I can picture this song with harmonies and added instruments,it would be like a Beach Boys classic from the late 60's. Beautiful songwriting my buddy Justin. I loved it! The lyrics especially are very well thought out and put together. :)) Nice and simple version here with just acoustic is always nice but this one would sound better fully dressed with harmonies and all! It's a great song! Nice soft singing on it too! You rock my bro! All the many stars! :))

Very nice Justin, I enjoyed this a lot. It was so relaxing to watch and listen to. You're songwriting and guitar playing is really starting to blossom into something beautiful and I'm delighted to be able to witness this. A special thanks to jimmymac for sharing this gem with us. Wishing you all the best!!! Mark
The harmony of Your voice with the Great sound of the guitar was BEAUTIFUL!!! I really enjoyed listening to this. *****+ (Thanks to jimmymac for this GREAT share)....... Allen
ah i love a tuned down guitar! think i prefer this version. it's a brilliant song. would be brilliant in any tuning to be fair. maybe you should try a couple octaves higher, that'd be fun :D
This is clearly one of your best, not only is the melody truly beautiful but that introduction was so perfect, I am envious of your songwriting ability my friend!
I got caught up in the whole feel and mood you are creating here. almost like a dream. and between your strumming and singing I was hypnotized. this is one of those songs that you don't have to really know what it's about lyrically, and it still works. Very Lennonesque (is that a word?) lyrics too I might add.
i think that this version of the song is more complete, and i love that you dropped the guitar down. I think it puts much more emotion in the song than if it were sung in a higher octave. The lyrics are also incredible. keep em comin man! great song.
First question, whats with the stupid grin at the beginning of the vid? And thanks for the cred for the simple suggestion. Feels like I have a little power now. You will record this song sitting on a couch wearing a blue shirt, and...
err...
All seriousness aside, that was perfect.
(and then I literally fell asleep to the tune at the computer, and didn't hit Post)
Thanks for this Justin :-D What a wonderful surprise...This song is sublime, as is your skill...Definitely love the way you expressed yourself in this version...Lulling and soothing...Amazing that you have made it even better than before...
Justin, you are a serious artist who deserves an audience and recognition far wider han the narrow furrows plowed into these YT fields. Jimmy
(five stars, of course, just so you know, but ultimately the number of stars is unimportant, the remarkable memorability of the composition is paramount and I'm not gonna forget this one.)
Adell is certainly an Angel. You really tossed a lot of emotion into those words. I have to admit I like this version the best. Some lessons for me to learn here on the controlled quiet tones you used. Beautifully done my friend! ~ Raz

Hmm, I've listened to both versions now. This one sounds like it's in a more comfortable vocal range for you. Sounds better, in my ears.
