  • hmm...you're pretty good. i think you could do a lot better if you keep at it (singing :P). i mean don't get me wrong, you're really very good and you have that rockstar hair and everything xD but yea, i totally have faith that you can do more ;)

  • The shirt you have that says THIS IS HOW I ROLL with the rolls a rollin', Just wanted to say that I OWN THAT. YUP. When I saw a vid with you wearing it, i ran to my closet and put it on. <3 thats all.

  • great cover.

  • awesome cover very good...

    you voice maybe don' have the softness but i like this :)

  • o O x

  • great cover dude, i just spent the afternoon learning your version! keep up the good work!

  • Love you :D

  • Great cover. You capos annoying the shit outa me though!. Move it closer to the 4th fret, you'll get a more accurate sound. Sry, I'm a perfectionist. Other than that, the guitar playing was clean, singing was awesome, great cover.

  • Im in love with your guitar. & your eyes! People are so mean. You have an awesome voice dude. Theyre just jealous.

  • I've come to YouTube to listen to all of this stuff because 19 songs on my Top 25 Most Played already have Blue Skies written on them. As awesome as it'd look if it was 25, it also looks kind of strange. :/

  • i wanna learn how to play like you :)

    i like it

  • I'll be honest. I think this is a very good guitar cover. But I don't particularly like your voice in this song. I don't know your voice in other songs. But I think you don't have that softness in your voice. I mean, you are not tuneless but, there's something missing. I know this is a cover...but when you hear van morrison's voice compared to yours....there isn't that softness.

    But keep on! Your voice is not bad......just doesn't fit with this song. But is interesting. Just my opinion...

  • @75BSL I'd change my voice if I could, but I'm afraid I'm stuck with it.

  • @DaveFromBlueSkies DONT CHANGE IT! :D at least I love it ^^

  • @75BSL

    I understand what you're saying about the softness - I think that's more a matter of maturity and pain experienced - there's not much angst and pain. All I know, however, is that I "favorited" the video because it's better than any other Van Morrison cover I've found.

  • Oh look. There are 10 impossible to please people who thumbs downed this video.

  • seriously good cover

  • this is a truly awesome cover! it's great to finally hear some van morrison - there doesn't seem to be many covers of him on youtube :(

    i don't know if you do requests, but if by any chance you read this comment please, please do a cover of

    Brown Eyed Girl

    it would make my day!

    Becca x

  • @GnomealisciousBecca thanks! Brown Eyed Girl was the first song I ever sung live in front of an audience! :D

  • Comment removed

  • @DaveFromBlueSkies well in that case i'm very jealous of your first audience :)thanks for the reply! I tried downloading this song but it says it was removed/violated. If you removed it cool, but if not can you upload it again, cause i would love this on my ipod!

    keep up the awesome work!

    Thank you.

  • I want a shirt!!! :) brilliant xx

  • Zomg, we can downloadz it :O

  • <3 t-shirt.

  • Dave that was amazing truly, you are so talented, it pains me not to see you on a major label with the support and backing you deserve. The only thing I'd worry about is compromising your integrity, its superb and cannot be valued -

    if you ever come to America, look me up I'll do whatever I can to help ya be signed.You really deserve it- also any CD ya release let everyone know when and where, I think many many people will want it BAD

  • Ahhh who needs a record label? I got a guitar and a youtube channel, it's all good!

    CDs are on their way, and don't worry - you'll hear about them!

  • Very cool t-shirt -_-

  • I love Van Morrison and you've done a beautiful version ^^ My favorite Van Morrison song is Moondance though, do you like that song?

  • Of course! I don't know about a favourite though, that's a tricky one...

  • that was really good

  • thanks for the free download, dave (:

  • Wow Your Great :D

  • Excellent song choice, i love Van Morrison.

    sweet shirt.

  • love it, love it! and the shirt!

    oh, haha in my Graphics Class, we have to design (or redesign) a cd cover, and i was thumbing thru my itunes library and saw "In the Absence of Superheroes" so i've chosen that to do a design for. i havent finished yet, but i'm hoping it will turn out alright, considering we only have a few days to work.

  • Ha, epic win, send it me when you're done!

  • it's funny because I know exactly what he is talking about... i know when "days like this" would come true. :)

  • J'adore Van Morrison and I love this song and you!

  • That was lovely - and strangely calming !

    Where do those of us in the Blue Skies fan club buy the merchandise then ?

  • omg, t-shirt "blue skies" !! I like it !!!

  • Dave, you never cease to amaze me.

    I almost wish (but not really) that you would have a video that would impress me less so that I could actually have a favorite, because all of your videos are my faveorite

    :D
