Amazing cover! procrastination is key to making songs.. you have a great voice too.. i did a cover of this song wit piano and guitar if u wanna check it out
I disagree with those who mention issues with the guitar part; this is a beautiful version - done in your way - and I particularly like how you move into the higher register during the chorus. Interestingly, I also play it with the capo on the fourth fret, although I've transposed it to C, which works good for me. Like the Lamontagne version, I would have no trouble listening to this over and over. Let me know if you ever have a bootleg mp3 you want to share. : )
I'm pretty sure I've viewed all the Empty covers currently on Youtube and I have to say you are by far my favorite. Your vocals are money as is your interpretation of the song. Not to mention, you're pretty easy on the eyes too. Just wish your vid wouldn't have cut out before the end of the song.
Sorry to have to mark u down but i really love Ray Lamontagne and it just doesnt sound right to me, i understand its a cover but the rythmn is just wrong, nice vocals but the guitar is wrong, sorry !
It is a thing called interpretation. You know where you take a song and make it your own. Kind of like Led Zepplin, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Aerosmith, and every other great band did with other peoples music. Owned it.
Well, wow, I guess is the general consensus, and I would have to agree, great voice, and Im sure you get told this all the time, but you are very beautiful, your voice has a very Jewel quality to it. I'd love to hear you cover some Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley, or Joshua Radin if you havent already.
came to your channel for Sia, stayed for Ray (one my favorite artists)... wow - you've got quite the voice! check out anaker00 if you want to hear more great ray covers :D
hey, i was showing a friend this cover of yours and they loved it. haha. what a star. and by the way, what do you say in the beginning of the video? "lamontagne-e song teese? i'm just curious now...and it's driving me insane.

My favorite song by Ray (and it's not easy to choose just one) but hearing a lady perform is a special thing. Thanks for posting this :)

I loved your voice, and your guitar. And it doesn't matter to me if you're woman, 'cause talent has no sex.
And, you're beuatiful, and you've got passion. Thats great. Keep going on.
Brazil loves you.
