Great job!! You have the perfect voice for this song. Great guitar playing, too...plus you're cute!! I'm practicing this song right now and planning to post this as my second Youtube vid. :-)
great voice dude, but no this is not a Ben Harper song, its peter Garbriel and all of these videos on here on youtube keep posting clips of Jefferey Gains who does an acoustic version of this song, Stop being confuseed. Ben Harper does an original song called Happily ever after in your eyes.. Not the same song...
u dont know Harpers stuff very well then do you. he most definitly sings this song ive got him on dvd singing it. maybe u should change your user name, to notarealharperfan1977
Yeah I go back and forth with the strum pattern too when I play it. Haven't quite nailed it down yet... It's because it's sort of like a reggae kind of chop strum and then on the D parts it speeds up ... When I play it I find my strum pouring over into one or the other .. It either sounds too Reggae or too patterned when it's a mix. Only been going at it for a couple weeks and I'm sure it's ok, I'm just a perfectionist.
yeah your right, its quite tricky to sing and strum at the same time cause the singing is sort of unusually placed.but i gotta say, you are good but maybe you want to be a bit mroe gently with you singin on this one?

Ben Harper DID sing this song. Peter Gabriel wrote it and made it a hit, but Ben Harper's cover is also excellent.

This is a song you only play if you can sing it, fortunately for you.. you can, but me.. not so much, I can strum the chords all day though

It's actually a cover of a cover. Peter Gabriel wrote the song originally, and I am covering the Ben Harper version of this. Sorry for the confusion.
