Very nice song and performance! The guitar chord changes are reminiscent of some of the Beatles songs which I always really liked.
Wonderful song! Your vocals are immaculate and the gently played acoustic guitar sounds lovely.
As for the songwriting. The song sounds like a classic already :) The lyrics are positive and easy to relate to.
As an aside. It looks like you're one of those players whose at ease with fingerpicking and also using the fingers like you'd have plectrum at hand.

Hi hardlock,
Thanks for the great comments. I love the Beatles, and grew up with all their songs, and that might be the reason for my sound.

Hi Zoltan, Your comments are so much loved, and I am truly humbled. You are absolutely correct, I love to play guitar with just my fingers, no picks. For the last 10 years, I have been trying to improve on fingerstyle guitar music, and actually reading and playing the melody of the song, and guitar soloing by using scales and arpeggios. Thanks for the wonderful feedback!!!
Respectfully,
Rene
Lot of passion - and ability - in your performance. Enjoyed that.
A lovely sentiment and another beautiful performance.
I too hear the Beattle influence and a bit Mr. Bojangles, too.
Nicely done, Rene

M diggin the way you say the word "home"... such conviction!
I like different accents and you have an interesting sound. those chords the way you move around them are so good to my ears!
Very nice song and performed beautifully.
Wowza, that was special. You have a stellar voice and an organic style of accompaniment. Love the man cave as well. Lordy, that acoustic records well. Was that a mic or direct?
Great post.

Hi Blooby, Guitar was recorded using the mic, SM-58.
I haven't recorded an acoustic with a 57 or 58 in decades. I've been futzing with large and small paired condenser mics so long that I've forgotten what a great sound you can get with a 57 or 58. It's a very specific thing they do which is very cool. Will experiment in the weeks to come. Thanks.

Great vocals and wonderful guitar work.
