  • I think Paul Simon would appreciate this cover. Nicely done

  • best!

  • Best rendition I've ever heard. More soul.

  • GREAT JOB my friend, you knocked it out of the park from where i stand!

  • beautiful job

    

  • Bravo! 

  • Absolutely Brilliant rendiditon

    

  • You don't have a keyboard, orchestra or even a bass to help you out. I'm very impressed with this; it stands on its own. Please keep connected to this endeavor.

  • Very nice job!!! Excellent voice and it is obvious you possess a talent for playing the guitar.

  • Too R&B

  • I'm a big Paul Simon fan and love music in general...this is good, very good, this is not an easy song to sing or play, thank you for the performance. I trust youo won't mind my posting it on my Fb page.

  • you look like Louis Suarez!!!!

    you did a great thing here, like your way of guitar playing.

    great job!

  • Well, this isn't Paul Simon. But it is really fantastic. I predict great things for this young singer. And I might suggest that he considers covering some Cat Stevens hits.

  • And thank you for teaching me this song. I've never known it before.. bloody awesome..

  • Hey buddy, this very was so effin awesome I had to pinch it. Thanks for this..

  • I think you are handsome and "sing right...nice job...." Do more ...keep on singing...how 'bout "Take Me To Mardi Gra".

  • Absolutely amazing.

  • Gran versión de verdad de éste clásico de Paul Simon.

  • nice guitar !! what make is it?

  • Nice. What's not to like?

  • Good job with this my man

  • Excellent job good man!!!

  • I hope you don´t mind that I made a ringtone from your version of this beautiful song. To carry it with me and hear it every time, my ex-lover calls me

  • @TheEpsilontik Whoa, really? Cool!

  • I was listening to Annie Lennox's version of this song. To me THAT IS THE BEST!!!!, I didn't know (the great vocalist) Streisand covered this too (yuk!). To me, next to Annie's version YOUR COVER is the BEST!!! Dare I say? I like it better than Paul's. Great job!! Keep up the good work.

To me, next to Annie's version YOUR COVER is the BEST!!! Dare I say? I like it better than Paul's. And loved the passion you put in at the end. Great job!! Keep up the good work.

  • Stunning version of one of my fav Paul Simon songs. Great work man.

  • Nicely done.

  • Oh my goodness! Your voice is amazing...... Especially since it's singing a Paul Simon song =) Ahhhhh...

  • That's a really good cover man. Youtube is riddled with some seriously disillusioned covers but you got this song spot on. The playing and singing compliment each other very well, very subtle and tasteful. Well done, the guitar sounds really well. 5 stars definitely.

  • It is one of my favourite Paul Simon - Songs !

    Your playing and singing is very individual and very good. The recording is very good too. Of course I will give 5 stars. Cheers, Professor Matzko

  • Great playing and your voice is just amazing. Well done!

  • Amazing dude, nice take on a Simon masterpiece.

    Let us know when your 1st concert tickets are avilable!

    Sweet!

  • You do a great job, Halfadrop. This is a song I'm trying to learn but I'm not that great a guitarist. I can't follow what you're doing because it's hidden behind the mike. That's too bad because of all the versions of this song on youtube, yours seems to be the most accurate.

  • Thanks funkstagazza, but I wasn't "trying".

    I have the tendency to play what I like, however I like it.

  • yeh whatever.

  • Now that doesn't make any sense, does it...

    Oh, and I'm glad you approve of my other video. Phew! What a relief...thought I'd let you down again...

  • Great job, knocked me out. I have to do this song, do you know where I can get the tabs?

  • beautiful! I think you play it exactly the way the song was meant....

  • really great finger picking..very close to the original A+

  • awesome dude.. touching

  • ...oh, don t pay attention at forked tongues here, you are out of this world...

  • oh dear oh dear, iciavsser, i detect some jelousy here..your comment is sooo way of the mark...halfadrop is an excellent performer ..no ego at all. its just sooo obvious , he is one of the most modest and humble singers ive ever had the pleasure to have witnessed. and you my dear iciavosser are rubbish!!

  • I usually don't reply to the disparaging comments because opinions are just that.

    But you are way, way off track here. What ever you see here, I guarantee it's not ego. I pull faces when I sing, I jump around - maybe that tells you something about how good or bad a singer/performer I am. Hardly about my humility.

  • I agree... and I can see humility... for sure!

  • @Halfadrop It's funny, icavosser's comment almost poisoned me on the performance. But, your reply made me listen to the whole thing. It seems to me like you're just having fun with it and making it your own, which is a totally valid musical approach. Thanks for posting. For a guitar player/singer (even without the weird qualification) you do very nicely at both.

  • This is something so right!

  • This is really really really great. And I know something about it. It blew me away.

  • GOOD JOB

  • Bravo!

    Really think that is a stunning version.

    The tabs?

  • Really good. I've listen this song a thousand times and this is even better than the original. Congratulations.

  • thanks for sending.Your guitar is superior . i do the easiest thing to get by. Much better jazz feel and great voice. I think I do yuppy music. Yours is excellent and much better.

    ****

  • Awesome cover.Very good on guitar and voice !

  • bravo. inspires me. thankyou.

  • Why yes!!

  • This version is refreshingly different while keeping that comfortable familiarity. I've listened to it a couple of times. great stuff.

  • that's like asking him to lack some passion and not be so real. I love his mic and his vibes. He rocks my world. if im ever in the uk, i AM going to cook him dinner ;-)

  • :))

  • awesome dude.
