KRIS SHRED - Now I Am Gone (Original 2007)

[Greg7341]

Wonderful!

[KrisShred]

@Greg7341

TY very much, it means a lot

[kentishism]

Amazing, Kris. You have a very distinctive voice and a very good range, it seems. Well composed and well played, my friend. You are an inspiration, without a doubt. Oce again, I am so glad I found you.

[KrisShred]

@kentishism

Thank you very much :)

It's an older song and recording. The new ones will be more polished ;-)

Kris

[777danid]

freu mich auf deine songs- um sie in orginal qualität zu hören- ;) geben mir sehr viel - in moments like this ;)

[elmchen2010]

wow

[milos2009gk]

ακριβως ετσι κωστα μου...

[junkyardvideos77]

real love does not wither, it grows and transforms and changes yet still remains forever in the hearts of those who experience it - for real (in reality, which is in their hearts, not just their heads :D )

[baybabygirl1]

beautiful! x

[csybu]

this is very nice Kris, yo have a nice voice. I wish I had it as well.

[KrisShred]

Thank you csybu - I wish I could play the tripplet like you ;-)

..Flamenco?.. maybe in my next life lol

[BlackCherry96]

CEST TROOOOP BIEN!!!!

[vampireknight044]

hey good at singing i love the song :D

[tripships]

I like all of your songs,

where do you get the chords from ?

[VaultMusic105]

Dude another really amazing song. I looked at your profile and saw your influences and favorite types of music and it was cool because we like alot of the same stuff. Your stuff is really really good. If you want you should check out some of our stuff and tell us what you think but only if you want too.

[az1421]

supperrrrrr 5*****

[Horu25et]

Ich mag so lange Stücke ja sehr. Deine Kamera zwar nicht aber wen interessiert. Die Möwen zumindest auch nicht. ;-)

..wobei mir da so n Gedanke kommt, aber du hast bestimmt auch selbst schon Möglichkeiten erörtert. Naja, ich komme ja ruckizucki an gute Kameras & Equipment, n kleines Storyboard für n Video sollte dir mit Sicherheit genauso lecht fallen wie das Spielen deiner Gitarre... jetzt muss ich nur noch schauen, dass ich mal 1-2 Tage Zeit finde. :) ...is nur so ne Idee

[KrisShred]

Wow, das klingt super! Ich bin eh gerade dabei den Song neu zu produzieren. D.h. Soundproduktion ist eher meine Stärke. Mit der visuellen Geschichte kenn ich mich nicht sonderlich gut aus (mein PC ist zu lahm, sonst hätte ich mich schon mehr mit Video-Editor-Software auseinandergesetzt). Von daher freue ich mich immer, Leute zu treffen, mit denen man individuelles Potential verknüpfen und bündeln kann :-)

[Horu25et]

Naja, du hattest mich schonmal ganz unverbidlch zu ner Jam-Session eingeladen, bei mir liegts immer nur an der Zeit, aber für gute Musik und nette Leute opfer ich mich sehr gerne.

Und wegen Technik, Schnitt, Kamera, Licht, etc. brauchst du dir keine Gedanken machen. Ich bin nicht umsonst Kameramann ;)

We'll see ...aber das können wir gerne vertiefen, gerade weil du zur Zeit ja dein Album aufnimmst, würde zeitlich passen da auch was visuelles rauszuhauen :)

[sxeeplta]

5 stars ^ ^ as always. i love these songs.

[Jenweigt]

hammer stimme, mach was draus!!

[davidandkaze]

good song but did u just get dumped or something and its a littel long

[trentwingfield]

i really like this one. brilliant work.

[oldnrone]

This is very good! Cheers!

[2705VaHo]

Toller Typ, tolle Musik. Einfach klasse. Ich könnte dir stundenlang zuhören..:)

[reBorN666666]

Mehr Leute wie dich brauch das Land!!! Mehr Menschen die Musik aus Leidenschaft machen und nicht des Geldes wegen! Ich würd mir dein Album sofort kaufen einfach um so einen großartigen Künstler und seine Wahnsinns Musik zu unterstützen! Lass dich nicht Unterkriegen und mach verdammt noch mal weiter so wir wollen mehr von dir sehen und vorallem hören ;)

[Tyza1000]

[heavenlyworld]

Super schön. Toll gespielt und klasse gesungen.

Viele Grüße

[KrisShred]

Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback Vera!! :-) That's something precious to me, that you felt/feel 'into' my music! Thanks!

Kris

[Cherryalexandra001]

Oh! and did I tell you? I am now your # fan where can I get your songs?

[KrisShred]

At the moment I'm home producing some of my original songs in better quality and with multi tracks. I'm planning to sell them online in the next months, but first have to check the several providers and their individual terms.

When there'll be any news I'll inform my friends and subscribers on YouTube.

Cheers :)

Kris

[Cherryalexandra001]

YAY! It's me again! I love to listen to you sing & play the guitar Kris! I play the guitar too =) although not as good as you! I like the way you put so much feelings in what you sing, your facial expressions just blows me out & I can't help but watch you sing most of the time *wink* You amaze me!

[Philippovic88]

[llondoner]

Nice song mate.

[Smihin1]

[KrisShred]

Vielen Dank! :)

[redalzo]

hey kris a wee bet o

scottish (that was braa)

[CNZ19]

Ich liebe diesen Mikrofonständer!!!

Und natürlich auch den Song.....aber der Mikrofonständer...haha...der ist einfach klasse.

Hey bleib dabei, das wird noch dein Markenzeichen ;)

Chris :o)

[Ph3n0xXx]

wärs übertrieben wen ich sagen würde ICH LIEBE DICH xDDDD

du bist ein gott, mann xDDD

hammer...echt...mir blieb die luft weg =D

[KrisShred]

Ob das übertrieben sei, liegt im Auge des Betrachters :D hehe..

Aber vielen Dank für die Blumen! Freut mich sehr dass dir der Song so gut gefällt :-)

Kris

[marilen25]

me gusta tu estilo !! bravo

[KrisShred]

Obrigado Maria :)

[Smihin1]

schon wieder so ein lied was man nach einmel hören nicht aus dem kopf bekommt ... x]^

woher kannst du eigentlich so schön, fließend englisch?

[KrisShred]

Hey, danke dir! :)

Englisch habe ich in der Schule gelernt und es war schon immer eins meiner Liebligsfächer ;)

Bin aber auch nicht perfekt oder so (wer ist das schon, egal in was). Gruß ☼

Kris

[Smihin1]

klingt aber nicht nach schulenglisch ;)

schulenglisch ist viel abgehackter^^

für mich klingst du so wie mein gastvater in hastings, der hat fast ganauso geredet xD

ja englisch hats drauf^^

[KrisShred]

Ich denke durch die letzten 2 Jahre YouTube habe ich auch viel adaptiert von Amerikanischen Akzenten. An sich hatte ich British English gelernt, aber so ein bisschen 'amerikanisches Kaugummi' hab ich mir schon angewöhnt hehe ;-)

[Smihin1]

lässig^^

wo bekomm ich eigentlich deine musik her?!

[BubblyGirl444]

You sing from your heart and soul! Very nice!! Love this song!! EXCELLENT! (1 of 60 and I'm just getting started... :-) BubblyGirl444 (Claudia)

[KrisShred]

Wow, thank you very much for your beautiful words BGirl :-) I'm glad there are people like you who don't complain about the sound, or the simple chords I use, but just listen to the music and the mood of the song :)

Kris

[Jurkebox85]

oh I forgot, damn good song

[KrisShred]

Danke dir! :)

[Jurkebox85]

looks like Mannheim, right?

gute alte Heimat... =)

[KrisShred]

Knapp daneben.. Heidelberg ;-) Cheers,

Kris

[elleee111]

Nice lyrics. That's why I like this song because it's lucid, visual, and descriptive without "telling". Great luck to you!

[KrisShred]

Thanks a lot for your interesting feedback :)

Kris

[MemberOfWhy]

I think it's awsome :D are you proffesionel?

das ist eine schön lied... or what ever:) i really don't speak germen well.

[KrisShred]

Thanks very much. Music isn't my profession, since I am not signed at any label. Your German sentence was correct, keep it up :) Cheers,

Kris

[WoOk1982]

Hey Chris,

danke Dir für die schönen Stunden die Du uns bescherst.

Meine Süsse und ich lagen schon oft auf dem Bett und haben Dir zugehört.

Wir sind Dir sehr dankbar für jede Minute die Du investiert hast

in das was wir und hier anhören dürfen.

Lass dir eins gesagt sein: Du gehst unter die Haut!

Danke danke danke :)

Mach weiter so. Bleib wie Du bist und zieh dein Ding durch...

Gruß, Henning

[KrisShred]

Hey, freut mich! Danke dir sehr Henning (und Freundin) :-)

Kris

[fiorellamartinez]

Seria interesante escucharla con todo un grupo, pero acustico claro, porque suena muy bien con guitarra y tu voz, el ritmo es cambiante, cuando hagas los altos imaginate que quieres levantar con tus manos el techo, solo imaginatelo y ya veras.

Muy lindo, me recuerda el unplugged

de Cobain.

[KrisShred]

You are right, imagination is very important ~ thanks Fiorella :-)

Kris

[TheUnlucky101]

Simply brilliant. The low heavy accoustic (granted it's the only instrument) simply brings joy to my heart. I must compliment you highly on this song, for it is a favourite of mine now. :) I cannot wait for you remake this with more instruments and a better quality recording. (I assume.) Only suggestion: Try not to drown out the accoustic. ^.^

So far: My favourite of your songs, I highly commend you for such a wonderfully written\sung\performed song.

[KrisShred]

Thanks a lot Rhys! Really appreciate your comment! :) I'm not sure how the final version will sound like.. oh, we'll see ;). Sunny greetings to Australia!

Kris

[p0nette]

you play sooo well...

[KrisShred]

7h4nk y0u p0n3tt3 ;-)

[bollingdavid]

Dude, you're sooo amazing!

[ferfried6]

Ich beobachte dich schon länger Kris.

Ich mag deine Arbeiten.***** Sterne jetzt!!

[KrisShred]

Vielen Dank ferFried aus E ;o)

Kris

[MonCauchemar]

du hast echt ne saugeile stimme..sry wenn ichs so sage ^_^ aber ich finds genial..^^

grüße aus bayern x)

[KrisShred]

Hey danke dir :o) Warum entschuldigen für deine ehrliche Meinung? Ich schätze das sehr :)

Kris

[LunaontheRock]

Hey Kris!! I like really bad this song...How can I get a copy, mp3, wav, ogg, wherever :)....let me know?!

Luna ♥

[KrisShred]

Thank you!! ..pm..

[sistaspooky1013]

Musically: I love this song. I believe it deserves a better production - it can definitly hold 8:50 mins. I can imagine it with more voice tracks, harmonies, guitars work - this song is a little empire to produce. And once the empire is built, I'd LOVE to hear the outcome. 5*s for this one - Kris, you are getting better better better with every musical breath you take. I love to watch you in progress.

S

[KrisShred]

Also true :D I WILL produce a multi trakc version of this song in the next months, that's for sure :) Thanks again!

Kris

[sistaspooky1013]

YAY!!!

[sistaspooky1013]

"when I come in contact with a person, I don't come in contact with the person directly, but make sure that we both come in contact with the *third matter*. From that third matter lives the connection" - Mr. Keuner

I believe that third matter is inspiration - something to give. When there's no more to give love begins to fade.

S

[KrisShred]

Very true, I think that's right. That is what the song is about :) Thanks sissy

[sistaspooky1013]

that's why true love is only getting deeper ;)

[sistaspooky1013]

Darling, I'm sorry, that's bullshit what I wrote. Love is not a third matter. Not when it's real. Falling in love, a crush, yeah, but not love. Emotions can fade, but when you love you come in direct contact with the person and that turns into a bond than remains rigid even after your body turns into ashes. Anything other than that is an illusion of love.

Love,

S

[KrisShred]

Wow sissy :) You're right again :-))

However I didn't read your comment in the way that you excluded love back then ;o)

Kris

[sistaspooky1013]

I love the way that you are sometimes a step wiser than me - it inspires me to grow my wisdom :D

I think what keeps people together is that together they make something that is better than both of them alone - that way they inspire each other to become better coz it's better for all of them.

S

[KrisShred]

That's the way it shall be yes =)

When people get this 'message', that's worth a lot and they'll be/get respectable persons.

Kris

[sistaspooky1013]

I believe that in nature there are two main forces - the life force (creating etc) and the destructive force. We all need BOTH to survive and to die. If we can bring ourselves to live as creators, it's more likely that we'll die in peace. But in order to keep ourselves creative we must be aware of and protect ourselves from the destructive force in both ourselves and the people around us,

[KrisShred]

I don't need no destructive force to die :D I will die automatically lol.

Well, yeah, sometimes even I myself act desctructive (who doesn't), but that's just human. And sometimes it even can change our life to something new or better. It mustn't though (remember Kurt Cobain and his headshot *g*) - Well, for us that was something NOT-BETTER, but certainly for Kurt it was better (relieved from his physical pains).

[sistaspooky1013]

It's amazing how a person can be a dead alive emotionaly for years, but only when it comes to physical pain do we actually SERIOUSLY consider an attempt...

I guess we're all slaves of survival, no matter how much we'll try to get out of it 'and only to live, to live, only to live' - no matter what the price. That's scary, but inevitable.

S

[sternchenfine]

so allmählich vermute ich schleichwerbung diese rio dóro-flasche betreffend^^

[KrisShred]

Der O-Saft schmeckt echt gut :D Aber die Flasche ist nicht so schön, daher werd ich die in zukünftigen Videos vermeiden ;o)

K

[Cranny71]

Daumen hoch für den klasse Song!

[KrisShred]

Vielen Dank. Freut mich sehr :o)

K

[MaryAsinger]

Wicked cool song!

Awsome original!

xxxxx

[KrisShred]

Thank you Mary for watching :)

[UhLawnUh]

you are so beautiful:)

i can tell you put so much heart into your music and it pays of.

all the stuff i have listened to is just so soothing and awesome.

your voice is so different.

i love it

keep it up :)

[KrisShred]

Thank you very much :) Where are you from?

Kris

[bfsongs]

Today I listened to a lot of your stuff...from here to MySpace...you've got a lot of songs with different versions...most of your songs are written for just one person...aren't they?

Regards,

Bruno

[KrisShred]

Yeah, I don't write music for the masses ;o)) *joking* - most of my own lyrics involve ex relationships (real or imagined) :D I like that topic a lot :)

Kris

[gjourney]

Beautiful voice! Great sound and love that guitar.

[KrisShred]

Thank you Ray! :-)

[Daracon75]

Finally someone who actually used some Panning and EQ lol.

[KrisShred]

Yeah, it's hard to do that on YouTube since all vidz get converted to mono after having uploaded them ^^ Cheers,

K

[sammoandtheammo]

great stuff

[KrisShred]

Thank you

[blandmangopatterson]

hows it going kris, nice tune and LOUD guitar.

I got a bong like that 1

[KrisShred]

haha... I only have a mic stand like that one ;)) Music is better than 'drugs' (although music is a drug;) Cheers Mango, glad you're still around :)

Kris

[johnclinebell]

yeah i thought this one sounded different :)

[KrisShred]

Absolutely, not only the guitar sound, but also the song itself is quite different from my other ones, I think. Thanks JCB :)

[johnclinebell]

nice, we get the extreme close up of the orange juice container before the video! this one's got great energy to it; and i always like choruses that are more about sounds than words. if that makes sense. so you record the audio and video separately and then put them together in the computer?

[KrisShred]

Yeah, you like catchy melodies, me too ;o) In this video I plugged the half acoustic guitar directly into my soundcard, so the sound got a bit different from my older videos. Yeah, I always record audio and video separately. A bunch more work but in the end it's worth while I think :)

Kris

[cilicchia]

....beautiful song Kris.I feel beautiful sensation when you play and sing..please..play for me.:(

[KrisShred]

Thank you very much Vale :o)

[cilicchia]

vale??

[KrisShred]

As written as your 'name' in your YT channel.

[cilicchia]

ahahahahahahah....no no..I don't know why is vale,but my really name is andrea...ahahhahhahhahhahha...­ciao bellissimo

[ilovekrisshred]

I have a few songs that I would love to go over with you Kris. I would love to get your professional opinion. Your voice is so perfect for the lyrics.

blessings, ILKS

[KrisShred]

We can do that. Just pm me and give me your MSN addy. Nice greetz,

Kris

[CsvlDaikun]

You always have the most interesting mic mounts- coffee mugs, little jack-o-lanterns, now a juice bottle?

The song is beautiful, but that's nothing surprising ;)

[KrisShred]

Yeah, an orange bottle ;) Thanks mate!

[DrBlueMoon]

I like it, Kris! Especially the chorus is really nice sounding. good job!

[KrisShred]

Thank you :)

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

I love the emotion and energy of your singing. There is something driving and earthy about this piece that reminds me of the American west! Like a trail song or a "high lonesome" ballad. I think it is the mournful chorus. I really dig the chunky progressions, too. You rock Kris (in STEREO!)

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Ha! I just saw the seagulls! Kind of goes with the lyrics; like the gulls are roosting on a big arrow pointing upriver, ready at any moment to burst off in flight! Funny!

[chuuta2003]

It is a wild song.

The sound of the acoustic guitar is really good.

You record it by sound with the sense of reality! ?

[KrisShred]

sense of reality? :D for sure..

I simply plugged in the guitar in my sound card :)

Kris

[chuuta2003]

Perhaps I think that this sound doesn't come out in Japan.... The reason may be because the humidity is different. Still, it is a guitar making a good sound.

[KrisShred]

I also usually use software to improve the sound a bit - effects like reverb, eq and compressor.

Cu chuuta :o)

[chris1970pgh]

I like your new song, no need for piano and extra sound effects; Is great in pure form. Will you sing in German? I really enjoy listening to music in different languages. What you say?

[KrisShred]

No, I'll leave it in English :) Cheers!

Kris

[guitarrox]

Great song kris very powerfull 5 stars bro RoXOn

[celestialsam]

I loved how you sang "I Am Gone". The only thing that was missing was the sexy wink:P

[Frankliso]

great as always.... cant wait to hear the full version....

[TheDennisGee]

Cool song my friend.

[Cameragirl803]

Just great Kris! Sound is very good on this!

5*****jane

[tuskaiae]

This has a cruisey feel to it...would be a great song to pop in the cd player while driving somewhere, just to chill out...LOve it!!! 5***** :-)

[orangejunk20]

Thank you so much for the lovely words :o)

Really thanks :)

[Aergerdichnicht]

Klasse Kris!Wunderschöner Song und gutes Video.

Liebe Grüsse.

[Josy139]

Der song ist echt klasse. Passiert jede Menge und wird nicht langweilig. Hervoragend!

[hhomar27]

Excellent. Really good song. I think your falsetto sounds better for the higher bits, rather than shout-singing them.

[waitswatcher]

cool ... I like the simplicity.

[BeatnikManfred]

Hi Kris,ich schliesse mich den Worten von Rocket Rob an,er hat nur noch vergessen zu erwähnen,das

der Sound super ist.*****Manni

[marywinmusic]

Fantastic new melody you're sharing! Great lyrics and feel. The chords you chose are marvelous and your singing is spot on! This is why I love youtube :-} 5* to you Kris! Cheers, ~Mary

[Ottawarocket]

Really like this song, Lyrics Rythm Melody..Just great : )

Rocket

[kickingmule]

You don't need a piano or any other stuff, perhaps some orange-juice in front of you, cause it's GREAT stuff and so are the SONG, as you perform it !!!

Peace !

[TiffanyJoAllen]

Hi Kris,

Love your new song! Your voice and guitar playing are awesome!

Tiffany Jo

[fafarajfa]

:-)))

[AnnieCanada]

Awesome sound Kris! The guitar is so crystal clear in my headphones! And just love your voice! I think its a very catchy melody!

[kaliazzura]

hey this is really cool! I like that you're putting lots of originals up. :)

[KrisShred]

I like it too. Songwriting is fun :) Thanks for every comment Kali - really appreciated :)

[SocialDecline]

nice tune kris x

[LeeshaHarvey]

Coming back for another listen! Wow, your voice is really amazing on this one! It really shows your versatility.

[KrisShred]

That's the keyword - 'versatility'. I never wanna get narrow minded concerning music or styles (or life;). Thanks Leesha :)

[secretstrummer]

You put your heart into this one Kris - very nice.

[KrisShred]

Thanks my friend :)

[nicendangerous]

Hey, klingt super, freu mich schon auf die fertige Version, mag all die verschiedenen Teile. Machste noch ne 2.Stimme drüber? Und Piano? Würd schöön tön mit Piano:D

[KrisShred]

Will ich ja. Find nur keine Zeit :(

[nicendangerous]

ach so. naja auch ned so schlimm, dann tu ich mir halt einfach Piano und die 2. Stimme vorstellen:D

[KrisShred]

irgendwann ^^ im jahr 2008 wird es geschehen ;)

[coolanddark]

man what a great song.should be on the radio.serious

[MelleStar]

In my opinion, it's one of the best songs you have ever written. :) Full of soul and emotion. I like all the varied parts of the song, also the high and deep vocals. And you are right, this song resembles VAST. I'm very curious about the final version with piano and maybe violin. Melle

[MikeHelmsMusic]

Nice Kris .. really like the texture change on the playing pattern.. lookin forward to the mix version.. May I suggest' some French Horns.soft in the back ground and/or violin..

[KrisShred]

have to try that out, if i find the right equipment :) some Flächenklänge (flat sounds?) like strings etc.

[MikeHelmsMusic]

Yeah I think.. just accent stuff. may be cool!

[DiegoSynth]

I like it, sounds very good! I'm not sure about the length; it may be a bit long... But the chords are good, the rhythm, the melody; & I'd really like to hear the full version as u describe it!

So I'll be waiting for it!

[afterglow94]

i cant really believe that i'm listening to this song over and over =P

i love the tunes u make on ur guitar hahaha =D

-me.

[mmcs122]

Hey, excellent song, Kris!

The sound quality on this is just outstanding!!

I just love your voice.  I'm sure I told you that already but it's definitely worth repeating.. ;)

[tommiji]

Great song, nice soaring melody! Looking forward to the finished product (you always do such a great job adding other instrumentation)!

[koistudios]

I loved it! =)

[mcob1]

five. valkaries? I liked it. Could get a thicker pick.

[orangejunk20]

thicker pick haha. i guess that's a running gag now :D cheers mate ;)

[mcob1]

I'm serious--isn't yours a .57 or .77? try a 1.00mm or more.

[wayslinn]

Really a pleasure to watch this video, so beautiful song. Maybe try a shorter version. I think 8'49 is a little long for a song :)

[KrisShred]

yep. will shorten it in the next version :) merci

[modernoracle]

Nice work Kris, Great tune, awesome vocals. Lookng forward to your studio version!

[KrisShred]

Yeah exactly. That's how I imagine the final version to be. Thanks very much for your comment :)

kris

[sisjewell]

Nice!! I really like the part around mid 4 minutes.
