  • Great song man...

    Whe are home:)

  • I like it. Very much.

  • AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • 0.12 beautiful laughter :) beautiful voice ..and lyrics ..music :)

  • "it taints my eyes, all the darkness i've seen.....is there some way lord, i can get clean?"

  • an another excellent song - I can not wait for the album. :)

  • such a great song!

  • thank you for sending me this dude, its really good, definitely spreading this video around.

  • wow!

  • he did a pretty darn good job of remembering this song :) that was amazing... thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this. It is one of the best representations of youth talent and idealistic young people. THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF ME to send this. I'm going to share it with other people and put it on my playlists. Home is in your heart.

  • @johnhayish our life is evident enough. It is a gift to be alive. We're not to tempt God by taking our own lives. There are Christians that struggle with life too. Your not guaranteed happiness just cause you accept God. Those are things that have to be worked out from within the person. The guarantee is that God will see you through your struggles. One very important way that God helps is by using His people. We are meant to love one another. That's what is missing from the world. I'm glad y

  • @MrDavj36 God can mean anything to anyone, just because Christianity works for you, doesn't mean the same for everyone else. I choose not to put God in a box with dogmatic religion.

  • This song I great love ur music

  • He says "the kingdoms of men are paper thin and hollow". That's biblical.

  • okay let me say one thing this guy is probably a christian, as he says in his lyrics, 'is there some way LORD can i get clean?'............ unless hes using the word Lord without meaning, or Lord as in lord (x), (some human)

  • True passion in playing guitar. Love the finger strumming in the other videos. Great job and continue your dreams they can lead you everywhere.

  • Pretty cool stuff. Great Voice, real lyrics.

  • @johnhayish Am I deluded for wanting to help people see that they have a purpose in life? To wanna help change lives? don't u see that these people that think there is no reason for life, that there isnt God or a heaven, that they are self destructive? More people are committing suicide and more and more of the youth in the world have no respect for authority. I don't know where ur from but I live in Philly. Kids are ganging up on adults in the streets for fun. There are more murders than the

  • @MrDavj36 your deluded beacause you take an idea as a fact that has no evidence to back it up. I am happy and i don't believe in god i am not self destructive haha. So if there is a heaven why dont people just kill themselves ?, however crazy that question might sound it is legit because there are fundamentalists such as suicide bombers that take other people's lives because they have been so brainwashed they think they will get to heaven. this is what this brainwashing can do

  • Very Awesome. I often write or do something else why'll listening to music. It takes a lot to make me put down what im doing and be still, but this made me shut the fuck up and listen. You remind me of a boy in my high school, but you are a more developed musician and are way quiter. You probably write all your own stuff, but I'll send you lyrics for free if you'd like. Im a 15 year old aspiring lyricist and I think you rock

  • @Daazbee God is the only true way mate, and don't go thinking i'm brainwashed too, i wasn't bought up around Godly people, I am well educated so its not that i'm stupid, some of the greatest minds find God. Plus the majority of the world is religious, its only the 2% that are atheist. God and science are the same, science is just understanding how God does things, if you actually listen and listen to your heart you too will find God, if not you will find the idea of God reasonable. just learn.

  • @OriginalBritishMan sorry you are deluded. you may be educated and smart but anyone can be deluded. the majority of the people in the world are religious is true, but it doesn't make any of it's ideas true just beacause a lot of people believe in it. people used to think the world was flat didnt make it true did it ? plus each religion contradicts eachother so even if there was a god which religion would it be true ? god and science aren't the same thing haha.

  • you never disappoint mr doyle :) absolutely amazing!

  • lovely to listen too :o)

  • All my life I've been afraid of myself/Been putting on a mask for everyone else/Scared of the future, scared 'cause I know/I'm just a kid wearing grown up clothes

    Awesome lyrics, those stuck out for me personally

  • mon coup de coeur en ce vendredi de février... je rêve d'un lac, d'un joueux de guit et d'un gringo!

  • thanks a lot for sharing this! really great!

  • Excellent!

  • Amazing, Josh!

    Love your music!!!!

  • Now that's what I love. Faster and more base I guess it is. Lovely work,

    Sharon in Colorado

  • Very soulful playing keep it up.

  • Just a kid Wearing grown up clothes Yes..

  • 3:08 I Think He's Masturbating?

  • Thank you for sending me your video. Great song and very nice interpretation. Have a lovely inspirational day and always be blessed with everything good in this life.

  • THANK YOU!!!! BOTH SONG AND PLACE ARE BEAUTIFUL AND MATCH!

  • Джош,у тебя есть будущее в музыке.Тебя хочется слушать.

  • its nice to here genuine music, i thought it died after 1998 after alternative rock ( and all the other glorious rock from the 60's- mid 90's) lost its existence to nysnc and backstreet. and now justin and gaga

  • @GemsOnVHS very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccce

  • The best music comes from the heart. Good Job!

  • Nice song that mate, good point too. Pleasure, thanks for posting. Ste

  • I really love listening to your music,Josh!Hope so much that one day you will come to my hometown Berlin....Thanks for making music and writing those true lyrics

  • @GemsOnVHS

    I fill my void with life.

  • love the music man, you can take on bands like Mumford and sons with talent you have.

  • "I've followed a thousand false prophets and whores"..I think I really like that line. Singers are Storytellers. Music can inspire us or conspire against us. Keep singing Josh, you've got them talking..which is usually a good thing! May that which is perfect, come to you now and always!

  • @soulseeker182 story tellers are the best kind of songs how true

  • Josh, I thought you were really good! Try and get on either Canadian Idol or American Idol for more exposure. Good luck!!

  • Yea man, good stuff you got here.

  • hey thanks for the video. thought you were great. if you keep at it and persist,,,it may just get you were you need to be,, best of luck with your endeavours, thanks again, rob,,apologys for the delay in getting back.l cant always get on the laptop, it belongs to my kids,, must invest in one,,lol,

  • Can anyone figure out the chords? ;)

  • stupid arguements. enjoy the music!

  • I fill my void with applesauce sometimes.. but I prefer chocolate. I hate when people come here just to debate nonsense. Thanks, GemsOnVHS for trying to shut them up.

  • welldone man awe inspirring

  • your music calms me and helps me to concentrate whenever am doing my work.

    The song gets a thumbs up from me  :)

  • @Daazbee A lot of people have said that the void can only be filled by jesus... just come to my church, literally everyone there says that! :P

  • HI!

     really enjoyed the video, sorry just do not speak English or understand the lyrics of her music, I am Brazilian and I speak only Portuguese, excuse me, I used a google translator to be able to answer it!! Excuse me, but congratulations on your good taste in tunes!

  • Beautiful song.

  • not bad keep it up

  • thanks yougottahearthis

  • I really liked the music. 

  • 3 testicles? Hellsbells, you better get busy seeing a doctor! I don`t know how they fix that kinda stuff...I think voodoo doctors use a dull hatchet or an axe to chop off extra balls...and they might give ya some percocet afterwards. I really don`t know. Thank heaven MY balls are okay!

    I like this song by Josh.

  • Thanks for the heads up on this wonderful artist. Love the clear & raspy colour of Josh's voice. Thanks for sharing this.

  • this is really good music...rock on

  • Exceptional Guitar Playing ! Love your tone & your layed back additude ! Great .....just great ...keep sharing please !

  • This is pretty awesome. I like it!

  • I like it! Thanks for sharing!

  • plenty of umph like it

  • Good Stuff

  • Well.... I really like the guitar work a lot. But you need to work on your voice. I think you're damaging it.

  • Nice!

  • Great song bro! Thanks for sending it to me!

  • Very, very good. 

  • @Daazbee  I think you're right. Not everyone can understand or agree with what I said. Thanks for the advice.

    Btw, I'm not brainwashed. I really did accept Jesus in my life and im still a somewhat normal guy. Haha. But u did ask. And I had to answer. my purpose isn't to hit ppl over the head with the fact the God is good. It's to love. A love that can really touch someones heart in need. I think that's a pretty good purpose. I'm sure u can't disagree with that. In the future if I want to

  • Nice work! Thanks for sharing!

  • You did a great job, thanks for sharing!

  • sounds really cool ... great work!

    lg.maik ;-)

  • Normally I never respond to random guys sending me links via Youtube... Guess I made an exception. Nice song and vid. Strong/raw voice, I like it.

    Anyway. Keep up the good work, mate!

  • @Daazbee The artist uses the word void in the lyrics. That void can only be filled by Jesus Christ. We all are born with that emptiness inside of us, which can only be filled with God's love. Before having Christ, we try filling that void with other things. Whether it be working a lot, drinking, using drugs, eating or even turning to music. Its hard not to think about Jesus when i keep Him in my life everyday even if thats not what the song is about.

  • @MrDavj36 The artist uses the word void in the lyrics. That void is most probably a black hole. There are probably millions of black holes inside our universe, which can be filled with anything and everything. Before being a black hole, the stars try filling the void with other things. Whether it be fire, gas, nuclear fusion or exploding violently. Its hard not to die near a black hole when I come anywhere near it, even if thats not what the song is about.

  • @MrDavj36 you are so deluded. nothing you said made sense i am amazed at your logic. I feel sorry for you because you will never experiance life outside your closed mind. because you are so deluded you won't even consider that i am right, so i am pretty sure saying this to you is pointless :/

  • @MrDavj36

    You've been raised in a cult. Or got depressed and joined a cult. Either way, you've been brainwashed dude.

  • Really enjoyed your music , beautifully wrote and sung with a depth that opens my heart, pure, good luck for the future and all of us when I think about it.

  • surprise! the one in a thousand...really good. thanks for the invite. say hello to kenny lamb for me in gnashville if you see him....from mark. y'all prob don't travel in the same circles tho. hah hah.. i think we would though. love your lyrics music and singing. "home....." and where exactly is that, laddie?

  • Someone sent me a link to your vid - it's great so I'll listen to more and maybe subscribe.

  • nice, good job

  • nice.....thank you...i like that "meaning of life is to find your way home"

  • Enjojed it

    

  • Very good man ! Hope you have enough confidence to keep going ! who cares if you're famous ! Playing music that you love means more then that aye !

  • Fantastic track!

  • Add it to my faves! I love your music...you entered my heart! Thank you:)

  • You really breath Bob Dylan. Your music is great, amazingly good to be sincere! Keep working, you'll be famous! Love your music, kiss Ariana from PORTUGAL!

  • Be true to your heart!

  • Thanks for the share. I love this! I will definetly be checking out more of your music!

  • Pretty damned excellent - Thanks for the link.

  • Nice job - I like the passion. Reminds me of Cat Stevens' passion and a little bit of Joni Mitchell too. You have a great style - and that mountain man look is hot! Good luck to you!

  • I liked it - and I am pretty fussy. No resemblance to JT. Chord structure is early Dylan, liked it. Not big on thumping guitar but you varied it often enough to be interesting. Poignant vocal. Id be very happy if I saw you at a gig

  • Wow!...You have that certain "je ne sais quoi", Whole Full sound quality!

    Very Good...:-)

  • Thank you for sharing. You are very talented, and sang with passion and feeling. I wish you the best of luck in your singing career.

  • I really like your song,great talent.wish you much success !!

  • Very nice. I grew up in So.Cal. in the '60s and '70s. And as I listened I had to close my eyes and go back there for a few moments. Very nice indeed.

  • Thanks for the invite. I really like your song and your voice!

    Your voice reminds me a bit of Ryan Adams.

    I'm a songwriter singer too... I haven't posted anything on YouTube of my music but will in the near future.

    Good luck! You're very talented.

  • A zealous story of resilence. Thank you for sharing your soulful melodies with us.

  • Lots of passion and raw talent.  I enjoyed this!:)

  • I agree with josgvis. You have your own modern style of folk song writing.. Stick with it. Don't sell out if your discovered. hold your art close to your heart and always hold the passion.

  • I like this a lot, but I would not compare you to James Taylor, you truly have your own style of singing and playing the guitar. Wishing you all the best in the very competitive music scene! You're on the right path and living in the right city!

  • Thanks a lot for sending me your video, as many here i apreciate your talent and hope just u kkep it up, and dont listen to negative comments, maybe to some constructive criticism, not the hurtful stuff, congrats and God keep blessing u !!!

  • Good STUFF !!

    Keep it up !

    

  • Heeey thanks for the mail.really like your song.u have talent,u could make something big out of that.great voice :) and great lyrics :)

  • Good job! Am one person who's very glad to have been chosen to send what one guy calls spam..great stuff!

  • Lotta heart. Good on you. So earnest.

  • Very good indeed :-)

  • Thanks for sharing this with me. You have loads of talent. I wish you the very best.

  • Josh - thanks for sharing this with me. Really nice and very heart felt which is a quality that I see precious little of in every genre these days. Keep up the good work and "break a leg"!

  • thanks for sending the email to me....I remember being at woostock, and hearing some of the comments that "critics" made about Dylan,and CSN and even Jimmy. Boy were those "critics" wrong. Keep playing kid, you never know who's listening..Your stuff is good.

  • Really is a great song : )

    Rocket

  • Yeah, the lyrics and voice are good, but just like every modern songwriter, it would be nice to hear more than three or four very basic chords and endless strumming of the same pattern. I'm hoping you're looking for honesty in our comments. Listen to some Jimmy Webb or Billy Joel, for example. Their music is just as sophisticated, or even more so, than the words. I want to listen to something that will grab my attention and take me to unexpected places. But keep at it, bro!

  • Thank you for sending me your video i' m definetly describing

  • The song is pure, smooth transitions and the melody is bright, yet sullen and melancholy. Easy tune to get stuck in your head. All the best for a rocking 2012 Doyle

  • Made me think of Terry Reid....great lyricist and musician. We'd love to catch your show next time you're in Nashville.

  • I put you in my, my favorites playlist, I don't just any video in their. I don't just listen to anything.

  • I know where you go when you don't think anybody needs you, LA, California. If you have the money and a good car to get their and survive.

  • Yes, your singing has the right personality, and there is nothing wrong with going on Youtube and sending people messages to their Inbox. For a change, your one of the singers that can actually sing and hold a note at the same time. My dad tried to sing but he sounded like shit. Although he could play practically any instrument very well. I had to listen to my dad practice his singing for years. So I know what a shitty voice sounds like. But yours sounds real good.

  • I AM VERY IMPRESSED!!!!! You have a great voice, your lyrics are meaningful clear and definatly work with the chords well.I hope your music puts you on the fast track to success!!!!

    You got my vote:)

  • Yup, great one. Meaningful lyrics, far away from the worn-out paths of mainstream doobeedoobee. Made me reflect and think of things. Thank you!

  • great work :)

  • I loved it! Thank You=)

  • excellent!

  • Very Nice Song. Thanks for the perk!

  • juu---nice person singing ♪♪

  • This song, in some ways, reminds me of vintage Billy Joel...I am talking late 60's/very early 70's. Nice, energetic.

  • yeh, he's pretty good........almost a 1970s type of acoustic music

  • Dude this is awesome, thanks for sending it to me, don't care if it is spam.....it's great !! So glad i listened to it now.

  • 13 people who must have had a lobotomy before they heard this.........Love this song man!

  • soul stirring!!

  • Jesus brings us home. He is the truth, the life and the way. Great song

  • @MrDavj36 Have to bring Jesus into it?

  • Awesome

    Grandma mary

  • Great song and voice

  • Thanks for the e-mail i get those type of e-mails all the time but i decided to actually try this and im glad i did you are definitely talented and i hope you get what you wish as a guitar player and a sculptor myself i understand and appreciate art. if drake and kanye and all those poor excuses for artist can get recognized i hope you can.

  • Sorry pal..you are no where as good as james taylor.....but keep sending out your tunes and good luck.

  • Beautiful song

  • Jesus is the way......you are good

  • Thank you for writing and sharing this song with me mate it's put a smile on my face..:o)

  • Good man Josh!

  • Amen brother ! find your way home,... is heaven on earth. great song josh !!!

  • I love the sound Josh! Keep it up, I'm totes sharing this!

  • Thanks for your link, Your song is top-notch!

  • very good, thanks to showing me!

  • that's 505 free tickets you'll need to be giving to your fans :D

    13 people don't know the meaning of life

  • good stuff man---I am also a songwriter/singer--ha ha------music is in us songwriter types

  • Great song. I'm reminded of so many singers all rolled up into one talented ball. Keep it up, you're really good.

  • Hi there, I really like this!!

    Reminds me a bit of early Bruce Springsteen. Great voice you got. Thanks for checking out my music, too.

  • i enjoyed this immensely

  • Wow is all I can say. thank you for sending me a message.

  • That reverb on his voice has been added right? This is pretty good audio quality. Nice lighting and colour palette too lol. He's gotta cool-sounding voice. The dynamics on his vocals I like too.

  • I will have to go back and listen to this a few more times in order to make up my mind if I think it's great or not, in my ears it is good for sure though, pure backgroundsetting, pure voice, thanks for sharing.

    And thanks for the personal message, was a bit "shocked" when you mentioned an artist that I'd listened to, that's probably what made me come here.

  • Sometimes talent simply goes unnoticed, sometimes it's simply not there and sometimes it's simply not worthy of our time or energy...this young man has the talent, that's obvious and it's certainly worth a listen and frankly, I wish I got more unsolicited emails that introduced me to super talented up and coming artists...keep up the "great" work Josh...you will get wherever you want to go...thanks for sending it to me...

  • is this video from like 1966..it looks and sounds way old..

  • thanks for sending this. while it's not my style of music, it is clear this young man has the right talent and passion for the music business and I wish him much success...

  • Great lyrics,Great voice, in my ears this song should never be strummed, it sounds much better when picked. Strumming so hard introduces a sense of panic, which I feel this beautiful song does not need. It should be picked, with moments of NO guitar, allowing you to sing with all the passion in your voice, ascending and descending. Keep the guitar playing simple, close your eyes and sing to the world. I think your a great talent Josh, KEEP IT SIMPLE!

  • thats really good..

  • dude you're enough good to be famous by yourself without the help of spam, don't send messages to the people with this video, i got one and i thought 'just another asshole without talent' and i saw the video and you're really good, but if you chose another way to send your music and video to the people could be the best way.

  • @TheRinyoko Actually man, the reason this video has so many comments/views is because he spent his valuable time sending it PERSONALLY to people whom he thought might like it. If he took your advice, it'd have way less views and no one would know how awesome he is. So really, you're wrong and he's doing the right thing. Sorry, had to be said. Thanks, Anthony, the guy who filmed this. PEACE.

  • @GemsOnVHS Couldn't have said it better.

  • @TheRinyoko Hardly spam mate and i like most people here (including you) are glad that the link was sent

  • @TheRinyoko YouTube is designed to do exactly that, to spread music. If you don't want to listen, don't listen. Don't agree with your point. I received his kind message. And am listening now. I agree with you that he is very talented.

  • Hey man,

    Cool stuff. Keep er up. Peace

    -MW

  • Yeah. "I care about you, and wish to enhance your life as much as the reci
