[ravenwolfgang1969]

i wonder if i could broadcast this live? beautiful!

[ANDYGLOV3R]

Stewart, thanks for submitting this to the "i will play your songs" project!! :)

[stewze]

@ANDYGLOV3R And thank you for such a cool idea :)

[grinke49]

wow, love this song :))

[billtvshow]

Zoom H4, smart buy.  No wonder it sounds so good.

[stewze]

@billtvshow It's a pretty handy little device :)

[ANDYGLOV3R]

Stew, I must have missed this one, beautiful work as usual! You're so talented, man. I love how your songs build so gradually. You have a good ear for dynamics.

What kind of microphone is that??

[stewze]

@ANDYGLOV3R Thanks so much Andy :) It's just a Zoom H4 portable condenser microphone. Does the job I guess, haha.

[ANDYGLOV3R]

@stewze Wow, that is a pretty sweet gadget!

[robby63]

Wow, this is excellent, Stew. I have noticed that you hold onto your notes much more. I love that! It gives you an even better sound. Such a pretty melody too and these are wonderful lyrics by Angela.

faved

[brotherjon100]

What is in front of you? A microphone and what else? It's nice.

[stewze]

@brotherjon100 That is a Zoom H4 portable condenser microphone. And it's on a tripod :)

[ginmillsinger]

God bless, friend's!

Bill

[stewze]

@ginmillsinger Thanks Bill! Hope you're doing well :)

[rhopen]

This is just an awesome song and performance Stew. I think this is one of the very collabs you and Angela have created for song and music. Great. Merry Christmas Stew. -Ron

[stewze]

@rhopen Thank you so much, Ron. Nice hearing from you, hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

[micknash]

Wow, this is a beautiful, well written, composed, and performed song. It does what a song should do, take the listener to another place.

[stewze]

@micknash Thank you so much micknash!

[stufish4040]

Yep, this floats my boat. Reminds me of Steven Stills. The same floating, atmospheric, dreamy quality. Brilliant guitar riff and lyrics. You play the guitar with such precision and your vocal has a wonderful purity, especially when you go for those long, high notes. Spot on, every time. The guitar sounds perfectly in tune too, which is essential to make that riff work. Nice one, you twos. I approve of the tea reference . Joni Mitchell uses similar idea with, "I could drink a crate of you"

[stewze]

@stufish4040 Thank you very much Stu :) Never heard of Steven Stills or Joni Mitchell. More people to potentially look up...maybe. hehe.

[tidemover]

good job

[PHvlogger]

Preston like.

[stewze]

@PHvlogger Stew thank.

[billtvmacon]

Stew, you are amazing. Tell Angela the lyrics are wonderful, wrapped and presented by your incredible music and vocal talent. Well done, my friend!

[stewze]

@billtvmacon Thank you very much Bill! It's wonderful to hear from you.

Stew-- Sooo beautiful. I picture animation-- with Chinese-styled clouds.

Welcome back-- try not to be away so long...

[stewze]

@cmnkngl I think you're right, an animation would be lovely! I keep telling myself after I post a video that I'll start doing them more often. But it never happens. That's why I opened that second channel, so I could post more simplified, easier to make videos. But now I'm rarely posting on there as well, haha.

[chaz23j]

Great Stew!!!! :)

[stewze]

@chaz23j Thanks Chaz

[KT1419]

Well done, Stewze! I get a lovely mental image while listening to this song; it truly takes the listener away. It's good to hear another song from you. Tell Angela she did a great job too! Merry Christmas, and God bless you!

[stewze]

@KT1419 Thank you very much, I'll definitely let Angela know. Hope you had a good Christmas! :)

[DelaneWazHere]

@DelaneWazHere Delane! Nice to hear from you :) Glad you enjoyed the video.

[JulianHertz]

[stewze]

@JulianHertz Yay! I love the fleet foxes!

[stewze]

@stewze Ummm, Angela commented that on my account by accident. But I also love the Fleet Foxes! :) Glad you enjoyed it! :D
