[jchung49]

Been a while, but glad to see you are still creating some fantastic music. I love this song! Think it stands out pretty special, and that means a lot since most of your music is great.

Keep it up! Much appreciated !

[giizer]

just stumbled on your work and WOW, great stuff. BTW, I love the supporting instruments...like Ukulele! Your the artist and the music is right when you say it's right! As a listener, I would say you hit it out of the park!

[SaraSail]

[CasualDaveDotCom]

I will not dream of bunnies

I will not dream of bunnies!!!

[GreenBeanDene]

[nigel1866]

there is already too many john mayers

[ClearReception]

As always zap you never let me down!

[bettycoool]

You're awesome, keep up the great work!

[gregonline6506]

hey chris, I use to like your work. This song is... oh man, simply trash it. Restart. Then I will surely buy also your second CD!

(honestly, too much "desafinado" in this song)

[gregonline6506]

hmm, maybe this comment was not really professional, sry. Well then, I will try to explain myself: The song might be fine, but the arrangement has some problems IMHO. I don´t like the ukulele, even if the instrument is lovely, it does sound strange to me in this song. Next point is the second voice, that seems to be out of tune in some parts. Don´t hate me mate, I love your music, but I can´t help writing this ;-)

[bribricoop]

Beautiful song.

[adwilsh]

hey mr rowley ( kris) its adam from the school band. your vid is great :). thanks for the help with the band your the best. THANK YOU :D

[gor3ykorey]

cool :D

[gersing]

Hey Buddy, long wait but you always make quality music. Your voice is awesome. I said it before.. but yeah..

Gersing

[ScribbleTunes]

Good to see a new video from you, I still love your voice!

[LopeztheGypsy]

You're a more contemporary Nick Drake, minus all the harmonies lol. I'm feeling the beat to this song. This is cute :)

[koreanknight]

A new song! Love it. I decided to stop listening to radio the other day - it's mostly crap now. This is where the real music is at. Keep it up.

[ClairTheCucumber]

Man, its been a good 3 years since I stumbled upon your work. I now am a huge fan and even own your album. Every song gives me chills. Thank you.

[bluejay1025]

First song is up. Will you check it out? It's just a piece of it. But tell me what you think okay?

[Marcblur]

The quality just keeps getting better! Will you ever tour the U.S.?

[ZachJank]

First off, it's been a while! Glad to see you putting more stuff up on here, and I look forward to the website.

Second, I have a request. Listening to my shuffle today, and a particular song brought your voice to mind.

I think you should try to do a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright Right'. I look forward to hearing it if you get around to it.

Cheers.

[UsmcKlingbeil]

Dude, mega good and awsome song. Haha. YOu have HUGE talent. I myself Play the guitar(suck at it) and try to write songs. Good luck with everything though. =)

[metamurph]

great sound, song, production, love to see this on an album

[zzzzzzzzap]

cheers for that, metamurph. glad you enjoyed and thanks for the suggestion

[onechopwabbit]

nice sounds come in to my ears and i feel whole for a little while again. i will need more though soon. get to work.

[zzzzzzzzap]

ok boss

[leoinnocentcriminal]

Magnifique... Very good song.. You are on the right way ^^

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Ah... Finally! So glad to have you back, my Friend. And back in true form. You are genius at working a phrase:

"Are you blind or can't you see it?"

Blind - blinds; alternating sight and concealment. Your chorus echos the same in the way every alternating line expresses anticipation followed by a negation. Subconscius or planned, it is nevertheless wonderfully satisfying! Clever how you title this piece "Smile" only to serve it up as a dare!

(continued ---> )

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

These thoughtful touches and your superb execution, both instrumental and vocal are what define your unique gift. Thank you for coming back, Kris. We have sincerely missed you and your talent.

~Jon

[zzzzzzzzap]

I think I prefer actually reading your comments to writing, singing and recording songs, Jon. You know you're the only reason I post stuff up here on YouTube :-P

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Aw geez... Thanks you, Buddy! But if you don't write, how can I comment???

;-)

[MasterThief1324]

HI. I just started learning about rhythm and would LIke to know the time signature of this song.

[daveberm]

12/8

[jerrymontanomusic]

It's really good to hear a new song Kris! This is a nice tune and I definitely look forward to getting your next album! ~ Take care, Jerry (formerly known as "jerrynstephanie")

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers Jerry

[SeansCafe]

Damn good!!

[DanTheDamnManDan]

Contact lenses caused me to almost punch my mirror, which could have caused a broken hand and a medical bill. They are dangerous.

[zzzzzzzzap]

good call on not punching that mirror

they should come with a health warning

[Peedey2089]

Love it man :)

Reminded me of Damien Rice

[zzzzzzzzap]

Cheers mate

Really diggin your stuff

[wiretwanger3]

Superb work Kris, good to have you back.

Cheers ~ Lee

[mhjhaveri]

AWESOME! that is a definite hit..! could you give me some singing tips? you're really good! 5/5

Check out my original song too! The video name is "Walking All Alone - Original"

[zzzzzzzzap]

Me giving out singing tips would be like George Bush giving lectures on how not to be an arsehole!

[gaya33bdx]

that's a smashing hit !

thanks you for this exquisite song !

[stufish4040]

Excellent. Great lyrics and chords, cool voice and phrasing :] 5*****

[moderndukes]

Great song. Great singing. I dig your lyrics like "Where'd it go?

Shadows where I ought to know"

[bluejay1025]

This is one of hte most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I'm a singer/songwriter too. So I am glad to see legiaemly talented people on youtube.

[VilleCoeur]

YOU'RE BACK! AFTER BEING GONE FOR SO LONG!

I'm so happy. Your music makes me smile!

[zzzzzzzzap]

[LeeshaHarvey]

No, it's a melodica!  Right? :-)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Wow Kris, I don't think it's possible for you to write a bad song. All your stuff rocks! Your voice sounds great. Love the harmonies and the... accordion, is it...?

[zzzzzzzzap]

Oh, it is possible Leesha, believe me =)

Yeah, you're right with the melodica. I'd forgotten I had it but it gave me what I was after

hope you're well

[FoxofNight]

*happy dance* I love this song, possibly more than any of the others. It's great to hear new music from you! Yay.

Cool lyrics, by the way.

[zzzzzzzzap]

I love your comment =)

[buniluvr]

Wow! You've created an EPIC masterpiece. Love the layered harmonies.  Sweet!

cheers

[zzzzzzzzap]

thanks muchly, buniluvr

[embrionproducciones]

A refreshing change Kris. I'd just have liked more vibratos and an octave higher on the "You'd better not smile" repetitions at the end. Just as a personal perk I really liked how you repeated it and at the beginning you say " I don't want to repeat it" Great work.

[zzzzzzzzap]

thanks for the feedback

I'm not sure I could have reached a whole octave up but your comment gives me food for thought

cheers

[eyesfrank]

yay been waiting soooooooo long, really nice mate cheery :) thanks.

[captainburrito]

Fantastic work, my friend. It is about time....

[zzzzzzzzap]
