      He has an incredible gift for words. And the duality of meanings here... the way it could be about a person, or maybe the inanimate object has been with him so long that it has a personality to him. We all have that thing we talk to when we're alone. We ask it the rhetorical questions we don't ask to anyone else. And it sounds like he sat down and wrote a song to thank his friend who has always been there. And honestly, I think his somewhat gruff voice, imperfect, makes it so much better and real.

    I met Jeff outside of God of Carnage in 2011. I was walking down the street and saw the crowd of people waiting for autographs, I scooped a playbill up while crossing the street and walked right up to him, as he signed it I said, “you’re best actor working today” he looked up at me and very heartfelt said, “thank you so much”. I’ll never forget that day. He’s a true artist and a kind soul.

      When your daily relationship with your friends is "he's just that nice guy that works over on that production line..." it goes through an incredible change when this kind of opportunity occurs. In one moment they stop and gape at "who is this guy???" It is soooo much fun and so rewarding to surprise your friends with that unknown talent. Music and musicianship is one thing that can be so rewarding regardless of your age. I started playing clarinet & sax in a dixieland group when I was about 7 or 8 and singing when I was a bit older. Most of the people I knew had no idea. It doesn't have to be on a large stage like Jeff was on but to your unsuspecting friends it's very startling and a whole lot of fun!! Music just knows no limits.

    Kelly made my eyes water with every performance on her American Idol run. To play her a song and get that reaction is priceless. Go Jeff.

    WOW...I had no idea he could even play the guitar. He's really good and I love his mellow chilled out personality.

    Not sure how or why this showed up in my feed, but I'm truly glad it did. What a wonderful surprise. Great job, Jeff!

    I had to send this song to my neighbor because he’s always in his garage sitting in a rocker playing his guitar and he loves it. He enjoys it so much, so thank you Jeff Daniels thank you Kelly Clarkson I know he’s going to enjoy this song. God bless you guys.

    The look on Kelly's face says it all. Such an awesome actor and human being.
