Calum Graham - "Farewell" feat. Michael Manring - Music Video (Harp Guitar)

[@rommylisege5637]

There is something majestic about being able to express emotion without saying a single word.

[@sixstrangtwang]

No words needed when you can make a fretboard talk and reach into a soul with something magic!!

[@lexusmaxus]

Who’s here in 2024 this is so transcendent & timeless

[@togue777]

Michael Manring's contribution is as always, exactly what is needed. A most beautiful piece.

[@simonsaheen5900]

Right up there with Pat Metheny. Magic fingers 👏🎶👍

[@smandez2023]

This is a rare modern masterpiece expressing pain and loss beyond belief. Words do not express, but every time I hear this I think of my mom who I lost in 2016. You are so missed momma❤

[@lexusmaxus]

Lost my dad March this year 2023

[@brianm744]

Lost my Dad in '92 and my Mom in 2008. I was her caregiver from 2005 to 2008 and I watched a vibrant and gregarious woman who was active in her church to a pale, used up shadow that I barely recognized. But in the end, I saw her... not as she was, but when she married my Dad... a young, 20ish graduate of UT with the whole world before her and WW II to win. I miss them both, but especially her because she "got" me. Thanks for your music Calum. I'm 100% sure my Mom would have loved to have heard you.

[@smandez2023]

@@lexusmaxus sorry to hear this. Folks are really hard to lose (if you have a good relationship with them anyway)

[@smandez2023]

@@brianm744 my mom and I were very close, much closer than I was to my dad (whom I also lost in September 2019). Mom was in church and praising God 2 days before she passed. As a person of faith myself, the only reason it is less painful is because I know she is home with Jesus ❤️

[@kevingill648]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard!

[@furiosasinclair2018]

This performance is what marks the difference between a great musician, and an Artist. This is transcendent. Thank you.

[@charlestea3642]

I couldn't hold back the tears, it's like I had a flashback from my early childhood to now in my late 50's. I want this played at my funeral as a Farewell. Cheers to the greatest guitar player I've ever heard!!

[@LANACHAPEL]

Angel's music....Heart's music.....My music. Such beautiful music HAS to be Celestial.

[@anuraggill1162]

Those bass strings produce actually more tears in my eyes than any other song i ever heard. Thanks Calum for playing our lives on this wonderful instrument. ❤

[@hugsru]

For a moment I forget all of life's problems; find peace and happiness. Your gift is much to appreciate... Thank You!

[@Michael-jw6et]

If you feel peace a happiness when you hear this song, you don’t get the song. There is nothing peaceful or happy about it. This song is terribly sad.

[@10to1imjokin]

@@Michael-jw6et I was not able to be with my father when he passed away unexpectedly, and felt very sad about that for many years, until I heard this song, which is titled "Farewell", and thru the melody and beauty of this wonderful song I was able to find a bridge between my sorrow and my Dad's peace. I feel a connection with my father which gives me peace and joy, melded with the loss and sorrow, so we hear the same song, and each of us takes away our own meaning and emotion.

[@Michael-jw6et]

10to1imjokin You are right. I know music is subjective. I just don’t understand the peace part of it. It’s literally the only song that I can’t listen to without breaking down. No other song does that to me. Not only does it bring back the sorrow of loss I have experienced, but it causes me to visualize and picture the loss of people who are not even gone yet..

[@NickSmith-hv9zi]

@@Michael-jw6et Just because the song is entitle "Farewell" doesn't mean one should immediately associate it with people passing on. This song is well written, and it brings pieces regardless. Can be listen in any moods if that strikes you. Well done Calum.

[@lacukamamo]

@@Michael-jw6et maybe what he mean is he can get through problems and grief by hearing this music

[@billmoore9758]

He is a Phenominal Artist.

[@sebastian7494]

I have found heaven!

[@RosamariaArrojo]

Musical Heaven? Yes, beautiful song!❤

[@robertmueller5843]

I had the extreme privilege to see him perform this @ 20 Front Street in Lake Orion, Michigan. He signed his new cd for us and even took a picture with my wife and I. A very gifted and wonderful young man.

[@brianferris1]

I have better days when I listen to Calum's music.

[@kaiyoracine4342]

I bow deeply to the beauty you give to life.

[@heatherferguson9351]

Amazing depth and range of feeling. Impeccable technique, the feeling shines through. A national treasure at such a young age who makes me proud to be Canadian, to be human.

[@captonzap1]

Calum what a beautiful piece of music. I hope to hear more of this you have such a talent. God bless Mark

[@michamarciniak9058]

The whole world stops when I listen to this piece. Tears are running down the cheeks. Absolute perfection and beauty. Thank you !

[@danielerinaldi5601]

believe me, if I tell you that you made me cry for the emotion with this beautiful music of yours. thanks

[@STR82DVD]

Same. I was stunned to tears at it's beauty.

[@nancerobinson4901]

Same too. I cried and my heart and mind was full. Such depth.

[@maxsteiner1964]

this is wy this man is head and shoulders above the pack of new guitarists.

[@learnfromthemastersmusicou7241]

A moving masterpiece! Tender, pensive, and rejuvenating!

[@supermanudntk1771]

The saying "hearts strings" comes to mind and yes they are being tugged at the moment! Thank you Michael!

[@budm.1450]

I've played guitar for more than 55 years and this is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard coming from a stringed instrument. Simply outstanding. Such a gift. I was so very moved. Thank you.

[@LIMONADEdeFL]

Cet instrument ne te quittera jamais ! La douceur de tes doigts et la complicité de ton âme rendent cette mélodie divine ! Merci pour cet adorable moment de paix !

[@maxsteiner1964]

I still think this is your best piece. Your best work.

[@robertlatko3688]

The worst thing about this song...is that it had to end. My heart both swells and breaks; finding out why it was written makes total sense. Thank you for writing this Calum.

[@johannsicard2656]

Astonishing ! Whaou I'm falling down facing this pure perfection soul expression

[@kbdda]

Few songs have ever left me speechless.

[@cst7290]

I'm in awe...brother, you have chops beyond belief... please keep playing and please keep listening, Don Ross, Leo, etc.. thanks so much...

[@katherinechatham9032]

Flying high over the mountain peaks with the sun casting a rosy glow. Drifting down low to touch the downy fresh snow. Takes me to the place of my dreams...up to glorious scenes. Wind blowing strong through my hair, released letting go of any worry or care. Beautiful guitar. Thank you so much for sharing your gift.

[@rootwitch]

Michael Hedges is alive and well in the heart of Calum Graham. Beautiful, Calum. Couldn't have a better bass player either.

[@brainynbrawny9562]

MASTERPIECE!

[@wondernate]

This is the kind of song/video that makes you ask.... why can I only like a video once? Or... where is the giant sized like button, you know, the one that fills the entire screen!

[@milanzivkovic1334]

fantastic,beautiful.....

[@TylerSmithMusic1]

you're note selection is truly unique. your melodies are simple enough to hum but your progression and use of harmonics and note placement is unmatched. i watch your music and i just wanna sell all the amps the electric guitars and pick up the acoustic and just make RAW music that just feeds the emotional part of our soul

[@pathandle]

Calum......One for the ages! Nothing flamboyant except the musicianship and expression of a true lover of beauty. Thank you!

[@marysefonta8371]

Farewell is always beautiful and sweet to hear, but with Michael Manring, it's an other world. Thanks for these moments of grace !

[@gertnood]

Funny how much Michael Manring looks like Calum's right thumb.

[@moegas100]

every song blows me away

[@judah6859]

I have watched this video so many times. I've cried, smiled, laughed, and enjoyed this music. I just had a close family friend pass as well (my best friend in fact). I wrote a song about him as well. I can see your soul in this. I see the relationships you created with the people in this. Thank you for sharing with us your raw emotions through music. :)

[@JoSh-yu6jt]

4 minutes and 27 seconds of pure enchantment. :)

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

This poem is written from my reaction to Mr Graham's poetic ability to paint words into my mind with his guitar. His rendition of Farewell was the result. Thank you, sir. Meandering slowly thru the cosmos I stumbled onto a thing they call a KZbin Whereupon an old soul; seemingly young Played his age old tune of Farewell I then fell into a dream where the tune filled The firmament and within all my senses Again I watched as my love moved slowly Into the dark distance, then gone Alone again I wandered the universe In a unending attempt to find my love But alas she was not to be found In an unending herald I called to her But in vane as her final words were The foreverence of Farewell Farewell your arms Farewell your smile Farewell my love My heart tis thine To have and hold forevermore Farewell

[@MrGottlanze]

Hey Butler, you are a good poet.

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

Oscar Alcaraz Spinola: Thanks OAS;) I should have stuck with poetry on the side. Altho, I did stay with guitar 🎸😁

[@sagarbantawarai672]

Thanks for sharing your poem❤️so fine poem👍

[@steverolfeca]

Can't believe it took me so long to run across this clip. Speaking as a bassist, Michael Manring is one of my heroes. Tony Karol is my favourite luthier, especially when it comes to his harp guitars. Antoine is a terrific player, and did an excellent job on this production. It's so great that all of that goodness is there in support of Callum's song and expressive playing. This is like a little slice of heaven!

[@dougvb2096]

My new favorite song from Calum. Incredibly evocative. Just an amazing composer. And Michael Manring adds so much to this version of the song. Also loved his work with Michael Hedges, too.

[@derrio6871]

Your music gets better as you get older !

[@Bookwormed]

the older u r the wiser u r the wiser u r the better music u make

[@danielibnz]

@@Bookwormed Agree. I notice more feeling on every string, in addition to the previous technique...

[@claudiusdunclius2045]

So beautiful and moving, Calum. I recall when Michael Hedges was recording and occasionally touring with Michael Manring, 30 years ago. You currently being my favorite guitarist, it makes me so happy to see you working with him - because as I've followed your music and your musical development for the past three years or so, I've been certain that you are of that same world-class caliber. You deserve to be right in there recording with the likes of Manring and others on that level, like Don Ross. I feel a sense of joy that you are in the world and creating such beauty in your music. And I look forward to listening for many years to come. Hope you make it out the Bay Area soon!

[@SusanBotich]

Sheer beauty! Graham has such an extraordinary sensibility toward melodic and harmonic flows in his original pieces. He's truly brilliant and such a blessing to the music of the world.

[@brianm744]

From what I remember a past posting said about this song (the details could be wrong but I think are close), a couple that were dear friends of Calum had a son who contracted cancer at the age of 15 and a year later he passed away, leaving his parents devastated. Calum wrote this in memory of their son. Who will we leave behind to remember us? To cherish our memory? Thanks Calum for expressing what words can never really capture...

[@MrHighgrade1]

This makes me think of my friend that recently passed away. I'll miss you buddy.
