Ed, this was the perfect song for your voice and you sang it with so much emotion. You're such an awesome person. I wish I could've gotten the chance to hug you at VidCon :3
My choir had to sing this once, and about three girls had to leave during the concert when we were performing because they just couldn't sing it- they'd all lost family members I think. Anyway, I've always thought it was beautiful, and you just sound amazing singing it :) it's just so full of emotion, and you sound really honest. it's better sung by someone like you who can appreciate the meaning than by a group of 13 yr olds who think it's boring.
this song is suppose to be in the blues format and one of the greatest.. it dosent sound anything like the blues.. its more on the pop side.. but nice job...
I've been singing this all week thinking "this would really suit Edd's voice" and then I find this! And I'm sorry but you didn't live up to my expectations ... You just went past them and way beyond!
the song is written for the son of the singer, he lost him. It was a very sad story. Have you ever lost someone. My view is that you sing the song wit passion for music. It is so beautiful. I almost cried, just like the original.
In answer to your question, Celine Dion, Joshua Redman, Paul Anka, Aled Jones, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Steven Tyer, Josh Groban, Gwen Stefani, Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, Slash, Andrea Bocelli, Katie Melua, and Mary J Blige. Oh, and me.
@eddplant im not sure if this means your gay, but im guessing so,, but anyways just saying that twomorow im wearing purple to support the gays!! beautiful cover by the way dear :)
Thanks for your opinion. Personally, I like to try new things as far as song performance goes. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't! Such is life, I suppose :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ouuu your so smart i just think its funny how you insult people on there IQ!!!!!! your a weird looking douche bag!! honestly who gets there fucking lip and eyebrow pierced!!!! and some advice at the way use some hair care products!!!!!!!!!! and go get laid!!
you should learn the real unplugged version because that one is better the one you know does not sound good on acoustic thats why eric did a unplugged version DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! dumbass
first of all mister im so smart! your not good enough to be selling t-shirts, and you need lessons on singing! And secondly im probably one of the most popular kids at my school and among my moms buisness which is a wedding company
You are, in fact, wrong. I sing to a Grafde 5 standard, having been classically trained with the Manchester Boys' Choir. I have nearly 3,500 subscribers who appreciate my voice, my guitar-playing, and my lyrical ability. I don't give a fuck how "popular" you are, you fucking jock, and I really don't give a shit what your mom does. Come back when you've grown up.
Dont talk to me that way you british fuck!!!!! I AM NOT A JOCK!!!!! Im just a cool kid and ouu you have 3,500 subscribers! WHO GIVES A SHIT THATS ONLY 3,500 people idiot i have that many kids in my high school! AND ouu you got trained by a choir big whoop that dosent mean anything! you can still sing like shit even if you were in choir!
Actually, they had a rigorous audition process, and I would have been expelled had I sung "like shit". I'm sorry, but your argument is a) going in circles and b) not affecting me in the slightest. I just find it amusing that you still have nothing better to do with your time than argue with a guy you'll never meet.
i haven't watched all of your videos, but of all of them i have watched this is the first one that i have really seen you belt it out on the vocals. it was very good man.
this was just beautiful. i also didn't know the story behind the song, and now that i do, it makes the song even more beautiful. this was wonderful <3
I was about to write how amazing this was and it gave me chills when I noticed someone had written about the tragic story behind it. So I looked it up and... Wow. I really don't know what to write. That's heartbreaking. Anyway, that was a beautiful cover and I think I need to sit and be numb for a while.
awesome ed :) you managed to retain the beauty and tragicness of the song and it sounded so true, so many covers of this are cheesy. hope the 'situation in your own life' doesn't get you down too bad xx
A tragic story, I try not to think about it when I play it, or I might crack up. Doesn't help that I have a situation from my own life that fits this song perfectly.
you wouldnt strike me as a great singer but i've seen a lot of your songs and im just like waw. so i now expect a lot of you and i think this is probably one of your best covers vocally even if the guitar was a little dodgy. your best originals in my opinion are 'nothing to worry about' and 'hum the tune'
I definitely missed the CD announcement vid. T_T faillll.
But I went back and watched it, and I'm defff excited. Next time I'm not broke, I'll go for both the cd and the sexy t-shirt. Idk when that'll be though D= cuz I has no job.
I'm definitely checking out your CD and T-shirt. I don't know why I haven't yet because I've been watching you for a while and I think your singing is amazing.
I would quite happily order a t-shirt but I am broke for at least the next two weeks. Which makes me sad, b/c I really want the t-shirt, and I would like to get the cd as well.
amazing, just, amazing.
