My step-son played this piece for my father's memorial service. How lovely the addition of the song was to our recollections. Thank you for posting, and Tommy Emmanuel's influence on my family.
Who was the sad bugger to dislike this video? Lol pure briliance, I'm 18 and I respect Tommy, his beautiful skill and his passion for music so much. I did a cover of this song, if you have time check it out on my channel :)
every time i hear this piece i feel the same sensation as smell of morning dew covered grass and morning breeze blowing gently pass your neck. Tommy's musical compositions are special.
I had the pleasure seeing Tommy perform a few weeks ago in Utah. And, even better I got to spend a few minutes with him in his dressing room, picking his brain. He was so generous with his time, and sharing his knowledge. He has an amazing aura about him. He indulged me completely, even allowing a photo of our hands pressed together in comparison (They were not much longer than mine giving me no excuse why I can't practice to do some of the things he does). Tommy, you are the greatest!!!
this song really makes me cry ... it evokes such a deep joy... it reminds me of a friend I lost... but it makes me think of what a beautiful person he was... beautiful
I didn't know a guitar could even make that sound... I felt a shift in my personal musical style just listening to this! I think I have a new influence.
This made me cry for weeks. Only Tommy. Even the responses he gets on youtube are a reflection of his spirit touching each of us. Going to see him in Febuary...can't wait.
The first time I heard this piece it stopped me cold. I still think it is one of his best and most moving compositions. I saw him do it live several years ago and you could have heard a pin drop in the theatre.
this is definitely one on tommy's most intrisic songs out there. Its so soothing and fresh.. i keep saying it but what a genius who can come up with something like that
even though I'm a guy, I almost shed a tear while hearing this beautiful piece. Makes me feel like im walking through a beatiful green landscape on a morning adorned with soft cool breezes gently flowing through my body, free of all worries and doubts.....just free. but that's just me :)
Man, only a brain of brilliance and a heart of gold can produce such beautiful and moving music. His Poppa, as well as Chet, are smilin' ear to ear right about now. Mankind can only be touched for the better with Tommy's music around.
Tommy played this song a week ago, 21st of November in Prague.. this was my second time I've been to his concert..he had string quartet (4 czech girls) playing 10 pieces with him.. amazing.. this was one of them.. you can't imagine.. you see the man that you know the whole year only from vids standing i front of you playing all these amazing songs.. it's like a dream.. and then you realize that he's just a man.. but blessed man.. love his music.. hope to get my guitar signed.. :(
sorry that i react so bad but..you know tommy emmanuel is god on his guitar..he is such an amazing guitarplayer..when i didn't know him very well my father took me to a concert of tommy,..when he told the story of his deceased friend and startet to play ,,i still can't say goodbye" i even had to cry..ii's impossible for my to understand what music can do with my feelings and emotions..but i'm glad to know that you've changed your opinion..or maybe i did understand it a wrong way.. Lisa
CRAZY????? you think this is boring?than i think you have't any sense for really good music with EMOTIONS!! it hasn't to be fast or hard to play that it sounds good and awake something in you!
He plays an Australian-made acoustic called Maton. He has many of them, which apparently work well for him. But no matter what guitar he plays, it would undoubtedly sound awesome.
OMFG i just figgin love this song! One of his best! Finally it found it's way to youtube. Big thanks for uploading! Hope he plays it in Düsseldorf in December. Can't wait to see him.
This was the number one song I wanted to hear him play when I saw him in March, and to my absolute delight he played it. I told him how much I had wanted to hear it after the show, and he said that "it just felt right to play it tonight", and he had not played it for a very long time before that. Magical it was.
One of Tommys best I think, thanks for the upload!
Now that's one of my Tommy favourites! I requested this back in Newcastle last year, and the performance of it was epic! Thanks for posting this rarity! He doesn't play it often!
"Lewis & Clark" is in std tuning AFAIK, at least that's the way I play it. "morning aire" is one of my all time favourite tommy tunes... love it.
