  • Ugh this is really good.

  • This is just beautiful .. Your voice is entrancing <3 And your guitar playing is just amazing

  • I love it!

    The best cover of this song.

  • I had my lighter on.

  • Good job man this is the best cover I have found of this song. I was wonder what chords you used to play this song. Did you have a background recording of you playing other parts of the guitar to match while you sang along and played the other part? It doesnt seem like you played it all at once. However either way is good.

  • @TheMdillard349 Thanks :). I don't really know the chords, as I tend to play everything by ear. I also retuned the guitar to a custom tuning so all the notes worked! There is no background recording - it's all one guitar, one voice and one take (just lots of finger picking :). Thanks for the comment!

  • I am in love.

  • very good, you should try out for American Idol.....keep up the good work

  • This was really good. Love the intense ending

  • simply amazing

  • Beautiful, although your voice is a bit quiet. Maybe try a mic :)

  • Upload this at high quality on iTunes and I'll buy this. For reals. It's awesome.

  • HOLY POOP

  • wow!! incroyable!!

  • Subscribed even before I heard your voice.. the guitar got me.

  • Gratz Ure great damn!

  • i was looking for a guitar cover of the song because i hadn't heard one that could maintain the feeling of the original, and then i saw this. congratulations on your talent, man. this was a great cover

  • I especially LOVE your guitar style in this cover, and your voice is really detailed on every note, I think it was one of the best covers I've come across. :) x

  • You have some talent! Goosebumps!

  • I LOVE IT!!

  • wonderful cover...

  • so beautiful. your guitar has such a nice resonace, is this not standard tuning? amazing :) <3

  • im moved* on a serious note. *subscribed : }

  • This should have more viewss!!!!

  • You're voice is amazing, it is so different and it's good to see a man do a cover for this song :D

  • I'd forgotten about this cover until your latest video came up on my subscriptions. I'm just as bowled over by it as I was the first time. Beautiful stuff man, you're an inspiration.

  • Great job translating this to guitar. :)

  • is there anyway you could record this in a better quality so i could use it for a dance?

  • very nice voice :)

  • Dude, you totally wrecked this. This is one of the best covers I've seen. Thank you!!! <3

  • this is an absolutely amazing cover. would it be possible if you could share the tabs with us? i would very much appreciate that!

  • This is such a beautiful cover

  • I really like this version :) Is the guitar standard tuning? And what are the strings ur playing? :) x

  • waaaaaaauw

  • Pretty good, but you should be careful about your guitar playing posture. After a while you might hurt your back.

  • absolutely beautiful.. one thing i love about sia singing it is the rasp in her voice but you did an amazing job at ful filling that song as a whole loved it

  • amazing song, but your singing wasn't that good!

  • amazing cover !! i actually prefer this to the original, its so effortless, your not forcing your vocals or trying too hard. <3

  • stinkin amazing! why arent there more guys out there like you?? :D

  • very good singing and guitar playing :D :D :D :D sounds very nice ;)

  • holy shit that was good!! u owned it!!!

  • I fall in love with you ! <3

  • That is fkin beautiful mate

  • u sang with such FEELING... gave me goosebums... :')

  • This was absolutely amazing! Very impressive!

  • tab is fairly simply... tuning is simply 4th string (G string) up a semi tone and 6th string (top E) down a semi town... capo on 1st fret... then plat 1st: 4th fret, 2nd: 6th fret, 3rd: 6th fret all others open... then drop down 2 frets to 2,4,4, then another 2 so open, 2,2 (like Em) and add in 3rd fret on top E... simples

  • Amazing !!! I'm gonna make a piano cover of this soon.

  • Thank you so much!! you're really great! ;)

  • EXELENT!!!!!!!! could u tell us the chords pleasee!!!!

  • @gematogenka A minor, C major, F major. In the key of A, this would be a progression starting on the sixth (minor), then moving to the tonic, and landing on the fourth. However, the fourth can really just be over G, making a G9 sus4. If you're going to add any color tones, keep in mind the song is, inherently, pretty bare. The A minor sus 4 works, as does a C6 or C add9, and the F sounds gorgeous as a major seven. Generally, just don't play any Bs too heavily... I think they're a bit rough here.

  • beatyfull *_*

  • nice voice, good job, i never realised this song would sound so good on guitar :)

  • I stumble upon this unbelieveable Sia cover by accident, and I couldn't be more thankful! Made me love this song even more!

  • wow bro great fuckin job seriously i don't get goosebumps often!!!

    

  • never would have imagined a male could pull this off so well, I would have thought that it would just sound more honest and true when sung by women.

    I stand massively corrected >_>

  • It's just like... OH MY GOD! Amazing!

  • very nice

  • Much too amazing for youtube, you should be on a stage my dear :)!

  • Excellent. Could you post the tabs?

  • This is beautiful, brought tears to my eyes.

    I love hearing it from a male. Somehow, it makes it more emotional for me.

  • Comment removed

  • I had shivers the entire time. Wow, just wow

    Great job man

  • Amazing cover. Breath-takingly emotional, painfully sad and still undeniably beautiful.

    What set of chords did you use? Link to a site? Or you made your own?

  • very beautiful singing

  • tutorial....? i think yes.

  • Love the guitar man. Beautiful cover bro keep it up.

  • Magnifique <3

  • amazing cover, you're incredibly talented!

  • I love this song by Sia, and I really loved hearing your cover of it. This song always hits me, and you made me cry. Refreshing hearing it sung by a guy. Great job.

  • Wow great!! you remind of that guy off of that movie called Scott Peterson vs the world umm...lolz!!!

  • You just make me cry more than the original song make me cry. thank you bro...

  • amazing O_O

  • great job picking it! very true to the original and love it!

    If i were to change 1 tiiiiny thing , id look at one of the tones in the " bass" (1:00 min is an example, the pattern of course repeats itself), in the original it goes down on the fourth note, that kinda completes the melody in the bass and cant help but i miss it a lil in your version. Not intended as critisism tho, loved the cover :)

  • Comment removed

  • Absolutely brilliant voice. It takes a lot of skill to be able to do something like this so very, very well.

  • you. are. amazing.

  • I'm so happy that a dude sings such a wanderfull song!! :D I love it :D

  • Loved it

  • Great job man, I love this song and you did an awesome cover!

  • God this is perfect.

  • This is so righteous. Other covers I've seen have felt a little empty because the guitar hardly constitutes an orchestral kind of set-up like Sia has, but the way you've interpreted this to incorporate chords as well is awesome, and welcome amongst the single string alternating covers. I like the custom tuning, it sounds really cool :)

    Plus, you have a wicked voice.

    Kudos! :D

  • amazing :)

  • This is amazing seriously I dont know if theres words to describe it WOW !! well done :'D

  • Very nice conversion to the guitar.I love it, this is one of my favorite pieces to play on the piano.You can just feel the emotion flowing out of it.

  • There are no words for how awesome this is.
