Fields of gold in a field of gold. I see what you did there.

[@jstnxprsn]

I am losing it in my old age. Didn't even notice that. LOLOL

[@SEIZU23]

Very perceptive of you!

There is a place few musicians get to and only for small amounts of time. This kid lives there

[@henrybeceiro3712]

So much has already been said in Kent’s other videos about his uncanny ability to become an entire band when he’s playing. But equally impressive are his masterful arrangements - the nuanced runs, the perfectly placed harmonics. How many other guitarists on YT would have “overplayed” this song? And he plays “clean” every time. I really think it’s ok to start using the term “genius” when discussing young Mr. Nishimura’s art.

[@esoonmeen]

i hate/love to say it, but it's something that seems inherent to the japanese culture/people: taking something, perhaps initially invented outside of Japan, respecting it, reverse engineering it, understanding it, perfecting it, and then on top of that(!) making it their own with their own personal touch, creativity, and skill. it may have something to do with the insular yet open culture, something to do with the fact that Japan is an island so their surplus overflows beyond their borders, something to do with their subjugation post-WWii so all the energy that initially went into their expansionist colonial imperialism is now focused in creative pursuits (most of the country has been pacifist and anti-war so that energy has to move somewhere if not toward fighting raping and killing others and all because their emperor was forced to surrender), something to do with the high prevalence of introversion that allows them to HEAR [the truth] because they're able to quiet themselves and they're not always yip yapping away into oblivion. cars, (video) games, cameras, design, music, trains, food, aesthetics, language, fashion, manners, and the list goes on. being top-class seems to come naturally to them. but it comes with a price...

[@henrybeceiro3712]

@@esoonmeen OR... just maybe when young Kent started playing guitar at age 5 he said, “This is fun! I really, really like playing guitar and so I will practice every day and maybe someday make videos so I can share the beauty of music with my KZbin friends around the world.” I like this version better.

[@txdap786]

And I can watch, listen and imagine every "stroke of the brush"...

[@ofangelsanarchists2386]

No man, he’s amazing but geniuses create Genius is if he starts making absolutely boss original music, otherwise it’s just a matter of time for anyone to get here He didn’t invent the techniques, songs, etc, which is where genius comes in He’s a damn amazing guitarist though, but re-creation isn’t creation

[@andrewkeen3129]

@@ofangelsanarchists2386 Not accurate lol. The word genius is not just associated with creation in any sense. An incredible mathematical prodigy would be considered 'genius'. This has nothing to do with creating in art. The other side of the story is arrangement is absolutely an art, he creates countless of his own incredible arrangements of songs. Nobody else appears to be able to come up with arrangements as well as this guy and that is why he is at the top in this world of acoustic guitar covers. Quite easy to see why some people may refer to him as pretty genius.

[@EdLo.]

Best guitar player on KZbin.

[@gotrox1]

My mother, R.I.P. , used to like this song as performed by Sting. I know she would love how you’ve captured it’s essence. Very warm and timeless. Ya made me think of her again tonight...thank you.

[@paulmeszesan8970]

I nominate Kent Best Acoustic Guitarist for his "original covers". It's time for the "original artists" to collaborate with him as a duet (guitar & vocals). It would be such a cool collection of hits with Kent on guitar! Sting, Fagen, McDonald, etc..

@@Michael65429 things ain't what they seem is so true...and you crazy people who don't find your opinions, rather have them fed to you invited someone who 1) avoids congress by passing more EO's than any other in his FIRST DAY (as if that's not a sign), and IMMEDIATELY went to war (Trump started ZERO wars, and has (and continues to win) countless awards in other countries for peace...hmm...other countries where our media doesnt GIVE PEOPLE their opinions (ie not run by...the people who own the media - Europe doesn't count) have a different opinion than places where the international globalist central bankers don't run the show. If you didnt know, war is BAD for everyone except profit mongers. There 100% WAS fraud. If you disagree you didn't bother checking the veracity of the claims. That's another sign. How about the whole "Biden 100% will NOT be banning fracking or taking jobs from fracking." Guess what...sign. If you're not worried you haven't been paying attention.

[@BbobB508]

Around for few years on YT. It’s time he gets the higher recognition he deserves. Would love to hear his own writing on an album. Amazing cover renditions BUT can only imagine what authentic innovations he has stored in his head! Seriously, he deserves more than he is recognized for.

[@matthammond1737]

The best fingerstyle guitarist I have seen. No frenetic tapping. Smooth groove and really captures the essence of the song.

[@adjie2568]

The nuance he brings kinda send me to fields of gold. Sublime.

[@tblack9711]

Beautiful. The song, the background, the arrangement.

[@YT-ls1hs]

This song brings my old memory back. I feel nostalgic.

[@luisemayo]

Really!! I mean WOW!!! Standing ovation from Australia!!!

[@maxcactus7]

Absolutely GORGEOUS cover of my favorite song by Sting. Truly masterfully executed, both in the music and the visual art accompanying it. And to the three soulless individuals who gave a thumbs down, I will pray that the God of all that is true and good and beautiful enlightens your hearts, minds and souls to such sublime beauty as we heard here.

[@henrybeceiro3712]

You are absolutely right. I can never understand the thumbs down to any of Kent’s videos. These are either individuals who have no understanding of great music, or possibly other KZbin guitarists who are just jealous. Pretty sad, either way...

[@fabiocasale586]

Very good Kent. I follow you every song that you play

[@Jeorge_Supero]

This dude just properly played it with his heart contents, Nailing the nuances and the true sounds of this original song. Not like other guitarists who covers songs in fingerstyle form just to show off nonsense percussions and stuff which do not exhibit in the original song.

[@gregf438]

So good man

[@ben1NZL]

I first heard Eva Cassidy's version of this song many years ago and been a fan ever since. Such a beautiful song and you do it justice Kent. Thank you.

If I were to meet Kent and he asked if I played the Guitar I would tell him NO. ( i 've played for 20 years ! ) Such Talent. I heard him play for the first time yesterday. Awestruck !

You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold [Verse 2] So she took her love for to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold [Verse 3] Will you stay with me? Will you be my love? Among the fields of barley We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we lie in fields of gold [Verse 4] See the west wind move like a lover so Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold [Bridge] I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold We'll walk in fields of gold [Verse 5] Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold [Verse 6] You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold When we walked in fields of gold
