As cheesy as it sounds, listening to his music just makes me want to give him a hug. to let him know what a great talent he is and that he's not alone in his melancholia.
Yeah seeing him live wants you to give him a big hug too. And his guitar playing with his quick clean chord changes, he was so amazing but largely unknown.
