Jay Brannan - String-a-long Song

[@sarahsbooks]

i was remembering this song to day and went back to listen, and it's just as great as i remember. "i owe you one of the few i got left of my nine lives" - such amazing lyrics.

[@xxmoi77]

oh jay. i cannot watch you speak without breaking into a huge grin. "they're just shoulders... you all have em... we all have shoulders." thanks for being a happy spot in my horrible day.

[@shaunbio77]

I have been completly out of the "good music loop" evidently! i discovered this yesterday and have downloaded every possible song in itunes! I am in love!

[@jjasonwrght]

I love the city noises in the background, it actually really compliments the songs!

[@NowXhere]

Haven't listened to his song in years, just found it on an old play list and still know every word. Love it

[@darrenirwin]

man you write the best songs, you are truly my favorite artist so in touch with the disconnectedness of modern life and the foils of the heart and relationships and well the double edged sword of living in this disassociated world......and so tender to boot such a beautiful man for sure.

[@coryabernathy6202]

I've listened to you for years now and you sing the songs of my soul

[@raxacoon]

Whenever I start listening to your music on youtube I soon find myself trapped in a never ending spirale of videos and happiness. I hope I'll make it to a concert one day. You're on my bucket list :)

[@fromama]

im surprised every time i hear one of these songs and fall head over heels with it. in 10 years when the rest of the world catches on, well all be like 'remember when he used to play shirtless on youtube? i was there. watching.' hahha, i can't wait to see you succeed!

[@choupinou69]

I can't help that I wanna see you again... killer line. simple but so beautiful. I feel the same : "I can't help that I wanna see you again!!!"

[@GentleTaipan]

The melody of the pre-chorus is so great! The whole song's great! I love how your song's sad and cheerful at the same time!

[@christinatrillo4749]

This is my favorite song you've ever written and I hope you know I listen to this video, VERY often. So thank you for writing it. I love you. Come to LA.

[@choupinou69]

Again, your words are so well chosen. It exactly describes what i feel right now. I'm heartbroken, it hurts like hell. panic/sadness attacks. thank you for being so talented and sharing your gift with the world. xo

[@taviyo]

All your songs are awesome, but this one is one of my favorites. You are awesome.

[@AxelMacopelli]

This is my favourite of all your songs. By far. I think I've played it like 200 times today, literally. I've become obsessed. It's a little wordy which makes it a little harder to sing along but I like a challenge. Love it! By the way, you're clearly gorgeous! Quit criticising your body! :D

[@perfectchef]

Also, the String-a-long song was amazing. I don't think an artist has touched me like you since I discovered Liz Nickrenz.

[@SalvaSoler]

Great!...like always, of course! I'm waiting for the day you come to sing in Europe!! Berlin is the best city for new artits!!

[@dustinlindellstudios]

oo! This is definately my favorite of your songs. they are all great, but this is VERY FOLK and VERY CATCHY! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LeggITboy]

Wow man..congratulations on iTunes. You have a great gift, and wonderful talent.

[@guyzack327]

I could listen to you everyday for the rest of my life you and your voice are just beautiful

[@rjstua]

Perfect dude. I think the way you capture experiences in your life(I'm guessing they are as you sing with such passion) with your lyrics is stunning. This is music my friend! Love ya! x

[@rjcumigad]

Thanks for making this song Jay! It really speaks to me right now.

[@f3xpgm]

[@supercorey78]

WOW...You're singin' the story of my life right about now! Great Work, Love ya to pieces!

[@devlandiablo]

i just started watching criminal minds, and jay, you look scarily like Spencer Read (Matthew Gray Gubler). That mix of innocence and sass, even more than any physical similarities. Keep up the good work man- you rock!

[@addicted2supermodels]

I cant get over your brilliance!! You amaze me.

[@edster5]

wow. this is just great, finally someone with talent

[@karieanonymous]

i love the pre-chorus, lyrically and every way otherwise

[@AmyriadfthINGs]

stunning.. right into my heart.. sad but beautiful!!

[@dang8352]

Jay, I love this song. I first heard of it and you just two days ago when Paul Hagen mentioned you on SiriusXM's OutQ show, The Focus Group... actually the show was a recording from this time last year. He was saying how he is fond of you as a gay artist writing about gay life. String-a-long Song is really speaking to me as I'm still trying to get over my love for someone over this past year and a half. Thanks Jay!

[@naghdivf]

you have a beautiful voice jay. thank you for watching and listening to my dinky video on here, and i will most definitely continue checking out your videos because i think you're really talented. i'm glad there's innocence to your sound, and your falsetto is extremely lovely as well as pure.

[@aquaman811]

jay-i love when you start laughing while you talk-you make me smile :) love the song,naturally & wish you the best,truly...I always smile when I hear your songs:D Tony

[@dancintherain17]

You are soo amazing!! hehe Ive already bought the album :) I think string-a-long song is one of my favorite songs right next to Soda Shop! Thanks for putting your songs on youtube! keep it up!

[@FantasticBabblings]

Great song. Great voice. And you're really nice to look at.

[@joeysice]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! And i can relate to it very very much!

[@dafttool]

Awesome as always. You speak for many of us with your beautiful songs. I luv what you do. And go shirtless all you like. ;-) Congrats on iTunes. And providing the lyrics is greatly appreciated--many artists aren't nearly so considerate. One suggestion though,... perhaps you could provide some links on your various websites to make it easier for people to buy your movie "Shortbus" now that it is out on DVD.

[@spunkil]

That was so sincere and beautiful. keep up..

[@AxelMacopelli]

You so need to record this song! As great as it is that it's my display video (easy access rocks) I want to put it on my i-pod. Definitely my favourite!

[@astraldimma]

I adore your music, I really do. Your lyrics are beatiful and clever, your guitar playing tasteful and your voice is wonderful; I feel I can just relax when listening to you, as opposed to people who have a tendency to sing a bit out of tune. I hope this comment makes sense, since english isn't my first language. Much love to you! /astraldmma

[@RikuXSora]

AMAZING! Truly beautiful.

[@strobelite33]

[@KICKstartchange]

Oh my god! He's right! I have shoulders! I

[@DrawingWhileTalking]

I really love this song. Most of it flows really well, except the beginning of chorus 1 is a little disjointed, but that's okay. This is now one of my favorites of yours. Also, I like how you talk at the beginning, it helps us get to know you better. I also don't mind you having your shirt off. Who cares? Plus, you're cute. You look good with your shirt off. Keep up the great work! You're really going places!

[@feffany]

Jayyyyyy I love your music. I emailed iTunes to have them add you :)

[@davidmaslow7473]

Nice stuff! Stick to it Jay! Cool guitar work man!

[@tommiji]

At first I thought it said "Sing-Along-Song". I got nervous thinking I'd have to try to sing along with you, lol. That would have been unpleasant. Heh. Anyhow, it's a way nice song. So sweet. Kinda Joni Mitchell-esque. Yeah, great song, man! *applauds*

[@neomargs]

Jesus, I think I'm in love.

[@Deliphius]

You shouldn't worry about not wearing a shirt...its your video that you are taking the time to make...so fuck the haters. I love your music by the way...ever since I first heard Soda Shop in Shortbus

[@awkwardmoments323]

I CRYYYYYYYYYYY

[@HistoryGeek4U]

Nice song.

[@jhoalevan]

Hey man you're great!

[@amuntvalenciane]

I can make the first post, that is cool, anyway I think that the song it is cool. I like listening to your lirycs , you have a nice voice. and I think people ask you to sing without shirt because you are kind of out and interesting, so that is your fans request Anyway Iit is good to know that you are going a lot forward at work. keep the good work One of your fans in Spain, Sebastian

[@lancerooke]

Thanks. This has been quite an entertaining conversation.

[@martinkorben]

my neighbor just knocked on my door and asked if it was me playing the guitar and singing, haha i like you music jay-- if you ever need a tour manager while visiting argentina drop me a line; i'll gladly quit my job as a photographer and do that ! ;)

[@dallasguyz]

Hey JAY!! Wow, yet another AWESOME song from you... I'm impressed! Just keep 'em coming and I'll keep on listening!

[@thespecialkkid]

i was wondering if you could possibly write this song down for me. i would love to learn how to play it. I not to good at reading dots, so tab would be great if you have the time. thanks kris

[@sergiolikesdonuts]

[@LoopyWolf]

[@michaelesparza]

I was impressed with your short role in Shortbus but I had no idea how amazing your voice truely was. You remind me of Jason Mraz but with your own uniqueness. Beautiful song I do admit. I hope you check out my videos. ~Mike
