Theo Katzman - Good to be Alone

[@birth0fserpents]

this might be your best song! forreal!

[@theokatzman]

i think it's my best song--glad you do too!

[@birth0fserpents]

Theo Katzman GREAT MINDS, THEO

[@jagstang4444]

Theo, can I just put this song in my back pocket?

[@kennet7837]

Theo Katzman This is my favorite song of yours too, followed by "Crappy Love Song" (live version from Jam in the Van).

[@jezjez5070]

Wow! Stunning! As is the album 👏

[@Crispybeats.]

In my opinion, musicality is judged by the ability of a song to spread a certain emotion. Every time I listen to Good to be Alone, I feel Theo's emotions. I understand what demons and angels were flowing through his body and spirit when he composed this masterpiece. Melancholic yet somewhat tranquil. The convincing of one's self that they are better off alone. trying to push forward in a world where they feel solitude and isolation. This song brings a stone to my throat but a smile to my face. Theo is a very honest man. He has no fear in showing his true self through the music he releases into this world. That is the definition of a true musician, the meaning of a true artist. It takes plentiful courage and outstanding amount of love. Thank you Theo.

[@esccp1]

Theo is the Freaking Man. Spotless, creative, emotional. GENIUS.

[@PoftSarade]

Not many things give me feels. I was not expecting to get them from this song. Just awesome.

[@BjorfRodriguez]

HB and J Same tbh

[@theokatzman]

mission accomplished:) thank you so much for listening

[@BjorfRodriguez]

just got out of a long term relationship, decided to come back to this. lots of tears.

[@skipws]

hey man, I hope things are going better

[@harmpie75]

Same man... Now that it's been two years, have things gotten better?

[@1205xkiller]

Too busy with your new flex? That's what I hope 💕

[@brandonandalexander]

Give us an update my man!

[@BjorfRodriguez]

@@brandonandalexander thanks for the support y’all. i’m well, and i found someone better than i could have imagined.

[@MrCliffybiro]

You have such a beautiful soul, and it shows in your music. Love you, Theo.

[@andrewleib2306]

Beautiful comment and compliment

[@smctunes]

I'm 42, and I have always looked for great music. I can't believe I did not stumble across your solo work, or Vulfpeck, in all these years. Well, the Gods of the Algorithm finally did me a solid and showed me all of this amazing stuff. Thanks for existing!

[@FreePercussion]

Man you have a lot of great music ahead. Have you seen Antwan Stanley and Cory Wong sing Bridge Over Troubled Water backstage yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5i6lK2LZsp3sJIsi=QMctmb2Ls99FOKbg

[@zorm]

no matter how life changes me, nothing changes that you are my favorite artist. keep up the good work. some of us need it.

[@theokatzman]

that means so much to me. honored and thankful

[@BillPelican]

It's just over a year now since the love of my life left me - we were just kids when we came together. Every night I go to sleep thinking of her, and she's back on my mind even before I wake up. I fall in love with her every day, even though she's hundreds of miles away. We spoke on the phone today for the first time in months. It's good to be alone, but it isn't at all.

[@chetpoete]

Looking out my rear view mirror The miles behind don't disappear Like they used to When I was with you However hard I hit the gas The engine don't run half as fast As it once did When we were just kids All of the good old days are gone But this life keeps rolling on On and on... It's good to be alone No one to call you on the phone After a month out on the road No one to tell you welcome home No one to scratch you down your back No one to cut you any slack You got to scratch it on your own It's good to be alone The mountain tops don't stand so high The open road ain't quite as wide As it once seemed When we had the same dream The evening stars don't shine so bright When we don't make love through the night Like we once did Yeah, those lights are faded All of the good old days are gone But this life keeps rolling on On and on... It's good to be alone No one to call you on the phone After a month out on the road No one to tell you welcome home No one to scratch you down your back No one to cut you any slack You got to scratch it on your own It's good to be alone Alone, alone Alone, alone Alone, alone You'll learn to scratch it on your own It's good to be alone

[@RazHafeez]

Kept it together until “You’ll learn to scratch it on your own” 😭 This one’s a masterpiece ❤

You've got an unfailing knack for writing melodies, harmonies and lyrics that feel reassuringly familiar yet fresh and original at the same time. I'd be jealous like mad if I weren't too busy just enjoying the music :)

[@theokatzman]

thank you!

[@Roslynn846]

This version is somehow better than the original. So good ❤

[@nsmader]

Theo, man, there are artists that I love to spin. There are artists whose chops that I wish I had, and some whose soul I wish I had. But for you I *also* wish I knew you personally to meaningfully wish you well. (And now I'm off to share you music.)

[@theokatzman]

thank you! beyond honored

[@yuphinsrikhmbang889]

Good job. This is me. 💕💕💕💕in deed alone is the best moment in life. No love no hurts. No attached, love is suffering of all. Freedom free souls.

[@pooheamcharoenying2245]

Loving your music from Thailand. Beautiful song.

[@handknitviolin]

I listen to your stuff and I think, "man, this guy really had his heart broken." It helps me to know I'm not alone (well, I am, but you know what I mean). It's so cathartic. Your music means so much to me. Thank you.

[@amandadoi83]

Loss comes in all forms man

[@amandadoi83]

Feel better . Hugs.

[@Austinjames314]

this song carried me through the toughest break up i ever had. Thank you for your gifts brother. MUCH love.

[@jas_bataille]

I just recently met "the" one and this made me realize how precious every second spent with her are. And that even if people are real soulmates, and really want to make a family together for life, sometimes - sometimes, life have other plans. But for now, I enjoy it, and I will, every second, as long as it lasts. Because every second with your soulmate is a whole eternity.

[@RKTfilms]

I feel this man, all the best with finding the path you want to be on in life, and with the right person!

[@misterjohnlove]

By all means I'm a passion over practical kind of guy, but family stresses and issues as well as wanting to one day have a family and a sustainable means of living pushed me into a career that has only felt like the lesser of all evils...I've been playing since I was 15 and nothing I have ever experienced has made me feel like what getting on stage and being my truest self feels like. At this point I have a full time job, while also rehearsing, recording, and gigging 4-6 times every week trying to build this dream. The schedule, the constant hustle, and the perceived "temptations" have prevented all worthy relationships from ever having a chance. I can't describe the feeling of pursuing your true calling while it prevents what feels like true love to manifest, but this song helps me make sense of it. While I hope I am not getting jaded on the idea of love, sometimes it truly is good to be alone.

[@JonesJr_art]

This song and performance seems effortless and natural... hits in the feels for sure. A true highlight of your talent. You're a true talent Theo.

[@Mathemusician97]

I was not expecting such a heartfelt song but i wasn’t disappointed!

[@FunkyStevieJay]

Just recently have been overwhelmed with a new burning passion for songwriting. I cant get enough of this song. Just your songwriting in general. Will be playing this at the next few gigs for sure

[@theokatzman]

thank you! i am honored

[@satvrno5382]

Why would someone dislike something so beautiful?

[@iamtcha123]

Profundly simple.....💕

[@CoryWongMusic]

ridiculous delivery AND songwriting. 10/10

[@maxigoodvibes]

man man man... I fucking love all the funky shits you do with vulpeck and so on. But your voice man... There's too few videos where we can really enjoy your voice. This is one of those... thanks man. I need more though... cause your voice man... you know...

[@maxigoodvibes]

okay never mind... just found your lagunitas beer circus session. eargasm... thanks

[@philavon1358]

This is the best love song ever written ever. Period.

[@comehomeshane]

Theo, you’re one of the best song writers of our generation. Keep it up man.

[@tomtownsend5009]

Theo, you are one hell of a writer, player, and performer. I've only recently found you and the guys you work with, and it's what I've been searching for for so long!! I'm a singer/songwriter/drummer too, and I'm so inspired right now. Thanks for this amazing music. Coming to the UK any time soon? I could hook you up... :-)

[@theokatzman]

thank you! Just announced a London date!

[@davidtaylor5038]

Theo Katzman any more plans to come to the uk in the future mate?

[@tremaynetyler947]

This guy is so fricken talented, so surprised at the range of his songs!

[@tunnodule5166]

This one stings right down deep Theo. My tortured soul is crying. Peace and love from Minneapolis

[@jg-di5it]

Connecting w this song so much the last few days. Thanks Theo.

[@johanb5833]

I was losing my time on those vulfpack instrumental jams -- and they are great. But nothing beats real songwriting... Great three chord song are like love poetry... such a cliché but unbeatable when done right. Like you did here. First line is vaguely echoing Don Henley's *End of the Innocence* -- great!

[@theokatzman]

thank you, huge compliment, I love Henley

[@Shaneofearth]

Johan B i thought i was the only one who did that... i dissect everything i hear, and end of the innocence kept overlaying when i listen to this... i dropped my guitar in c# and played this a million times... insanely amazing lyrics, hell the whole package.. i Love covering this.

[@jonathanbolger6173]

I keep coming back to this version. Its like my example when im stuck tryna write melodies or just feel like its not happening. This is like so sparse and beautiful.

[@rururu4024]

undoubtedly my fave song from his performance with joey dosik at ann arbor. good to see it in even better quality. keep up the great work, theo!!!!!

[@tesanh]

Man, I get drip fed your songs through the tube... every single one is a jem. Keep doing what you're doing. I'm surprised the big 'entertainment machine' hasn't picked you up in a bigger way. But I also think that neither you, not any of your fans really want that... cheers.

[@dagodan]

What a bautiful song, guy ! Congrats and amitiés from France !

[@TTttt293]

Found your song while randomly shuffling on Spotify....man you're really really talented

[@ethan-loves]

Man, I'm getting some Bahamas (Afie Jurvanen) vibes from this one. Hard-hitting.

[@simonhirstofficial]

What an absolute crushing song, and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible!

[@stasstolat533]

I really dig your music. Very Honest. Alone is all we really are.

[@melomane]

It’s bizarre how much better he is at everything than everybody else

[@SPBTheHuman]

I feel touched by the emotion that comes from your music.

[@mrnickless]

I split with my girlfriend this week and it killed me. I love her. But your music is healing me broken heart and soothing my damaged soul.

[@utub1473]

I'm sorry to hear that. You just gotta keep pushing forward. Find the things that have always brought you joy and let them comfort you. Soon enough things will be even better than before.

I'm jamming on that Henley-Frey groove going on there. Almost a rebuttal to "Desperado."

[@MichaelWagnerGuitar]
