Alexi Murdoch - The Light (Her Hands Were Leaves)

[@mynameisben853]

The world needs to hear this song.

[@amixofeverything]

Perfect. There is nobody who writes music like he does today.

[@michelearmatore8641]

cansoni di soi luna

[@pedrocubillos4939]

This is, in my opinion, by far, the best perfomance of Alexi. Never seen another artist like him, go beyond any explanation, and believe me, I've tried.

[@doc-vg9lq]

when he talks about his father i tear up every time. reminds me of my dad who passed away. it always gives me this image of my dad not remembering or knowing who he was in some afterlife place.

[@ibrahimissaiaawad2888]

I admire your authentic expression of self, and others

[@cjjvids]

Absolutely beautiful. This is what real music is. A piece of his soul.

[@andrewat13]

Such a talented man. Makes me want to start writing songs again

[@jasonjones3436]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@thestuffoflife88]

My Lord. How lovely. I can't se m to get over it. So haunting and beautiful Thank you, Alexi. Thank you

[@psypunker89]

[@fpwinescouting3278]

This is problably the most inspirational song I ever heard.

[@HimanshuVora]

This guy is very cool. Got to hear all his songs now.

[@Nelsononearth]

[@fromdusktilldawn862]

I love his songs .. he soul is pure

[@MrLittlefeat]

I'm really lost for word's with this.

[@pedrocubillos4939]

When he says "I see the Island...." I go to that Island, I swear I'm there...

[@independentmusicstage]

Added to our Singer-Songwriter playlist! Many thanks Alexi!

[@CoachStefanRudolph]

Speaks deeply and resonates beyond belief with me from my journey in trying to reach out to my father for 10 years after finding out I had a half-brother I never knew about :( but with his song and words of wisdom it brings..."Light" :)

[@XtremeCoreShubham]

I hope you met your half brother. Touchy lines.

[@carlose0318]

this song means so much to me. both from the memory it evokes and the lyrics that tie so perfectly into that memory. in a way thats what the song is about...remembering those closest to you and admiring their individual journeys on this place we call earth

[@SoyBrig]

Love. This and everything he does.

[@Brulserz]

He is a legend.

[@thestuffoflife88]

Thank you for something so lovely

[@sirkennyobrien]

Tallest Man On Earth and Alexi Murdoch on a song together would be incredible

16/03/2019: it's a strange thing to be this way---magnificent and quotidian-"dove, snake and swine" are the ingredients that stir all night in my bed, and wake me up in the morning to an unholy trinity. Mother, father and brother…it's the same thing over and over "At once I knew I was not magnificent…". It'll be spring soon.

[@blueboyjournal]

16/09/2024: ^ that was in my first month in this place. I'm in my last one here. Over the weekend I started taking this place apart, and wept and laughed till the juice ran. Last month, at the Dean's breakfast, the speaker said all us would-be doctors are two things at once: ordinary and extraordinary. And that's what I meant earlier by magnificent and quotidian. Last night I caved and told a woman, a girl from the rearview mirror, that she was beautiful and that I was in the mood for love. In the meantime I'm on my way, per aspera ad astra. It'll be fall soon.

[@So-Be-It_890]

Her Hands Were Leaves

[@ZachKingPic]

Awesome!

[@escapeartistic]

He was here in Austin last night. So sad I couldn't make it.

[@alanlegge696]

Wonderful

[@jlink09]

it would be but I wonder more about what him and jose gonzales would be like (and, maybe even more, sufjan stevens)

[@escapeartistic]

beautifully done, sz

[@ouchalargerock]

love, love, love ! :)

[@Metody89]

Wow, amazing! Why is soooo hard to find proper Alexi's videos on youtube? Guitar is some semi hollow body gibson, I'm sure you find this model on official website ;)

[@alexanderc4355]

Metody89 the answer lies on the fact that Alexi is not a main stream nor a mtv wannabe artist. This guy is the antichrist of the music industry and their stupid dramas and factory type produced music that everyone so much enjoys. There are some enjoy-full videos on KZbin but not on the same mass as you would find some of the common cancer like Ariana, Rhyana and all of those who have decided to sell their bodies, correction their music to the world. Good music such as good people and common sense, are indeed in decay. Bless Alexi for working hard against it. BR from Portugal

[@STEAM_MA]

Can you share about the kind of guitar you use? It is narrow like my mandolin. And the tone is really rather pleasant.

[@scottschmittmusic]

What guitar is that? Great sound

[@paddymcp90]

he reminds me of nick drake

[@marileemaraugha6864]

Does anyone have the Lyrics for this song?

[@aleighl]

I'm looking for them too! Guess I need to Google it:-)

[@thomblackburn]

Does anyone know of the tuning for this song?

[@1974HondaCB350F]

I know this was posted 2 years ago, but it's open D. The recorded version uses a cape on the third fret :)

[@angusmglfraser]

Throw Nick Drake, Bon Iver and Elliot Smith in there and you'll have a masterpiece.

[@CrazybeansGaming]

Angus Fraser if nick drake was alive... 😕
