One of the greatest song writer on this lonesome earth

Preach on brother

[@paulbyrne3116]

This earth is only as lonesome as you want it to be ✌️

[@YouthEnergy]

He always makes a completely new version of a song when he does it acoustic, and it always works. Amazing.

[@liamgallagherful]

I wonder if this is how he wrote it, on acoustic, at this tempo.

[@dannystix1993]

Aaron Solomon definitely, I feel like most singer songwriter guys like Brian, start off with just a melody and an acoustic

[@splinband]

Springsteen's School, mate!

[@thecynicalhippie2167]

You can see it in his eyes, he's reliving the moments he's singing about.

[@stephenwalker850]

No he ain’t he’s regretting those sand shoes

I wish I can pick my guitar like that. Someday though, I will. And if Brian wouldn't mind, Stacy will be Tracey when I can finally play this song. Awesome song!

[@bboyblue24]

How can there be 9 thumbs down on this??!! Obviously the folks that decided to give the thumbs down are emotionally and musically bankrupt. Brian has a true story teller song written about him and he is just as great live as he is produced in the punted out recordings...forget him not

This man is the only person in this world who may speak my pain and grief better than I would have myself

There is Class and this is CLASS. Thank-you.

[@solefire3318]

What a performance! This man is the KING of songwriting.

[@katiedaley7044]

He's amazing. This song hits so hard. 💕

[@timreagan6765]

He’s got that Townes Van Zandt sort of style, it’s beautiful

[@karlrcoates]

Awesome.

[@Siameagle75]

I always come back

[@gingthedigger5046]

This version is so fucking haunting I love the original but this is something else

[@meganchipley2305]

100x better than the album version. obsesssssed w this!

[@michaelbell75]

The original is awesome as well. Both are great.

[@matthewdennis1739]

I don't agree, I love the energy of the original, but this is hauntingly beautiful in it's own way.

[@caitrionafallon3053]

Beautiful earnest song. And I love forget me not flowers!Nice coffee by the foot 😊

Magnificent stuff.

[@jimfoley2948]

speaking of comparisons to Springsteen, much like when Bruce sang "throw that speedball by ya", in this song Brian sings "football top" - what guy has ever referred to a a jersey as a football top - or a fastball as a speedball? in otherwise amazing songs. Love both of their music, but those 2 lines drive me crazy.

[@JackCooksonMusic]

talking about UK football most likely mate

[@jimfoley2948]

@@JackCooksonMusic fair point, I suppose a Jersey guy may follow soccer - but if they call it a "football top" that's just one more reason to hate that sport.

[@JackCooksonMusic]

@@JackCooksonMusic and lift is much more appropriate name for an elevator. the first time i heard the English slang for cigarettes was in Pulp's Common People - I totally misinterpreted it.

[@JackCooksonMusic]

@@jimfoley2948 hahahaha. Yes I have no idea where that one came from - american or english. Russell Brand has a good response to westboro baptist church criticisms along those 'cigarette' lines that may make you laugh.

[@jimmyz7218]

Probably the only song I'll ever cover. And my girl's name is Angel so it's gonna work nicely

[@markmccaffertymusic4686]

Like Springsteen, he can take a recorded song and make a totally new version acoustically...great

Does anyone know the exact chord progression for the version?

[@wildhoss92]

Anyone know what type of guitar this is?

[@georgebier5511]

Gibson sj200, king of the flat tops.

[@itaintmebabe714]

My version would be Kelly for a girl I'll never have

[@davidcockreham7329]

I have to get myself a denim jacket to play these songs horribly. Thank you Brian: dude can write, dude can play.

[@lindsaypyykonen8424]

Stacy. Sounds so sweet compared to the scream.

[@r.gbogle2511]

The only part of the "rock" version i didn't like at first was the screaming of STACEY. the song was so good, I fell in love with it anyway. This however, is elegant af.
