You have an amazing voice, and I love your songs, (: I see that you get that a lot on here, but really, your lyrics never stop surprising me every time I listen to them. You're very inspiring and talented, thank you.
jay brannan you really have a great voice and i love listening to your music. always i feel like some how ever now and them tend to respond to my past i guess thats the gay life lol you have a great voice and keep singing for guys like my sakes NICK
...another amazing song....Mr. Brannan, you are amazing....I think most people are in love with the idea of love...when the reality hits they run....especially in our commitment phobic age....I've had my chance and it has passed...although, still young and, hopefully, much more time ahead, the time has come to focus on career and other things....love is a two edged sword where you always cut yourself...love seems to be a concept and not a reality....
Love your voice!!! I have a request....... "Hallelujah". It's a beautiful song and is one of my favorites. PLEASE! Thanks for sharing your gift with us.
Your music is like therapy for yourself and your fans; me included. I was with a guy who is bi. I lost him to a guy. (and I'm a woman) Go figure - Your song Half-Boyfriend is a perfect song from me to him. But we are still friends so who knows what might happen in the future. I hope your tour is going great Jay. love ya lots! ^_^
what am i to say to this ... i am very touched. and i truly hope you will find one to make you trust in love again. love you for being able to give word and music to your feelings. hugs from german .... chris.
I can totally relate to this song, I've finally got a boyfriend that I can get along with lol. It felt like love had it's back turned on me for so long, but I guess that's the way it is for most of the gay community lol. My boyfriend introduced me to your youtube page and I totally love your voice and the lyrics to your songs!!! I hope you get more than youtube famous!!!
Jay, you are what the world needs more of. I don't want to sound like some crazy fan girl, but you ARE increadible. That song makes me cry. Which is pathetic, but I love it. (: thanks Mr. Brannan
I fell in love listening to Jay last year. It's funny to see my ex commenting on this video when he's the exact kind of guy who inspires most of Jay's songs. I wish I'd never introduced Jay to him; he doesn't deserve these kind of emotions.
A beautiful song sung by a wonderful artist Keep working on it, Jay. It's coming and you're nearly there with it! Your gentle voice, the lyric and the melody with the simple accompaniment are so moving.
Aw Jay, I fucking love your music! You inspire me so much =] This is wonderful. I always seem to relate to whatever it is your songs have to do with... your lyrics mean a lot to me. Keep pouring you heart out!
Yay! A positive song from Jay! I'm glad that something good has apparently happened to you! I LOVE your music, but I always get sad for you because it's all inspired by what seems like pain.... 'Adda boy!! ;-)
it must be a joy in life to wake up knowing your talent and having the looks and the confidence to do something with it.If we could all be so lucky...
thanks for inspiring me - been through some very rough times and lonely for months - done wrong by two guys - thought each time this is "him" but...I will pin down love "one day"
Love is the one thing that was around since the begining of man, and it is the one thing we can all count on being around up till the very end. Regardless if we want to admit it or not, it IS one of the most important subject matters any artist can touch on. Don't lose that spirit. It's absolutley beautiful, Jay.
Jay, I like all your songs aboutlove, relationships etc...
.Denmark: "We got a lotta maybes to struggle through" andd Beautifully: "It' not that you're not beautiful, ..... .....just not beautiful to me"......
.I guess because of my own experiences I can identify with these.
I also like other music, especially Traditional Irish music in dark pubs on winter evenings over some froathy pints of Guinness.
that's true.....you have never written about coming out.....sorry . I just like the subject matter of your songs, as you say, feelings, experiences, relationships......which are universal. I'm not a fan of dance music either...... Apologies for the badly expressed post.
dbrito77: People remain single for many reasons. I for example remain single because I choose to. I've always rushed into relationships thinking that's what I needed to be happy. When all along, it was I who needed to be happy with myself before sharing my life with someone else. Different people, different reasons; all personal to that individual.
as a song lyricist myself, i always love your new tunes, such inspiration for me to achieve my own goals, keep on keepin' on Jay, love it, and i can relate to that a lot!
I've said it before and as long as you sound like that I'll say it again, I OVE YOU"RE VOICE!!!! I love the song, the love your music and I love watching and listening to you sing. Great Job Jay!! If you have a cd I would love to buy one!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
How many times can a guy sign about getting hurt in a youtube video? Geeze! Whats all this love crap about? What has happen to gay men? Sounds like he's sawing wood while he plays. I'll never understand how a pretty face can make up for true musical talent!
@ jshane76: Wow, what a comment. Jay is uncommenly talented.......he has written a song book of original unique songs. Your dismissal of his songs is probably because you have not listened to his collection. And what's with the "what happened to gay men comment ? Nothing-- we are as we have always been, as diverse and eclectic in our tastes as straight people--no difference-- some like metal, some like folk, some classical, some rap......as diverse and as complex in our tastes as you. Peace !
So... yeah I listened to his collection and you're right it changed me now I want to blow my brains out! Fyi I'm gay, and what I meant was "music" was what kept us going through the week, That thump-a-thump-a of the club calling, you couldn't wait until the weekend to dance your azz off, HAPPY! Dance Sweaty! enjoying the moment. NOT crying over some man over and over again or singing about doing the dishes or dreaming about the future. Anyway just what I thought... later
I think it's a rather well done song.. although i think the extension of the last word of each verse is honestly unneeded. But as you said, it's kinda rough and improvised, but still good.
i have been completely head over heels fan-loving-a-artist in love with u ever since shortbus. jeez. not in a stalker way though i hope u see. just in a your music has been there through most of the important times the past years. xoxo
u always seem so tired in videos,u lean over every time u dont have to sing and seem like u wanna take a nap. Take some sleeping pills and get some rest boo!
Creative process...I'm afraid that the creative bug is likely to strike at any hour of day or night. The successful artist persists, even fighting the fatigue as muse must be confronted! It can't be denied or shut-out, is only mildly cumbersome when thought or emotion to create arrives on the doorstep at odd hours! Seriously, it is a BIG mistake to deny the muse. Lives, careers, culture, and fortune utterly depend on these 'visitations'.
