[@streamingscreens9931]

Cut to today, July 4 2024, and he just sang this live in downtown Auckland, New Zealand with Matiu the lead singer of Six60. Full Circle moment for me. Kia Ora brother !!

[@christinaday-bassett8399]

I haven't "felt" a song since loosing my brother 5 years ago and I felt this. Your voice reaches deep into my soul and stirs something. Keep singing. You have an amazing gift.

[@dbrutiger8232]

Keep finding little KZbin gems to lift our souls when the weight of the world is coming down ❤

Teddy has a unique voice and feel. Buddy you deserve a shot in the music industry 1000%. I am recovering from a deep depression,being suicidal for more than a year and your way of singing is moving me beyond anything and helps me to get in touch with whatever is left of my soul and mind. Thank you for that

OMG!!! WHY IS THIS MAN AND BAND NOT ON EVERY RADIO STATION AND TV SHOW. OBVIOUSLY ALL THE "MUSIC" PRODUCERS IN THE WORLD AREN'T WATCHING "KZbin" DURING THEIR TIME IN QUARANTINE. BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE THEM FIGHTING OVER HIM. AND IT'S HARD TO DO, BUT DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING HE SINGS IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL, ESPECIALLY THIS 1. I HAD NEVER HEARD THIS SONG, AND HE HAS MADE ME LOVE IT, AND I'VE WATCHED THIS VIDEO A 100 TIMES NOW. MAYBE "ELLEN" WILL SEE HIM. 😉😁 Y'ALL KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING, AND DON'T CHANGE A THING. AND YOU DEFINITELY HAVE 1 MORE "NUMBER 1" FAN.

His commitment to express such profound emotion through sound alone is absolutely brilliant to say the least.., His performance was absolutely extraordinary with a magical voice to make any song sung his own like a true Bearded Artiste like Ned Kelly. So keep up the great work to all those good influences that are helping a great man achieve his goals through passion. He's gonna be a name held in high esteem and remembered throughout history as The legendary Teddy Bear Swims. Fucken Legend

[@Venusbabe66]

Tom, I agree with your assessment of Jaten's extraordinary talent. However, what this beautiful, loving, peaceful soul has to do with a glorified, murderous criminal like Ned Kelly is beyond me... apart from the fact they both have a beard. This beautiful man is love personified... the very opposite of the destruction and callousness for which Ned Kelly is 'legend'.
