yeah closer to Jeff than Van, but thats in no way a criticism. Great vid mate, and I find it a shame that you didn't take more credit and show your face- you've got a lot to be proud of.
...also I've been doing the final chord in the sequence wrong so I'm glad I came across this, sounds much better!
Is that you Paolo Nutini posting vids anonymously, because it sounds like you? Beautiful cover anyway mate if it's not. I sing this in my band but will have second thoughts after hearing your version!
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.
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!
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...
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. :-)
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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 !
really sweet. Guitar Playing should be just a tiny bit faster // try Besides You next. And my my my sweet thing should be faster. OK who needs to hear this ? .. a very nice job.
I love your voice. The guitar playing is nice too. I take it from your video description you did both the bass and melody line for the guitar? Nicely done. Maybe someday I'll here you on my radio...
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?
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!
Okay you see I actually listen/watch once a day and it really pleases me to see how many views this has had in just a few days... This must surely prove just how good this is TA, cap No 639 you are brilliant xx
I just want to cry when I hear this.....please do another soon, and make a CD so I can buy it and listen all the time!!!
