I wonder what his settings are. I'm about to get an electric guitar and amp and I'd love to know how to get that tone. I guess there's a pedal involved as well.
@@dillon8987 Thank you! I've only really played acoustic so I have no idea how to set up an amp and definitely don't know anything about pedals. I'll be doing some research.
I havent seen my family in over two years due to working on the oil rigs. I heard this on my buddies spotify and I just felt my heart drop. It reminded me of home and the faces I havent seen in a long time. So I booked a flight and just landed back home. Wish me luck.
You’ll never hear it on the radio or CMT awards, but there is a real resurgence of some serious old school country sounds in the last few years and it makes me really happy. She’s such a talent, glad I stumbled upon her music:)
I left Texas at 17 and have spent the last 20 years wandering. I recently told my mama I was considering coming back and to hear the relief in her voice was a wake up call. This song hits like a ton of bricks. Poked me right in the heart and feeling lucky to have the ability to go back home.
@Burn Barnes - I lost both parents at a young age, in my early 20's & it's a strange thing. No matter our age, you feel so orphaned & lost, when you lose a parent..& the world just doesn't look the same! Life is fleeting & passes by, faster than you think..don't blink!! Unfortunately, we don't realize it was, "the good ole days," till they've come & gone!! I'd give a million dollars, to have both my parents back! I feel asthough I've been jipped, as I never got to see them, grow old & grey!! And now, I have this longing, this nostalgic feeling, of wanting to go home, but not knowing where home is!? Hiraeth I believe is the word for that!? So please, take it from me, family is priceless & tomorrow's not promised! Go love on your Mama💙
@Ban Brady - I don't know you, but I'd like to say, I'm so sorry for your loss! I've lost both my parents & it's a strange thing, while although we maybe grown, it makes you feel, so orphaned & lost!? And Idk about you, how old you are & your story? But I feel so jipped, bcuz I'll never get to see my parents grow old & grey!? Time sure is fleeting, isn't it!? It passes by, faster than you think, don't blink!! Tomorrow's not promised & unfortunately, we don't realize, that it's, "the good ole days," until they've come & passed! So cherish each & every day! And we will all meet again one day! God Bless you & R.I.P Dad💔
My dad died three months ago as well. Listened to a lot of Colter Wall that week. Wish I'd known about this then. Cheers friend, hope you're doing alright.
This one hit me hard. My mom is gone now and we were estranged near the end of her life. No matter the reasons why, I have come to understand that my leaving was so hard on her. Wish I could still come home one more time. For all her faults, she loved me so much.
@William Gray - I relate to these words! Same here! Except there's no, "home," to go to anymore! Hiraeth, the longing & desire to go home, when you don't really know where home is! Below, is a link, which better describes this word! Peace & love to you. sites.psu.edu/kielarpassionblog2/2016/04/02/hiraeth/
My mother passed 5 years ago, I was born on her birthday one of six children. She was and is always my light. I texted her every day sharing pics and humor. She always found beauty. “The snow falling did you hear me softly calling” brought me to tears. Every morning when I walk outside something brings a smile to my face, a smile I share with my mother.❤. This songs make me realize that it wasn’t just that she was there for me, but that I was there for her, one of her favorite birthday presents. Many thanks to you Kassi. Peace.
My brother died five years back, and I had to tell my mom he was gone. It was the saddest and hardest thing I've ever faced. Last month, she passed away too, never getting over her loss. I pray they're both in heaven now. For the past four years, I've pictured them together in this song, and it always brings tears to my eyes. It's a beautiful song
@@WesternAF How do you go about finding all of these folks? I go to look them up after I watch their stuff for the first time from y'all, and I can hardly find a thing on 'em!
@@WesternAF well I found both Sierra and Nick Shoulders on Western AF all the way over here in Scotland a few years back...Gems gave me Ben Tod tho' ..if Western AF had brought me Ben too, I'd probably never even have heard of Gems 😅 :p
Ive never been a fan of country music aside from Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, and good ole Johnny Cash but this channel has given me a new found love for what I like to call Neo-Country. The stuff on the radio just gives me a headache.
Hear I go again, begging Western AF to make a spotify playlist with all their recordings... I live and generally work in areas that lack service, so I cant always go to youtube to listens to these absolute gems...
Damn, unfortunately these aren’t the types of songs to break through on the radio in the suburbs of Philadelphia, but they sure break through your heart. And that’s way more important.
A hefty thank you to the creators of this channel you’ve introduced me and by extension many of my friends to some beautiful music we otherwise would never have been exposed to.
TheXKL1NEx I’ve always liked what I’ve heard by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood, but I hadn’t been aware of this particular gem. It is indeed very Tarantino-sequel ... thanks for the heads up! 😃
This brought up a hurt iv been avoiding for a long time. Listening the whole song through it was hard to breath. Tho my mothers no longer apart of my life. My father, sister and I have always been close. I followed my dream and moved to the far side of the canada and tho ill never move back, it ways heavy on me alot. And I could hear them in ever word in this song. An amazing song.
I left home when i was 19 decided to travel the world. Id come home once or twice a year and i know it hurt my loved ones to see how i was changin. I finally came back at 23, i was chewed up and a far cry from the person who'd left. This song hits the feels like a truck.
When I was younger my relationship with my mom was complicated and we were often estranged. Now that I’m older and have softened up a little I can see how much precious time was wasted on hurt feelings. We’ve recently reconnected and things are good these days but the regret of years lost is still present. Thanks for making music that speaks to my heart Kassi. It’s appreciated more than I could ever adequately explain.
About 2 years ago my uncle went missing for about 2 and a half months.. his name was Johnny and during that time I discovered this song roughly around the same time this video was released.. when my mother found him he was deceased for a few weeks. I know it’s just coincidence but I still think that this song was a sign from the universe that something happened to him
I think I've commented on this before, but I'm very thankful for this song. My grandmother and father lived in South Georgia but every time I hear this, I can't help but break down, she couldn't leave the house due to her arthritis, he was living a far different life, and then gone. Thankful for the time I had with both; take the time you have. God bless. Thanks Kassi Valazza
@@gkhan05 "Alt-Country," or also known as "Hipster-Country", is taking "true country" sounds i.e. Loretta Lynn, and playing them currently in this day an age, 2020. Cheers mate.
More than anything this song makes me think of my grandmother. Who died about about a year ago. Recently I've been struggling with her death, but listening to this song makes me pocture a future, meeting her in some form of heaven where she's not suffering anymore, and can finally be content, if not for what was left behind. I'll be there soon, gramma, you can look on my face when I arrive. Much love, see you soon. ❤️
I come listen to this song about once a day and I always skipped the beginning commentary like an idiot. After hearing what it’s about I realize I relate to it on a whole other level now and it’s heartbreaking. I left my grandmother in the south for California and she passed while I was away. And it kills me every single day.
I lost my grandfather this previous June, he was a wildflower his whole life, always on the move, always riding his Harley somewhere. How this connects with my soul, thinking of my grandma. His name was John. Johny be good. Just a man crying in his truck 💪🏻
This song really hits me hard. Has me thinking of my military time, the call home I made on 9/11 and many other times. One day I'm gone, the next she comes home from work to my truck in the yard and me sleeping on the couch. The hardest part for her was realizing how much it changed her boy. I think she saw in me what she saw in her dad after his service. Thank God for my boy.
this is incredible, I don't remember how I found this channel but I'm so glad I did
Isn't it great? If you haven't checked out Gems on VHS, that's also full of gold
@@thereverendsam413 Beat me to it. Gems actually got me here a while back.

its excellent
Strat through a blackface, just how it's supposed to be

Her way singing is like an Irish southern American, especially at the "seen your face in many years" its so beautiful
Yeah I can see that she also has red hair haha
James Kirk it doesn’t sound Irish at all lmao

I feel like we don't deserve to listen to this but am so glad we are. Western AF and GemsOnVHS truly blow me away with their talent and discoveries.
Gems on VHS are masters of their craft and make me proud to be in this business.
@@WesternAF How do you go about finding all of these folks? I go to look them up after I watch their stuff for the first time from y'all, and I can hardly find a thing on 'em!
My two favorite channels on UA-cam
If you like metal you should check out Napalm Records too
@@WesternAF well I found both Sierra and Nick Shoulders on Western AF all the way over here in Scotland a few years back...Gems gave me Ben Tod tho' ..if Western AF had brought me Ben too, I'd probably never even have heard of Gems 😅 :p
When she's singing a bit higher, her voice reminds me a bit of Patsy Cline. This lady is the real deal!
You've gotta check out her full album! She's *VERY* reminiscent of the old legend female country singers!
I hear Loretta as well
Damn and probs on that guitar. That guy was putting straight heart into that guitar.
These stripped down versions of the songs are the best versions.
I’ve listened to this song 54 times in a row now and I can’t stop❤
Same. Im addicted to it.
54 times?! what happened, did your speakers break?! :p

Goddamn that tone on the strat is just wonderful
A voice that could make angels cry... let alone humble me.
Lol
Baffles me that this doesn’t have a million views already
This is too good to be free.
In a modern world where most country music is on a scale from awful to uninspired, it was a great joy to Kassi Valazza music.
Remember Jessie from Toy Story? This is her now. Feel old yet?
No, because this isn't Jessie.
Yes

I am a son who moved away, this song made me emotional. Hug your moms if you can. Beautiful work.
Burning a fire outside in NJ drinking watching my son enjoy his youth feeling every word she sings.

Beautifully haunting - thanks from Canada
Two years later and I still get the chills later listening to this song
just found it. Incredible
Me too! My husband showed me this song when we first got together 3 years ago and every time I get chills
A hefty thank you to the creators of this channel you’ve introduced me and by extension many of my friends to some beautiful music we otherwise would never have been exposed to.
It’s been over a year and I still come back to this song. To me that’s a sign of a great song.
Jesus.....this is beautiful.
This is real country music. Not that pop country garbage.
Truth brother.
I don't care for gatekeeping genre circle jerks, but, yeah, it do be.
It do be, brother.
actually this is western
Not western, and all genres have to leave room for pop music. So get over yourself, we're in this commercial mess together.
This song gives me chills in the best possible way
what a green eyed beauty, what a talent
I wonder if there’s an unfinished Tarantino movie , wandering around, looking for this very song to complete it. 😎
You want a Tarantino song just listen to Summer Wine by Nancy Sinatra
Best possible comment for this song !!
MrDmartinezjr Ah, you’re too gracious, but thank you. 😃

Meh, at that point the popularity would drain from the realty.
i've watched this video almost everyday after work for the past few weeks and i don't know why. it's so calming
Yo también hago lo mismo
No soy americano pero esta música me hace sentir bien con todo
I love finding new artists like her. She’s going to be stuck in my head for a while now
Some days I wish I was dead, but my own country's music makes me glad I'm alive.
Legitimately I believe my heart just stopped with love of her voice... I may need to call a doctor. But after I watch again...

This is hauntingly good. I keep coming back.
Came to say this woman’s singing made me cry like a baby
She is beautiful in many ways. Her voice is angelic and capturing.Just a gem! Wow!
Wunderschönes Lied,Musik.
Immer wieder ein großer Genuss das Video anschauen und anzuhören.
Her and Colter should do a Kate McCanon remix
Like to hear her and Uncle Lucius . . . more - so much Smokey sound
with Childers doing the hook
Very true.
Or a country roads remix with colter and her..
Man, if this happen... I will cry! A LOT!!!
Gorgeous song & voice! Western AF never disappoints to introduce me to some awesome artists.
Wow.....didnt expect that....shes incredible.
I'm a Canadian farmer..... absolutely beautiful music, please continue with your talent

I haven’t seen your face in many years sent me to the moon. Gosh that voice
Don't know why but for her to be so considerate as to make a song about her grandmother's problem just hits the feels
If this came out in 1965 there would be millions of listens! Make artists like her famous again. Not all these fake artists 🙏🙏 keep it up.
