I thoroughly agree. 6 years after this video posted, when I watch it tears still come to my eyes. And, let's not forget that Calum's stunning musical sensibility and technical talent play a huge role in making this piece what it is. I've heard numerous covers of it that are posted on RUclips and while admirable, not one of them matches the way that Calum's playing breathes life and color into the music, eliciting that emotional response (from me, anyway) that none others do. Not to get all star-struck or anything, but I do think Calum is a once-in-a-generation guitarist, composer, and musician. Like Michael Hedges was in his day.
Your playing is exquisite. I love hearing it while waking up and starting the day. It's like reading my daily devotional or taking a brisk morning walk here in the early morning sunshine. I thank you and thank God for the gift given you to share. 🌞
I must have listened to this 80 times. When I can't sleep and need to shut down my mind this amazing rendition does it for me. Calming, soothing, quieting. Love all your stuff Calum. A BIG THANK YOU.
No lie spent countless days learing to play this. Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever composed. So grateful I found CG. Changed my way of guitar playing.
I was wondering the same thing ! Calum is definitely one of the world's GREATEST Guitarist! edit: when I responded, there's only 298 844 likes, and it's been a year! We need to increase the amount of sharing his videos!
you are one of my most favourite guitarist from candyrat record, really love your amazing work! i still can't stop listening to your master piece phoenix rising!
I guess his best pieces are Three Way Street, Farewell, Nomad , wait a second everything including his cover of baby by Justin Bieber in 2011 with a beat boxer
I listened to this a few days ago, never thinking I'd have to say goodbye to anybody just yet. I couldn't foresee my cat of roughly four years dying by heart attack not too long after. This is a beautiful work that makes me reflect on the best times I've had with him, as seemingly brief and as long as 4 years can be with my fuzzy little partner in crime. Thank you for making this and sharing it. =')
so sorry to hear about your feline friend Ronin... losing a pet is like losing a family member :( glad to hear the music allowed you to reflect on your good memories together with your fuzzy little partner in crime :)
I´m so sorry to hear of your loss. I too am a cat lover and have had the pleasure of being allowed to share a home with many cats over the years. When they go to the other side, they negver really seem to leave. Your furry friend lives on in our conversations here today with Calum´s music.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your fur baby (furby). I lost my dog a few years ago to old age. Your post got me thinking about her. It's like a your heart being ripped from your chest when they pass away. She came into my life when she was 2. She became My best friend. She was 15 when she passed away. She is currently my last furby. I'm unable to afford another but how I would love to have another dog. I like cats too. I wouldn't throw away a chance to have a cat. I like most animals.
This is so beautiful.... your pieces always have a story to tell. Something that touches the heart. You're so amazing and I hope you will keep making music, because we need more of it :')
Holy crap. What a beautiful song. Made me tear up a little. My uncle just passed and it made me think of him. Thank you for that. Out of all the finger style guitars I listen you have the most "soul" in your music. Andy, Don, and Antoine are still amazing and I just don't get the same bewildered feeling when I watch them play. You have something special. Keep up the great work.
Happy (almost) 1 year anniversary on this beautiful tune! I've been listening to your work for quite a while now, and I always find myself coming back to this video. That natural ocean ambiance just takes it over the top for me, as if it were meant for this song. Very, very well done, sir.
Brother is just so chill and talented. Thank you man. Your music feels me with chills and for that I’m so grateful. Everyone is on their journey. Stay in the knowledge of Love. Only Love. It will bring us to the peace that we are. Always have been. Thank you x
I lived in Hawaii Kai for four years, and loved it. Truly, the meeting place. Your music, and the harmonics in this piece have a similarity to some of the Hawaiian music. Happy to see you and Andy McKee enjoying HI. Wish I was there. Watching you live is on my bucket list! Beautiful
His endings really leave you in awe. Really like the melody, really like the transition to harmonic melody around 310 and enjoy his balance of technique and commitment to the song.
Calum, This is a very beautiful song. When I first heard it and saw the date it was recorded, I was instantly moved to tears as my mother had passed the day before from cancer. I have since shared this with my family so thank you for sharing your wonderful song!. Very fitting .. Looking forward to enjoying more of your compilations.
Respect to your friend for his great filming skills. I was able to learn this entire song by simply watching both of your hands up close. I feel so blessed that there are artists such as yourself that compose such beautiful songs giving us the opportunity to learn them. Much love brotha.
Beautiful and welcoming of thoughts that run through our minds as time and location suggests 🤫, but sometimes it’s better to acknowledge those ourselves in order to communicate that to others. 😢
Your beautiful song touched my heart in a very gentle way , the way you play it makes my soul sing along with You ... thank You Calum ... for me ... the most beautiful song of this world I have ever heard ... truly emazing ❤
It is a gift indeed to reach the level of an accomplished professional guitarist. It must be pure joy to share the labor of refined talent to an appreciative audience.
Number one guitarist of this style for me Mr. Callum. Thanks for your videos and for creating music which makes us drop our jaws. I love how much feeling you put into your songs! Thanks for playing the guitar like you do.
Why there is always a haters in youtube, 33 who dislikes this. This is so very lovely and relaxing and emotional piece of ... Cant think any words l can use.
Incredible. Masterful control and delivery -- sounds so free and flowing. And hearing the ocean in the background is a wonderful touch. Thank you for your music, its truly a gift.
I love how you capture what I think is one of the most important things in melody - simplicity. Ornamentation serves to enhance not detract from it. Thank you for this beautiful piece!
This song showed up in my news feed shortly after finding out that a monumental influence on my life had passed. I don't believe in signs, or god(s), but this was a nice coincidence to help me through the loss.
Como eu amo essa música 🥹 Meu filho quando nasceu a 3 anos atrás, ele só conseguia dormir ouvindo exatamente essa música kkk Eu colocava ela pra repetir umas 2 a 3 vezes até ele dormi ... Hoje meu BB tá com 3 anos.😢🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 Marcou nossas vidas com esse lindo som 🎶🎵
I know that there's guitarists that do a lot of covers by other people and those always sound great, but the music that you make is incredibly amazing. I am truly inspired by your guitar playing to continue to become better with music. :)
This song gives me goosebumps..floods of great memories wash over me of good times spent with friends and family that warm my heart !! Set to this music I run the best home movies in my mind ! ... thanks Calum
WOW! This song so beautiful! I LOVE THIS SONG! So beautifully played on a beautiful beach, on location in my favorite place in the world, Maui, Hawaii !!! This is where I have been inspired to sing and write many of my songs! I am so happy you are there! This video made my day! Thank you for sharing Calum!!!
I love this song❤ I was moved when I first heard it. My friend told me that there is a wonderful guitarist. I'm so happy. Thank you for the wonderful song. （From Japanese fans） My English isn't good ..and so sorry..
This song is just incredible. The musicality is "off-the-charts". Been listening to the harp guitar version and trying to figure it out on standard 6 string in the tuning you play it. Thanks so much for working up the tab - just pre-ordered it.
I just saw my comment below... 6 years ago. Wow. I still keep coming back to listen to my favorite Calum Graham masterpiece. ❤
Me too…
My mom passed away that year you played this. I miss her everyday since.
Graham, "Farewell" is one of the most beautiful songs ever composed for and played on an acoustic guitar. Simply gorgeous.
No argument here!!
Agree
Fantastico. El sonido del mar le agrega un ambiente muy agradable.

I enjoy reading the psalms to this 😉
@@corywyant3984 great idea 💡
Still after all these years, this is still my favorite song you do...
I could hear this beautiful piece a thousand times and never tired in... Thanks for inspiring a lot of peace!... Greats From Colombia!.
Gracias! 🙏
This might be the most beautiful song ever.
I must have listened to this 80 times. When I can't sleep and need to shut down my mind this amazing rendition does it for me. Calming, soothing, quieting. Love all your stuff Calum. A BIG THANK YOU.
Awesome to hear that Donald Mackenzie, thanks for listening! Much love from calgary ✌🏽
It’s like the ocean can hear him playing and resonate with the sounds...
I’m huge on metal but I find myself coming back to listening to this every once and awhile. Beautiful
Yeah same here. I'm the only 52 year old that listens to Amon Amarth and then this guy.
Same. One of my favorite songs
This is Beauty and Peace.
I listened at dinner to this work together with the father. When music ended, he told what beautiful soul has to be at this guy that to compose it.
What a bright star. What a talent.
No lie spent countless days learing to play this. Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever composed. So grateful I found CG. Changed my way of guitar playing.
Greatest disciple of Michael Hedges I have ever seen :)
How this only can have 4,2K Likes! Soooooo GOOOOOOD! Love it Calum

Can't believe I've only just discovered Calum. This has to be one of my favorite videos on youtube. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift Calum.

Anthony Frederick Calum and I stayed in Hawaii Kai for 4 days! Great area and beaches. We enjoyed Hanauma Bay and Koko Head right down the street!
His endings really leave you in awe. Really like the melody, really like the transition to harmonic melody around 310 and enjoy his balance of technique and commitment to the song.

This song is so beautiful Calum! You write such gorgeous music.
Your a prolific guitarist. Thanks for inspiring other musicians with your authentic music to learn more finger picking. Awesome song!
This song is a thing of beauty! God blessed you! Ty

One of the most beautiful bits of music I've ever heard! Thank You!
A true talent. His composition is always brilliant.
Astonishing. So bloody moving, just... chills
A beach on Maui much like that one is where the long goodbye of an old friend first began.
More genius from Calum. It should no longer be a surprise. Thanks for sharing.
joy & sadness reminds me of my deceased big brother Tito, great song to remember him with
It is a gift indeed to reach the level of an accomplished professional guitarist. It must be pure joy to share the labor of refined talent to an appreciative audience.
Anyone else notice the Angels in the Clouds? They too were mesmerized! Thanks Calum
Most Breathtaking Guitarist Ever!!!
Number one guitarist of this style for me Mr. Callum. Thanks for your videos and for creating music which makes us drop our jaws.

Incredible. Masterful control and delivery -- sounds so free and flowing. And hearing the ocean in the background is a wonderful touch. Thank you for your music, its truly a gift.
Just started learning this today. Going to enjoy every step of the journey. Also learning "waiting", thanks Calum from the UK.
I find myself returning time and again to hear this piece. Beautifully done and very soothing, especially with the background. Thanks!
This version....and not jst cuz the scenery...I sware..ok maybe a little..but I've seen other versions, but ALWAYS come back to this one...
I cant stop listening to his songs!!!!!!
I love how you capture what I think is one of the most important things in melody - simplicity. Ornamentation serves to enhance not detract from it. Thank you for this beautiful piece!

Como eu amo essa música 🥹
Meu filho quando nasceu a 3 anos atrás, ele só conseguia dormir ouvindo exatamente essa música kkk
Eu colocava ela pra repetir umas 2 a 3 vezes até ele dormi ...
Hoje meu BB tá com 3 anos.😢🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Marcou nossas vidas com esse lindo som 🎶🎵
I always admire your control over the guitar. Your dedication to your craft is always inspiring.
You have six sense.
Your music sense is sophisticated.

Amazing music in amazing nature. Pure beauty for ears and eyes
That touches my soul to deeply. Many thanks for you BEING !!!
This is one of the greatest guitar instrumentals of all time
You are a true legend. I've enjoyed watching and listening to your music since CGF 2010. Thanks for providing such great sounds. Best wishes.
What a pleasure de hear these strings flowing in the air with thé écho of waves..
I know that there's guitarists that do a lot of covers by other people and those always sound great, but the music that you make is incredibly amazing. I am truly inspired by your guitar playing to continue to become better with music. :)

I'm so happy.
Thank you for the wonderful song.
（From Japanese fans）
My English isn't good ..and so sorry..
Very emotional tune. I just loved the atmosphere with the ocean in the background.
Absolutely beautiful song ...Wow
This is one of the most amazing guitar pieces ever written ❤ (Side note: Chord at 1:04 is a bit of a stretch.)
So fluid yet so technical..wwow!
Beautiful scenery and an even more beautiful song. Amazing!
You got my attention 10/10
Peacefull and brings so much ocean feelings
Simply beautiful..... totally gobsmacked
This song is just incredible. The musicality is "off-the-charts". Been listening to the harp guitar version and trying to figure it out on standard 6 string in the tuning you play it. Thanks so much for working up the tab - just pre-ordered it.
I tried as well, but the harmonics were impossible to reach
Where do you get tabs??
The most beautiful guitar solo I've heard! Malama Pono my Brother
1:43 TO APPROX 2:00.....GENIUS.
man Calum that's just sweet to the ears !!!
I have never heard something so soul stirring in my life.
Calum is just fu*****ng amazing!
This will make you weep wow! That
absolutely exquisite song Callum. You are such a masterful guitarist and song writer
got my harp guitar this week, time to learn this masterpiece
Calum you always blow me away. your stuff sometimes remind me of Adrian Legg but you are the man! killer on the harmonics too. \m/
Beautiful, reminds me of the Channel. It's amazing to hear what a single guitar can do in the right hands. Thanks Calum.
There are no words...bravo👏👏👏
