One of the most talented guitar singer songwriters I have seen in the most recent times. Amazing voice, simply stellar guitar playing and his original works are a graceful and beautiful mix of lyrics, chord progression and a perfect match for his voice style.
You can find him on iTunes as he just released his first album. You can also find him in YouTube for a good mix of Original Works and some amazing Covers like Leave from Glen Hansard and the movie Once, Postal Service's Such Great Heights and a fantastic version of Ben Harper Show Me A Little Shame and Stevie Wonder Knocks Me Off My Feet.
This song is not on the album, but a wonderful new original song, great lyrics and perfect melody.
Somethin' 'bout the way you
Move your fingers like they're
Figure-skatin' hearts across my back
Overwhelms me with profound emotions
In the deepest parts I always thought I lacked...
But this love is just what I came here for
This love is what opened up the door
This lovin' is what brought me to your bed
This lovin' will love you when you're dead
No more hesitations,
Second guesses are for
Lovers lost inside their frames of mind
Hope will guide you through the night...
But this love is what makes it all worthwhile
This love has the likeness of a child
This lovin' is what brought me to my knees
This lovin' is the lovin' that I need
Will you love me if you please?
You are the lovin' that I need...
