This is such a hauntingly beautiful song.... there now seems a much darker meaning in it today... RIP... you were a gift for your short 50 years..... RIP.....
Rest In Peace I think we're all born with some kind of talent and a lot depends on the circumstances we're thrust into; whether we're recognized and supported - or in need of a paycheck - mostly dictates our choice to develop whatever talent(s) we possess. But true artistry is a rare thing. Its host has no choice but to bear it out. My guess is that's Mother Nature's way of ensuring at least some semblance of security for the human race. We're not meant to travel to the outer reaches. We need to tend hearth, feed ourselves, procreate, stake our claim in the concrete. Neal Casal lived in a more liminal space, an in-between landscape which he described through song. I imagine him as Major Tom, floating in a most peculiar way and yet making the wondrous sound decipherable. What an enormous responsibility he carried, that heavy and remarkable gift. And how lucky we were to hear it.
Just discovering this man’s heart touching song “Too Much To Ask” and music, I’m sorry to say I’ve never heard of him till now. When I saw it trending online about his passing due to suicide. I have recently been feeling down and raveling with deep sadness along with grief, and feeling somewhat like I don’t belong in this world...😔💔😢 However, Rest In Peace to Neal, it’s sad at times how people are discovered after they’ve left this world. Seems like he left too soon but this song here is getting me through a low period currently, if I could tell him thank you I would, perhaps he knows...✨
There is only one Neal Casal, and man am I lucky to be alive in his ongoing and prolific tenure as one of America’s greatest singer songwriters. Love & Light, Always, Neal ✌🏼❤️🌞🦉
I abused drugs and alcohol in my youth, my kids did none because I told them all about it by age 11. R.I.P. Neal. Cold Roses is one of my all time favs.
Thanks for being a musical genius! You were such an amazing asset to so many musicians in the studio and I was such a fan! RIP my friend! See you in another realm.
So beautiful, such a great version … and a very eerily introspective look into his mind. Hope you're resting now, Neal. We'll miss you. I'm sure there was so much more great music waiting to be written.
Super Sad..i didn't really know of him too well..saw him play on a couple videos from Terrapin Crossings. He was a real talent..sorry to hear he was apparently hurting so much and not many knew..😔
Neal Casal's art work will be displayed at Art & Sound in Palm Springs April 9 and April 16, 2015 with Dj Poet spinning. The works of many other artists such as Brandon Boyd, Andy Dick, Steven Adler, The Blakhat, Moby, Risk, EMEK, Bobby Alt and many more...
There is so much quality music out there that most people will never hear. But I guess I like it that way! It kind of makes it feel more like "my music". The only think I hate is that so much of this type of music that I love is so west coast based. I wish I had more opportunities to see folks like this live. Or even local unkowns who play the singer/songwriter or acoustic or jam band type stuff. I know that sounds odd to say about the state that houses Hollyweird, but that's where most of it is. The east coast to me is very pop based. Or country based might be a better description these dates. Oh - wait..............I forgot, they are one in the same now, which is a whole other subject.
Really really pathetic that lastic auto tuned thump thumb shit gets millions of views and these hidden gems are barely glanced at. Or maybe, just maybe it's not a bad thing in the greater scheme of things
This world has nothing to offer my friends, if you are depressed, don't commit suicide, go to Jesus Christ and He will give you peace that surpasses all understanding. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
This is such a hauntingly beautiful song.... there now seems a much darker meaning in it today... RIP... you were a gift for your short 50 years..... RIP.....
Melissa Paige Leigh the lyrics do take on another perspective now. May Neal rest in peace.
Melissa Paige Leigh when he says I wont be around I got chills
It's heartbreaking that someone who brought this kind of beauty into the world could be so sad. 😪💔
RIP Neal! Thank you for the music!
We'll all be forgotten in time. However I'll never forget Neal
Another amazing talent the world has lost. RIP, Neal Casal!
Neal.....brother, rest easy. Your music will forever be loved....
Rest In Peace

Yes. He truly was such a special, rare bird... I'm finding this to be an indescribable loss...
My heart is with you and his and him.
💗💕💓💔💔
Kate, a beautiful piece of writing, a fitting tribute to Neal.
Rest in peace, Mr. Casal. You were a diamond.
Probably the best, most heartfelt and beautiful acoustic guitar song I have ever heard... Rest in Peace Neal Casal... What a talent.
I love you forever, Neal. My life is just not the same without you.
Can't stop listening ....... and crying. Miss you Neal ❤
This is arresting and emotional to see. I hope his soul is at peace.

Neal continued to improve as a musician. This vocal performance is far beyond the studio version from years earlier
this guy is a gem!
I abused drugs and alcohol in my youth, my kids did none because I told them all about it by age 11. R.I.P. Neal. Cold Roses is one of my all time favs.

Really really pathetic that lastic auto tuned thump thumb shit gets millions of views and these hidden gems are barely glanced at. Or maybe, just maybe it's not a bad thing in the greater scheme of things
sad. great musician. depression is real.
yo aman
どうか安らかに。謹んでご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。
Who is singing with Neal?
angie mckenna
Patrick Haugh this is actually Lauren Barth singing here with Neal. (Angie McKenna did backup vocals/harmonies on original recordings.)
Rip Neal. Such a shame.
I love you Neal. We'll meet some day, and play music together for eternity.
💔
This world has nothing to offer my friends, if you are depressed, don't commit suicide, go to Jesus Christ and He will give you peace that surpasses all understanding. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Can't listen 2 1 CRB tune.
Sickening how much praise is heaped upon those who throw their life back in God's face.
Wow.... You sir are very heartless..
What's that part about god will never give you more than you can handle? Guess THAT'S wrong. He didn't ask for this. Have some EMPATHY, brother!
Fuck yourself
I pray you never find yourself there..or someone you love.
Go fuck yourself you worthless piece of shit
