You're exactly what I dream of being musically. I'm in the process of trying to write my own music and failing and what you're doing in this video is exactly what I wish I could be. Conor has definitely rubbed off on you, and I hope one day he'll inspire my music as well :(
I only saw two of your Bright Eyes covers so, I probably can't make a a real comparison but, from what I've seen, this is SO much better than those. And, I liked those. I really do think that you deserve some kind of recording contract because you're not only really good at singing, but you're a great songwriter as well. I like how artsy this video is too. It actually reminds me of some of my bf's photography and I think it helps to get your point across even better.
i want to kidnap you and keep you in my room with my boyfriend and make u play with me all day and write songs and cuddle always. i'm in love with you.
Please get big or record more, because I only listen to Dan Johnston and Bright Eyes pretty much and somehow your songs are like, I want to listen to you now too. Like, special. Beautiful even. I really love this do you have any records or anything? I'd go buy one if you did.
@the1995calendar Wow! i can't really get my head around that.. I don't really have any records as such, I mean you can go over to my stateofblue.bancamp and there's a bunch of my recordings there. Thank you so much!
@Lifeisamazing I can hear the Bright Eyesesque sound in the last chorus.... don't get me wrong doll, you sound nothing like Bright Eyes... but towards the end you get more powerful, you have that "I'm on the edge of a broken heart" kind of sound. Strong yet, quivering voice. It's breath taking. Truly.... you tugged my heartstrings. Good job boy, that's a hard thing to do these days.
This is absolutely amazing. I don't understand how people can link you to Bright eyes through this? But anyways Lyrically you have a gift and its incredible :)
You sound exactly like Bright Eyes. Exactly. Find your own voice and you'll be tons more interesting. Your writing isn't bad and the emotion is there but its hard to feel it completely when you are covering up your own unique heart by trying so hard to sound like somebody else. Good luck, you have potential to be great.
@godzillawren I really don't get it. He sounds nothing like Bright Eyes. He sounds like himself and that's awesome. He has a really unique voice and his lyrics are very different from Bright Eyes.
This song is awesome and you can deffinatly feel the emotion he's giving off. In fact, it's kind of hard not to. He has more than potential to be great. He is great now. It's hard to find music this original these days so kudos to him.
@Lifeisamazing Really? You're so good, man. I downloaded all of your originals on bandcamp and now you're on my Most-Played list. Not telling you what to do or anything, but it'd be awesome to hear you live and more songs online. Do you have any gigs coming up?
hey, this is really really great. I almost feel like at the end when your screaming you should put in a double of yourself just screaming "something pure" in empty spaces along with your initial vocal. It's just what i hear when i listen to it.
I'd really like to download this, it's incredible.

Rediscovering this one and my god dude... Completely jealous. You blow me away. Sea & State still a possibility? ;)

You might be as great at Conor...and that's tough to do. Your screaming reminds me of Conor's screaming in If Winter Ends.

I think you should scream less; make people wait for the screaming parts, it'll mean more.
