One of the cleanest players of the "new" breed of players. And altough his technical skill is impeccable. He dont use the guitar to show of. He use it to say something. Love man.
Seriously. It moves me in a way that I can't even describe in words. I'm going to start crying every time I hear it cuz of its beauty and it makes me funeral home sick or something like I'm already home it's like a longing it's painful but I can't stop listening to it. It's not really the way I can describe it I don't have the words to describe one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. Each part is just perfect.
It's pieces like these, that gets you with your guitar, and makes you play all day, sitting on your couch without ever getting tired. So inspiring. So magical.
I agree so much with you. Been playing this one for two weeks so far. I'm still learning the parts. It's incredible how ethereal it feels to play it over and over again. It's never tiring. It's always exciting!
Calum Graham's music is soooo transcendent, so exquisitely composed and executed, it takes me away and into a place of sheer joy! He is definitely one of today's finest musician/composers. I look forward to listening to his work for many years to come. Very inspiring!
A beautiful piece that requires eyes closed to really capture the essence and be taken to the place that only the minds eye and a song of this caliber can take you! Well done Calum my musical friend, thanks for sharing your gifts with the World!
I really admire the guys who are playing fingerstyle for the beautiful music rather than the technical show-up. Brilliant music, Calum, please keep on!
Inspires my gratitude for every loving experience in life - a prayer of thankfulness to the Creator for my breath, loves of my life, and even the ability to hear and appreciate music. Take nothing for granted! Thanks Calum!
The song is beautiful, but the tones and overall percussion just blow me away. I've been playing guitar for a long time and this is how the instrument should sound. It is captured so beautifully. From every accent to every subtle nuance this is pure sonic emotion.
when im having a panic attack for no reason i just sit myself down and listen to calum graham and all of a sudden all the shit in life just doesn't matter anymore
You’re having a panic attack because you haven’t listened to callum graham in too long of a time. It’s like going to long without eating or sleeping. It’s just part of what a person needs for homeostasis.
I kept coming back to this piece of music even after many years. It is still so beautiful, magical and calming to listen to it as I did the first time. Calum is a really amazing storyteller through his music..
@@mustafakaratas7326 I came back for Calum and checked out the songs you posted. If you ever read this I wanted to say thank you! Amazing music my friend I was blown away with those artists.
@@goodndead8064 no problem dude ,for me this guys are on top (about original compositions) especially dylan ryche and calum Also if you check my channel I will be very happy
Truly beautiful tone - sublime composition. Your genre of music will never set the charts ablaze, but I don't know why people aren't getting you to score their films.
As a musician all my life and career it is the most beautiful piece of excellence that has ever entered my life. I get tears that come and I don't want it to end.
Absolutely gorgeous. What separates Calum from most is not his obvious technical skill but the feeling, the emotion he puts into every note. I read where he is working on a new album and will be touring the states, sometime in 2016. I can not wait. I shall travel a long way to see the best young guitarist I have heard in a very long time.
I started listening to Calum about a year ago, and to this day ,it still brings a tear to my each and every time I listen.I love to write in many of the same tunings as Calum, and Michael H.but none compare to this kind of feeling and beauty. It blows my mind that my experience covers 50 years, while Calum's is considerably shorter. When you hear a gift like his , take it for what it is, a gift .I am such a huge fan! Thanks , Calum.
As you listen and watch this young mans face, it's obvious that he knows what a beautiful thing he is creating with his artistry on the guitar. Sheer joy to see.
That Is the BEST Sounding Acoustic Guitar I have ever heard and such a Passionate Beautiful composition and flawless Soulful effortless execution!!! Calum, God has Blessed you with such a Mighty and Soul touching a Gift! Of all the players out there that play in this style you are at the very top with just a handful of other Great Artist!!! Also that guitar had awesome tones! Beautiful bass, mids and highs! God Bless You! When I hear your music it inspires me to play more. I would love to meet you someday! Just keep doing what you do and hello from Louisiana!!
When I stopped playing Metal songs I tried some of Calum's songs... It's so Beautiful that even I am having a hard time playing it... His melodies are awesome.
I'm glad Calum plays in a sane manner and plays music that a trained ear can appreciate. Modern music caters to untrained ears and kids. But this man plays beautiful music, and like was said does not use it to show off.
Its so special to hear a composition that is both technically entertaining but also most importantly a moving emotional experience. I almost cried at the end of the video because it was so beautiful. Monumental props to you Calum Graham. Keep on writing songs that make me want to cry:) lol
I love how that “hopeful” feeling was conveyed by this song! Musically genius! Been listening to this song for a thousand times over already. I keep going back to this song whenever I want to feel that feeling of hopefulness and just that feeling of stepping out unto the unknown bearing that hope. 😌
OK, so Antoine Dufour, Andy McKee, and Don Ross have an equal now, for sure. Great job Calum! I love your duet(s) with Don Ross too - their is definitely intuitive anticipation between you two!
Hey man, I wanted to let you know that you're an inspiration. Im probably around your age, I've been playing my whole life, and to see someone young killing it like this is really a great motivator. Also there is something about this song that gets to me. Very pretty and incredibly well written; you have some incredible phrasing. A lot of time when guitarists have the technical abilities that you do, they tend to write songs showcasing that and not necessarily writing songs which incorporate them the "right" amount haha idk either way you're the man. Im going to sit down and learn this song. If you're ever in New York City you have a lot of musicians here who would be honored to jam with you.
so many good finger picking guitarists but calum is the NEW BREED. Feels so soothing hearing his songs.please make more tutorials so we all can follow you :)
I can't describe how much your songs mean to me! I really love your style, you inspire me so much:) Thanks for that and keep going mate! Can't wait for more songs!
Reminds me of my dearest friend & brother "Jack" who I used to listen to this with countless times! Now he's in another country... I wish u the best buddy ❤️
Dude when I heard this I emediately subbed your channel. I play metal but would love to play like what you play. So skillful and soulful. I'm in awe dude.
Wow! I woke up to this tune today, it's a peacefull 3:30 AM on a saturday morning here and my weekend is happening...coffee, this music, wow...thanks for posting...
Wow!,....doesn't get any sweeter than this piece of guitar genius,..definitely hear a bit of similarity to McKee's "Rylynn" another beautiful peice of guitarmastery. Jean Larrivee's has to be beaming,...that big jumo Larrivee's voice is as good as guitars get,....scoot over Jim Olson & Kevin Ryan!
this tune is absolutely amazing. i purchased the tab and couldn't help but notice you play it quite a bit differently at parts but i guess that's just how music is. really looking forward to learning it. all the best, a new fan!
Such a gentle, sad melody, I always see the mist rolling in to the harbour where I live, think of walking the coast with my wife one winter, years ago..I will always miss her. But nice one Calum, keep em coming.
everything what I heard on this channel is million times better than actually famous music stars so my advice to you is take a music revolution and discard false stars from their thrones
Its's really great to watch calum graham's perfection at playing guitar. Dear Graham, I watch your videos again and again during coding sessions and for serene time. I would like to thank you and big thumbs up to your work, you are truly a great artist.
Really getting in to this tuning Callum:) Surprisingly, not too difficult to play at all!! Some great harmonics possible with it, thanks for putting me on to it mate, i love alternate tunings. Nicely played bud:)
SixthSense05 Not true, Sungha does originals actually. 2 that i can name right now are Nostalgia and The milky way, both really beautiful songs. But either way both of these guitarist's are amazing :)
Sungha is a bit over rated imo, he is insanely skilled but I don't think he got the right feeling in his playing, feels robotic but still thousands of times better than me tho :p
I really don't understand why people dislike this music and his performance. It is absolutely a very well done performance. Chapeau!!!!! The ones who disliked his performance? Please try it for yourself. Try to play and feel his music.
Listening for the umpteenth time. Really this song has got me thinking about the life we have inside of us. How do I know that Jesus really existed? I am convinced because he knows everything about the nature of my heart. He knew me and told me so... Now I listen to Calum Graham and believe that he and his music was just one of the created things. We get to enjoy this guitarist and his dream of a song. Thinking for a Change...
***** Thank you for the advice Hitchens quote. I agree with him on this count and respond with this quote from another great thinker: “So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.” ― Malcolm Muggeridge, Vintage Muggeridge: Religion and Society

+Max Steiner I totally agree with you
I strongly agree with you bro.
And yet he is not afraid to switch gears and kill everyone with Phoenix Rising when the need arises
So so true!! Beautiful
Great comment man
He was 22 years old when this was recorded. Outstanding talent.
Years go by and I never tire of hearing this amazingly beautiful piece of music. It remains my favorite.
Seriously. It moves me in a way that I can't even describe in words. I'm going to start crying every time I hear it cuz of its beauty and it makes me funeral home sick or something like I'm already home it's like a longing it's painful but I can't stop listening to it. It's not really the way I can describe it I don't have the words to describe one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. Each part is just perfect.
Even his name is cool. This was fantastic!
I agree , Cool name , awesome song . Enjoyed that a lot :)
Caeleb.
Andrew Love to see you here
Love your music too man
He is Calum Graham.
The man is a damn genius. A songwriter first and guitarist second.
It's pieces like these, that gets you with your guitar, and makes you play all day, sitting on your couch without ever getting tired. So inspiring. So magical.
spot on
💯
I agree so much with you. Been playing this one for two weeks so far. I'm still learning the parts. It's incredible how ethereal it feels to play it over and over again. It's never tiring. It's always exciting!
Ive been working on this song for ahwile i can play it but to get it spot on perfect can be difficult.
@@jorgenicolasbustamante4079 i agree
I'm a grown ass man and this song STILL gets me all choked up almost every time. Beautifully written and executed.
What kind of sorcery is this? Majestic playing, beautiful.
I still consider this his finest piece of music. The melody and harmony is amazing.
I can't put in words what I feel about it. It's impossible it's happening something I don't know what it is it's painfully beautiful.
It's impossible not to get sucked completely into his play after one second of hearing. That's brilliant.
Who would dare click the dislike button???
This is magic in musical form!
In 2020 ...never gets old 💞
not at all
Yessir
Agreed
it never does. try listening with headphones while your winding down for the evening. gives me goosebumps everytime
@@alexmuzio23 r8
I wish I could give likes 1000 times when I hear the soothness and beautiful composition ❣️
After 7 years, still amazed
It makes everything in life okay☀️
Calum Graham's music is soooo transcendent, so exquisitely composed and executed, it takes me away and into a place of sheer joy! He is definitely one of today's finest musician/composers. I look forward to listening to his work for many years to come. Very inspiring!
A beautiful piece that requires eyes closed to really capture the essence and be taken to the place that only the minds eye and a song of this caliber can take you! Well done Calum my musical friend, thanks for sharing your gifts with the World!
This is so beautiful I could cry.
Well Mister Calum, your guitaring is damn close to a direct connection to pure beauty ! Don´t ever loose that gift, you are one of the few !!!!
I really admire the guys who are playing fingerstyle for the beautiful music rather than the technical show-up. Brilliant music, Calum, please keep on!
One of the most beautiful 5 minutes my ears have ever experienced.
Wow. Flows like a gentle stream. Very beautiful!
Inspires my gratitude for every loving experience in life - a prayer of thankfulness to the Creator for my breath, loves of my life, and even the ability to hear and appreciate music. Take nothing for granted! Thanks Calum!
The song is beautiful, but the tones and overall percussion just blow me away. I've been playing guitar for a long time and this is how the instrument should sound. It is captured so beautifully. From every accent to every subtle nuance this is pure sonic emotion.
This is the difference between guitar playing and a guitar speaking! I love it, Calum. Thank you.
Steve Wolfe very well said man!!
when im having a panic attack for no reason i just sit myself down and listen to calum graham and all of a sudden all the shit in life just doesn't matter anymore
Jesus Christ is a better way, the ONLY way!!!

You’re having a panic attack because you haven’t listened to callum graham in too long of a time. It’s like going to long without eating or sleeping. It’s just part of what a person needs for homeostasis.
Yes. I understand what you’re saying. His music brings you to another space in the universe
The perfect acoustic song. Just perfection exemplified. Wow
I have listened to this song many times and I keep coming back.
I'm pretty sure I account for about 5,000 of the hits on this video. This song is so beautiful.
This is the healing moment we all need.
You would have to dislike music itself, to dislike this. Seriously amazing.
I kept coming back to this piece of music even after many years. It is still so beautiful, magical and calming to listen to it as I did the first time. Calum is a really amazing storyteller through his music..
If this isn't the nicest acoustic guitar song in the world I don't know what is.

This song is one of the best I've listened this year! Sublime!!!
Ever since Michael Hedges died, I have been seeking that same spirit in sound. I found it today.
Truly beautiful tone - sublime composition. Your genre of music will never set the charts ablaze, but I don't know why people aren't getting you to score their films.
I mean... Honestly, this is remarkable. Truly, one of the greatest compositions I have ever heard on the guitar alone.
Calum has inspired me greatly.
As a musician all my life and career it is the most beautiful piece of excellence that has ever entered my life. I get tears that come and I don't want it to end.

Ever since he made a post about his new song on facebook. I caught myself listening to this beautiful piece on a daily basis.
The bass note at 1:08......pro dude, absolute merc 👍

This is song gets better every time I listen to it. Really special!

beeing able to express yourself in such a way you give others shivers all over is all what music is about

Still watching this video in 2019.. never get old ❤️
This is so awesome...my father passed away last week, and this song reminds me of him and makes me smile. Thank you
Its so special to hear a composition that is both technically entertaining but also most importantly a moving emotional experience. I almost cried at the end of the video because it was so beautiful. Monumental props to you Calum Graham. Keep on writing songs that make me want to cry:) lol
Only in my wildest dreams could I play like this. Simply amazing.
I love the melodies,
Great playing,
Great composing,
This music has spirit. I love it.
Wow, what space he creates, and so clean. Beautiful
Such passion. Much beautiful.
his ability to hit the harmonics like that is amazing. great tune!
This should be in a romantic movie somewhere. Simply beautiful.
Love how it doesn’t even need words to speak to your soul
still today...listening 2021! never slept on this dude. fuckin' amazing! defo gets me in my feels. love love love
So good to hear a new style finger picker who plays tunes with structure, melody, harmonies and most of all feeling!
Great tune beautifully played.
this wonderful play you made have bring me positive side in life and i thank you for that!
I love how that “hopeful” feeling was conveyed by this song! Musically genius! Been listening to this song for a thousand times over already.

when someone is resolved to accepting a love forever lost... i imagine this is what it would sound like when told through music... beautiful.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Oh my freaking god. I could listen to this on repeat for a year straight and never get sick of it.

Been listening to this none stop on my ipod, really helping me through stuff at the moment, beautiful piece of music, thanks Calum! :)
Best of luck with whatever you're trying to get through at this time! God bless!
the fact that humans can even create music such as this, is incredible.... this is super emotional this track great piece ...
I can't describe how much your songs mean to me! I really love your style, you inspire me so much:) Thanks for that and keep going mate! Can't wait for more songs!

A beautiful piece and a handsome musician, I am all yours ;-)
Absolutely beautiful. You are a very gifted person, Calum. Thank you for sharing your gift from Elohim with us.

Have you finished learning it? :)
I tried learning it by ear. I got as far as the first verse but life got in the way. Got separated from my guitars for years.
@@jordanmntungwa3311 Never too late to start playing again. It is one of the few true feelings of magic in the world.

Definitely one of the best fingerstyle songs I've heard in recent times!!!
Personal favorite.
you just can't explain with more love and passion what "waiting" means with a guitar.
Looks like Sungha's got some competition ;) . Great job!
Nope, Don't think so.. this guy wrote his own songs.. Sungha doesn't but doing cover of other people's song..
SixthSense05 Not true, Sungha does originals actually. 2 that i can name right now are Nostalgia and The milky way, both really beautiful songs. But either way both of these guitarist's are amazing :)
Sungha is a bit over rated imo, he is insanely skilled but I don't think he got the right feeling in his playing, feels robotic but still thousands of times better than me tho :p
Tuning doesn't matter...And who cares about technicality? Beautiful music is beautiful music.
Sungha's way overrated because people have been dick riding him since he was a child prodigy.
I really don't understand why people dislike this music and his performance. It is absolutely a very well done performance. Chapeau!!!!! The ones who disliked his performance? Please try it for yourself. Try to play and feel his music.
