i adore this song and your cover is amazing. love your guitar skills, and the subtle beauty to your voice.

[VampireAddict101]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!

To Be Alone With You is my all time favorite song.

So I can be kind of picky with the covers.

But I LOVED this cover! Best one I've heard.

Your voice is amazing. :)

I could see myself falling asleep to this.

[joeburton77]

thanks! sweet dreams ;)

[yourahoe1]

I got teary eyed.

[devilishdollie]

your voice is very nice :) great job!

[JesseWateredDownLove]

Your voice is absolutely stunning...

Great job :]

[fluidicspace623]

lyrics of love

[yellowbug1232]

this cover is the best ive seen, but of course, you can't cover someone like sufjan.

[robinasruby]

greatness.

[starsareshining]

I think you're really good <3

[1thefallen]

No offense, but for me, this song cannot be covered.

I love most of your stuff, its just that this song holds a meaning for me than I didn't see in this interpertation.

Nice musicality though.

Thanks =)

[joeburton77]

thanks for you comment.. i know what you mean about this one - it seems sufjan only can convey the lyrics, sentiment and message of this song!

cheers

joe

[tfer717]

yes..sufjan does give you something extra in this song. Almost as if his voice was another instrument. But i think if anyone can cover it...joe can, and he did it superbly well!

[1thefallen]

Oh no worries I had no intentions of bringing Joe down. I think he is quite the musician. Its just that this song means something to me.. and I'm starting to think thats because only Sufjan knows the story, therefore, only he can represent it the way I associate with.

[GeorgeMaj15]

I so wish I could see your left hand; all the other covers had a note off in the third or fourth chord and you don't; I wish I could've seen what you did differently! Amazing sound, by the way.

[joeburton77]

the 'to be alone with you tab' at the ultimate guitar website is pretty much spot on for this song! thanks for watching

[tueybooo]

the strumming is just wrong

[hollykainz]

To see clearly how Sufjan plays this, check out the "Danielson Family Movie". Almost an hour into the movie, Sufjan performs the song, and you can see his chording.

[GeorgeMaj15]

Thank you very much!

[die2live353]

you should make a tutorial of this song. and then i would love you forever (:

[joeburton77]

the 'to be alone with you tab' at the ultimate guitar website is pretty much spot on for this song!  thanks for watching

[theXdoomXsong]

Dude, this is totally rockin' :) Absolutely stellar performance.

What chords did you use?

[joeburton77]

thanks! the tab/chords at indie guitar tabs is about right!

[101tedster]

wonderful job. excellent voice.

[IMABBALLPLAYER]

Awesome. Thanks for wonderfully covering one of my favorite Sufjan songs. You should cover a John Frusciante song. That would be awesome.

[simon271088]

Yeah, this is a really well done cover, a rare find on youtube. Nice one!... Do Seven Swans now please? Ha.

[joeburton77]

I've done it already! :)

[ruthg10]

wonderful cover, I share your addiction.

[leeortz1]

Another great song and great cover. I think this is great. I sing at night for my son to help him sleep sometimes. Wonderful job.

[klmjdj]

Pure and raw, is there something better than a guy, guitar and a voice? No technological musical mastery...just good! Well done and thanks for your rendition. Really appreciate your talent Joe. I could listen to you a lot.

[buzzpupster]

This song helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I wanted to THANK YOU for a great job! Your voice is very unique-- comforting and warm-- very original. Sorry, I can't put my thoughts into words. For now, thank-you very much--I hope to hear/see more from you very soon. -Ken, Indiana USA.

[joeburton77]

my pleasure Ken! always pleased that my music is appreciated - the very best of all wishes for the festive season!!

joe

[Wolfparade51]

You are joking. This is my favorite song by Sufjan Stevens! I don't have this one. Just the song. (Come hear the Illinoise is good too thought ;) )

Great Job!!

[joeburton77]

[Cdrix4]

[joeburton77]

[Mnebesny]

[aggiedee]

I know what you mean by "Sufjan Stevens addiction"!!! It's very easy to develop one :) Keep going with it, sounds awesome!

[Leadingnorth]

I can't tell you how good it was to hear you sing that song!!

[twinklefrufru]
