[thewritester]

I've listened every single cover of this song, and I'm completely sure that yours is the BEST.

[bob0s062]

I used to work around the corner from here at Molly's.

[rxrhapsody]

Hey. You have one hell of a voice. Have you considered signing with a label of some kind? A single interview can change your life.

Awesome performance! I was looking for Van's version as well, and totally loved that I hit your version by accident.  You had me at the intro... great guitar/great vocal! Can you hear me clapping all the way from Texas?

[1johnlangford2]

[FullMoonVideo]

But I must add…can you write like this? That is where it is at, above and beyond performing someone else’s tunes?

[1johnlangford2]

@FullMoonVideo Please check out my original compositions and let me know:-)

All the very best,

john

[FullMoonVideo]

@1johnlangford2 I have done that and sent you a message...what took you so long to respond about this video? internet access?

[1johnlangford2]

@FullMoonVideo Life!

All the very best to you,

john

[FullMoonVideo]

This tune is a classic…well done…Very well done !

[buffspringfield]

Been back a few tmes great job man

[1johnlangford2]

@buffspringfield Buffalo Springfield, have you checked out my rendition? Love those guys.

All the very best to you,

john

[1johnlangford2]

@67toshi2 All will be washed away soon enough I suppose. My items don't necessarily matter with the exception that they helped to support my physical life & filled me with a bit of hope & enjoyment. The judging as depicted in John 16 Holy Ghost has been a bit tormenting, what this lifetime has been filled with. Society & it's means are in contempt of itself. In Hell you will find a great deal of aspects of society, such as material possesions, abuse, fear beyond anything that is comprehensible.

[rithas777]

Wicked, unusual that somebody can make such an impression with a Van morisson song . *****

[1johnlangford2]

@rithas777 Thank you very much.

All the very best to you,

[buffspringfield]

[solstice7294]

@1johnlangford2 my hometown and they didn't even stop to listen to you!? great performance!

[colorxoxmexox]

i've heard 3 versions of this song (well, maybe 4 - i'm kindasorta recalling an elvis costello version too? i'll find out) --- the original, john cougar (i'm an '80s kid & he'll always be ``cougar" to me, lol!) mellencamp's, and yours. i love each, but yours is my favorite. one of my most favorite songs ever - *thank you so much*. and i use it in a story...perhaps i'll be seeking your permission to use it in a movie one day. :) (wish me well on that!) wishing you well, ~krikit

[1johnlangford2]

@colorxoxmexox Thank you very much. Have at it my friend. Best of luck to you,

All the very best,

john

[afc007]

@colorxoxmexox hey, John Cougar the original. Wake up!! This song is all Van Morrison. He wrote it, didn't he?

And I don't think anyone ever did it better than he did. Check out Tupleo Honey, the album on which it was first recorded.

John Cougar. Make me laugh .

[colorxoxmexox]

@afc007 dear afc007, - i know THREE versions: 1) THE ORIGINAL (van morrison, who, i've always heard, composed it) [COMMA] mellencamp's [COMMA] and this version. i love each, but this happens to be my favorite. always happy to clarify! have a great day!

[hutch18407]

You nailed the vocals dude! Loved it.

[vallerie481]

Wow! Simply amazing! Not a lot of people get Van but you do. Can I marry you? lol jk Oh what city was this filmed in?

[vallerie481]

Wow!! I love this!! Not a lot of people get Van but you do! Can I marry you? lol jk I thought I heard you sing, "Waco, come on out and dance,"? Was this filmed in Waco, TX?

[vallerie481]

Wow!! I love this!! Not a lot of people get Van but you do! Can I marry you? lol jk I thought I heard you sing, "Waco, come on out and dance,"? Was this filmed in Waco, TX?

[1johnlangford2]

@vallerie481 Thank you sweetie. San Diego darling. "Waco" is a misinterpretation only because I did not say this. Quantum speaking there's a reason you heard what you've heard. Are you from or in Waco? Metaphysically in & of Quantum "Waco" could be understood in many ways as all physics certainly apply in & of yourself. I hope you are well & thank you for the flattering comment.

All the very best to you,

john

[blues917]

Pretty GD good, John!

[1johnlangford2]

@blues917 Thank you very much.

All the very best to you,

[finlaytown]

Well done man....as an Irishman....you did this song justice! So what no one stopped...that adds to the poetry of the rendition and the visuals associated with the song....'the girls dressed up for each other....the boys do the boogey woogey....everything is so complete, when you're walking out on the street....as we would say in Dublin...Deadly!

[1johnlangford2]

@finlaytown Ferocious! Lol!!! Love your comment. Very intuitive. Go Irishmen GO!

All the very best to you,

john

[joelok48]

Like most comments, I just can't believe anybody could just keep walking by when you are singing this song. I would have been jumping up and down and trying to stop them. "Hey people STOP you're missing something great here!" Geez, I'm just sayin'....

[1johnlangford2]

@joelok48 :-) Proof were living in the land of the dead. Thank you for your comment.

All the very best to you,

john

[jbyrdman49]

@1johnlangford2 how about some bio info so we can really reach out and touch ya?

[1johnlangford2]

@jbyrdman49 What would you like to know? This current life? Previous life's? Heaven? Hell? Quantum Physics? Metaphysics? Numerology? Extra Terrestrials? Original Commandments? Forbidden Tree of Life? Musicology? Gear use, performance, studio? Key point to singing? Audience performance? Psychology? How I create suns? Wormholes? Time travel? Intuition? Telepathy? Please remember, religion is organized crime & dogma. There is no religion nor religious in Heaven & won't ever be.

All the very best

[ModernSaxDotCom]

great!!

[1johnlangford2]

@ModernSaxDotCom Thank you very much.

All the very best to you,

john

[lcmtvbreath4]

this is one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard. I love the way you sing the last line of the verses. You make a nice distinguishable step down in the tone where most people just cut that last not short like Van. Anyway... excellent job!

[lcmtvbreath4]

@lcmtvbreath4 spelling error! i said "last not" instead of "Last Note" ...

[1johnlangford2]

@lcmtvbreath4 Thank you very much.

All the very best to you,

john

[sparksy1008]

[fight2Bfree]

I suddenly thought of this song out of the blue and came to YouTube

looking for the original but was even more pleased by your cover.

Thank you!. If I was walking by you would have got a resounding round of enthusiastic applause and whatever I had in my wallet would have been donated.

[1johnlangford2]

@fight2Bfree Thank you for your kind remarks.

All the very best to you,

[Airrachet]

I"m you

[alpo]

Van would like your version too. At least the passing Zombies did not attack.

[1johnlangford2]

@alpo Thank you. Oh but they have from time to time. You wouldn't believe some of the crap I've seen & have gone through for just playing music on the streets for free. The worlds a mess.

All the very best to you,

john

[cobraschlange]

Just a very fine job. Wonderful voice. If this had been the original version, it would do very nicely. I hope it is, that performers such as this man earn their respect among the dvd buying public,and they are given widespread exposure by record labels.

[1johnlangford2]

@cobraschlange Thank you so much.

All the very best to you,

[rbe6f]

This guy is Awesome!! Is there an actual version on youtube? I'd like to compare the two but I think I'm just going to keep listening to this one!

[1johnlangford2]

@rbe6f Thank you very much. It's always a pleasure to hear such comments. Mines kind of a cross between John Cougar Melloncamp's & Van Morrison.

All the very best to you,

john

[jbalderson65]

Check it! I can't believe people didn't actually give this guy the time of day.

[1johnlangford2]

@jbalderson65 Isn't it amazing, just soulless. Busking on the streets is tough man, it's not for the weak. Gotta do back flips & shit! Lol!!! Back in the day early 2000 I could make $300.00 in an hour. When that video was done I was only making around $120.00 in 3 hours. Still fun though. I loved the challenge & wasn't doing it for the money. Got sick of doing clubs & what not. Playing on the streets is playing to creation, nothing like it. Will do Louisiana this summer, see how that goes.

[hushcolours]

It's been a while since I've listen to this.

One of my favourite songs.

take care,

José

[1johnlangford2]

@hushcolours Thank you Jose. I like your art work.

All the very best to you,

john

[lusteeluva]

What is wrong with some of the people just walking by? They don't know good music? I would have started dancing holding my lighter up ;)

[4rainbowed]

This is INCREDIBLE! I like it better than the original (looking back and forth nervously).. don't hit me folks, but I really do! Where do you play? I suppose you make decent money busking! This is better than that though!

[jumpyourbone]

this is a pretty sweet cover. where was this??

[1johnlangford2]

@jumpyourbone This was in San Diego, CA on 5th street.

[lllKristenlll]

Rob Pattinson loves this song!!

[geishagurl7]

You're very talented. I agree, you should come to New Orleans.

[1johnlangford2]

@geishagurl7 I'm planning on coming down this summer. I'll try to let you know once I'm there. Thank you so much.

All the very best to you,

john

[sevndustlj]

where was this taking place? i've gotta know! those ppl just passing by, not even stopping are fools! great stuff!

[MrMovieJunkie]

wow jesus sure plays a mean van

[1johnlangford2]

@MrMovieJunkie Thank you. The truth isn't that difficult is it! I'll see you in the next life, 5th cycle, possibly Heaven if that's your choice. Be careful, the worlds in for a hell of a ride. As I'm sure you know. As always, yours truly

john/jesus

[1johnlangford2]

@MrMovieJunkie Who would have guessed eh! Thank you for the comment.

All the very best to you,

john

[Mariekesone]

Jesus!..Now that is some bad news John...Bah!

Lou Reed once said:" you can't even trust your own mother"...

I assume you are in the Land of the "Free" again and building up a Life....

Still got that beautiful guitar...surely that was attached to your body whilst they took your other gear???...

Be Well and Hope Spring is upon you...Take Care!

Much love, Rineke.

[ma1979ramalho]

Hello from Sao Paulo - Brazil !!!!

[Hanggaz1]

Fantastic!!!!!

[krussman]

amazing, man!

[frilb]

John, I hope you got a great gig 'cause you are so good. Great timing, solid voice, man can you play. You are an artist. I told you this over a year ago when I first heard you sing. You deserve more respect than a bunch of fish walkin' by and "passin' by in wild wonder". Keep going!

[johnnyrockintalkin]

the man is on fire.........and the people walk by like they don't hear a thing???? it's like the truth is right there staring them in the face and they can't see it..........they don't want to get dirty except for one guy that hollered out.......... hey, i'll put some money in the hat.............

[gards2]

@johnnyrockintalkin Sad isn't it.

[countrynuno]

great performance

[Reizermo]

Good job man!

[hempoilsoldier]

great singer

cool strings

[Mariekesone]

I know he is Great!!...Wish i could come down personally and buy one of his CD"s....;-)and i wish he would return to You Tube..i miss his input and presence..;-(

[1johnlangford2]

@Mariekesone Hi! I missed you as well. Almost all my gear was stolen. I moved in with a bastard who set me up & got me incarcerated for 9 months. The police acted wrongfully & not just when they arrested me. American cops are out of control. I did nothing wrong. Over $100,000.00 in gear & personal items gone and they left me homeless. The police helped the guy to steal my stuff. The man who did this to me is a convicted pedophile with police involvement. Sorry for the bad news. With Love, john

[icehouse69]

That was great!! I was waiting for some cheering at the end. Cheering for you from my home!!
