It's lovely. May I ask if Muriel Anderson was an influence?
@mikedawesofficial You are my favorite guitarist of all time. Your music literally brings tears to my eyes because of how truly beautiful it is. It touches my soul. I have requested that when I leave this earth that your music be played at my service. Thank you for playing the music that I hear in my head but I don't have the musical talent to bring it to life the way you do my friend. My guitar skills are virtually non existent compared to yours😂
That piece is stunning! It truly is your greatest piece yet. So amazing. You're a phenomenal composer and of course an amazing player. Hedges would be proud!
Really hope to see and meet you some day.
You know, at the end of the day, one can be truly amazed by what only One man & Just One Guitar are capable of. Fantastic indeed 👏
What kind of guitar are you playing on?
Here because Rick Beato had you on. Am truly in awe of your playing. Thank you for making beautiful music.
Thanks for listening
@@mikedawesofficialMe too. I am so glad I watched Rick's video. I have found a new treasure!
Same thing for me I saw him on Rick B.
Same here!
Yes snap ❤
You managed to silence my 5yr old for 7 mins while we listened to this together - you have super powers 😂. Wonderful stuff.
That’s amazing aww
@mikedawesofficial you silenced all of us. Amazing stuff man.
My 6 and 4 year old daughters did the same. Just stared and listened for the entire time. I’m gonna start blasting this any time things get too hectic lol
Yo not only did you get those few minutes, but you got a response from one of the greatest percussive guitarists to ever walk this earth 🤌
@@mikedawesofficial Been playing for 20 years and got into a bit of a slump and seeing your Rick beato video renewed my love of guitar for this I am eternally grateful ✌️💚
Im imagining this song when my son is born this spring. Absolutely magical.
thank you Rick for interviewing this amazing musician . ..I was missing out bigtime
Song of the year!
Absolutely breathtaking my man!🔥
Thanks bro! Love ya
A masterpiece! God bless you!
For 7 minutes, everything was good and peaceful in the world. Your playing never ceases to inspire, this arrangement was truly incredible. Thank you for being you and sharing this wonderful content with the world.
Mike has the platinum trophy for acoustic guitar.
Fr no doubt
As a classical guitarist for the past 55yrs Mike has blown me away with his technique, expression and song writing skills. Bravo Mike because you have sought excellence and have been rewarded.
We’ll said Sir,for me he is the best on this planet 🌍👏🏴
So much awful in the world, you just gifted me with 7 minutes of peace. Taking a deep breath, smiling, and thanking the universe for such beauty.
You converse in another language that is way above the intellectual capabilities of most musicians. I listened to a Chinese guitarist at the Adelaide guitar festival who had the same fluent touch and made the guitar sing. You have an incredible ability to bring tears to my eyes. Thankyou from an old fart who loves this sort of meditative, soothing music. 👏👏👏🇦🇺🙏
Musicians are, most of the time, the only people who can make me feel anything. This is nourishment for my soul.
You have to see the Rick Beato video where Mr. Dawes explains all of the features and technology that goes into his guitar set-up...absolutely amazing. This guy is a genius as well as a talented musician...just brilliant. I love this...just Wow.
I really believe this is going to go down in history as one of the most beautiful fingerstyle songs ever written. It's so refreshing to hear again a guitarist with something to say... And you say it loud and clear.
Had I not seen this, I would’ve sworn it was 3 guitarists & 1 percussionist. As a longtime fingerstyle guitarist, I can say from experience that this masterpiece is an achievement of a monumental amount of work, diligence, precision and skill.
Thank you Mike - I am here thx to you being on Rick Beato’s YT show and I can’t express enough how much your music has impacted me. I bought your vinyl album on the spot. Thank you for being who you are. Cheers 🍷
Thanking @RickBeato for introducing you! Thanks for the beautiful music Mike!
5:18 what a clean capo transition! That song is awesome Mike!
G7th capos make it easy ha. Well, kind of easy...
@@mikedawesofficial Mike Dawes ome, you are an extremely talented musician and a wonderful gift to this world. May you have a long prosperous journey creating beautiful music!
Best song in years... beautiful in every way! Congratulations MD x TE
Mate, thank you
Don't tell me its his personal account that the world doesn't know about @mikedawesofficial

Onya Tommy mate 💜
I have no words for how overwhelming this is. I have played guitar since 2001, and it is my primary emotional outlet. I have been suffering from fingertip dermatitis for the past year, which has prevented me from playing guitar during that time, despite my best efforts to address the causes of my dermatitis. I'm home sick for the past 4 days, and this just dropped. I clicked on it as soon as i saw it, and about 45 seconds to a minute in, right as that OC-5 kicks in, and there's a flash of a smile in the left corner of your mouth, a tidal wave of emotion blindsided me and i sobbed like an infant for the rest of the song. i felt fear, desperation, anger, frustration, and profound sadness, but buried deep in there, holding the whole mess together, Hope. I don't know if i've ever cried like that in my life.
I've only listened to the song once, and i need to calm myself down before i listen again. I've had to pause several times to gather myself even as i write this comment. I am compelled to share my deepest gratitude for sharing this song. you have helped unlock a measure of the emotions i've been holding in over the past year. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I wish i could express to you the way i feel right now. This comment is a feeble attempt, but i want you to know that you have gifted me a puzzle piece on my road to recovery. Again, thank you.
Hey I hope it is ok I respond❤
I play guitar since mid 90s and intensely since I am 16, I am 39 now. The last 3 years have been hardest of my life cause for an auto immune/neurological disease, I cant play the extend I used to have. But at least I am able to play on better days if. I am beyond grateful for it, to still do it, even if its hard not play that much or practice on a regular basis. I feel ur comment, and its really hard and frustrating to not be able to play guitar😢.
Mike is a pure genius and his music is truly a gift, not only but especially in hard times. All the best to you. And improving health. Cheers from Germany
I often feel a depth of emotion words can't express when I listen to acoustic like this, that was a beautiful attempt to quantify something that can't be put in a box. I hope your fingers heal buddy, God bless.
I'll never forget the day I played guitar again (without pain) years after I lost my middle and ring finger tips of my left hand. I thought the injury itself would never heal, and when it had healed - then came the doubt that the scar tissue would ever be less sensitive to handle the metal strings and build calluses - it stung like fuck.
I'm writing this to you sir because I also cried like I haven't in years when I listened to this song, and for all the same reasons as yourself, although I wish I had 'hope' sooner and not doubted the recovery process. I know I would've healed faster with more optimistic eyes!
If I had hope I would have used the opportunity to buy a keyboard & some good headphones, and start learning musical theory from a different instrument (it is much easier) and expressing myself in a new way. Translate some of my pieces to piano, learn songs, etc.
I now enjoy piano so much I couldn't imagine it not being in my life - everything happens for a reason!
I have always loved Mike Dawes and a new release like this is a true blessing.
You are not alone...
To pour your heart out like that to strangers is huge bro I can only wish you the very best for the future hang in there bro music will save us all if we let it - throwing out love to you man take care ❤
Absolutley perfect! So many comparisons I could make....but I won't. The music speaks for itself.
Amazing work, Andy McKee would be proud. I can't help but think of him and his play style.
7 minutes might be a lot in our fast-forward and short focused society but, sometimes, they might be all you need to breathe.
Thank you Mike, this is soul nourishing.
That’s what I’m here for 🙏
2:22 hedges written all over it... this might be the best acoustic fingerstyle song I've ever heard man.. bravo Mike 💪🏼☝🏼
Mike Dawes ome musician, bravo!!!
This song left me completely speechles in the best way possible. The level of genius on the accoustic guitar as well as the feelings created by the wonderful melodies and handmade sound-FX cannot be put into words. Instrumental song of the decade.
II've always loved playing guitar, and now I am falling in love with it again. 🙂
Had the pleasure of seeing you in Phoenix in August. I've been playing for 53 years, mainly acoustic fingerstyle, but will never come close to this. Even so, watching and listening to you do what you do inspires me to pick up my guitar and play whatever meager offerings I can. This piece leaves me awestruck every time I listen. Thanks for the music and the inspiration!
You just made me proud to come from the Island and to be a guitarist......only because I can associate with you! I always get emotional when I see God working through musicians. The Creator gave us a frequency that we can work in, and you just got close to filling it musically. I would love to say I am inspired to reach these heights, but God gave me another path. Looking forward to seeing you live my man.....
I love Mike ❤❤❤ kisses from Italy 😘😘😘
I feel as though I've waited my whole life to hear this song. Thank you for this moment 🥹
Good sir, hats off. In the mist of the chaos we call world we live in, you managed to deliver 7 min of pure hope, beauty and bliss. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this.
17 years ago, Andy McKee released the Rylynn video on youtube and I listened to his stuff for so many years. Recently, I have fallen off listen to acoustic music like that. But this one feels like it has sparked that again.
Awww Mike. That's beautiful.
That key change was pure nostalgia
WOW! Just Wow.... 😢💥
This tune strikes me as very Hedges-esque, but it's so much more. You truly took the legacy of fingerstyle guitar, but instead of just copying you build upon it your own story, expressed not only with technical finesse, but first and foremost with feeling, groove, musicality, tenderness and incredible taste. That's what acoustic fingerstyle guitar is about. Kudos, you're amazing, and this is and instant classic, as well as one of my new favorite songs. Thank you!
This is truly beautiful. I am reminded of Michael Hedges & Craig Chaquico.
Relaxing music. Midway through the song, an homage to Michael Hedges could be found. Thank you Mike!
❤
this is blowing my head off. there's so much scope to this instrument. thanks.
Mike Dawes, really; you always surprise us ....the composition, the interpretation, the musical arrengements..... everything is just beautiful, perfect, marvelous..... 1 hour and some minutes listening that song "Cloud Catcher" !!!!! Over and over and over again........
music that makes angels weep.. beautiful. thanks for making soul filled sounds that transport us back to Eden
Otherworldly experience. Music can be so magical to behold. So grateful to get to hear it!
I met you at the Coach House out here in SoCal. Thank you for being so accessible. Peace and good health to you and yours.
Mike this is your best song yet! I can feel Michael hedges & Daniel Padims spirit in this one
You are an ambassador of love, advocating what the world needs dearly.
This will become one of THOSE songs to get back to and play on repeat.
Marvellous experience!
Such an awesome sound. Awesome! Can't wait to see this chap play Gloucester next year.
Finally!!! Been waiting on this for two years 😂🤩. Such a gorgeous song, Mike! Can't wait to listen on repeat now.
Cheers Bob!
Mr.Dawes , it's not often that a piece of music enthralls me after 60yrs , but first heard a bit of this on the Rick Beato channel and loved it . Had to check out this full version and it doesn't disappoint , it reminds me in places of Gordon Giltrap ( compliment ) and is a beautiful piece of music . Thank You .
Reminescent of Michael Hedges, amazing work mike we love you ❤❤
Parts sounding like a straight homage to parts of aerial boundaries. Too similar not to be I would think. I would assume this dude is heavily inspired by him but idk
Literally crying! Wow, just wow. I'm an amateur guitarist and you inspire me. Sitting down with my cheap little Tanglewood acoustic guitar (it does have a nice low action) because after seeing you I need to play. Nothing more I need to say. You're just awesome, Mike 🥰
Like a surgeon, Mike's hands and fingers perform miracles! Beautiful composition! No matter where you play!
How come every time Mike picks up a guitar, he creates absolute gold! Unbelievable. Thanks for your contribution to music, Mike Dawes.
🙌🏻Mike, this is exquisite. A masterpiece. 🤍🕊 Thank you for this moment of tranquil contemplation.🤍🕊
🤍The outro lightly rains God's grace upon our soul.🕊
Lots of Michael Hedges DNA: 🔔· 🥁 · ostinato · transcendence · heavenly strings · music for the soul🕊· "Heaven is all around - translated to sound' - MH
“Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.” - St. Padre Pio 🤍Love + Blessings to all🕊
This is so beautifully melodic and resonant. Real pleasure to the soul 😍Smashing the repeat button!!!
You pulled out all the modern fingerstyle stops, but in such a stunningly tasteful way. I'm constantly in awe with your skill and sense of melody and harmony.
One In a million
I’m a nobody, but nobodies know music and this is music. Absolutely beautiful,captivating and awe inspiring. Thank you 👏👏👏👏
thank you as always brother for sharing with us all..sharing music is one of the grandest gifts and you so graciously shared with all of us. inspirational and always spirit lifting, a true master of frequencies you are...big shout out from alaska..come see us some time..that would be amazing.
Bro im tryin not to cry listening to this in the parking lot at work... 😂 There's nobody like you Mike! 👏✌️
One of the best guitarists on this planet. An amazing talent, and seemingly very humble guy.
On the gloomiest of mid winter, Friday mornings, I feel that this song may have saved my life. Thanks Mike. 🎭❤️🩹
There are many levels of guitar players, beginner, intermediate, advanced, and Virtuoso, you sir are a Virtuoso!!! That was the most beautiful and wonderfully perfect guitar playing I've ever heard. 👏😊
He's Mike Dawes ome musician, bravo!!!
So Good.....
Flawless. I've been playing guitar since 1976; I can say that it doesn't get any better. He is blessed.
So very beautiful and passionate. Music has been a huge part of the healing process, both body and mind after a recent cancer journey. This brings such peace to my soul. My alarm wakes me every morning with you and Tommy Emmanuel playing "Fields of Gold" so I always wake up with a happy heart. Thank You so very much for your incredible gift of music. Happy Birthday!! Cheers!! 🙂
Que bom encontrar seres de tanta luz assim, fazendo musica com alma e sentimento!
Obrigado, obrigado, obrigado!
Thank you Mike..for sharing your journey with us..an absolute pleasure
An instant classic. I want more, please 🎄🎁🎄🥰
Superb !
Loved this. Some phrasings and passages reminded me of Michael Hedges, possibly my favourite acoustic guitar player. So take it as a strong compliment. 🙂 Cheers! //Rick
The cheeky capo change is mega. Hits just right. What a masterpiece ❤
I haven't felt like this about a song since Jon Gomm released Passionflower.
7 minutes of spectacular beauty!
A new Mike Dawes video is like Christmas. Makes me happy all of a sudden.
Another great composition. You are the Pagannini of the percussive guitar style. So brilliant❤
Always reminding me why I fell in love with guitar at a young age. I may not always play as much as I’d like, but writing and playing like this takes me right back home! Tremendous. Thank you!
Thank you. Nothing like picking up am old guitar and getting back into it
Thank you for making this world a bit more beautiful and lighter Mike. Everything about this song is gorgious.
Awesomeness ❤
Your music is phenomenal. I suffer from pretty bad anxiety and your music has such a calming effect it actually helps me when I’m having an anxiety moment. You truly are an inspiration to everyone. Thank you so much for sharing your magical music and having such a positive effect on not just myself, but what I can only assume is many other people. I hope you realise what a positive gift you are Mike.
Amazing playing, amazing sound.💯👍👍👍
By far, the most beautiful melody and composition I've ever heard! I don't even know ow what else to say except thank you for sharing this with us!
Totally worth the wait 👌
here because of Rick Beato interview and very happy. I'm primarily a bass player but I've played acoustic guitar to accompany myself and other singers for a long time. I'm not only going to get to enjoy your wonderful music but also to learn watching you play. Already picked up some ideas.
Wow! ❤
Wonderful! Heard You in Neubrandenburg with Tommy. One of the greatest days this year!Thank you 🎸🍀
gorgeous!
Mate thank you. I'm worried a 7 minute instrumental is too long for modern audiences ha. Super glad you've seen it
Sublime in every aspect.
So beautiful! Thank you!
Emocionante precisamos desse tipo de sonoridade no mundo. Parabens
I'm on Cloud 9 mate. Beautiful
The main melody actually reminds me a little bit of Jeff Beck’s part in “People, Get Ready”. Love your stuff, Mike! As usual, I don’t know whether I should feel inspired or if I should just go burn my guitars.
Incredible as always, Mr. Dawes. Thanks for blessing us with your talent.
ujco ty si borec. To je perfektné.
Wonderful and so nice - love it 👍👍👍
Bristol... Wow just accross the bridge 😮😮❤
WOW !
2:23 love this section, amazing.
This is the pinnacle of modern percussive acoustic fingerstyle! An otherworldly piece of music! 🤘🏻👍🏻👌🏻
I had to look this guy up after I saw him on another youtube video. Absolutely awesome and moving guitar playing
