[@PKPJayhawk04]

God damn the way he just effortlessly integrates those natural harmonics into the melodies is mindblowing. Takes an incredible amount of feel, touch, and control to do that. Absolutely beautiful.

Thumbs up if you're listening to this in 2081! ... I know I will be... this is what's played in heaven.

[@BananerNanner]

This is one of those moments where I wish I was famous enough to get this guy's talent spread worldwide.

[@adammorkus]

Insteresting approach! A+

[@BananerNanner]

***** Hahaha thanks :D

[@paulsamotismusic]

Tour's the world. Makes enough money to live doing it. I think he's doing well for himself. These tunes get a lot of money on the backend, albeit through commercials, etc.

[@thedeathmachine666]

that outro is one of my favorite passages of music .

[@mosley3485]

Yeah... When I first heard this, it blew my mind. 10 years later - it's still one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. I listen to this on Spotify all the time, but I have to come back to the video every once in a while because watching his right hand during the outro is just "lol".

[@DSmusique]

Still listening to Antoine's songs, especially his old ones. I've never ever seen anyone else being this ridiculously creative with songwriting adding complex rhythms and taking us into wonderlands with such amazing composition, it's very hard to explain. Antoine is truly a master.

[@dsman444]

Antoine Dufour-- You are truly a master of the acoustic guitar, and I mean that with one hundred percent sincerity. Your influences have driven you, and your passion has fueled you. Never quit making beautiful music, and never stop writing awesome pieces!

[@poisenbery]

1 instrument 40 voices

[@torgo4ever]

A heartfelt thank you to whomever first decided to stretch 6 strings across a soundboard becasue you , sir or madame, got all of us here together to watch this mind-bogglingly ridiculous, beautiful , extraordinary work of art.

[@classicalgarse]

I'm not sure how many people noticed how fitting the title is for this song. It seems perfectly engineered to be exactly a journey in a dream. It has the morning bell, followed by a dark and mysterious, but forward pace. Towards the end, all the elements of the song begin to merge as if coming out of the dream. I don't know if Antoine meant to do this, but it's hard to believe given how perfect it is, that it was done by mistake. Well done, sir. This is musical art.

[@ozonespec]

I'm still a huge fan after all these years. Breath taking other worldly talent by the one and only Antoine Dufour. I believe this is in your top 3 all time pieces. absolutely brilliant. 🤯

It's so amazing that the 7/8 sections are the easiest parts to follow. Cause that's not easy. This guy is just great

[@Khorne202]

Isn't it all 7/8?

[@kennyd3811]

Hey guys. I remember 11 yrs ago going to the Free Library in this local town where I lived just to sit in the computer lab and listen to this song for the hour that our visitors pass allowed…I was drinking heavily and trying anything I could get my hands on at the time. My life was in shambles. This song and his music really helped me through some hard times. My sobriety date is April 22, 2017…..Love.

[@TheWendable]

What and how ...but he’s doing everything different all at the same time ..the dynamics and the rhythm just mind blowing.

[@_fellipepires]

For real I'm just thankful that I was born in this generation and I have the opportunity to witness things happening

[@YourWellBeing02]

If I didn't see it; and merely heard it, I would have naturally assumed there were at lease 4 guitarist in a jam session! Unreal how deeply layered his performances are.

[@DrBromiAndufEwd]

100% agreed. One of my favorite things about his music.

[@jacobilton6879]

To run in a dream just like this song, is impossible.

[@jacobilton6879]

yes Mr PolarB

[@majorburke9735]

Mesmerizing. The way he sweeps his thumb up and down the strings was unreal.

[@travishendrix4734]

It is extremely difficult to pick 1 of Antoine's works over the rest,BUT, To Run In A Dream is my favorite,what a Master Acoustic guitarist he is,even if he is using quad pick-ups,that still would not account for his abilities.

[@Orsacchiorso]

This is something more than music. Notes are living, and wanna break the walls of common logic. Pure poetry.

[@tomnieder6377]

Best part = 0:00 - 4:28

[@VforVallee]

YES!!!! HAHAHA

[@brianwilson14]

Nah, the part at 4:28 sucks (the end of the song) =P

[@yahnniemeng]

In my humble opinion this is Antoine's best song. Well at least of the ones posted on Candyrat.

[@freshappleseed6966]

This entire song makes me feel like I'm in a dream.

I could listen to this a million times in a row (and im planing on it) and it would still be amazing to me!

[@Cringing_Cranium]

Now if every one would pony up some cash and buy his albums. I will be buying his albums and DVDs. Yeah I could just let it go but this musician is better than most bands being produced out of the big music producers. Pay this fantastic musician, who has worked his butt off to get where he is, and more music, skill, and talent will follow. I listened to his KZbin recordings on a pair of JBL studio 580s and it sounded and felt like he was playing right in front of me - live. I personally would like to hear an uncompressed .WAV file or perhaps a .flac file. Play on.

[@ophiolatreia93]

[@Shevaron]

That was like the best I have ever heard a guitar played. The sound the composition was out standing. I have found a new influential musician to learn from.

[@toxickremedy]

How do players on his level see the guitar? Is it like looking at a page of text in your native language?

[@williamwalker1010]

I think they simply see themselves.

[@thangQanime]

Yo what the FUCK??? Watch his right hand closely 3:45! How the hell is that even possible?! It literally doesn't even look human.

[@torgo4ever]

The technique is called " rasgueado" . It's used by flamenco players all the time. He is doing a modified version of it for sure , but that's basically where he got it from. He's said in interviews that he's borrowed from flamenco in coming up with some of his techniques.

He's a machine. Still love this song so much.

Had the pleasure of seeing Antoine play live in Portland,OR with other Candyrat guitarists a fews years back. He stands alone. He's the best in IMHO. It's not just the skill, it's also his beautiful song writing that is just gripping.

[@XRogerMellieX]

His playing is just so CLEAN.

[@metalheader1989]

I am amazed at how many songs these artists create and everyone has its own feel to it. I just moved back to Canada last week so hopefully I can catch one of his shows this year. Just amazing Antoine and all the Candyrat musicians.

The more i listen to this song the more there is to hear, and it gets better each time. this may be antoine's best yet.

i honestly can't believe how great this is...

just a true god given talent, i feel this is how the acoustic guitar was intended to be played.

[@snoopy6446]

This is my favorite song by far :) I am so jealous that his harmonics are SOOO clean and snappy, my mind is just like, ........... please don't stop playing, my mind is blown back at the intro.

The outro has crumbled me as a person.

[@carlasmith219]

If this was a visual masterpiece it would be intricate this music puts me into another mindset, it just projects possibilities!!!

The only people on earth who will ever truly understand this are the ones who have actually dedicated themselves to their musical instrument. it doesn't matter how hard it is to play the song. (even though most songs are hard to get down right and be able to play for someone the first try) It only matters that you tried your best and put yourself into that piece of music.(and had fun) Which is what i see every time i watch Antione Dufour. He has my respect as a musician fa sho!

[@josiahmoulton]
