My daughter introduced me to Haley and this song. She’s 13. But I’m 52 and tomorrow is promised to no man. I hope she finds this comment one day. I love you so much, Kerry. Discovering this song was such a great experience and I will never forget it. Except that I will. Remember the good times, Care Bear. They were all good for me once I got you and Reya. Daddy loves you infinity X
Thanks everybody --- I've never been featured on NPR like this, I wasn't expecting all this attention. I know they're sending a couple folks this way to the video -- gratitude for following. Hoping to have the LP out by June to share, and some more videos before then too. If you want some secret unreleased tunes- message me through fbook and I'll send some links your way.
hey, i also have a friend who passed away a bit more than a month ago. four days ago it was his bday, he’s 17 now :) ever since his passing, i’ve been looking at the skies and noticing all the pretty patterns of the clouds and i’d think to myself, “he’s making the sky pretty for us”. and i bet your friend is also making the sky pretty for you and everyone else. i see the sky as the dead’s tapestry, it’s different everyday and i think it’s a different person saying hello, greeting their loved ones from above. anyways, i hope you’re feeling well, and that you will have peaceful, happy days from here on out.
"i need to start a garden" is honestly one of the best albums to come out this year, in my opinion... i've probably listened to it every day this past week. thank you haley and all the other people involved in making this little gem..
I have honestly never heard a song as beautiful as this one. I am a music composition minor with an emphasis in jazz studies, but this song quite simply captures something so uniquely spiritual and beautiful, simplicity and complexity entangled together, I wish that songs I hear composed these days always came with this level of ability to ellicit awe from those who hear it. Best of wishes to you, so happy you are finding success and well-deserved recognition ❤❤❤
these "types" of songs are out there, you gotta look... you've got to put forth the effort to listen. if you want to discover a whole other level of music and lyrics, i suggest you put some time into studying (and enjoying!) the great Bruce Cockburn. he is Canada's most treasured musician.
There is a place pointed to by certain performers, Nick Drake, Leslie Feist, José Gonzalez - I think these songs might come from that place. There is so much to enjoy in every bar, it's worth more than the weight of every bass note in gold - you end up with a sense of having travelled.🙌
this song always reminds me of that feeling just after the sun has set, a stillness in the summer and a calm that settles in the tired grass. It is time to go to sleep but that’s ok because today was good and you did your best, the sun will shine tomorrow and you can finally rest with the trust of that thought. Oh how the hours go by so easily when you are blissfully at rest.
Me and my cat have always traveled together. He’s like one of my only friends at the moment and when i listen to this song i can just see me and him driving past the mountains with fresh air blowing in, this song reminds me so much of my little Quinn💙
this is my panic attack song, the first time i ever had a panic attack i listened to this song the whole day after not stopping to listen to the world, just listening to his on re-peat, it my comfort song and i love it, thank you
even if no one will see this comment, I just came here to say that this song is to me the purest expression of love I’ve ever felt through music. I’m very scared of certain bugs and my dad always told me that people would think I’m weird because of that and that I would never find friends or a partner. this song symbolizes to me how he was wrong, and how I am capable and worthy of love regardless. thank you, haley heynderickx
Call me a super fan. It’s like my heart is beating to the music, so surreal. I’ve never heard something that, without fail despite listening to it on loop for about 4 months straight, still brings tears to my eyes out of pure love of the music. Don’t get me wrong, many songs have made me sob many a times hahahh, but this song alone encapsulates just what power music holds to me.
I've had the Most horrible day in my Life today (and i have had my shares) i was sitting in the bathtub and honestly was thinking about to end it all for about 2 hours after i was thinking about that actually since a Long time. Then i came across your Chanel and was listening this Song. And it really calmed me. Thank you
this was me and my best friends' "song" for road trips in freshman and sophomore year of high school. Such a beautiful song and it carries so many sweet memories for me. The vibes are immaculate
This song is every old memory, even the ones you struggle to remember Nostalgia in lyrics So beautiful and scary, didn't think I had as many memories as I do untill I heard this song and started feeling so incredibly Nostalgic
I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and I had a very hard time learning this song… coupled with vocals its extremely difficult. This song is a masterpiece and I listen to it all the time.
Yes, Haley. You do need to start a garden, then maybe all these bugs will hang out there and stop invading your house!... .But for real, beautiful, great song. Gives me goosebumps every time. I love the lyrics, the Spanish guitar and the muted horn on the album version. I hope it becomes a hit. It already is in my book!
this is one of the sweetest songs i have ever heard. its so hard to take care of somebody else, while its so hard to take care of yourself. also its just very good musically. this song makes me cry every time i search this up.
I listened to this song on repeat throughout the whole spring of 2020 with my window open, listening to it rain. It was a lonely year, but this always helped.
No song has a beginning as strong and beautiful at this one. It hasn't left my mind since the moment I first heard it, almost two years ago now. Thank you for sharing it with us
Fuck man, the guitar playing, the singing. Every time I listen to this song it feels like a hug from the warmest energy you've ever felt. Absolutely brilliant.
it's insane how much we as people manage to identify with a song, recognise ourselves in the melody or the lyrics, or the general feel to a song. in the case of this song, I feel that it reaches out and envelops my entire person, and I feel so welcomed and recognised by it. it's an indescribable feeling, and I hope every person gets to experience this feeling at least once in their lifetime. thank you haley.
I don't get how you can have this much innate, immense talent... and just release one album and be like "Yeah I'm done. That's all." To have a gift like that and not keep it going is borderline criminal. She's so good - world-class good.
i'm literally looking at pictures of centipedes and millipedes and i think to myself, wow they are actually cool and not disgusting. like it's nature.. this song makes me appreciate every life
Dear Haley, I appreciate your music so much, I can’t even put into words how this song makes me feel. The number of times I’ve listened to it probably adds up into days. I hope you’re doing well and I hope to hear more from you soon. Thank you.
I seriously CANNOT choose a favourite song by you. It's too hard but this is up there!!!!!!!!!!! I THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SONG AND HAVING THAT VOICE AHHH
Wow, yeah... Same. this song took my on a journey to sweet memories of me and my family, my niece dancing, my nephew running into my arms after haven't seeing him a while, my dad dancing at his 60th birthday party, and my Abuela smiling on her 89th! Times I was saved from a car accident by seconds, times i got spontaneous checks in the mail I wasn't expecting... Pure gratitude for life and all of its beautiful mysteries. Thank you Haley for this song
A simply beautiful composition. Her playing is a steady comforting presence, an inviting shoulder to lean on, yet it's distant, it feels longing for a closenes and warmth that we are to closed to offer. Her voice is unique and haunting in an almost familiar way. It's playful in moments, and reflects of deep and personal conversations with old friends that the winds of time have long carried away into faint echos in our memories, and is uniquly vulnerable and uneasy in an almost existential way, it's so effective and georgous. The lyrics are interesting, they feel intimate and personal and kinda introspective and a bit silly in a sad way. They have an almost melancholic feel yet are trying to humor us, it's a bittersweet smile towards a partner, that says I'm right here, yet it feels like theres a canyon between us.
Just happened to hear her play in Portland. Her voice is one we need in these fast times. Delicate, natural, full of insight delivered just above a whisper--the way the woods and waters deliver their wisdom too. Thank you 🙏
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago playing in a bubble tea shop. I've listened to it on repeat for two days straight. It's such a beautiful piece of music. The album recording with the brass added in is so well done. And the melody flows so well. Amazing work.
Please never abandon music, I love all your stuff, the songs you create are always so beautiful and unique and tentatively, naturally create this universe of atmosphere that totally envelops me when I listen to your stuff.
"And there's a centipede Naked in your bedroom Oh and you swear to God The fucker's out to get you And I digress 'Cause I must make you the perfect morning I try my best To scoop the slugger out the window And there's a praying mantis Prancing on your bathtub And you swear it's a priest From a past life out to getcha And I digress 'Cause I must make you the perfect evening I try my best To put the priest inside a jam jar And there's a millipede Angry on your carpet Oh and I must admit He's staring with a vengeance Oh and I digress 'Cause I must make you the perfect morning And I try my best To prove that nothing's out to get you To prove that nothing's out to get you"
You are my new favorite artist. Ever since I stumbled upon your music a few days ago, I have been scouring RU-vid for every little nugget of your sonic gold.
woooow you are just amazing, your voice and your fingerpicking and omg, i've been listening to this song for the las few months because a friend i've met in amsterdam sent me a link, it was so pleasent and nice to ride my bike on the country side listening to this beautiful song. Now i'm back in Argentina, and i just close my eyes and press play and i can see everything like a movie, thank you for your music, i just discovered your face now, so, nice to meet you and thank you again, your songs are like butterflies.
I listen to this version the most. It’s a lovely, melodic song with sweet lyrics that could be interpreted so many ways. I chose to make my personal vision one of domestic love and devotion.
we were just about to name our band bug collector so we searched it to see if anyone had used it yet- this is some of the best music ive ever heard and i feel like i remember discovering it distantly
