♥♫♥

[AllenandHammond]

This is great!!!

[k11251]

i like your beard :)

[pridsters]

This is beautiful, can hear influences from Nick Drake definitely. Absolute pleasure to listen to, you need to get yourself a record deal my friend!

[EVELYNEMIL]

Awesome sound and song!!.

[icoelmono]

I am going to go out on a limb & say you were listening to Jackson C. Frank or Nick Drake before writing this tune :) Sincerely though I am rarely impressed by anything or anyone on the whole of the internet cos no one seems brave enough to just rely on the goodness of the music they are giving away to the world.. This made me happy to be exploring! PS: I notice you subscribe to my channel! Cheers to you for that, my dear friend! Drop me a line. Let's chat music. "Tokyo Quest" on Facebook.

[mixitashix]

loooooooooove this tune

[TheVulcansMusic]

Great stuff! Now whip out that banjo behind you!

[Eug0oglizer]

I just caught this. Freakin' great Jim!! LOVED IT!

I'd like to eventually do my own stuff-- I only do covers (so far).

Your talent is appreciated!

[reliablebow]

like the roll in this....excellent song!!!

[Jannen100]

This is one great tune Jim. Very nice vocals and melody. Thumbs up !

[56stargazer]

Frank

[AnkeZohm]

This is a great song - I like your voice.

[blackbeltbrown]

Amazing stuff man. really nice voice, u should check out my stuff and maybe we could collab on some lyrics.

[DillonUSMC27]

Hell yeah!!! That's what I'm talkin' about! I completely dig it! Do you have any albums for sale? Are you in a band? If so, what's the webpage? I lost my YouTube virginity recently by posting my first video (and tuth be told, I've never really played in front of more than 2 or 3 people at a time in my life). It's a Townes Van Zandt classic. I'll post it as a video response. I hope you like it. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!!! I have thick skin / would respect your opinion.

[jimski123]

@DillonUSMC27 Your vids are great man...you dont need any pointers from me.

[nerdyouare1]

I hope you know that you are made of awesome lol I know that you do quite a few covers and such. I didn't know if you had ever heard of Denison Witmer and the River Bends. You should check him out, the older stuff when he was with the River Bends. I think you would enjoy it. Hope all is well 8-)

[ChrisyMcCullagh83]

Hey Jim this a beautiful wee number.

[mymatryoshka]

great songggg.

[jimski123]

thanks alot man........I shouldnt be compared to fionn at all his guitar skills are far more original and advanced as mine...but thanks for the kind words.

[jelasings]

hi jimski,

i like your song very much- it makes such a nice and warm atmosphere! i like your singing -somehow in a soft, warm way and the guitar...wish i could play like you - but i only started two month ago with guitar-playing...posted my video- maybe you like to have a look at it- greetings from jelasings

[Spike02121973]

This is a wonderful song! You`ve got it man.

[ozziekhan]

[2wheelsturnin]

Nice mellow song, man. After I got done LMAO at your 'Dukes' cover I checked your page. Your fingerpicking is excellent.

[samuel588]

[ChyrsTello]

I think this absolutely wonderful...I'm feelin it Jimski.

[jimski123]

thank you very mucho.....Mr Roboto.

[contempt2600]

So much for "i dont have much of a voice and my instrumental skills are average." This one rocked, man.

It's cool to see originals because it really lets the person come out instead of having him hide behind someone else's song.

Very Nice

-Jon

[sidewalkchalkvission]

beautiful style!

[BlindStrings]

And you think you're not any good?

[JohnnieRadical]

Very modest...

I agree,

[dleeoriginals]

peace - Daniel

[PutzerLovesYou]

NICE! its good to see someone posting origional stuff for once and it sounds great. killer beard by the way

[Worrallthegreat]

Excellent playing man. I really like the chill guitar.

[nerdyouare1]

I love it! Nobody seems to understand how pure folk music is.. I love it. You are a great musician/singer/songwriter.

[led0berman]

[oceanbirth]

[KSUguy1]

[javierabegazo]

Where're you from in the States? just curious. I'm from Washington, but i grew up partly in NorthCarolina

[escuchandoelefantes]

Great song, very beautiful, and a nice voice.

[boostdet]

couldve been on the gardenstate ost.

[dleeoriginals]

hey jim, this sounds really great :D

[08DrAke08]

my favorite original by far. keep up the good work.

[IndieHeartStopper]

This was pretty amazing to listen to. This is the first song I've listened to by you, looking forward to hearing some more, this gave me the chills hah. Rare that a song does that.

Kat

[guitarwriter1]

very smooth and moving.

keep making more.

[ilovetheloveyou]

what are you using to record this?

[jimski123]

Fostex MKII digital 8 track and MXL mics.

[sandokas]

this is a great original. congratulation

[DardisMusic]

And now I can appreciate this one better (having watched one or two others) - initially I had thought it was a bit subdued but now it makes much more sense - very nice all in all. Great sound and ... naja, good work!

[bonkaband]

Nice Groove and smooth melody.

Great job!

[Tzason]

very awesome

[NoseCup]

Very Very Nice!!!

What type of mics are you using?

[ventouse]

I loooove it, I'd be glad to play cello with you!

[compleado]

wonderful.

[RinkyDink73]

Yet again Cheeky Chen gets it right! LOL

GREAT song, love your sound, look forward to hearing more! x

[feelgoodnation]

Hey there!

Cheekchen sent me! Great song!

Peace,

Angie

[yadi1998]

I loved this song. Cheeckychen sent me, by the way, I think he choose a great song for his video! Great talent!!!

[schabitu]

this is beautiful!

[lifeinacndyswrl]

Congrats this is awesome!

[hedlundman]

Great song! :) Congrats to you for winning cheekychen's competition!

[pukeythief]

This is really beautiful. Really truly.

[mettanc]

i came over from cheekychen.....what a great song and u sing it so very well. looks like u won his video contest thingy. i guess now he makes a video or something from this song.

good for u.

michael

[elysiumseeker]

I like this. You remind me of Jackson C Frank - Particularly a song called blues run the game. Similar picking. If you don't know him, check out his stuff. He's an old dude now though! Keep it up man.

[supercowman2001]

I really enjoyed this song, it makes me want to check out all your other work! keep it up

[wobinidan]

Boring, I don't think so. This is great!

[SilentDilemma]

Beautiful song, Jimski! Loved it.

- Steve

[Clapyourhandssayya]

Beautiful

[Ekrindul]

Like it very much. I would have called it "The Boy from Tennessee". Sees himself as cast that way, but is determined to be something more. That label is what stands out in his frustration. Strikes me as key to the song.

[CalumRoss3]

FUCKING HELL!! WOW. Thats all I can say, I found your Damien cover of to love somebody.. (Which was amazing by the way) But this song is amazing, you have just a beautiful voice as Mr. Rice and you play the guitar like a demon~!!! Keep at it Buddy!!!!

Calum =0)

[RamblinTroubadour]

this song isn't boring!! its great

[123michaelm123]

Very very nice work. It's got a Damien Rice/Ryan Adams feel to it...ever listen to them?  Awesome!

[cheekychen]

Hey Jimski, a sincere thank you for submitting this song. It's beautiful. I love folk, and your voice is fantastic. My only criticism is that you call it boring in the description.

Paul

[marshallq27]

Hey, thanks for the comment on my vid, now where can I buy your cd? lol.

[cheesepleaseNL]

I dig the sufjan style song, but I dig your beard even more

[pianki]

You are awesome at folk musicing. That is all I can say to you.

[jimski123]

thanks pianki

[rubyted79]

nice one jimski

[maxandchris15]

this is good

[LuisWahWah]

I love that full beard and mustache you have going on ^_^. it reminds me of The Beatles during their last years together.

[jimski123]

yes thats the second time if heard that...and its a great compliment...thanks

[donnylama]

excellent....  a real 5er..... great song......

[jimski123]

[thestankybuddha]

Goddamn, Jim. I actually got misty at my desk, I'm proud of you. Not to mention, that beard... fan fucking tastic, sir.

[jimski123]

whyd you get misty buddy, thanks though....and yes the beard its getting pretty buck wild lately

[GermGreen]

I love this song...it sounds like a sweetly crafted melange of Cat Stevens, The Beatles and Neil Young all rolled into one. This is a delicious little tune, my friend. :)

[jimski123]

Wow thats a really great compliment....i really appreciate it.

[led0berman]

like always ***** i love it keep it like that

[jimski123]

thanks ledob always nice to hear from you my friend

[Noradne]

hey there!

This is really nice you know. So saying it is boring is very evil ;) I love the sound of your guitar very much. So I will listen to more soon. Thanks to zzzzzzzap *g*

[TeamCannabis]

Wow! Great well written song, really love the lyric,and your guitar work is exceptional! Great sound as well, and your voice is easy on the ears. Nice work here, very original, Thank You very much...Reg

[vinas1959]

Not boring at all. Actually really good. Keep 'em coming my friend.

[frenchytouch]

that's great!and you look like paul Mccartney in 1969 when he performed on the roof with the other beatles..your song is awesome.

[jimski123]

wow well i take that as a huge compliment... because i usually get "you look like the uni-bomber" so good deal....thanks for listening

[frenchytouch]

yeah that was a compliment,that is so true,just look at the rooftop concert of the beatles!Whatever,your song is very nice,i keep listening to it!

[tgorup74]

You look like a dork, i want my money fool!

[KokoKaina]

Is it fair that i rated it again?

=S

Oh, sod fairness!

I like what i like and this, i like.

Thanks for sub'ing.

=)

[jimski123]

rate away my friend rate away!!!

[vmandanici]

This was great man!

[pmanmusicman]

Hey jimski, sounds like a great start on another original!! I hope your going to write more to it. Keep up the good work!

P.

[jimski123]

why thanks friend.....ill keep at it...when shall we expect another post from you good sir?

[weemanfitz]

Dude, you are the best! I'd love to jam with you, you could teach me a lot! You are so awesome, that I want to puke! ha ha, but seriously, remember the little youtubers who fell in love with your music in the beginning!

Late

[jimski123]

well i dunno about all that jazz.... you must have not slept much lately....lol but i appreciate it buddy.

[sceamon]

this is a great song

it eerily reminds me of a video i posted on that was later featured

nice work

[Arakaii]

Hey I like it bud! 5 to you my friend! Oh, and are you really from Tennessee or is that just part of the song? Anyways, this one is going in my "Favorite Originals" playlist.

[jimski123]

wow thanks alot....Id be honored to be on your favs ...and yes im from TN.

[Arakaii]

Oh, cool. I am too, that's why I asked. I still live in Tennessee.

[KokoKaina]

You've got yourself another subscriber! and this is going straight to favourites!

I am in absolute love with this.

[jimski123]

hahah....yes mine is the same way.....she digs your stuff as well...and shes really up front with her opinions on music I listen to.

[jimski123]

coming up with tunes is one thing.....writing something naturally doesnt exist with me....its about as forced as it can get....its not like im not passionate about anything because I am but putting it into words is hard for me i guess.

[zzzzzzzzap]

I know what you mean but it's certainly passed the test - my better half likes it, and if she likes it you've done well :) Peace

[jimski123]

lol its "real" alright...haha really rough. but thanks for the support brother.

[zzzzzzzzap]

see what I mean? ;)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Once more with feeling jimski ;) I'm going to be careful what I say. Re: the song - brilliant! I think the same thing with every one of your posts - .. I'm stuck for words but, real! No pretense, y'know? This is why I enjoy your style so much...

[zzzzzzzzap]

Right: the performance. I think that the reason you seem so harsh on yourself is that you go into it thinking it's a disaster. I could be getting you wrong but.. 'untitled original'?, calling it 'kinda boring'. I'm no one to comment but I think if you started to believing in what you were doing you'd start to love writing and put out some incredible music. I know it's in you jimski, and I mean this with the best will in the world. All the best buddy. Your number 1 fan, Kris

[zzzzzzzzap]

As for marks out of 10, as I say jimski ~ there's a reason I keep coming back to your channel and that's cos you're real. Love it! So, what's next? Peace
