I love how music creates a memory of the song and many of the energies of that current point of time in ones life become attached to the memory, where it then becomes like a time capsule to release all of those feelings and attach new ones....nostalgia? That is why concerts are even cooler because everyone shares it together

[NikeetShah]

This is unbelievable, so smooth, and refreshing. Love the take on it sounds so chill and relaxing and captures the essence of the song!

[BrianZhangMusic]

This is the most creative, innovative and smooth cover of radioactive I've seen James! You're not only a technically skilled guitarist, but you're also a wonderful musician. Great job mate.

[adnox]

this is like taking radioactive and turning it into smooth western song

[katerin]

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We'll paint it red to fit right in
Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Far and away the best arrangement of this song on YouTube! Great Job!

[wilburclifford]

The tuning from low to high seems to be: C, G, D, F, G, C

[kornbread]

Have had many fun times watching youtube guitarist army’s divine melodic craftsmanship and jamming with u guys from afar

[johnsin]

Outstanding, giving me chills, that is how I know it is exceptional

[JasonZimmerman]

Your arrangement of this tune is by far the best one on youtube. I'm kicking around the idea of writing an arr for this one and was just checking out what's out there already. You did a good job of finding a way to smooth out the verses and choruses so the melody notes don't sound all choppy, which most other arrangements I've listened to were just totally choppy and unenjoyable to listen to.

[ansleymorganmusic]

Ahhhh your style reminds me so much of Andy McKee, whom I love. Thank you for sharing your gift. You are so very talented.

[МихаилБайдан]
