  • Il va loin ce chanteur, jusqu'au bord des larmes, nous montrant le désarroi de l'homme réduit à n'être que l'ombre d'un chien, l'ombre d'une main. Cette chanson qui parait bien douce est en fait un cri de desespoir. Bravo superbe interprétation très prenante.

  • @PowerBoat1234 Yes, his version was amazing. Jacques Brel was amazing! Thanks for stopping by. :)

  • 3rd visit to this one. I needed to hear this one tonight (personal reasons), bless you Greg, I empathise with you.

    Take care, you are a special person.

    Mike

  • Im not going AWAY! Even you sing this song with so much emotion. yor sad eyes...

    Greetings from Italy

  • Greg, you are truly a wonderful and empathic person. I am glad you sang this, for all of us who have been hurt, and you are extremely courageous to do this.

    Mike

  • Oh My....I got chills...

    So emotional....Loved it...Well done sir :)

    xx

  • Very good, did you really cry ? :)

  • @krake9696 Hi, Kristina! I'm sorry for taking so long to reply. Thank you for your kind comment! I really appreciate it. About the crying, well, yeah, the song got me thinking of things that had been happening in my life at the time, and it got to me. All is much better these days! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

  • Outstanding performance. Bravo.

  • bravo

  • Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! Also, thank you for adding it to your favourites! You've put me in wonderful company there! So very much appreciated, my friend! :))

  • Too much emotion Greg! lol, when this happens it can effect ur singing* x

  • Hey, Richard! Yes, it's not easy to sing, and cry at the same time! Lol! I was meaning to sing it straight, but was just getting over a past relationship, so it kind of got to me as I went along. I decided to keep it as it is, because, afterall, Jacques Brel, the writer of this song, his version is the most famous of them all, and it was full of emotion, too, so it seemed to fit perfectly. You should check out his version! It's wonderful. So sad, but wonderful! :)

  • Wow this is simply outstanding! What a performance. Every word you sung was truely heart breaking. Theres nothing I admire more than an artist who lives the song they are singing. Really sensational performance.. Outstanding! Bravo!!

    I love soo many versions of this song. It's probably my all time favourite song. Theres soo many amazing versions. Of the english ones I think my favourites are Shirley Bassey, Jack Jones and Emiliana Torrini and now yours to of course! Really well done :)

  • Wow! Kai! I can't thank you enough for that wonderful comment! I'm so glad you liked it! Your version is amazing! This song has always been a favorite of mine, too, and I can easily add your version as one of my favorites! Thank you, my friend, and Happy Holidays! :)

  • Oh my gosh! You broke my heart! Excellent job on this, you are really amazing!

  • Aw, thank you so much, Patrick! Can't tell you how much I appreciate it! :)

    Happy Holidays! :))

  • Greg you have a way of making your audience feel your pain happiness fun and love.:)

    I adore you as you know and enjoy listening to you over and over again:)

    Millions of stars for you my friend :)

    Hugs and love

  • Hey, Suzy! I've been away for a while, under the weather, but getting better! I've missed you! Thank you for your lovely comment! You are simply the best! Big hugs! Merry Christmas! :)

    your friend,

    Tommy

  • hey u sing very good my friend u would sound a lot better in french tho

  • Thank you so much, my friend! Yes! the French version by Brel was wonderful! One of my favorite performances of them all! :)

  • Hey, Dennis! Thank you for that wonderful comment, my friend! Can't tell you how much it means to me! :)

  • Wow...! When I got this I thought "WHAT IS THIS?"

    Then I PLAYED it at least 4 times because I was captured by the voice, the vocal interpretation and the absolute sincerity in the lyric interpretation by this Artist..What a special artist you are.. There are many good vocalists out there, but, Sir, you do what very few have the ability to do, and that is, you make magic and have the guts to wear your feelings where others can see and experience them as well. Thanks... check me out on the net.

  • Hi, Mike! What a wonderful comment! I've known of you for quite some time now. I've seen you on many of your television appearances, and think you're brilliant! I'm so honoured that such a great singer as yourself would stop by here, and say such amazing things about my singing! I can't tell you how much it means to me! Thank you so much, my friend! :))

  • Love it ....excellent!!! Bravo the artist and your comment !

    beautiful song and beautiful articulation of one artistic and human soul... !

  • Thank you so much for that wonderful comment! So very much appreciated, my friend! Happy Holidays! :)

  • Yesssss.

  • very moving......i love this song. always makes me lose it too no matter who does it. thanks for posting.

  • A bit too sentimental for me, but hey, I can't hate real emotions!

    The singing is absolutely gorgeous. I love all your videos.

  • Dennis, you are one of my absolute YouTube favorites, and your comment means more to me than I can say. I thank you so much, my friend! I will be around your neck of the woods soon, and will check out all I've missed! Can't wait!!! :))

  • you're amazing..lots of emotions..great job..

  • Wow! You're so close, Greg, I think we're in the same zip code, pally. Love this ruminating, introverted and musically suicidal version of this Brel/McKuen collaboration. I'd type more but I have to go sort out my razor blades. Seriously, folk, great job!!!! You da man, Greg!

  • nice and emotional song.... We feel that you have live the words. Thanks for sharing

  • Hi Greg

    High five from me.

    Music from my home country Belgium. Jaques BREL.

    Greetings

    Karl Heinz from Hungary

  • great work!

    Every blessing.

    Hollie

  • Martin, I'm sorry I took so long in replying to your wonderful comments! Thank you so much, my good friend! Everyone! Go to Martin's channel! You'll be happy you did! He's an AMAZING opera singer!!! :)

  • Very moving Greg,

    and totally authentic.

    Someone only asked me 2 days ago whether a singer can weep on command and I said I couldn't and when I have had to perform (e.g., at a funeral of a close friend or family member) it was nearly impossible to sing as my throat just wanted to close completely.

    Your performance here is truly amazing for its pathos and genuine feeling.

    ciao

  • Absolute first class !

    ed.

  • Hi Greg,

    Indeed it is very nicely done with a lot of emotion and full of meaning. Bravo!

    That s a very sad song and it is difficult to perform it as it can make you remember quite a lot about your own life.

    Very good job

    run out the door. I didn't get to say , your high emotion on If You Away, is very

    with the camera slowly moving in on your face

    in unison with the emotionality of the lyrics.

    Doug

  • Hi, Geeno! Thank you so much, my friend!!! :))

  • Greg, GREG ... I'll never go away! ... especially with performances like this ... May I say: the planned night time tenement background, which I assume is genuine, adds even more dramatic integrity to your performance ... Well done mate ... P.

  • Hey, Pat! Aw, thank you so much, my friend! You are the very best! Glad you liked the night time back drop, too. Yep, all genuine in this one. Hey, everyone! If you haven't done so already, do yourself a favour, and check out Pat's channels (asajol and 2Havago). You'll be happy you did!!! :)

  • hya our kid, lovely to hear from you, hope your life is wonderfull Greg, love val xxx

  • Great re-load. A new version ?

    The voice is great as always. The widescreen is great.  ---- Johnny August.

  • Hey, Johnny! Thanks so much, my friend! This is one I had up a couple years back, but it got lost I think when YouTube was expanding, and transferring videos to larger hard drives, or to other servers, so I decided to put it back up. Glad you liked the widescreen, too.

  • Was thinking at first that it might bring me too close to the screen, cropping the top and bottom off of the original video like I did, because the original was already quite close up, but I guess it's not that bad, considering the 3D version of this vid that's coming! Yikes! Get out the umbrellas for that one! Lol! Thanks again so much, Dick, I mean, Johnny!!! :)

  • This sounds great my friend! 5 stars and more from me! Love, Tamara xxx

  • Thank you, Tamara! So much appreciated, my friend!!! :)
