@4spd4evr It has another meaning. It also talks about coming to the final home and meeting the savior and your family. We sing this at my church in our little group and I love his version too. If you ever hear it sung, listen to the words.

I have watched this young man for many years now. He was absolutely great the very first time I witnessed him play in Central City Ky, at the thumbpicking contest. He was disqualified for too much excessive thumb use in a song. I still ponder this one. But this I do know, He is a fine as person as He is a great guitar player. And he is truly a great guitarist

I don't want Rattled Assasin to get ahead of me. I take lessons from Wesley as well. But, I can't play like that............... yet!

Seriously, impressive! My Dad used to sing this song as part of a trio in Ukrainian (apparently it's been translated to many languages over the years). It was made into a more Christian song with the lyrics but the main message is still the same and does have a positive interpretation as well after highlighting the sadness.

It sounds so mysterious. So beautiful. So pure.

put the hairs standin on the back of my neck... fantastic finger work on the guitar an u can't beat natural talent!!!!

@RattledAssasin The predominant emotion isn't Woe Is Me, but I'm Coming Home.

HI all i just watched this 2 times and i think he played the song a little fast
and like someone else said it lacks emotion. But i have to say the guys a great guitar player and if he slowed it down a bit and put some feeling into it would be alot better. I just wish i had his talent then i would show him how to play it lol.

as great as he plucks it, he really missed the feeling... maybe he hasn't suffered enough to understand such a sad song?

Why does the song have to be sad and full of suffering? Maybe he intended the song to be a Happy Interpretation - imagine that - taking a sad song and turning it into a Happy song. This man puts feeling into every song he plays - how do I know? - I take lessons from him - great guy and an amazing guitar player.
