[spacedmoose]

I have listened to this song regularly over the last 3 years and I still love it. Thanks : )

[RAFTWETJewell]

i am a fan.

[AwesomeHisham]

wonderfull piece, awesome!

[directorscutz]

Doesnt it just make you feel nice people?

[TheBathroomGirl]

u da man Kris.. if i wasn't on the verge of cancelling my phoneline through super brokeness, your album is the first I'd buy! xx

[tclaes92]

kris rowley is innovative and interesting. Rolwey plays and sings with more depth and heart than I have heard in quite a long time.

Let Rowley know that you agree and buy his songs on cdbaby.

[VilleCoeur]

Very original and ingenious!

[JordanSchooter]

perfect. can't say much more than that.

[VilleCoeur]

Agreed.

[DosntMatter666]

A new-aged perfectionist. Bring music back son; the sound you play is fading away too.

[sarahalisonstargirl]

<3 its beautiful.

[wishywashyweirdo]

dudeeeeeeee!!! your songs are awesomeeeeeeee!!!

[peacetrainwreck]

Great song!  Great sound. Just subbed.

[Funkychunkymonkey33]

man you could have no better time for a break out than the present! its absolutely imperative to just push your knew release everywhere...with people like ben harper and jack johnson experiencing just unheard of amounts of popularity, the timing is perfect for your success...in fact im going to start a facebook group about you...word to your moms...im sorry i mean word to your mums...peace, and keep up the unbelievable song writing

[LilyGipsy]

Beautiful!

[howdoicomeout]

that would be amazing

[haaboo2000]

=)

[djblashter]

this is the best love song i´ve ever heard

[buhler32]

DUDE!!!!!!!!!! This song is amazing!!!!

I used to think just another love song was the best on yet, but I stumbled across this this morning!!

and having the lyrics along the side is cool, cause then I can sing along :D lol

peace man

[Bullshitmonkey]

Amazing song, can't get enough of it. I'd buy an album even if it was this song over and over. Good work dude.

[wintersnot]

"maybe with this song we could call it even :-P"

we're even, not to worry..:)

It's enough for me to come by(often)and enjoy your music, mate.

I'm a fan, and I don't fan, but your music has moved me to write more.

so I thank you for that!

[wintersnot]

"That the path I walk and the words I talk are for nought"

profound

I woke up this morning wanting to hear,

The Ballad, of Ex...

Your music inspires, the spirit of our own music, because it feels pure and untainted by greed, like a good apprentice who intuitively knows, art is for art sake.

Resonating stuff, man.

Thank you

[Shuannaleasunshine]

This song is Killer! I love it!!! :) I definatly want a copy of your first album!!

[ricekenn]

Everything he does is top shelf.

[Shuannaleasunshine]

Well, Duuuuhhhhh! LOL ;)

[dleeoriginals]

great music and arrangement

[giel88]

Wow, this sounds great. Just one question though! How do you record, how do you start etc. each time I record the piano and guitar don't line up.. :(

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

You got enought music to keep me jamming for a long time ,you got subbed.

[safari2010]

Wow! man.. that was great! Im starting to write music too! taht was an awesome job!

[chipster96]

like omg man thats awesome!!!!!! YAY u live in the UK! lots of the talented people on here live in the USA! lol......

dude thats brill!

xxx

[sam8love]

encore! encore! amazing job man!

[Snuilp]

Simply astaunding. These lines and chords keep amazing me. Such a great voice and singing. I Like all of your videoclips.

You are sincerely one of the best musicians/singasongwriters I heard of, through ages! Please keep on playing! :D

[sanitystringer]

Great great writing, man! I love your sound and musicality! Thanks for gracing my eardrums, dude!

[NerdyGirl92]

Every one of your songs is a musical awakening, a musical rebirth that makes me discover more about myself. I hope that you get some sort of record label because we need more of this music in our lives

[tincan3d]

Zzzzap, This song brings me back years even though I've never heard it before. I pray your music becomes well known and others follow in this style. It's a bit 70s like Cat Stevens or Jim Croce. I guess folk music is what it could be called but with an alternative twist. So much crud in mainstream. Stay lowkey and come to San Francisco so maybe My wife and I can come see you perform. Thanks!

[smoothrider41]

Do you have a CD or anything?

a way to download anything?

becuase your absolutely amazing.

[mcgregony]

kick ass!

keep it up!!

[samisongs]

Another awesome tune! You may be the most talented songwriter on Youtube, especially unsigned. I may have to start a record label so I can sign you. You will be a star one day, just keep going and don't get pulled down by all the bullshit. ; )

[wintersnot]

Great control, mate!

Still diggin" ya!

[jermzman]

I just listened to this 4 times in a row w/o thinking about it! dude this song, as well as most of your other songs, has a GREAT sound to it!! very homey and natural, the kind of song that makes you think you've heard it before.. :) SUPER good man, thanks for sharing! [I was wondering what your process for writing songs os.. I don't ever have much luck]

Keep it up bro!

[esorensen8142]

this song kicks ass

[p0nette]

wow that's a great great song. i come from KoKoKaina's channel, that makes 2 wonderful YT discoverings in 2 days! i like that!! :D

thanks ^^ s0phie

[ljusprick]

oh I really love this song! your voice and how you play the guitar, and the piano in the background makes it even better. you will go to the stars with this one.

[soonerlady414]

You need to get a "my space" site if you already don't have one. There have been a lot of people discovered on my space. I think that more people who are looking for "new" voices and "new" writers..are looking on "my space"more than on you tube. Get yours going if you don't have one! Great voice.

[VirgilGuitar]

All-time favorite on YT Kris - this is so flippin aweshum!

[Vidas666]

Hi there loved your rendition really, but is one bad think about you is that you don't have the tits otherwise you could be a long time on front page of uTube . Funny but that true uTube is a slightly is a kind porno site with all chicks on front page , cheers and Happy Holiday ;-)

[gannibus]

nothing better than a nice pair of Tig Old Bitties....great vocal awesome playing

[jimmymccombs]

nice video man jimmy7

[mumayra]

I keep coming back to this song...

can't get enough of it...

tnx, for such a beautiful song...

[zzzzzzzzap]

It's a pleasure, mumayra. I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the best

[davidjoeg]

that was just awsome!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks again, davidjoeg, it's appreciated. Peace

[BloodySabbathman]

I think this is a great piece, plus the way you look when you play looks like you put lots of emotion into it. = D

[zzzzzzzzap]

You should see me when I'm dancing, BloodySabbathman :) No, seriously, Thanks!

[BloodySabbathman]

lol, that made me chuckle. By hearing all of these beautiful songs you write, I can tell you are a very passionate person at heart.

[ultimatewolflover]

Dude, I love all of your songs I've listened to... It helps that they are more quiet... Red Skies at Night was the first one I listened to, I absolutely loved it. Keep working hard! ^^ I'll definitely listen.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, ultimatewolflover. I'll keep posting as long as you keep listening :) Peace

[touyacvel]

wow, very nice! i loved it..

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks for the support, touyacvel. Peace

[zeppelin5100]

wow i just found my new favorite music before bed, this is great, it really hits a spot inside of me. im a musician myself, this is really inspiring

[zzzzzzzzap]

I'm really glad you enjoy my stuff, zeppelin5100. As I've said before, it makes posting worthwhile. All the best

[jzeder]

Dude! Great stuff! It's 9.30a.m. here in Finland and I've been up all night, drinking beer and playing poker. Should go to sleep, but I'm stuck here listening to your songs. Thanks for posting them. To me, good music is all about good songs. And you've got a few really good ones. Thanks!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, jzeder. I hope you managed to get some sleep. Peace

[drittz111]

Wow! That's all I can say. Wow........

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, drittz111, that's enough :)

Peace

[VilhelmNielsen]

Hey man, great stuff. I just started subscribing, 'cos you're really talented. But please get a lamp or something, I can't see a damned thing.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Haha... I'd had a hefty electricity bill just before I recorded this, VilhelmNielsen, I was watching the kilowatts :P Peace

[cohagenw]

wow.

this is really good.

is there any way I can put this on my iPod? I'd love to listen to you often.

[zzzzzzzzap]

I think there are ways and means but I'm no expert, cohagenw. I'm working on putting an album together at the moment if you can wait a little longer :)

[jarred2008]

You need to get some sort of copy right going on. Your stuff is fantastic, can't say what your influence is but im sure that's a good thing. None of this new "music" coming out these days competes with what you have here.

KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!

[cohagenw]

the way music works, it's copyrighted as soon as a recording of any kind is made.

I agree, though. This is really good.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks also, cohagenw, glad you enjoyed. Peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, jarred2008. Yeah. Copyright's sorted. Thanks so much for the support ~ glad you enjoy my stuff, it means a lot. Peace

[lindamac]

ZZZZZZZZZAP5******* all the stars

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks, lindamac for all the support (and all the stars). Peace

[lindamac]

ZZZZZZZZ you are welcome peace to you and best wishes to you & yours for Christmas & New Year xxx

[just888another888ide]

I have listened to this beautiful piece every single day. Your music is very addicting and amazing.

[zzzzzzzzap]

I thought my ears were burning, just888another888ide :) Thanks for the support. Peace

[zenzero42]

still enjoying your stuff, z! you have a wonderful feel for melody and flow. hopefully i'll get a webcam and mike set up before long, and you can have one more person to exchange challenges with (what a great idea to stay inspired!)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Nice one, zenzero42~ let me know when you post and I'll check you out. Peace

[spacedmoose]

I keep comin back to watch this, its just brilliant. Cheers for toppin off a great day with this truly great song :D

[zzzzzzzzap]

It's a pleasure, spacedmoose. Check back whenever you like -- you're always welcome. Peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

Wow, Swantantra100. Thanks for your kind words again. You're quite prolific, but regarding not being able to see me gig, that's not strictly down to the fact that you're American ~ as I've not yet plucked up the courage :) Thanks again. Peace

[Rocksquad37]

Great song, well done.. 5 stars.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks Rocksquad37. Cheers for stopping by and commenting. Peace

[kellying]

Hey Zap=)remember me?sorry for taking so long to stop by,got some paper work to complete...i enjoy this one mate=),it's really good,it's my another fav of yours=)

[zzzzzzzzap]

hey again, kellying. Hope everything's well with you. All the best..

[Novobloom]

You dont stop to amaze me man.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks again, Novobloom, it's appreciated. Peace

[just888another888ide]

your voice is AMAZING...... Don't you dare ever give up..... You've got an incredible gift there my friend. Thanks for posting your songs!

[zzzzzzzzap]

It's a pleasure, just888another888ide. Glad you enjoyed. Peace

[mumayra]

this is my favorite song...

your voice is amazing...

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot, mumayra.. I'm still not the most confident singer but with kind words like that I'll certainly look to working on it and improving. Peace

[pauldavidbeard]

36 seconds in... Loved it from then. :)

[zzzzzzzzap]

But what about the first 35 seconds, pauldavidbeard? (I jest, I jest). Thanks so much for your continued support. It's difficult with all these subs to sound sincere all the time but I'm starting to remember people, if that makes any sense. Peace

[ReinaDelCid]

Beautiful, beautiful style, man! I'm a new fan. :-)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Welcome aboard, ReinaDelCid ~ thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my music. Peace

[potatoisyellow]

Certainly, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzap is one of the most talented I have come across on You Tube

[zzzzzzzzap]

You're too kind, potatoisyellow, and thanks for the extra z's .. that's what we like! :P Peace

[johnreon]

Well zzzzzzzzap the time is Now... Keep singing from your heart and this will keep your songs a part of you... One thing nobody can ever take from you is the music in your heart... Please keep the great tunes coming as for now they proceed you but soon they will follow you to the top...

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, johnreon. Spoken like a true gentleman again. Peace to you

[trkfan12345]

what I love about you most is how you make sad words sound lighter not exactly jubilant, but it's not depressing either. What I mean is difficult to express... it's like you treat topics that bother you with a calm, measured, controlled temper, as opposed to raging or lamenting which while they are useful, I much prefer your way. Er... I hope that made some sort of sense.... It's been a while since I've been able to check my subscriptions... I had missed your voice! :) Brilliant song once again!

[zzzzzzzzap]

You're spot on, trkfan12345 ~ that's what I tend to do in my writing.. I suppose I'm attracted to sadder prose and lovely sounding chords, the juxtaposition = the music I create. I'm so glad your keen ear heard this too. Peace

[trkfan12345]

I just love listening to your music so much =)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, trkfan12345.. I hope you keep on enjoying too! Peace

[marywinmusic]

I see you have many adoring fans nowadays ;-) This one's delectably hooky. Your originals are always - wonderfully original. 5* ~Mary :D

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks Mary -- I'm glad you enjoyed; what can I say? I'm still learning but I'm glad people enjoy what I do.. as you know yourself, it makes writing worthwhile. Peace

[ortoPilot]

get a band... not just any band.. get a reeeally good one. i swear with tunes like yours you'll make it. the time is right for your music

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks ortoPilot; that means a lot coming from your good self. Thanks for all the support. I really appreciate it. Peace

[704studio]

a masterpiece, a revelation.....

[zzzzzzzzap]

*blushes* Thanks, 704studio, glad you enjoyed. Peace

[AileenMorgan]

Seriously mind boggling how talented you are. Truly. Thank you thank you thank you for the angels who connected you with the path of sharing your gifts with the world.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Aileen; you are too kind, too kind! That's the kind of thing I wished I'd said for it certainly holds true of your music too. Peace to you

[thesteamroller]

Zap! It really is a noble thing to reply to all your comments. I am a fellow song writer and i love your music. I feel we have very similar influences. Drake, Dylan, Donovan,. These names come to my mind listening to you, and i wish i could write songs like that. But you have the advantage of being British. LOL. My mind is warped from american propaganda. HAHA. Actually its not funny because its true.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Haha, thanks thesteamroller .. sometimes being British has it advantages I guess :P Thanks so much for your kind words and I hope you continue to enjoy my music. Peace

[seeso]

I am consistently blown away by your stuff. Just amazing, brother.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, seeso. I hope you continue enjoying. Peace

[vmandanici]

ZAP, you never cease to amaze me with your music. To have such melodic music, lyrics, voice, guitar playing all wrapped up in one sweet package like this makes me proud to be able to tell people that "I knew him way back when". Last person I jammed with that I was convinced that would make it big was back in the mid eighties and she became a big star: Melissa Etheridge (true story)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Wow! I've heard the name. Maybe, vmandanici, it isn't so much the artist themselves but YOUR effect on them. Have you ever thought of that? Peace

[vmandanici]

hehehe Kris, that's a thought only a writer like yerselph could come up with man!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Maybe you inspired me to come up with it ;) haha (this could go on forever) :P

[genealogyy]

Such a talented guy!!! great original cover... I really admire your work!!!

eric

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks eric, that's so nice of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Peace

[lukensal]

Fantastic! I love it.

Thanks

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thank you, lukensal

[aprogressivist]

You have talent; you have more talent than I could ever aspire to. Well done.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Don't be daft -- I just spend far too long avoiding real work and play my guitar instead. Sooner or later something's just going to happen, haha. Peace

[alkirob]

zzzzzzzzap - the world tour

coming to a city near you

i hope

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha, I would hold your breath, alkirob; though I suppose with YT I kinda already am on tour.. hmmm, I'll leave you with that thought :P

[Arakaii]

5 stars and fav'd, I love it man. The rhythm in this one kicks bud, awesome job. I could listen to that on the radio.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, Arakaii. Peace

[stillhorizon]

This is amazing stuff! I would definately buy your album!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, stillhorizon. I have a little time off work so I hope to get something sorted. Peace

[theskydivine]

i'm going to start making music videos for your songs.

i get visions when i listen to you.

i'll post e'm if there any good.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Nice one, theskydivine - I'd love to see what you come up with. Peace

[justmeblueberry]

another goodun

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, justmeblueberry

[telday]

I haven't been around for a few weeks, and I log on to find you've posted three more brilliant original songs, and that your famous LOL. (congrats. on being featured it was well deserved, and well overdue).

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, telday. It was certainly a big shock ~ but you didn't really miss much; nothing really has changed apart from the subscriber numbers and I'm glad to see you back. Peace

[BluStarr14]

I love this song, the vibe and the lyrics. You are very talented. <3

[zzzzzzzzap]

You are too kind, BluStarr14. Am glad you enjoyed. Peace

[Frukamontajuju]

I need you to record and put out an album. Seriously, dude. Do it. Your only other option would be to marry me so you could sing to me everyday. :) keep posting

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha, thanks Frukamontajuju (what a mouthful!) That all depends on where you live! Peace

[led0berman]

man one new favorite song of you keep it like that

i love it like always ***** your just perfect

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheeres, led0berman. Great to hear from you. Planning on posting anything new? Peace

[gregonline6506]

man man man, what a cool song!!! If you where living somewhere around Europe, I would take my old octopad (roland spd8) and the other percussion stuff and have a nice session enhancing the drive in your music. however, I am pretty sure you will find people able to help you to make pro recordings and at the end sell the stuff, so we can get a copy... meanwhile I enjoy your talent here! Thx.

[zzzzzzzzap]

That sounds fantastic, gregonline6506 -- glad you enjoyed. It certainly needs something in the percussion department but I'm always concerned the keyboard drums won't 'work'. Peace

[MarkSHogan]

Excellent. How do you get the other instruments in there?

[thesteamroller]

overdub

[zzzzzzzzap]

I overdubbed them using Garageband -- basic but works for me! Peace

[gregonline6506]

So, you did the voice and guitar recording on garageband and added the keyboard? All done with that programm, or did you use other stuff? (Sry, if you have already answered tecnical questions)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Hi, gregonline6506. Apologies for the delay. It's all done through garageband. I record and video myself playing guitar and singing normally and then overdub the rest to suit. Hope this helps. Peace

[rrgroovy]

Beautiful music! I first found your Burma Song, stumbled into your page & was captivated! Talk about being caught by surprise...your playing, your writing, your sound is truly mesmerizing.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, rrgroovy -- I'm glad you stopped by to comment and that you enjoyed my music so far. It's a pleasure sharing when I get such lovely feedback. Peace

[moyga]

wow man. really pleasant. im surprised your not more popular within you tube yet.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, moyga. Just as long as I have a few nice people coming back and commenting I'll be happy. Thanks muchly. Peace

[mmcs122]

Wow. Love this. My friend tomtom132003 sent me here (thanks Tom!). Just excellent!

Again, I just LOVE your singing voice. ;)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks Tom.. and thanks to you, mmcs122 for the lovely comment. Peace

[eyesfrank]

OMG get into a freaking studio!!!!! i know i said this yesterday but i'm gunna say it again, you have tallent, real tallent. Just get a EP out mate really costs like £300 for a amazing studio and you could even get it free if you show them what you can do. If anyone's got a studio throw this guy a line...

15,000 tracks on my pc listened to you vidios for about 3 hours now.

get it together mate

i'll ave a signed copy !!!!

peace :)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, eyesfrank. Things are moving a tad slow, I'll admit. I have some time off work soon so I think I'm going to explore the matter further. I'm really a novice when it comes to these things but it would definitely be cool to get something down. Peace

[Isodig]

Excellent. I think this song, more than any others of yours shows off your musicianship and it's still does it without being in the face. You are the real deal - that was awesome.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, isodig.. I'm lost for words really.. um.. Thanks again! Peace

[TimThiele]

Another great song and another reason to get your CD up soon. Take my offer seriously! If you found someone else or want to go for yourself, fine! I am just doing it to help you.

The 4 big music labels only produce people which follow a special style of music and so on... You have no chance there :( Sorry to say that.

Go find someone to produce you or make your own label ;)

[zzzzzzzzap]

No, I know what you're saying, TimThiele -- my music was never destined for the charts methinks but it'd be cool to go down the independent route -- just don't know where to start :P Peace

[newvictim]

I love your style, your voice, your music. I am about to covert your videos to mp3s to listen to them in my car! get me a freaking CD!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, newvictim.. I'm just wondering.. what's the quality like on the conversions? I'm wondering whether I can record the album completely 'at home' or whether I should splash out some dollar on a studio. Peace

[newvictim]

hehe. I am no audiophile. But maybe I will do one and mail it to you.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers, newvictim - got the tune - not bad. It has inspired me to get my finger out and get on with the recording thing. Peace
