    One of the most underrated singers of all times. His voice is like an angel...taking me places that I'd love to stay at forever. I could listen to this voice forever. And this song...on this night...I relate. It's as if I am at one with all of this. Beautiful....

    I first heard Dishwalla when I was in the military probably almost 24 years ago. Back when you had to go to a music store and I put those headphones on to test out a CD and listened to some samples of “and you think you know what life’s about.”Every time I hear this it brings me back to Arizona. So much love for this album. Please keep it up!

    Met JR in Tallahassee after a concert at Floyd's. He sat with us for a good while and was so real, kind and present. This song gave words to a time of depression in my life and brought me company. I have a close and loving family, but this song sat next to me in a different way. JR has one of the most phenomenal voices on this planet. His writing is beyond brilliant. Can't wait to see him live again one day. Thank you so much, JR. I and this Universe are grateful for you.

      I absolutely agree. I love the album Opaline and Somewhere In the Middle takes me back to some great years. That song is my favorite rock song along with Give. JR's voice is so unique. He turned me on to live music. Before him I wasn't a fan of live music. It took buying and listening to "Live... Greetings from the Flow State" to get me in to live music. Now I cannot get enough of his live music.

    I discovered Dishwalla over 25 years ago and my introduction to them was "Once in a while". I remember I was visiting St. Louis, MO and I heard it on the radio. I was hooked. I discovered counting blue cars much later. I used to play 'And you think you know what life's about' album on repeat. That was my jam for a number of months.
    Your voice, songwriting and compositions are what made all the difference. One of the best voices in the industry in the last 30+ years, no doubt.
    Thank you for all the wonderful and timeless music. It is a massive part of my life.

    Dear. JR.Richards. Hello! I'm fifteen years old and I live in south korea. Although this is my first youtube comment that I'm making on your videos (also this is my first youtube comment ever), I can say with confidence that your songs mean the world to me. angles or devils, somewhere in the middle, candle burn and untill I wake up are my favorite songs in the entire world.....It seems likely that I will never meet you in person, but I just wanted you to know that your music helped me grow up and I can't express this enough but I really really love your music. It helped me through my worst times with my family and friends... but you kept me strong.. I love you so much. seriously so much. I hope you keep doing music. 사랑해요!! (This means I love you in my native language. Also excuse my bad English. We don't speak English in my country) looking forward to listening to more music of yours, bye!

I truly miss the 80s and 90s...and even the early 2000s for that matter...I never thought that you were underrated either...I remember every time a Dishwalla song was on the radio...the DJ would always say "this guy has an amazing voice" ...Most great Talents usually come before their time...You came around "Somewhere In The Middle" ..God Bless..

    Thank you for writing this song. It's what helped me fall asleep during a really difficult time 20 years ago when a childhood friend took her life. I couldn't sleep for a week until I gave her eulogy and said my goodbyes. This song (well, the original album arrangement that I had on CD at the time) gave me a sense enough of peace that I could let go of the sadness of the day long enough to rest.

    I've said it for years, Dishwalla was one of the best bands from the 90's and didn't get the recognition deserved for it. Everyone knows "Counting Blue Cars", I remember my excitement hearing songs I recognized immediately in movies and TV shows, and of course seeing Dishwalla on stage at a bar in Charmed. I love Dishwalla even to this day.

    Absolutely beautiful version! Thank you for being honest about your history with depression. I've had a recent bout with the hell of it - It's such an extremely lonely and defeating battle. I had listened to the earlier versions of this song as it represented how I felt even before I knew why you wrote it. You don't want another day of disappointment. Your only want your mind to stop beating you down. Fortunately I have been able to help others (with empathy) since I am now a nurse in a psychiatric facility and I see the same battles starting in teens and destroying lives. It is so sad to see lives wasting away and the stigma of mental despair makes them want to hide away. I will be there for them just as you have opened up. Thanks again!

    A+. Mood, vibe, tone, melody, haunting guitar and wide vocal range from gentle to anthemic. The restraint is what builds the tension.
