Barak Hill
Добавлен 13 июл 2007
I'm a singer-songwriter based out of Southwest Missouri. Born and raised in the midwest (Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri) I've taken to calling my music "Mid-Americana."
“Where Hill excels, and so few of his contemporaries do, is in making silence and pause into storytelling devices unto themselves...Hill’s lyrical approach is economical and plain-spoken, the words of everyman. But they’re delivered with the careful pacing and assuredness of a man who knows the impact he wants and how to get it. It’s this sense of when not to sing or even play that lends the songs a gravitas they could lose in the hands of someone else.” - Chris DeRosier, TAG Magazine
“Brutally honest expressions of obstacles to love.” - Ed Peaco, Springfield News Leader
“A masterful storyteller and riveting performer.” - Brett Johnston, Compass Rose Online

Barak Hill - No More Goodbyes (Recorded Live at Mid-Americana Sound)
I wrote "No More Goodbyes" after watching Chloé Zhao's amazing film Nomadland. This version was recorded live at Mid-Americana Sound Studio on July 14, 2024. You can also find this song on my album Songs Like Arrows.
I'm playing a Martin 000-15M. The mics are an Ear Trumpet Labs Myrtle and a Warm Audio WA-19 on the guitar.

Great song and performance
Very nice, Barak. Thanks for sharing!
Great song...thanks for the creation of it.
@@Upsidedownguitar63 Thank you
absolutely gorgeous my friend
@@jacobfurrmusic Thank you so much
So, I'm digging through a box of junk and find this old hard drive from 15 years ago. There's a folder on it with a bunch of old MP3s. I rediscover this song a friend sent me way back then, "Maybe This Won't Hurt" by Barak Hill. Nice to see you're still making music! You should upload a performance of that song...one of my faves.
Thanks, Sean! It's been awhile since I played that one. I'll have to dust it off and see if I can get a video recorded.
Good song!
Bravo! You have a fantastic and expressive voice. Every performance is first rate.
Would love a fresh rendition of "Hannah, See You Soon!"
I'll work on that for you. Thanks for listening.
Lindo! Um beijo daqui do Brasil
Nicely done.
Very good, thanks for your music!
Thank you
Beautiful song. 👏
Thanks, Levi
This is way better than a 29 view video!!! Keep it up brother!!
Thanks!
Nice.
Love this one Barak!
Thanks!
You sound great, Barak!!
Thank you, Laura!
The best ❤️
Thank you, Lori
The old Gibson sounds great. Very good recording showing off M/S.
Hey Barak! What are you filling with? This looks so great! Have always loved this song
Thanks, Jacob. I'm shooting the video with a Sony A6000. Audio is that single Edwina running straight into Logic. Come up and record something or shoot some video in the studio. It'd be fun to see you.
Hi, here is a song praising the people involved in building the stable, I hope you like it: ruclips.net/video/ewElyt_1Kp0/видео.html
Such a great song
Thanks!
your dog's got to pee! LOL
I don't know about you other six viewers but I pretty much live for these interviews now.
thank you dishwashers and goodnight
love this. everyone should do this.
Great idea! Love it.
Me and my girlfriend found your work through Reddit... Great music! Is there a way to support you by buying a CD?
Thanks, Sascha! You can listen to and buy my albums at barakhill.bandcamp.com or on iTunes or Amazon.
Absolutely wonderful!
Great job really liked it, please keep on! Love from Berlin
I dig it!
Thanks!
Hey Barak, if you're wondering where the bump in views came from your video was shared on Reddit.com. There is a popular subreddit there for sharing music called "listen to this." Great song and hope it gets many more views.
This is awesome! Reddit sent me here
Absolute gem of a song. Can't tell you how many times I wake up in the morning singing this.
Barak: good stuff! Came across this while surfing new music on YT. Simple clear music, arresting vocals. Love the spare arrangement/performance of this video. This is what a singer songwriter is all about. Very warm sounding audio. Can you tell me the microphone you were using? Thanks.
+Dave Meeks Thanks, I appreciate that. Audio was recorded with a Zoom H1 stereo recorder.
Great Tune!
wow, LOVE this one Barak!
Great tune. My first glimpse at the fact that Frank Baum wrote other books about the characters in the Wizard of Oz. The gruesome story of the Tin Woodsman is a wild one. Love the lyric you built around the man's dilema.
Great song!... and nice sounding guitar (got the same one) can you tell me what string/gauge your using, and preamp? -Thx, peace p.s. can't get ur site to open here...
@LiontimeACT Thanks so much! I'm glad you like the album, and I really appreciate the feedback and the help spreading the word. Keep it up. Maybe I'll make it to Albuquerque for a house show or two someday.
Nice!!! Found you on eMusic.com....
@LiontimeACT Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
@mackiekathy Thanks, Mackie.
