I'm a big fan Jason, but G major? That made me sad. Great playing and great voice.

[JasonRobertBrown]

@coynecompositions Why not G major? That's the key I wrote it in originally!

This is a fantastic Chanukah gift...

Jason, you are one of the most talented composers and performers who has ever lived through my eyes. It is my dream to work with you one day. I love hearing you play and sing your own pieces!!!

[TheodoraEtc]

Jason, this is unbelievable. I've played Cathy in The Last 5 Years, just am amateur production, but your music is incredibly difficult for vocalists, and i've also attended a vocal workshop where one of my friends (a very talented tenor) sang this song, and you put every other performance of it to shame, because it sounds so effortless and natural. I have no words for how inspiring this is. I hope you continue to write magical music like this. And perform more of it yourself! ~Theodora

[QuartanAidan]

Thumbs up if the opening riff nearly gives you a heart attack.

Fucking amazing.

[TheRealJuKo]

I honestly and genuinely want to know how you can compose music like this. those chords are simply amazing, and you can sing magnificently as well.

[TheSpantasy]

This is incredible. No matter what key it's in.

[AMichaelBray]

Yeah, G major is already high enough. Not everybody is Billy Porter :)

[citcat299]

I believe I have developed a massive crush on you after just watching that. *crazy stalker alert!* *crazy stalker alert!* Love ~ a girl who wishes she could compose as well as you do.
