The way Julian uses space in this tune is almost worthy of being called a song by itself - I'm pushing 20+ views of this version alone at this point. He somehow relaxes the tune even more than it already is, allowing you to hear every little dynamic turn and small flourish on the way. I'll spend my whole life absorbing the masterclass of tension/release and feel that went into the phrase at 2:10

God, amazing! And Ted Poor absolutely killed it on drums!

[@eugeneunger2473]

enjoyed this a lot when first heard on the radio

This was Mike Elizondo's first appearance on PHC/Live From Here!

[@moogluva4061]

Julian Lage is phenomenal. He sounds like a mellowed-out Danny Gatton. "A former child prodigy, he was only five when began playing guitar; at eight, he was the subject of a 1997 documentary appropriately called Jules at Eight; by the time he was 13, he had appeared on stage at the Grammys."

I *love* I'm With Her's cover/version of this ("Apple Tree").

[@DANIELE7914]

Julian Lage the best acoustic electric guitar player with feeling and super touch!!

[@James.D]

46long Blake dude the drummers smile and the reaction of the guy next to the drummer at that 2:35 mark were priceless.

While Julian Lage deserves a lot of credit for writing this very catchy melody, the song was greatly improved by the addition of lyrics by the members of 'I'm with Her'. Several nice versions of this song by I'm with Her exist on KZbin. Check out any one of them and enjoy Aoife O'Donovan's great vocals.
