    I'm 57 and this kid is awesome! I haven't heard a song he sings that I didn't like!

    I am into metal songs by slipknot and motorhead, but there is something about your voice and especially this song, it touches you deeply it really makes you think about things and confront your buried secrets, your insecurities. Anyways, great work, keep going and all the best!

      Same. Metal head right here. Heard this dude in the Kitchen I work at and bam I was like who is this! I honestly thought it was going to be an older American dude with a silver beard from his other songs.

    I love this song so much. Every time I listen to it, it reminds me of my grandpa that passed away two years ago. Which is ironic because he wrote this song about his grandfather. I wish this song would get out more, it is simply amazing.

    [Verse 1]
    Hold your head up high
    You were born too old and are afraid to die
    'Cause the light is fading out of your eyes
    I'll give it all, I'll give it all
    Come on feet don't fail me now
    'Cause I'll fall too hard if I hit the ground
    And these worn out souls are all broken now
    I'll give it all, I'll give it all
    [Chorus]
    Mmmm
    I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
    That I'm falling apart
    Mmmm
    If I don't ever see you again, oh
    Where do I start
    So come along
    So come along
    So come along
    [Verse 2]
    Battle deep into the night
    'Til you leave the center, the shore behind
    And the great white peaks of new islands rise
    You'll see it all, you'll see it all
    And all these memories come to pass
    In a 1965 photograph
    And I'll never know how you made me laugh
    I'll tell them all, I'll tell them all
    [Chorus]
    Mmmm
    I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
    That I'm falling apart
    Mmmm
    If I don't see you ever again, oh
    Where do I start
    Hey
    Hey
    Hey
    Hey, come on stay
    [Chorus]
    Ooh
    I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
    That I'm falling apart
    Ooh
    If I don't see you ever again
    Oh where do i start.

    wow! I absolutely love and can't get enough of Barns Courtney and Kaleo!!! You guys are FABULOUS!!! Keep up the heart n raw soul you put into your musical can hear it. It keeps me listening. I stumbled across both by accident. So the trend continues; all the things in my life that I love the most come to me quite by accident or no planning on my part.

    Good song when your spirit is so worn out at the end of the day that you can't muster up the will to fake a smile when you try to think of something good. We all need those times to feel hopeless or broken. It shows us how much sweeter the good times are. I'm having a tough time now but I know it'll pass. I may be afraid of falling apart without being able to put myself back together but I know it will pass

    I've been waiting for a musician of a new breed, I've just found them and you offer something special. Your work is unique and I love how you keep to YOUR style, no one else's. Your work is of the highest level and deserves more credit. Fantastic work, really keep it up. Never stop dude. Don't fall into the dark side of the industry. Please don't make songs just to hit the charts for a month or so like everyone else to roll in a sum, continue making songs that'll be remembered and that's exactly what you do, keep at it!
