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.
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 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! :)

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?
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
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...
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.
Man, I've left your performance of this compilation open for 4 days now on my computer. I keep playing it over and over and haven't begun to tire of it yet.
So amazing! Thank you for doing a piano version, it's beautiful! I really like your version; I'm going to teach myself to play it by following you...and your voice! Jealous :)
This is such a great cover, you bring out the emotion of this song in ur singing and playing. Its a whole different side to this song. Keep it up man..This is beautiful.
Man, I can NEVER get enough of Goo Goo Dolls! Music i can listen to until i die! lol! Thanks for sharing the vid! If you have time check out another fav band of mine, they have a brand spankin new vid, just search for "Can't Hate You + Brandon Paris Band"
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.
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!
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?
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 :-)
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.
