You pull of the vocals and manage to make this sound full even with very minimalist guitar. Nice job, James

so so vulnerable and fragile and this is why its so so strong-gorgeous.

This song heart-wrenchingly beautiful. I hope I won't cry any more today than I already have, but this song had me on the verge of tears.

Marvellous, James. A beautiful broke-down song and rebirth at the turn of the year.

Beautiful song JTR. Love how the guitar pedals around that simple chord with different bass notes

Welcoming the tenderness in this one today :)

I appreciate this type of approach you can take (it's awesome how strong you are in a variety of approaches/styles so don't feel you have to do any specific style if you don't want to) but the way you successfully slow it down (without it feeling too slow) is really effective in drawing the listener in

"Look 0ut World" (#426, 201220)

L o o k out world I'm gonna' try
See this new determination in my eyes
I know my steps have wandered far
But here and now I've gotta' make a brand new start

L o o k out world I'm gonna' jump
And find out all the things I can become
No giving up now no turning back
Just these two soles that make their way along the tracks

L o o k out world I'm fallin' down
I did my best but I can't handle it right now
The lights are blinding there's all this noise
Nobody's listenin' to this little tiny voice

L o o k out world I'm standin' up
I got these boot straps that I'm pullin' from the mud
There's no more weakness or things to prove
And there ain't nothin' in this world that I can't do
