  • hate to say it but I like Andy's version better

  • this song explains everything about my love life.

  • i love your voice a perfect pitch and sooo much like your father but younger and sexier

  • cant believe ive just discovered this guy, hes fantastic and this cover is just beautiful :)

  • This guy looks like an angel.

  • BTW, he's the son of 1970's singers James Taylor and Carly Simon.

  • @rowdymax1 I thumbs downed your comment but meant to thumbs up it. D; Im a horrible person!

  • I heard this on a Sunday morning radio show called "Lost and Found" (the best music you've never heard) hosted by a Brit named Luke Crampton..it's a great show, worth checking out!!!

  • This is a great cover from someone I just discovered. Sounds a lot like James.

  • This is very good!!!

  • I'm pretty sure the office brought me here not faith.

  • Look at him staring at me all condescending like and silently judging me for not liking this video. YOU DON'T KNOW ME BEN TAYLOR!

  • I really like this !!

  • amazing cover <3

  • cheerios commercial. enough said. :)

  • Just discovered this guy. Nice! Very nice!

  • Love it!!!

  • Regardless of which version you like best (personally, I prefer this one), you have to give Macy Gray credit for writing a hell of a song.

  • Macy Gray song~~~

  • the office RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • Did he write this song.

    sounds like his Father.

  • I wanna make love tonight...haa

  • THe tone of his voice is awesome. WIthout all the studio covering

  • I heard this today in McDonalds. Almost cried.

  • @LadyBeex3 that's kinda ironic, apparently McDonalds does have good tast when it comes to music, but the thing they sell, food.... not so much:P

  • Very true the Taylor family is Awesome:))

  • I like this song regardless of it being in the office. Who gives a fuck where it's popular from, good music is good music

  • WOAH, woah , woah , wait...

    This was used in the Cheerios commercial.

  • it needs to be longer :D

  • Any body called sir fails a lot shouldn't have a girl friend k!

  • i played this song to my girlfriend. infront of my entire school. everyone was so happy for us. ^.^ love you annie.

  • I love Macy Gray's version, but this is simply amazing! I'm speechless!

  • looks a bit like ben stiller at first

  • @freddie871 yep, ben stiller meets dr house ;)

  • I searched for this song right after I heard andy sing it on the office. He's better than this.

  • Why can't anyone sound as good as Andy?

  • his voice just melts my heaaart<3

  • a beautiful rendition!

  • I love this song very much. Its an amazing song. Its awesome because my name is the same as his. Awesome Song!

  • i love this song nd his voice :)

  • songs like this sound so much better when done in a really simple personal way

  • the chorus i <3

  • The Office brought me here :)

  • @shaygahweh me too!

  • @shaygahweh Why The Office? Which chapter?

  • @larosadecobre S6E20 :D

  • is he the son of james taylor? very similar guitar style

  • @bBudKeene from hearing the intro on the cheerios commercial I actually thought it was James Taylor because of the guitar. And yes I googled it and he's James's son.

  • 13 people didn't try

  • Macy Gray's has grating vocals and I hated her song more though I had to listen to her on the radio like a bad road accident. Ha until I heard this much better version just now. But let's not forget a lot of greats have so-called bad voices like Neil Young or so-called average voices like the Replacement's Paul Westerberg that are better than so-called great voices, at least it counts in rock music. Vocal splendor means nothin' w/o a heart behind it (my smug grating comment).

  • This version is good, I always liked the lyrics to the song. However, Macy Gray's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. This version is nice and I would like to hear more versions of this song sung by people with nice voices.

  • @MrTpolich andy ftw!

  • i love rap, its my type of music. But this song is good. Really good.

  • Hysterical that all the top quotes are voted up by idiots who watch a particular sitcom. Be nice if people focused on the music and not their lame shows.

  • @funerallord you should probably watch the office before you call it lame

  • @sremmusyt i agree, her version is much more unique and her voice has a certain quality that makes this song. but i do like hearing different versions of this song, especially a male singer

  • he's fucking hot!!!

  • macy's version is much more spirited.

  • Best version is what Andy from The Office sings.

  • @immot88 i just watched it and i agreed! love his version! XD

  • @immot88 yes.. I think so to0

  • @immot88 hell yea

  • @immot88 I can't find that one anywhere, any idea if it's on Youtube?

  • @Jakesta43 I can't find it either now, must a been taken off

  • @Jakesta43 I uploaded it to here watch?v=bcj6PHWWov0

  • @immot88 your so so right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @immot88 I agree, and can I ask, do you know where can I find his version?

  • @joshrocks11 sure, check watch?v=bcj6PHWWov0

  • @immot88 thats exactly why im here

  • @immot88

    It's not on youtube is it?

    I can't find it.

  • @immot88 No it is NOT.

  • @sremmusyt you disagree as in you think it isn't rare, or this isn't better than the original? or both?

  • Try todd rundgren or barenaked ladies Ben. works for me,ps there are others

  • So Cool...................

  • Such a good cover! and Cheerio's!

  • Awesome.

  • Not at all better than the original. 

  • @MarcoArends Shows your lack of taste roflmao!

  • @Dragonfaire this dude just tries to make a nice guy version of someone else's song. Macy rules :)

  • You know who this dude is right?

  • lol it's OBVIOUS the son of the great James... the voices are awesome like father like son

  • love :)

  • top! love it! : )

  • the original has more soul.... no offense to ben

  • @delkitten I would have to agree. Good job to Ben, nonetheless.

  • @mynutzrhuge Lol...Epic Troll fail.

  • @mynutzrhuge Solid trolling.

  • I loooove this cover.

  • He sounds alot like his dad but different

  • @gitttyone There is a quality to his voice that I can't put my finger on which is very James Taylor-y.

  • best cover in the world!!!!!!!

  • Soooooo Much better than Macy's version. I love this dude's mellow tone. He does his dad proud.

  • Very cool and easy cover :)

  • i hate macy gray's version!

    she sounds like someones choking her! this one is so much better. :)

  • i like this version way better

  • i love this song! and this version

  • ben....have your wicked way with me pleaseee :)

  • idiot

  • So lame that this is in a Cheerios commercial. But goddamn, what a talent, what a pedigree the man has Carly Simon and JAMES TAYLOR.

    He totally takes this song in a different version from Macy Gray's.

  • honey nut cheerios.

  • He has the same R&B sensibilities as his dad.

    Excellent Work Ben!!

  • My granny was looking for this song for so long she loves it so much. I finally found it for her and she cant stop listening to it :P

  • In this picture he looks like he has GIGANTIC hands! LOL. Look at the size of them compared to his head. Incredible voice, regardless! I really love this version better than Macy Grays original.

  • @NewWorld0dour EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA WRITE! nice, and so true
