I love his finger positioning on B-minor. Gonna have to try that!!

[@adampoynter6515]

probably the most underappreciated vocalist and songwriter - his range is mind boggling and his songwriting is just epic level.

Well this is just a simple song To say what you done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean Made warm by the sun When I was just nine-years-old I swear that I dreamt Your face on a football field And a kiss that I kept Under my vest; Apart from everything But the heart in my chest [Chorus] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone Could be there’s nothing else in our lives, so critical As this little home [Verse 2] My life in an upturned boat Marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift Girl, what a gift! You tell me with your tongue And your breath was in my lungs And we float up through the rift [Chorus] I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, and bleed like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives, so critical As this little home [Bridge] Well this would be a simple song To say what you done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean Made warm by the sun [Verse 3] Remember walking a mile to your house Aglow in the dark I made a fumbling play for your heart And the act struck a spark You wore a charm on the chain that I stole Especial for you Love's such a delicate thing that we do With nothing to prove Which I never knew SHARE THE LYRICS

This is how I hear the song in my head when I hear it on the radio.
