just watched Holding Trevor and fell in love with this song. sorry to say I never heard of you before today but definitely love your voice, you are quite cute, and seem like a beautiful person, heart mind and soul. will be looking at all your videos and your music over the next few days. much love and good emotions to you through the ether.
shit!...i saw the gay film....this song was there...shit i love this song :))...and now i'm listening it...god god...thank you :)) you are the best :))
Great Song!!! OMG Jay You Are Seriously Like A Freaking Genius... I LOVE Your Music! I Have The Whole Goddamned CD On My iPod And I Listen To It All The Time.
And You Were Great In "Holding Trever" I Just Saw It Last Night And You Were great In It. I Honestly Only Picked It Up Because I Saw that you Were In It. And It Ended Up Now Being One Of My Fave Movies! And This Song Was Great In It.
I think it's about a relationship that ended, all the pain and grief you go through when that happens and then trying to figure out who you are seperately instead of together. But, even through all that, you can't forget the impact that one person had/has on your life. "You were the one to lower my gun" = "You were the one I let(and will always let)my guard down for".
I think it means to make you not hate yourself as much, to make you feel better. It can be a personal definition though, I think. But what I mean is like for someone to literally lower a gun that one might have pressed against their temple or something? Jay's a big self-hater. XD

ok honestly bro, lyrics kinda simple....but not that good simple, the lyrics suck man, as for the guitar...pretty kool, voice is decent, but yea the lyrics killed it for me...
not like you havent heard/read it already, but, holy cow! simply amazing in many ways! and definately jealous of your singing ability but i suppose ill get over it lol!!
This is awesome I'm jewish! I' sooooo jealous because I want to go to Israel. Your Awesome Jay. I'm really trying to tells people about you and spread your name. Hope it helps.
This is the first time I have ever seen this before... Never heard of you before and now at 12:15 on youtube... here you are! You are awesome! Marry me =)
this is probably my favorite song of yours. simple and honest and beautiful, jay. you should totally sell this as a single on Itunes. Ever your fan (no fear of anthrax :])
Jay, I really love this song. Will you PLEEEASE play "Lower My Gun" at your Orlando, FL show? If you forget I'll be screaming from the audience to remind you! =]
I heard you sing this in "Holding Trevor" and went looking for it on your album, but it wasn't there. Looking forward to you releasing it at some point. It's such a pretty song. Let's hear it for kick-ass one nighters! :)
please please please please im dying to get tabs for your music Jay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone tabbed this yet??? im trying... but really not getting very far!!

Just wanted to say u r not in Isreal but in Palestine and you should tell all the "friendly people" to put their guns down and stop kill palestinian children!
I just can't get over how amazing this and many other of your songs are. Your voice alone blows me away and the fact that you have lyrics to back it up is increadible.. Love you Jay!!
Is there a place to find a list of your upcoming performances? I'm gonna be in NYC a few times over the summer and would love to see a show :) ~Thanks

i like the lyrics alot there awesome the guitar could be a lil different but it was good i think i was expecting a more nirvana sound but just cuz the title i know a lil shallow
I didn't get to go chill with you and Bitch at the Bowery. I saw Spring Awakenings on Broadway that day and was so tired by night. The casting director told me you tried out for the play but were "too old."
You´re a great singer and songwriter and very, very personoable. I like your humor, also when you´re right on the toilet, talking things and singing a song...^^
Okay... I'm shooting straight from the hip, so don't get bent outa shape. Your lyrics are dead on witty, poetic and I have nothing to say about that. Your chorus has some "iffy" spots where your melody is conflicting with your chords. I love your chords, and your fingerings are rather intricate. I would drop a semi-tone on "hallway" in your chorus. Take a slow listen and hear the dissonance that doesn't jive. Hope this helps.
Thats so amazing Jay i just CRYING RIGHT NOW:'( THATS SONGS REMEMD ME ABOUT A GIRL.......THE SUNRISE AND EVERTHING......BECAUSE I TOLD HER THAT SHE AND ME WILL BE ON THE NEAR SEA ABOUT 5-10......I JUST CRYING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW :'( / JOSEPH
What a perfect song.. I just ended a relationship and this song kinda made me think about him and I got a sad.. and then you said the pitty fuck.. god dam I hate that bitch.. anyway.. your awesome!
I wonder how you know how to play the corresponding notes on the guitar to what you are singing when you previously said you don't even know what the name of the strings are?
But somehow you manage quite well. This was great. Didn't listen to the lyrics, cause the music was lullabyish (which is good). Great!
I like the almost creepy, semi-off chords in the chorus. It really expresses the mood of your song well. Same thing in the bridge... absolutely amazing.
Jay Brannan is beyond perfect!!! :)
