@JRFortson777 This is the song I'm going to be walking down the aisle to--I wouldn't mind hearing the faster version :) It is my favorite song and likely will be for the rest of my life. Thank you for bringing this great soul into the world.
@MrGabrielHF I agree! Seems like all I've listened to since 2008 is his music :) At first I thought it was b/c he was my son, but I knew it was great music. So cool to see his fan base grow, and world agree with my opinion? You cannot believe how many blogs, reviews, articles, comments, etc x10 that ppl say his music makes them FEEL better?!? It does for me too, and I tell him all the time. He's got some AWESOME new songs in the works! Take care ~ Rick or DrPencil.com
I sure am! Wikipedia Andrew. You will see he was born Drew Fortson. AB is a stage name. I'm a huge fan too, so it's neat that way too!! His new CD out early 2013 is insanely good, based on the demos I've heard! You have much to look fwd to!! ~ DrPencil com
@JRFortson777 I love your son's songs. He has something else that not a lot of musicians have. This one song is actually one of my favorites even if I like it even more with the piano. Im sure you are but still you should be very proud of your son he is hell of a musician. Thank him for me please because anytime I feel bad his songs help me. :)
Ya..it ay be my fav song? He sings a faster version he did when he first wrote it, which I like better. I'm trying to talk him into doing that fast version for his B sides cd due out in the near future. It's about falling in love with his GF while most of the other songs on the ladder about a previous break up. I should know, I'm his dad :)
it's basically a thumb-index strumming. he gently plucks the thicker strings with his thumb and then he goes down with the index, up down up down up down. but he uses mostly the tip of the index, the nail specifically to do the higher strum on the second time he goes down. kinda hard to explain it with words.
This song and artist is so under-appreciated. What an amazing talent!
Just heard for the first time on the show Virginia River. Instantly touched. It made me want to fly into my old self... used to be me.
Same here...
Just heard this on Virgin Riven and had to search it on TH-cam ✌️
Damn I miss my old self as well mate
