It's 2023 and I'm still listening to this sing - one of my favorites ever! Thank you so much, John, for all the soul you put in your art! I always share your songs with my friends and your music really talks to me! Cheers from Brasil!

The feeling of listening to this after a busy day, indescribable.

Thank you, John Butler, from the bottom of my heart. Your music reminds me how important it is to feel. I ain't foolin', it's a lifesaver, a lighthouse. Thank you. Thank you. <3

Need a reminder of how beautiful life really is? Just listen to any John Butler song. Have not found another artist who can evoke such rich and beautiful emotions through song. Thank you.

This song will always hold a special place in my heart.

Tell me where life goes in such a rush
Like that melted snow in your blue eyes
No one ever could try to tell us
Both were young and full of all our lies

We got in real deep they all could see
Running from the sun casting our shadows
No one trusted us not even me
We hung ourselves to rot upon our gallows
Lies
We built our castles high upon the rise

Oh, so young, young and wild [x4]

Tell me where life goes with some old friends
'Cause we don't see each other anymore
All candles do melt, we burnt both ends
And there is nothing left we have in store
Down
I saw myself there lying on the ground
You blew your breath
Deep into my soul
Where we have been
No one will ever know
Where we have been no one will ever know

Oh, so young, young and wild

One of the most moving songs I've heard in a long time Mr. Butler. Can't hear it enough. The older I've gotten, the less emotional I've become, but I'm bawling like a baby right now.

Accidentally clicked on this song while I was sleeping, man what a beauty to wake up to. Such a lovely, soothing voice and sound

[pedrosilvastone]

So beautiful and so emotional. I spent a big portion of the 2020 listening to this song while on quarentine. Thank you John buttler for putting this together.

[ArgyllPiper]

The song grows old but my love for this song gets stronger! So powerful! Cheers John

[ogersteiner]

Thank you John for your amazing art. It fills my heart with love and hope for all humanity. My Fathers name is John and he passed away a year and a half ago. John is one of my favorite names.

That look he gives at the end of the song where it seems as if he just entered that time frame and sang his story face to face to the one he had to let go. You can tell he doesn't want to open his eyes to come back to reality but stay just a bit longer. The sad, empty, nostalgic gaze. I am too familiar with this currently; but having a song to relate with on the same level helps significantly. Thank you John

[blakeeasley]

come on! this is one of the best songs ever made. period! the emotion is indescribable. the lyrics are universal. don't ever stop listening there is a reason this song touches your soul. contemplate and repeat. please!

[ogersteiner]

Every time I listen to John I just feel stress melting away. What an amazing person.

[ClaytonLeblanc]

This is such a beautiful song. Makes me think of my life's decisions.. good and bad. Makes me wonder what it would be life if I did things differently. Makes me think of the people iv helped and also people iv hurt, people iv stepped on to get ahead but ultimately ended up nowhere but where I began. Life is what you make it... think of what you can do to improve yourself and accept responsibility for the wrongs you have done to your friends, family and yourself. Everybody deserves to be at peace with themselves.. something iv struggled for a long time with... Iv always loved people more than iv loved myself despite what iv done wrong.. I can be selfish at times as anybody can be, but letting it eat you up inside for wanting to be normal is natural.. The problem with that is nobody is normal, we are who we are, we are unique. We all make mistakes.. Acceptance and forgiveness is the only peace anybody will ever truly find for others and themselves. This song hits me hard.. John butler, you wrote a masterpiece and I will forever hold this song in my heart as I am sure you do.. Spread the love and keep writing beautiful music.

[mattshackelford]

This is the most beautiful song i've ever heard.... brilliant...

[austinbeatty]

Songs like this remind my baby mom and I on how much we love each other and how we will never forget it for as long as we are young wild, .... and with each other till our funeral

[dannybogacki]

I just find it hard to believe, how amazing this song is.

[BiankaRainbow]

You play with such emotion and such depth. It's like you pourring your soul out for the whole world to intake with the guitar there to catch it all.

Thank you for existing at the same moment as me. I very much appreciate your sharing. Virtual hug from Quebec 🌎☄

[deboramestieri]

How can he make me cry every single time.

[orangecucamonga]

Thank you for always putting musicality first. Instead of just showing off your technical prowess, it's about the creative artistry above all. Thanks again.
