Love it. It's been a month or so since, I've listened to every track on gems on VHS I haven't heard . This is the stand out one. Which is saying something as they are all top quality.
@@GemsOnVHS Life's rolling forward, and music too. Hope to see you here or there sooner rather than later! Thanks for all you keep doing for all of us.

Aussies have good folk music too, representing us very well Kyle
Never thought I’d see my city on gems. Nice one Kyle
Melbourne stand up!!
Was not expecting that at all
Well it's a damned blessing
Never heard of this guy but I’m impressed, he’s a really good songwriter, Thanks For Sharing GEMS, Have A Blessed Weekend.
If you haven't already, check out "Marlboro Man", "Long time Coming", and "The Town that couldn't quite". He's got some really good stuff.
Check out “Dying with a smile” and “self control”
Totally awesome songwriter!!

He plays it in Half-step down tuning with Capo on 2, you can play it in Standard with Capo on 1 as well though
The choppy feeling is quite important for this, the magic's in the left hand, muting the chords when it fits
When the F is played, do a little hammer-on-pull-off on the G string (0h2p0) to get the sound
The studio version is half step lower, so Capo on 1 in Half step down tuning or without Capo on standard

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I can only hold my head so high
Before I lose it
I can only breathe in so much pride
Before it's a sin
[Chorus]
One step after the next
Just hoping I don't fall
God damn
Such a long way to go
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I can only stand up for so long
My back will give out
I just don't know which way I should go
It's dog eat dog out there
[Chorus]
But every dog has it's day
And I'm waiting on mine to show
God damn
Such a long way to go
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
My days have become too much to say
I need something more
These lights don't stay on by themselves
Last I recall
[Chorus]
If life is one big highway
Then I broke down on the side of the road
God damn
Such a long way to go
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Keep trucking, one day I might get lucky
So they tell me
But I can't rely on that to help me
Not anymore
[Chorus]
If I stay as I am
I'll never get a taste of it
God damn
That's life I guess
Its dog-eat-dog, not doggy dog you dunce

Well, goddamn!
Good tune and good name for a cold frosty 👍
So happy he still made it on here!
Kyle Brew,
I will be listening for more. Your picking style reminds me of Justin Townes Earle.
Thanks for the video!
I'm so glad to see Kyle on here. Been following him since he first auditioned.
It was bound to happen
I remember seeing his Marlboro Man submission. That one and Pine and Fire's were my favorites.
