This is simply gorgeous. I did a research paper on Eric Clapton once, and I know this song was inspired by the death of his son. I honestly think you have done justice to this song.
gah. everytime i hear you sing this song tears come to my eyes, a) because i know what the song is about, b) this song means something to me, and c) you sing it beautifully
You did an AMAZING job on this, what else can I say? i'm subscribing. 5/5 stars. This song means so much to me and always hits me right there *places hand on heart*
Really beautiful voice. You've really created a mood with the soft lighting (was it on purpose?) It's a really nice song, I think you've expressed tthe emotions in this really well. :)
im not the kind of person to leave post on peoples videos but I think you did a really good job. The thing I probably liked the most about it was its simpleness. Now adays people tend to lose sight of the song and try to gloss it over with runs but this was simple and to the point. Good job.
If u do or did, u'll eventually b one of those singers that were at there prime once. Be in it forever. Well done on this song. It's a hard one to really work with because it already holds so much meaning. U held that same meaning in a sense. Ka Pai.
wow i was very impressed with this cover actually. you did really good. alot of people try to jazz it up way too much. your voice was very relaxed which is a very good thing. very nice tone to it to.. i like the head voice in the bridge (beggin please) very very nice. i give you alot of props. keep up the good word
That was amazing and beautiful. This song was played at my 3yr old cousins funeral. everytime I hear it, I go back to that day. You did a great job and I love the video it was so moving. Thank You.
I can't even get over the fabulousness of your voice. My friends and I ran across your stuff when we found Kiss the Girl. Now we listen a lot. Do you have a CD or iTunes or anything? I would love to hear some more of you.
Funny you should mention because I'm working on that as soon as I get back to the States. More is definitely coming, even if the videos have slowed for the time. Thanks for watching, and feel free to spread the word ;)
that was both beautiful and an inspiring choice of song. i adore that piece and though it is easy to move people to tears with it... it has a positive message. thanks for your gorgeous contribution to my airspace.
You're amazing, man ! I first discovered you on this clip with your special rendition of IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU where you just blew me away. It was a lot of months ago but I've decided to check you out some more. Your rendition of JOHANNA is very moving and now it goes on with TEARS IN HEAVEN. I'm becoming a big fan of yours. Have you record a CD ? I'd be willing to buy it anytime. I'm a singer myself. I live in Montréal and I'm a big fan of Broadway musicals. Where are you at, career wise ?
Upon the many emotions this song has on me, You have now added another.Not only do you sing it beautifully, your purpose for posting this has hit a very personal spot in my heart. I just wanted to drop you a line to say Thank You and commend you on a job well done.
Dan, this is beautiful. I LOVE this song,and you perform it at its best!
I don't know how I missed this video of yours until now, but I'm glad I went through some of your old videos and found it. Even though its serious, its one of my favorites of yours.
let's really stop the not talking to each other thing soon. I miss you a lot- this is enough to tide me over, but just barely. incredibly well done, darling. miss you.
i've been a huge fan of your work for a long time now...and this really touched me. my sister is only 27 and has three kids. her fourth was due on jan 17th (her husband's bday.) but on the 8th we went in for a check up because my sis felt sick- the baby had died and had to be delivered. So upon reading your info during your gorgeously sung song, i knew that i was meant to watch this video. thank you.
Thank you for filling me in on your association with the song. Send my best regards to your sister...I know it's never easy. My condolences to your family.
I know this video isn't about you...and I love that you made it. You really have such a great heart Dan. My prayers go out to this girl and her family wherever they may be.
You are incredible. I mean seriously. Incredible. I love seeing the serious side to you. And this song really shows off the simple purity in your voice. Really excellent video. My prayers go out to the young lady and her family...what a tragedy, I can only imagine what they must be going through.
2- you're just SO damn good (which is always funnier)
but for some reason, your little face just always breaks my heart when you get serious. not to mention the always flawless voice... how do you DO that?
ok, your words just scrolled up...
wow. you're amazing, dan.
love to you for doing this, and that family for their loss.
Very nice job Dan! 'Serious' is okay sometimes and yours is for a good purpose. I was actually gonna do this song next, but looks like you beat me to it. Thanks Dan - I was supposed to have a twin but that didn't happen. :) Ciao!
that actually made me cry...you did an amazing job on this song hun...and I agree with your message, and stuff like that makes me even more thankful that i have Zachary...thank you for doing this song...we love you !!!
You are a remarkably talented, smart, honest, compassionate young man, Dan. That's how I "handle" this/you and how I will always think of/remember you. :)
good job!!! Perfect!!!

the difference between comercial singers, basic singers and theatrical singers is..
the first 2 listed are too alike.. everything is so fake. bland. ohh im sad so il put my hand to my head and tilt to the side and pelt out my voice.
but ppl in theatre/acting use thea hearts/emotions and it comes thru in thea words not in thea tone, which is so real and interesting.
u do it, as do i
and many others
