This combination of friends, a favorite place I’ve worked for 12 years, the performance, and the edit of beautiful footage is deeply meaningful and satisfying to me. It always will be. I freakin love it. Thanks to WesternAF and all involved. Thanks to you who’ve watched, start to finish, and those of you who’ve taken the time to share your joy in it with these awesome comments.
Your music is so amazing! I found you a week ago and have listened to you every day since. Your voice and playing are so beautiful. Can't wait for the next album!
Saw Dean open for Nick Shoulders a couple months back, and was absolutely blown away. Spoke with him when I bought some merch, and can 100% confirm that he is an incredible guy. Will definitely see him any chance I get.
I've probably listened to this song a thousand times since its release. The entire album is great. Sounds like something from a different era, but also feels so new at the same time.
I really dove into Twain in the last couple of years......Spotify recommended this to me today and I have probably listened to it close to 100 times today.......I was traveling with no guitar and itching to get home.....been playing it for the last hour as soon as I got home.......thank you Western AF, gemsonvhs, the pink house and all of you helping get this amazing music out to people.....
I loved this guy the first time I heard him. Somehow I've managed like him more each subsequent time. There's something so timeless about his sound. It truly is beautiful.
An absolute master. Am stoked to be seeing him open for Jenny Lewis soon (Bham). No disrespect to Jenny Lewis- but I’m not going there to see Jenny Lewis. Johnson’s music conveys a heart that resonates with a place timelessly ancient yet familiar to tomorrow’s yesterday. Melodies that flow with a prairie’s terrain. A soundtrack befitting the solitude of a sunset. So rarely does music convey such a palpable condensation of soul.
What's better What's better If I act like everything's cool That I'm doing fine As though I'm happy for you You hardly ever cross my mind Cross my mind I'm doing fine I'll Let the tears fall down like rain My heart out on my sleeve Go around saying your name And let everybody see It's killing me Can't you see No, I'm going to acting school And all you people I will fool You'll believe that it's genuine When you see me smiling all the time Sunshine All the time You hardly cross my mind What's better What's better If I could get you to think That I understand Maybe buy you a drink Shake the hand of your new man Your new man I understand Waste all the summer light Never try anything new Get drunk and start a fight Probably say, "Fuck you" Nothing new Nothing new No, I'm going to acting school And all you people I will fool Under the clear blue sky You'll see no questions in my eyes Darling you'll never know In my heart the fire glows You will not find one sign That you are always on my mind My mind All the time You're always on my mind
I’m so happy Dean got the commercial gig. Put his amazing talent on display for everyone to discover just how amazing he is.

Anyone who has given their life to music deserves that . Happy for you. Shows how sincere you are in your comment. Sounds great!!!!!
Anything with your name in it is an automatic click. Love your music, Dean, it’s a gift.
Man, so good. Hope you ever come over to Europe (and Belgium more specifically ;) )!
Your music is so amazing! I found you a week ago and have listened to you every day since. Your voice and playing are so beautiful. Can't wait for the next album!

His voice feels like country singers from the 50s-70s. really nice.
A new favorite singer/songwriter for me! I have that very guitar brand/model. The stories it could tell...
I need more Dean Johnson
There will never be enough.
Out of all the Wester AF videos, I always come back to rewatch Mr. Johnson. Wonderful voice and song writing. Thank you for putting this out there.
I've probably listened to this song a thousand times since its release. The entire album is great. Sounds like something from a different era, but also feels so new at the same time.
This is something special.
Oh yeah!
Yeah E❤
Ramble on Dean Ol’son, great range, another great job Western! Don’t ever quit.
These dude in the last week has become my favorite artist. Dude is enigmatic.
His voice is so harmonious.
Amen
I share this song with EVERYbody and then I say “You’re welcome. You’re life is much better now.” 💕⚓️💕
YESSSSS what a way to wake up in the morning
agreed!
I think I would be comfortable at Al's Tavern especially when Dean stops by. I love WAF !!!
I felt this song, Ive been acting all my life. Love the song. Beautiful
Same❤
One of my favorites from the joint, NFMP is easily in my top albums this year.
I didn't expect to see Joe Pera on bass, incredible.
Merci ! from France 🇨🇵
This is just something that everyone needs to hear.
I got to see him in Tulsa about a month ago and as an opener people were cheering for an encore! And I got to talk to him after the show, great guy!
So good.
Couldn't agree more!
whole album is dope. hes a trippy dude, cracked me up at the show.
Great tune!
Hell yea
Such a humble cowboy!

This is probably my favorite song off the record, glad to see a Western AF version!
Fantástico! Come to Spain soon por favor!
Really great, this is such a catchy song.
I feel like I’m drunk on whiskey, sober ❤
Damn fine house band
God damn this is the good stuff right here!!!
Thank you Mr. Dean.

Excellent performance. Dean's a stud.
I love this so much. C&W AF for sure, with a hint of early Beatles. Thank you Seattle Times for the great article today.
Soothing.
I love this song so much! Thank you Dean🙏

Love every bit of it. Thanks for introducing me to acker and dean amazing.
Obviously don’t know the guy but Dean seems to be such an authentic genuine dude it comes through in his music.
I know him. He absolutely is. Such an awesome genuine guy
So darn good.
What a gorgeous voice! 💜💕
Dean is a great musician, vocalist and such a nice guy.
Just love this guy ❤
Absolutely love everything about this song ❤
This is special
Love this video
Will wait for Dean to come to Pittsburgh
Get him
Awesome!
Love this music! Thanks so much!🙏🎸
Very unique voice. Loved it!
You can't convince me Dean isn't secretly Christian Bale preparing for another role 😉
Holy shit 🤣🙌
Lol every time
Anyone know how old this guy is? He could be in his 20s or 60s and I would go with it either way 😂 great voice!
Absolutely love it

What's better
What's better
If I act like everything's cool
That I'm doing fine
As though I'm happy for you
You hardly ever cross my mind
Cross my mind
I'm doing fine
I'll Let the tears fall down like rain
My heart out on my sleeve
Go around saying your name
And let everybody see
It's killing me
Can't you see
No, I'm going to acting school
And all you people I will fool
You'll believe that it's genuine
When you see me smiling all the time
Sunshine
All the time
You hardly cross my mind
What's better
What's better
If I could get you to think
That I understand
Maybe buy you a drink
Shake the hand of your new man
Your new man
I understand
Waste all the summer light
Never try anything new
Get drunk and start a fight
Probably say, "Fuck you"
Nothing new
Nothing new
No, I'm going to acting school
And all you people I will fool
Under the clear blue sky
You'll see no questions in my eyes
Darling you'll never know
In my heart the fire glows
You will not find one sign
That you are always on my mind
My mind
All the time
You're always on my mind
Where’s the Duet with Nick Shoulders? Like it Dean!
Dean, you are the knees of bees. Let’s get drunk and start a fight.
👊🤗👊
This is a great song. I play it, but dont do it justice
Christophe je t'aime mon frère ❤
Fuck that was so good
Jake Kohn did another version of this song also check him out!
Bassist is a total smokeshow
this is a banger.
Got the Dale Earnhardt vibe
