Lyrics: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Yeah, we'll be counting stars I see this life, like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line And in my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Yeah I feel your love and I feel it burn Down this river, every turn Hope is our four-letter word Make that money, watch it burn Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Oh, take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Everything that kills me Makes me feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned

[@josiahjohnson8428]

As a guitarist still learning and struggling with finger style I can vouch for how impressive this is and how much practice you he must have put in. GREAT JOB MAN 😄

[@nagi-chan69]

Same over here can you play it now? If yes pls tell a tutorial:)

[@giannagilbert409]

He makes it look so effortless! Your my inspiration to keep persevering

I always listen to your music now when studying/ working, and it seems to have increased both my work efficiency and productivity! Simply amazing! Thanks :)

[@36pollawittanphanich56]

You are so talented.This is the best version I've ever listened to

[@maxdensmore8976]

As a guitarist I can really appreciate the time taken to give it a melody, rhythm and add percussion

[@ahamchandrasen678]

I have been trying to copy

[@hailstorm711]

Such a beautiful cover. Thanks for taking the time to arrange, record and share. Marvelous work.

[@KabooM1067]

I really like the sound of your guitar. I don't know if it's the guitar or the way you pick the strings but either way, it sounds very clean and smooth. Awesome stuff.

[@dantcacenco1]

IMO, it's all of the above. May I add that it's all due to combination of: great guitar acoustics, good strings, talented finger-picking style, and perfect audio post-processing (Mostly EQ, Compression, and Transient control).

[@infamoussnoke9113]

1. His mic is awseome 2. He is awesome 3. His guitar is awesome. But the big reason is the special strings.

[@dantcacenco1]

One sound. Thousand opinions. lmao agreed though.

[@texasdeeslinglead2401]

puru that's a combination of ALOT of factors he's mastered. Definitely starts at the guitar itself , excellent phospor bronze nanoweb strings ( match the way the wood resonates in this guitar) , his style , the pickup, the recording / editing. It all has to be on point , or it would not sound as good as it does. But most importantly , his skill and being willing to put himself into the music.

[@nigelmascarenhas9907]

Infamous Snoke yep

[@kiranprasad2191]

It took some time for me to understand that he is playing notes as well as giving beats simultaneously. Now I love it!!!!!

[@anuragmondal]

Yes

Great choice again James, I never get tired listening your playing... a gifted musician :) Clauss :)

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

+Clauss It only took me three years, but I finally got around to covering it! Haha thanks Clauss :)

[@ClaussGuitar]

+James Bartholomew I guess this song will be a pleasure to listen even after 6 years, so your arrangement is welcome right now. What catches me most is the very clean playing man. I guess not so many guitarists can be proud with this. These are not words just to write a comment, I truly believe it. I work so much to have this clean playing, so you know that I know what I'm talking about. You gain my respect, my subscription and the time to wait and watch with pleasure every Saturday video. Hope I didn't write too much :)

[@JamesBartholomewMusic]

+Clauss Thankyou Clauss :) I'm quite fussy when it comes to recording, so I didn't think this was as clean as usual but I guess that comes from listening to it many many times! I spend a long time doing takes when recording, I like to focus on the feel and will sometimes spend hours recording until I'm happy haha. But nothing motivates me to get better more than not being happy with a recording :) Thankyou again, continued support like yours helps motivate me to keep working hard on my videos, it still amazes me that so many people watch them, or even care who I am!
