Nick Johnston - Child of Bliss 

Thank you guys for listening over the years. You're all truly wonderful

I’m speechless to the reaction to this song. I can’t thank you all enough for taking the time to listen. Very excited about releasing more off this record soon. I’m blown away by everyone’s kindness ❤

Johnston is in my opinion, one of the very few modern guitarists whose melodic orchestrations always come before the chops. This young man's music takes me places and I thank him for it.

Hi Nick, back in 2016 I was extremely depressed (still working on it) and I remember waking up in the basement at my parent's, it was around 1 in the afternoon and I grabbed my phone looking for something to listen to. Since the room was underground, there was only a very small window and only very little sunlight shining through. I could hear my dad cutting the grass outside and my mom on the phone upstairs. The kind of stuff that makes you feel guilty for being depressed and staying in bed so late... the sunshine, the ones around you being proactive, the thought of another day wasted feeling horrible... Back then I was just starting to get into guitar and somehow I stumbled upon your album ''Remarkably Human'' on Spotify. I liked the art so I clicked on it and played the first track. The first track blends perfectly into the second one and so on, I couldn't really tell how long I had been there and how deep into the album I was. I felt a kind of relief, a kind of light heartedness... it could've been hope? it felt good. I was so emotional laying in that bed, in the dark. I hadn't felt anything like that in years. I was 23 at the time. I stayed in bed for another 2 hours listening to the album. That album marked me, it brings me back to that feeling every time I listen to it. Now at 30 years old, I still struggle, but differently, and this song, on this rainy day made me feel like how remarkably human made me feel back in 2016, exactly when I needed it. I don't know what it is but I just want to thank you for your music and how it makes me feel, it is unexplainable. It feels so good to feel that way again, especially today. Thanks Nick. Sincerely, -A fan that'll last a lifetime. PS: That guitar that looks like its made of ice with the dark neck... absolutely incredible.

Um dos meus guitarristas favoritos!!!! NJ, o Brasil te ama 🥰

Saw your solo on slow dancing with Mike Dawes and I was like, who is this wizard? One of the few reasons I like youtube is learning about musicians like you, Jack Thammarat, Alex Hutchins, Mike Dawes, etc..... So much amazing playing to be found that needs the respect it deserves.

I've been listening to you since I fell in love with Remarkably Human, and I gotta say Nick you never disappoint. Thanks for the awesome music!

There it is, this is the Nick Johnston i fell in love with! Great song!

LIKE ALWAYS,,AMAZING .COMO TO PORTUGAL

Piece of art. One step beyond. Congratulations! And thanks for the feelings!

One of the most underrated Guitarists, Songwriters and Musicians. Each peace is beautiful art.

nice when guitar music has melody........... Music without melody is like a body without a heart ❤

IMO the best guitarist in the world 😎🎸 cracking tune too

Hi Nick ; I’ll be honest , I had never heard your music before today - this track - and I’m blown away ; just loving this ; Epic Piano intro Spanish guitar drawing us in ; then breaking out with the Schecter , and how it just keeps building … its a really a beautiful composition . You are on my radar from this day on ; and now one of my main guitar influences !!!

You are a wonderful musician. Thank you for sharing your talent with us

I love this song man. The chord/key changes around the same revolving notes is brilliant. ❤

What an absolute masterpiece. Your music is just a joy to listen to Nick.

You are such a pleasure to listen to! Very tasteful playing

you got some nice unusual dark note choices in your work mate , just discovered awesome

Some strong remarkably human vibes going on here, I love it! Nick is one of the hardest working, most talented and one of the all round nicest guys you'll ever meet. You have my eternal gratitude and support for the masterpieces that you share with us all. Cant wait to buy the new album and to catch you on tour!! Nick has kindly signed each and every album for me after shows, and I always buy all of your merch too!

Thomas lang !!

My daughter just passed away from cancer. She left eight children and a husband who loved her dearly. They are all bumping into walls. She was my child of bliss.

Great song and great guitar ❤

Hi Nick, sincerely this was the first time I've stumbled upon your music; it was a revelation for me; this song I have found it is "remarkably" a poem; I have finally found the guitarist I wanna become; I would be honored and humble to have the opportunity of you to be my teacher; I love how you play with the rake, harmonics, liquid legato and harmony; pure inspiration to me. Thanks

so happy to hear some new stuff truly inspiring, i feel i hear a john carpenters escape from new york theme in the piano intro .. super cool keep doing your thing the phrasings you use are amazing

Finally the Nick Johnston we love has come back! A Remarkably Human like track!

Nick, I have to say, this is probably the best thing you've ever done!

the most tasteful and musical shredder. love your sweet music man. congrats

I can't find the Words to describe How Amazing is this New Song!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Instrumental music just as I like it - melodic, unpredictable with surprising elements, well executed , at the end you do not even realise it was instrumental with no vocals ;) - AWESOME!

Love your music and really enjoy your signature guitar (may I one day play well enough to do it justice)

Bro that solooo You still have it. Thanks for sharing the colours inside your mind. Peace among worlds.

The master of melody. The best part about your music has always been the fact these would be songs that can easily be done with vocals.. Your ridiculous guitar playing had always just been the icing on the cake which is your compositions. Can't wait!!

A masterpiece. This has the flavor of Nick Johnston's music with a great deal of originality. Can't wait to hear the album!

Master peace

What hole have I been living in that I just found this guy…dear Lord you are insane what a player…like the heroes of old - guys like this don’t exist anymore

SUPER!!!

Nice song with a huge solo. Congrats

God has it been 10 years already?!? My buddy got you to sign one of your merch shirts with croms art on it, still hanging on my wall as I missed that show. I hope to see you one day up in Vancouver soon!

Can't wait for the whole album, this is so visionary! God bless you, Nick)

You are the best songwritter at the moment in the world of guitar heroes

That's some nice progressions right there! I was trying to anticipate it and you threw me off a few times! Cool song!

Wowww Nick , Amazing son , I can feel the care that has gone into the choice of each note...

Yesss the New Album is finally on its way! Looking forward to meeting up at another clinic (if theres any haha) in Singapore hahahaha Congrats Nick! Always a banger! 🤘🎸

FUCK the solo at the end has been in my damn head for hours now. absolutely mind boggling. nick you're a magician, that's the only word that describes it

Bravo!

Que belleza señor! increíble la sensibilidad de esta pista y su juego, el arreglo cromático me robó una lágrima, toca el corazón, Abrazo desde Argentina y muchas gracias!

Awsome!I got your guitar!! Lefty it's f@#$%nn amazing sounding thank you😎

Since Remarkably Human we have been thrust into an ongoing saga that actually plays out unnoticed in your everyday life. Each album is another chapter in this epic SUITE based in theme and variation. Well done, Nick. You've created an entire aesthetic with these collective sounds. Thanks man!

wow...

This melody lifts my very soul, so woderful i'm out of words..!🙏

Awesome track!

There goes my weekend.

Nick Johnston the GREAT

Schecter Nick Johnston strat is the best strat ever made. I haven’t tried the PT yet. Love your music Nick been a fan since the first album. this new song is insane no cap your tone your phrasing Jesus it’s really awesome. The way you write guitar music just hits different.

the chorus is "chicken skin" level 😍 very filmic composition with the addictive dark moment of the powerful and progressive solo. congrats!

Outrageous Nick. Can't wait for this album so it can go on permanent rotation with all the others. Incredible.

Great.👍

Nick if you read this i want you to know you inspire me as a musician and i thank you for that. Support from MI in the USA

The sound that came from your fingers are Absolutely amazing tone, Nice arrangement music, half step feeling So Good to me, keep it Up brother.

that was amazing ❤ you are truly an amazing musician

Amazing

First time i heard this guy play and I like how the song builds. Not knowing he played heavy too made each step up a suprise

Magnífico, explendido, estupendo mago da guitarra.

Awesome video of You 🎉

Amazing idea

I don't mean this in a crude way but.... This song is fucking beautiful! The arrangement so well thought out from that delicate and gravitational intro to the introduction of the acoustic then slightly dirty electric guitar to full on high gain solo with teeth! Nick Johnston is a cut way above other players. Just amazing...

one of the finest musicians ever

I only discovered you last week. This is marvelous. Instant inspiration, I’m getting the guitar out!

Back with a vengence bro. Love it

YES

The best guitarist!!!!!

I love this song man.

That music give me Goosebumps. Badass guitar too 👌

Melodius...

As always, Nick knocks it out of the park. Fantastic! The emotions wrapped in this song are felt. Love it!

There are no words to describe how good this is. Thank you for all your music Nick.

Nice music

You've been one of my favorites since I discovered your music years ago. Never stop playing!!

I see the next iconic guitar Solo, every guitarist wants to play :)

Great composing, arranging, and guitarwork. Letting out the inner *Tekrø* @ 4:14. Love it!

Awesome Nick 🙏🎸🔥👊❤

Your music is wonderful! Your compositions are so much more than simply riff or loop based. Masterpieces! Wide Eyes in the Dark was my soundtrack for 2020 and 2021. Can't wait for the new album!

Masterpiece. Thanks for so beatifull music!!!!❤

Amazing!! ❤

Truly amazing how you can immediately hear it's Nick Johnston although it doesn't even start with guitar... Great Song!

Great sir

The brass and woodwinds really adds a depth to this. Very melodic! Great composition!

Amazing new tune that sounds like a part two off of Remarkably Human, one of my favorite albums of all time. Beautiful tone, piano parts and those melodies and artificial harmony bends... sublime! But why is there a short moment of all black at 4:43? LOL. Love the new album, sir. Greetings from Finland!

OMG this is awesome

Next level wow!! Bravo!!!!

I've never been a fan of instrumental music, much less guitar-based music, as I've always felt like it was less about musicality and more about showing off and writing without substance. For a while the only people I listened to that made strictly instrumental guitar music that I enjoyed were people like Javier Reyes and David Maxim Micic. Recently, however I have discovered Nick Johnston and he's quickly climbed on top of my instrumental player list. There is so much beauty in the restraint he shows when playing guitar and just composing in general. Love from Québec! I'll definitely try to catch one of your clinics if you come nearby!
