Simple

Simple

No drums, no bass,
No style, nice easy pace,
Simple

Same chords, different order,
Nothing to declare at the border,
Simple

Same cut, same chase,
Same old shoes, same old face,
Simple
Simple

Same faults, same flaws,
Do re mi, and that's all,
Simple
Simple

I've got everything I need
I've got everything I need
I've got everything I need
And more...

Glass of wine, laugh at a joke,
A good time down the line, if it ain't brke,
Simple
Simple

Acoustic guitar, and a kiss on the cheek,
Edited highlights of the week,
Simple
Simple


Food, clothing, shelter,
Simple
Simple

Life, the universe and everything,
Simple
Simple

We've got everything we need
We've got everything we need
We've got everything we need
And more...

No symbol, no logo, no product placement,
No market, no how, no no no no no no no,
Simple

No enticing jiggerycakery,
No icing from the bakery,
Simple
Simple

One, two, three,
Simple
Simple

Life, the universe and everything,
Simple
Simple

We've got everything we need
We've got everything we need
We've got everything we need
And more...

the lyrics make this song a lot of fun.

The echoes in the background are a bit annoying, the song could use a better chorus. "we've got everything we need" is like a pre-chorus that leads to nothing...
I love Bills comments before putting this song on, and I like, getting 8 from me {#Music}
Could be a miracle for a beginner, probably not for a professional musician. This one only rates a 2.

Hmmm, I don't like it, but it is 100 times better than that Blue Sky Thinking song!

This is a very interesting fellow. He covers a range such as I've not heard from an acoustic performer. Bring him back over to Ireland soon!
 
Let's just send him to Ireland for good... No wait, I like Ireland.  Can we just simply send him away?

Except that this isn't Ben Harper.


Time to retire this, Bill.  Not makin' the cut.

Let's see, how to say this in a non negative, relatively pleasant way ??? Ummmmmmm, this is really, well, not good.
He has everything he needs...
I have a mute button...{#Puke}

Well, this is the 2nd Nick Harper song I've heard now, and I gotta say, I REALLY don't care for his music.
 
As heard from his father's music- "I really don't dig his scene"

moi j'aime bien, la voix est bonne, la rythmique est sympa, c'est gai...
 
Love it!

Simple Simon met the pie man going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the pie man:-
"UUUHHHH..."
Jesus Toast does not approve
keep it
This song almost makes Dengue Fever sound pleasant by comparison.  {#Puke}
{#Eh}

those weird backup singers are making me feel all creepy... and not in a nice way.

This one is so out of the ordinary, I don't quite know how to react. 
It is rather compelling, though I have to say I like Phish's Simple better.
 

You mean this was a cover of something? yikes

Hmmmm asymmetrical,,,,not so simple
Gee, I kinda like this. I guess I'm in the minority for now.
Well, that was irritating.
so simple - rate as a 2

hello overplayed!

this dude sounds too smart for his own good; not a bad tune but he could use a weekend pal-ing around with Ray Davies; would do wonders for his lexical ambitions

Odd.  Don't always like his voice.  But still, I don't hate it.  Compelling to listen to.  Can't decide.
 
I've decided now.  The adjective that was eluding me was obnoxious

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!  My ears are bleeding!!!  {#Stop}

Different, unique, fun - simple! {#Daisy}
I've never heard anything like this before.. amazing stuff! Bring on more Nick Harper!!!
The lyrics are clever, the guitar playing is sublime, added effects are minimalist but impeccable, and the vocals are superb.

Simply brilliant!
I LOVE this song! It IS very different and shows his vocal range off. More please!

Simple?  Yes.  Annoying?  No question.
Another new one? Gorsh.
