  • I like how you made it yr own! Breath taking voice! Loved it!!

  • So wonderfull!!!!!! YOU HAVE A WONDER VOCE!!! =) like like like like!!!!

  • Your voice brought new meaning to the lyrics, and the melody was beautiful as well. Bravo!

  • Wow! Good job(: ur amazing!

  • Besides having an amazing voice, I love the tempo you used and the emotion you sang the song with. Brilliant job!

  • Brilliant, I love the shine throughout the song. Under the sadness life goes on, and a new hope emerges. A calm and elegant version/Thanks

  • I'm doing this song as one of my performances for my HSC at school, and in order to do it well I have to listen to different covers and see how each performer has kind of taken it and made it theirs, and I think your version is absolutely beautiful. Well done :)

  • your cover of this song has been in my favorites for years now...beautiful...i just adore your voice!

  • I have this on my iPod, and it's my most played, I adore it. <3

  • this is actually beautiful, your voice is gorgeous! you taught me how to play this also, thank you so much!

  • your voice is amazing! your testicles must be in your chin!

  • nevermind....didn't read the rest of the comments. awkward.

  • i don't think that person was trying to be a gaybasher...i think don't even think they knew you were gay lolz. they even complimented you. pretty sure if they didn't like you being gay, they would assert that on a harsh level.

  • i keep coming back to this...very amazing.

  • yay! i luv this song!!! :D

  • your voice is cool. I like it:)

  • I think this is the best cover of this song :)

  • amazing bro

  • Gorgeous.

  • how professional! congrats!

  • thumbs up for you man! i am searching for a good male cover of this song and i found you! good job!

  • I'm in love with Regina Spektor. I'm in love with this song. And when I hear your cover, I love it more = You win a place in my iPod.

  • Well, this is pretty much the most emotive thing I've ever heard for free.

  • So amazing!

  • Mr Matthew, how come after all these years I still come back to this video sometimes?

  • Comment removed

  • I heard this song and made a cover for it in grade 10,not really knowing what the lyrics meant. then I looked up the interpretations and honoured the song.

    Thi summer has been troublesome and I returned to this song realizing how relevant it was to me. and I'm back listening to your cover again. you're beautiful! :)

  • Sad to see these comments on such a beutifull video. Epiphonearchtoplover you clearly don´t know any homosexualls. Maybe you shoulld. As for the other comments. Dont meet anger with more anger. Never solved a thing.

  • I've always loved this song and your version is beautiful!

  • the guy who lost you is a loser.

    I could listen to you singin' all day long, all night long.

    marry me *_____* LOL

  • This is about my fourth comment on this video haha. All of them are the same; you're beautiful! And I'm so happy to see some recent activity going on, your YouTube account seemed dead for a while there. Anyway, keep making videos. :)

  • @epicphonearchtoplover : your a fucking idiot.

  • goosbumps...^^

  • @matthewlukesandoval, you are amazingly talented!!! I'm sure you will go far. And as for the guy posting about you being homosexual, all I have to say as a PROUD HOMOSEXUAL FEMALE is he made one of the most ignorant comments ive ever heard and I will be praying for him. Just from two posts I can tell you are more of a man than he will ever be. Stop the hate people and rock on brother . Much love <3

  • I don't understand why people make stupid comments which have no relevance. Gay or not this guy is amazingly talented!! stunning! well done mate

  • Why isn't he famous again?

  • An angel just touched me.

    Inappropriately.

  • this is really good best one i see on youtube.i see you enjoy the music and the feeling great job greetings from belgium

  • i fell in love... amazing :)

  • OMG! amazing !!!!!!

    

  • fantastic!

  • Very good job!!! i like your version!

  • You're very talented, thank you for sharing!

  • Your cover is beautiful as well as your smile, but the song is so sad that your whole happy look kinda conflicts with the whole mood of the song. Still, this is quite beautiful. :)

  • @PandasRampage101 i hear you -- i find the song to be more bittersweet than sad. it was a good love while it lasted.

  • @matthewlukesandoval

    off topic but it's good to see you're still around, any chance of any new covers in the future? :)

  • beautiful!!! love hearing a male cover this song. it's still so lovely and sincere. great cover!!

  • I love the interpretation of soft and loud throughout the song. It flows so wonderfully :)

  • I never get tired of this version of Samson *two thumbs up*

  • Thank you for this :)

  • Okay, this is lovely. Best cover of this song, period. And really, people, wouldn't you rather just enjoy the music instead of raising points that your homophobia has drudged up?

  • It sounds too gentle for me.

  • Nice!

  • Great cover! Oh ffs does it matter if he is gay?!!! get over it homophobic idiots.

  • @Londonguy028 I rather like the fact that he's gay. ^.^ lol. But yeah. It's music. This sounds kinda bad, and its not meant to be, but its not the person who sings the music that matters. It matters how you feel it. Jussayin'. :3 I liked your post cause I'm a creeper like that.
  • i think this is beautiful and i dont think it sounds gay ya ur singing about a guy big woop doesnt mean ur singing too a guy u are amazing ! and u have emotion people die to have :)

  • @VonRutabaga are you seriously asking that??

  • The emotion you put into this... It's so enlightening. Amazing. Kudos to you <3

  • omg s0 sexi

  • I didn't think I would like a male version of this! but I DO!

  • Omg I wanna marry you! are you gay? come to the Netherlands :) I cat sing back to you but I got a lot to offer! :P lol joke but your voice is amazing!

  • This is adorable. xD

  • @EpiphoneArchtopLover why would i change the lyrics to sound less gay when i am gay? you are very wrong if you think i was not fully aware of what this song becomes when sung by a man. if you have a problem with who i, or anyone else for that matter, loves, then, please, be my guest -- block this channel and find your music elsewhere. it's 21st century dude. time to grow up.

  • @matthewlukesandoval Perhaps you should inform people that you are homosexual in the description so that they don't waste four minutes of their life? Gay people are the scum of society. Grow some balls.

  • @EpiphoneArchtopLover

    First off. You are an asshole. Second. Why the hell should people have to advertise their sexuality as a warning? That is just fucked up. And in my opinion, people like you who spread hate and discrimination are the scum of society. The world would be better off without that kind of attitude.

    So I suggest that YOU go grow a set. Bastard.

  • @FinialyFinished HAHAHAHA!! You opened your statement with an ad hominem attack?? That instantly discredits you. How is what I said "hate and descrimination"?? All I'm saying is what is right. Being gay is wrong; if it was right it would also be seen in nature. deal with it.

    Pa. Have fun getting fucked up the arse tonight mate. Cheerio.

  • @EpiphoneArchtopLover Homosexuality has been documented in over 1,000 species and my attack was hardly ad hominem because I wasn't attempting to negate the truth but stating an opinion, something you, fuckwad, seem to think you're entitled to but no one else is.

    And like your closing statement about getting assfucked isn't ad hominem?

  • @matthewlukesandoval "why would i change the lyrics to sound less gay when i am gay? you are very wrong if you think..."

    As a fellow gay male and fan of Regina Spektor I must say that reading your reply to that bigot left me with a wonderful feeling. Thank you for putting this up, I enjoy listening to men sing songs like this because I also realize what this song becomes they do. You're my honorary hero of the day. Best wishes. =)

  • @matthewlukesandoval Don't listen to him, obviously I see it doesn't bother you as much as it could. But who am I to interprete text? You are beautiful, handsome and quite utterly talented. I love you very much. You can go places. :) People can love who they want when they want, how they want, but just as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, it's acceptable. :)

  • @matthewlukesandoval I like your songs, and I am not gay, but I even like the cover you did of Chris Garneau. You should do another cover. I would like to hear you do a version of leaving song or my all time fav.. Baby's romance by him..or just anything.....Just be yourself! I have been watching your videos since 2005!

  • amazing!

  • This is one of the sweetest things I have ever listened to, Your such a great singer :) Thank you.

  • i think my insides just melted.

  • There's so much passion here. Maybe the first time a cover made me cry.

  • i like to sing along with this

  • i like to sing along with this

  • marry me?

  • This cover makes me melt. That's why it's on my iPod. :3

  • oh, really really nice voice!:)

  • Your voice really moves me.

  • It looks like you haven't, though I think you could attempt an original song? write something, you have an amazing voice, and you cover these songs perfectly, I especially like your version better than Regina's (opinion)

    but just saying,

    a simple request from a loyal fan :)

  • Wow, that was amazing. Thank you <3

  • You are awesome ! Love this song !

  • i'll definitely marry someone who can sing this song to me with your voice. <3

  • @shesablackleaf who knows, he might be gay? And that's OK. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @jmtims07 , believe me i caught the reference. thats what the whole freaking songs about. but a dude singing another dudes name/telling them to come back to bed is pretty homo

  • @kokirikid48 Who gives a shit?

  • your voice makes my heart melt

  • LOVE THIS COVER! <3 <3

  • One of the BEST versions of this song I have EVER heard! Thank you

  • @macavitymacavity I SECOND THAT ! AMAZING !

  • now i have goosebumps. You're really good.

  • and hey I love the way you smile while you sing :))

  • glad to hear a version that was not so high pitched xD :D

  • 10 times better than the original, and you look very good too! ^^

  • Beautiful voice; reminds me of Cat Stevens. The world's at your feet....take it!!

  • This is incredible. And the vibrato is amazing too. Seriously try American idol. You would win. Oh, and cool room :)

  • This guy is fantastic. I don't really understand how a guy can sing Regina Spektor this well... It's just not possible... Until now. I can actually listen to this song like a legitimate cover of this song, the first time it's actually been possible.

    You have serious talent man. Thanks for sharing your amazing voice on youtube.

  • A little to much vibrato but other than it was very good. Keep up the good work.

  • This is wonderful! Keep up the great work, your voice is so moving. :) You look like you really enjoyed singing it and that's what I look for!

  • This is wonderful! Keep up the great work, your voice is so moviing. :)

  • That was beautiful!

  • Omg, you are soo good!! :)

  • Wow. Love the way you smile while youre singing :O

    really great cover.

  • bro you should say samantha instead of samson, and replace all the "he's" with "she's" just so it doesnt sound like a little dude on dude action (unless youre into that, which is all good)

    i also say: samantha came back to bed, told me that my hair was "rad"... when i cover it

  • @kokirikid48 obviously you missed the biblical reference to Samson and Delilah...it's kind of a large part of the song. I don't know much about the Bible, but I know that much. Replace Samson with Samantha and the song is pointless. There would be no point in recording it.

  • absoulty amazing lol. took my breath away

  • i will marry you bro! ur great... ;)

  • Ever tried American Idol? You'd get in hands-down.

  • Awesome Job! I normally don't like covers, but you rocked this one! Kepp up the amazing work!

  • wow good voice! keep singing

  • Absolutely beautiful! Iv never heard such a wonderful rendition, be it male or female. You had me watching til the end and begging for the next line you sang :)

  • Beautiful! Just breathtaking rendition! You are very talented.

  • Alright haters, I feel a tear comin' on, so fuck ya...This dude is the shit

  • @huffindicks247 are you kidding? This is a brilliantly talented singer and that all you have to write? You need to grow up. lol

  • @jnunnzzz

    haha, yes, yes i am kidding. i love this song. this cover isn't my thing but that's okay.

  • beautiful

  • beautiful job kind sir.

  • ...too much vibrato for my taste

  • So damn good! 

  • omg, greaaat !

  • Very well done. I think its very hard to give a song so well known in certain circles justice. you didnt just give it justice, you knocked the ball out of the park. Good job :)

  • Best cover of this ive heard, ever! Congrats. What a voice!!

  • you have an incredible voice..i love the raspiness. you deserve to be recognized.

  • @ilovepets93 what raspiness? try Nirvana or something

  • Wow, i never read the description.

    that is so romantic, and sorry my friend

  • omgggg, WTHHH, HOW THE HELL DOES FRIGGING JUSTIN BONE HEAD GET FAME, JUST BY FRKN TALKING INTO A MICROPHONE?!???! MEANWHILE THEREZ OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE MILLIONS AMONG HIM? THIS GUY SHOULD BE FRKN FAMOUSS!!! I LOVEE HIS VERSION WAYYY BETTER THAN REGINAS :P

  • Why yes, I did cry when I watched this. You didn't?

  • i want to marry him. :)

  • So I saw that you were a guy covering and automatically assumed it would be bad just because Regina is so perfect with this song. However, you sir, are amazing. Thank you for proving me wrong (:

  • out of the guys singing this song, you're the best.

  • Please Mary Me?

    So Serious Right Now.

  • oh my god, better than the original and i love R.S :)))

  • incredible!

  • great, really impressed!

  • good job man

  • You need a record label...Maybe ELLEN can put you on hers!! Good luck MLS!

  • Beautiful! And I agree with MrHoldenM... except that you had me at 0:10 seconds in. :)
