It's lovely. May I ask if Muriel Anderson was an influence?
@mikedawesofficial You are my favorite guitarist of all time. Your music literally brings tears to my eyes because of how truly beautiful it is. It touches my soul. I have requested that when I leave this earth that your music be played at my service. Thank you for playing the music that I hear in my head but I don't have the musical talent to bring it to life the way you do my friend. My guitar skills are virtually non existent compared to yours😂
That piece is stunning! It truly is your greatest piece yet. So amazing. You're a phenomenal composer and of course an amazing player. Hedges would be proud!
Really hope to see and meet you some day.
You know, at the end of the day, one can be truly amazed by what only One man & Just One Guitar are capable of. Fantastic indeed 👏
What kind of guitar are you playing on?
You managed to silence my 5yr old for 7 mins while we listened to this together - you have super powers 😂. Wonderful stuff.
That’s amazing aww
@mikedawesofficial you silenced all of us. Amazing stuff man.
My 6 and 4 year old daughters did the same. Just stared and listened for the entire time. I’m gonna start blasting this any time things get too hectic lol
Yo not only did you get those few minutes, but you got a response from one of the greatest percussive guitarists to ever walk this earth 🤌
As a classical guitarist for the past 55yrs Mike has blown me away with his technique, expression and song writing skills. Bravo Mike because you have sought excellence and have been rewarded.
We’ll said Sir,for me he is the best on this planet 🌍👏🏴
So much awful in the world, you just gifted me with 7 minutes of peace. Taking a deep breath, smiling, and thanking the universe for such beauty.
I have no words for how overwhelming this is. I have played guitar since 2001, and it is my primary emotional outlet. I have been suffering from fingertip dermatitis for the past year, which has prevented me from playing guitar during that time, despite my best efforts to address the causes of my dermatitis. I'm home sick for the past 4 days, and this just dropped. I clicked on it as soon as i saw it, and about 45 seconds to a minute in, right as that OC-5 kicks in, and there's a flash of a smile in the left corner of your mouth, a tidal wave of emotion blindsided me and i sobbed like an infant for the rest of the song. i felt fear, desperation, anger, frustration, and profound sadness, but buried deep in there, holding the whole mess together, Hope. I don't know if i've ever cried like that in my life.
I've only listened to the song once, and i need to calm myself down before i listen again. I've had to pause several times to gather myself even as i write this comment. I am compelled to share my deepest gratitude for sharing this song. you have helped unlock a measure of the emotions i've been holding in over the past year. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I wish i could express to you the way i feel right now. This comment is a feeble attempt, but i want you to know that you have gifted me a puzzle piece on my road to recovery. Again, thank you.
Hey I hope it is ok I respond❤
I play guitar since mid 90s and intensely since I am 16, I am 39 now. The last 3 years have been hardest of my life cause for an auto immune/neurological disease, I cant play the extend I used to have. But at least I am able to play on better days if. I am beyond grateful for it, to still do it, even if its hard not play that much or practice on a regular basis. I feel ur comment, and its really hard and frustrating to not be able to play guitar😢.
Mike is a pure genius and his music is truly a gift, not only but especially in hard times. All the best to you. And improving health. Cheers from Germany
I often feel a depth of emotion words can't express when I listen to acoustic like this, that was a beautiful attempt to quantify something that can't be put in a box. I hope your fingers heal buddy, God bless.
I'll never forget the day I played guitar again (without pain) years after I lost my middle and ring finger tips of my left hand. I thought the injury itself would never heal, and when it had healed - then came the doubt that the scar tissue would ever be less sensitive to handle the metal strings and build calluses - it stung like fuck.
I'm writing this to you sir because I also cried like I haven't in years when I listened to this song, and for all the same reasons as yourself, although I wish I had 'hope' sooner and not doubted the recovery process. I know I would've healed faster with more optimistic eyes!
If I had hope I would have used the opportunity to buy a keyboard & some good headphones, and start learning musical theory from a different instrument (it is much easier) and expressing myself in a new way. Translate some of my pieces to piano, learn songs, etc.
I now enjoy piano so much I couldn't imagine it not being in my life - everything happens for a reason!
I have always loved Mike Dawes and a new release like this is a true blessing.
You are not alone...
To pour your heart out like that to strangers is huge bro I can only wish you the very best for the future hang in there bro music will save us all if we let it - throwing out love to you man take care ❤
Musicians are, most of the time, the only people who can make me feel anything. This is nourishment for my soul.
7 minutes might be a lot in our fast-forward and short focused society but, sometimes, they might be all you need to breathe.
Thank you Mike, this is soul nourishing.
That’s what I’m here for 🙏
You speak the language of angels. Stunning !
Song of the year!
Man this is such a great song. Even now when it comes in the radio at work and I’ve heard it a million times its still glorious. The rare pop song that’s so heartfelt to boot. Not to mention this dude crushes this arrangement of it. Props.
I really believe this is going to go down in history as one of the most beautiful fingerstyle songs ever written. It's so refreshing to hear again a guitarist with something to say... And you say it loud and clear.
Mike has the platinum trophy for acoustic guitar.
Fr no doubt
This Is paradise 💙💙💙🎼🎵🎶🎸
Absolutely breathtaking my man!🔥
Thanks bro! Love ya
A masterpiece! God bless you!
5:18 what a clean capo transition! That song is awesome Mike!
G7th capos make it easy ha. Well, kind of easy...
2:22 hedges written all over it... this might be the best acoustic fingerstyle song I've ever heard man.. bravo Mike 💪🏼☝🏼
A genius of acoustic guitar. This song is no fluke or random flash of empty techniques, it’s a coherent message, from a composer’s brain, though the vessel of the guitar. I love this piece
🙌🏻Mike, this is exquisite. A masterpiece. 🤍🕊 Thank you for this moment of tranquil contemplation.🤍🕊
🤍The outro lightly rains God's grace upon our soul.🕊

Even if this piece wasn't called 'Cloud Catcher' it makes me envision flying through a cloudy sky regardless. Truly fantastic mate! The video is awesome too!
Best song in years... beautiful in every way! Congratulations MD x TE
Mate, thank you
Don't tell me its his personal account that the world doesn't know about @mikedawesofficial
@@biratdatta 😂❤
This song left me completely speechles in the best way possible. The level of genius on the accoustic guitar as well as the feelings created by the wonderful melodies and handmade sound-FX cannot be put into words. Instrumental song of the decade.
This song is supernatural. My 5 y.o. son started to calm from tantrum and listening to it.
You pulled out all the modern fingerstyle stops, but in such a stunningly tasteful way. I'm constantly in awe with your skill and sense of melody and harmony.
This tune strikes me as very Hedges-esque, but it's so much more. You truly took the legacy of fingerstyle guitar, but instead of just copying you build upon it your own story, expressed not only with technical finesse, but first and foremost with feeling, groove, musicality, tenderness and incredible taste. That's what acoustic fingerstyle guitar is about. Kudos, you're amazing, and this is and instant classic, as well as one of my new favorite songs. Thank you!
Flawless. I've been playing guitar since 1976; I can say that it doesn't get any better. He is blessed.
Mr. Mike Dawes, this is a soul-touching beauty 🤩😍🥰🤗, a heart-melting piece of work 💓💓💓🎸🎼🎵🎶🔥💯!!! A HUGE thank you for sharing 🫴🫱💝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻!!! ☮💙
Mr Dawes you are absolutely incredible. Youve been my new favorite guitatist since king edward passed. You had me at the " jump" tribute. This piece is amazing. Especially like the vibrato move above the nut. The end is spectacular. I cant wait to see you play.this thursday at main street crossing in tomball TX.
Otherworldly experience. Music can be so magical to behold. So grateful to get to hear it!
I literally never comment. But this is just amazing. What a beautiful expression of your passion. Absolutely breathtaking. Bravo.
Wow, thank you!
Once again, one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Thank you for expressing yourself, the world is brighter for it.
Thanks mate
Bro im tryin not to cry listening to this in the parking lot at work... 😂 There's nobody like you Mike! 👏✌️
finger strength is phenomenal
Brought a huge smile on my face throughout the entire 7 mins. Amazing, I wish you could come to Ireland some day. ☘️
He did sir, Belfast at least with Tommy Emmanuel a few months ago. It was great! Hopefully they’ll be back. Slainte
Also hit up Derry and Dublin as well. I hope they do come back, I had to work 😢
Like a surgeon, Mike's hands and fingers perform miracles! Beautiful composition! No matter where you play!
Awww Mike. That's beautiful.
That key change was pure nostalgia
Relaxing music. Midway through the song, an homage to Michael Hedges could be found. Thank you Mike!
❤
Now that's a novel way of modulation...capo! FANTASTIC MATE!
I dont think it gets better than this.
That harmonic section in the middle is straight up crazy. Takes some serious skill
The second half of that section is scary. Muscle memory takes over because there's no time to think
Thank you for making this world a bit more beautiful and lighter Mike. Everything about this song is gorgious.
Mike Dawes, really; you always surprise us ....the composition, the interpretation, the musical arrengements..... everything is just beautiful, perfect, marvelous..... 1 hour and some minutes listening that song "Cloud Catcher" !!!!! Over and over and over again........
There are days when I listen to Mike and it makes me want to throw my guitars away, and there are days when I listen and just feel inspired.
Today is a day where i feel inspired.
Juat awesome
I’m a nobody, but nobodies know music and this is music. Absolutely beautiful,captivating and awe inspiring. Thank you 👏👏👏👏
So very beautiful and passionate. Music has been a huge part of the healing process, both body and mind after a recent cancer journey. This brings such peace to my soul. My alarm wakes me every morning with you and Tommy Emmanuel playing "Fields of Gold" so I always wake up with a happy heart. Thank You so very much for your incredible gift of music. Happy Birthday!! Cheers!! 🙂
I don't think I've ever commented on your videos though I watch them a lot. This one was just too moving not to say something.
Absolutely beautifully powerful. Thx, Mike !
Reminescent of Michael Hedges, amazing work mike we love you ❤❤
Parts sounding like a straight homage to parts of aerial boundaries. Too similar not to be I would think. I would assume this dude is heavily inspired by him but idk
Mike, it's beautiful. It's such a clear narrative story, I'm desperate to know: What's it about? (I could decide for myself, you know, cos it's music. But I'd love to hear whatever you're willing to reveal of the story behind it.)
Jon, u are same kind of amazing. Hope u are doing well.
On the gloomiest of mid winter, Friday mornings, I feel that this song may have saved my life. Thanks Mike. 🎭❤️🩹
I remember when you first composed the melody for the looper video during lockdown. The final composition was worth the wait. This evokes so many emotions. Really Beautiful
Well spotted 🎉
Finally!!! Been waiting on this for two years 😂🤩. Such a gorgeous song, Mike! Can't wait to listen on repeat now.
Cheers Bob!
Always reminding me why I fell in love with guitar at a young age. I may not always play as much as I’d like, but writing and playing like this takes me right back home! Tremendous. Thank you!
Thank you. Nothing like picking up am old guitar and getting back into it
Stunning Mike, thank you Brother. Many blessings.
Thank you, thank you very much! 7 minutes of peace, in every note, thump, knuckle hit, overtone, you brought me peace!
This is a video of a man doing nothing but expressing what we are all here to express.
hands down the most beautiful piece you've created. This was true art my friend, and I'm grateful to have experienced it
Thanks, it is my favourite
What the heck dude... Song just end and my eyes are filled. That was the best guitar song I've ever heard. I honestly can't believe it. So many elements, so much feeling, so much musicality. Can't think of good enough words.
Mike, that's is a beautiful and masterful piece and journey. I love it!
We saw Mike at Workplay in Birmingham, AL last night. He played Cloud Catcher (for only the 2nd time live according to him) and IT WAS PHENOMENAL. Truly breathtaking. I was so absorbed in the performance I kinda forgot where I was for a minute. Snapped back to reality when the crowd went crazy at the close. What an amazing time. Thanks Mike! Come back soon!
(very happy I got one of the few tiny guitars left for sale)
The cheeky capo change is mega. Hits just right. What a masterpiece ❤
Listening very early on a cold South African winters morning - what a wonderful way to start the day. Thank you
This is truly beautiful. I am reminded of Michael Hedges & Craig Chaquico.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard played on a guitar ❤
A new Mike Dawes video is like Christmas. Makes me happy all of a sudden.
Incredible as always, Mr. Dawes. Thanks for blessing us with your talent.
It's got John DENVER..."fly away" vibes....love it !!
Great Job !!!!
This is the pinnacle of modern percussive acoustic fingerstyle! An otherworldly piece of music! 🤘🏻👍🏻👌🏻
It's been an hour and every time I close my eyes listen to this feels like am in an Orchestral concert thanks a lot for sharing this nostalgic piece 🍻
You never disappoint, always with super melodies and wonderful execution. Music for the soul.
Thanks for playing such a wonderful song for us ❤️ , always in your support 😁👍
This song really touched my heart 🥲 Incredibly brilliant, as always Mike🧡
Much love and greetings from Germany 😊✌
🤘
I'm at a loss for words. This is simply beautiful! I love it! You're awesome! ❤❤🔥
Always mesmerizing Mike, I hope to see you live someday
I absolutely loved the incredible performance you and Tommy Emmanuel gave us at the very intimate Rogue Valley Theater in Grants Pass Oregon last year. May I never miss a chance to see you. Blessing on you Mate!
Glad you enjoyed it. I remember that tour, it was tough in the snow!
Had I not seen this, I would’ve sworn it was 3 guitarists & 1 percussionist. As a longtime fingerstyle guitarist, I can say from experience that this masterpiece is an achievement of a monumental amount of work, diligence, precision and skill.
Even by Mike's elevated standards, this is a phenomenal song. Beautiful!
Dang that's just a bucket of loveliness. Also, I gotta say I really like your sweater.
Also, thanks for posting this. The vid description hipped me to the fact that you're playing in my town, so I grabbed tickets. Now I get to hear you live. Awesome.
wow! this really is a masterpiece! the low end im getting in my studio is ridiculous
I'm a long-time follower, but this has made you my favorite guitar player of all time. Thanks!
That's sweet. This is my favourite tune to play, hands down. That key change ha
Ilove listening to the acoustic guitar since i was a little Boy and l always will. Especially when IT IS played by such a fantastic young guitar master.
Thanks a million Mike Dawes.
Greetings from Germany
This is technically so unbelievably clean and perfect, yet full of depth, warmth and… musicality. It reminds me of Master Hedges, only three decades an a few lighyears on. No one I know has reached these delicate hights, Mike. I so much look forward to see and hear you live, later this year in Bremen. Thanks 🙏
So pumped for that tour. Danke 🙏
Thanks Mike, I didn’t expect a personal answer. Wow. Please make sure there are some Mike Dawes t-shirts on sale at the Glocke. I want to buy one.
Take care
Rolf
Feeling high in the clouds with this one. Always stunning! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent.
Damm that was indescribable
Tnx mike tnx for your music in this crazy times.
Absolutely gorgeous and so talented, mesmerizing
Might be the only guitar player, behind Tommy and right next to Tim Henson, that I'll listen to every song....So many good guitar players, but I have my favorites. Ur one of the best tempo/rythmic players I think I've ever heard. Keep bringing me goodies!
Thank you for being you, and doing what you do
Breathtaking song. You know a song is good when it's an instrumental but the melodies in it are so strong on their own they immediately get stuck in your brain upon finishing it.
You speak through the instrument in the way I have always wished for. Thank you for sharing your wonderful touch!!
This is amazing it sounds like a lot of famous vocal melodies converted to guitar riffs
I could knock a tune out like that in a few hrs, 3 cords and the truth is all you need.
Absolutely fecking beautiful composition. The epitome of fingerstyle guitar. Everything done to serve the music itself. Such beauty hidden in the intricacy and technicality.
Thank you Mike..for sharing your journey with us..an absolute pleasure
Amazing...It flew me to the sky.....
(Listening this alone on my living room at 03.30 AM)
Upea sävellys, taidot ihanasti kietoutuu kerronnan sisälle, tasapainossa. Tällaisia on ilo kuulla illan viimeiksi musiikkikappaleiksi. Akustinen, instrumentaali ja kitara ikuisesti eläköön.
Mike at its peak!!! The most rounded acoustic player. Love what you do
gorgeous!
Mate thank you. I'm worried a 7 minute instrumental is too long for modern audiences ha. Super glad you've seen it
Spectacular! Perfect an hour before bedtime - now I am calm and my soul is set free.
those ending harmonics are f’n gorgeous
🔥 This man’s guitar speaks a logos. Did anyone else hear it begin to rain? 🌧️
To say that this is a beautiful piece of music would be an understatement! Haven't been this blown away by an acoustic guitar composition for a long time.. wow
Thank you 🙏 I hope a lot of people will learn this song
@@mikedawesofficial Without a shadow of a doubt, they will. Give it a few more days and I bet you someone already posts a cover (you know the people with the time machines). Personally, it's a little out of my league, but I'd love to give it a go
how does one compose something so beautiful
