  • IMO you should have chosen a song like "Angels" by Robbie Williams instead because this song is not about the passing of a loved one.  I don't think many people have actually read and understood the lyrics of this song.

  • @darthzinvader our late cousin's brother asked us to do this because she loved the song. i'm aware of the lyrics.

  • @chriscole6 I tried making my comment in objective way btw - truly did not mean to offend. If I did, I apologize.

  • Very touching

  • Sorry guys for your Loss (just read the video description) - my condolences

  • @makebank93: i thought hotsteeze was gay till i finally checked it out

  • nailed it.

  • Don't forget about all of us when you become famous! :DDD

    Just awesome Chris.... :))

  • Very well done.

  • damn i finally landed this. logged it on hotsteeze . com.

  • gefällt mir sehr gut.......super stimmen.....schön gesungen.....bravo...

  • nice!

  • he has a great voice, but does he really have to ruin it by singing in "boy band" style?

  • @darthzinvader It doesn't seem like "boy band" style to me. His voice is just naturally soulful and very light.

  • @DefWish how much did they pay you to deflect that? Go play a backdoor boys song and you'll hear it.

  • @darthzinvader I'll hear a backstreet boys song if I play a backstreet boys song. Synthesized drums, bubblegum-pop lyrics, and an imitation of the classic R&B voice.

    If you just mean his voice sounds like he's going for a Stevie Wonder or Otis Redding vibe, I say I see zero problem with it. It's a matter of taste.

    And really? "how much did they pay you"? "Backdoor boys"? Can we just enjoy the music now?

  • @DefWish thats the problem, I am unable to enjoy the music because they are singing it in Boyband style, certainly not Redding or Wonder. You need to listen/hear their music again! I am allowed to have my opinion, and according to me, that boyband flavor has ruined the song. It should be kept where it belongs, it low quality bubble gum semi-music made for 12 year old girls.

  • You guys are AWESOME.... I love this Leonard Cohen song, and you do it beautifully. It's especially difficut to sing while sitting, instead of standing.... :o) 

    I'd love to hear some more of your songs.
