[Tjypke]

Great job, Thanks so much for sharing

[ivohora]

very nice performence! i really love this song, you sound just like Leonard Cohen himself!

[cadavezmasdificil]

I like very much your voice and your way to sing and play the guitar. Thank you for sharing it.

[kangarc]

Wow... here's a man who really understands the essence of the song. Excellent cover!

[gyshalom]

can you send the tab please

[IcoverRadiohead]

I actually just clicked on this because I saw it was being covered by an adult person, just wondering how someone who grew up in the 70's/80's covered this. And I really heard no (!) differences between the studio version and yours. You really gotta keep doing what you do, cause this cover is spot on! greetings from holland!

[Psychedelly]

Very good cover. I love this song.

[garfielddd21]

the voice, the sound, everything fits together...and makes me dream away

[Hozak]

I'm trying to learn this song on guitar as well. it has such a wonderful sound.

[ivanovivan11]

[CuteAnqelx3]

[uppiforummi]

great! *****



[starvinfolkartist]

Cohen is 1 of my faves...not bad.

[tomgreenlives]

Beautiful! Finally someone who plays it on classical guitar. Everybody is doing covers on steel string.

[raisehighcarpenters]

I very much enjoyed listening to this.

[payates]

@raisehighcarpenters . Thanks for your kind comment

[LGC100]

I've given you a plug on my facebook . So more people might check you out.

[payates]

Yes it really is mine. I'm glad you liked it. I don't think I'd have much chance of winning BDG but thanks for the thought.

[LGC100]

A good mime

[payates]

You are very perceptive thanks for you honest comments it's refreshing and more challenging to get less positive comments. It is me singing, honestly, but I sometimes record the sound seperate from the video then mix it back together. On this video I think the Lip Synch is off a bit! I'll try harder in future.

I look forward to more comments!

Best wishes

Paul

[LGC100]

You are getting left behind him at some points.

I've played you both in parallel.

Good rendition though. I like it.

Is the 'Our World' song really yours? It's good. Get on BGT - you'd be loads better than some of the acts. Sing for real in live mode.

[LGC100]

This sounds like it isn't you & doesn't sound like LC either.

Are you miming?

I believed that So Long Marianne was you but this is hard to believe

[rache1602]

Absolutely amazing. This song almost brings me to tears, and you have done a wonderful job.

Thank-you so much for sharing.

[payates]

Thanks very much for your kind comment.

[telsport]

@rache1602 I did bring me to tears.

I was looking for the song, thought it was Marianne, nearly stripped my gears trying to find it until the Spirit brought me here.

So fortunate. So glad. Tears are the right reaction.

I think you bring this off very well....as a prayer...which it is.

PS...quite prietly.

[highindex]

Very well done sir. A pleasure to listen to.

[gogi682]

Absolutely lovely singing and playing - I realize this is very difficult - would you mind telling me where you got the tabs - its one of the most beautiful songs and one I so would love to learn -- if there's any direction you could give me I'd appreciate it very much (I'm a beginner , well l l/2 years) and this seems very difficult but I like it so much I'd like to really try. You did a 5 star performance!

[payates]

Thanks for your kind comments. I don't use tabs I just listen to the record and try to pick it up by listening. The chords are  E , F#m, E, G#m, A, E, F#m, E' F#m, E , G#m, A, E, F#m ,E etc. For guidance on finger picking have a look at Kenmiddletonukulele he describes some Leonard cohen finger picking for ukulele which could be used for guitar

Good Luck! I look forward to hearing you rendition on youtube.

[eastbaydave]

very nice! loved the sound of that guitar!

[CurtisMateer]

She shows you where to look...the final chorus...a touch of brilliance where you touch on the major briefly before settling into the minor. Also, I have never listened to all the lyrics to this song as intently as I did just now. Superb. 5 from me too.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Super performance. Great song, great playing and great singing.
