John Knowles - The Nearness of You

[@lkjl]

When life gets crazy like it does, I come to this lovely song and everything starts feeling just a little brighter, just a little more hopeful. Thank you John Knowles.

[@rameneaterguy]

That was a beautiful comment that I just read, listening to this guy play makes me feel like everything is going to be alright.

[@DUGGER1947]

John knows a beautiful song when he hears it, and arranges it for the guitar in a manner that it has even more beauty. There's a reason John was one of the first to be awarded a "CGP" by Mister Guitar himself, Chet Atkins.

The music, the atmosphere, lines, depth, light, shade, temperature, expression... My soul was silent and filled with peace ... Rare moments when life makes sense. Thank you for this masterpiece .

Wow. So sublime. John is truly a master of writing stunningly gorgeous arrangements. Not a single unnecessary note, everything just flows so beautifully..
