This is terrific. Personally, I couldn't disagree more with JACSBO. I think Brett Scallion's (Fuel) version is 10000% more heartfelt and touching than the original, and I'm a big Elton fan too. I don't think it's angry, it's just gritty and emotional. Great job brother, I'm just sorry I'm only now seeing this fantastic cover.
My brother died a few years ago and he was my hero. I remember when i was about 10 and he was 20 he got married and moved far away and as a little girl it broke my heart. I remember hearing this song many many times over the years and missing him so much. Great cover of an amazing song!!
I've watched this video at least a dozen times so far. love the cover, ive been trying to learn it as well, but unfortunately can't sing the lower parts :(.
Love this, you have done a very respectful cover of a great song. Elton John has no qualms at all, I'm sure. I lost my oldest brother Dan to cancer 2 years ago, and this song has always held a special spot. As I said, you done agreat job on it, and thank you for posting this.
My brother Daniel died this month in a motorocycle accident. And I have searched many versions of this song to find one that meant the most to mee... and this version has surpassed many. Thank you.
@Tsiganewants Sending much love to you. I've always loved this song as it's my name and I'd hoped if anything ever happened to me that my family would play it at my funeral. Great version IanB4Music
love it love it love it My little Brother Daniel Past in october of 2005 and we played elton john's Daniel but love this one much more xoxox thank you so so much fuel
Hey that's not bad. I'm a critique so I have to say that Elton doesn't sing that loud. You sometimes sound like your shouting. Just hold it back a little bit and it would sound much better. Awesome Guitar.
A little bit held back at some parts. I think you should try to just let your voice go a little bit more. Still, overall it's not bad. Just a little bit more work and you would nail it. Keep rockin'!
Jealouse peolpe writing strange things...Don`t care about that - god gave you not a model body but a great voice and an unbelievable feeling.Thanks WE know whats counting more!
Thanks very much for your kind words. I actually record the audio and video in iMovieHD on my Mac, then drag and drop the movie into Garageband where I can add whatever effects I want. Then simply create a movie out of it and upload to YT.
VERY NICE!!!
