He was 22 years old when this was recorded. Outstanding talent.

[@GinoGenero]

Years go by and I never tire of hearing this amazingly beautiful piece of music. It remains my favorite.

[@Big_Daddy_CorkUSMC]

Seriously. It moves me in a way that I can't even describe in words. I'm going to start crying every time I hear it cuz of its beauty and it makes me funeral home sick or something like I'm already home it's like a longing it's painful but I can't stop listening to it. It's not really the way I can describe it I don't have the words to describe one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. Each part is just perfect.

[@maxsteiner1964]

One of the cleanest players of the "new" breed of players. And altough his technical skill is impeccable. He dont use the guitar to show of. He use it to say something. Love man.

[@romandobospetru5690]

+Max Steiner I totally agree with you

[@minhtuy1486]

The man is a damn genius. A songwriter first and guitarist second.

I'm a grown ass man and this song STILL gets me all choked up almost every time. Beautifully written and executed.

[@neeladrimaitra9768]

It's pieces like these, that gets you with your guitar, and makes you play all day, sitting on your couch without ever getting tired. So inspiring. So magical.

[@jorgenicolasbustamante4079]

I agree so much with you. Been playing this one for two weeks so far. I'm still learning the parts. It's incredible how ethereal it feels to play it over and over again. It's never tiring. It's always exciting!

[@SusanBotich]

Calum Graham's music is soooo transcendent, so exquisitely composed and executed, it takes me away and into a place of sheer joy! He is definitely one of today's finest musician/composers. I look forward to listening to his work for many years to come. Very inspiring!

[@dreamofalaska]

One of the most beautiful 5 minutes my ears have ever experienced.

[@christopherdiamond495]

I'm pretty sure I account for about 5,000 of the hits on this video. This song is so beautiful.

[@JuniorEtienne]

I have listened to this song many times and I keep coming back.

[@BradAndersohn]

A beautiful piece that requires eyes closed to really capture the essence and be taken to the place that only the minds eye and a song of this caliber can take you! Well done Calum my musical friend, thanks for sharing your gifts with the World!

[@davidjohnston710]

Inspires my gratitude for every loving experience in life - a prayer of thankfulness to the Creator for my breath, loves of my life, and even the ability to hear and appreciate music. Take nothing for granted! Thanks Calum!

[@blasmirca]

Well Mister Calum, your guitaring is damn close to a direct connection to pure beauty ! Don´t ever loose that gift, you are one of the few !!!!

[@mitchpriehs9354]

The perfect acoustic song. Just perfection exemplified. Wow

[@dmitryWeirdo]

I really admire the guys who are playing fingerstyle for the beautiful music rather than the technical show-up. Brilliant music, Calum, please keep on!

[@superdave2112]

Wow. Flows like a gentle stream. Very beautiful!

Ever since Michael Hedges died, I have been seeking that same spirit in sound. I found it today.

This is the difference between guitar playing and a guitar speaking! I love it, Calum. Thank you.

[@AlexandrBorschchev]

I kept coming back to this piece of music even after many years. It is still so beautiful, magical and calming to listen to it as I did the first time. Calum is a really amazing storyteller through his music..

[@Big_Daddy_CorkUSMC]

As a musician all my life and career it is the most beautiful piece of excellence that has ever entered my life. I get tears that come and I don't want it to end.

[@dennismcelroy2286]

I started listening to Calum about a year ago, and to this day ,it still brings a tear to my each and every time I listen.I love to write in many of the same tunings as Calum, and Michael H.but none compare to this kind of feeling and beauty. It blows my mind that my experience covers 50 years, while Calum's is considerably shorter. When you hear a gift like his , take it for what it is, a gift .I am such a huge fan! Thanks , Calum.

[@Ryan4884guitar]

I mean... Honestly, this is remarkable. Truly, one of the greatest compositions I have ever heard on the guitar alone. Calum has inspired me greatly.

[@kirkarmstrong9129]

[@nombanarakotonavalona807]

[@StephanieL180]

Truly beautiful tone - sublime composition. Your genre of music will never set the charts ablaze, but I don't know why people aren't getting you to score their films.

[@strooomon]

Absolutely gorgeous. What separates Calum from most is not his obvious technical skill but the feeling, the emotion he puts into every note. I read where he is working on a new album and will be touring the states, sometime in 2016. I can not wait. I shall travel a long way to see the best young guitarist I have heard in a very long time.

[@acousticems]

This guy is great. Good technique, great feel, good melodies!

[@FanspaZztic]

Ever since he made a post about his new song on facebook. I caught myself listening to this beautiful piece on a daily basis.

[@MedicTJ]

The song is beautiful, but the tones and overall percussion just blow me away. I've been playing guitar for a long time and this is how the instrument should sound. It is captured so beautifully. From every accent to every subtle nuance this is pure sonic emotion.

[@DaUnforgiven1]

Love how it doesn’t even need words to speak to your soul

Still watching this video in 2019.. never get old ❤️

most beautiful guitar piece ever

[@Guild176]

Hey man, I wanted to let you know that you're an inspiration. Im probably around your age, I've been playing my whole life, and to see someone young killing it like this is really a great motivator. Also there is something about this song that gets to me. Very pretty and incredibly well written; you have some incredible phrasing. A lot of time when guitarists have the technical abilities that you do, they tend to write songs showcasing that and not necessarily writing songs which incorporate them the "right" amount haha idk either way you're the man. Im going to sit down and learn this song. If you're ever in New York City you have a lot of musicians here who would be honored to jam with you.

Listening for the umpteenth time. Really this song has got me thinking about the life we have inside of us. How do I know that Jesus really existed? I am convinced because he knows everything about the nature of my heart. He knew me and told me so... Now I listen to Calum Graham and believe that he and his music was just one of the created things. We get to enjoy this guitarist and his dream of a song. Thinking for a Change...

***** Thank you for the advice Hitchens quote. I agree with him on this count and respond with this quote from another great thinker: “So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.” ― Malcolm Muggeridge, Vintage Muggeridge: Religion and Society
