jay brannan - a farewell from australia

[CarrilloDM]

Ah the touring life as a singer/songwriter. Been doing that now for over 20 years it is a bittersweet life.

[leonardpatz]

That was so deep.

[julzabro]

"Think of the most important, eye opening, world changing, funny, smart, clever, intelligent, most brilliant, most amazing, soul crushing thing you've ever heard in your entire life..............and pretend like I just said it"

THAT was ALL of those things...you r the sweetest, romantic!!! I hope u never stop being touched by the love of your fans no matter how many years of stardom you endure! Much Love!!!

[86juanita]

to gg,,,

[xCourtneyannx]

Okay, this made me cry. >.>

You're really inspiring and you just give that little push to go further, in life. Thank you.

[albatrossghost]

I do wish you'd sing "The Origin of Love" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I think you'd do John Cameron Mitchell due justice... but who am I to tell you what to do?

[Willothemask]

"IT's just us. Alone. In the emptiness of space. There is no society, there are no morals. It's just us and our decisions."

Most soul crushing thing I ever heard.

[stinkyplan]

that was FABULOUS!

[brian42901]

Jay ,

I hope to say this someday ,

" I love you for who you are and how you changed me from me to we"

Bry

[Friggineh07]

That was amazingly endearing, I like you , I like you a lot

[etnit]

Even though you're a stranger to me, this really touched me.

Thank you.

If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.

[princessprojector]

can you get anymore beautiful ? Jay I didn't get that the first time . then second i got all weepy thank you Jay. Mine is "i love / care about you from a person i love/care about. but soul crushing? wound be yo find out you hace a boyfreind! :) hope you enjoyed aus. i live here and i think it is pretty close to heaven, weather culture. flora n fauna completely unique, and a relaxed attitude. And we aren't really a homophobic nation, by the way christmas really sucked this year; b safe

[vojti8]

wish you a great Xmas Jay! (: ...thinking on you :)

[deliriousjoey]

I can't believe I only just found out you were in Sydney recently! So many sads = (. Pleasepleaseplease come back soon, for an under 18s included show if possible, or I can just get a fakey :P.

But seriously, love your music<3

[LeylandWheeler]

lame...

[TheDutchGuy2]

I lol'd

:P

[Shayachern726]

Blueberry pancakes and warm boxer-briefs. My soul is compete.

[MGDANCEMG]

Was just in Brisbane, Newcastle and Sydney. Where were you?

[dcdave861]

Is that your new tour bus you are broadcasting from? And btw I wore the "i wanna be a hosewife T to a party and most everyone knew who you are. You look like you are going to cry at the end of this video then the little youtube swirly thing covers your right eye at the corner and it looks like a tear. Love your music and keep it up. Enjoy your Holiday!

[ristin59]

Thank you, I love you too...

[BUweB]

Thank You Jay for all the great Music.

[keltrigger]

Come to South Florida, Jay.

[jsheas53]

you are marvelous.

[krankifish1]

You came all the way down and you didn't make it over to New Zealand. Boo :(

[YellowElephant1]

I know!! Very disappointed :'(

[rickT5555]

Shine on, Jay.

[twiggy647]

Truthfully, the most important, eye-opening, world changing, funny, smart, clever, intelligent, most brilliant, most amazing, soul crushing thing I've ever heard in my entire life was sung by you:

On All Fours is an amazing song-like a smack in the face saying "hello, look around you at this world." I tried to type out my favorite lyrics from the song but I went over the damn character count...

So yes, thankyou Jay Brannan.

[eric512140]

"No day but today."

[cbrombosz]

bahahahaha reason #42837983 why i love you

[donejustright]

dreams are born of imagination, fed upon by illusion, and put to death by reality...

[andreybmw]

" oh so you never been in love!" i was told this and i was in bed for 2 days.

[treviott]

"I dont need to know, I know!" thanks jay for the tunes :)

[adamlepker]

ur such a douche, thats why i love you

[chezjanou]

OMG...You're so hilarious...Your show in LA @ the ROXY was so amazing!

[DoubleDareLike]

You are the most amazing performer - the most amazing person I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I have had the immense pleasure of seeing your concerts 3 times in 2009 in 3 different countries and each was awesome. The 2nd most amazing thing for me to hear from you would be for you to call me friend and my most soul crushing would be for you to say good bye. <3 u 4 ever

[Sophtine]

<3 Thank you very much

[acrosswalkmassacre]

"When you came into the world you wept and cried, and when you leave the world will cry and weep for you"

[Flanole]

You lift up others and now it is being sent back to you. Embrace it.

[emotionsmusic]

you did...without knowing. that's when and why I wrote "Save Me" probably online as a video response as soon as you release it. thank you!

[Rcknus]

I imagine making a Tour must be very

exciting but also emotionally tired, and when you get to Hotel by night so far

away from friends or family, it gets a strange lonely feeling.....keep on Jay!

[puppykidd]

My love for you will never die - thank you so much for everything! xoxo

[lydz25]

You told me Daleks are real

[abercromboict]

I imagine you singing this song from the FRAY But in the end everyone ends up alone Losing her, the only one who's ever known Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna to be And you never left me no messages You never sent me no letters You got some kind of nerve taking all I want. Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late, you found me, you found me. Why'd you have to wait, to find me, to find me?

[chuckals]

we must be sharing a brain...when I couldn't come up with a halloween costume this yr, i told everyone I was a 23 yr. old, 98 lb. black girl.....dressed as a 55 yr old 165 lb white guy,.......it was an AMAZING costume! ;-)

[imsuprised]

I'm guessing that maybe you had something soul crushing happen to you, so I thought you needed a pick me up, and that's why I posted the Jill Bolte Taylor story. I think everyone should check it out.

[mskrisnguyen]

aww heehee In my head you said I was the most special asian chick you ever met and i'm the most awesome person in the world and you bowed at my feet to kiss them... lol jk :P

[funnsexy2004]

lol, i love your sense of humor! by the way, in my head, you just said: supercalifragilisticexpialidoc­ious.

[imsuprised]

Jay, nothing has changed my life more than Jill Bolte Taylor. Look her up on youtube under her name, TedTalks, and a stroke of insight. She was studying at the Harvard department of Psychiatry as a trained neuroanatomist(she study's the brain); when at age 37, had a stroke. After 8 years of recovery, Jill had a story to tell.

[rickT5555]

I think you just told me, once again, that you sang "Denmark" specially for me.

And that means everything to me !

[ShinnyThePooh]

lay of the drugs and make songs again -.-

[Anomaly1618]

I think my heart just melted.

[dafien]

unsubscribing

[jesshawthorn]

love you xxxx xxxx xxxx

[reznor69001]

soul crushing??? .....huh???

[sxckuku]

You made my day.

I love you.

Like I seriously love you.

[SimplicityKane]

I think that you just made my day

[swmyers7]

You deserve a nice break after a tour like that. It's awesome but also exhausting. Hopefully, it's also given you plenty of inspiration for new material (for which I cannot wait!). Try not to be too weary and thanks for giving *me* something to think about today. --Scot

[n3llyphant]

you are amazing, jay. <3

[BallroomDavid]

wow..so you finally decided to move in with me!

[highschoolboy1113]

Soul Crushing??? I like you and think you're a good artist... A tad bit strange, but still great.

[ChannelRichard]

You are amazing, Jay Brannan.

[wcbgn]

for god sakes man, put a shirt on

[optimaloptimusprimus]

kinda tired right now, just got off work. But why did this video make me feel so sad after watching it ? Jay keep hope alive no matter the odds. - Travis

[DeweyTeeVee]

Life is sometimes too beautiful to handle emotionally. I sense that you "get" that.

My best to you as you move forward, Jay.

Dewey :)

[hnca8]

WOW your just so Amazing

[UncleBym]

Jay! I expect that 2010 will see us looking at each other over your amazing talent and our burning need to be close to beauty...Words fail but our hearts are together!

*grin* Tell us that you will be with us for the New Year to lighten the Load that Life can bring and I'll promise you that I'll be right there to share in the burden! Be Well! You are loved! *grin*

[Daviesgravey]

Congrats on making it around the whole world for your tour! w00t!!! Can't wait to see what 2010 brings for ya!

[microphon3]

[stufish4040]

K, . .will-do =]

Btw, were you filming in a camper-van . .or just a cheap hotel ? Oh-wells, soon be home. Happy Happies to you :0)

[Daengst]

As charming as ever, Jay. :)

[ethanpschwartz]

WHY DID YOU TELL ME SANTA ISN'T REAL.

[rg0057]

Hmm. I think I'm going to need some extra time. Can you post another video of suitable length, and perhaps a wider field of view?

[RudeBwoi3000]

I forgot about you on Youtube for some reason. I don't know why.

But I was very happy to see you.

I loved seeing you live here in Minneapolis despite the crazy drunk who licked my face, and kept getting in my way. Can't wait for your next performance.

[EricKNSeattle]

Your Soul Just Sparkeled.

[simonismyhero]
