The song is perfect example that sometimes less is more. In this case, tremendously. I consider myself very lucky, that I discovered Avi Kaplan's music. It is extraordinary in many ways.

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

Thank you for your comments. He is extraordinary. 🙂

Avi had been wanting to work with this pianist for a long time and it finally happened. They were perfect together. Avi loves bringing hope. He is sure there is a healing as he has been able to find healing for himself.

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

They were! Thank you for commenting. 🙂

Great reaction! In terms of the song, Avi said he hopes people can have a good cry and move forward. As far as the repetitive healing vocal, I think it's more of a mantra instead of meditative. And yes, Avi's vocals are always beautiful! Cheers!

Thank you! 🙂

He has such a variety of songs out, and every one speaks to the heart. The gorgeous voice goes without saying! You can catch Daniel Ellsworth, the pianist, rocking out with him on the live at Sunset Sound version of "When I'm a Fool." Burns the house down!

I love to hear Avi’s voice and this was amazing to. This was a nice smooth and beautiful song from Avi. Thanks Ron! Hugs from Jeanette and Sweden😊🇸🇪

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

My pleasure, Jeanette. All best wishes from here. 🙂 I am in fact "healing" (or I hope so) at the moment. The pain is still severe, but I think there is movement in the right direction.

“I’m expecting great things”. You’re right, Avi never disappoints. I love this song, it truly is healing. And that voice! We are so lucky that Avi shares his talent with us. Please add “It knows me” (lyrics video) and “Quarter past four” to your list. Btw, the piano player par excellence is Daniel Elsworth.

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

Thank you. I have added those songs to my list. 🙂

[@kathyfolkerts4433]

Also, if you haven't yet, Change On The Rise and I'm Only Getting Started are some bangers you shouldn't miss. "The First Place I Go" also draws from that southern gospel style.

[@staciemoisa4884]

This one hits me hard! Avi is just incredible!

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

I agree. 🙂

Great to see a reactor who "gets" Avi's talent ~ ~ and Daniel Ellsworth ~ they are so amazing together! Thank you, more Avi reactions, please ~

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

Thank you so much! 🙂

Interestingly, Avi has said that, before going into the studio to record this, he did a scratch recording of his vocal (as is typical of many artists). After doing several takes in the studio and sitting down with everyone involved, it was agreed that his raw scratch vocal was the best and so it was used. Here he is talking about that. kzbin.infoxTd7_18EaeA Oh, and the man on the piano is Daniel Ellsworth, who was the keyboardist on Avi's first solo tour back in 2019, and he's also the one who played the piano on all 4 songs in the Sunset Sound Session ("When I'm a Fool" especially).

Thank you for commenting and the information. 🙂

I agree - this is such a beautiful song. As others have said Daniel Ellsworth is the pianist. He played with Avi on the 'Floating On a Dream' LP and subsequently on the 'Live at Sunset Sound' ep. His playing really works well with Avi's songs.

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

They are great together. 🙂

[@loritoigo8020]

He is so powerful and beautiful. More Avi.😅

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

More to come. 🙂

[@mariawilliams4941]

Thank you for this reaction, as other comments have said Avi never disappoints, he has been underrated for quite a while, so hopefully now he will shine 💜💜

It is. 🙂

I always expect great things from Avi, and of course he never disappoints. Avi's range and control is just Amazing. This is a Beautiful song, and Daniel Ellsworth does a great job on piano. I agree with you, I love the simplicity of the piano & green backdrop - makes you focus on the incredible lyrics. Thanks for reacting, I enjoyed your take. 😍

[@rjjsreactions-rk7zh]

You are so right - he never disappoints. Thank you so much for commenting. 🙂
