While visiting friends in Hawaii, I couldn't resist not shooting a video with such an amazing backdrop and decided to try out the Tonewood Amp to do it!

Graham, "Farewell" is one of the most beautiful songs ever composed for and played on an acoustic guitar. Simply gorgeous.

[@pjcouture5203]

No argument here!!

[@brandenshin398]

Agree

[@edgardodiaz7870]

Fantastico. El sonido del mar le agrega un ambiente muy agradable.

[@claudiusdunclius2045]

I thoroughly agree. 6 years after this video posted, when I watch it tears still come to my eyes. And, let's not forget that Calum's stunning musical sensibility and technical talent play a huge role in making this piece what it is. I've heard numerous covers of it that are posted on KZbin and while admirable, not one of them matches the way that Calum's playing breathes life and color into the music, eliciting that emotional response (from me, anyway) that none others do. Not to get all star-struck or anything, but I do think Calum is a once-in-a-generation guitarist, composer, and musician. Like Michael Hedges was in his day.

[@marindamercer7382]

Your playing is exquisite. I love hearing it while waking up and starting the day. It's like reading my daily devotional or taking a brisk morning walk here in the early morning sunshine. I thank you and thank God for the gift given you to share. 🌞

[@corywyant3984]

I enjoy reading the psalms to this 😉

[@marindamercer7382]

@@corywyant3984 great idea 💡

[@guymartin8167]

Still after all these years, this is still my favorite song you do...

[@doridajanelassiter]

My mom passed away that year you played this. I miss her everyday since.

[@pjcouture5203]

This might be the most beautiful song ever.

[@danielli327]

It’s like the ocean can hear him playing and resonate with the sounds...

[@szaboehs8151]

This is Beauty and Peace.

[@angelatapias5737]

I could hear this beautiful piece a thousand times and never tired in... Thanks for inspiring a lot of peace!... Greats From Colombia!.

[@CalumGrahamMusic]

Gracias! 🙏

[@donaldmackenzie3403]

I must have listened to this 80 times. When I can't sleep and need to shut down my mind this amazing rendition does it for me. Calming, soothing, quieting. Love all your stuff Calum. A BIG THANK YOU.

[@CalumGrahamMusic]

Awesome to hear that Donald Mackenzie, thanks for listening! Much love from calgary ✌🏽

[@Jorinio_98]

I listened at dinner to this work together with the father. When music ended, he told what beautiful soul has to be at this guy that to compose it.

[@joseriffs1666]

I’m huge on metal but I find myself coming back to listening to this every once and awhile. Beautiful

[@12StringHWY]

Yeah same here. I'm the only 52 year old that listens to Amon Amarth and then this guy.

[@davideleftheriou3176]

What a bright star. What a talent.

[@nonsensical1521]

I listened to this a few days ago, never thinking I'd have to say goodbye to anybody just yet. I couldn't foresee my cat of roughly four years dying by heart attack not too long after. This is a beautiful work that makes me reflect on the best times I've had with him, as seemingly brief and as long as 4 years can be with my fuzzy little partner in crime. Thank you for making this and sharing it. =')

[@CalumGrahamMusic]

so sorry to hear about your feline friend Ronin... losing a pet is like losing a family member :( glad to hear the music allowed you to reflect on your good memories together with your fuzzy little partner in crime :)

[@jlunch]

I´m so sorry to hear of your loss. I too am a cat lover and have had the pleasure of being allowed to share a home with many cats over the years. When they go to the other side, they negver really seem to leave. Your furry friend lives on in our conversations here today with Calum´s music.

[@420metalraver420]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your fur baby (furby). I lost my dog a few years ago to old age. Your post got me thinking about her. It's like a your heart being ripped from your chest when they pass away. She came into my life when she was 2. She became My best friend. She was 15 when she passed away. She is currently my last furby. I'm unable to afford another but how I would love to have another dog. I like cats too. I wouldn't throw away a chance to have a cat. I like most animals.

[@RikMan1025]

So so sorry.. ❤️🙏 the day my boy moves beyond I may just follow.. peace friend

[@warriordrum]

His endings really leave you in awe. Really like the melody, really like the transition to harmonic melody around 310 and enjoy his balance of technique and commitment to the song.

[@brandenshin398]

If you listen to this when you are in a bad mood, you might feel better

[@TimothyThibault]

I'm not an overtly emotional guy but the first time I ever listened to this brought a tear to my eye. It's a beautiful piece

[@Last_one_before_I_go]

Awesome work.Man, this kid is gifted.

[@bigbeef8190]

No lie spent countless days learing to play this. Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever composed. So grateful I found CG. Changed my way of guitar playing.

[@andrewkeen3129]

Greatest disciple of Michael Hedges I have ever seen :)

[@TheOneKvick]

How this only can have 4,2K Likes! Soooooo GOOOOOOD! Love it Calum

[@johnvermette9466]

I was wondering the same thing ! Calum is definitely one of the world's GREATEST Guitarist! edit: when I responded, there's only 298 844 likes, and it's been a year! We need to increase the amount of sharing his videos!

[@imdeman311]

Absolutely beautiful song ...Wow

[@Stephanie-el2xh]

Your a prolific guitarist. Thanks for inspiring other musicians with your authentic music to learn more finger picking. Awesome song!

[@emeri5157]

This is so beautiful.... your pieces always have a story to tell. Something that touches the heart. You're so amazing and I hope you will keep making music, because we need more of it :')

[@MattGoodreau]

Holy crap. What a beautiful song. Made me tear up a little. My uncle just passed and it made me think of him. Thank you for that. Out of all the finger style guitars I listen you have the most "soul" in your music. Andy, Don, and Antoine are still amazing and I just don't get the same bewildered feeling when I watch them play. You have something special. Keep up the great work.

[@russberkhoudt3921]

Calum, This is a very beautiful song. When I first heard it and saw the date it was recorded, I was instantly moved to tears as my mother had passed the day before from cancer. I have since shared this with my family so thank you for sharing your wonderful song!. Very fitting .. Looking forward to enjoying more of your compilations.

[@MAR-kg9xi]

So fluid yet so technical..wwow!

[@CaelM8000]

It is a gift indeed to reach the level of an accomplished professional guitarist. It must be pure joy to share the labor of refined talent to an appreciative audience.

[@Larsove8]

*Slowclap* - Beautiful, man.

[@melodyhanna9321]

Can't believe I've only just discovered Calum. This has to be one of my favorite videos on youtube. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift Calum.

[@strooomon]

More genius from Calum. It should no longer be a surprise. Thanks for sharing.

[@ilyasenatorov6624]

Still to this day the most beautiful song ive ever heard on guitar

[@sc7244]

Respect to your friend for his great filming skills. I was able to learn this entire song by simply watching both of your hands up close. I feel so blessed that there are artists such as yourself that compose such beautiful songs giving us the opportunity to learn them. Much love brotha.

[@donnamariealba]

This song is so beautiful Calum! You write such gorgeous music.

[@sethtastical]

Happy (almost) 1 year anniversary on this beautiful tune! I've been listening to your work for quite a while now, and I always find myself coming back to this video. That natural ocean ambiance just takes it over the top for me, as if it were meant for this song. Very, very well done, sir.

[@BobbieCasterlin]

Beautiful and welcoming of thoughts that run through our minds as time and location suggests 🤫, but sometimes it’s better to acknowledge those ourselves in order to communicate that to others. 😢

[@jakecarey4840]

This is one of the greatest guitar instrumentals of all time

[@JemmyChen]

you are one of my most favourite guitarist from candyrat record, really love your amazing work! i still can't stop listening to your master piece phoenix rising!

[@bidyutdatta5042]

I guess his best pieces are Three Way Street, Farewell, Nomad , wait a second everything including his cover of baby by Justin Bieber in 2011 with a beat boxer

[@markrothery8719]

Brother is just so chill and talented. Thank you man. Your music feels me with chills and for that I’m so grateful. Everyone is on their journey. Stay in the knowledge of Love. Only Love. It will bring us to the peace that we are. Always have been. Thank you x

[@zaxbysfixit]

[@deepsouth8656]

A true talent. His composition is always brilliant.

[@frederia85]

I lived in Hawaii Kai for four years, and loved it. Truly, the meeting place. Your music, and the harmonics in this piece have a similarity to some of the Hawaiian music. Happy to see you and Andy McKee enjoying HI. Wish I was there. Watching you live is on my bucket list! Beautiful

[@dannychoi18]

Anthony Frederick Calum and I stayed in Hawaii Kai for 4 days! Great area and beaches. We enjoyed Hanauma Bay and Koko Head right down the street!

[@jerrygibbs4675]

Anyone else notice the Angels in the Clouds? They too were mesmerized! Thanks Calum

[@kanzkie4236]
