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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
Hey there just thought I'd say that You got this so Right...just picked up on your stuff and its grand
Keep posting love your style and delivery..!
Its a rare moment when something hits you and it instantly hits you I mentioned Eric Bibb in my last post to you on the Hole in My Sock track and hope you get the recoginition your talent deserves!
Let us know when your 1st concert tickets are avilable!
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.
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!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Okay. You've got a lot of talent. A nice voice and good guitar skills. But it looks like your ego got in the way. Don't play this song like it's a showcase for your skills. It's a song about humility, for Pete's sake, of which you show none during this rendition. Nice job, tho. Better than I can do!!
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.
@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.
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.
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 ;-)
