"I can’t help but wonder about the inspiration for this sorrowful body of work. My hope is that, as it is now a snapshot of time, there is a sense of relief and pride in the culmination of this accomplishment. Not all-great art is happy and shiny, it’s not all for the masses, but it moved the soul and touches the heart. I think this has been achieved and even a little surprised myself at how much I enjoyed it. Good job Gregg, I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll do next. Wow."

"It’s surprisingly not a retro-goth act but the work of singer-songwriter Gregg Padula. His debut album “One Year Wasted” is a collection of introspective, Dylan-esque heartfelt songs available from CD Baby. All you guys know I’m a sucker for one man and his guitar on a bare stage, and I imagine live you would hear a pin drop!!! A great songsmith! I’m impressed."

For real!? That's great?..Well, I wouldn't be so sure about not wanting to leave but I guess if you're into beautiful nature, warm ambiance and cool chicks like me(among other awesome things Costa Rica has), then you're right, I would be afraid too..
