    There's something to this song performed this way that shows his true emotional connection to the song. He's more connected to his music than most people are to their own emotions. He's just so intact, and you can't not love the lyrics. They impact everyone on a certain level.

    God, his voice is seriously on point in this performance

    This song has such lovely shades of yellow and orange, it's great to finally have a song about my condition :)

      This song doesn't do it for me, but Canyon Moon and Fire Escape do! All kinds of shapes and colors.

    As a person who has synesthesia, it was so cool to hear this song an be able to empathize with the chorus.

    • @corwin32
      @corwin32 4 года назад +1

      Definitely. I wouldn’t describe it that way, personally. I’d say something like, “that sounds orange”. But, yeah.

  • @bunnysparkle
    @bunnysparkle 8 лет назад +21

    Andrew is a gift. That's all I can describe him as. There are many singers I adore and enjoy, but his songs are so filled with emotion and so genuine that I can hardly explain. He's just like his songs in person too. A great person.

  • @raffistewartx3

  • @horsegirl505

    I just love seeing his big goofy smile at the beginning of the video 0:06 and how it just sits there for a moment. It makes me happy :)

    "i guess I never made a gold record and I've never been to mars"
    can someone help this man out with getting a gold record... or at least get him to Mars. He kinda deserves that at least.

    • @JSuper7
      @JSuper7 7 лет назад +5

      The beginning of this song is a flashback to "Leaving through the window."

    • @sherrigilson3873
      @sherrigilson3873 7 лет назад

      Evan Bourassa Yes he does. But I think he's happy where he's at. Just Love Him!

    • @sherrigilson3873

      Evan Bourassa Not kinda. Have you seen some of the singers that get those?? Horrible, Shut Music.

      I agree. I enjoy this version much more than that on the EP.

  • @kyzq9744
    @kyzq9744 9 лет назад +11

    I grew up thinking that everyone saw h's as orange or f's a green, but after a long while I found that I was actually different. I embrace my condition and, even though I find it hard to explain, people learn to deal with it. Artists like this and their songs really help get the word out about our condition and communicate to the world that we're not freaks and go through the same trials as normal people, just with a few connected senses.

    • @caramelzip5731
      @caramelzip5731 8 лет назад +1

      +Kyzq same. i grew up thinking that everyone perceived names as colours. my friend ryan has always been red, jess pale yellow and kian olive green. ive only just told ryan about it but he now thinks im a freak. some people just dont understand.

      I don't want to bash on the industry but be glad it's the way it is. Look at Gavin DeGraw. He unfortunatly only released crap in the last 5 years.

    I have synesthesia and for me the colors that are really the most dominant are
    For the piano: blue(the color of the instrument), green and yellow
    The voice: green(the color of his voice), orange, bright teal
    Its really beautiful and even more with it.
    Hiw do you guys see it though please tell me its so interesting to know how others make connections

    • @arieltaylor735
      @arieltaylor735 3 года назад

      Teal I see, the music is purple, his voice is silver in the chorus, dark green for most of the verses.. almost teal, more.. evergreen to me?

    I'm not alone! An uncle from North Carolina had this amazing voice, his accent, it was like a mound of melting vanilla ice cream with caramel rivers, and soft gold lighting....ahhh. I could have listen to him talk for hours. a little girl came into work one day, and she said A is red and D has zebra stripes...i kinda freaked our, i was so excited! her mom said "it's just a phrase," no ma'am she'll always be like this but it's wonderful :)

    I first saw Andy play in front of a thinned out Sunday crowd at Voodoo Fest 2006 with Jack's. It was the first major show post-Katrina in New Orleans as far as I know. By Sunday most people had left to head home to their various cities, yet Andy rocked that damn show for probably less than 1000 folks like he was playing a sold-out Staples Center. Ever since he got up and stomped on his keys to close that set out I've been a fan for life and it's awesome to see his growth. And like someone said before, where's his damn Grammy?

    • @nmlepage
      @nmlepage 7 лет назад

      He's my favorite live show! My first ever show was last year at the state theater in Portland Maine and ever since I've been in love with his music! If you haven't yet go on Netflix and check out Dear Jack it chronicles his fight with leukemia and I gained so much more respect for him even though I didn't think that was possible! Great documentary and it's narrated by Tommy Lee which is awesome too!
