This song has to be my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song. Man, you did an awesome cover, the best I've heard on all of Youtube!!

[MrCharlietwoseven]

Brilliant, and thankyou brother. touching. love.

[NicklePizza]

This is probably the best Gordon Lightfoot cover I've ever heard, and I don't like cover songs.

[theshyguitarist]

How could there be any dislikes? Great cover!

[pilgrim561]

[BLOODBOX762X39]

They should name a roadway for him.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@zebratangozebra rename carefree highway in az. 101 i believe to lightfoot highway i lived 5 minutes from that sign lol. id be all for doing that

[mrbw1963]

I know gorden, steve pryer, steve taylor, leon russell

[Pedy1968]

Good Job!...very well done :)

[Aarrmehearties]

Great voice, really expressive.

[mnu4evrz]

Dude. I just watched the movie, "Wonderland." Don't know if you have seen it, but this song plays as the closing credits begin to roll and there was something about it that caught my attention. Now listening to you sing the lyrics, they are so profoundly perfect for the end of that movie. This is very well done bro. Peace.

[Sheepsville]

Nice job mate...I had this song sent to me from an ex who tried to finish it gently with me by playing this song...it broke my heart...:(

[blossomsquirrel]

Why have you replaced the F6 chord (the one that comes after G) - which is such an integral part of the song and which gives it that extra dimension of ethereal beauty - with a straightforward F major chord?

[Veefree1]

I've been on youtube, but never felt as strongly about commenting on any cover as I do this one. I've never even commented on any song.....This one was on my mind all day, listened to a couple of Gordon lightfoots videos... then ran across this cover...was meant to be!!! You, you have perfected this song.......You, touched my heart with this......Thank you!

[strat2caster]

@Veefree1

thank you very much,

this is one of those songs that I connect with personally,

I'm glad that it comes across to the listener that way

that is the troubadors' goal .

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

thanks for posting - still great. It's all there. Thanks for just being!! - Cheers!!

[Cuthberttt]

feelin something else too huh

[talent2k]

great job man!

[NJPhotographer62]

Great cover of a great tune!!

[Morganizer]

When Connie Kaldor covered this song, she wrote, "It is also a singer's great joy to sing, 'I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.'" I can see that you partook of that same, bittersweet joy.

[juliet1431]

i like your rendition, you do all the songs i like, i think i like you. i cant help it!!!!lol

[68lpjr]

wow, so,so, sweet! love you're playin' brother! keep up the great work.

[ProgHead777]

Without a doubt the best sung cover of this song I've seen on YouTube yet. You sound great.

[strat2caster]

@ProgHead777

thank you, i was "feelin' it" that day...

[woolacombe99]

Nice cover dude, touching, soulful and moving.

[IndiaSummerxxx]

Nice voice!

[rgbarry1]

Hey Man...not bad, not bad at all.

[nglbones]

I'm trying to learn this one right now. Tough vocals to hit and hold man. NADLEH needs to light up himself and relax 'cuz that was SWEET!

[trink968]

beautiful

[jipzeeroze]

Beautiful job :) I love this song and you did it sooo well.

[robbieg696]

DUDE!?!? I'm diggin it! Great job man. If you EVER need a drummer...I'm there. I don't care where!

[cditmer]

AWESOME voice! Great job with this, loved it!

[waitawa]

Wow you are really good- are you a professional singer?

[hjernigan3]

Great version of one of the greatest songs ever written!

[Nadleh]

Uh yeah man, got another doobie? You play better James Taylor music.....

[TheHappinessmusic]

...it brings tears to my eyes. You are an excellent artist. Thank you for this beautiful video!

[squirtle113]

Ok..so this song pulls me to "Wonderland". A movie aqbout John Holmes & murder & drugs. Aeriously Val Kilmer's in it & it's an amazing true story. Not the song the movie. I'm thinking KORN has a tune on it too.

[harwintonkath]

wow - great cover...great song...you do it right. i was very pleasantly surprise to hear your voice. It was not what i expected...it is awesome! You got some good heart and soul in that voice! very deep - got a great Cash vibe to it. You're the real deal. Great job!

[oldetavern]

Very well done! Great song choice too.

[JimyJak]

Hey there man, How goes it? I'm Jimmy G, from peekskill, NY. You're musicianship sure comes from the heart . I've seen a few of your vids and enjoyed them all...very much! I sure wish I had a musical friend like you to jam with.. It's all about the music man...keep rockin'! From, Jimmy. ps. really dig the tye-dye

[cnhatton]

A LEGIT five stars!! Well done.

[SotR59]

I thought you were the actor Sam Elliott when I first clicked on this song lol.

Nice job.

[jetups]

*****

[SteveArpo]

As far as musical feeling goes many would do well to try and emulate your technique and through that find their own style and their own way.  All the best.

[biruss]

This was so good I thought it was Gordon Lightfoot at first. Wish I had that gift.

[biruss]

Beautiful job my friend. I plan on having this song sung at my service.

[cdouaire]

From the city where Gordie was born and raised... You did a great job!! I love it.

[Nagromman]

excellent cover very well done. You have a great voice for this song

[downhill240]

Lovely cover of one of my all-time favorites. Gordon Lightfoot is a unique performer/writer. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!

[Beebobright]

Found you two years ago still love it i had to find it again!!

[membdrshipcollegepro]

Man you are really good when are you going to record something like this so I can buy it?

[stolzvonbaden]

Grüße aus Baden.

[muskndusk]

Your voice is so similar to Gordon Lightfoot's I actually thought it was a vid of him till I read the comments!

[italllies]

SALUDE !

[gbyrne92]

5 *! :)

[nphec]

Nice cover!

[williheckaslike]

One of my favourite song's ~ You do an excellent job of this ~ Well done

[oracleofottawa]

This man did not sell out ! Great look and soul full sound that has lived the lyrics.

[puffin3]

Thank you. I sense your playing and singing is not about simply 'covering' Gordon. You are expressing something coming from your heart because it's important to you. I sense also a need to heal yourself. GL's music has been easing my way in life for forty years. I got to play with Red Shea a few times at some great Sat. night 'piss-ups'.

[dejahvu230]

Good job man, I love the voice.

[ExoticGawdess]

Sweet.

[wgcbww]

Great job, this is a super classic from Gordon Lightfoot. I recorded this on my site, just wish I could play the guitar like you, sure makes a big difference.

[legaldead]

good job, man!  very soulful song.

[JimyJak]

I love to play this. The words are really nice to sing. You seem to capture and project the true feeling of them and the music in all your performances. Your own personal technique is strong. You are a fine musician and singer. Jimmy G. Peekskill, NY.

[clay3505]

great job man, beautiful song

[LordNifty]

Better than the original, definitely(for me at least).

[karenkaaats]

I don't know if the performer will read this but John Edens is this you? Brings back memories of admiring similiar private show decades ago. Thanks for the info. that I needed for an upcoming performance.

[SSArt98]

Vocals are decent but really didn't like the strings.Good job though......

Happy Labor Day

[irajaygold]

Your channeling Gordon ! Awesome. I love the slower version your projecting and consider this the best out of the 20 versions or more posted on youtube.

[prjctcivilian]

i actually met gordon a few times, his son was friends with my brother (they went to school together)

[ScrewdUpClickSUC]

[negtype13]

WOW!

[JensRocky51]

perfect!

[veronicasofia]

Love it. What a great voice. And "fuckoes", his guitar is in tune. Are YOU doing bong hits? Geez, leave it alone if you don't like it.

[thundah1]

Well Done !!

[cludden89]

^^ I loved it!

[42dapex]

Favorite.

[paramedicservices]

Very nice job my friend, unique and in your own style. I agree with the Hippie Donald Sutherland comment though. There is a bit of Frank Gallagher in there as well though ;-)

[eldadmi]

i loved it! great voice !!

[whippedboy]

Nice job.

[marcusamarrious]

awsome man your

[inkey2]

yeh, this dude is pretty good and his guitar has nice tone.....what the hell does that idiot poster "fuckoes" mean "tune your guitar".....stupid shit head ...it "is" in tune. On another note: "this dude playing is the most "hippy, pot, wierd" person I have seen in years......looks like a hippy Donald Sutherland

[benniebenbenny]

Excellent cover of a song from one of Canada's greatest composers!

Nicely done.

BTW, to the poster below: If one cannot say something nice, do not say anything at all.

[fuckoes]

no more bong hits until you tune that guitar, hippy.

[20woody11]

it's tuned, fuckface.

do you have ears, or Down Syndrome?

[tom010984]

the guitar is in tune. You're just ignorant, like most people who post stupid messages like that. Fucko.

[queenastilon]

Quite good.

I don't mind so much that you fluffed the lyrics at one point. I do mind that you didn't say in the title that this is a cover - it's extremely frustrating for those of us searching for the original.

[hilly1690]

if he'd told it was a cover you'd never heard this great version

[savagegoats]

who cares dude, stumbling on this version must have taken at most 3 seconds out of your day, not to mention it's a great cover, you should be glad you came accross it!

[LSE333]

Right there with ya brewpeter1970. This song is timeless & amazing

[brewpeter1970]

great job dude, love this song, just about sums up my life at the moment

[colbrot]

one of the greatest folk singer songwriters of all time. love the gord

[tnleggs59]

Always loved this song, you done it really well

Hugs,

Karen

[brianchylinski]

Good hippie!!!

[mickeypunz]

DUDE, YOU KICK ASS!

[ngfxoxo]

Hey, VERY nicely done!!!! I play guitar also; is there any way I could get the chords for this and any tab you are using? I can make out some of them by watching you but I am still at the point where I need every step laid out in front of me to follow.

All the best, I think you have developed a good number of YT fans here!!! :)

[Altair1141]

yes very good. I like your Psychedelic effect wish I could live in the 60's, 70's
