[stilllovingyou911]

incroyable ce type il sort d ou pour faire un truc comme ca c tres jolie bravo

[achievist]

If this song doesn't flutter your heart and give you the chills, you're probably dead, or at best you need to visit a cardiologist to check if you even have one.

[WallDwarf]

[artworks2009]

[metalasfuck123456789]

unreal

[078221157]

i love the trubadur feeling i get from him...? Don't know why. Awesome artist.

[matilba]

Zbii

[Sladeakakevin]

Haunting, but beautiful

[artnmusic909]

I haven't heard a singer with that kind of control in years. Awesome artist.

[MetalMonta]

Awesome singer... absolutely awesome... would love to hear him sing a more varied song, though :D

[lovingmonkay]

[qq57439621]

Beautiful.

[matang1000]

[twin99098538]

niiiiiiiiice

[Domytar]

great voice man

[danocromatic]

wow

[scander1005]

Wohoo. What a voice. Shit.

[foulgetz]

quelle classe ! incroyable ! Ma révélation 2008.

Quel talent, quel panard.

[McKennaYiBass]

Not Bad..His Vioce Kinda Seems Stressed Like One Of Those Ones You Cant Push Out Eh?

[kevjohnson]

yeah i agree, he has an awsome whispery quality to his voice but can be really powerful when he sings louder. i think it definitely adds to the feel of the song during the quieter bits.

just a side note, not every word needs a capital :P

[Kaburorne]

It would be nice if some of them did :)

Namely the start of sentences and the word 'I'.

[wickedundead]

GOD his voice+guitar=sexxxy time

[rugermkiii]

easy to enjoy!! :)

[GrinningLizard]

It's probably been said, but this echoes Buckley so much.

That's far from a bad thing.

Beautiful.

[danimal511]

hell.... thats good

[e3cks]

what can i say .. glorious... the music the lyrics... the talent..

[ukmoore]

reminds me of Sting.....which means i love it

[davidgeraci85]

sounds good but... sorry guys its been done and will never sound better than when its coming out of jeff buckley.

[sparksic]

everythings been done get over it and just enjoy the beautiful music instead of trying to compare it to some dead guy who got hit by a boat while swimming drunk

[GrizzoCracker]

HA!

[somerandomhomeboy]

now that's how to get laid!!!

[Samson25877]

heart and soul poured into a liquid mold and forged^^beauty.

[geetarwanabe]

this sounds like it could be a james bond opening song or something lol

[b1lax]

yeah definatly in love with this song

[Begtodiffermusic]

this song is completly amazing... guitar and vocals and lyrics.. wow...

[grubykamerzysta]

why dont you try lending your voice to some movies?

[NancyL57]

So glad to have found this perfect song - so beaufifully performed. Also love 'Illuminate' and 'Beautiful Parade'.

[JAL173]

I can't praise this enough. Wow!

[dianaroo12]

beautiful!

[BilliHeathMusic]

Excellent, this artist and his song style takes me back to the early sixty folk seine at the Village in New York City. A very haunting melody and chord progression, and he as beautiful voice to carry it home! Melancholy, not a blue's but similar in feeling as a heart felt lament. Gregory Hoskins should be on everybody next CD to get list!

rpoland thanks for sharing.

God Bless you and yours

Billi

[patriotfighter]

this would go good with walking down a new york street after having a heart broken in a movie.

[MadieHx]

i honestly dont think ive heard anything

more beautiful.

[13ryugatake13]

Your voice sounds a bit Jeff Buckley-esque....seriously!

[dooshmasta]

Wow, excellent sound! What mics are you using?

[NightsMuse]

Wonderful! I stumbled upon you tonight and am so glad. That song really speaks volumes.

[rockmetalci]

ananın amını sıkım

[renski202]

hum..

[eclecticbuzzard]

You've got some incredible vocal range, and even more incredible control over your voice. I will look for your albums on candyrat.

[PsychoApeMan]

Brilliant.

[manchdix]

dude very unexpected runs, great timing , very nice job man . I'm gonna listen again !

[arizona80]

great

[jonathansomerville]

I really really enjoyed this Greg. Keep playin' so we can listen in awe ;-)

[papermonks]

oh my what a pleasure to hear that voice singing such lyrics

[omgunvailable]

WOW for voice

[IALAILELIALAI]

So simple, so painfull to listen to...I feel the vibrations of each sound so deep in me and then the next sound follows to cause the next wave of vibrations...I feel so penetrated and helpless: linked with your fingers in a mysterious way. An instrument. So angry that I have to click on it again and again. Your voice makes me want to cry. A way out at least.Nice to see how much music can still move one. So important to see that it is me so much touched from music. Thank you

[WordSoldier]

Really does remind of Jeff Buckley..super talent!

[smellyman7000]

just like jeff buckley. Awesome man

[softchewy]

Makes me miss Jeff Buckley

[Idiot0nline]

You know the blend so much dont you?

[lgirl21]

WOW, GREAT VOICE

[KishoTenshi]

Such a beautiful voice. If only more people appreciated music for the artist based on talent instead of popularity..

[502amandab]

never never

[smirenger]

Is anyone else having problems uploading..Im been trying to upload a new vid sense Saturday..and when it finishes it goes to a blank web page as if my internet has gone out. let me know!

[spinks31]

Very haunting - loved the guitar work and the raw voice. Excellent

[colormeviolet]

Great voice, wow!

[AnnexF]

Strange song just like mine. Check it out!

[ausdude31]

Nice song mate. as for Robert Plant, i dun fink so, he was more a screamer. Listen closely then listen to some Police or earlier Sting (just after Police split). Very similar vocal style.

[jonathanouellette]

ummmm that was kinda weird

[ccendana]

this was amazing.  ahhhh, i love it!

[BeechSundowner]

Good video!

[CE818]

are you lip singing to a chicks voice? why are singing like a women?

[xodusxteen]

Its call a falsetto.

[ToxicSaturdayNights]

its also called lip syncing

[jpkeadgbe]

its also called yet another person trying to sound like robert plant

[Melourn]

I got tinglies from listening to this song. Reminded me of a love song I saw in a movie wen the couple was in a 1962 Corvette Convertible out on Route 66. I have to say - that was, for all intents and purposes- beautiful!

[TheEphemeral]

I was hoping this would get featured! Such a beautiful song! Everyone on CandyRat is an exceptional musician.

[dannyknapp]

you're a really good singer. the song wasn't really my cup of tea. but the audio quality was awesome !

[itsbonbonxp]

love the singing and the guitar playing. the vid was full of emotion and  at first, i was like hmm.but then later as it got to the middle, i was like.damn! this is good!

brilliant:)

[drummingguitarist06]

I'm not sure about the sudden style switch, and the intro was just boring...but I enjoyed listening to it.

About the Bond movie, screw the intro soundtrack, it could be the NAME of a movie! And that it's theme song. I can just see it now. :)

4/5 from me. Great work, enjoy all of Candyrat's artists.

[JackalX]

This cud be a good intro sountrack for a new James Bond film...

[jackn93]

Hah :) I thought that too, very good as Bond comes up from the beach into the bar where he meets the bond-girl :D

[madseadog]

nice! the intro kinda sucked, i was half tempted to go away,but it turned out to be quite good!

[xtoolsaviorx6]

Very cool and interesting. Keep up the good work. lol :)

[joelhanns]

jeff buckley!

[illnoise]

that's who I thought of too.

[skywind1987]

Perfectly sad... melancolic... then hot-tempered... purely noir.

[rickreynolds1986]

i like the song but for you to work on it for a few years to perfect it the last lines are just repeated?

im not saying its a a shit song i really like it!

[illnoise]

He said the bridge was what gave him problems.

[fabbola]

People sure do get upset when you disagree. Bottom line...this song really isn't very good. Check out some of Gregory's other songs. Much better than this one. I don't know why this one was featured.

[mnaoss]

Bottom line is actually the fact that your opinion isn't everyone else's. It's ok that you think this one isn't good, but to some people (myself included) this song is amazing. Let others have their opinions.

[fabbola]

MNAOSS.  I never said my opinion is everyone else's. I merely stated how I felt about this song and the presentation. It was in fact constructive critisism. I like Mr. Hoskins just not this song. I UNDERSTAND that my opinion isn't EVERYONE'S but your comment makes me think that you don't want anyone to even HAVE an opinion unless it's a positive one.

[AzNxPsycho]

i agree with fabbola. All opinions should be open.

[markoosmouse]

well done mate, I have to say that this kind of music unfortunately has few avid listeners but as one of those listeners I can honestly say that for it's genre, this is a masterpiece.

[Fredricoillos]

Awesome voice!

Y AREN'T YOU DISCOVERED?? xD

[thenickanator]

its weird how this gets so many good comments and ratings and view on youtube when it probably wouldn't even stand a chance of topping a chart when shit like britney spears does........i can only surmise that youtube is FAR more intelligent than the rest of the world hahaha

[guitarman1231234]

yet another CandyRat feature... very talented lable!!!!

[hoylakehopper]

how about no

[Brainfear19]

Pwnt.

[shadowbelfnerd]

[Serrie1976]

[tisaacso3625]

[DanielaVideoProducti]

[xXDropCXx]

good voice, but that guitar is boring as heck.

[aliencrap]

This is inspiring. I think it takes music to all new levels. I enjoyed it immensely.

[italianostanco]

Forgiveme... I'm a criminal! ;o(

[XXXmadafakaXXX]

I would like to hear moro from you. Congra.

Leo/PERU

[drthed]

Interesting! Keep on writing and playing.

Also check this:

"Strange things happen when you love" by the Handsome Brothers.

[sargentpepperoni]

Your song is really bad. Believe me. It sounds like one of those bad American Idol Auditions.

[ShitSmear69]

you have a very closed mind

[anycolouryouwant]

sgntpepperoni, why dont you sing and play us something you wrote? we can be the judge of who has more talent

[mooney1862]

you have no taste.

it might not be what you like,

but that doesn't make it bad.

[chaz2wells]

Lovely song....very unusual and haunting....i could almost hear Billie Holiday in there....nice work.

[lionhear11]

NMJIHUY

[nyambizi]

Sounds like something out of Alladin...awesome

[fabbola]

Greg, I've listened to your other songs and I think they are really, really good. EXTREMELY GOOD, IN FACT. This is in no way a put down. But this song doesn't work. Tone down your vocal approach and make the delivery more straight forward. Allow the song to come forward more.

[NationedRyan]

Great!!

[mikinamemiki]

very nice ı like you

[f4172ph]

pretty good

[liamisfun]

Good voice. very similar to the late jeff buckley. Just thought in comparison your song did not have the drive and direction of a buckley song. Not that you should be compared to him anyway. You are a different artist, great song great voice.

[rpoland]

umm, we did not pay YouTube to feature this video...

[comoseaombe]

good for you?...i guess

[fabbola]

Good voice. Don't realy like the song though or the exagerated vocal approach. The song, to me, actually gets lost in all that vocal acrobatics. Just my opinion.

[Zimologist]

Man you have talent.

[yellowbeanmachine]

Ace...great voice!  Look forward to seeing more.

[chriscws]

Your awsome!!! Your voice is intoxicating. I could listen to that for hours please make more your so good. I really mean it. Best ever!!!

[Poetivity]

Beautiful. I'd love to write a Broadway show for this.

[ElWopo420]

Yeah.....that was cool man.

[beepand]

thanks alot amazing!

[shortneckduck]

hi hi hi hi hi hi

[Anotherartist]

Your voice sounds like Devendra Banharts hehe

[mushfaker22]

absolutely amazing.You have a very special voice that can portray sensitive emotions Besides having such amazing voice/breath control you are accompanying yourself via. guitar.You are really talented. Thanks for sharing.

[breakingthehabit2008]

I love you!

[yauhun]

Me too

[yauhun]

Me too

[shortneckduck]

hi hi hi hi

[Mmmyess]

A bit Jeff Buckley-esque. Good work!

[Peckinpahh]

and a fingerspoon of radiohead in the End.

[Milanovic10]

nice nice

[Jacqueline92]

wow

Amazingggg

5/5 =]

[rwebiscool]

consistently flat...but a well-written song nonetheless. props =)

[Dglsell]

I listened to the song and did not hear him go flat consistently at all. I have a good ear for this and its possibly the style of music he is singing here that makes you think he is flat. The rising notes actually make the song have the sound he was apparently looking for. Well done!

[MrEARSking]

powerful lyrics and voice,wonderfully relaxing

[videobenji]

awesome! you could do EPIC versions of orbison songs with that voice

[ggullet]

check out "Obama Reach"

energy in search of source to achieve reaction

[xtekian]

A very oddly timed piece, but the melody is beautiful, great job. I chuckled at some of your facial expressions though!

[OFFICIALH0B0]

Speechless

[songtruth]

nice.  reminds me of jeff buckley.

[theraccoun]

touche. That's exactly what I was thinking. Love Jeff Buckley

[larry2086]

Very good.

[wolfpack1980]

Definitely an awesome song! Love your voice too, you really know how to use your vibrato well. Some really weird chords in there, but they sound great.

[mnaoss]

This is amazing. Seriously. I've come back a few times tonight just to listen to this.

Kudos man, amazing stuff
