Brandon Williams
Приєднався 18 бер 2009
Brandon Michael Williams is a multi-instrumentalist who discovered an interest in writing music as a teenager in order to express emotions related to the tension of maintaining balance towards contradictory themes. Because of this, his music inevitably became the soundtrack of an adult life trying to find the balance between: trust and betrayal; sacred and secular; childishness and wisdom; hatred and peace; love and war; emptiness and meaning; hunger and relief; greed and poverty; sin and sanctity; truth and falsehood; love and lust; staying and leaving…staying and leaving…leaving and staying. The music, a pet project of processing those unresolved early emotions, created in its creator a willingness to learn how to live in (and sometimes enjoy) the questions. What eventually emerged for the artist and his music was a growing freedom to be able to find the space between the contradictions and, rather than the need to find an answer, learn how to simply sing along.
'Silver Bells' cover [Livingston/Evans/Hush Kids]
A cover of the Christmas standard Silver Bells. Allyson Neeriemer once again joins me on this one, finding the cover by Hush Kids and helping me with the arrangement. Originally recorded during the holiday season of 2023, I believe.
If you enjoyed this cover, Allyson and I have an EP called Hymns for a Weary World under the band name Neighbors. It can be found on most music platforms.

Goodbye, Winter

This track is the 100th song in my catalog of music (written independently or collaboratively with other artists). It is, once again, inspired by the work of Nick Drake (specifically the album Pink Moon), who sings so gently to my winter heart.

Beautiful!
Thank you!
This is great!
Thank you!
Good shit bro.
Nice! the sound quality and everything
Thanks, Ryan!
Brother this is incredible! You make it look so effortless
Thank you!
brandon well done playing of honey pie!
Thank you!
New camera?
It's the same one I used for some of the older videos like the 'Daydream' and 'Buddy' covers, but, recently, I just haven't felt like getting it out, doing all the processing, and syncing up the music. A friend did tell me how to get a better picture by adjusting some of the camera settings so it may look a little sharper.
Nice!
Thanks, Ryan!
So good!
Thank you, sir!
Woahh this is really good! You both sound amazing together! I’ve got an original Christmas song coming out on the 1st would be great if you could check it out and maybe subscribe!
Great song, great cover!
Thank you!
@@zeppelinman1685 Welcome 🙂
i love this !!
Hey Brandon! My name is Shelby! I have no clue if you remember but we met at Cornerstone back in like 2010! You invited me and my friend to see Anchors set and we ended up going to every Anchors set that week! LOL you sang Hallelujah for me! Anyway how have you been? Do you happen to have any videos from cornerstone sets?? I’ve been scouring UA-cam and the wider internet with no luck!
Hi Shelby! I do remember you! I've been doing very well. How are you? Unfortunately, no, we don't really have any Anchors videos up anymore. I left the band sometime in 2009, I think, and the band disbanded sometime in 2014 or 2015. Seth Hecox still manages the band and has occasionally put out a song or two, but I don't think he'll be doing that again in the near future. I'm sorry we couldn't provide any videos for you.
Brandon Michael Williams I’m doing well thanks! No worries! I just wanted to show the videos to my husband. He never had the chance to go to cornerstone so I was showing him a few of the shows I actually went to there.. I don’t have any of my old videos or photos anymore :( glad you’re doing well!
@@shelby8101 Thanks for checking in, Shelby! It's good to hear from you again. Be well.
A+ song. Loved the chorus of “ah”s with the voices. Cool video too. Reminds me of the Paul music video for Fine Line.
Thanks dude!
any chance you have some bass tabs for this? you did a great job on this!
No, unfortunately I don't. Most of it is just hanging on the 1st and 5th of each chord and then the walking part, if I remember correctly, it's basically just walking up the first four scale degrees of each chord. But I'm not 100% positive on that (sorry, I haven't played it in a while). Thanks for taking the time to listen and for your compliment as well! Good luck!
nice work on the song! keep it up :) greetings from Germany
I'm shocked you only have 23 subscribers! You're incredibly talented both as a musician and as an editor. This is really awesome and neat compared to most of the sloppy UA-cam covers that get way more views. Subscribed!
Thank you, Mason! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Awesome.
Thanks Henderson!
Brother you've got amazing talent.
Thank you!
That was AMAZING!
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
