Let's just get the hell out of Iraq, I'm not someone who says soldiers aren't heros, I just hate the fact that we're there, and there are families missing members for no reason at all.

    ~David

  • a few pitch problems 1:10 - 1:20

  • Absolutely lovely *****

  • Great story telling (Johnny Cash). Keep listening to your heart. May God be with you always.

  • wow

    (yeah I can't seem to find the right words)

  • You have a beautiful voice and one can hear alot of heart in your music... It's a very sad song... well, seems sad to me... I've heard "it'll be all ok" too many times to know when someone is lieing to keep their loved ones from worrying... Or... that's how it makes me feel at least.. overall, beautifu song. ^^ keep playing.

  • truely heart warming

  • this guy is super talented....im sure he will be OD-ing on heroin at the Viper room and knocking up Jessica Simpson in no time

  • You're a good musician, but I'm sorry to hear you've been brainwashed by religion. I hope one day you find the peace and truth of atheism.

  • Beautiful!

  • The second person tonight to show appreciation for military families. I am very touched by that.

  • That's pretty good

  • Just beautiful!

  • Thank you for your songs for Jesus Christ. Since the fall of Adam, since Cain killed his own brother, man has been slaughtering each other. 1 Billion abortions worldwide in the last 20 years. There is going to be blow back. Unfortunately our new president elect will be using executive orders to allow for embryonic stem cell research and he will put into place new liberties for abortion to take place more and more.

    So many blacks and whites killed by abortion.

    I pray your career goes well+++

  • Cool! :D

  • You rock! your great! your awesome! Have I gotten my point accross? :D

  • god bless you,angel!you are wonderful!

  • nice job, great lyrics

  • very nice

  • =) I really do think this is great =)

  • I like it dude...your a good singer and the guitar playing is real good.

    Thanks for the invite to listen to it :)

  • Omg!! i absolutley Love that song!! great work!! :D:D:D:D:D

  • great tune, good job man. itll be all ok.

  • I would like the song if it didn't include the jesus lyrics - makes it a bit fundy. Good otherwise though!

  • shut the hell up, g'dam people like you always have to interject your fucking bigotry into shit.

  • Are you some kind of muslim?

  • Lovely song. Thanks for sharing.

  • Real talent doesn't need reverb, audio editing.

    Great job, great song.

  • You definatly have a great talent, god bless you and i hope your music gets you places in life.

  • I hope you pray/To God and Jesus every day To keep you safe/And all the kids while I'm away

    Nice idea, but there is no God, and Jesus was a composite character (fiction), not a reality.

    Trusting in God for safety is not as good as trusting in tank armor.

    The safest war is one you don't have to fight because the politicians find a political solution and don't just impose a military one.

  • Being that I have my son serving in the USAF... I appreciate your song and words. God Bless our troops.... I hope you have much success

  • damn this is my one of my favourite videos

  • Yer it's quite good

  • IGNORE THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT CRITICISM.

    I got an invite from you, and trying to hear your music. You're definately talented but I really don't like this song. I don't think it flows well and I think it's boring. the soldier's song has just been done to death and I think it's kind of smaltzy and too naive. It's just too sugary sweet. Sorry not trying to be a bitch ths is just ONE opinion

  • I have to agree, the flow just doesn't fit together like it should with the chords. BUT. The song does show some of the thoughts a soldier probably would feel. He wouldn't have time to draw out forty two lines of poetry on the battlfield just a few things he'd want to say to his kids. Good way to capture the emotion:D

  • Awesome!

  • Great stuff, nice to see someone relying on quiet expression in their voice rather than "Scream because you're angry." Great stuff, 5 stars, especially seeing as this is live and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of equipment at your disposal :D

  • Great song. Full of passion and emotion.

  • This is lovely JC. You do several things well - writing, guitar playing and singing. Thank you for sending it my way.

  • awesome! thanks for posting!

  • This is 3rd comment I'm trying to make I dig this bro!

  • Hey man, i was really blown away, it brought back memories of an early Tracy Chapman, great powerful and sweet voice, nice melodic playing. I subscribed as you seem to be very devoted, keep it up to the dissadvantage of all else a talent like yours should not be put aside for anything. Wish you all the best with your path. Richard

  • Hi, this is fantastic!

  • Nice one, ahh home, sweet home...

  • I'm not Simon Cowell but that seemed really good to me, so well done!

  • Well done!!! Keep up the writing and singing, I think you have a real talent.

  • You have an amazing voice and not very many people can multy task (playing guitar and singing) I find it hard but when you I guess you get use to it it's easy.

    I very much enjoyed.

    -Sam

  • Verrrrry beautiful.

  • This is absolutely beautiful and has me in tears. I have been ill and am now facing a long stay in hospital. Am not sure I will come out... So altho I don't have family in Iraq, the song is speaking to me on a personal level today. Thank you for getting in touch.
