  • So proud of you. A simply brilliant LIVE version of this on Aled Jones' Good Morning Sunday show on BBC Radio 2 on 6th November. As Aled said "the best live performance he's heard in the 6 years he's been doing GMS." Great!

  • Thumbs up for Aled Jones !!

  • No me suelen gustar los covers de canciones tan buenas, pero este esta muy bien hecho y muy bien interpretado

  • cute song

  • muy bueno!!!!

  • veo muchas veces este video agradable NICE!

  • It does sound nice.....BUT.....The arrangement is much to cheerful for the lyrics...completely loses the true meaning of the song, no emotion whatsoever!!

  • @Rizkitarisa stfu, Its GILBERT O'SULLIVAN not fucking Ice Age 3. That was lame. @UKELOUNGE great job :)

  • Excellent!!

  • Brilliant!!!

  • Congrats Steven...pushing 83,000 hits!No surprise on this excellent cover!

  • full of pessimism, but i can't deny it's a very great song...

  • A great Classic !!!

  • You, somehow, have the ability to sing this song in a catchy way - and not sound as depressing as the original. ; ) Great job!

  • This is a great song played by a great player- he has made a wide range of books and cd's and deserves alot more recognition than he's already got.

  • This is the very Exception of a non professional cover version that is not embarrasing. I even like the voice of the interpreter: Simple with a good intonation.

    For some other people here: Please look up the origin writer of the song before listening to it a 100 times and then guessing Paul McCartney or something. Aren't you intrested in what you hear?

  • nice ... a good catchy song

    very good point. naturely

  • You freaking rock.  Most of the covers of this song are crap. not this!

  • Comment removed

  • Isn't this Paul McCartney?

  • man, I was thinking the same thing? I think it is? Explains why its so good

  • Sweet sad song. Good voice.

  • Great !

    I listened this song 100 times!

    I like your voice.

  • Proper, 5* is not enough.

  • sounds great...although it does kinda take away the feeling of absolute despair that hte original has...still sounds great though

  • Bellissima versione...preferisco uno strumento che la rende più struggente, come la chitarra acustica, il piano....ma è molto bella anche questa interpretazione, complimenti. Bella voce!

  • Simply WoW.....

    Very nice version....

    A sad song that turns into happy song ^____^...

    though you look like Sir paul mccartney...

    But he is left handed ^___^

  • Hi! I agree with other people...I heard this song and then searched other people's versions - even the original - and yours is the best! You have a lovely voice.

  • hi theres a guy worked out my uke chords

    on youtube. search alone again naturally ukulele chords UKleleBill

    cheers!

    steven

  • would like to find simplier chords for this song... impossible to play the only tab made for this song on the net, it being piano strings

  • for a moment he looks like paul mccartney a bit

  • i can agree with that comment. but what i can always say is this clip is one of the best, in cinematography, sounds, just everything is wonderful. again mr Steven Sproat five stars for you... * * * * *

  • hahahha yeah

  • I thought the exact same thing!!

  • i honestly can say that your rendition is one of the best i ever heard. and i' glad to listen to you interpretation on this old classic song of mr. Gilbert.S.

  • Formidable! The trumpet sound is a great addition to this wonderful song, I am sure Mr. O'sullivan is not disapointed...Greetings from Arizona!

  • Never knew you existed.Great job!!

  • Wow nice job, now I'm off to see what else you sing. Cheers from Canada.

  • Very very good. I had done a cover on youtube. But after listening to you very special and well done version I am thinking to remove mine.

    nice melancholy feel.

  • muy bueno

  • Can I have the chords?

  • i love it..

    by the way, he looks like paul mccartney ^^

  • It's really good !!!

    Nice version...

  • really good !!!

    5/5

  • Even better than the original :-)

  • REALLY?!?!?!?!? I don't think so. very rarely can a cover be better than the original. it's a good cover, but c'mon. no way near the emotion of the original.

  • Amazing!

  • This is really quite well done and on a par with the original. What I like most about this rendition is that the artist resists the urge to copy the original format of the song. The addition of the horns and ukele were very unique and the entire song is beautifully sung. Well done, mate.

  • this is so good, i keep listening to it!

  • Notable estilo Paul McCartney....y notable esta melodía de O´Sullivan que despues de 36 años me sigue conmoviendo.

  • You resemble a very very far cousin of Sir Paul McCartney... I mean it in good way!

    Keep up the good work!

    Cheers

  • Excellent job! Really enjoyed this!!

  • nice version..but nowhere near as good as the original...just doesn't have as much soul, know what I mean.

  • That was incredible! Very well done!!

    Tricky chord changes, great voice by the way! 5*****!!

  • Awesome version!

  • Nice Cover!! great video! great little guitar playing! great singing!

  • Super! Fantastic!

  • this is my 100x viewing this version and I'm not getting tired listening...he's magnificent!

  • nice version

  • i like it a lot man!!!

  • not bad, this was worth watching.  good voice.

  • nothing can replace the original, but this cover is very good. Great job :)

  • I really like your version! good job

  • great from good ole NZ how about showing us the chords share tah much

  • fantastic job

  • That was fab!!!

    You are, indeed Sir Paul's doppelganger.

    He's a uke player too.

    So am I. Do you have uke boxes for that song?

    Best wishes, Weedunn

    *****

  • Fantastic...

    Are U Paul McCarthy or Larry Bird?..

    No, really fantastiv...

  • LMAO I fell off my chair reading that comment.

  • man, I am calling the police, you have just stolen my heart

  • This song you sang moved me to tears and the phasing of the trumpet solo was excellent. Well done.

    Calvin from Hong Kong :)

  • good cover well done my friend!!

  • great job on a great song!

  • Sad song but sang beautifully thanks for sharing.....

  • Beautiful! I commend you Sir!

  • Bonita versión.

  • Refreshing.!!! working in the song on piano..!! too..!! Good Job..

  • Best vocal rendition - aside from the original - I've heard yet. Not too crazy about the piped-in background music, or the trumpet doing the lead. How about just you and the uke?

  • This was done in a studio with all other other musicians and then the video was made at home and music was layed over the top.

  • nice cover. but its a crime to say its better than gilberts original. end of story.

  • agreed!!

  • wow! not bad...i actually like it better than the original (i am partial to the island-esque sound of the ukulele). I would, however, take out the trumpet and replace it with another string intstument (perhaps another ukulele?).

  • very nice!

  • nice rendition i rate 5 star

  • Rubbish. Gilbert is simplt the best

  • Granted nice cover but to say this is better than Gilbert O'sullivan is just musical blasphemy

  • No disrespect meant to Gilbert O Sullivan, I like him very much...this song and also Claire. This is a great song, made CURRENT, and current means relevant to the next generation...a real tribute to Mr. O'Sullivans fine work.

  • One of those rare instances when the cover is actually better than the original. If you loved this, check out Steven's new album at Amazon UK, it is fantastic!

  • pretty awesome version using ukelele! five thumbs up!

  • Nice work my friend. Thx

  • Only Good Remake I've found so far. Good Job.

  • great great song thanks a lot

  • Steven's New album is now available. Check out Amazon uk. Cheers

  • nice try with 4 strings...

  • great song

    ang ganda tlaga

    ng song n2

  • i love this song very much and you more than did justice to it. Awesome!!!

  • Hi Steven , wow mate this is good i keep coming back and have another listen well done Dave Returns ( should be a clue )

  • I would go as far as to say that joechan.....but its the best iv heared apart from o'sullivans

  • Awesome Stephen & Mates. One of those rare instances when the cover is better than the original...Bravo!

  • This is my all-time favorite song, and the cover didn't disappoint me at all, in fact I absolutely love it. Thank you.

  • Really really nice cover!  Thanks Stephen!
