David Nail - Half Mile Hill

[@Paddlinjoe34]

How many people can you name that can lay on a couch and sing as clearly as if they were in a studio? This is PURE TALENT.

[@juliewinkelmann3832]

This is still one of my favorites, all these years later. ❤

[@cosmo5102]

That piano with David is magic!

[@huskerslori28]

He does not get enough recognition at all. Love this man!!

[@ReemaSingh95]

I agree! He deserves more attention. He's a great singer with an amazing voice.

[@1Ominari]

This song evokes such strong emotions for me, it makes me want to cry yet at the same time brings back so many memories. Such a beautiful song

[@deeannlittlefield5725]

So deep. So many beautiful lines in here. Fly like a cut string kite tapping on the floor of heaven is my favorite … he’s an amazing artist

[@cocopaza]

The only musician who I love every single song he sings. ❤

[@vwdiver512]

This is such a beautiful song. This takes me back to an experience I have long wished I could have had wit my father, who passed away at the end of 2022 from ALS. I wanted to just sit with him at the top of a mountain looking out over a town, and just talk... man to man. I'd want to learn about life, learn about his struggles and his past... but we never had that opportunity. I know he's in Heaven looking down on me and encouraging me to live my life, but to those out there who still have their parents alive and in their lives... treasure that. Don't take it for granted. Savor these moments and make memories.

No clue how I have missed this song by David. I love the sound of a million dreams and redlight but somehow never heard this until today. Amazing talent and great song.

[@chrislillie1246]

The sound of a million dreams is one of the best songs that not many people have heard.

[@lorrainefussell823]

I love that song too.

[@lorrainefussell823]

It may be my favorite.

[@marjorielafleur121]

David has a wonderful voice, and so serious. I didn't realize he had so many songs. He has been left out of the obvious bright lights that he deserves.

[@joekopinski4693]

You pierce my soul,your words your voice thank you

[@Artinme129]

Couldn’t agree more. He deserves so much more recognition for this kind of talent. Few contemporary country singers come close - maybe none in my opinion.

[@victoriaw4203]

Such a heartfelt beautiful powerful song telling the story of life! It brings tears to my eyes. So touching. His voice really makes me feel the story he is singing/telling. Love it!!

[@kevinbarnes7382]

Incredible voice, I can listen to him for days.................

[@emmanem1224]

he is by far my favorite country artist. on top of his AMAZING voice are even more amazing songs

[@hannacrawford601]

David Nail is awesome!! ENough said!

[@randallfrank5682]

"Tapping on the floor of Heaven," - what a line.

[@CountryFeverMichelAuclair]

What a great artist this guy it's exackly why i like country music. the voice the way is playing music , the lyrics and all the arrangement......JUST WOWWWW

[@ericsleith3635]

Great vocals and awesome songwriting!!! Eric ~

[@skinneren]

yeah, I saw him perform at a TINY bar in Muscle Shoals, AL last fall. He is really good in concert. He never misses a note live. That's rare these days.

[@doerayme28]

He is amazing in concert I'm soo happy I got to see him Kip Moore and Billy Currington... My three favorite singers all in one

[@watneh]

it's so effortless for this guy

[@CrystalWilliamsBrownArt]

I still love this song ^_^. I listen to it while I program.

[@irvingbrown2389]

How’s it going David? Have seen you several times with my wife and son and loved every show! Thanks, I truly appreciate your songs and talent!!

[@paulajane9828]

Love this song ♥️

[@chadmefford7425]

Perfection!

[@kathleenferry8536]

Love this song!!!

[@TinaSavoie]

Defiantly a one of a kind of artist :)

[@4869GATORS]

My favorite David Nail song.

[@DaysOfSodaAndLantana]

Mine too.

[@Energetix-Beat]

Thanks !

[@alhuggins3646]

one of the lesser known songs of David Nail. actually there isn't even one of his songs not recognized by every ear. those ears just don't know what they're missing, through no fault of his own.. that's what happens when record companies have more power than the artists when there's contract disputes, the artist always loses..... but so do the people that just love great music that they might never get to hear. thank Mercury Records for the reason David is not already a super star. screw you Mercury, he'll get there on his own one day. till then, let me keep playing y'all some and sharing it.....

[@galicountry]

As beautiful as your other musics. Love your voice

[@sciullo273]

I saw the original songwriter play this at The Bluebird on guitar. Beautiful song.

[@exposuree]

One of my favorites on the album :)

[@CrystalWilliamsBrownArt]

I changed the channel to watch Wolfgang Puck, but this video was on. I was so happy the show listing was wrong. I never watch music shows anymore or listen to the radio. So I wouldn't have found him if fate had not intervened. Yay!!!!!

[@cynthiambagley]

Ahh, love this!😍

[@Lugia417]

First awesome song David :3

[@ericsleith3635]

I love this (just piano & vocal) version better than the "produced" album cut. Eric ~

[@omarshiwass]

Excelente musica

[@Haydenamos55]

2018???

[@IAmHoTSHoTzz]

That's just the neurological part of the brain, the empathic neurological part, it reacts to certain sounds through memory.

[@Energetix-Beat]

Half Mile Hill Eight years old Standing on top With the world below Me and my dad Talking man to man Suitcase packed, he was moving out Said, "It's no one's fault but I had my doubts And I have them still" Up on Half-Mile-Hill You can see the ball fields Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse See the sun go down where the street lamps glow On those checkerboard roads Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite Tapping on the floor of heaven Is anybody listening? Half-Mile-Hill, seventeen Tailing the summer, Angie and me Kicking beer cans off the side One last time She was wildcat tough, I was scare-crow thin We were thick as thieves 'til the bitter end Trying to make time stand still Upon Half-Mile-Hill You can see the ball fields Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse See the sun go down where the street lamps glow On those checkerboard roads Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite Tapping on the floor of heaven Is anybody listening? Hey all, you lovers and leavers, stuck in-betweeners Loners and stoners, old drunks and dreamers Rumbling and stumbling, always looking for something Past that no trespassing sign You can see the ball fields Watch the cars go 'round the courthouse See the sun go down where the street lamps glow On those checkerboard roads Wishing I could fly like a cut-string kite Tapping on the floor of heaven Tapping on the floor of heaven Is anybody listening? (Anybody listening?) Up on Half Mile Hill Is anybody listening? (Anybody listening?)

[@Charlez1420]

Why is this video a lot slower tempo than the original? I like it longer...

[@jameshuxley6607]

yeah it be hard with some songs what people do to be singing why doing stuff what they do..

[@stlcards2009]

went to school with him

[@jependergrass4409]

Is he CMA or what? Yall decide!

[@Charlez1420]

@Paddlinjoe34 You realize that he's just lip-syncing when they film it, and then they put the studio file over the video. He isn't actually singing.

[@iOscar10451]

smh

[@jimmyboddingtons6278]

I like the song, you're sound more like garth brooks... Almost 90% garth brooks voice...
