  • @01U0

    Thank you. I've done quite a few vids on here now. Some have been quite true to the originals. Some have used the same music but vocally different. Some of them are my own versions musically and vocally and there are also a good number of my own songs :)

  • Yep, this is a great cover. Absolutely spot on.

  • @FortuneFaded101

    Thank you. I've always liked a bit of clapton.

    More for his guitar playing than his voice :)

    This one is a pleasure to sing though :)

  • perfect! wow!

  • Thank you Lea. This is one of those songs that feels really good to sing. It's more than just music and words. I saw you sing too so you'll know what I mean :)

  • Holly crap you sing?!

    its Sound SAME!

    NICE man!

    Tech me how!

  • Excellent cover man. Really beautiful and haunting.

  • Hey nice! Please check out my version, isnt anywhere as good as this but, I still tried. 5* !

  • how eric clapton turned such a tragey into a piece of art beats me, hell i'm struggling to deal with the death of my best friend

    beautifull song x

  • Thanks,I'll try this song next.

  • please can you check out my video

    and tell me what you think

    its me singing tears in heaven

    i think your really really good and would really appreciate your opinion . :)

  • I'll go over and take a look, and thank you :)

  • for reference covers usually show how to play the music

  • Really?

    I guess that makes mine unusual then :)

  • no, it just makes it not a cover

    and a cover can also be if you as a musician perform it now that i think about it

  • cover just means a cover of a song, you're wrong.

  • you are a very good singer....

    you show the exact emotion of the song and it is very emotional....

    excelent job...

  • Thank you very much :)

    I do believe in expressing a song :)

  • you are welcome very much.

    cud yu please watch my cover

    and tell me what yu fink ?

    id reeli value yuur opinion :)

  • I checked out your happy meal song. Funny stuff. Thank you :)

  • the backing music is shocking... claptons unplugged version of this is the best there will ever be. the singing is superb as always.. really heartfelt, we can tell.

    making a habit of posting on your vids now :p

  • Lol. Thank you. Yes, that version of the backing is all I could find at short notice.

  • one of the best covers of tears in heaven i've heard most covers people try to over sing it and show off their vocal tallent but loose the emotion and point of the song

  • Thank you very much :)

    I like to live a song when I sing it, and really pleased that some people recognise the expression :)

    I think you have to enjoy the song yourself, for others to enjoy it :)

  • Wow.

    Your my idol :)

  • Lol. Thank you :)

  • this is a really good cover of this song... we did it for as a vocal group last year (all girls) and it was hard to find a medium to sing on... you've done really awesome I am going to check out some of your other songs now :)

  • Thank you very much :)

    I've also heard this on a CD with a choir singing it :)

  • Inspirational. Excellent cover.

  • Thank you. It's a sad song. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost my daughter.

  • Hey Jeff, it's me again :). The first thing I do when I come on my computer is listening to some songs of you. Damn man, you're good, very good!

  • Lol :)

    Thank you :)

    I've been working on some new songs today, for my upcoming album. It's comments like yours that give me the drive to write :)

    Even though this is a cover version :)

  • Jeff I also love this song and It's one I sing also but have yet to post. Your cover is again amazing great vocals and great control 5* my friend

  • I think you should try a cover of "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley - you'd sound great on that song.

    Thanks :)

  • Thanks :)

    I think I know the song you're on about. My friend "Songvibe" on here did a fantastic cover of that.

  • Wow, well done. It's a great song.

  • Thank you very much. It's a song from one of my all time favourite artists :)

  • Wonderful rendition of this song Jeff. 5*****all the way! You did a great job on the recording and singing. LOL/GB. Ray

    It was an honour to sing this song. It's a great song by a great artist.

  • I must say that the honours have been a little less sluggish over the last month or so :)

  • Jeff beautifully done 'cover'. Certainly a song that touches the heart of anyone who has lost a 'near to heart' loved one. Thanks for sharing with us!

  • Thank you :)

    It's a very beautiful song, and it's a shame that Eric Clapton had to write it in the first place. It feels pretty sad to sing as well.

  • Wow Jeff your talent never ceases to amaze me. Great song you picked Eric Clapton is also one of my favorite musicians. Hard vocals to cover you did great *****

  • He is one of my all time favourites too. I picked this one because it is a very emotional song that he wrote from personal experience. It was an honour to cover it.

  • Just a quick visit before I wend my weary way. Not much point in reposting the Honours, it hasn't been long and there is no change. Take care darling! speak to you soon! x

  • Speak to you later :)

  • Good one Jeff. I like it. My own son Jay, as you will know, has now made it to the dizzy age of 17 :-) and I am still able to enjoy his company! Today he secured his long awaited apprenticeship. He set himself the challenge and personally visited business after business, never giving. Today it paid off. He is a happy bunny! I don't need to draw parallels. The lesson is very clear. Keep the faith and in time the reward will come. Great job. Another brick in the wall?

    Dearest Richard,

    I am so pleased to hear that you are still enjoying Jay's company and that his dreams; are finally, being realized. It gives a parent such peace of mind to know that their children are happy. Seventeen, is indeed a very dizzy age but believe me, things get dizzier, and not always for the same reason.

    To be continued....

  • Continued....

    Well I suppose I shouldn't moan, at least I haven't lost "Sight Or Sound" My shining "Son" is a wonderful reminder of their importance. Isn't it an honour to know that we are a part of the essentially inherent gift that has helped to produce the intrinsically motivated masterpieces they create!

  • Linda, thanks very much! I am getting used to my most significant role these days which is Head of Finance. This is one role which I don't see myself ever becoming redundant in... maybe one day he will take me skiing and diving? There you see, I am hallucinating now! Joking apart though, I am very pleased. Jeff is doing very well here. I am waiting for the first album to go out and then maybe I can buy my chauffeur's uniform!

  • Well Richard, I need a bigger house and a new cook, this ones becoming a bit doddery. Joking aside, I think he is doing well and has a lot to give. I enjoy his music very much, as I'm sure do many others, going by the support he receives in comments.

    I was pleased to hear that you too have a preference for "Sight Or Sound" I'm sure this is one of his best, if not the best!

    To be continued....

  • Continued....

    Good luck to you and your Son with his career and I'm sure that one day he will take you skiing and diving and hopefully you will experience the "financial bends" as a result of his success. As Jeff said, with your guidance he will surely succeed!

  • Life has a dark side as we all know. Last Saturday (11th May) I received a call from my son - he had just pulled himself out from under a car driven by a young woman who could not be bothered to do that rather basic but rather fundamental observation. His motorbike is probably beyond economic repair and he is walking wounded (minor fracture or sprain of the ankle). I am grateful that things were not worse but disturbed at how vulnerable we all are to the gross negligence of others.

  • So sorry to hear about last Saturday's events Richard but nevertheless, relieved to hear that Jay escaped what could have been like the end of your world. We are indeed vulnerable, assuming, that if we take safety precautions we will be "safe" We rarely cast a thought to what can happen as a result of another's negligence.

    To be continued....

  • Continued....

    I do so hope that Jay recovers quickly and although I have an affinity with motorbikes, the love of and empathize with the loss of pleasure and freedom these valuable possession bring, we have only to compared it with the loss of a loved one to bring the impact of its loss back into perspective.

  • The greatest of congratulations to him. Hard work often reaps rewards. Now it's all about persistence and a level head. I'm sure he will move forward with your guidance :)

  • Thank you very much :)

  • It's past my bedtime Jeff and we've only just got home but I asked Mum if I could just send you a quick message. You know I like this song, you have probably heard me singing it with the ChoirBoys but not as good as you. Love youuuuuuu*****

  • Yes, I've heard the Choirboys version. It's on Youtube as well.

    Thank you :)

  • Very beautiful Jeff!

  • Great version of this much beloved tune, Jeff. Your music is always such a pleasure!!

  • Thank you Suze :)

    I did enjoy singing this song. It's deeply emotional.

  • just awesome

  • Thank you Ben :)

    Just like your piano playing ;)

  • Wow Jeff... this is a lovely version of a song that means so much to me. The first word that comes to mind is that it is "Soulful". Your way has changed since I have gone Jeff. I can't wait to go back and listen to the songs and Videos missed. So sometime expect a deluge of comments. Just know it is all showering you with love. Horntsnest and I are doing well Jeff. But with Love and Patience and Respect on both parts... we shall get through this. I miss you more then words.

    rebecca lynn @-->---

  • Hello Becca :)

    It's good to see you here on Youtube again. Thank you for the wonderful comment. Both of you have cropped up in conversations with my mother over the last few months. I'm sure she will see your comments and reply to them :)

    I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. I didn't really doubt it. The experience is in the journey, rather than the destination :)

    Hello Becca! lovely to hear from such beautiful spirits again and to know that you are helping each other to stand. Thank you for the letter! I will try the number again and say a prayer whilst I do it. Hope to speak to you both soon. Oh and thank you so very much for being here today! xxxxxxxxx

    I can feel the warmth of your love in this beautiful cover.

  • Jeff your amazing , I thought that was a better arrangement than the original, well lets be honest all of your arrangements are better than the originals. 5.

  • Thank you very much. I would never claim to be better than anyone else. I am different in my interpretation sometimes, and I hope that it does me some good, and that it is enjoyed :)

  • nice job jeff:D keep it on...do some covers from the beatles...love me do or let it be

  • Thank you :)

    I've got a batch of covers to do over the next couple of months, so I'll see if I can put a beatles hit in there :)

  • Like Darlenewk this made me cry. It hits close to home for me but you sang it beautifully Jeff.

  • Thank you Dee-Dee :)

    It is a deeply emotional song, and one I've loved and admired for the man's courage.

  • Beautiful!!!! this song tares my heart out

    fran

    xoxox

  • Thank you Fran.

    I felt for Eric Clapton when I first heard this song. It's a big thing to share grief. He is one of my all time favourites, and it was an honour to cover this song.

  • A beautiful version of a beautiful song. Very nicely done Jeff :) 5*s from me. It's wonderful.

    Kx

Please know to see your comment here on Jeff's Videos was a blessing this morning. I love so much about you... but more so I love your warmth.

    His autumnrain, becca @--->---

  • Thank you Mimi :)

    It's a song I love. Eric Clapton is one of my favourite musicians.

  • A wonderful cover Jeff. You did an awesome job on this one...as you always do. Sad song but beautifully done. Loved it!

    Lisa

  • The meaning of the song is very sad, and I admire Eric Clapton for telling the world how he feels. Losing your own child has to be one of the worst things that can happen.

  • nicely done!...clapton would be proud!...apeman was here & enjoyed...peace

  • Thank you :)

    I would hope that he might think I did it some justice. It's a tribute of his that will live well beyond his own life.

  • Well Done :) 5 stars

    Leslie~

  • Thank you Leslie :)

  • Great job Jeff~ You know I heard Eric say in an interview years ago that he was never going to sing that song again. Did you know he wrote that for his little son who fell out of a window? that is so sad~

  • Thank you :)

    Yes, I knew all of that. I wrote about it in the video description. I thought of how he might feel when I sung the song. Unimaginable really. My daughter is my world.

  • derr ...I usually read the side thing...hehe My bad... any ways Yeah I dont know what I would do with out my kids~

  • Lol. Oh well. I can't say that I always read the descriptions of the videos myself :)

  • i been thinking alot lately like the song wondering if dad knows he has passed away and if he remembers me or if he will even remember me when i get there :o( ((((HUG)))) beautifully done Jeff

  • When your heart knows something, you don't have to remember it. You feel it :)

    Thank you Terri.

  • Good emotion...soothing...I liked this cover very much!!

  • Thank you. It's made a change from sitting in front of the camera and singing. I decided to record a load of covers, and then make various videos to them :)

  • Awesome!!

  • Thank you Danny :)

  • Excellent Jeff!

    hey our friend songvibe is kickin some butt eh?

  • Thank you Ariel. Yes, he sure is. I was doing some collabs with him early last year, before he started uploading to Youtube. He is extremely talented, and it's no surprise that he is doing well :)

  • Nice job Jeff:) Great pictures in the videe too! 5*****

  • Thank you Jane :)

    I tried to keep some relevance in the images.

  • Nice rendition Jeff ***** :o)tm

  • Thank you Dave :)

  • You are more than welcome , I hope I can get your permission to play your music in the background of my Home vids . :o)tm

  • "Ring a Ding" ::smiles a sweet and innocent smile:: Oh my have I missed just hanging out with your Channel and Videos. I was suspended under Hisuautmnrain. But Iam back with this more private Channel. I look forward to playing TAG with comments with you. I do Dave pray all is well with my Hang Out partner in crime. ::smiles:: Love this song and Jeff's versions means so much to me. Right?

    His autumnrain, becca @-->---

  • Hi Becca Ill be rite over to sub a friend . :o)tm

  • Sure Dave. Be sure to send me a message whenever you do, so that I can put it in one of my playlists :)

  • Rodger that Jeff thanks so much . :o)tm

  • I got to sing this and video response you =D

  • Go ahead :)

    It's a good song for expression.

  • Very nicely done Jeff, I read the negative articles when he wrote this, but this I believe was the only way he could say goodby to his son, and this is one of the most heartfelt songs I ever heard, I have two sons, I couldn't imagine a tradegty like that. Most excellent man.

  • Thank you Dave. He apparently drew back from performing, and mourned for about 9 months. I couldn't comprehend that sadness. My daughter is everything I have in this world. It's a situation I wouldn't like to face.

  • It may be a genetic marker within us, never to out live your own children.

  • Now there's a question for Rhonda to ask in one of her videos. If you had to choose. Would you go first?

    Either way there would be immense grief for one.

  • Best Eric C. song, great singing Jeff.Thanks

    Rafael

  • Thank you Rafael. Eric has had an illustrious career, and has written, and performed some great songs. This is one of the most emotional songs I know.

  • Wow Very Nicely done, I am in awe this is one of my favoirite EC song. Thaks you for sharing it.

    Peace,

    Allen

  • Thank you Allen. It is a very beautiful song. It's sad that he wrote it in the first place, because of the circumstances it relates to.

  • Yes the circumstances are sad like his Song "My fathers eyes' I am big EC fan in case you haven't guessed.lol

    Peace,

    Allen

  • He is most certainly worthy of your adulation. He is quite high on my list of all time favourite musicians. He is some of the 'Cream' on the top of the coffee, and he'd know about Cream :)

  • Well of Course as well as the Yardbyrds, even before Cream. I hope you remember them. lol

    Peace,

    Allen

  • I'v got a pretty good knowledge of music, along with my extensive record collection. Lol. They were having hits between 1964-66 in the UK. "For your love" was in the charts when I was born :)

  • Hey! Its great to hear to hear from you! I did a vid of Tears in Heaven a while ago if you want to see!

    be well,

    animalchemist

  • I'll go over and take a look in a few minutes :)

  • Awesome Video..man!!

    Great!!

    Thanks!!!

    daniel

  • Thank you Daniel.

  • My mom gave you two thumbs up. She is 74 and LOVES Clapton. I showed her the video. She actually said she could understand you better than him. LOL..

    Btw, she lost my dad and oldest brother in 28, 3 yrs ago. She loves this song for that reason..

  • Thanks Maria. I'm sure your mother will understand the meaning of this song more than most.

    I'm glad you both liked it :)
