  • Gavin it would mean the World to me if you would look at my cover of this song. I really wanted to play the piano for it but I just couldn't manage to pull it off.. but either way i am a musician and you are a inspiriation! I hope you can see this comment! If people could thumbs up so Gavin could see this that would mean the world to me. Much Love,

    -Vincent.

  • OMG! Most beautiful song I've ever heard. Sometimes I have to cry!

  • You should do "Coming Home - Dallas Green"

    I think you would be able to pull it off really well, with your voice, and the piano :)

  • Woah.

    My heart just teared up a little bit..

  • #Amazeballs xxx

  • What a wonderful voice you have! Wow, makes me cry! ♥

    Keep it up!

    Best Wishes,

    ~Sab

  • Your music is truly breathtaking, your voice, performance, everything. You connect with your audience & that's what music should do. This song brings tears to my eyes for many reasons.

    Thank you for this AMAZING cover.

    I play this song every night <3

  • I love, this song... you just made me love it even more.

    Thank you so much, you are great.

  • it make me cry and i think a lot with this song. ♥

  • gavee me goosebumps, this is so precious ♥

  • This is just so beautiful. I hate it because it made me cry. -.-

  • Can you post a tutorial of this? I love the piano to this! You're voice is beautiful <3

  • I am usually not a big fan of covers (especially songs that are quite personal to me) I have to be honest but this, this I fell in love with. Beautiful.

  • I think you totally encapsulated the meaning behind this song. Thank you :)

  • if u were to lose ur voice i would would probablty cry even more than i am right now :') <3

  • Your cover is always the best version to me! :) Such emotion and heart, even the original version doesn't carry this kind of feeling! BRAVO!

  • Gavin i just wanna say your one of my inspirations as a songwriter :) the way you transfer your emotions into the words of a song is just unparalelled. So thank you for making me wanna do and have the courage to do what i love :)

  • This song is wicked. He executed it way better than death cab.

  • While I'm generally not a fan of covers of this song, even if I like the artist, I like this one. Not as good as Deathcab, but close.

  • Holy shit

  • I don't hav any words for u, gavin. And that's a good thing. I choreographed a song to this and everyone loved it. But now over to the viewers, if i get 20 likes, i will do my dance for the talent show if i get 50+ likes, i will sing this song for the talent show.

  • @jumpingpenguins101 Do what you love. Don't base it on peoples likes, cause then it'll seem that you are just desperate to get likes, and no one likes that.

  • @jumpingpenguins101 dissapointed? :P

  • can't stop listening(:

  • Not very often do I come across a piece of music that can send me into a trance. As soon as this started playing I was sent into a world of memories. I had never thought of life so deeply before. This is more amazing than Thank you for covering this song, you're an amazing musician and deserve to be told.

  • Nice cover!

  • wow. completely fucking beautiful.

  • ...You know what... I wish I had your voice and talent... I would love to sing this to the girl I love... and just make it as amazing and beautiful as you have... thank you so much.

  • man this is amazing. great, great job. beautiful. i want to work with you one day, when my vocals get better, my lyrics get better and my abilities on the piano mature fully. that's a dream, but one day i'll achieve it with all my fave youtube artists. thanks for the inspiration, dude. peace. keep at it! god blessed you greatly!

  • Imma cry dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever been exposed to for 10 seconds.

  • I love your arrangement :)

  • i love both your version and the original :) i can't stop hitting repeat! <3

  • haha, one day i heard the original song in the radio, my first thought: what a bad and ugly cover!

  • Click the snowflake.... (:

  • Thank you for making me feel warm and cold at the same time. Thank you, for turning winter and candles into something special again. Thank you, for singing a song so beautiful that I don't even want to know the original. Thank you, for being here on youtube, so that I could find you, even though I wasn't searching for anything.

    I really, really thank you ♥

  • thanks an for making your songs free. it means a lot your not trying to sell your amazing covers and originals and that you want to let people enjoy the magic, it means a lot to me because i have no money or income and i put your music on my old mp3 player and they always make me smile, this song was the first of yours i heard and i instantly fell in love with your voice and style again thanks alot man, your music means a lot to your viewers

  • Really nice cover. Press the snowflake for added effect, lol.

  • I will always maintain that this is one of the very best cover videos on youtube: great production quality, beautiful arrangement, and one of the most moving performances I've ever seen. Really well done, and thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us,

  • A beautiful human spirit.

  • i got goosebumps listening to this version! hehe!

  • I like artists like you; ones that give the time to get back to their viewers. That a lone makes me feel like you're a good person. You have a special voice and a way with the piano that makes at least my heart warm (even being a guy and wanting to up hold the "macho" reputation, I did almost cry :) I'm shocked you aren't a big time artist :o Keep up the good work and I'll be sure to keep my ears close by :)

    -Jacob

  • I don't really like this song, but when you sing it, it's sooo much better! You have such an amazing voice!

  • "Beautiful" is not enough for us to say, what we feel when we listen to you..

  • Dude, You're freakin good, bro. That first part makes me think about my bro's that died in the war. I felt so guilty about being alive. I still do. Life goes on, huh?

  • Your voice is so amazing! This is so beautiful<3

  • wow this is very good.

    to someone out there(you know who you are)* if you were reading this, i'm always here so give me a call. i'll be waiting.

  • SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I was looking for a guitar version of this song when I first stumbled on your video...gave me chills:) ..and I LOVE harmonizing to this song too btw...Your version that is....you sing with passion, and it really shows. If you're ever looking to do a 'collab/ potential harmonized version of it, let me know! :)

  • I just felt like I should let you know your version and feeling to this song REALLY touched me. My grandmother (who means the WORLD to me) is getting older and talks more and more about her funeral and how she wants me to sing at it for her; I used this version of my favorite song as a base to learn and grow off of and I played the piano and sang for her as an 81st birthday surprise in front of a crowd of people. I cried while I played and my grandma told me she had never been so proud.

  • That was amazing, im not just saying that either. your covers really make me feel what your singing. Thank you for being so good.

  • I would Like to thank you for posting these covers that sound so pure. I enjoy how much of your heart you pour into it and make it personal. It is good to see people like you in the world.

  • I just cant believe how nice this song sounds in the piano, I play both piano and guitar and never planed to play this song in piano but it is so awesome, please never quit of doing what you love the most (this) i really hope you keep passing feelings in such an easy way.

    Greetings, Diego.

  • When I first checked your channel, a lot of comments where full of "tears, chills and awesomness". I smiled, because this are always the standard-comments. Later I enjoyed your music and thought you were a talented artist. And then today, today I started crying. I swear that I don't cry usually when I listen to videos on Youtube. But I read your comments and it was nice to get the feeling that behind that nice voice you're a good person, too. You're making me happy. Thank you. xoxo

  • @TheIeroween welllll... your comment just made me smile, Theleroween. :) Not only were you really cool to say those things, but even more so... I'm pretty sure you and I share the same 'twinge' of cynicism (which makes your comments all the more poignant to me :) Honestly, if you even sought out this song in the first place (no matter the version), in my mind, it puts you in a rare class of people who really get... just... life. Thanks for that.

    Again... smile on my face. :)

    Gavin

  • @gavinmikhail I think you just made my day. A little bit of my day. Yeah, again, there's a smile. I like the rare moments when you've to smile even if you don't know the person who made you smile. Now I feel understood, even if I don't understand myself sometimes. Keep it up. I like it how you can make me sad with your music and happy with your comments. Maybe I'm just weird. :)

    Marie

  • This is great!

  • Rare gems are considered precious because they are an unusual find. There are beautiful common things too, of course, but we treasure the rare ones. That is part of what makes your music so exquisite to me; it's the ideal that everyone hopes to acquire when they are mining for great art but few ever encounter. Simply inspirational, Gavin; thank you for giving us this.

  • youre amazing

  • if a try to read my coments...:) hope that understain me.. is the only thing that realy mather;)

  • nice song, You are a verry grat artist?? is obvious, definitely yes, u have the real artist essence, something real,

    about multisiege

    if u get close inside something that u can not live with, u have to release, change the emotional way but never the feelings, if wee dont understain to that "somebody" we can not help, and if u ignored is possible that after is to late to consider that.

    that why the right decisions are the heart decisions, you just need to listen to approve to your feelings

  • nice song, i am one of thouse persons that i always try to be nice with the people til y know him inside, i am a person that i percove verry eazy the felleing of a person, i can get verry eazy in the skin of another and feel how is him, thats why i have days that i dont want to see nobody, are days that i try to help the inside problems of the others persons, but i get down to sometimes, but nothing in the world can be stronger than me, know inside people is not always a magnific expirience

  • Great music its helping me through a tough time right now. I feel your music on levels that I have never felt before. Great job man!

  • It make me so mad how younger kids get discovered when they aren't that great. But in the real world there are so many people ten times better than they are that deserve to have some fame.

  • IM COMMENTING TWICE BECAUSE I WANT TO MARRY YOUR VOICE!!! :')

  • You can apologize to my now prickly legs for the cold chills. Haha. Just kidding.... this is totally amazing!!

  • Mister, you are truly amazing! . AMAZING. This is just.. fantastic, so touching, so moving. IT gives me chills and I just wanna listen to it all night long. :')

    Thank you for putting this on YT and sharing this. It really fills me with... I don't know. I just feel it deep inside. You're... wow. :')

  • jesus goosebumps all over, this is amazingly beautiful

  • hands down...you have the best version of the song(for me)... this is really touching...it really makes me sad...and i added it on my favorites!!!

  • Keep making more of your stuff Gavin. I've always liked the feeling I get from your music and the way you turn music/songs into something emotional and almost tangible. Every time I listen to your stuff, I am always speechless. Good luck in everything man. And keep it up! :]

  • The song touch my heart . My memory :)

  • My wedding song................. <3 I will follow you into the dark sung by Gavin Mikhail <3 Thank you for making our song so beautiful and perfect

  • 幹,絕曲啊!!!

  • I have friends all around me who want to die and are going through awful depressed times. I dedicate this song to them because I will follow any of them into the dark and if you would like to help the fight against suicide and bullying please visit Share a Smile, Save a Life<3 on facebook run by me. Thank you everyone and I will follow you into the dark because all of you are beautiful<3

  • Chills. Goosebumps. Tears. Whatever, you're amazing ! (and I wonder why I didn't discover you much before today)

  • So much better than the original. You have an amazing voice!!

  • Back when I was in high school, my band director always talked to us about the different types of musicians. The bad, the good, and the great. The bad don't care how their music sounds, self explanatory. The good play well, and their audience will enjoy it, but it is not a unique sound or a unique interpretation of a piece of music. Then, there are great musicians. Musicians that make their audience feel the music, as my director put it. Feeling the climax of a song, feeling sadness, or joy, or

  • @992adk Ok... I can't see the end of your comment beyond 'or joy, or' but I'm HOPING... you're putting me in the category of musicians who make you feel something. :) If that's the case... thank you for that. I swear, the artists who move me are on this... just... stupid high level in my mind. And if I somehow make you feel something even close to what they make me feel... that really does mean the world to me. Thank you for that.

    Your comment made me smile, btw. Thank you. :)

    Gavin

  • This is amazing! Better than the original for sure

  • WOW, is all I can think of to say.

    I'm very very moved by this.

    One of the few times I think a cover is better then the original.

  • This song brought me to tears. Made me think of everyone I've lost in my life. Thank you, really, you don't know how much this means to me.

  • This was the first song I heard of yours, and it made me sob like a baby. Now, a year later, I still cry when you sing :')

  • Lovely! And brilliant how you're getting fans (like me) here on the Youtubes! I wandered over here by way of Ben Gibbards "I Will Follow You Into The Dark", and wow, what a fortunate mouse click was that! YOU ROCK! Okay, not literally...but you know what I mean, I hope. Thanks for the free download! Can't wait to play it for the whole family this Thanksgiving/Christmas.

  • Gavin, I'm blown away by this. You are extremely talented and I am quite jealous. Keep up the good stuff man.

    Matt

  • The way you play this song, is incredible.

  • Definately better then the original, Amazing Voice :) Im not as talented being just a dancer but this is amazing, yet unfortunately tell you all the truth I think Kurt's Version is better :) anyway long live all of you talented Youtube Singers!

  • @GavinMikhail After hearing this and your song "God In This Moment" I decided to learn piano. I've played guitar for a few years, but you inspired to really pursue music. You made me know that music was going to be my life. Now I'm currently learning piano, ukulele, and upright bass. Thank you so much for you music.

    Yours Truly,

    Brady

  • I've heard this version so many times... but this time im not sure why, but i cried and i feel like everything was lifted off my shoulders. <3

Its so amazing :') I especially love your cover of the only hope for me is you because thats me and bfs song :) And (Don't tell MCR ;) lol) But yours is better!! Every song you cover is better than the original one! Thankyou for being alive and singing!

    -Mari :) <3

  • I can't stop crying.

  • Yeah I just fell in love with you.

  • @yackyy you are such a fag. Nobody cares

  • @Sundcown You are soo alone, perhaps nobody cares about you.

  • Kinikilig ako sa kantang to. Sobra. :"> Ewan ko kung bat ba. Haha

  • I saw someone made a cover of an amazing song, i klicked on it. I heard your voice, I subscribed. No more shit.

  • Hey. Would you mind giving us a look at your piano score for this song?

  • This is so beautiful, the sound of his voice makes me want to cry.

  • This song was chosen for a theater play my best friend plays in. it's romeo and juliet and it's played in the last scene, where both of them are already dead. it is beautiful for that.

    you have an amazing touching voice. isn't it funny how music can bring out so different emotions in people? i was reading through a view comments on this video and so many people wrote down there stories and memories. with this song being the thread that holds it all thogether.

    love your version.

  • Hey Gavin, one of my friends, at school, killed himself yesterday. He was 17 and was one of the happiest kids i know. I have decided that as a tribute to his family and to all of us that were close to him or even knew him I would make a video of your song. I chose it because it captures the feeling of the mood the school was in today. There were no classes because people couldn't control their crying, including myself. It's terrible that anyone can get that sad. Please remember my friend. DD

  • @multisiege I'm so sorry you have to go through that, multisiege. You and everyone in his family... your school... seriously, that's never easy. I'm honored you'd choose my version of this song, and for whatever it's worth... things do get better. Yeah, I know that sounds cheesy and glass half full and all that :)... but I promise it's true. Hang in there.

    Gavin

  • I don't know how about you guys, but I'm hearing angel voice.. :)

  • @e151413 ~hey there- angelic is the exact word I used for his voice- it's nice to know somebody else is thinking on the same page as I am....so very true though!

  • i dedicate this song to my late girlfriend

  • I don't cry often lately.. and i needed to. thank you for this incredible cover. it helped me through a really tough decision i needed to make

  • I was in a bubbly mood until I heard this. I teared up. No... It did not make me sad or upset. It was just touching and so beautiful. Now I just want to drown myself in such soulful sincere music. Continue creating such amazing music. Truly talented.

  • this cover defies gravity

  • My color guard is doing this for our show this year. Our director played it for us today, and we turned all the lights off when he played it. When we turned them back on, everybody had a really sad face, and a couple people were crying. He wanted this year to mean something to us. Our show is about life and death and the line between. :(

  • that hurts so much, to hear that... i never cried so much...

  • is this in the key of Eb?

  • @TheFreddyist yes

  • WOW! There are not many covers that i enjoy so much that I close my eyes, smile, and get chills like I did during this one :).

  • i want to give u 1.000.000 thumbs up :x

    

  • Can you please, please do a cover of 'Defying Gravity'? <3

  • You Really Did A Amazing Job On This . Your Voice Is Amazing And You Playing The Piano With It Just Completes It. I Hope You Take This And Turn Your Gift Into Something Big. I Believe This Song Says So Much, And It Explains Alot Of People's Life's. Great Job!

  • Really explains my life right now :) thanks for such a powerful cover!

  • Ohmy, your voice is amazing.

    Thank you for this beautiful cover!

  • You really make me cry, and you are so inspiring to me.

    thank you for make me feel like i'm special in this 4;34 minutes.

    iloveit.

    sorry, if my english is bad, im dutch. hahaha.

  • i lost my best friend at 13 in a war, i heard this song, and im balling and smiling remembering his voice all the time, and fumy how i was in a catholic school with him and the nuns use to hit us, and 1 day she told georgy and i the same sentence fear is the heart of love. i didnt care at that time, this is just perfect the way you sing it is perfect. thank you for bringing back the amazing memories.

  • Well... you're better than death cab... lemme know when your going to be in Pennsylvania because I want to see you live.

  • I love this song. Its probably my favorite ever since my boyfriend told me to listen to it. Its reminded me of my dear pets, who I miss so much. They are still alive, but so far away from me. I get emotional whenever the lyrics "there's nothing to cry about, cause we'll hold each other soon" play, I always start crying.

  • Your a great singer but its not just your voice which is great but the emotion you put into it, only very good artists can do that and you did!

  • AMAZING!!! KEEP SINGING!!!

  • goosebumps. amazing. you have such a gift. thank you for sharing it with everyone :)

  • Gavin, thanks... This somehow tied into how I feel about my father.. he left me alone a long time ago, I can't explain how it the songs ties me with him... But in the end ( whether he did right or wrong) ill always follow that man into the dark ....

  • Honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

  • Dear Fellow YouTube-ers, This is you tube, not an open casket. Go share your feelings with @GivesMeHope or some shit.

    Sincerely, NoOneGivesAShit.

  • @MrZandyJooce Dear MrZandyJooce, this is youtube, anyone can post whatever they want, as its a pretty sensitive video, people are obviously going to post sensitive things, and they are free to do it...

    Sincerely, GoFuckAway

  • @afirocks100 Dear afirocks100, "GoFuckAway"? What the fuck?

  • @KhaosCorporation haha, dunno, first thing i thought of :P

  • I fell in love with this version when my husband (fiance' at the time. We married last Sunday.) deployed. He often leaves for random periods of time because he is a pilot, and this time is no different. I sit alone again, remembering through your incredible voice that I'm with him, if not physically, than my spirit and heart follows him wherever he may be. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent. I won't even listen to the original anymore. This brings me to happy tears every time.

  • Hey,did anybody notice Justin Bieber has 180 accounts ?

  • id really like to play this to my girlfriend, can i get a sheet from somewhere?

  • OhMyGod. Thank-you. You have a perfect voice. You are SO talented and have a great choice of music ( My Chem- Only hope for me is you). I <3 it, and you! Mary Me! :) x

  • are you an elf?

  • @tvold1414 I can only wish that question could be answered one day.

  • omg thank you gavin. i sang this to my girlfriend after a year of broken up and i still loved her and couldent get her out of my mind and for some reason she loved it and took me back. the way you sing it i tried and i guess i did it good! ur just amazing and my favorite cover is give me a sign.thats my favorite song :D ur freaking amazing! i will spread your musical talent!! - brandon charbonneau :D

  • Stunning unique voice, very heart rendering :)

  • This song reminds me so much of my great-grandparents who passed away two years ago. They were married for 68 years. My great-grandfather passed away on October 25 at the age of 92. My great-grandmother (who had severe Alzheimers) passed away exactly 5 days later at the age of 93. I had taken a picture just a months before and I snapped it as soon as she said (while looking up at him) "I'd follow you anywhere" and she did exactly that.

  • The last time I listened to a song that so pulled my heart that I began to weep, unbidden, it was when I heard Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah.

    Thank you for this.

  • Played this on piano at my bestfriends funeral Monday. Thank you so much for a beautiful cover. It was his favorite song.

  • the first cover that i like...i'm very picky with this song but you did it brillantly...the only one who ever did! respect <3<3

  • I wouldn't really see this as the type of song that sounds good on the piano, but you make it sound goood;)

  • don't like is voice on this one, the piano is cool though.

  • Dear GavinMikhail, you really made me cry listening to this. Your voice, the way you sing it as if you really mean it. I have recently lost my aunt because of cancer. I was very close to her since I was small. Listening to this makes me very emotional and memories of me and her keep replaying in my mind. I loved her so much. I still do. Hope she's somewhere better now :,)

  • @mintygum48 Thanks so much for saying that, mintygum. For whatever it's worth, I lost my aunt when I was young too (to cancer). Although I can't say it changed my everyday life drastically (as it has for yours), it was the first time I'd dealt with that. And, yeah... it's a strange experience, isn't it? Ever since then, it's become more and more clear to me that... we aren't here all that long, and we'd all better make the most of it.

    Live hard, love hard... be who you wanna be :)

    Gavin

  • love is never fail..

  • BreezyRulez, after i read your comment i really cried alot because i also have a guinea which i love so very much, i realised that i should spent as much time with it as i could before anything like that happened, which was a good thing because earlier today when i went to pet her she hadn't touched her food, she is barely moving at the moment i fear that this is my last night with her ... so i play this song as i sit next to her peting her, i just know she will die tonight, R.I.P <3

  • omg as soon as you started to sing i got goosepimples!

  • i can breath and whisper into a mic too..?

  • listen to this and the sound of rain w/o music at the same time.

    its unreal

  • @tlmwg Thank you so much, that is incredible, Everyone should listen to it that way at least once.

  • This is great. I'm in no position to make suggestions, but you should cover Painting Flowers by All Time Low. You would be the perfect person to do such a thing.

  • Your voice is so calming and serene. Thank you for sharing your talent!

  • Gavin you are so Talented it makes me proud just listening to you, please please, do a cover of Anouk's song Lost, I'm dying to hear your version, please please!!

  • This is absolutely beautiful. And perfect. And indescribably perfect.

    This definitely tugged at the strings of my heart.

  • .. Don't know what to say.. It was perfect, just perfect..

  • That was so so cute, so ridiculously cute

  • Gavin, are you Russian?

  • @badizmyru Nope, he's from Nashville, Tennessee.

  • You are far, far, too good at this.

  • This song was made for your voice. I love it. It's so sweet. You have the softest melody. =)
