I don’t think I will ever stop listening to this song. It’s been over 6 years listening to Jake now and dragon has remained such an important piece in my life. It helps me relax and also stay motivated at the same time. Thanks Jake

I agree with you on this! I first heard this song in high school as part of an assignment. The video was in an article about ukuleles. I how to listen to it over and over again, not wanting to click the next Arrow to answer the questions about the article. But I had to. I tried to remember the title, but all I could remember was the word dragon. 3 years later, here I am and I found the video. I now have my own ukulele and I'm learning how to play, and once I get all of that down, I'm going to master this song. I'm so glad there are other people who found solace in this song. This is a very well composed piece of wonderfulness, and I'm so happy that I came across this video when I did. I was having a stressful day, and it was honestly what put me at ease.

My Dad was stationed at Schofield when I was 7-9 years old in the late 1970's. Man, what an idyllic childhood. Going to a beach almost EVERY Saturday and Sunday, my 4th grade class field trip was flying on Aloha Airlines to Hawa'ii for a week, walking into the caldera of the most active vent of the most active volcano on Earth... ...and Billy Strings introduced me to this cat. This music sounds like what a Hawaiian music box with a hula girl in a grass skirt standing atop with a ukelele in her hands would sound like when wound up and opened. How magical!

The first time I ever saw this video, I was about to graduate high school. Ever since, I've had it locked in my mind and have aspired to play this song one day. I forgot the name of the video but found it again. Nearly three years later, I've finally gotten my life figured out and managed to buy a ukulele! So now I've finally started the journey of learning the uke so I can finally meet my goal of playing this masterpiece!! I can't wait for the day that I'm finally able to play this for my friends.

I first heard of him here on KZfaq some years ago while watching his rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". It was an honor to see him (and his mates) in person. If there was ever an perfect example of someone being born to be a musician, he's it. He plays the ukulele like it's an extention of his body. Bravo, Jake...BRAVO!

I really love listening to you without all the studio musicians. There is something so heartfelt and intimate about your playing with only your own chords to back you up when you riff.
