Great musical artist.

Since most on this forum are american, you may not have heard about him, since im not sure if he has broken the US yet, his name is Newton Faulkner, the man is a genius and can do some wicked thigs with a guitar (really, its a magical thing in his hands!) i really suggest you check him out, he has the most amazing voice too !

(and he has ginger dreadlocks, i mean, how cool is that ! )

the last is one of my personal faves.

the man doesnt have any backup band in these songs as far as i know, he does the percussion and everything with his guitar and his lyrics are really great ! i suggest you check him out, i guess its a sort of mellow laid back (you might call it a bit countryish) sounds. and i think the man is a legend !

People should smile more
I'm not saying there's nothing to cry for
but you've got
Everything laid out for you
Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and start another war
I can't change the world
Cos tryin' to make a difference makes things worse
It's just an observation I can't ignore
That people could smile more

from his song -- people should smile more, great lyrics !

Not bad, not bad at all! Different vocal rhythms then you are used to hearing in this kind of music. Like his guitar work too. I love the chorus on the 2nd song. Although I can't view the first one since I'm not from the same country?
