Don’t get me wrong. I definitely love your a cappella video game covers, but this is a breath of fresh air and sounds awesome in a whole new way and it’s great that you’re branching out and doing what feels right to you instead of being pigeonholed.
It's always nice to see youtubers take a break and rediscover the reason they started youtube in the first place. To express themselves from the heart ❤️
Incredible vocal range! You may be most widley known for your a capella, but I've always loved your song covers and original voice work. Can't wait for the rest of Flames of Change!
I'm 32 now and there's something about this piece that makes me feel like I'm 17 again. I can't really put my finger on it, but it was magical. "I began my life with a single thought, but who's the one thinking?" is a killer line. I'll be thinking about this for a while.
Seems like Smooth has gone through a spiritual awakening, awakening to his identity as Consciousness, not the thought and concept of him as a person. Great song
Same. It brings me back to the times when I was in high school and going to church with my youth group and our youth pastors myself and 2 others formed a little church band and played music like this that he wrote
Those runs are absolutely stunning. And your chord choices are just beautiful. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you. I’ll definitely check out the rest of the album.❤
I've been listening to your acapella's for over a decade and seeing this really made me feel like you're pursuing a path that you've long wanted to tread, a new chapter for your channel so to speak and I hope that this new direction of yours gets all the success and attention that it deserves but more importantly I hope doing it makes you happy. Great job on your debut song! I look forward to seeing where this new path takes you.
Holy crap, Smooth. This is wonderful. I was not expecting it to sound like this, and am taken aback in the best way. You have an Incubus sound to your vocals, but it's so unique. The choices here are fresh and different. Just wonderful, man. Thank you for sharing.
Mr Smooth I have been occasionally coming to your channel since have been to RUclips. Sometimes, your acapellas made me happy again, when I felt sad. Now, listening to your original song, I’m happy to find so much comfort in your music too! There is truly some essence in your music that is really comforting, especially in the lyrics too! I hope that you will make a lot of music even in the future
Smooth McGroove's streams circa 12013 were such an important part of a critical moment of my life. I met some of my best internet friends on there and I had the experience to hear Smooth just talking about his thoughts and his life philosophy. I owe so much to this bright soul who probably doesn't know I exist. Knowing he's still doing his best brightens my life.
This was great, Smooth. Thank you. Wishing you all the best with your new music, the album and live show. You've been nothing but so kind to all of us here. There's a reason we keep sticking around. And I just wanted say, jokingly wih a glimmer of hope, when is the Smooth McGroove/Super Guitar Bros/Dan Avidan dream team going to happen!?
I feel like this is the end of an era as we go from video game covers to original songs, but if the result is something beautiful like this, I'm here for it
Y'know, I'm so used to your video game covers that sometimes I forget what an amazing singer you are. And by God, that beard is just as glorious as it was when I first subscribed!
Well, this answers one of the questions at the back of my mind: what would it sound like if Smooth actually sang a regular song? Answer: frickin' awesome!
This is so unbelievably beautiful. I've been following you for years and everything you touch has felt so genuine and honest. This is no different. Thank you for sharing this with us all. As a fan I'm truly blessed.
Took over a decade of hearing his voice to really understand just how beautiful it is. Legit feels like im discovering a song from the early 2000s as a child all over again
I'm excited for what you do next, Smooth, but don't force yourself. Enjoy life, have fun, and don't force yourself. The community will stand behind you.
For real. He’s used his voice to pretty much every song and cover but this is the first time i have realized that his voice is actually beyond beautiful… I almost feel bad for not realizing it until now
From someone who has been listening to the very earliest form of original music you put out for fun ( like Jeren, two thosands blocks away, and more). I'm deeply moved and honoured that you have shared your artistry like this. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album, super stoked for you Smooth and what's yet to come. Congratulations once again !!!!!🎉🎉🎉 ❤️❤️❤️
That was stunning! What a beautiful meditation on the circularity of life… it’s interesting when we stop to consider our one precious life is just another one in the natural cycle, but we’re too anthropocentric to realize that.
First of all, LET'S FREAKING GOOOO!!! WE GOT A NEW EPIC VIDEO AND UNIQUE SONG FROM THE LEGENDARY SMOOTH MCGROOVE!!! LET'S GOOOO!!!! Second of all, I'm looking forward to that album! Just from this song alone, I can easily tell it's gonna be AWESOME! Finally, keep doing what you do McGroove! You always make my day and I'm thankful for all you do! Have a great day!
This song could not have resonated with me more. This year feels like a final chance to make a difference in the world with my game or my RUclips content, before I give up and submit to conformity. Thank you, Smooth.
This was, wow. I certainly didn’t know that the highlight of my today would be Smooth McGroove with a guitar! I want to put this song on repeat and just drive along some country road.
And now the real work begins. Dude, this is beautiful! A true "epic bard" quality. So easily you express your heart, and goodness gracious in these End Times, such is very much needed. Help guide the lost, my friend. May it be the last and final cycle of madness for us all.
Having followed your RUclips channel for quite a while now and listening intently to your videos, there is clearly a feeling of spiritual awakening that you’ve shared with us; this song really resonates with those on such a journey. Thank you for sharing your immense gifts with us Smooth McGroove!
If there's 1 million+ Smooth McGroove fans I'm one of them If there's 1 Smooth McGroove fan left, it's me If there's no Smooth McGroove fans left, I've sadly passed Much Love
Every time the chorus comes around I can feel the individual dopamine packets shooting into my brain with each note. I don't know why because I'm not an expert on music but that part is so satisfying to me. Great song!
Man, I've loved your Acapella covers for years but to hear you singing is just mind blowing! This is a beautiful song and your voice is so full of happiness.
I didn't know I needed original Smooth McGroove music in my life, but after this, I'm more than convinced. It's fantastic that you're still around Smooth! Been following your stuff for around 9 or 10 years at this point and have been loving every minute of it. Definitely gonna have to pick up this album 😀
An original Smooth McGroove song with a whole album dropping in a few weeks. This is unbelievably amazing.
Certified Arlo Recommends
And now for today's recommandationnnnnnnnn. Smooth McGroove new Album
@@TheFearware I can unironically see Arlo doing that in a future video.
@@AquaTwist_ same haha
The best kind of "unprecedented. "
Don’t get me wrong. I definitely love your a cappella video game covers, but this is a breath of fresh air and sounds awesome in a whole new way and it’s great that you’re branching out and doing what feels right to you instead of being pigeonholed.
This ^
It's always nice to see youtubers take a break and rediscover the reason they started youtube in the first place.

No cats, baaaahs, or bups. The world keeps on changing.
Great song!
Would be nice with at least a little bit of cat though.
You look like a very happy man. At peace and really loving what he does in life.
Looking forward to the upcoming album!❤️
Incredible vocal range! You may be most widley known for your a capella, but I've always loved your song covers and original voice work. Can't wait for the rest of Flames of Change!
This man is my childhood, i will never forget that
I'm 32 now and there's something about this piece that makes me feel like I'm 17 again. I can't really put my finger on it, but it was magical. "I began my life with a single thought, but who's the one thinking?" is a killer line. I'll be thinking about this for a while.

Oh man I can’t tell you the just pure joy, peace and happiness I get when I see a smoothmcgroove notification.
im very excited to hear the rest of your new album Smooth. Keep on doin what you love with your music
Groovy Man. 😎😎😎😎😎😎
And the world needed him most, he returned again
Return of the King
The king in the North! @@Jabersson
Those runs are absolutely stunning. And your chord choices are just beautiful. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you. I’ll definitely check out the rest of the album.❤
The man, the myth, the legend returns!
YOU FORGOT THE ICON
The chorus is just bliss. Idk how else to express the feeling. It just takes you back to a special place
I've been listening to your acapella's for over a decade and seeing this really made me feel like you're pursuing a path that you've long wanted to tread, a new chapter for your channel so to speak and I hope that this new direction of yours gets all the success and attention that it deserves but more importantly I hope doing it makes you happy.

Holy crap, Smooth. This is wonderful. I was not expecting it to sound like this, and am taken aback in the best way. You have an Incubus sound to your vocals, but it's so unique. The choices here are fresh and different. Just wonderful, man. Thank you for sharing.
He's back? And he's playing acoustic guitar!? WHERE'S MY LIGHTER!
when smooth mcgroove drops a video 30 seconds ago, you watch it immediately. It is known ❤
Mr Smooth I have been occasionally coming to your channel since have been to RUclips. Sometimes, your acapellas made me happy again, when I felt sad. Now, listening to your original song, I’m happy to find so much comfort in your music too! There is truly some essence in your music that is really comforting, especially in the lyrics too! I hope that you will make a lot of music even in the future
Those two A section chords make my brain so happy I don't know how to express it.
Smooth McGroove's streams circa 12013 were such an important part of a critical moment of my life. I met some of my best internet friends on there and I had the experience to hear Smooth just talking about his thoughts and his life philosophy. I owe so much to this bright soul who probably doesn't know I exist. Knowing he's still doing his best brightens my life.
Sounds like I shouldn't have missed out on them
A toast for the most iconic musician on RUclips coming back from his slumber with a bang!
This was oddly beautiful. Don’t get me wrong I love a lot of your previous work but this was just such a vibe, amazing job as always!! 😤💞
Smooth McGroove. my childhood. Y'know, seeing this kinda stuff makes me think that we might be in the best timeline after all.
Who needs normal music when Smooth Drops a new song and it's an ORGINAL!
😁😁😁
?
@gingy2222 I was listening to video game soundtracks (normal music) when this posted. This is now on repeat.
All your musical projects bring me so much joy ❤
This was great, Smooth. Thank you. Wishing you all the best with your new music, the album and live show. You've been nothing but so kind to all of us here. There's a reason we keep sticking around.
And I just wanted say, jokingly wih a glimmer of hope, when is the Smooth McGroove/Super Guitar Bros/Dan Avidan dream team going to happen!?
No matter the different paths you walk on your musical career, we will be here to support you. Thanks for sharing it with us!
I feel like this is the end of an era as we go from video game covers to original songs, but if the result is something beautiful like this, I'm here for it
Y'know, I'm so used to your video game covers that sometimes I forget what an amazing singer you are. And by God, that beard is just as glorious as it was when I first subscribed!
I'm completely addicted to this chorus! What a beautiful song!
Goose bumps on my Goose bumps,Thank you for letting us share this long youtube journey with you friend.
Your acapella covers helped get me through a dark time in my life in 2017 and onward.
Good to hear your voice again!
Well, this answers one of the questions at the back of my mind: what would it sound like if Smooth actually sang a regular song?
Answer: frickin' awesome!
Dear God, this is beautiful. Thank you for your gift of music, smooth. ❤
Thank you for your share over the years man! You made so many people proud. I’ve enjoyed listening and watching you as you grew!
This is so unbelievably beautiful. I've been following you for years and everything you touch has felt so genuine and honest. This is no different. Thank you for sharing this with us all. As a fan I'm truly blessed.
Nice guitar playing, nice cinematography, nice locations, great singing.
1:54 I love the little giggle
I could groove to this. It sounds as smooth as velvet. Full album when?
October 5th!
Such an incredible video. I love this. The symbolism 😍
as good as the covers are, they don't do your voice justice! bravo!
歌声も曲も映像も美しい！
新しいアルバムが待ち遠しいです🎸
Took over a decade of hearing his voice to really understand just how beautiful it is. Legit feels like im discovering a song from the early 2000s as a child all over again
YOUR VOICE!! AND THE LYRICS!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND I CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE WHOLE ALBUM!! I'M SO HAPPY I GET TO SEE/HEAR THIS
idk why I put off listening to this..
I've always appreciated you and your music Smooth. Never change
"Ohhhhh here...I ammm"
😲 GUYS, WE FOUND HIM!!
I'm excited for what you do next, Smooth, but don't force yourself. Enjoy life, have fun, and don't force yourself. The community will stand behind you.
got goosebumps when he started singing ❤
For real. He’s used his voice to pretty much every song and cover but this is the first time i have realized that his voice is actually beyond beautiful… I almost feel bad for not realizing it until now

We really live in a very special timeline! Thanks for enhancing our lifes with your music!❤
IT'S SMOOTH!!!
AND GROOVE!!!
I had never seen this side to you b4... your voice and guitar playing are heavenly... I support this new endeavor
First of all, LET'S FREAKING GOOOO!!! WE GOT A NEW EPIC VIDEO AND UNIQUE SONG FROM THE LEGENDARY SMOOTH MCGROOVE!!! LET'S GOOOO!!!!
Second of all, I'm looking forward to that album! Just from this song alone, I can easily tell it's gonna be AWESOME!
Finally, keep doing what you do McGroove! You always make my day and I'm thankful for all you do! Have a great day!
This sounds like something that would play during a travel or growing up montage in a 90's Disney movie. Very nice.
Every ending is just the beginning of something new.
can't believe the legend is back!!! this guy is part of my childhood
This song could not have resonated with me more. This year feels like a final chance to make a difference in the world with my game or my RUclips content, before I give up and submit to conformity. Thank you, Smooth.
This was, wow. I certainly didn’t know that the highlight of my today would be Smooth McGroove with a guitar! I want to put this song on repeat and just drive along some country road.
I didn't expect this but I like it. I don't really listen to music as often as I should, and this was very refreshing for lack of a better word
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
And now the real work begins. Dude, this is beautiful!
A true "epic bard" quality. So easily you express your heart, and goodness gracious in these End Times, such is very much needed. Help guide the lost, my friend.
May it be the last and final cycle of madness for us all.
What's that thing about when a song gives you chills? This is one of those moments.
Its so beautiful and soulful. Thank you, mister amazing McGroove)
So great to hear when you're doing your own thing brother. Been a fan for years, I'm still here listening.
This is absolutely wonderful! So proud to see how far you’ve come and I can’t wait for the rest of the album! :D
Nature and Smooth McGroove with a new song?! Heck yeah!
An original song?!
Sounds incredible!!!
I can't wait for the rest of the album to release!
Having followed your RUclips channel for quite a while now and listening intently to your videos, there is clearly a feeling of spiritual awakening that you’ve shared with us; this song really resonates with those on such a journey.
Thank you for sharing your immense gifts with us Smooth McGroove!
And so, Smooths new era began
Hope you're doing well McGroove, your music always brings a smile and a bit of nostalgia. Thank you for what you do.
Truly, a legend returns. THIS IS WHAT RUclips IS FOR!!!
If there's 1 million+ Smooth McGroove fans I'm one of them
If there's 1 Smooth McGroove fan left, it's me
If there's no Smooth McGroove fans left, I've sadly passed
Much Love
I'm about half way through the music as I'm typing this, and I want to cry because of how much I'm enjoying this song ❤❤❤
We have too protect this man at all costs
Holy majoly, the King has been cooking in the kitchen and these are some serious slapjacks of amazing right here. Cant wait to get the Album!
Always looked up to you as a musician. I knew everything you do was straight from the heart and now it’s clear your words are too!
Every time the chorus comes around I can feel the individual dopamine packets shooting into my brain with each note. I don't know why because I'm not an expert on music but that part is so satisfying to me. Great song!
Man, I've loved your Acapella covers for years but to hear you singing is just mind blowing! This is a beautiful song and your voice is so full of happiness.
The man is alive!
Who knew you could get such great acoustics in a forest...
... and wherever he goes! 💫🙌💫
Impressed by your range, was expecting more falsetto! I cant believe how full this sounds with just one voice and a guitar
Being used to his acapellas it is surreal to hear his actual singing voice, but hot damn can the man sing!
Been a fan for years, and always will be. Feels like seeing an old friend again.
Awesome stuff, Smooth. You have a really good voice for original songs.
Only a few more hours till it drops. I’ve waited 11 years, but these last few hours are agonizing.
Genuinely can't wait for more instrumentals! Very beautiful
There is some kind of a XTC / Decemberists vibe. I love it !
Gonna walk around town with a look of deep, deep introspection to this one
The most important thing is that you feel your music 😊 looking forward to the album
i am ashamed to admit today is when i discovered you did something other than magical a capella covers
Absolutely amazing
Behold the power of Smooth McGroove after absorbing all of his brothers into his being!
When the world needed him the most he returns
I can't believe that we get to have a whole album from this unit.
I didn't know I needed original Smooth McGroove music in my life, but after this, I'm more than convinced. It's fantastic that you're still around Smooth! Been following your stuff for around 9 or 10 years at this point and have been loving every minute of it. Definitely gonna have to pick up this album 😀
The voice in the back of my head is makin' a full album now?!? Real smooth!
The music i didn't know i needed. Heartfelt.
