[crazyunclejim]

Rocking it all the way up to the ending, but the ending is difficult. props

[hehetushy]

This is beautiful .. not the easiest song to sing well ...nice job! =]

[missswatz]

can I just say, first off amazing!!

second I did I dance to this song last year it was one of my most favorite dances ever, in the 19 years ive been dancing!

It made me want to relive those moments on stage!!!

So Thank you! :)

[Artzka]

How beatiful guitar! Is it custom made?

[phuzzypharret]

One of my favorite JLC songs! Dare I say you're almost as good as Jay Clifford? Great job!

[leashkidsreleased]

what are the chords to this?? ican't find them anywhere!

[Prophecy23JC]

I just looked up the original.. I could only find live. Tried two different live videos.. To try to find something better.. or even close to yours. Nada.

[Prophecy23JC]

This is wonderful. It really is.

[habagrachel]

That was awesome! Where did you learn the chords? I cannot find them anywhere except for a crappy version that doesn't sound right..

[coconnel51]

This is my favorite song, kid. Ever. You did it much justice. And, I should know. I'm a Jay girl.

[scandalousprude]

awesome voice...love your guitar too :)

[scandalousprude]

great job...i love your voice! your guitar is really cool too!

[shanaruhuen]

This is truly awesome. I -love- Jump Little Children, and I'm equally addicted to your cver now, which for a live rendition in a stairwell is just.... ffffff yeah. Awesome. Many kudos!

[SeeSarahGo]

mmmm Lovely.

[shanaruhuen]

Nice! Very well done.

[DJMadamBraidz]

you're cute!

I like to sit on the floor in my bathroom and play guitar and sing. The acoustics in there are better than anywhere in the entire house.

Great job. Thats one of my fav songs by Jump. BUT my fav song by them is Cathedrals. You should cover that song.

=D

[roberjc]

Thats all I can say :x

[cuggle]

OMG...Marry me!! Dude your voice is dreamy. Come sing to me every night! LOL! No really nice job.

[AnnalieseofEve]

You had a lot to live up to dude, first the original version which is awesome, and then the cover my ex boyfriend did, and you totally exceeded my expectations.

Brilliant cover. Your voice lends itself really well to acoustic guitar. I was really moved hearing you play this. I know it's a year later, but this was truly an awesome "performance". Thank you.

[Kindness1980]

Absolutely lovely cover! You have a super voice and do justice to a gorgeous, complex song. Really, thank you for posting this! Terrific. Stairwells do have perfect sound! You should be out playing somewhere.

[daniellalucyITSWD]

this is really great :)

i love this song

you have a really nice voice and you really did the song justice.

[LunaCsettingIn]

This is one of my favorite songs, and you've done an amazing job with it.

[Kristian2164]

Great song, Sounds a little familiar.

[SweeneyToddCrazii13]

This beyond incredible. You are an AMAZING singer!! :D 5* and auto-favorite for me!!! :D

[JLynnJohnston]

Sweet! 2,500 views! Thanks, guys!

[digitaloutsider]

That was awesome. Thank you so much.

[manicdsgirl]

What a beautiful cover! It takes a great voice to do justice to anything Jay Clifford has sung!

(Oh, and sorry to be a nerd, but JLC formed in NC, and then set up camp in SC, not GA.)

;)

[kleinpaul2816]

- victor kleinpaul

[JLynnJohnston]

Your English is good enough for me! Thanks for the kind words, friend!

[getitgirlx3]

The original song is one of my favorites in the whole wide world, and you just made it even better. You have an absolutely gorgeous voice. I really liked that you made it your own, but stayed true to the original form. I loved it. Fantastic job. It was beautiful!

--Sarah

[pedgeman]

A very inspiring vocal performance. I have subscribed and look forward to hearing more

[ConflictInTheSky]

Gotta admit - I don't know the original, but this still sounded amazing.

[licob]

Mate what can I say, thanks for posting this. Your vocals are excellent would love to see you live, any plans to play a few gigs :)

[Kenanee]

Wow, that was frigging fantastic. Vocally, you have a superior voice, equivalent to a divine being, truly, its unbelievably soulful. Serene even. I can't believe what I just freaking heard, awesome! The best I've heard, better then the original! That's one hella of a hobby to be doing at work lol

[JLynnJohnston]

Thanks, friend!

[Kenanee]

No sir, thank you for sharing your talent. It was very humbling and inspirational. Really mello, I mean it was just great and I'm honored to tell you so.

[theoneawsomone]

quit the job-

[isabella07]

This cover is amazing. You have a voice that moves me inside. Please, record and post s'more of those late night stairwell concerts.

You should not be installing software for a living...I'm just saying.

[kimdivine]

my dear! this cover is absolutely stunning, just like yourself ~ kd

[inkyblck]

good lord, this is good ... great job ... and I know people who've spent thousands on gear trying to get reverb that good :)

[Dementia21]

One word: awesome.

[eijikumamoto]

hey nice guitar and good job, really!

[Megalomaniac117]

Really, really, really good cover.

Some frickin' hedgehog named Sonic sends his regards.

[splodaddy]

i have this video in my bookmarks toolbar...i like to open it towards the end of a good masturbation session and climax to your soothing voice and rugged good looks. sometimes i sing along between contractions. thank you.

[Megalomaniac117]

This is a very . . . unique comment.

[eizzi]

awesome! i love your soaring vocals... i could hear your heart in it. i felt the emotion as well... :] REALLY good job.

"PLEEASE CLOSE YOUR EYES." love it.

[amuffledscream]

your voice is amazing.

[JLynnJohnston]

Wow, thank you!

[amuffledscream]

you betcha. so is mad at gravity ever going to find a new singer or no?

[JLynnJohnston]

That ship sailed long ago, my friend. They got a singer, recorded some demos, and broke up for good shortly thereafter when things didn't "click." Almost everyone moved into other band projects, which have since fizzled as well. At this point, Bosco and James are recording some really cool stuff on their own at their respective home studios.

[EightFlew0ver]

I randomly stumbled across this vid searching for "Mad at Gravity live". Awesome video man!!!! A+ acoustic song & vocals.

And dude thats a brilliant idea, im gonna start stashing my taylor in my car and bring it in for my overnight work @ the office. The stairwell here is siiiiick so ya I hope it produces a similar quality of acoustics like in this vid

[JLynnJohnston]

Yes! A work guitar is a MUST! Glad you found the vid, friend.

[andrewheine]

this video kicks ass

[RCSuperPowers]

You are the best singer. And you are handsome.

[JLynnJohnston]

Make me fly.

[sbort]

this is toooooooooo good.

you have to record "chase the tension" in this hallway.

then life would be closer to worth the living.

<3

[JLynnJohnston]

I definitely need to do this more. Especially if it means I hear from the illustrious SBort more! =)

[sbort]

oh stop.

i've been in love with you for like, 4 years.

don't tease me NOW...
