Moondance (Cover by Taylor Abrahamse)

[justcallmegrayson]

hahhahaha you're a freak.....but a cool freak...haha nice cover!

[gemmagemmz]

wow 3 years later and its still great :-D

[Valkodu]

I like it, the only problem I have is that it seems like you're trying to hard to make it your own. But I do love what you did with the guitar parts.

[politimat]

That's... really good. I like your rendition of this song! It's surprisingly good!

[timheidi53]

You're good. Love the sense of humor.

[tayloreh]

@timheidi53 pleased that somebody gets it! Perchance you're a Tim and Eric fan?

[Salty223]

my opinion : I didnt really like the first verse but after that it was greaat!!! keep it up, you're really good! dont listen to all these douchers!

[Bugga951]

Nice man. I like the way you sing the song. Sounds old school.

[thepeoplesuncle]

i knew you was a cock as soon as you came on,and my 13 year old is better than you at guitar and sining ...... cock

[tayloreh]

@thepeoplesuncle gees, sounds like American Idol scrambled your brains and you forgot what music is actually about. I should've just been myself at the start, I agree, but you can understand how someone can get a bit insecure and feel a need to put on a character when invisible people on the internet fire them rude comments about how they're a cock.

[Psychosocialyt]

I hope this offends you... You are a fucking moron, your voice makes my ears bleed and I hope you fall over and impale yourself on a really blunt fence-post -.-

[tayloreh]

@Psychosocialyt I hope this offends you; I don't care what you think.

[preds1790]

cut out the first 39 seconds. otherwise its really good. keep it up

[dalexnapoli]

chist' nun sta' buon' !!!

[pastronge]

ur a geek, ur actings awful lol, if im honest i didnt like the way u kept changing the tempo of the vocals, u got a cool voice and the guitaring was very good just a shame u was such a div at the start. lol

[fastball119]

No offense, but you're a giant douche bag. Awesome guitar player though so that's cool. Mediocre voice, didn't make it all the way through the song. But keep working hard!

[tayloreh]

@fastball119 I'm obviously acting at the start dude :) and yeah this was two years ago I did this video, and I shall keep working. And I appreciate your honesty.

[ricardostube]

you sing like nobody's business!! A+

[danielolaf87]

oh you little cutie pie, you're very talented =D

[OGHSZommi]

Hehe It'd be better if you'd of covered the Van Morrison version ;) Great cover though

[abrahavi]

This is a very talented young man with incredible skills. You are someone for young singers to look up to.

[JesusFapsToo]

Delete the first 35 seconds, then it'll be perfect.

[tayloreh]

They told me in school not to aim for perfection, but excellence, so I had to keep it in ;)

[mencho2345]

niceeeeeeeee

sing it more slowly...its better...but you gave it your own touch..nice:D

[widdlywhee]

Hey... less talking, more singing. ;)

[ChrisMarie93]

...the intro..LOL

good cover!!!

[RossiSinger]

This sounds wonderful! 5 stars and more from me! Thanks for the brilliant comment on my channel! Your support is much appreciated! Love, Tamara xx

[speedlunkerscave]

You are great. If the right person catches it, YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. ALL YOU NEED IS A BAND WITH SOME BRASS. LOVE YOUR GIRL FRIENDS. COULD YOU PLEASE DO SOME ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM FOR US? YOUR FRIENDS REX AND SHARON

[tayloreh]

Thanks! Maybe I could do 'Desafinado' sometime for ya.

[pichkari8636]

u look alot like michael buble !

[Jualtair]

You are the very talent...

Ju

[xXMariskaXx]

I think it's very good that you're trying to make it your own.. and it worked out pretty good.. but in the beginning i think it sounds a bit like you're in a rush trying to catch the train or something,, but later on in the song you're really starting to like " get in the feeling'' and then it's great,, cause when i close my eyes it sounds like i'm listening to a cd.. i like the sound of your voice.. and i think with your personality you would do great in a musical...

well that's about it.

[tayloreh]

thanks for the detailed comment! I hope to get another one from you in a year or so to see if you think I've changed constructively.

[perduaparis]

Very, very original voice and style. A truly, potentially legendary voice. I don't like your patter (mom not now!) but then I'm old. Thanks for your video and a really genuine feeling of seeing a legend in his early days. I look forward to seeing you on tv. Stephen

[ModernSaxDotCom]

friggin' loved it!!♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

[zerobio]

Taylor, it's no secret that you are a talented singer, guitar player, and song writer ... that's for sure. But what makes you special, in my eyes, is your great personality and how you are skilled enough to just relax, let go and be a bit crazy and cool. This makes all the difference. Dude, you are great!

~ Elliott

[shradboy14]

Bravo!! You'd beat the Jonas brothers or Miley Cyrus any day!

[tayloreh]

thanks shradboy!

[hockeywwehcw28]

juicy fruit the taste is gonna move ya lol you were halarious

[lionessofgod91]

hey I've got an Alvarez too! lol I just don't see them that often : )

[tayloreh]

I had a huge guitar store to pick from... that one felt like the best choice! Good taste sir!

[hockeywwehcw28]

for your audition you sang tie your mother down - queen

[tayloreh]

Truth is I sang about five songs in the initial audition room... and they picked by far my crappiest performance to air :)

I was singing for like four hours straight with Sebastian Pigott before I went in... so that didn't help matters either, my voice was pretty tired... but whatever. Truth is I didn't really care too much about the whole Idol drama, I just wanted to get my voice out there. Pretty much what I'm still doing now.

[hockeywwehcw28]

canadian*

[tayloreh]

I did, yes. Nearly made the 24.

[hockeywwehcw28]

Thanks very much!

And thanks for putting me on your playlist. You're doing a super awesome thing.

So for the contest... does this video count? I did get permission from Van Morrisons publishing people. They have a youtube channel in fact and messaged me about it.

[dashpoet]

First of your videos I've seen: I enjoyed watching you getting into this song. I'll click on and see where it goes.

[locosauce22]

que cara de pajero que tenes pibe anque tocas bien pero tenes una cara de pajero.

here you get what I said in my language: which side of Pajero that kid got anque play well but got a face Pajero.

[BakedPotato1]

nice singing voice 5 stars :P

[ddawgsmash]

freakin nice wish i had a voice like that so i could sing all of vans song but of course im a singing to the radio thinking some of it sound good but nope its just the radio

[tayloreh]

haha thank you. You'd be surprised what you can do with some discipline.

[PlatypusofCalifornia]

Gah why'd ya have to live in toronto. Would've sounded good with my band.

Practice your ass off and you'll be excellent.

Listen to your critics if they know what they're talking about. Good luck. :)

[tayloreh]

ty. And actually, these days I'm out in the country. Not even T.O

[deucepac]

Well I'm not sure how old you are im guessing 15 or so.....you are VERY talented..I hope u keep pursuing ur dream is it is to become a musician....check out my moondance!!

[edward15k]

STOP PLAIGARIZING YOUR READING NOTES

[tayloreh]

.....? I'm not reading anything. In two videos I'm reading some of the lyrics as I sing but thats it. And as of a few videos ago I made a pact not to.

[deucepac]

You must not be very smart to think such a thing hahaha

[Punkboi08]

FREAKEN AWSOME!!!!!!! 5 stars

[twiggyh4x]

SWHWHEEEHHHT

[twiggyh4x]

OMG, That sounds awesome, i love this song, whenever i go to my local macdonalds it is playing . LOL

5 stars

[WeekendinLondon]

"Moondance" is a perfect match for your particular singing and playing style. You're an amazing guitarist and you do well belting out difficult vocal lines, which this song is rife with.

[PianoComposition]

Very nice cover! Next time try aim the sound hole at the mic, it'll make your guitar sound louder thus better =) 5*

[tayloreh]

haha wheres the mic on macs...? Thats what I've been trying to figure out!

and yes I'll try that thank you, though its hard enough to get me and the guitar in frame and well lit

[happynegg]

coolio

[OneProduktionFilm]

Very very nice 5/5, good voice, personality and skills.

[tamnabo]

Nice job on the guitar! It's a great song to jam to! :)

[BlaNeon]

That was really good! You're awesome at the guitar and at singing :)

[tayloreh]

thank you :)

[isaacworton]

that was brilliant!!!!

[AlexFromHell1993]

Awesome cover!

[dfprichie]

That was great Taylor. You really do rock buddy.

Love your vids

Richie

[tayloreh]

[poppygarden2000]

You did a bang-up job of this one Sweetie! 5 stars!!!!

[tayloreh]

thank you! Thank you for looking!

[Kabuki0009]

A great video, love the song *****stars;)

[tayloreh]

thanks for the support kabuki0009

[itstheit]

Great Van cover.

He's one of the few voices to improve with age. I kick myself constantly for having missed him in Ottawa, last summer.

[santamara]

I love "Van the Man" Taylor, one of my fav's of all time!

(secret) I was younger than you! lol

While his version may lure me to sleep,

Yours is refreshing and kind of wakes me up!

I love your spin on it! Great job!

Thank you for sharing your talent tayloreh!

You are awsome!
