[Redemption305]

[HereToFav]

Been a while Since Ive listened to this. Glad I did.

[Snephrew]

Fig tree...? Buddhism Much? =)

It wouldn't take long after getting a women to shake it up in the fig tree in order for them to understand.

[shoopshoopy]

Damn, I just never want this song to end. Brett, sing it baby. Such an inspiration.

[RDUB7162]

A TRUE ORIGINAL

[megybee2012]

ill sit in the shade of a fig tree with you and your guitar any day!

[mynameislorenz]

If you like this , you gonna like Sela Sue to !

[sins7x]

Hands down the best live solo performer EVAR!!

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

I had only heard this guy before the last few minutes. I expected him to have dreadies and a moustache or something lol. He's so cool.

[cpanetta87]

mouth horn = epic.

[JaniceEmelia]

i am in love with this man.

[2000Maedchen]

welcome to the club :)

[JaniceEmelia]

oh.. i have been in the club for quite a while now. ahahah. i actually got to meet him in oakland on NYE. such a wonderful human being.

[JaniceEmelia]

@stothepizzle my friend and i waited outside the gate before the show (like 1pm) and then we started to walk around the theater to see if there were any other entrances.. and as we were walking we saw him driving the opposite direction, so we ran after the car! haha. he pulled into the gate, we started singing 'mosaic,' and then he talked to us for a while. pretty cool. i met him in sf at the fillmore in february too.

[JaniceEmelia]

@stothepizzle aahh, so you are friends with him? man oh man. i would do anything to be his friend! haha. he is such a magnificent human being. trust me, I HAVE been spreading the word like crazy. People who have never heard of him are now crazy for him because of me and my friend. I really think he can change lives, I know he changed mine.

[Ninasparks]

@JaniceEmelia SO am I... I'm fight you for him haha :o)

[bedlaminbelgiumroxzz]

He has a god giving talent. He is amazing. He should do some heavier stuff and rock out!

[alexou33]

what a vibe, make me inside of him

[lovelikethispicture]

i like the picture at the back

[rockabye63]

He spends much of his time helping others, supporting kids to find good goals in life. Plays his music enjoying no stress. Eats healthy. Lives like a kid. Guess that sort of life keeps him looking young. Really enjoy his music.

[shandy068]

Ok, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but could someone please tell me how old this guy is. Everything I've read tells me he's like 30 or something, but everything about him just doesn't convince me. Again, I'm not being an ass here, I'm actually asking.

[2000Maedchen]

In this video he must have been in his late 20s. He turned 30 recently. But I agree- he doesn't look/sound/act like it at all ^^

[menzoberranzan75]

It just goes to show that there is just sooo much talent out there and your recognition comes from "who" you know rather than your god given talent...

[menzoberranzan75]

Clever little sausage,beyond his years isn't he!!

[shreklookalike]

Would you believe he's 30 years old!?!

[MichaelBlue72]

A-MA-ZING!

[TheJuliusJT]

he have really grown over the years, hehe. in more than one way (:D) jk. great musician

[iggysoccer20]

Dude is so skinny now! Just saw him on the 25th.

[mbalrog6]

Fig Leaves are used in Western Statues and Paintings to cover the indecent portion of the body. It is my guess that the Shade of the Fig would be the anatomy hidden beneath. This song is about sex and romance of the woman he wants. The end suggests that he was with the wrong woman for a while. This is my theory.

[DinoBiteinWhite]

that's a really great explanation. Thanks

[DinoBiteinWhite]

can someone explain me the meaning to his lyrics.. love it so much

[wonderwendy1968]

White boy has soul!

[thawhiteazn]

Brett Dennen, your voice is that of an angel

[Orsino89]

Ah, Graham Nash signature Martin. Nice.

[rioux007]

tellement de talent dans un seul homme =)(L)

[mitchstephan]

treacytime he does not pick with his ring

[stothepizzle]

He does. Positive.

[GHawthorne07]

yo yo yo rap is crap wat is the hap trapped with no cigar

ol

[Zaffron84SE]

so incredibly talented, hes really a pioneer in my opinion :D made so many of my days off work better, a cup o coffee, sunshine and brett dennen

[Treacytime]

does he fingerpick with just the thumb, index, and middle fingers or does he use the ring finger aswell? I got a book on fingerpicking and I want to fingerpick his songs, but I want to make sure its the right style.

[blink2wice79]

He just uses his thumb to mute that string on his left hand. Picking hand you use your thumb, middle, ring, and pinky. Its actually called the PIMA technique. I know Im a dork..lol

[ryanmongermusic]

For those who want the tab, here is the simple answer:

Verse is: Em7, D, G, G, D, Em7, Em7, D, B, C, G, D, G

Chorus is: Em7, G, Em7, G, D, G

[udigabbai]

and the more elaborate answer??

[ryanmongermusic]

Well - He plays those chords, but just with a bit of fingerpicking - if you know those chords and watch the video you should be able to figure it out...

[udigabbai]

i love you

[yinyowhite]

i just love it. he has a unique voice and way to sing. that its just perfect for his music..

[22marzo1991]

[treeclimberdave]

[hlfbprincess]

[amypearce7]

This song is SO good. It gets better every time.

Thank you iTunes Australia, I'm in love with this guys music!!

[NewWhit2]

He's amazing. I first encountered him last summer when some friends and i saw john. we won front row tickets and i fell for brett. he's so inspiring and he's my number one favored artist. keep it up brett! see you july 5th.

[KriyaArts]

Wow, I am just endlessly impressed by Brett Dennen... so humble, so talented, so insightful. Great talent and a great soul.

[katdunn37]

brett omg you look exactly like my cousin when he was younger!

[danicjd]

Brett, I have your three CDs and have seen you in concert three times. I absolutely love your music and your message. You have become one of my very favorite artists. Thanks for being a fresh alternative to some of the more mainstream sell-outs. I look forward to hearing more from you in the future. Peace!

[summermari]

I could not agree with you more!! I have all 3 of his cd's plus his Mosaic Project cd also and have also seen him in concert 3 times. Maybe we have been to the same shows. He is such an awesome artist! I love his postitive messages and vibe!

[danicjd]

I have seen him at Higher Ground in Burlington, VT twice. I also saw him open for John Mayer in Saratoga Springs, NY. I have his two CDs along with the Mosaic Project. Is there another CD that I don't know about?

[summermari]

There is one called So Much More Live. It has only 4 songs and they are the same ones from So Much More just performed live so they sound a bit different. I just love his music and had to buy it out of curiousity.

[nadiladi]

Cld you tell me the name of all three CDs, and possibly where i might be able to find them (like itunes or amazon VS target or borders or something) ??

[vermonter1958]

When did you see him at higher ground? i saw him when ALO opened for him and i also saw him at UVM.

[FyceDesigns]

Brett, this is a great song. I love your "trumpet" part. You're great.

[jalimah819]

Brett your voice is a gift from heaven and you use your gift to write songs that are so moving, honest and relevant. I have bought all of your music from itunes and I look forward to your future songs.

[stothepizzle]

That's my boy right there!!!

[umz360]

Brett is a treasure.
