I had the privilege to see Don live in Hamilton, Ontario and this has to be the prettiest song he has ever written and performed. Keep up.

[@fatfredthe28th]

Don Ross is a class act all around. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a guitar clinic in Ottawa last weekend. Not only is he a master of the guitar, he's also pretty goddamn hilarious on stage. Hands down the best show I've ever seen and probably ever will.

[@enilegnave21]

I used to play in Panama with a guy named Don Ross... this is 'candle holding' category. What a great group of musicians are collected here. I just wish I could play, or could have ever played with such grace. Thanks. The muse is still smiling!

[@aboynamedchris]

I saw him peform this song live here in Australia, and it will be night i will never forget!

[@oNeFLyThAi]

those harmonics tell a story in itself. beautiful song. Hats off to you Ross!

[@Mithiras]

You know, this song has so much meaning. Not only is it beautiful, and the melody so peaceful, but the entire song is for someone completely dear to him. That person was his wife who is deceased. I'd like to see you do what he does!

[@rinkeltjetinkeltje]

Indeed.. Abd that's exactly what's gone missing in the music we hear on the radio every day.. Because if we would just listen to the song, and let it speak for itself, then we would be able to feel the true colours of the song. We'll feel it flowing to our hearts.. giving us rest.

[@EverythingZen14]

All I have to go off of are Don's compositions, but theres so much love behind so many of his songs. Brooke has got to be very blessed to be with a man who has such a heart.

[@h0bgawblin]

I love all of don rosses music, but this one is really moving. If I were any more of a sap I'd shed a tear for this piece.

[@emericanchaos]

what an awesome idea. i like smoking a little and doing my laundry/vacuuming while listening to chill music like this. Don Ross might be my new hero.

[@RockeyRupert]

Look how he plays the guitar! He plays this song with so much feeling. Just awesome! Well done Ross!

[@patriziaps60]

Hi! I saw them too in Bury and Newcastle. What a fantastic duo!!!

[@acewing24]

Michael would be so proud of such an elite bunch of talented musicians found at candy rat ..very inspiring ...long live Hedges,,and Hedges inspired musicians through the generations

[@UsserError]

I really enjoy Candy Rats using KZbin as a Vehicle for their artist. I would have never have known Don Russ or Andy McKee or any of their other crazy awsome muscians. Thank You!

[@lord3tnpm]

Once again, an incredibly beautiul piece from the Donfather... For all you Ontarian Don Ross fans, he's playing at Carleton U at 2 pm on the 15th. I've got my ticket, why don't you? Thanks again Mr. Ross

[@stankhat]

Great piece of songwriting. Don never ceases to amaze me.

[@700kotchi]

Most excellent. Reminds of someone near and dear to me. The song I mean. Imagine that. I'd comment on the guitar playing but when it get's to this level the guitar speaks for itself ---and for the fingers operating it. Some do have IT!!!! Thanks for this.

[@Tien_truongminh]

sweet songs!don ross is the best composer all over the world all times!

[@700kotchi]

I just haven't had time to give it a try. The muse is always smiling when she hears stuff like this. Amazing how someone's fingers can bring tears to my eyes and at the same time make me so happy. Hope it's done as much for you as it has for me.

[@shwiing89]

A very chilled composition from Don this time. Ha, i bet even if he accidentally sneezed when playing it would still sound wonderful. But this is beautiful, reminds me of drinking a cool pint of cider, during a sunset over the fields of the british countryside

[@slink11]

Don is amazing. I seen him in concert a few months ago in Sydney. Him and his wife Brooke signed one of Don's cds for me!! Hey played Loaded Leather Moon Roof for me i was so happy!! They are both great people. I hope they come back to Cape Breton next year!!

[@Foley55]

Absolute genius - Thank you Don Ross...

[@yurith182]

awesome song! Brooke must be lucky with you, so must you be with her! Keep up the good work Don!! And please come to belgium in the near future!?

[@xielanx1]

i like how the comments to this type of music are all positive share the love :)

[@TylerBelmont]

Beautiful as always

[@tubadude123]

this is my favourite candy song. i mean it's so simple, and yes the other stuff is unbelievably cool, but the feeling and emotion portrayed in this song is nothing short of spectacular! it just amazes me!

[@boysgotolder]

Here I fall in deep sleep. So peaceful.

[@aFem0rg1]

Don appears to me like an incredible person... he's playing with his heart and i think that is what makes his songs so wonderful

[@Alkoholic666]

Um yeah...

[@certifiedchillin420]

i love when don nods his head and smiles while playing, i just think, ya man its beautiful.

[@tscholent]

thank you for you music....one of the things I look forward to after a hard work day....

[@grumpgus]

I've seen you before, I was impressed then and impressed again. one of my favorites!

[@Poopfemur]

This one always raises the hair on my arms, Don I will make it to your class one day.....

[@qweasdzxcname]

bought this CD and Passion Session from amazon a while ago. best purchased ive ever made. My Previous Life is just... indescribable.

[@millennium1578]

Luv this one!! What amazes me about Don is that all these years and songs later, he is still so fresh and inspiring. Brooke ain't no slouch either......check out Brooke Miller- "Two Soldiers"........amazing vocals and she cranks out a mean melody on that Greenfield!

[@whouston33wh]

That sounds like such a nice guitar play. Makes me feel good hearing it, especially played by an artist like Don Ross

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Fantastic piece,great imaginative playing very Musical,great sound in that guitar en specially in those hands of yours,greets Vic.

[@scottsheen7664]

Likely the most beautiful ballad ever written.

[@ereiwaz]

quality note selection, enjoyed through and through

[@RnDEntertainment]

Beautiful composition. I liked the way he bent the string at the end. I guess if I played this enough I'd come up with lyrics but that's just what my ears want to do. GB LOL Ray.

[@dank454]

Haven't heard this in years so good man!

[@JackdeRipskaya]

This guy is so methodical. Even that last harmonic where he vibrato-ed it from top top, look at how he kept time even as the note faded.

[@iamstacka]

too smooth Don. this is beautiful cheers. and while im at it, praise and hailz to rpoland. its just about the best channel on youtube!

[@rockyeagle92]

gosh yeah it makes some kind of weerd feeling in my chest when I listen to him it feels goood and relawing PEACE and rest to this wonderful music

[@marshmelow]

Great playing and a sweet one on that guitar.

[@Qpidon]

[@stanleycen]

[@OrthodoxPlatypus]

Now THAT'S a true display of affection - Brooke is very lucky.

[@Lanning9]

I love his guitar playing skills!!

[@teegam07]

so beautiful..

[@gobyfishmusic]

The tune is in what's called "jazz waltz" rhythm , or 9/8 time where you feel the rhythm as 1 (2,3) 2 (2,3) 3 (2,3). The pulses are quick ones, so the 9 goes by quickly. It is a three, but subdivided into 3 groups of 3. If that makes any sense! DR

[@ingohensel9479]

very beautiful!

[@cherubmusic]

beautiful!

[@slowpoke560]

dude, i hella wish i could play like you! i luv hella mello stuff like that.

[@Elijahguitarist]

[@AntoManuele]

Don Ross is one of the guitar profs at Dalhousie! As soon as I found that out, I decided to switch over to Dal's guitar program...

[@nylonsteel]

Great sounding gtr n talented man playing it

[@peterng20]

Yup those are powerful fingers. Awesome job.

[@Rael0505]

What a beautiful song... I love the subtle vibrato he gets by bending the neck.

[@enilegnave21]

Nope. You could tell, couldn't you? ;-P This is just heavenly!

[@archard1]

[@tlv156]

man that's terrible. i read his bio some time after to learn of his 1st wife and had figured that was what you meant. it didn't tell me that. thank you for the info. and even though it might not help much mr. ross, i would like to extend my condolences as well.

[@T0mash]

Yeah, great job

[@spiner507]

Amazing

[@gobyfishmusic]

The tuning is CGCGAD. All my tunings are on my website.

[@mosomos89]

for those who were wondering the same thing as me... the strings are "CGCGAD"

[@coheedfreak06]

I bet Brookes heart smiled when she heard this. Good job on pleasing his wife.

[@rockyeagle92]

gosh yeah!!!!!!!

[@JustinLeu1]

great!

[@thr2506]

This song is so nice. Don Ross is inspirational. Does anyone know the name of this song?

[@gobyfishmusic]

Narada more or less went out of business as the music industry went digital and the record companies downsized or closed shop altogether. Narada was bought in the 1990s by EMI, but they were based in Milwaukee since the days they were an indie label. The Milwaukee office got closed by EMI about three years ago. The label exist now only as an EMI imprint, but it lo longer has its own staff or offices. Sad, but it's the way of the future. -DR

[@MattSlusherArt]

15 stars... Wait there's only 5, come on youtube!

[@HungarianGuitarist]

and Don a soo lucky man... =)

[@OneLoneLegend]

best of our time

[@MihaZ]

I laughed really loud when I saw the adds this time. Usually, when I watch guitar videos, I get stuff like : suck at guitar?, Blues Classes or buy a wonderful guitar! But now, I just got The best Diet of 2008! hahahahah. Anyways, excellent song =)

[@Slapflip]

Beauftifull!

[@HildeMyran]

Awesome:)) Hilde

[@saxophonefreak101]

good stufff

[@KidDanger2000]

it's quite evident he has a thumb pick. what's that matter? he's a genius.

[@EtherTrace]

Don't be so modest, Don said on stage that you helped him compose it too!

[@fackface13]

please come to holland (the netherlands, next to germany)..?? :)

[@123bogger123]

whats funny is sure some of us can play this, but the dif is he can play it asleep, while talking on a cell phone or jam out, when i or some of us try it we have are heads into the neck, looking at the fret board sweating trying to play it lmao

[@10tails20]

hay guys, you guys, holy shit you guys! on topic...This song is great, i wish it had a slightly more of a waltz sound to it, though. waltzes are great fun to play. :)

[@sLclemens]

Nothing is its equal.

[@gobyfishmusic]

Yer on, Mrooke!
