Probably the best rock vocalist on the planet right now

[RCNobles]

Anyone who is not hearing Jay sing is missing the best singer of this generation.

I remember years ago, standing amongst like 10 people in downtown Long Beach, watching Jay play his set. I stood there almost not believing what I was hearing to the point where I considered myself one of the luckiest 10 people on earth. I wished everyone could hear what I was hearing. His personal album still might be my all time favorite. Later, he joined a band I knew as “Black summer crush, ” only they had a new name. It was called Rival Sons. Even then, a for years, I would watch Jay, and I would watch Rival Sons. Tiny minimal crowds stood there in disbelief over and over. It makes me very happy that now the world hears these guys. Earth deserves it.

One of the best singers on this planet. Unbeliebable voice, I love this guy. Rival Sons are incredible live. ❤️😎

[doctordox]

I love this dude. A once in a generation talent. The real deal

[grumpydrunken]

I could listen to this man sing the damn phone book.

If you have never seen The Rival Sons live, you must see them. The first time I saw them I thought to myself that he was singing so loud and hard that he was gonna blow his voice out early. That was the third song into their set. Not only did he prove me wrong, he actually got louder and harder as their set went on. Ever since then, I have seen them whenever they come around. Taking small road trips just to see them. Not only is Jay one of the best singers, but the whole band is equally as talented at their instruments as Jay is with his. I blame the current state of the music industry for these guys not being on top of the Rock Carts. Their body of work is superb compared to other bands putting out similar stuff.

"we'll never know who we are, at best we're some spin off of who we'd like to be.." great lyric

[katherineritter]

Absolutely the most soulful voice. I had the privilege of seeing you at the shelter in Detroit and it is forever ingrained in my brain. This
was about 20 years ago. The imprint is powerful. Thank you Jay. ❤

[joshpandh]

I really wish this was on Spotify. It's just fantastic.

[simonfrombrum]

This is pure gold ! What a class act, no gimmicks, just stand with a guitar and sing from the heart.

[andersonentertainment]

Jay Buchanan is the soul of Rock and Roll.

Amazing voice, and an amazing song writer.

[sandbiker]

Jay has the "gift". He is a must see performer, a true musical artist.

[androidlaki]

In a way I wish this guy would become more popular - then, in a way, I'm just glad we have him
all to ourselves.

[lucashenderson]

god damn he can sing. what a set of pipes!

[askledhead]

This song has come a long way from years ago, I'm glad Jay has stayed true to his musical desires and continues to share them . I hope we can hear more of Jays' solo stuff with his move to Tennessee . Jay has to be 1 of our greatest modern day lyricists ✌

[FranciscoHernandez-nikd]

This guy was born to sing. He breathes Music. We're truly lucky to share his time on Earth.

amazing lyrics! ...
We'll never know who we are
at best we are some spin off of who we'd like to be
there are ghosts in the attic that keep us aware
there's more to this than we can see
you stare at yourself like a star
that gets brighter when you fly in your dreams
What the mirror won't show you is the void that you feel
is only as large as it seems

feel better, you and I, we are gonna fade away together
this world is ours while we're in it
you grab a hold of my hand
and we can take it
together we're alive within the one passing minute
it could be gold if we make it
I believe we can make it

so you can stand at the library walls
with the great minds of history
all the beggars at your feet
you know the books are like the faces that you pass everyday
but you don't make the effort to meet
you stare at yourself like a star
that's been dying just to bring you its light
but the less that you focus
the more you can see

we all shine the brightest in peripheral sight, yeah
feel better, you and I, we are gonna fade away together
well, this world is ours while we're in it
grab a hold of my hand
and we can take it
together we're alive within the one passing minute
it could be gold if we make it

so we're both out on our own islands
but I can still see you, you're seeing me
through the prison bars of our own self expectations
that were built by the ones who tell us who we're supposed to be to feel
feel better, you and I, we are gonna fade away together
this world is ours while we're in it
grab a hold of my hand
and we can take it
together we're alive within the one passing minute
but it could be gold if we make it
I believe we can make it
feel better, you and I, we are gonna fade away together
you feel, we are gonna fade away together
ooh
