Emotion? Soul? He sings like his jaw is wired shut.
Also he didn't even get the words right in the chorus. I'm not sure what he's singing. "Tonight i lie the stars above" ? What does that even mean? This guy fails.
he gives all of his soul,his emotions in every song he sings...I'm in love with his voice(and with him butt it's an other theme)...his is a man that I can admire!
Gavin (from one musician to ..) I've always thought you were the Billy Joel of the new generation, my itro to you was actually the stripped CD You can make someone else's song your own, like Nora Jones or James Taylor, sign of long career ahead ..Dylan
This is a great version, although a little disturbing that he sings some of the wrong words. It's "tonight I'll "ASK" the stars above". What's he saying? Tonight I'll "light" the stars above? He also sings "I could "love" but I could never touch". It's actually "I could "LOOK" but I could never touch". Otherwise, it is a good version and John Hiatt has a TON of great songs he's written that other artists made famous... "are you ready for this thing called love" Bonnie Raitt is just another
Thanks man. I love everyone. I can SURELY appreciate another man's 'sexiness'. It's allllllll good. No offense girls, but I think men are better kissers. HEE HEE.
Its very weird that Jeff Healey (the blind guy gavin refers to at the end of this video) died 3 days after this video was shot. He had a rare form of cancer. I initially thought Degraw was doing this out of rememberance.. but this was shot a few days before.. RIP jeff healey
Nope... he's playing the song the way HE wants to in HIS own style. If you prefer that Healey version that's perfectly fine, but it's illogical to want Gavin's cover to sound like Healey's. Paying homage while making it your own is a great way to do a cover, even if you don't like it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I never said I wanted it to sound like Healey. I said he could learn a lot from Healey's version. One of my biggest gripes with Degraw is that much of his music sounds the same. Part of this is due to his unique timbre.
I have listened to a good deal of his music and "young love" is the only keeper I found. The rest of the songs kind of blend together.
Sorry Gavin Degraw fans, perhaps you should click the thumbs down button now.
Fair enough... Not everyone has the same tastes, only immature people would "thumbs down" someone just because they opinion about music was different.
A large portion of DeGraw's fanbase are teenaged girls who love him because they think he's hot... hardly apt to debate about music, so yeah that makes six.
Hi. yea, i just wanted to say too cgilmo78, uhm his music does sound alot alike, but every artists music sounds like the same you know? uhm, yea. and RL82, you know if you go to a gavin degraw concert theres females in defferent ages, i dont think that his fans are mostly teenage girls, mostley they are 30 +. (: And last but not least, he's is so talented, and i dont think you could EVER doubt that!
( sorry for the maybe bad english, im from denmark )
I thought for sure I was gonna be in a room of screaming teenage girls when I saw him in March. It ended up being an extremely diverse crowd all the way around. All ages,races PLUS lots of guys...Fantastic show.
Well ... I disagree with you. The first time I listened to him, I fell in love with his voice. I had never seen his face before that. The way he sings moves me. I am 37 and I've listened to a lot of music in my life. This guy has something different ( and no thumb down for you, I like to discuss even if we disagree :o) )
This is exactly what happened to me as well... I was listening to "I don't want to be" on the radio and was wondering: "Who is that guy?? His voice is amazing!" So back in 2005 (I think), I googled him and now I'm blessed with three incredible records by him.
But I guess that no one minds that he's actually a good looking guy as well ;)
Went to 3 of his concerts here in The Netherlands..
Met him the last time he was here in Rotterdam, what a cool guy..gives me his hand and introduces himself like a regular guy..takes pictures with all his fans and signed autographs for about 45min in the freezing cold..
Truly the most underrated artist ever and one of if not my favorite artist..
John Hiatt wrote the song, but didn't record a version of himself doing it until several years after it was #5 on the Billboard from Jeff Healey's recording. If you skip to 4:20, Gavin actually says that it was written by Hiatt, but made popular by Healey.

Wow, wow, wow, omg, what a freakin' amazing version this is!!! I love it!! This guy leaves me speechless every single time he opens his mouth from the very 1st time I heard him live on Carson Daly's show singing "Tracks of my Tears", which was done so beautifully! He's awesome!

nope, jeff healey is the only one who can sing this. it pisses me off that people try to pull this off, jeff was a great person, and now hes looking down on us with his angel eyes...
It is called a tribute. Jeff Healey was my close friends cousin. I never got the pleasure of meeting him but this song is one of my favourite songs of all time, and Gavin is one of my favourite and in my eyes one of the most original artists out there and I think he sang this song beautifully.
ha yea in my next email / video i was gunna mention to you the soft chariot from this same user. check her account shes got a great chariot for you to try.
I just listened to it, it's great. I actually just finished recording "More Than Anyone," and I'm waiting for the guy who did overdubbed the vocals for my "Coming Home" vid to do the vocals for the Gavin song.
