Josh Doyle, "The Meaning of Life" // Take Away

[@ThePhoenixAscendant]

When I was listening to this song and looked away, I saw flashes of Bob Dylan in my mind's eye. Beautiful song. It looks like you had fun making the video and enjoy singing, two things which shine through an artist's work and make it all the better. Keep it up! (Btw... love the video as well. It is intimate and artistic, both of which are sorely lacking in today's music videos I find.)

[@pkfirematt]

I find myself still coming to this video, 8 years later, after writing 4 different papers about the song throughout my time in high school. I've tried to explain how it pertains to transcendental beliefs, how it is a call to action, and numerous other purposes that make it such a good song, but there's something about it, both the song itself and the quality of recording, that you can't really explain of how powerful it is, and how meaningful and beautiful it all is. Thanks Anthony, for continuing to follow your dreams of the channel, for helping artists like Josh, Lost Dog, and many others by giving them a platform to play their music stripped down, and thank you, for giving us all the pleasure of seeing and listening to music in it's purest form.

[@GemsOnVHS]

thanks for the thoughtful comment my friend. a good song certainly can transcend. just another mode of communication, better thank talking in my opinion!

[@pkfirematt]

@@GemsOnVHS Hey man if you ever make your way up to Wisconsin, specifically near the Minnesota-Iowa border, contact me and I'd be happy to entertain y'all with a song or two of my own

[@bdamia]

Sometimes talent simply goes unnoticed, sometimes it's simply not there and sometimes it's simply not worthy of our time or energy...this young man has the talent, that's obvious and it's certainly worth a listen and frankly, I wish I got more unsolicited emails that introduced me to super talented up and coming artists...keep up the "great" work Josh...you will get wherever you want to go...thanks for sending it to me...

[@meechellla]

Here I am. Still loving this song. Incredible man. Thanks so much ✌🏼❤️

[@Selenite11]

Beautiful. "The meaning of life is to find your way home." You've just provided food for my soul. That's what music is all about. Thank you.

[@McNea1234]

Young Bob Dylan - your voice is so amazing...anyone can connect with your words and your voice just allows the words to be internalized to a higher plane of understanding.

[@canyayasis]

Josh, I could watch you strum and sing all day long!!

[@SpiralheartMedia]

Bravo, Josh! never get tired of your songs. sing it!!

[@GemsOnVHS]

A saint and a scholar you are.

[@hischildtwo]

What an amazing song who cares about the camera just let you light shine and continue to bless us with beautiful music like this.... This song is so true in so many ways I can't even explain how this made me feel... I have chills all up and down my body.... your great and this song is one of my favorites of all time now..... God bless

[@TSBA92]

I keep listening to this over and over again. Brilliant stuff

[@2ridethewave]

I really loved this. I loved how raw it is, set against the river, just you and the guitar and the way the song builds up. Great job photographing it with the clouds reflecting in the water and by the time the song was 3/4 of the way through, I had tears in my eyes because it really struck an emotional chord with me. Really great job! It's going to be my Sunday share.

[@Littlemisspixiepixie]

Just brilliant, Josh. As ever. And the version on your web site - simply beautiful. I don't know, you know, but it seems to me that you have stitched back that purity. And here it is.

[@gypsylor]

Very nice. I grew up in So.Cal. in the '60s and '70s. And as I listened I had to close my eyes and go back there for a few moments. Very nice indeed.

[@Robbiebourg]

One of My fav songs by Josh love this version the best!!

[@deeliciousplum]

[@breakingmath1]

What a landscape!!! Looks like if you're inside a tear men . . . greetings from Venezuela

[@MsTarantism]

I love the passion and drive in this song.. The concept of "home" is an important one in today's modern world where we can feel disconnected from our deepest nature and from a sense of place.Some say, "Home is where the heart is?" What do you think? In your video location I saw "home" in the beautiful reflections in the water behind you. Thank you for this song.
