Crazy! His voice is a bit like Ray's and Damien's voices squashed together. Love it. I wish he'd hit that low chord with more of the weight of hard truth.
Unique and enjoyable acoustic version of this song, making it seem like an entirely different tune. My only wish is that Damien did so little in it, as I was looking forward to hearing two great voices together.
ray?? oh LOL i was like since when does ray wear glasses, why did he cut his jesus hair and when did his voice change xD..... you have a amazing voice ben :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry to piss on your BBQ but I don't agree.. This sucks! I mean, it's gona be hard to beat the Gibb brothers with Bill Shepherds 44 piece Orchestra.. But seriously.. A Beard singing in front of a badly lit window with a wonky mic doesn't just cut it for me.
And what's with this belated, recoiled singing? Is it meant to sound cool or sumit? Or isit he simply doesn't know how to sing in time?
I'd stay away from covers if I were you & simply play when camping in the countryside!!
i did a cover of this also, but the audio turned out all garbled by the time it ended up on youtube... any suggestions? .. i like your version of the version too :) cheers
This is one of my FAVORITE songs (The Damien & Ray version) and you certainly do it justice. I bet Danica loves this one...you have a beautiful voice.
Wow, I just discovered your music today - I am so happy!! You are an incredibly talented musician and singer. I look forward to exploring your music.
Wow....I agree with whoever said that this was the best version on Youtube, you have a tenderness to your voice that totally suits this song, do you have any other covers you've done?
I was pleasantly suprised just now. I first clicked on the video thinking that it was going to be Lamontagne/Rice. I NEVER watch other people's music videos because I don't like wasting my time on amateur and mediocre versions of someone else's songs. You, however, I like. Keep it up.
I like your voice is very sweet but not too sweet i don't know how to explain you but ...you're good you're voice makes a good combination with this song
Sounds great! I posted my version as a video response. Let me know what you think. Can you let me know what your recording setup is? I still use my cameras mic which probably doesn't help my sound. I want something better but to still capture that amazing acoustic sound. thanks!
sorry, understand now its supposed to be a cover. but there is never any point covering a ray lamontagne song, as it will always sound terrible in comparison. As this one does.
Nice Job! My second favorite part is the dog suddenly in the window. hahaha...I think Ray would be proud, but we really will never know because the guy doesn't ever seem to say much. Really who needs to talk when you write like Ray anyway. Again, very cool post!
indeed lol i couldnt sing an octave higher on the chorus....i dont have any range...so I sang lower...which sounds odd but oh well....and now im off to check your channel...thanks for the comment.
haha feminine??? well.....i dont quite get that....i mean my voice is not deep by any means but i would find something very strange about a woman that had my voice....but hey thanks for listnin
Check out the Flying Burrito Brothers cover of this Gram Parsons blows Ray out the water on this. (the gp version is probably the insperation for theyre cover as it is very similar in style).
Thanks bud...I will for sure be trying to post more soon. Trying to figure this whole youtube stuff figured out! he he Thanks for the comments, really liking your stuff though so keep it up brother! :)
Dude my vocals are hideous on this one...i really shouldve reviewed it a bit more...but oh well....thats why i dont make a livin playin music....anyways thanks for the comment man...all we can do is get better right?
just awesome man, played and sang it perfectly!! i was so stoked when i saw that these two guys did a song together, i always thought they had like minds and playing styles.
You have THE most annoying voice I have ever heard in my life. I'm serious. Just hearing your little goofy voice makes me wanna rip my own dick off! That's a nice guitar too.
too many times, the work of the gibb brothers gets somehow lumped in with cliche or trend. fact is, they wrote great tunes and this is a wonderfully warm and thoughtfully fresh rendition of one of my favorites. a video reply is in the works!
