  • I was just looking for an original studio recording of this and could only find a live version and covers. I decided to listen to some of the covers and I must say, yours is AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for sharing this. =)

  • @snoopywoodstok81 Flattered, thank you! That goes to everyone who has been kind enough to listen and comment! Please check out my other Hornsby stuff on here.

  • This is really awesome!

  • better than his live performance of this song

  • Great job, man... This is pretty awesome. You're talented.

  • Darren, well done!! I've been a fan of Bruce for over 25 years and have had the pleasure of seeing him live several times when he's come to my home town here in New Orleans. I can say with certainty if Bruce heard you play he would be quite flattered. I've had the pleasure of talking with him between sets at my local House of Blues. He is very personable and modest, very easy to chat with, and he definitely appreciates his fans. Again, well done!

  • @guyfroml Great stuff, fantastic that you have had the chance to meet Bruce and speak with him! I hope to also one day... funny because I was in New Orleans three months ago, great city! Thank you for the kind words.

  • @darrenrampton Too bad I didn't see your video sooner...I'd have told you we had to meet up while you were here in New Orleans. I'd have taken to all the great "non-tourist" places to eat. By all means let me know the next time you're by again.

    By the way, did anyone here teach you how to speak like a local? All you have to do is master two words....Who Dat! and Go Saints!

  • @guyfroml Yes, Saints had just won a game when we rolled into town, hard to avoid all the chanting of 'Who Dat' hehe! Great times there though, will let you know next time I stop by :)

  • you are fantastic musician. Please do a cover of the song "Human" by the human league. thank you darren for for doing a cover of "every little kiss"

  • A somewhat obscure masterpiece, well done,my friend. BH is simply a genius, thanks for sharing this,as well as your talent.

  • Well done my man, i remember when this album was released, back in 1990-91, i was working in a Cocktail Bar here in Sydney Australia DJing and i would play this album to death, i just loved it and think your great as well, brought back some great memories while watching you.

    Cheers

  • Thank you very much. Nothing can quite capture and store a place and time in your memory like music, as I'm sure you would agree! Great to hear about your own experience of the song.

  • wonderful, awesome, cool...thank you i like your style.

  • Thanks for the great comments everyone!

  • Amazing rendition -- singing and playing are both spot on!!

  • That was great! I wish I could play. Five starred and favorited bud.

  • i was hypnotized....awesome and very sexy:-)

  • DUDE PASS THE CHORDS !!!! THIS SONG IS CRAZY!!!!!

    i will help you out , if you want with any other song (if i can)

  • I wish you post how to play this. Great stuff!

  • Thank you :) There is a tutorial posted in video responses by the way!

  • top stuff mate! how long you been playing the piano?

  • Cheers! I've been playing for around 10 years, singing for much less, but I find the two work well together!

  • i love this song...and u play greatful!!!

  • WOW - that was GREAT!!! I got to hear him play this song in concert about 10 years ago and it was SPECTACULAR! you did a WONDERFUL job - the playing and singing together - AMAZING!! keep it up!

  • Beautiful! Thanks for the song

  • You are fantastic!! Congratulations!

    Best song, beautiful!

  • Short tutorial now posted in responses!

  • nice job, if you're taking requests, please play "country doctor" OR "the river runs low", both by Hornsby

  • Bad ass! You did old Bruce proud.

  • awesome keep it up!!! =-)

  • Great job!!

  • Holy crap ur amazing at singing this song and playing the piano. This song is so freaking good. You can make a lot of money by doing stuff like that.

  • Hey everyone. I've decided then that I will record a tutorial vid for this song, covering the main bits, and post it in the next couple of weeks!

  • Oh by the way I'm using my daughters You Tube but she wants to know how to play this song as well. Thanks again for your playing...

    truly made my evening..what kind of piano are you playing? Please teach us this song!

  • Awesome!! I was in a Hornsby mood and found your video and it made me vey happy..I'm twice your your age and it is great to know that someone in your age group loves this guy.You would do a great favor if you would show with instructional camera angle etc. just how you play this...great singing too!!!

  • U should put the audio of this video in Ares or a donwloading program so I can put this version of the song (which its definitly better than the original Hornsby's version) in my Ipod man!

  • Not bad! I like the piano solo at the very beginning!

  • Love it. Great job.

  • nice

  • It gives me the heebie-jeebies.

    Great job!

  • Great job man! I actually emailed Hornsby and asked him why he never plays this song anymore live, he responded and said he just play it the first time this summer for the first time in years. Great Hornsby classic! Wish I had the chords!

  • Man Your awesome! :) I love that tune and it's my and love of mine theme. :) I'd share the vid that i editet to it but unfort. it has to be private. :) Great playing man!

  • Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will definitely do one of those Hornsby songs and put it up soon!

  • Oh , yes. Would also love to hear you do The Show On or Fortunate Son (GREAT one!!!)

  • REALLY REALLY great :)

  • Very Good!!! Also, I love this song...

  • I am probably the biggest hornsby fan there is lol and I would say one of two songs... i would stronly suggest The Show Goes On, definitely not the obvious, but one of his best, especially the piano sections... also maybe Valley Road, a little more obvious but never the less a great song... PLEASE post another I love this video and would another!

  • do song c; one of my most favorites ever, and only one other video of it on all of youtube.

  • Very nice work! Might I suggest as an encore "The Road Not Taken" from Bruce Hornsby and the Range's album "Scenes From the Southside"?

  • From a fellow musician (piano player and vocalist) I have to hand it to you. I love Hornsby's piano and it's not easy - you did an amazing job!!

  • Hey guys. Thanks for all the positive feedback, it's certainly more than I ever expected! It's making me seriously consider putting up another Hornsby track on here... any suggestions? I wanna try and avoid the obvious. Thanks again!

  • A real Hornsby fan!!! Are you there man?Marvelous interpretation!!Cheers!

  • Thanks! The original song is to be found nowhere! Happy to see that is not only an American tune. "The chance just to talk to you.."

  • wow dude, great job, you're really talented

  • Very beautiful. You're a great player. Check out my stuff, and then let's start a band.

  • Nice.. Love this song.

  • Simplemente estupendo. Suena realmente bien. Adoro esa canción. De verdad lo disfruté como si fuera Hornsby quien lo interpretara. Congratulations man !!

  • nice job honey...just been looking for this song, you really did it justice

  • I have always loved this song, haven't heard it for ages, went to the local Bunnings store and it was playing on the radio. When I got home I tried looking for it and this was the version I downloaded. I thoroughly enjoyed it, cant say the neighbours did as I sang along with you, very loud. Thank you, bought back some fond memories.

  • you nailed it! great job man!

  • not bad not bad at all i quite enjoyed rour rendtion

  • thats pretty good your lacking a little flair though

  • Nice job..."The Way It Is" is a great album. I never get sick of it.

  • Oh Fuck. I just saw the original version on a soap operah vid here on Utube. I'm about the throw up. Great song, Sick vid. Does anyone have Bruce Hornsby's vid?

  • How long did it take you to do this and why did you pick this song. I really feel this song, I really miss my ex. Good job homie.

  • I originally learnt the song about a year ago, took me maybe a few hours, but its definitely one of those that grows and grows over time. I hadn't actually played it much prior to recording this vid, but I thought it might just be better to dive straight back into it than overplay it to myself beforehand! I chose to learn it in the first place after hearing it on the radio, then listening to Hornsby's 'The Way It Is' album a lot. Just really hit me as a wonderfully expressive piece of music.

  • Funny you should say it grows over time; Hornsby himself says he thought the song got old years ago! I believe he's stopped playing it. Great work here though; I really enjoyed it.

  • I really enjoyed your version! Good job! Could you also download the original? Nowhere to be found:( Thanks!

  • Very nice playing and singing. You do Bruce proud. You need some good musicians and you'd have a killer BH tribute band.

  • uh, ok. screaming the song doesn't make a good cover.

  • Umm, ok don't really see how I screamed it?! Anyway I'd like to thank everyone for the constructive and very nice comments, much appreciated!

  • Pay no attention to Geigerkampf's comment. I've been in radio for nearly 20 years, the last 13+ as a programmer. I receive CDs on a daily basis that don't display this level of talent. A little voice coaching & a few hours in a professional studio, and you could very well make a go of it. Very nicely done.

  • I dont most many comments but this was brilliant.

  • This is really good! Great job!

  • Hornsby never plays this song anymore live for some reason, I think he doesn't feel the lyrics are right & are outdated after all these years (I read that in an interview). Great piano song!

  • AMAZING!!!! This is one of my favorite songs! You did a fantastic job!!

  • coming from this huge bh fan I was quite impressed...piano was right there and i was shocked by the voice likeness...good on ya

  • dude, i have to be honest. the first time i started listening to this, i liked the piano alot, but when u started sining i stopped it. Then i came back to listen to it again and u r damn close to br hornsby. good work! i wish i had stuck with the piano long enough to learn how to play that.

  • I second this-- he does sound a lot like BH-- if he had the band he'd give Bruce a run for his money.

  • Dude...you did a great job!

  • Awesome!! Great song too!!!

  • WOW! GREAT job!

  • Very good job.

  • That guy is a great piano player!

  • Great job on the solo and the timing on the intro is perfect. I think I'll try learning this song next. I have "look out any window" tutorial on my channel" another song with a great solo by Hornsby. Check it out if you get a channel.

  • really, really nice! love the emotion in your voice and playing. very intricate song to learn. job well done

  • That was damn good. Great falsetto at the end too

  • Not bad.
