I love the part between 0:00 and 6:13. Literally, even the post song message of I Believe In Music and the other piano piece you had going were fantastic! Wonderful job sir!
This is the first video of yours that I ever saw. And for years, I've constantly gone back to hear it again. It hasn't lost it's beauty. It will never get old. You're so talented. Thank you for gracing us with this beautiful cover. <3
You kind of sound like Jason Castro, but of course, I like your vocals better. This was a very honest rendition, the most honest of all versions I've heard.
wow.... Aj your my idol. you have inspired me to chase my dreams. when i leave college i want to go to Berklee just like you. its a long way from New Zealand but if thats what it takes to follow your footsteps thats what it takes! thanks for everything. Chris
Mad skillz AJ...this song sounds great on the piano...do you think you could do a piano cover on Foo Fighters "everlong". They did a acoustic version of the song on their greatest hits album. This will be your next challenge.
i give you props for not just slapping on the studio recording to the video with special effects to make them sound good. you just have raw talent, thumbs up to that
well its about dang time.... i've been looking around youtube for inspiration in my upcoming cover of this song... i've tried finding someone singing a little like gavin degraw's version... really bluesy... i like this piano version better... great job man... lol get a chair that doesnt squeek
where did you get the music for it? did you learn it by ear or sheet music, cause i have my own version of it that ive kinda done by ear basically but i like this better:P
that was brilliant but on 0:45 you kinda went outta tune on the word "this" . maybe you did it intentionally . but yeah , still amazing . keep itt up .
my favorite song ever and u made it even better! u put so much hard work in this i bet! you should audition for american idol you could win!!!!!!!!!!!!! ILY <3
i adore this song almost made me cry!! that never happens to me! i play the piano and u are so much better. right now playing it ends tonight bye all ameican rejects still needs practice! i want to learn this song next this song is so beautiful!
i like to see myself as a tough guy, but this song made me boo hoo like a little girl..
my grandma passed away and this song made me think of her :)
i am a established musician but very rarely do i hear ppl in the business put as much emotion into songs as you do. your an amazing singer and a godsend to some.
fantastico amigo e visto muchos videos de esta cancion y el tuyo me encanto por la interpretacion con el piano y la pasion que le pones a tu canto en verad un aplauso y felicitaciones.......
im your biggest fan.can i get ur autograph?also if i die before you or i ever meet you in heaven or on earth if i die i will watch you from above.if i meet you ill probably faint lol.
so good i say I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much that thats not near enough of what i just said.BUT RAWR I LOVE THE WAY HE DOES THIS SONG I LIKES MORE THAN AnYoNe AND I MEAN AnYoNe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and also why you beat so hard in the middle of video??? but i <3's this song and <3 means love.Hallelujah god put you on earth!!!!!!still not enough of my lovness of the song
you need a less squeaky chair.
