This is magic. I hate to be the guy complaining about this on YouTube, but today's music industry is hopeless. It's people like this that need to be known. Not pop-country artists, and definitely not all of those terrible teen artists. Problem is, it's mostly tasteless people with no standards (and young kids) who shell out their cash when they see a flashy advertisement for a CD. What's a record company to do.
Just beautiful. Been listening to Henley's version for years, and while I've never even heard of you before I have to say you've just made it your own. I hope you believe in your music as much as you should, and you should.
re: "not even close to the classic" .. what a bimbo.. it's called "interpretation".. want Don Henley?.. listen to Don Henley.. This is sublime! Great work Jeff..
Uh, well he totally destroyed the chord progression of the song and he does have a hair band voice, but obviously a lot of people would liked to have heard steve perry do this song and that is who Jeff sounds a bit like. Not saying its bad, but its not even close to the classic Henley created.
You know a pleeus? huhLee your head back... Bist defense. Since Diddy had to fly? No. And don't try to blame it on your "accent", you sound like an 80's hair band singer. No, no, just no. You ruined it. You're trying to sound like him. You only do on some words. Don Henly is one of my favs, and you've ruined it!! Rooeend!!
@googoodollsjohnny You are an idiot. If you want to watch Don Henly, just do it and shut your mouth. Stick to watching TV and playing video games. There a category of music called "classical" and it has nothing to do with this song or Don Henly. You know nothing about music.
This has quickly become my favorite version of this great song. Not an easy feat to accomplish when you're up against Bruce Hornsby and Don Henley! Wow!
@ donaldstop- watch a video of a guy named raniermatthews. he does a cover of dave matthews called crash into me. if that doesn't compete, then i am out of suggestions. i think you will like it. comment on my page if you do. cheers mate
...truly heartfelt...i can easily relate to this video in its entirety, "...lawyers clean up small details since daddy had to fly, awh, but I know a place where we can go, still untouched by men, sit and watch the clouds roll by..." Thank you, Jeff, for your amazing voice and acoustic version of this special song that pulled me in on many levels.
Please, please record yourself. You are first rate. If this is just you and your guitar you are a talent of the first water. It isn't the facility of your voice and guitar, those are excellent, but that is not the thing. The thing is, Jeff, is that you are capable of expressing your individual soul in music. This is a gift rarely given to people, and you have it. Better do something about it. Don't spit in the face of the Almighty.
I love that video that you shot with that creek especially with that Andy Griffith part at the end there. It reminds me of the time that I lived in the country where my grandpa, grandma, maw and I did not have to worry about locking the doors when we all went to the store or locking them at night. Whatever happened to those times ? I mean about where one did not have to worry about locking the doors to their homes.
I have watched 3,979 youtube videos. This is still my favorite and has been for quite a while. If there is a better singer than Jeff Bryant I sure don't know who is is.
wow...very excellent! vocal, guitar, and song...goosebumps...sucha perfect song ..unfortunately for many people tellin the same story ... but its life~... thank you~
I have a fantom G8 and I play the piano I also have a very nice mic for voice Called the c414 from AKG Was wondering if you didn't want to spend some time with me down here in Brazil
So that we could create some songs together And stuff... Would give you new inspirations and stuff and you could also broaden your horizons Hey I was wondering you had a phone, meaning a cell phone that I could call to
Mine is 96597669 area code is 81 country code is 55
hey!!!! this is my dad thank you so much he has seen the video and absolutly loves it please if u have anymore i d love to see them ha:)))))!!!!!! god bless! - Jake Bryant
Glad you found this Jake. This is the only one I've got. This is a great song! Your dad can sing and play with the best of them. And when I say them, I mean anybody - the famous them.
damn i thought that this was teh reall singer! wow he is GOOD!!
