  • Impresionante...

  • Van would be jalous :p

  • almost better than van's. wouldve been better with a stand up bass =]

  • Not to be negative, but that voice and guitar you people are hearing in this vid., belongs to Jeff Buckley!

  • @FrejaStellaIsabella ? ! ? ! ?

  • Great version

    

  • One of the greatest home-made music videos on youtube.

  • I usually never even consider listening to cover music on this site but I decided to give this a chance.

    After hearing this I feel so compelled to tell you how exceptionally amazing this cover is and how much I appreciate your posting it.

    Please don't stop posting and as a side note... you should be seeking someone to help you get your music... (be it covers or original) out into the open.

    I would buy this as a single.. ALL DAY!

  • Me again, I know things are tough at the moment, but give it a go pick up that guitar and give us all a treat

  • oh my god.

    Repeat, repeat! Love it :D

  • Your voice sounds just like Ben Harpers, it's kind of creepy. PS I love this

  • :).........wow!

  • great voice and beautiful and warm sound of guitar...I´m dreaming...

  • den som hadde kunna å spilt gitar!!!!

  • Hey there, I really love your voice and the sound of mix is beautiful. I was wondering if you do any of your own stuff, or if you have anyone write songs for you? I write songs and I would love it if you could cover one of mine. Obviously only if you liked the sound of my stuff! Let me know if you want to hear it. I'm going to try and put a couple on youtube soon. I just want to work out first how I can record it so it sounds nicely mixed like yours do!

  • what chords are you using in this song

  • what chords are u using in this song?

  • Comment removed

  • Tsk! That's not you singing mister! That's Jeff Buckley!!!

  • .......why cover your face? I think you might already be known!!! your voice is too pitch perfect!!!...amazing cover thought!

  • in my humble opinion this is hands arms and legs down the third best version of this song. thumbs up if you raise your glass to this young fella

  • nice. better than i expected.....oh and one minor thing i'm curious about......isn't the F#m skipped in the chorus?

  • nice. better than i expected.....

  • good job man

  • Beautiful. Simply wonderful.

  • awesome sound...i am impressed, really! the guitar sounds so full, rich and balanced...did u record it with that mic only?? tell me all ur secrets^^

  • you have such a good voice

  • From the soul surfers in the sweet surf islands of the Philippines, on a blue ocean against tomorrow's sky, may we say your rendition is DYNAMITE and we don't know why...

  • nice job brother,  you have a gift.

  • AMAZING !!!

  • wat a big phony

  • @marshidon why? what makes him phony??

  • dude you should totally cover astral weeks, its a belter..

  • Just love this! Heard it for the first time on a video of rob pattinson pics. Rob also sings but is a bit shy so he is sticking to an acting career for now. I looked up Jeff Buckley's live album as you suggested it was pretty awesome. So any chance you'll have a downloadable version of this? I like your version best. :-)

    Not your typical audience,

  • some of my favorite lyrics ever,,,,,you bring tears to my eyes man

  • i love this so much, youre amazing.

    i got goosebumps this cover is fantastic.

  • I've loved this song forever and when I came across this version I was convinced it was Paolo Nutini! Had a look at the blurb and your Mudfootball vid and now convinced it's not - great effort!!!

  • One word...OWNED!

  • Amazing - truly sweet voice more please more!

  • excellent voice! Your putting so much in to it...

    If Van had a voice like this, he woulda ruled even more than he did.

  • Lo haces realmente bien,

  • Amazing and addictve

  • As for Van Morrison covers.... would love to hear you do a cover of Crazy Love, or Reminds Me Of You, or Brand New Day . I know they would sound amazing with that voice of yours....oh heck....all your covers are amazing, lol.

  • Hey man. Amazing job! You sound a little like Ben Harper, which is a huge compliment! Enjoyed the cover.

  • I love your version of this song. I am a true fan of music...singer song writers...and Van Morrison. And I would have to say next to Astral Weeks there could not be a better version of this song. You obviously love it.

  • If you had more covers of Van Morrison...or songs of your own I would def listen to you. This is nice. Not an easy cover with just a guitar and a vocie.

  • this version is even better the jeff buckley's cover, which is saying a lot!

  • no me canso de escucharle :)

  • W.O.W.!!!

  • Vans the man. I can put the album "the common one" on the turn table and then I'm real, real gone man. Great cover.

  • I'm a huge buckley fan, and really like morrison. you're great, mate. best of luck to you in all your endeavors haha :)

  • mate. your as good as van and buckly :D

  • Awesome performance !

    Wish you great success.

  • So much soul in that voice of yours, truly wonderful. Van would be proud.

  • @MetallicAddict15 Yeah, but is that you Paolo Nutini singing and posting on the tube as an anonymous dude? Sounds so much much like you, but if not, well..what a beautiful cover of a beautiful song anyway.

  • nice

  • where or how can i download and play on my ipod? love, love this version

  • sorry, but you weren't playing the guitar!

  • @folanm your a fucking idiot!...and a jealous BITCH!

  • @folanm I didn't write this. I don't know how it got here, cause I think it's a great version!

  • holy wow..... melded the two best versions.... Awesome!

  • this is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. I have never commented on a youtube video but nothing has compelled me as much as this beautiful voice singing a beautiful song,

  • wow ..the "man " should be ..privaleged to hear this version............a tribute at its best........ dare i say ..better ,yes ,better cause its my fav song..my funeral song..an this is just haunting x x

  • Superb cover. Even better than the original, and better than Buckley's one also. :) Quiet and ease... You have a very beautiful voice and émotion, congratulations !

  • Wow..Fcking great cover version..was looking forever..found it!

  • Here is the joy . . . I came upon "Sweet Thing", your version by a simple twist of fate . . . as they say. Listen and shared with my dear beloved who happens to do a midnight radio show and he wanted to find the artist and play this version. Are you interested in letting some of the world know who you are?

  • Beautiful.  Very inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this!

  • ripper :)

  • So unbelievably beautiful. You are a hero.

  • Absolutely breath-taking.. such a simple song, but sung with such emotion - well done. And agreed that your version, though a replica of Buckley's, it is much better!

    Keep them coming.
