@erin707

Thank you :)

[farnsiland]

Well done - great stuff - I have been following your channel for a few months - particularly love the Patty Griffin cover - aber du bist auch sehr gut - tolllllllll

[thelastpolka1]

Your voice and your playing are wonderful. Definitely going to watch more of your videos!

[Mindthink1]

Wow...nice voice

[schmoopie0518]

WOW ~ Great voice and great guitar playing. I wish I could play like you! Do you write music and lyrics? 

Jan

[KrisShred]

@schmoopie0518

Thank you. Yes, I have original songs on my channel, some more rocky than this song :)

Cheers,

Kris

[heybjorn]

Great work. The best version I have seen here. You have a very good voice and your playing is superb.

[folksinger91]

I love your voice, just like Paul Stookey.

[xotimox9]

Love this version. I was about to correct you by pointing out this was a Dylan tune. Turns out Dylan (comepletely  uncharacterlistically) covered this Gordon Lightfoot song four years later.

[shebinkow65]

You do a great job with Gordy Lightfoot EMR, my fave singer songwriter from Canada.

All the best to you Kris,,,,

Keep @ it,

~Omer~

[boomer3504]

I love this song...great version Kris...

[123strauss]

Two questions ,,, you're using a taped rythmn section and how did you manage to upload this in stereo ??

[KrisShred]

The soft percussion track I programmed before. The stereo trick uploading a FLV file doesn't work any more.

[synchoo]

now i'm addicted to this video :)

sounds so soft and calm, and i love it! thanx for sharing, kris :)

[msDawe]

This is just gorgeous.

I'd buy a CD of you (:

[KrisShred]

Thank you very much Tracy!

[Pat1050]

Your had work has sure paid off, WAY TO GO !

[keddie68]

Hallo,

deine Stimme passt ja wirklich gut zu dem Song. Gefällt mir sehr gut.

Das ist im Moment mein Lieblingssong von dir.

Gruß aus Kieeel

[TinkGerman]

absolutely gorgeous rendition,

love the picking and your smooth mellow voice in this song

perfect, wonderful!

[jingersnapz]

oh wow, this is beautiful. It reminded me of the songs from one of my favorite movies- Brother sun, sister moon. so yea, just fabulous!!!!

[sdfgsgdf]

Gorden Lightfoots BETTER

[ForceAndTendresse]

If so hit the road and avoid showing in the area.

[RCROSSH]

Great job! I do love Peter Paul and Mary music too and your version sounds really good !

[reader256]

we didnt get 2 hear it but i like to hear there music

[maidinessex]

I could watch you for hours.......so good it gave me the shivers!

You are a star!!

[nemo227]

I've been "auditioning" various versions of this song and your version stands up with the best of them. Nice job!

[KrisShred]

Thank you :)

[scarlettsmythe]

The drums sound like rain. I guess thats the point. You did good. This song reminds me of my dad, he likes folk music. Why don't you have a record deal?

[KrisShred]

Thank you Marilyn :) Well, it's hard to get into the music biz. I'll keep on writing my original songs and maybe I'll have luck, who know? ;)

Kris

[scarlettsmythe]

Well, you are on youtube. Plenty of people get record deals just for putting themselves out there. Good luck!

[njchad]

great cover my friend.

im from orillia where gordie is from, he would give this 5 stars im sure

[KrisShred]

Thank you for the positive vibes mate! :)

Kris

[RubyzMalaika0016]

Das ja auch geil,

Gänsehaut pur!

Wenn du eine cd herausbringst, kauf ich die =))

[KrisShred]

Danke sehr! Ich bin zur Zeit dabei Aufnahmen mit besserem Sound zu machen, die ich dann irgendwann online verkaufen will für ein paar Pennies. Allerdings nur Originale, keine Covers ;-)

Kris

[marklouisjordan]

[Snapestochter]

Hei Hei ein wunderschönes Lied^^

Aber die Flaschen die manchmal davor stehen sind witzig mal ne Weinflasche und jetzt eine Saft Flasche.

Du bist ein guter Sänger:)

[KrisShred]

Hehe, ja, die ollen Flaschen :D In meinen neuen Videos hab ich n richtigen Mic-Ständer, auch wenn die Flaschen fast schon kultig waren lol

Danke dir :-)

[KGeert]

I always love it when you sing low *sigh*

[KrisShred]

hehe ;;))

..never sure what comes next (the way I arrange my songs), but I'm on my way :-)

Thanks Krissy

[DLashbrooke]

bleak and melancholy....these things are missing. paul peter and mary really watered down this song, like the other user said i wish people covered lightfoots version. you've got a great talent though

[sarahsbackbuddy]

i got to disagree with DLashbrooke. Kris, i think yours is the best version i have heard of this song, much better than gordon lightfoots, tho i like him too. i absolutely love your voice in this song Kris! thx for posting. i have listened to it many times. :-)

[KrisShred]

Well, it's not worth arguing about taste, since everyone's opinion is bound to be subjective :D

Thank you very much Sarah :-)

Kris

[martycarter5]

TWO THUMBS UP! Beautiful guitar playing and singing. Your voice appears to have a German accent. My Country needs professional singers like you. Beautiful balance of voice and guitar playing. THANK YOU I ENJOY VERY MUCH.

[KrisShred]

Thank you very much MartyC :-)

[varig]

i love this cover... you have such an enchanting voice... keeping singing bro

[KrisShred]

Thank you :) You're a little sunball, much energy ^^

Kris

[chazgs3]

[granniejans]

Oh Soooo nice! Such a great voice.

[KrisShred]

Thank you! :)

[theuppercanuck]

Well done, Kris! I really like PP&M's more subdued version of this song and am glad to see a nice tribute to it.

[KrisShred]

Thank you :) Greetings to Canada

[jongboon]

hey man, you sing it great! You have the potential to be the next peter, paul and mary band which is rare today...

[mozartiikodesu]

Very nice song!! your voice take me to the heaven!! keep your nice job!!

[KrisShred]

:) Thank you iikodesu

[attybong]

cool, nice rendition pal!!!

[KrisShred]

Thank you!

[Katie4278]

i love peter, paul, and mary :)

this cover is quite good.

can you do puff the magic dragon? i love that song (not because of the drug reference or anything like that, i just really like the song)

[KrisShred]

Thank you Katie! At the moment I'm concentrating on my originals. Cheers :)

Kris

[psychospeakempire]

very nice. you sound a little like Nick Drake.

excellent.

[KrisShred]

Thank you for the compliment! :-)

Kris

[hoturtu87]

Another good recording.I love folk music.You are one of the best musicians on youtube.I am always wondering befor I watch a video,what is he going to use next for a mike stand?

[KrisShred]

Haha.. yeah, well.. there will be a time when I will have a decent mic stand ;)) Thanks hoturtu

[gueraranchera]

You're welcome. Now I really want to hear PP&M's version (believe it or not I've never heard it) because I'm very intrigued to hear their treatment. Quite frankly, I can't see any of them cold and drunk on the ground memorialising fast women, but hey, it was the 60s, right?

[KrisShred]

Haha ;) Yeah, those were the days ^^

Yes, check out Peter Paul and Mary, a good idea - I like their music very much.

Kris

[attybong]

Certainly, because this is actually a Gordon Lightfoot song, popularized by PP&M.

[gueraranchera]

Very very nicely done. It's one of my favourite songs, and your voice has the right meditative, dreamy quality to it that makes it lovely to listen to. Don't be afraid to use some vocal power (even at the risk of sounding 'classical') to accentuate, because I think in the right places you could really make it a masterwork.

BTW, I just listened to Elvis' version, and you sir, did a better job. Keep going.

[KrisShred]

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked and watched some of my folky songs. I did this one the way I did ..on purpose. I tried to sing with a quite 'close to the mic' voice. That makes a warm sound. However here and there my guitar work could have been better and my vocals weren't in tune all the time. I am working on that at the moment. I have a new sound setup and it woks much better :) Thanks n cheers,

Kris

[karenoxf]

prefered this to original

[KrisShred]

Thank you very much

[karenoxf]

thought only i listened to this kind of music these days and i'm not even old thanks for responding i never expected it

[KrisShred]

Oh, you don't have to be old to like this music - you just have to be broad-minded ;o) Thanks again

[DolphinPal]

I said it before and need to post it again

(just experienced another "Meltdown"!) ...

Kris, U r the Perfect Package: Great natural Musical Talent ... Voice, Instruments, Heart & Soul; You're "Easy on the Eyes"; You're a Humble, loveable Human Being!

Can we have another Gordon Lightfoot song, please, pretty please ... You pick the one you like best; I'm sure it'll be the right choice! -- Thanks.

Sorry Kris, for this further "torture" attempt! Hope I'm forgiven. ;)

Peace ... Out! (Mike)

[KrisShred]

Thanks very much for your 'warm' words. I made a cover on '500 Miles', too. Check it out ;)

Kris

[sistaspooky1013]

warm color brown

warm soulful voice

heart warming song I didn't know before and now I love

If I had to pick just one vid to listen to of the new ones u uploaded, I couldn't have made a better choice.

Cheers from München and thanks for your wonderful art have widened my smile on this day.

[KrisShred]

Hey thanks. Where are you now at the moment? In Munich? Have fun and spread the love :o)

K

[sistaspooky1013]

Thanx dear. I'm in... Florance, Italy, but could be I'm coming back to Germany.

Ciao Bello

S

[KrisShred]

Have you found a lover? :D

[sistaspooky1013]

Better, I've become one ;D

[Selbsvertandlichkeit]

@KrisShred

No. I am lonely and miserable and sad - and i can't get horny with anyone because I don't share love with no one.

But i did give good trauma to the guy who hurt me from hurting girls! did that in front of all his best yt female friends! that was FUN!!

how have you been? do you have someone you can make fuck with love with? new songs? how's studies? probably you have a degree

maybe you are a father? old f?

i missed you (you, the real Kris, not the horrible guy that hurt me)

[Selbsvertandlichkeit]

@KrisShred

missed traveling :(

[KrisShred]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it :)

[dancegypsy]

I'd really love to hear you sing this in German, as well. Any chance of that? This is still one of my favorites... I play it over and over.

[KrisShred]

I could try to translate the song, however I'm too lazy to do it hehe :D Cheers,

Kris

[RoVo100]

Sauber, einfach gut!!!
