  • amazing

  • EXCELLENT!!!!

  • That was absolutely brilliant. You've done Mr Rzeznik proud, for sure.

  • AMAZING!!!!

    

  • Every single day I get on Youtube, i seem to always end up back at this one

  • i cant get enough of this.. this is just so beautiful..

  • I like this cover, much deeper/darker and lighter at the same time.

  • wow like it, great job keep it up

  • Love 'cainerknowall's comment lmao. Seriously tho ...WOW! speechless ...

  • I dont know why, but somehow this is better than the original song by Goo Goo Dolls.

    Well done MrBlackBalloon! :)

  • this is beautiful man...

  • amazing

    

  • very nice my man. you should check some of my originals/covers out on my channel ^^ rock on

  • Oh my god. I have to know what did you use to record this? It's simply beautiful!

  • Thanks. It was simply recorded with my old camcorder.

  • @MrBlackBalloon Haha I figure that. What I meant was, what was the brand?

  • gave me chills... beautiful!

  • well done well done

  • i like it :) this song should originaly be played on piano i think

  • @RandomlyFailNom

    No way lol

    But piano is always nice.

  • @Xeltosxx i dunno it is amazing on guitar and piano maybe if they did both but just kept it that simple

  • Dude, I gotta question...when you play this song in public, how many chicks ask to bare your children? Nice job

  • Bravo,

    I love your adaptation. It's very somber, yet very present. The DMB lyrics is the icing on the cake. Very good. Keep up the great work.

  • Do you record the music and sing at the same time? Because its very nice!!

  • Thanks. For this particular video I recorded both music and vocals at the same time through the mic on the video camera. On some of the later videos I've recorded them seperately.

  • the ending fits so well. very well done.

  • this is creative and your voice sounds great when you sing low then you hit the chorus perfectly, great work :)

  • This gave me chills, very beautiful!

  • You have a beautiful voice. This is the best interpretation of the song that I've heard.

  • That was amazing 

  • This is one of my favorite videos of all time on YouTube. I was captivated the first time I heard it and It's a pleasure to hear again and again. Thank you for sharing. =)

  • wow! that was majorly awesome! i'm moved.

  • Beautiful! I have got to find a guy with talent like yours!

  • absolutely fantastic, well done!!!

  • You managed to make a beautiful song even more so. Brilliant.

  • Wow your voice is very very nice, good job on this cover. I just Saw Goo Goo Dolls last night, Hope you got to see them this tour if you like them this much! They Would be Honored to know that you did such a beautiful cover! :)

  • Now that's fuckin talent

  • Comment removed

  • hi MrBlackBalloon, this is very nice! great job. may i also request a download link for your MP3? thanks.

  • Wow, just wow. This is the best cover I've heard for the song and you put your own style to it. You have an amazing talent and voice! Do you have this available as an mp3 download?

  • this is one of my favorite songs, and although you don't have the voice of johnny rzeznik, i really liked your take on the song!

  • OMG! This is amazing! Congratulations for you amazing talent. Can I have the mp3 link as well, pretty please? :D

  • As much as i love the original version, i think your version is in a way, so much better, because i feel that your voice fits this song and when you sing it, you make it your own special way which sets off deeper levels of emotion than the original. I love it soo much. Do you have an mp3 version of this, and piano scores/ tabs. Also, it would be very interesting to have a guitarist accompany you..6 outta 5 stars man..

  • Just wanted to say that ive been looking at other covers of this song by many other people, even i performed this song in front of people just the other day and i truthfully can say this. This version of this song that you have played has actually touched me and inspired me to just think about the lyrics and just connect and the way that you can do that.. its just amazing

    Great job :]

  • This is incredible, but I'm sure you already know that.

  • Hey Mate

  • Speechless, your unique way of expression, you touched me. I've never had such a personal connection with a song before. Thankyou. This is beautiful, better than beautiful. Extraordinary.

  • I really love Goo Goo Dolls, what makes me very demanding about alternative versions of their songs. Guy, you really impressed me, your version of Black Ballon have a beatiful touch of emotion and simplicity, seams like a new song...

  • oh wow, your voice is so handsome. <3

  • Very good man, love it

  • You sound like a combination of Shawn Mullins and Brian Vander Ark (Verve Pipe). In fact, you sound quite a bit like Brian Vander Ark. Nice voice. Keep working and you'll be really really REALLY good. Already you sound wonderful.

  • That's weird, I've done that song with #41 before, although Crash seems to work a little better; good job.

  • can you do an over the head play? I'd really love to learn it :)

  • so deep so heartfelt

  • just lovely

  • wow.this is genius.truly beautiful.never heard anything like it

  • your great_ if u can please send me the music sheet . i love this song and the piano

  • Sorry, I don't have sheet music for the song. The chords I play are listed under 'more info'.

  • sei troppo bravo! ... hai una bellissima voce!

  • Beautiful...gave me goosebumps.

  • Well done man, Keep it up. Loving, inspiring, and from the heart. Would love to get the sheet music to this one. Standing ovation! Bravo!

  • Best cover song on youtube by far!!! Beautiful...keep it up man!

  • record that i'd buy it

  • Is there some way that you could record an mp3 version of this? really

  • I didn't know that this song could sound any more beautiful since it is already a one of a kind work of art. But you just did it.

    You are amazing. thank you so much for this

  • Simply stunning. Seriously brought a little tear to my eye.

  • beautiful. <3

  • this is the kind of thing that makes me wanna learn to play the piano.

    its beautiful

    xxxx

  • Could you record a video with a top down view? That might help people see what you're playing easier. Great video, sounds fantastic!

  • that is outstanding . absolutely love the version

  • that's awesome...

  • Amazing. I listen while im surfing the web, and sometimes i watch just to see your fingers dance across the melodic insturment. Thank you for playing this

  • yeah your actually playing in B flat major. I can play this too, almost identical, but the way you play is just so calm and perfect lol. You should try and do a cover of Iris or something, it seems like your style. I love this vid, keep it up.

  • Amazing... but it would be cool if the cam faced in front of the piano so i can look at the keys you played...

  • Dude, this is amazing. Better than the Goo's! Keep them comin' man! We want more!

  • You are amazing, can you share your music sheet with all of us who posted here..I'm sure everyone wants to know how you improvised this magical piece..I personally would want to learn how to play like you..Thank you!

  • Sorry, I don't have ane music sheet. I really just play the chord listed in the 'more info' section and improvise over them. Can't explain how :-)

  • incredibly nice.. but cant play it!!! im just starting at piano and i searched for the chords but when i play them they just dont sound good... i know your keyboard is transposed but are those the chords already for de transposed keyboard o normal?

    thx :D

  • Hi. Thanks for you comment. I play the chords listed in the 'more info' section, but if you were to play along on a non-transposed piano you'd have to play the chords 4 half-notes lower than listed. Hope that makes sense :-)

  • ahhhhhhhhaaaa!!

    now i understand ^^!

    got it just listening :D

    thx a lot increible cover

  • f*cking awesome. i love the dave ending!

  • I love it man. I wish my youtube cover of this song was this good. I wasn't a fan at all of the dave matthews added in. To me it felt out of place. To me it was a song that was already complete to begin with. Just my opinion. But either way 5 stars, it was touching.

  • Ah mazingg

  • this is the bomb dude

  • My gosh....this is the greatest song i've ever heard!! Amazing dude!!!!

  • nice one

  • Absolutely beautiful.

  • You are a great singer and piano player.

  • u r really, really good! u got the voice and most definitely the piano skills. wat is this song rly about though?
