This is my second comment on this video, but I've been watching it nonstop lately. The lyrics are about desperation and isolation and it just blows me away how the performance communicates that. Willi isn't just singing words about someone strung our watching snow fall, he's channeling that sort of almost unhinged energy in his performance. Just an incredible song and performance by an incredible artist.
This is a masterpiece of a song. The lyrics, the pace, the guitar fills, the harmonica, the beautiful sadness. Every puzzle piece is in a perfect place.
Just wow again Willi! Such powerful and heart wrenching imagery ! You write a song like Ernest Hemingway would describe the great nation you both hail from ! Truly special!
Willi, I am so freakin excited for this album! Your words, your energy, it tightens the unravelling bandages around my soul. You gotta keep going man, this is your super power!
Thank you for sharing your words and playing! I'm looking forward to the release of Critterland. And, even more than that, I'm looking forward to experiencing you live soon.
Holy actual shit Willi. By the end of the song I was gripping the steering wheel way too hard. It’s easy to get swept up by that kinda desperate energy.
Man,.... music like this makes me kinda angry I dont mean to be dramatic, but where the fuck is the state of music if this guy isnt getting paid in spades?!?!

I mean...fucking shit. This song is one of the greatest pieces of songwriting I've ever heard. And this live performance blew me away.
Somehow this still feels like an understatement

This is legitimately one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Absolutely incredible.
Jodorowsky on a tiny sceen...
I absolutely cannot wait to see this live. If you’ve never seen Willi live, GO! I’ll see him every time he’s within a 4 hour drive.
Sweet lord. If you don't watch to the end you're missing out.
This dude is absolutely, positively unequivocally, one of a kind. Pure unadulterated passionate art. Undiluted, potent and raw.
A true master at his craft. A one of a kind wordsmith.Your music is a blessing to us all Willi.
love your channel! i learned your version of trouble by kilby snow
I made the mistake of being pretty hammered when I fist heard this and cried like a baby. 10/10 no notes
Please pay attention to this world-class artist! Thank you.
Willi is one of the best people i had the fortune of acting alongside back in college. Love listening to his music

Everything he releases is incredibly special. This might just be my favorite song of Willi's, so far.
"Paid the price in foolishness it takes to get you free." Keep singin' em true, Willi.
