[alrightythen1979]

I love how much emotion you put into a song. It's great.

[bryank81]

You need to seek out a record deal. You would have a great career if you didn't let it go to your head.

[excden]

Dear Jay, dear, dear, dear Jay, I became a total fan today. Your song disarmed me, nearly made me cry, so free of artifice, so beautiful in it's simplicity. It's as if you've totally surrendered to truth no matter where it leads. I love you. I have decided I will buy your CD today, I most assuredly will...I want to say je t'adore over and over, even though I'm not French!

[DevonLacey]

wow this is awsome and this is my favorite song!!!

[jprush]

What a wonderful cover! I went to school, college with two members of The Verve Pipe. We were actually in the same music theory class! I remember when I first heard this song in 1991. Great job!

[devlandiablo]

good lord man, is there anything you can't do? sing, play guitar, piano, kashakas... you rock my world. dammit, come to philly and i'll bring you cookies!

[dianesnowflake]

I've just bought your CD and it is wonderful. I have never heard this song before until now, I just wished you had written it so I could hear it on your album whist driving in the car.

[raydio99]

When someone whose songs I love can cover someone else's song I love and make me choke up......

There just aren't any words that can tell what it means to me.

Thank-you, Jay.

[zman918]

Your voice is just amazing. I love it. I loved this song back then, and I love it now with you singing it.

[chuck21222]

Beautiful cover Jay! As usual the emotion you put into your songs and your wonderful voice had my eyes misty!

[RoninMugen]

Exquisite nuance. I remember that song when I was much younger and it really conjured up old visceral memories, and yours has the power to affect even the most frozen heart. Bravo.

[gabrielmurphy57]

[PurpleHoneyBear]

That is beautiful, Jay.

I love that song. A total classic that encapsulated its' time.

[sbanda7]

Absolutely amazing! I enjoy all of your videos. Whenever I have a difficult time sleeping I listen to your videos. Your voice is soo comforting and it lulls me to sleep. Thanks!

[RCycleRider4Eva]

Wonderful, Jay!

This gave me chills!

~Elissa

[rockyz82]

I LOVED this cover. That was such a coming of age song for me. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE cover an Alanis Morissette song? I'll let ya choose. But if you need a suggestion I recommend "Not As We" or "That Particular Time." Hells yeah!

[sjh3rd]

your talent blows me away!

[katchaya]

(gawd the public is a pain in the ass isnt it?)

[whambamram]

[GyrinidaeRex]

I'd never heard this song, but I think you did a wonderful cover of it :D Your piano skills are coming along nicely, even if you do have a big head. It's ok - I have crooked teeth. We can't all be male models.... Then again, wouldn't you rather have a brain than be aesthetically perfect? ;)
