Lukas Graham - 7 Years - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover By James Bartholomew 

Follow your heart, find the truth. don't let grey hair depart you from roots. If you work at a desk, or wear some boots, Know theres some always there for you. I'll hold your hand, I'll hold your smile and give back some youth. The waters get rough, but only the sky stays blue. Stars arise even after sunshine is through. For anyone who doesn't love themselves, know, I love you times two. Disguised as lite, hiding in plain site for you. Balance is underneath. Not the seed. But root. Knowledge is nothing without the wisdom to guide you through.

This one was highly requested, especially after posting a short cover on instagram, so here's my arrangement of 7 Years :)

Dang this song brings nostalgia

wow, this is my first time listening to this cover. ironic how this video was made 7 years ago, this is beautiful by the way

This is one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. I love this cover! 🤩Reminds me of my memories…

Simply beautiful, as always

I’m starting to get the hang of it, can’t wait till I can make it sound like this

I watched it back then in 2016. It's been 7 years now...and still I am not over this song. Hoping to see this comment again after 7 years!

ya dude, your music is, how do i put it. when you hear it you stop whatever your doing, it draws you in and changes your mood. now that's damn good music man.

Sounds excellentJames!

That's talent right there

You add so much emotion into a lot of your music I do say it's a very quite a impressive my music tastes are reasonably old schools 60s 70s 80s but some of the new music you do do is actually really good I may only be 18 at the moment and doing my degree and mechanical engineering working on cars as my hobby as well as playing music James keep up the good work you have inspired me to do more Fingerstyle music

I CANNOT all his videos are so GREAT i cannot BREATHE

gua nggak bisa giitar tapi seneng banget dengernya apalagi yg accuistik bokin hati tenang dan pikiran melayang..

Life is a birdsong ❤

Soothing. I feel nostalgic

This is now definitely my favorite cover from you. I like this song so much and you arranged it perfectly, just like it should be arranged. Well done!

Listen from 38-48 sec There is one very unique note at 43 that is almost flat sounding but it makes for a great transitional note. Love the flavor.

You sir are talented you deserve more recognition man. Keep up the good work!

using simple codes,,but the sound is interesting..its very clear..nice recording

I like this so much plus I also love your new hair :) haha

HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW IS THIS SO GOOD?!?!!

You sir, have earned a new subscriber. Love your arrangements, very spot on and very relaxing to listen to with some good headphones.

Once I was seven years old my momma told me Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once I was seven years old It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker By eleven, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely Once I was eleven years old I always had that dream like my daddy before me So I started writing songs, I started writing stories Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me Cause only those I really love will ever really know me Once I was 20 years old, my story got told Before the morning sun, when life was lonely Once I was 20 years old (Lukas Graham!!!) I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major I got my boys with me at least those in favor And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later Once I was 20 years old, my story got told I was writing about everything I saw before me Once I was 20 years old Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming Soon we'll be 30 years old I'm still learning about life My woman brought children for me So I can sing them all my songs And I can tell them stories Most of my boys are with me Some are still out seeking glory And some I had to leave behind My brother I'm still sorry Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61 Remember life and then your life becomes a better one I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month (x2) Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me Soon I'll be 60 years old Once I was seven years old my momma told me Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once I was seven years old Once I was seven years old
