Thanks everybody --- I've never been featured on NPR like this, I wasn't expecting all this attention. I know they're sending a couple folks this way to the video -- gratitude for following. Hoping to have the LP out by June to share, and some more videos before then too. If you want some secret unreleased tunes- message me through fbook and I'll send some links your way.
My daughter introduced me to Haley and this song. She’s 13. But I’m 52 and tomorrow is promised to no man. I hope she finds this comment one day. I love you so much, Kerry. Discovering this song was such a great experience and I will never forget it. Except that I will. Remember the good times, Care Bear. They were all good for me once I got you and Reya. Daddy loves you infinity X
"i need to start a garden" is honestly one of the best albums to come out this year, in my opinion... i've probably listened to it every day this past week. thank you haley and all the other people involved in making this little gem..
hey, i also have a friend who passed away a bit more than a month ago. four days ago it was his bday, he’s 17 now :) ever since his passing, i’ve been looking at the skies and noticing all the pretty patterns of the clouds and i’d think to myself, “he’s making the sky pretty for us”. and i bet your friend is also making the sky pretty for you and everyone else. i see the sky as the dead’s tapestry, it’s different everyday and i think it’s a different person saying hello, greeting their loved ones from above. anyways, i hope you’re feeling well, and that you will have peaceful, happy days from here on out.
I have honestly never heard a song as beautiful as this one. I am a music composition minor with an emphasis in jazz studies, but this song quite simply captures something so uniquely spiritual and beautiful, simplicity and complexity entangled together, I wish that songs I hear composed these days always came with this level of ability to ellicit awe from those who hear it. Best of wishes to you, so happy you are finding success and well-deserved recognition ❤❤❤
these "types" of songs are out there, you gotta look... you've got to put forth the effort to listen. if you want to discover a whole other level of music and lyrics, i suggest you put some time into studying (and enjoying!) the great Bruce Cockburn. he is Canada's most treasured musician.
this song always reminds me of that feeling just after the sun has set, a stillness in the summer and a calm that settles in the tired grass. It is time to go to sleep but that’s ok because today was good and you did your best, the sun will shine tomorrow and you can finally rest with the trust of that thought. Oh how the hours go by so easily when you are blissfully at rest.
There is a place pointed to by certain performers, Nick Drake, Leslie Feist, José Gonzalez - I think these songs might come from that place. There is so much to enjoy in every bar, it's worth more than the weight of every bass note in gold - you end up with a sense of having travelled.🙌
Back in school we read the book "metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka which is about a man who wakes up on day to shockingly discover he morphed into a giant bug over night. Not being able to move, eat or work properly anymore. Somehow this song reminds me of that book and would be the perfect title song
I’ve been going through a severe depression and anxiety wave the past three months. I’ve been a singer for years and stopped singing. I’ve been playing guitar here and there but finding your music has inspired me to sing again. Your voice feels so genuine and raw. Thank you
Call me a super fan. It’s like my heart is beating to the music, so surreal. I’ve never heard something that, without fail despite listening to it on loop for about 4 months straight, still brings tears to my eyes out of pure love of the music. Don’t get me wrong, many songs have made me sob many a times hahahh, but this song alone encapsulates just what power music holds to me.
this was me and my best friends' "song" for road trips in freshman and sophomore year of high school. Such a beautiful song and it carries so many sweet memories for me. The vibes are immaculate
Yes, Haley. You do need to start a garden, then maybe all these bugs will hang out there and stop invading your house!... .But for real, beautiful, great song. Gives me goosebumps every time. I love the lyrics, the Spanish guitar and the muted horn on the album version. I hope it becomes a hit. It already is in my book!
Me and my cat have always traveled together. He’s like one of my only friends at the moment and when i listen to this song i can just see me and him driving past the mountains with fresh air blowing in, this song reminds me so much of my little Quinn💙
I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and I had a very hard time learning this song… coupled with vocals its extremely difficult. This song is a masterpiece and I listen to it all the time.
even if no one will see this comment, I just came here to say that this song is to me the purest expression of love I’ve ever felt through music. I’m very scared of certain bugs and my dad always told me that people would think I’m weird because of that and that I would never find friends or a partner. this song symbolizes to me how he was wrong, and how I am capable and worthy of love regardless. thank you, haley heynderickx
This song is every old memory, even the ones you struggle to remember Nostalgia in lyrics So beautiful and scary, didn't think I had as many memories as I do untill I heard this song and started feeling so incredibly Nostalgic
this is my panic attack song, the first time i ever had a panic attack i listened to this song the whole day after not stopping to listen to the world, just listening to his on re-peat, it my comfort song and i love it, thank you
I listened to this song on repeat throughout the whole spring of 2020 with my window open, listening to it rain. It was a lonely year, but this always helped.
this is one of the sweetest songs i have ever heard. its so hard to take care of somebody else, while its so hard to take care of yourself. also its just very good musically. this song makes me cry every time i search this up.
Fuck man, the guitar playing, the singing. Every time I listen to this song it feels like a hug from the warmest energy you've ever felt. Absolutely brilliant.
I've had the Most horrible day in my Life today (and i have had my shares) i was sitting in the bathtub and honestly was thinking about to end it all for about 2 hours after i was thinking about that actually since a Long time. Then i came across your Chanel and was listening this Song. And it really calmed me. Thank you
No song has a beginning as strong and beautiful at this one. It hasn't left my mind since the moment I first heard it, almost two years ago now. Thank you for sharing it with us
it's insane how much we as people manage to identify with a song, recognise ourselves in the melody or the lyrics, or the general feel to a song. in the case of this song, I feel that it reaches out and envelops my entire person, and I feel so welcomed and recognised by it. it's an indescribable feeling, and I hope every person gets to experience this feeling at least once in their lifetime. thank you haley.
Wow, yeah... Same. this song took my on a journey to sweet memories of me and my family, my niece dancing, my nephew running into my arms after haven't seeing him a while, my dad dancing at his 60th birthday party, and my Abuela smiling on her 89th! Times I was saved from a car accident by seconds, times i got spontaneous checks in the mail I wasn't expecting... Pure gratitude for life and all of its beautiful mysteries. Thank you Haley for this song
I don't get how you can have this much innate, immense talent... and just release one album and be like "Yeah I'm done. That's all." To have a gift like that and not keep it going is borderline criminal. She's so good - world-class good.
i'm literally looking at pictures of centipedes and millipedes and i think to myself, wow they are actually cool and not disgusting. like it's nature.. this song makes me appreciate every life
Dear Haley, I appreciate your music so much, I can’t even put into words how this song makes me feel. The number of times I’ve listened to it probably adds up into days. I hope you’re doing well and I hope to hear more from you soon. Thank you.
I seriously CANNOT choose a favourite song by you. It's too hard but this is up there!!!!!!!!!!! I THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SONG AND HAVING THAT VOICE AHHH
Just happened to hear her play in Portland. Her voice is one we need in these fast times. Delicate, natural, full of insight delivered just above a whisper--the way the woods and waters deliver their wisdom too. Thank you 🙏
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago playing in a bubble tea shop. I've listened to it on repeat for two days straight. It's such a beautiful piece of music. The album recording with the brass added in is so well done. And the melody flows so well. Amazing work.
A simply beautiful composition. Her playing is a steady comforting presence, an inviting shoulder to lean on, yet it's distant, it feels longing for a closenes and warmth that we are to closed to offer. Her voice is unique and haunting in an almost familiar way. It's playful in moments, and reflects of deep and personal conversations with old friends that the winds of time have long carried away into faint echos in our memories, and is uniquly vulnerable and uneasy in an almost existential way, it's so effective and georgous. The lyrics are interesting, they feel intimate and personal and kinda introspective and a bit silly in a sad way. They have an almost melancholic feel yet are trying to humor us, it's a bittersweet smile towards a partner, that says I'm right here, yet it feels like theres a canyon between us.
we were just about to name our band bug collector so we searched it to see if anyone had used it yet- this is some of the best music ive ever heard and i feel like i remember discovering it distantly
You are my new favorite artist. Ever since I stumbled upon your music a few days ago, I have been scouring UA-cam for every little nugget of your sonic gold.
Please never abandon music, I love all your stuff, the songs you create are always so beautiful and unique and tentatively, naturally create this universe of atmosphere that totally envelops me when I listen to your stuff.
This song just makes me feel one of those deep ethereal feelings, i have it on repeat and just fall into a lil dream everytime. thank you for this beautiful music!!
this song is like having the window open while it's raining
you put it into words!!!! you are so right, so beautiful 🤍
I literally have this in my "Rain" playlist
@@Ash-gk8jp same I have a playlist called “standing in the rain” that it’s on
Exacto
literally what i’m doing rn… it goes so perfectly w/ the rain
This song gives me the biggest chills. Its like the sounds an ocean makes when no ones around.
this comment gave me chills
@@blueboyjournal Genuinely a rare brilliant comment you find on UA-cam.
If you want to listen to something similar look up the yawg soundtrack. Won't regret it
ricky were you high when you wrote that?
@@max-um2knhe was going through it😭

It truly is
TO PROVE THAT NOTHING’S OUT TO GET YOU
my friend used to play this for me after band class last year. he passed in december so this song is bittersweet. i think he'd love this version.
im so sorry:( may he rest in peace🤍
hey, i also have a friend who passed away a bit more than a month ago. four days ago it was his bday, he’s 17 now :) ever since his passing, i’ve been looking at the skies and noticing all the pretty patterns of the clouds and i’d think to myself, “he’s making the sky pretty for us”. and i bet your friend is also making the sky pretty for you and everyone else. i see the sky as the dead’s tapestry, it’s different everyday and i think it’s a different person saying hello, greeting their loved ones from above. anyways, i hope you’re feeling well, and that you will have peaceful, happy days from here on out.
If he went as far as learning to play it there’s a high chance he has listened to this version ❤️

You should listen to Jimi Hendrix
@@mbmbmee good taste
Also check out Laura Marling
this song makes me sob every time I hear it simply because it is so beautiful. it tugs on the heartstrings so expertly and precisely
Same!

It is time to go to sleep but that’s ok because today was good and you did your best, the sun will shine tomorrow and you can finally rest with the trust of that thought. Oh how the hours go by so easily when you are blissfully at rest.
I'm a year late but please write a book!
Are you a poet? You described the song so accurately and gently. I absolutely agree with you.
There is a place pointed to by certain performers, Nick Drake, Leslie Feist, José Gonzalez - I think these songs might come from that place. There is so much to enjoy in every bar, it's worth more than the weight of every bass note in gold - you end up with a sense of having travelled.🙌
YES
I can feel Nick Drake in here.
Hearing this song for the first time in my life in a Haley concert was one of my favorite things that happen to me.
i cried like three times at her show at eddie’s attic in atl. i do not cry for much.
Back in school we read the book "metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka which is about a man who wakes up on day to shockingly discover he morphed into a giant bug over night. Not being able to move, eat or work properly anymore. Somehow this song reminds me of that book and would be the perfect title song
I’m glad there’s still musicians trying to write from deep inside, it takes an artist like this to really bring you back into the magic of feeling
this song feels like a warm blanket and an open window in a rainstorm
I’ve been going through a severe depression and anxiety wave the past three months. I’ve been a singer for years and stopped singing. I’ve been playing guitar here and there but finding your music has inspired me to sing again. Your voice feels so genuine and raw. Thank you
The amount of natural talent here is just unspeakable.
The fact that my 15 y/o put me on to this song. Makes my heart smile! I did good
Such a unique sound and songwriting style. I love it. This one is genius.
I feel like I am falling through the void with that intro
Feels like giving my child self the hug he always needed
The official recording is amazing but this recording is so hauntingly beautiful oh my lord
I can FEEL this song
Call me a super fan. It’s like my heart is beating to the music, so surreal. I’ve never heard something that, without fail despite listening to it on loop for about 4 months straight, still brings tears to my eyes out of pure love of the music. Don’t get me wrong, many songs have made me sob many a times hahahh, but this song alone encapsulates just what power music holds to me.
I can barely describe this feeling.
I heard this song for the first time today and almost started crying i was so floored by how beautiful it is
this was me and my best friends' "song" for road trips in freshman and sophomore year of high school. Such a beautiful song and it carries so many sweet memories for me. The vibes are immaculate

One of those nights where you wish you were able to cry but you just can't, I would love to cry with this song on.
I love the shot with the oscillating guitar strings
I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and I had a very hard time learning this song… coupled with vocals its extremely difficult. This song is a masterpiece and I listen to it all the time.

That's so pretty. Sorry about your dad. He was wrong
I've scooped many a slugger out the window, and it is an act of love. Someone will make you the perfect morning and feel blessed to do it.
Biking to this song around the swedish country side is amazing
Never gets old.
It has been seven years yet I still find this song as a soft blanket in a cool room you will sleep in forever
that low e-string just be vibing fr
I don’t know how or what it is but this song brings me to tears. Not in a sad way but wholesome. It’s unexplainable yet comforting. Beautiful song.
still makes me tear up every time
This song is every old memory, even the ones you struggle to remember
Nostalgia in lyrics
So beautiful and scary, didn't think I had as many memories as I do untill I heard this song and started feeling so incredibly Nostalgic
this is my panic attack song, the first time i ever had a panic attack i listened to this song the whole day after not stopping to listen to the world, just listening to his on re-peat, it my comfort song and i love it, thank you

also its just very good musically. this song makes me cry every time i search this up.
Fuck man, the guitar playing, the singing. Every time I listen to this song it feels like a hug from the warmest energy you've ever felt. Absolutely brilliant.
my heart makes this exact noise when you squeeze it
I've had the Most horrible day in my Life today (and i have had my shares) i was sitting in the bathtub and honestly was thinking about to end it all for about 2 hours after i was thinking about that actually since a Long time.

Hope you’re doing well
No song has a beginning as strong and beautiful at this one. It hasn't left my mind since the moment I first heard it, almost two years ago now. Thank you for sharing it with us
I think this is one of the best songs ever written =)
My phone will die from UA-cam having this on repeat 😭
I need it on iTunes
😇
i need to start a garden changed my life
this song makes me think of childhood. beautifully nostalgic and warm and cozy
it's insane how much we as people manage to identify with a song, recognise ourselves in the melody or the lyrics, or the general feel to a song. in the case of this song, I feel that it reaches out and envelops my entire person, and I feel so welcomed and recognised by it. it's an indescribable feeling, and I hope every person gets to experience this feeling at least once in their lifetime. thank you haley.
God I love this song.
I just saw her at Vancouver Island fest. What an amazing time and singer. My favorite
your music brings a certain contentment deep within me... gratitude
Wow, yeah... Same. this song took my on a journey to sweet memories of me and my family, my niece dancing, my nephew running into my arms after haven't seeing him a while, my dad dancing at his 60th birthday party, and my Abuela smiling on her 89th!

it's probably in my top 3 favorite songs. it's really an amazing song.
Fellow Filipino American here. Your work is amazing.
this song makes me feel safe
i'm literally looking at pictures of centipedes and millipedes and i think to myself, wow they are actually cool and not disgusting. like it's nature.. this song makes me appreciate every life
imagine that this was posted in hopes of performing amongst mere mortals.
This is one of the most beautiful songs i ever heard. Its full of emotion and a clear lead. Its just breathtaking.
I finally learned to play this halfway reasonably on my acoustic and i cant even fathom how you sing while playing this flawlessely. What on earth
it's possible with standard tuning if that helps
uuughhh it sounds so tragic it just leeched itself into my heart the first time i heard it
I love this guitar version sm❤
Dear Haley,
I appreciate your music so much, I can’t even put into words how this song makes me feel. The number of times I’ve listened to it probably adds up into days. I hope you’re doing well and I hope to hear more from you soon. Thank you.
this is litterally the only thing in the past few months that makes me feel anything.
standing in the city square while it’s snowing and no one else is around
Just made me sob, in the best way.
Who the fuck would dislike this? Great shit haley hope you win.
I seriously CANNOT choose a favourite song by you. It's too hard but this is up there!!!!!!!!!!! I THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SONG AND HAVING THAT VOICE AHHH
this song feels and sounds like home in a way ive never been able to truly describe
watching this 6 years later and still loving it with everyone ounce of my soul. truly timeless.
Just happened to hear her play in Portland. Her voice is one we need in these fast times. Delicate, natural, full of insight delivered just above a whisper--the way the woods and waters deliver their wisdom too. Thank you 🙏
This song is like finally turning the loud tv off in the lone apartment you live in. Sitting on the sofa in the no body of silence
This song is like sitting on an empty beach remembering good times youve had with past friends and past loves knowing those times are gone for good
I love this song.
Wherever you are now i hope its as beautiful as you make my life when i hear your music
The fact that this would easily stand alone as a guitar piece shows just how good this song is
The fact is that she is so delicate with her fingers. So much talent and skill.
ive been listening to this for a while now and its still one of my favorite comfort songs
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago playing in a bubble tea shop. I've listened to it on repeat for two days straight. It's such a beautiful piece of music. The album recording with the brass added in is so well done. And the melody flows so well. Amazing work.
her music makes me feel so peaceful
amazing
I don't know if I want to cry, smile or be depressed, what a piece of art, what a shame that I found this until now, this is perfect!!!
I've been looking for this song for years, literally years, I can believe I found it 2 minutes ago. I'm literally spinning rn
Tonight I felt I had gone so low and lost all hope, only to have found this beautiful melody. Thankyou, Haley x
this feels like the perfect song for an animated movie about autumn nature
I think this is what the earth sings
this is the best song i've ever heard
A simply beautiful composition. Her playing is a steady comforting presence, an inviting shoulder to lean on, yet it's distant, it feels longing for a closenes and warmth that we are to closed to offer. Her voice is unique and haunting in an almost familiar way.

They have an almost melancholic feel yet are trying to humor us, it's a bittersweet smile towards a partner, that says I'm right here, yet it feels like theres a canyon between us.
everytime i listen to this song i hear something new. it feels like it changes and grows with each listen
......and the performance is stunning
we were just about to name our band bug collector so we searched it to see if anyone had used it yet- this is some of the best music ive ever heard and i feel like i remember discovering it distantly
Oh the chills this song gave me when I first heard it... I'll never forget it. I swear this is from another world.
You are my new favorite artist. Ever since I stumbled upon your music a few days ago, I have been scouring UA-cam for every little nugget of your sonic gold.
