  • this is wonderful cover. It is such a rustic and mellow song.

    I love it!

    Good job!

  • Amazing !

  • I've always been very fond of this song and this is an awesome cover.

    But then again, this guy is very talented and anything he covers is outstanding.

  • Oh wow I've worked in the music industry & been a Dj around England & heard many many good singers & I'm very very fussy about music artists especially their playing & I can tell you it's a massive thumbs up as you nailed this perfect in every way? A very very well done my friend.I totally loved your version I will show this to many people to show them what talent you've got!!!

  • Great! That's all I gotta say....end up watching all your other songs. Thanks for sharing.

  • Larry......You have a GLORIOUS voice, my friend....ione marie

  • Larry... :-)

  • So nice, congratulations.

    

  • Super rock in this one, I really super enjoy it. . .thank man !!

  • i did the same thing, double dub it (my vocals) and the effect is the same, like chorus on mic... i wanted to sound like gilbert's vocals effects and yes it worked... you are great talent dude... with all my respect..

  • Nice job. One of the best songs ever written.

  • Sad song of course but so beautiful and profound.Nothing more to add.

    My congratulations Larry

  • Sad, but beautiful. Makes me think about my dad who died back in February. You did such a wonderful version of this. I so clearly remember when it came out. At first I thought it was Paul McCartney. Definitely a Beatles influenced tune. I certainly agree with your comments Larry, and most on this page......

  • Larry....... I have come back to this so many times....It is a song that ive always liked....But your cover, i love it.....it is actually the only version i want to and do listen to......The qualitiy of your music is PRICELESS.....ione marie

  • Great jo keepin on keepin on!

  • That was beautiful.

    I'm sad now.

  • not perfect but---dam good!

  • Always liked this one..used to be my fav until I realized how sad it was....

  • man you play keys to woow this song this song woooow thnxs man nice~!!!

  • Larry......This is sweet irony.....Here is a song, be it famous, that have lyrics that are very sad....But yet, i couldn't begin to tell you how many times i have come here to listen to it....You take a sad set of lyrics, and make it a song people can't get enough of...And just how do you do it?....Well, i will tell you.....With that sweet voice of yours is how.......The best sound on youtube, Hell..the best sound ..Period......ione marie

  • that profound song is so well interpreted by you Larry that I'm almost crying. You've just touched my soul

  • I adore your version Larry. Great song ! and that's true that the extra version that you've put up is very useful. Once again thanks a lot for your beautiful music.

    Brilliant

    Regards

  • I adore your version Larry. Great song ! and that's true that the extra version that you've put up is very useful. Once again thanks a lot for your beautiful music

  • That was so beautiful !

  • one word say's it all "Beautiful" 

  • Great song. One of my favorites. A masterpiece. Thanks for doing it. Isn't it weird to see you and many older dudes at home doing these covers on youtube? I don't have a problem with it. I'm 57 and just have a problem realizing that this guy I'm watching is probably my age. Still 33 in my mind. Aging is strange. Oh well, we're all in for the same ride. Nice job on the cover!

  • what guage strings do u use ?

  • Yes I would love to see Clair as well, been working on ALone again myself, have almost got it, except for 3rd measure chord of verse. Anyone know what it might be? I seen G Bb Eb

  • Geez, with the lump in my throat I almost have trouble writing this but wow, I wish I had your talent. Very well done.

  • Nice cover dude......Can you do Clair

  • WWwoOowWW! That classical solo was absolutely SPOT ON!!! Great job on the entire song (masterpiece!). ...very memory evoking song for me... Thanks!

  • Larry...Thank you for showing your hands on the piano...I really like that but you sure bring out the tears in me..

    ~Joan~ la. bayou

  • brilliant

  • NICE..ty!

  • Have you heard about video surgeon software to learn better from music vids??

    Rob

  • Oh baby. That's nice.

  • That is a beautiful sounding piano and the guitar with the nylon strings goes so perfectly together. I love this song and always have and thank you for covering it. I'm a child of the seventies and relate to most of the music you perform and sing.

  • hi larry,a friend just sent me his version of this and i saw that you had covered it,

    i was and still am a huge gilbert fan, your cover is truly inspirational,

    absolutely wonderful my friend

    jim

  • Hi, great cover of this song. Can u tell me what notes / chords are for piano? I see the piano playing in small window, pity you had that in that direction, as bit hard to work out what you are playing.

    Also interested in guitar solo notes, although I think I can work that out from the video. Thanks Phil

  • @Richo12ful not sure if your reading this comments mate, but I now can play song quite well, but I am still stuck on the 3rd measure of verese, sheet music I have, says am7b5th with A bass, I can't quite see what you play, could you help me out and let me know, be very thankfull, Cheers Phil

  • Excellent job, man. Not an easy song to sing (or play). In fact, I think it's one of the best tunes that McCartney (n)ever wrote! ;)

  • I think I've become your biggest fan!!!!

  • Right On Podliner! :)

  • man, u mad my eyes wet...

  • An excellent performance.  I love your piano numbers.

  • Beautiful.

  • Larry.....The irony here is this......the song title and the feeling that your voice leaves with us are total opposites........You have a genuine gift, my friend....ione marie

  • superb guitar solo.

  • One of the best covers on YouTube!

    May I ask what vocal harmonizer you use?

    10/10

  • I don't know what words to use, so I'll just put this: !

  • Comment removed

  • this man is really an artist. We tent to compare always new versions with the original but in this case....I choose for this one. Thank you very much for sharing your talent...

  • wow what a beautiful version....greetings from belgium

  • podline. amazing. any chance you could put the chords up/quick lesson or play it with the camera over the piano so I can work it all out. keep it up.

  • Groovy ! Nice job! Love this song!

  • What did you use to tweek your voice?

  • I did double track it., with just a bit of reverb and compression. I use Waves software-it's the absolute best.

  • @podline66 My good man. I'm only 23 but I like the classics: Stones, Bee Gees, Beatles, Led Zepellin, and other famaous songs and groups. I aprecciate specially this one. Makes me think about lost friends and my dear brother. Thank you so much you've made me cried. Thank you.

  • Awsome! congrats! :)

  • very nice thanks for sharing

  • nice shorts buddy

  • nice job sir! godbless!

  • I love ur cover of classic songs, awesome

  • An old favourite of mine from the 70's, hearing it again was like getting a visit from an old friend. You sang it perfectly. Thank You

    Kenny

  • excellent man.

  • Great job on this classic from my childhood. I was three when it was released, but remember listening to it more and more as I grew older. You certainly have done this one justice!

  • Larry.......Your voice is GOLD here.....i cant get enough of this:)........ione marie

  • bravo bravo !!!!!

  • Perfect!

    Love how you did this.

    Always loved this song, but then I am a bit of sourpuss sometimes. lol

  • Larry.....i find myself coming back to this a lot....it leaves me with such a relaxed content feeling....its kind of like the feeling of a cool summer day or something i guess....regardless, its incredible:)....ione marie

  • Magic, i love it mate.

  • I've always loved this song, so wistful, and you more than do it justice. Nice job.

  • Very impressive. Not an easy song to sing.

  • This is my all time fav. song...Very well done, congrats.

  • Nice!

  • You need to go on AGT next year. You would make Hasselhoff cry.

  • Larry, I heard this song back in 1972 when I was in the 3rd grade...it always brought a tear to my eye especially the third verse...I can't bring myself to listen to it without tearing up, your emotion to the verse rings true in your delivery. - Eman

  • Larrry this is a spectacular display of your multi-facetted talent. You put it all together..vocals, keybd and classical guitar...you are truly an amazing musician and l am in awe.

  • Larry, another good choice. Ray (Gilbert) O'Sullivan grew up close to where I live here in Wiltshire, England. He wrote some good songs, this being among the best. You've produced a good interpretation.

  • Another classic. Thanks for putting up the extra window to the keybaord. Sound like you overdubbed this one. Did you play it twice through?

  • I played it once. Overdubbed a vocal, as Gilbert did. Also added the guitar solo, filmed as I played it.

  • 1972 my first girl, my first car , a 67 dodge coronet, gas was 27 cents a gallon. the usa was still a manufacturing power. how far we have fallen

  • I was right there with you...another car , another girl lol!

  • But they say you're better off.. Other than computer stuff, no way..

  • @phillynotebook

    1972 .. mine was a buick opal .. and we were a manufacturing power ,, before the unions forced al the jobs overseas .. they are almost done , there is only a few left ...

  • You teach me so much

  • You are teaching yourself, the right way dude.. By appreciating and respecting what has gone before you..

  • Larry......The wonderful guitar play, that voice that goes right through me, and a song filled with so much aching truth.....Nothing more to say other than YOU ARE THE MUSIC MAN:)!!!...........ione marie

  • This song was number one on this day in 1972, though you make it sound as fresh (and pertinent) as ever. Very well done, Larry.

  • Well, that's totally cool! I don't think you've done a video with the piano and guitar, have you?

    When I was much younger, I could never relate to country music, openly making fun of it. But, now I find that I actually love many of the old standards. It's amazing what some time, experience and a little more knowledge brings us.

    :-)

  • Larry, you are a consummate performer - from the piano play, to the beautfiul guitar solo, to your smooth voice - there is so much to love about this one. Well done.
