[RachelWolfMusic]

This screams #1 hit song, winning a Grammy kind of song. GREAT lyric. Want to see a full-blown music video for it. Want to record it myself! Love love love it.

Nice work and wouldn't be surprised if that was a #1 country hit. I can see Carey Underwood singing that song.

[trucountry]

Great job Sam! I love all your work. You are truly an amazing artist.

[mindya12]

Wow! That's my theme song for my separation and divorce! Amazing! Fantastic!

[SamHarrisCOM]

mindya12, may I suggest Sam's video called "Making Love Alone"? I feel your pain.

Kudos,

Danny Aaronson

[toogood4u97]

I totally agree with Dunsky I was pleasantly surprised to really like your song! it's really good, especially for a song @ such an early stage in the songwriting process- I favorited this vid so I can listen to it again- cant wait to hear it on the album...

I'll admit I had never heard of you, but I'm definitely going to follow your Friend Fridays and also check out the rest of your music -your very talented and I dont throw that term around loosely!

[toogood4u97]

Nice... That was really good... I would buy that

[Pippilly]

OMG! I was just one minute away from sending you a comment on your channel "Do you miss me" that is so bazaar! that's freaky! Ok I am back lol!!! gunna eat some dip and watch your video, I love you too xoxoxooxxo

[Chuck2Pastor]

Thank you! This song expresses how I feel about my wife right now.

[pofumich]

Absolutely awesome song.

[Dylansmom27]

I LOVED the new song.OMG...the talent that you have!! But you know that. You give me goosebumps! You rock! Any chance that you will do any appearances in Massachusetts?

[beachbumde]

Did you almost say: Oh My Gravy? lol

Love the new song, btw!

[RoryRita]

Hi! I come by way of Zipster! I wasnt prepared to like you, but I do. You do have a great voice.

[dunskie]

Just found this accidentally. I remember Sam from Star Search! So funny. To be honest, I was not expecting that original tune to be something I would like. Surprised me.I like that chorus a lot. Good luck. Youtube likes a good original song.

[troystar]

Sam I love the song, I'm already humming the refrain. Keep it simple acoustic, less production would be better let your voice shine. When can we expect an album?

[fromthispoint]

I remember this guy from many years ago as one of the best singers ever.

[tampasdream]

wow sam, you tell many of our personal stories with this song..its great, i cant wait until the cd is done

[salimacat1]

Oh, Dear Sam. I was feeling so down, being alone for the holidays. But then I saw that you thought enough of me to actually write to me! THANK YOU! You have made me believe in myself again. It only takes one special person to make all the difference. You have made a big difference in my life. You are an amazing man! You should have your own talk/variety show. So that the world can be blessed by your presence! YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR!!!Love always, Salima

[salimacat1]

THANK YOU, SAM. I AM LIVING IN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTER. I GAVE UP EVERYTHING BUT I STILL HAVE ME. THAT SONG SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO D.V. IT BROUGHT TEARS OF JOY INTO MY EYES. I LOVE IT AND YOU SAM. YOU ARE A GIFT FROM GOD! YOU HAVE AN AMAZING VOICE AND ARE JUST A BALL OF TALENT! My sister was murdered by her husband but I left just in time! She used to call me "SAM"! I am glad to have found you again, you have brought such joy into my shattered life! PEACE AND LOVE, SALIMA/SAM!

[SamHarrisCOM]

Salima - Thank you SO MUCH for writing to me. You made my day, week, month, year! I am so glad to know that you are out a dangerous place in a safe one. I am sorry that your sister did not get out in time. But you have a life ahead of you. You have made the most important decision of your life. Congratulations. - Love, Sam

Good idea!

[AndreBakerUK]

Hi SAm, A UK fan here, just wanted to say that I think this song is STUNNING, love it very much, really enjoy all your VLOGS and Ask Sam Harris, please keep up the good work, Happy Christmas to you and Danny with love from Andre xx

[MBScherry]

Wonderful Song Sam!! It does not even sound like a work in progress. I love hearing you sing with just the guitar. "Free" and "Thank You" are both great and I cannot wait for the CD.

Love,

Mary Beth XXOO

[SamHarrisCOM]

VLOGGERS - This is an excellent video to send to your friends so they hear the new song and start passing it on. The best thing we can do for this CD is get it going around before it's released. YouTube has become a great pre-motion tool so if you like the song - share it! Happy Holidays -

_Webmaster

[iluv2singnchoir]

Great song, Sam and Matt! I love it and hope you don't change it a bit! It really touched my heart :o)

-Nancy

[wendyakelly]

Hey Sam. I LOVED the new song "Thank You". It touched my heart after a recent breakup and finding my own strength in it! Keep Vlogging - you are such an inspiration to us other performers. See you at Birdland.

[damone77]

I love the widescreen with Sam singing into the mike. I guess that mike was presenced differently than the first time Sam sang it. Anyway, the song is beautiful and maybe it will end up in a movie. Who knows?

[thielden]

thats pretty cool. Keep up the good work.

[tbear94044]

I'm still singin' along... I'm still hummin'... "Thank YOU!"  Oh, I love it!

Thanks Sam!

[jankathryn1]

I saw you at Joe's Pub because you were the top 1 on my top 10 list to do before I die...I am from Oklahoma also, but now live in Alaska. I love your new song. You are an amazing singer and obviously an awesome writer. I'll buy it! Have a great Christmas!

[Kjazzinphx]

Thank You speaks to me. I am so grateful for all the stuff that at the time I didn't feel grateful for. Thank you!

[SamHarrisCOM]

HEY!

Did you know that if you click the bright orange SUBSCRIBE button on top of the right column, it will change color?!

I kid you not. Try it now!

[damone77]

Love the song~little bit of self esteem goes along way, and I think that's what the song is all about! Congragulations on becoming partner!!! Someone who has the kind of vibe you have; well it just doesn't surprise me 10 octave man:)

[angieros]

Oh, forgot to congratulate you Michael!! You do a hell of a job with all of Sam's websites!!! Congrats on being a youtube partner!!! Angie

[Pawla656]

Looking forward to that new CD!

[angieros]

Hi Sam, Love the song!! I can hear some killer drums with this...I think you should have a big band playing with you on this tune..kind of has a rock and roll feel to it.

Can't wait for your new cd!! Our's are really wearing out and we need a new one to play all the time!! Love you Sam..Angie & Louise

[scowndrel]

So, my question is...do you have cameras in my apartment? EXACTLY what I'm going through at the moment. You're amazing. Just amazing.

[SamHarrisCOM]

Glad you're in a place of gratitude from a seemingly rotten situation. Thanks - Sam

[scowndrel]

Hey rotten situations make life worth living. Sam, I would LOVE for this version to become an mp3...a teaser trailer for the end product. I could really use it on my iPod. You are amazing, Sam. I told you that at the Bette Midler concert. This is EXACTLY what life is handing me right now.

[CJKEYZ]

*snoopy dance for youuuu*

Loved the new song too

[onepeacenow]

I know this is not a major thing but....I take time to write a comment and 50% of the time it doesn't show up so....

what's a mother to do?

[SamHarrisCOM]

onepeacenow, I know it's frustrating, but obviously we have nothing to do with it. I find it's best to click the "view all comments" link below. You will usually see new comments appear there, and it takes time show up otherwise, unless you hit reload.

[twostepcub]

Sam, you've done an awesome job. FOr a song you said you just threw together moments before, it related to me more than anything you've done before. I'll be waiting for hearing the final!

Cheers

[oldluvie]

Love Love Love it. For some reason I have a feeling it will be part of a movie... Not sure why, just feels that way. Thanks for sharing and congrats on the Partner thing.

[SamHarrisCOM]

That would be a good thing! - Thanks - Sam

[oldluvie]

Hey Sam... I'm one of the two gals (two girls NO cup) that spoke with you after the Palm Springs show in Nov. You were fabulous that night. Hoping you'll come back out here to sing songs from your new, #1, CD.

Any chance we can get you to post FREE or THANK YOU on your myspace page so that we can add it to our profile?

[VLPRESL]

oldluvie, you can put them on your profile by the embed code and then copy and paste.all my best, vicki

[forestnj]

Brilliant! You've got a top 40 hit for sure.

[SamHarrisCOM]

From your lips..... - Sam

[uscdlee]

sam - just wanted to say hi and congrats! i've already shared this vlog with a few friends... what a great song, and i agree that i've never seen/heard a flaw - but if you have them, oh, aren't sam flaws wonderful? take care and congrats again on partner (oh and giving up cigs again!) cynthia xo

[stacyzz09]

Thanks for sharing your music with us! I've been a fan since the beginning, have all your Albums but this is the most "popish" I've ever heard you. Sounds like it'll make it to the radio and finally all the "others" out there will know what us fans already know, Just how freakin' talented you are!

Stacy xox

[SamHarrisCOM]

The whole cd is feeling......accessible. Thanks so much - Sam

[aumusicman]

Amazing song. It's like you looked into my life and wrote it. Thanks for the sneek peek.

[SamHarrisCOM]

glad you feel that way - thank you - Sam

[rspringt]

love the song. cant wait to hear it on the new cd. Love that you and michael got the youtube partner. I have loved your vlogs from the start & now more people can get to see and download your stuff.

[drcabana]

Love the song Sam! Thank You for sharing as always.

[MarkBroughton1]

Sam.I would like to THANK YOU.

I'm just going through a weird thing with my Ex at the moment and this coupled with fighting depression made your song mean something more to me.

Thank you for letting us get this close to your daily life and career.

It's quite special to us.

Mark xx

[SamHarrisCOM]

I wrote the lyrics and my my brother and I wrote the music. I usually write all the words to my songs. Some I write all the music and some I cowrite the music. Glad you like. - Sam

[payette]

This is SO Exciting! I'm so happy for you guys. FANTASTIC work Michael. Being a Partner will get more people to check out your videos.

CONGRATS!

xo,

Corey

[SamHarrisCOM]

Thanks Corey!

Don't worry, we have not forgotten about Santa.

Michael

[poohnsnug]

Love the song "Thank You" Sounds Great. Can't get the tune out of my head.

Love Ya SAM!

[brendarose06]

Sam, Maybe prejudiced but I love "thank you". Then again I love anything that comes out of your mouth you are sooo talented...Your brother is also a cutie..best of luck with your new C.D I know I'll buy it !!! And I thank you Brenda

[SamHarrisCOM]

TO THE REGULAR VLOGGERS - I know you share Sam videos/blogs/asksamharris and so on - but now that we are YouTube partners and now that Sam is going to be putting music on the site as he creates the new cd - this is THE BEST time to send links to favorite vlogs (like this one) to all your friends. tell them what a great song it is and let's spread this around like wildfire! _Webmaster

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

That was wonderful! I love Sam! XO Buck

CONGRATS ON BEING A PARTNER!

[SamHarrisCOM]

Buck Buck Buck! Glad you like. THANK YOU!! and thanks on the partner thing - I don't know what it means but any time I am accepted into anything it's nice. It makes up for all the teams I WASN'T chosen to play on in gym class......

[kissey167]

Sam Matt, great song, it's true, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, we do owe thanks to anyone who wrongs us, turning the other cheek. Do the song Sam style for the cd, then how about an unplugged with Matt playing and singing backup.. More Matt, More Matt. :) Take Care

[Nobbyboy2]

Wow! The song is great! The message is amazing and I think besides it being a great melody and song in your head and to sing with, the words are going to mean a lot to a lot of people. Congratulations on making partner. Is that like in a law firm??????? I'm with whoever said I want MP3s of these songs before the cd comes out!!!

[SamHarrisCOM]

Sometimes messages don't take - no one knows why - once in a while it takes I multiple posts before it "takes" - might be something to do with traffic - nothing was removed. - _webmaster

[jeeccentricx2]

Great song, I took the earphone out of the speaker so my daughter could hear it, she is just now getting her feet back.

And what does the U 2 PARTNER mean?

[SamHarrisCOM]

YouTUBE partner.Completely different. One would involve Bono and this one doesn't.... - Sam

Glad you like the song!

[diartistMI]

FANTASTIC!!!!!! I can tell already that I'm going to LOVE this new CD. Can't wait! I'd love it and I'm sure others would too, if you could post some of these demos as MP3s we can download while awaiting the CD.

Happy Holidays, Much Love,

Di

[SamHarrisCOM]

Well Di - it's tricky even to put up an entire song that's just a rough vocal - it's a new day with this youtube stuff and I have to say I am a bit nervous about putting stuff out before it's finished. But as we progress, we shall see. I'd rather people didn't have a rough version of anything until I am done. You do realize this is me singing through one pass on something - I can't BELIEVE I am letting everyone in on my flaws before we correct them!!!!

[diartistMI]

Sam... FLAWS?? I've seen you so many times, sometimes in top health and other times sick and/or exhausted and you always perform seemingly flawlessly. You amaze me!! It's terribly exciting to see the creative process and hear the raw versions of songs, then later get to hear the full "vision". Thanks for sharing with us! HUGS - Di

[SamHarrisCOM]

The more I listen to this, I don't know how much production we will do - maybe keeping it simple - re-do the vocal, add some cool strings and call it a day. I am digging the simplicity. Sometimes the rawness of original form just works. We shall see. And thanks for your words... - Sam

[mililpup]

keep it simple - maybe even just a nice clean guitar :)

so often overproduction makes stuff heavy and kills it (or is used to mask weak material)

[CJKEYZ]

There weren't any flaws I heard either.

But technically, there are ways of ripping the audio of youtube videos and making them into mp3's.

Not that I would ever do such a thing!

[MidgeDog]

WOW! What a brilliant song - I've been wandering around the house singing the chorus since hearing it - a surefire hit!!

Thanks for sharing something so special and new with us Sam. :D

And huge congrats to you and Michael for the YouTube partner thing. You guys are amazing and discovering these Vlogs has brought me so many laughs and a few tears, and most importantly MADE ME THINK!

Thank YOU!

Jen

[SamHarrisCOM]

you're making me a happy guy. this is too fresh for me to have perspective so your (and other) messages sound REAL good to me right now. - Sam

[mililpup]

Wow. The creative process just blows me away when it's honestly pursued.

Fantastic song, very Buddhist philosophy expressed :)

[SamHarrisCOM]

You made my day - Sam

[yayayoga]

I truly enjoyed that song, Sam! Such talent runs in the Harris household! Also, I wonder if saying the word "pooped" is a Southern thing. I am Southern and say "I am pooped" all of the time. Just saying....

[sparkybennett]

this is great. Love the song. It is stuck in my head already!! Thanks, and congrats on making partner!

[VLPRESL]

wow sam. this vlog really has THANK YOU written all over it. first, the song is great. THANK YOU for sharing. second, you were approved as a youtube partner. THANK YOU michael. can you explain what this means though? all my best-vicki

[VLPRESL]

ahhh... i just googled "youtube partner". ads and revenue for and from his videos, and... a bigger audience for sam!!!! yeah!!! this really is exciting.-vicki

[fabudan]

Really great song.I love the message and your voice is great for it, of course. If you don't record it, I could totally hear it rocked by Kelly Clarkson or even country fry it and it could work as well for a country diva.

[armi2513]

2nd comment !!!

[KES0036]

nice song Sam!!
