Your voice is like butter, and you look like Springsteen..beautiful!

[Tabroxfcc]

This is so beautiful

[thatPinkFlamingo]

I love this cover.

[goofygobber101]

That was such a beautiful cover- had me teary eyed for a second there :b You did an amazing job covering one of my fav. Ani songs.

[TheMariababy]

i think i'm in like with you. :)

[InsomniasInsignia]

This is such a beautiful cover.

[skiingbum66]

Hmm, I saw Ani do School Night live in Philly, 2005. It made me cry. Yours got me just as close to doing so. I have an A+ boot of it as well, but it's in storage in NJ, while I'm in AK wishing I had it with me. Thx.

[jmcgr3]

Love. Love. Love!!!!! I love this!

You do this song some justice, boi! Your voice is so powerful and your inflictions are placed perfectly!

[frippiechic]

[indigotale]

great, great song and beautifully sang<*************you are soooooooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeet, especially the part where you are mistaking the text ************************big hello from Croatia

[Murderith7]

Is it whatsoever possible to play this (well) or at all on a regular 6 string acoustic?

[Halfadrop]

Not really...your strings will be too loose.

[takernotagiver]

I really enjoyed this.

[foxwoodfaerie]

Wow, amazing! I love it and I love your emotion.

[arlscharls]

i love hearing a boy sing this song.

[Daeva83B]

I finally figured out how to play this song, but what i don't get is the tuning..

I tune it like this: A# F# A# D# F# C

Especially the 'Bass' snare isn't holding his tone at all... Is there a trick to it?

thx!

Rock on!

[Halfadrop]

Hey Daeva, are you playing it on a baritone guitar? If not, that's most probably why the bass isn't holding tone :)

[mdmprz]

Oh this is wonderful!

This is one of my favorite Ani songs and I really like your rendition.

[alemonty1984]

Grandissimo!

[Daeva83B]

oh yeah, they are all right!! good stuff man! :)

i almost do not dare asking.. but uhm.. may i have the chords for the song? *blushing* hehe searching my ass off for this.. somebody said

A#F#A#D#F#C

and i got no idea what it means :p numbers please! ;) i deffinetly try to figuring it out.. so if your viewcount is starting to rise like crazy.. that's me trying to figure out the chords :p

[goldnight]

i'm just waiting for you to make it, really. and you will.

[RosalynAngel]

Holy Jesus, you sound absolutely amazing.

[1andoneis3]

[Halfadrop]

Thank You!!!

[justinsimarddotcom]

I hate to ask a funny question... but how is that guitar tuned?

[jmg1amc]

not many men pull off singing ani but you did phenominal. i loved your video. thanks for not being afraid to break the femanist barrier of this song.

[LauraLee17]

[getyourfancyon]

[distiller86]

[mana241182]

Awesome. Thanks. It's great that a guy can sing the song like this.

[nazmieh]

the last little blooper u put in at the end was so funny.lol! but ur performance was wonderful as a whole. i kinda hear a little marc anthony in ur voice and it was a very interesting mix with this song.

[JennoWA]

is there anything you cant sing mate.. your voice is beautiful... tears to the heart n soul... well done

[dethwilson420]

holy hell, you made me cry more than Mizz Difranco. simply beautiful. I'd like to think you did a really really good job with this. your guitar playing is pretty killer as well.

[duritz1989]

great job....your voice is amazing and so is your guitar playing.

[baileeshannon]

i keep watching your videos over and over your amazing!!

[Halfadrop]

:) wow, that's lovely.

[Luskanagh]

I was introduced to Ani by a very cool New Yorker and have loved her ever since. love her story about getting stuck in the airport. I really like this version of this song.

[kekoaT]

:) so good

[ifyouseeryan]

I would be honored to purchase CDs with your Ani covers. Incredible.

[gobee29]

that was amazing

[len4evaeva]

that was really something grand!  bravo

[trraci]

You are amazing!

[invdrzim]

Amazing !

Teehee, I liked the ending.

-b

[MandyOnStrike]

wow, dude.

this is fuckin amazing.

[qqp7]

i would buy your music, even if it wasn't produced in a studio. put something out there.

[nikkejg]

Wow you are fabulous. I almost liked it better than Ani since you enunciated each word.

[outofrangekerry]

love it.. please please cover Willing to fight.. would LOVE to hear it

[notasouthernbelle]

Amazing talent. I love Ani and you did her song justice. Thanks for posting!

[bewitcheddj]

Fantastic... nothing else to say, just wow.

[joslynndenny]

you are AMAZING, this happens to be one of my favorite songs. you sung and played it beautifully.

[claireismyfirstname]

speechless.

[Isaacthompson]

This a beautiful song, don't know the original but you did something special here. Thanks Isaac

[JustLikeIcarus]

i put you on my myspace to share you with as much of the world as i know...hope you don't mind...you're lovely...

[rosebass594]

wow i dont even know what to say

[Halfadrop]

Running out of words to thank you all...I'll have to start making some up.

I'm inconmensurably grateful.

For those who long for tabs...I'm sorry! I don't have them. I found them online minutes before recording this video and foolishly forgot to bookmark the page.

I guess you could look at the fingering on the video... I'll post something here if I find them again.

[rockin1nthefreeworld]

si si! tabs please???

[kurangadjar]

could you provide the tabs to this song, I can't seem to find them?

[mynamejonas]

I'm not going to lie... Ani is my goddess, and of cours I prefer her original version. :) But seeing a guy attempt this (and put his own spin on this and succeed so beautifully) just makes my week.

I wish I had half of your guitar gift.

[Halfadrop]

Thanks people. Honest to Dog, I really appreciate.

I adore this song - a little too much.

The songwriting is so intimidating that, after Ani, I can't bear the thought of cluttering the ether with my own music.

[ATokyoite]

You vaguely remind me of a young Bob Dylan with the hair and the tone of your voice, and you've definitely got a good look. You should continue on with the music but also try acting. Best of luck.

[galadriel6969]

it's only clutter if it annoyes people, non? I don't see a single, "I'm annoyed" comment...do you? now stop it and play - it's ALL good. I'd also love to see you do, "Cows with Guns" by Dana Lyons. I saw him play in a little community center in Nor Cal - awesome.

[zestygirly]

LOVE IT! (Revelling & Reckoning, by the way) like the way you sped it up a bit, now that I hear it done, feels like it needed it.... (One of my absolute fave Ani songs, btw)

[7shadesofgrey]

My favourite Ani song, it is very powerful and you captured it all. Stunning.

[theblackkiss]

Likin' it!

[catchmusic425]

This is great!

What album is this song off of?

[amysageamy]

yay!!! I love this song. you sound great. :-)

[ga512]

L'unica cosa che mi trattiene dal commuovermi è la somiglianza imbarazzante con Benicio Del Toro (che a sua volta s'è magnato il Che), ma a volte non è sufficiente. Bellissima Matan...:')

[Halfadrop]

:D Te adoro...

[FunkyBeccaBecca]

this is an excellent cover. Your voice is really really moving.

I think you really communicate the emotion of this song, one of my favs.

thanks for posting.

[lot110]

Cute

[ortoPilot]

once again pure class!

[Halfadrop]

Thank you, my pious friend.

[vamosbabe]

:)) for religious reasons, i'll save this one to my favorites ;) lol

[galadriel6969]

yes, I can tell you were rushed! It would have been a lot better had you taken your time. Still loved it though. So, do you have a falsetto that you like to use? I'm guessing you do...you have a lovely voice - use that falsetto! Love the guitar work, love the song.  More? Please?

[Halfadrop]

Thank you galadriel - but I can't sing in falsetto for religious reasons. Long story.

[galadriel6969]

ach - religious reasons? do you have some kind of BeeGee-a-phobia or something? Don't want to be thrown in the mix with Barely-a-man-nilow? C'mon....just one? Men singing falsetto is just one of the sexiest thing on the planet. (just not in the style of our Bee Gee friends...)

[jad376]

Brilliant! What tuning did you use? Would you possibly be able to post a tab?

[Halfadrop]

Thanks! Er...I don't remember, it was the first time I played the song. I think I found a link to the tabs on onherown (dot) net

[Halfadrop]

Grazie everyone - I got hooked on making bloopers for my video classes and now I can't stop. Not very professional though ;)

[slacker005]

i love this song by ani, thank you for covering it! i like how you made it your own.

[teloola]

oh man, those bloopers are fantastic.

[teloola]

yay!!
