waves of goosebumps flooded on my skin.....which means you did a gorgeous cover.. :) what a smooth & pleasing voice to listen to..... and the keyboard accompaniment arrangement is so lovely too..! Great great job.. x) <3

If I were Eva I'd be embracing you.. :)

[mimivk]

[kolkhidski]

fantastic you are!

[Astralturf]

I cannot for the life of me understand how 7 people could give this a thumbs down. Only problem with the video is that it is out of sync, no problem with the playing. It would also be nice to see more of the notes being played.

[AtelierLaurin]

Your piano,

[connopv]

Nice version. The song is hard to sing well...

[welshgirl43]

I love this.

Did you work out the piano yourself or did you use sheet music?

[benjamincostello]

I came up with the piano arrangement myself, but I think there is a sheet music arrangement out there that isn't too different because I have heard some others play it on the piano. For me its easier to play it by ear than read the music though so I usually go that route :)

Thanks for your comment again :) :)

[HHcentre]

i think when a men sing this song he must be a very speacial voice like sting...this voice is not bad but better for other songs...i think the easiest wayx to sing this song is with a womans voice, like eva cassidy.sry my english is bad -.-

[marieminiskirt]

Amazing.

Best cover I ever heard.

I love the way you play the piano.

[hallolechen]

oh my god! how great! best cover ever!!

[kujaeast]

ive heard almost every cover of this song thats on here....and this one is still by far the best!

[NCWMedic]

You know Benjamin there is something spiritual about you voice and stage presence. Great interpretation of this song!

[lionheart9999]

im very very slowly figuring out this version now ^^ some parts are doing my head in :P

[benjamincostello]

Drop me an email with the parts that are giving you a problem and I will try to help :)

[lionheart9999]

i will when i get really stuck =p i am about 40 seconds in its a bit tricky but i think i can manage! if not, a little change cant be two bad =]

[NeverToBeSeenAgain]

How gorgeous is your voice?

And how gorgeous is your playing?

:]

very lovely.

[Alviarin2]

This is so amazingly beautiful. <3

[lionheart9999]

[hannarofl]

Oh my. I can't stop listening to this song. I didn't like the song before, but now ... I'm in love with it :o, when you're singing it of course. :)

[hannarofl]

you're amazing. Love your voice :)

[rec15834]

Ok. I was looking for more Eva Cassidy, and I must say I came here thinking: "it wont be good, he cant sing like her"... Im really glad to say Im all wrong. Congratulations.

Ironically, you personified her so much that I started to think how you could sing it in a different way. :P

Congratulations again. Im subscribing and giving you 5 stars.

[justin1982b]

When you sang I felt that there was hope in my life. Thank you for saving me from myself.

[1Straightarrow]

People always will tell you that no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse. The truth is that things can always get better. Find your strengths and gifts and pay it forward. Happiness is a byproduct of accomplishment. Put the effort out there and happiness is the payoff. Take care of yourself dude.

[justin1982b]

thank you

[martin2288]

great video ;)

[1Straightarrow]

To me, this is the best and most a person can accomplish..an unvarnished, heart felt expression. It was like warm sunshine, the inner light of a human being shining through. No technology, digitizers, or sythesizers to cloud or veil that emanation of the secret fire. Record labels ply their pale flashlights, detached reflections of the true light. Any how, yeah, I liked it :). Thanks

[xoxpenguinxox]

*wipes away a tear*

beautiful

[MrGork]

thank you..

[lionheart9999]

amazing!

[nattynancy]

FABULOUS!!!!!!!

[quietcon]

[clareybear1987]

amazing got tingles down my back ;p

[aneliz19]

You've a soft voice, and you play very well the piano... It's nice to heard, nice to see, it's soothing...

[olimckean]

i was captivated. i really believed that this song means a lot to u and reflects how u feel about someone. a beautiful performance

[Lillyna18]

bravissimo..

[jagettainc]

Benjamin, your rendition is so moving. It's right up there with Eva's version. Your performance is so beautiful it nearly had me in tears. A very fine job. I really think American Idol would be a wise move.

[JayneMaguire]

Well, I think this amazing, darling! I was a bit wary of a man singing this, but, I mean this is totally awesome! =] Have you had any professional singing lessons? If not, you're amazing! And your piano playing is gorgeous, I'd love to be able to play like you!

xx

[AmyRoseXOXOXO]

You do know this is a sting song right?? In either case really amazing Benjamin...Just beautiful...I can't believe I just found you!Boy have I been missing out.

[tipssanjuan]

straight from the heart, to the heart. sing on!

[julesrbf]

I was hesitant to watch a man sing this song, but wow. This is beautiful. Well done.

[saxyalex]

Wow you have such an amazing voice. The contrast of your voice with the piano is phenomonal. And you play so beautifully aswell. Your one amazing musician :)

[ChristianMD82]

Wow, 5 stars!

[Priloomis]

Very nice performance!!:)

[katecraft]

that is absolutely beautiful

[ocho53]

Hi Benjamin, listening still gives great comfort, and I was 'wrong' both versions are very beautiful...a friend.

[kittincat6]

BEAUTIFUL. This Youtube thing has really opened up the door to exposing the many, many talented people out there, and closet talents we'd never get to enjoy otherwise.

It's a concert of talent, entertainment, good stuff,and/or laughs whenever I can get on the net now. Youtube is better than cable!

Good job!!!!

[beckyl99]

[benjamincostello]
