@tdg7 -- thank you for the kind words! I recommend, if you have the desire, to go check out J. Tillman's version; it is far superior to mine.

@kavin -- thanks for the feedback! I improvised this with my brother several years ago so I wish I could still remember how I played it. But I'm glad that you and others are enjoying it!

Youre really on to something here.

Hi this is my favorite song I've heard on this site!

Nice one

Wow, this is goooooooooooood !!!

nicely done

Something about it, maybe the chord changes. Whatever it is, it got my juices flowing. I can hear (in my mind) a Stratocaster echoing the lyric *"Nothing Else Matters"*

I enjoyed your guitar and voice. A nice, sweet performance. You did a great job keeping it even, volume-wise, and steady, tempo-wise.

Nice track.

Dude this is beautiful. I could see thing on my phone! :D

@GeneEricMann Thanks for your kind words, in particular with regards to my vocals. I know I'm not a gifted singer, but what I lack in skill, I try to make up for in sincerity.

I particularly appreciate the vocals in this one -- strong and well-delivered.

Great lyrics, nice progression of chords, cool electric guitar -- subtle but effective.

I really liked this song! Thanks for sharing. Great lyrics!

Good strumming technique. Nice vocals. Good delivery. Keep it real!

Nice guitar like it

@justinotterguy: Thanks! I think it turned out pretty well. I suggest you check out Low's version, which inspired my version: http://youtu.be/Qy_bQq2sAoA

Good job, and a good choice to cover.

@TheRoseSerumSextet: Thank you for the kind words. Not many are brave enough to listen to my more improvisational stuff, so I do appreciate it!

High praise comparing this song to John Lennon - he's a huge influence on me and so I'm quite honored...and I think this song turned out pretty well under the circumstances (I sang it following the US election). Glad you enjoyed it and, as always, thanks for stopping by to listen!

I'm not sure if you purposely did this (the title of your song suggests it was purposeful), but it sounds like used the first 30 seconds of Aerosmith's "Walking the Dog" to cook up something new and interesting. Cool stuff!

Thanks, Dok! While I didn't write this song, I appreciate the sentiments of this song too. It works on (at least) two levels: one level is the obvious Ram Dass reference while the other is about loving another. Btw, I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stuff!

Thanks, Dok! I know my style isn’t for everyone, so I do appreciate that some of what I post here resonates with you and that you keep coming back to listen.

@TheProods: As always, thank you for stopping by to listen and to give encouragement; I really appreciate it!

I kinda figured the "Empire Builder" comment was yours, Dok, but didn't want to assume anything! And thank you for the warm words for "Lemon Grove Ave." Cool to have folks like you listening and appreciating what I'm playing!

@Guest: Thanks for the kind words! I always try to go with songs that I can imagine a live audience listening to, so it's cool this song was received that way.

It's like Syd Barrett joined Guns N' Roses for a day to rewrite (and sing) their song "Coma." Cool stuff!

Tapping my toe to the rhythm guitar on this one - you're definitely onto something here!

Thanks, Dok! I appreciate the appreciating!

Liking the guitar on this one!

Thanks @doktordoktor! I think you definitely picked up what I was going for on this one. Cool to have the final product received in the way I intended.

Thanks, Colleen! I'm surprised that people are enjoying this one because it is so casually done. I guess it goes to show that simplicity is often the best route.

Sounds like something off an 80s John Carpenter soundtrack. Very cool!

@doktordoktor - Thanks! I know my voice isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so I appreciate the feedback. Keeps me motivated to keep playing, recording, and singing.

Thanks so much for stopping by to listen and provide encouraging words, @peppermintsky! I feel like you've been listening to my stuff longer than almost everyone here, so I feel honored that you keep coming back to listen.

Thank you for the kind words, @Eshar!

@JohnnyStone Thanks for listening!

@TheProods Thank you!

Thanks! @TheProods
