This channel reminds of when I was 18 years old, bright eyed and bushy tailed I traveled to a small town in Utah with the promise of meeting the girl of my dreams (who I had met on myspace) The first night I was there she took me to see her local open mic at a little record store. Every single act that came on stage had me feeling the same exact way that all the uploads on this channel makes me feel. Some of the most magnificent talent resides in the smallest corners of this earth. You'd probably be surprised yourself if you take a chance and see where the road leads. Years later the relationship didn't pan out the way I had hoped but I know my life would be completely different had I not taken that chance and landed in a little town called Cedar City. Life is strange and unexpected and I wouldn't change a single thing for all the money in the world. If your ever in that position where your not sure or afraid to take a risk I urge you to just do it. Don't think, Experiences can have a drastic effect on your path through life and even though it didn't turn out the way I had expected, I will forever be grateful to her for showing me this little slice of life. Gems on VHS couldn't be a more fitting name.

This is really becoming my favorite youtube channel.

This man touches something in me I thought was long dead.

Curved brimmed hat boy pulling his damned heart across those strings

This song speaks to me on a spiritual level

Truly an instant classic

Easily the best music channel on the interwebs... keep em coming Anthony 👌🏻

Max, you have Bob Dylan running through your veins. So good! Love your voice and guitar playing.

I’ve been listening to Max a lot lately and I really like these solo acoustic performances a lot more than the recorded tracks. Not that the others are bad, these are just fantastic.

If Jimmy Fallon and Shakey Graves had a son

Thanks gems. Wouldn't find half of what you've shown me. And great song man...

Holy heck, what a fantastic guitarist.

Well you can call me Joe It's the lonesome sound of shame Tattooed long ago Are the letters of my name And I've done my time You know I worked the oil rig And all these scars of mine Ain't no way to keep And off cocaine was coffee And pain turned to cash Then I'd be rich and respectable I wouldn't run from the past. Well on the ocean floor Are the dollars made of sand I hitchhike to the shore And go diving when I can The treasures i might find I know are lost and found And I can't think of a friend of mine That'll let me hang around And off cocaine was coffee And pain turned to cash Then I'd be rich and respectable I wouldn't run from the past.

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard to date

GemsonVHS have been blessing us with amazing artists for years now. Thank you guys for all that you do.

Dear Max this is by far my favorite song of 2018/19 . you keep doing it dude , because its something special and i wish you knew how much this song blew me away the first time i heard it

I'm going to see Max G at Red River Folk Fest on 9.21. I'm very new to his music but already my son and I are fans! Amazingly talented!

You know I worked the oil rigs too. Out on the Bakken Shale. I don't miss you, North Dakota. Great song...

I have many favourite songs of Max, but this is definitely in my top 5. Beautiful performance too.

This is an easy 10/10 song. Currently obsessed with this tune, thanks Gems and Max.

Love you Max, this is such a cool spot to film!

This is a really great song. Keep writing, keep singing buddy.

I love this song and I love the fact this song has zero thumbdowns , only good people listening this channel. Keep it real GemsOnVhs. Love you guys ))

Perfect setting, perfect song, makes one think of a different time, maybe better, maybe worse. Gems on VHS thank you. If you ever get shakey graves on here I’ll die happy.

Great songs sometimes hide but they always get found well done again gems

This released something inside me that’s been building up for years. Half a handle deep and missing her a lot tonight. I love you and miss you more than you could ever understand

Every artist I’ve listened to I really enjoy. I’m so glad I found great music. I really thank this Channel

beautiful

great song

Max Gomez I hope you go far.....but if you ever performed on Jimmy Fallon the universe would implode.

A gift. Thanks

So good!!!

Smile Joe. You've got a good thing going on.

The sound from recording sounds great on this one !

Digging the melody finger picking shapes. Doesn't hurt being a powerful poet.

Gems on VHS is the best thing to happen to music in the decade

This song is about Joe from "You."

Does anyone have a tab for this song please? I can't find anything... :-(

Where was this filmed? MAX GOMEZ, JOE WEST & ELIZABETH SCARINZI Friday, Dec. 13, 2019 James Little Theater, 1060 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe, NM

Does anyone have any tabs for this by chance??

Fucking hell. 👏

Two Gems videos in a week? What is it, Christmas already?

Sounds even better than the studio version

This song hits so different in the soul, it almost brings me too tears, and I can't put a finger on why😥

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Someone’s oughta write a tab for this

Anyone got lyrics? I don't know what he says after "and all these scars of mine" Much appreciated

@4:08 when he smiled he looked just like Jim Fallon.

"if cocaine was coffee and if pain turned into cash, then I'd be rich and respectable and I wouldn't run from the past." nice.

Getting some Shakey Graves vibes here

How good is Max? No need for answers folks.... rhetorical question here...!!

I need the chords

I here some Dave Mathews in his tone.

Sorry with a song mute sessions

Max Gomez is Shakey Graves' relative. Change my mind........

Maxwell

Mike damone fast times

Looks like a younger version of the bad guy from No country for old men

Need benjamin tod and max to colab

Not gonna lie. I’ve given up trying to play this on guitar. Haha his picking style is tough

for a second there I thought it was Jimmy Fallon

he looks like spencer from icarly. mad respect doe 🥺

22 years clean just the pot thats gods medicine though

joe mama

Worse or better

Jimmy Fallon look alike!
