#73 Hugh Coltman - Nature boy

[330marty]

What an amazing rendition!!

[TheHeldenzeitlerin]

LOVE it

[ilgrecoxxx]

Mistaken something between fools and kings ;)

[potjemetbloemetjes]

very good!!

[djove18]

Oh my, you're soooo right Hugh!!!! This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written , and you sign it beautifully....amazing performance, very emotional....this guy reminds me of a renaissance troubadour seducing court ladies with his voice....Ooooh and what a beautiful voice he has....swoon

[goatfish08]

magic dude. incredible

[hotchris90]

I've been listening to this song for the past year or so trying to figure out the exact chords that Hugh's been playing. I'd really appreciate it if anyone would be able to help me decipher them, maybe tabulate them. I've found online the chords but it doesn't sound nearly as good as this version. I've tried using different forms of chords... but also failed. If anyone is willing and able please contact me :/ Thanks

Kudos to this entrancing version of "the most beautiful song ever wirtten"

enjoy

[M00COW3]

I LOVE IT! were u drunk when u made this? :D

[myrtokamvisi]

so so so cute..........

[Trumpetplayer60076]

VERY nice!!!

[meforg]

Wonderful man and voice, mesmerising

[darkmattersunshine]

I watched this video once a while ago, it took me forever to find it again, but it is so beautiful I could almost cry of happiness XD It was totally worth it.

[MultiSamSami]

Is it a gay song? No offense, I love this song very much and I think hugh is awsome but I just wanted to know because it's about a "boy" and "love" (I'm sorry for my bad english ><)

[TheXerhos]

@MultiSamSami

No, not really. "Love" in English has a richer meaning to it.

Kudos for "No offence". none taken. :)

[MultiSamSami]

@TheXerhos I know love has a very rich meaning and it also encompass friendship that's why I asked this question. Thanks for your answer =)

[TheXerhos]

@MultiSamSami oh any time, man :) and your English is not bad at all

[TaraHoorweg]

@MultiSamSami I'ts more like some sort of wise saying he says. when you say "Love is the greatest thing" it means something else then saying "I love you"

:)

[MultiSamSami]

@TaraHoorweg Okay so it's like a wise saying.. thank you very much =)

[TaraHoorweg]

@MultiSamSami you're welcome=)

[gravitygirl00]

I'd say he's a little more Ray Lamontagne mixed in with Horse Feathers and Thomas Dybdahl and a little less Jason Mraz.

Mraz is great and all, but he does not have the passion and soul of this man. Not by a mile.

[12Riona3]

this is a fabulous cover ! almost better than the original ... dare I say lol :)

[hotchris90]

I was wondering if there was any way I could find the tabulation/notes/chords of his version? It is simply magical

Je me demandais si ilyaurais une facon davoir ces tabulation/note/accords de sa version de la chanson? Cest vraiment quelquechose dautre...

Enjoy

[torpongwannawa]

I listened a few times and couldn't get enough. Great job done on Nature boy. Thanks.

[1desiretaco]

A very nice version, and yes he does kind of sound like Micheal Buble. Haunting song and great message. I'd like to hear Sting's haunting voice do this song.

[Stephalexis100]

I love the style you've got going on. It's like Michael Buble and Jason Mraz combined with your own style. Very beautiful and inspiring, and I like the opera in the background too =)

[ihatelumberjacks]

not a big fan of men inlove with themselves.. that's when vanity says goodbye to music..

[Snailmum]

Hugh,i'm aware of u through the hoax-ur fab!

[JulieVaughn]

This is amazing. I know mine doesn't compare. just another interpretation :)

[TheMzlala420]

THE BEST COVER OF NATURE BOY!!!!!!!!!

[ehswan]

I was 9 years old when I first heard this song in 1954 and it stopped the world for me. "THE GREATEST THING YOU'LL EVER LEARN IS JUST TO LOVE AND BE LOVED IN RETURN" is possibly the greatest lyric ever written.

[Tempest78]

This guy's voice is amazing.

[FruitTingle]

beautiful!

[DavelovesRealMusic]

wow,,someone with a really GOOD voice.....Those idiots on American Idol should be ashamed...100X better

[philippecampion]

Brillant.

[TheMzlala420]

sing to me!!!

[donoal08]

This version is simply unbelievable. It's gorgeous!

[AlmachtigeDikke]

One of the most magical versions I've heard so far. Great voice, incredibly soultouching sound.

Love this guy, he deserves it(:

[darkmattersunshine]

Does anyone know how I could get this video? Please? I would love to have it XDDDD

[Whyolin]

and the lady is singing opera in the surroundings. :-)

[redholmar]

Stevie Wonder.. voice,, good

[supersingerevan]

That was BRILLIANT. Nature Boy has got to be one of my favorite jazz pieces (or songs in general) of all time. And I love whenever someone takes a standard, re-imagines it in their own way, and pulls it off. You did just that. You have a great sense of jazz, and easily noticed by your improvisation on the second chorus, and the groove on your version is just sublime. Not to mention you have a fantastic voice, I didn't mind the accent at all. Very nice job :)

[GinTorment]

my favorite version of nature boy, EVER lol

[rezayera]

wow.....so very nice!!!

beautiful..

xxx

[Lasourisparisienne]

wow ! quelle voix... super video ! Merci comme toujours :)

[failureobject]

lovely!! just lovely!

[asilartist]

That was wonderful! Thank you. You kept the spirit of Ahbez in the piece. That is something I don't typically hear. Thank you again.

[Tempest78]

Parfait!!!!

[intaskooo]

well done ! ... I only know the jazz version of John Coltrane ...

[elintronauta]

Nature boy There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he. And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me The greatest thing You will ever learn Is just to love And be loved in return.

[smellmyfarts]

Il existe des mots pour décrire à quel point c'est ... grandiose ?

Mon dieu mais quelle voix ! .. Sans oublier un petit air à la Ray Lamontagne ! Que du bonheur...
