Carson has a voice for the generation and is developing his writing chops. Together these two make magic. That we get to listen to them regularly on KZbin is a delight.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

it'll be interesting to see where they're at in a decade -

[@wystemd]

never stop making music together!

[@adgevers9652]

I'm 75 jears old, and this brings me back to the sixties, wonderful!

[@tanyaraven9492]

Me, too. It's nice to know the future of music is guaranteed with these two and their talented friends.

[@roadking2345]

Who needs a studio, anyway? The sofa nails it. Lovely song.

[@EarToTheGroundMusic]

They certainly get the most out of their equipment. Very impressive.

[@richardosullivan8102]

This evokes all the feelings I want to feel when istening to music. I have nothing but praise

[@mattbrown3091]

the bonus of quarantine lockdown is I have more time to listen to Carson and Josh on repeat

[@davidemazzer1358]

I'm always amazed of the natural way Carson uses the right hand during the arpeggio. Even the most skilled player leaves traces of long hours of practice. To him it looks like mixing the sugar in a cup of coffee.

[@dannymaenhaut262]

thanks !!! I like you both, and the way you play en sing together !!! Danny from Aalter-Belgium !

[@geneedwards5639]

These two guys are just about the best. Everything they do is superb!

[@barryhaynes103]

You guys make that look so easy ... that’s a hit ....

That's a real nice government-subsidised active bass you've got there Josh

[@danieltmurphy]

I've seen "government-subsidized" with reference to guitars several times now. What's the deal? I guess I missed something

[@aarond23]

@@danieltmurphy In Josh's last video he had a 'script' on the screen and he wrote 'government subsidized' bass.....non one really knows what that means but I'm going to guess that he spent some of the covid 19 relief money that everyone got on this bass

[@danieltmurphy]

@@aarond23 Gotcha! Yeah, I saw that too and wondered what he meant

[@DavidJeffK421]

[@librarianrobert7426]

The talent represented in this video is frighteningly massive!

[@mdoval4472]

Im speechless... Just wanna say thank you. THANK YOU!

[@Paul-fp1gr]

Strange regardless of age group these two guys are a treat to listen to. The skill level of both make their music timeless.

[@hw8140]

Carson has the voice of an angel

[@woodge4248]

Feet up chilled out and listening to this beautiful song thanks guy's

[@gerryhealy1832]

Excellent stuff fellas 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😎👍👍👍👍

[@conanseibel4464]

If it were the 60’s or 70’s, these two would be packing arenas around the world.

[@khyoubu-opou4880]

The time has come for me to lay down my weapons Have you heard them won before? I am sure you have Sometimes I feel like I am talking just to talk Feeling bad just to feel bad But it's upto me What kind of love I bring It's upto me What kind of song I sing I could set this poor heart free But it's upto me The heat is on Too many cooks in the kitchen Have you felt like that before? I am sure you have Sometimes I feel like I am lying to myself Seeing things through strange eyes But it's upto me What kind of love I bring It's upto me What kind of song I sing I could set this poor heart free I could set it all in the sea But it's upto me Yea, it's upto me It's upto me It's upto me

[@Julsran]

2nd line: "Have you heard that one before?" Throughout the song it's "up to" me.

[@jjs9672]

Instead of "I could set it all in the sea" it's "sink in the sea"

[@martinhowerton9038]

Wow Carson your pipes were really on display today!! What a catchy melody and oh so sweet harmonies!!

[@billmartin4541]

Very nice. Mellow sound and beautiful vocals.

[@JacoboVillarreal]

Thought this was a cover of my favorite Bob Dylan song 'Up to me' and got excited. Still, I was far from disappointed that it wasn't. Great job as always!

[@marys3333]

Your song has a deep sense. It means much to me. It is up to me... Thank you for this good song and these good words and feelings. ❤

[@naturalfarmingsystems575]

Brilliant. I can see this as the opening scene music for a Biopic somewhere down the track.

[@johncfalk]

Damn. What a gorgeous song. An important one. I needed a song like this.

[@pitchyyen7474]

what a coincidence. just as you uploaded this, I also just finished writing my original called "Up to You."

I could listen to this sing over and over. I can hear both Dylan's and McCartney's influences here. You're very talented Carson!

Wowowowow!! Sooooo good to hear you guys again together! Now I can cope with another three months of lock down easily. Thank you!
