Higher Window ( Josh Groban piano cover by Gavin Mikhail )

[adriannacvilla]

I can't believe this cover doesn't have more views than this! I bought this on iTunes and I adore it :) It makes me cry though, haha

[soundphileca]

I can't stop listening to this version. I can't even compare it to Josh's, because it is so different from his version. It's in a league of it's own, really. Incredibly heartfelt and touching. To be honest, I prefer this version to Josh's.

[lootje145]

usually I'd say : eey ya don't mess with josh, but you...you're good in ya own way! you made a completely different song and I love it! keep up the good work!

[TheWednesdayLove]

This song has such incredible meaning, and Mikhail's version is just soft and lovely. Makes my heart freeze in my chest!

[twinkless01]

you have an amazing voice!!!! love it

[ToxxicXlove]

I've been having a really crappy week so far, and to be honest, I've cried a lot for some unhappy reasons... But this song makes me consider some of the better things I've gone through before I hit the bad stuff... It's a melancholy song, but it always distracts me from the issues at hand.

The way you've preformed this piece is amazing, and I absolutely love your voice. Thank you for this gorgeous cover~

-Bree

[simy97]

You are awesome gavin!!

[horowana]

Huhh..just searching my favour songs then plug you to me. That great ! Amazing Voice ! Loved much ! Hey, are you singer ? Had any CD (Ablum) ? Can buy in Hong Kong ? ^^ Wow...I shared your video on my facebook. Hope all my friend like you much ! Love Love Love xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

[YumiRulz]

Wow... your voice just has so much emotion, really pulled some heartstrings with an already beautiful song. D': Amazing job, sir, you have talent :)

[xXMyxBrokenxDreamsXx]

I wonder why this song had such an affect on me, not even a minute into the song i started crying. Just shows how music can reflect on emotions...

[thefairysoprano]

Hey Gavin! I really love this cover. I just got Josh Groban's "Illuminations" album today, and, although I'm a long-time fan of Josh's, I'm surprised at the difference! There is so much more raw power and emotion in your cover... Really impressive. Thanks for everything you do. =)

[RealtyStudioHD]

Wow, hearing you sing this brought me to tears. Great job my friend.

[channiejk]

Beautiful!

[MrKatsumotosan]

Hey Dud!! Ya such the man!!! Keep on your nice job...

[nichareek]

so beautiful...

[airsix]

I love your sound :)

[singdreamshoes]

The more I listen to this, the more I love it!

[dh8145]

Awesome job. I just subscribed to your channel. The videos of your trip to London are incredible. I could only imagine how overwhelming the feeling that you were going to be recording in Peter Gabriel's studio must have been.

[LouLouAndTheWhale]

i absolutely love your voice.

love Josh Groban &think your cover of the song is immense :)

[SweetAwesome22]

Shooter McGavin that was awesome.

[BLOOMINGPARIS]

Thank you Gavin! This is beautiful... I always come back to this version of the song! You play it so well! and capture the mood... blessings to you! p.s. my Holland lop bunny adores your music too! I'm not joking.. you have talent playing for us, and our beautiful animals on this planet! soothing sounds... xx

[colt413]

This is my favorite song by Josh Groban and you portrayed the emotion very well! Did you use sheet music for the piano part? Because I would to be able to give it a try! If not I could always transcribe it but thats extremely time consuming. If you have it I would love to have it!

[TheParamorelover131]

You are absolutely amazing! This song really made me cry. A lot of problems at home right now and well yeah... Amazing job though!

[Onceuponarleen]

this is simply beautiful. and the fact that it's a cover of a josh groban song gives it much more prestige, at least for me :)

[Ians111]

I actually prefer this to the original that may sound odd but its more real and down to earth with feeling and more chilling to listen to.. I love Groban though so chill grobie fans!!!!!

[wellandtrulyjoshed]

Didn't take long for someone to want to sing one of Josh's songs from Illuminations - very different arrangement but not bad

[CamillaJensen3]

i just Love your voice :D Keep singin, cause you defenetly have an amazing voice, dont scream as you did in the other vidio i looked at just before. You scared me ;b

Well.. I was acktually wondering about if you could sing: What Are Words, with Chris Medina.

It's really an awesome song, and i would love to hear your voice singing it (: .!

- Camilla(:

[JRobinson14993]

You my friend are brilliant, Ive never seen anyone else on Youtube as good as you.

[shoearmy]

Love this song xx

[Mistral0307]

Incredibly beautiful !!!! This song is deeply touching in my heart !!!

Love, love, love It ♥♥♥♥

Liz:):)

[hippyxwoman]

Beautifully sung Gavin!

Would you have the sheet music by chance? Or did you learn by ear?

[Bexii454]

Ah, this is so beautiful.

This past year has been very difficult, My Mom has been battling breast cancer, I've been undergoing two leg operations after the first one failed. One person has supported me through everything, He's my rock. It's only friendship but I don't know, this song just reminds me of how he's been my light through the dark.

[juliannejames1]

Incredibly passionate cover...two thumbs up!!!

[schoolgirlneely]

hey, this performance show pure passion from the soul. it gives me chills. just amazing. just perfect. josh should comment on this cover because it is amazing. i just downloaded it, so i'm going to put it on my ipod. thanks for all your music! keep going

[xXSingIt210Xx]

I'm a HUGE Grobanite. And I lovedlovedloved this version! VERY well done!

[venturaspecial]

Very nice version, Josh Groban must not see this cos i love this version more. Lots of love Gavin from England

[ElsePels1]

Great!!!!!! Super song! Super voice btw!!! Love this one to!! Love the way Josh sings it but Gavin is good as well!

[crewandjosh]

I actually stumbled upon your cover while looking for Josh Groban's version, and I have to say that your version is stunning as well. I especially love the beginning. Simply wonderful and beautiful to listen to.

[johnandrew002]

Such a beautiful song and your voice and piano are haunting. This is the first time I ever heard you sing and I am SO moved and impressed.

[Anita8891]

Great interpration!!i love the piano and slower tempo!!wonderful:)

[halley0413]

I have Groban's Illuminations cd and I just shrugged when I heard this song. But now, I think I am having arrythmia just listening to your beautiful cover. Subbed, favorited, shared on youtube and facebook. This must be how prayers are answered, not with a deafening shout but with a soft beautiful whisper.

[Mistral0307]

GAVIN!!

I'M A BIG FAN OF JOSH GROBAN!! BUT - THIS COVER BETTER, THAN ORIGINAL!!!

VERY SENSIBILITY AND ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!

THANK YOU!

LIZ:):)

[ekenn414]

This is beautiful - it says everything I wish I could say. :) Thank you for covering this...you're amazing.

[ismokealotofbowls]

i can listen to this 1000 times over and it never gets old....bravo..

[dlsheahan4]

While I love Josh and think he is one of the best voices of our time, this shows not only amazing vocals but beautiful artistry. You should be very proud - seriously, this is so refreshing to see. Someone not trying to sing like Josh - but using their own vocal power and talent to recreate their own version.

Seriously, you are one of my new favorite artists. Absolutely love it.

[JaliceIsTheName]

hi this video is absolutely outstanding! absolutely amazing..!!!!

i was just wondering how you get your songs to sound so clear like that.. i have a piano what i want to do songs on but what plug ins, mic and software do you use to record your songs on as yours are so clear and id love my songs to sound like yours! it'd be a great help, thankyou:)

[CeciliusHolton391]

Get the audio from this track at soundnabber doht cohm.

[27laziza]

Really beautiful =D

[firediva13]

this is absolutely beautiful ^^

[SunnyDay1013]

A beautiful rendition of this song - you bring your own feeling and style. I enjoy listening to your version just as much as Josh Groban's. Only thing that kept me from buying it on itunes is that your inhaling before each line is distracting and seems to come across pretty loud (it may just be that I'm used to Josh's breath control). Would love to hear you do more of Josh Groban's songs! :)

[mrsrepus]

Back again for a dose of Gavin.... so full of feeling... downloaded the free songs... thank you! Any future tours? 

[27608441]

beautiful:)

[Const4ntine]

This is a great cover. The only thing that I would consider that could add a little more.....nevermind, just as I was about suggest you bring more emotion in the bridge and you did it...damn your good. Great stuff. I'm still working on my cover. I need to find some equipment, cuase I dont want to be the garage band kinda feel.

[appreciategreatmusic]

would love to hear you do more of his songs......suggest Thankful.....My Heart is Home Again....Awake and February Song.... i really think your style would lend to a greater listening audience to these great songs...........

[appreciategreatmusic]

gavin i've been a huge fan of jg for a long time........but your cover on this song is better......keep up the fantastic work...........his type of music really suits you........

[mrsrepus]

I'm back again.. Higher Window cover...... I have no words to say.. speechless!

[TerraceArchimedes]

Can I request a song?

I'd really like to hear you sing, "I walk away,"

Keep up the good work.

[ArgentTwilight]

I don't even listen to Josh Groban, but this is beautiful!

[SennaAnodyneRaylie47]

Holy cow! You should send this to Josh Groban; he would be delighted! Seriously, fantastic job, sir! I was very moved. Now I'm off to see what else you've done! :)

[Sing4Paula]

:o ...Im a huge Grobanite and this, this is just amazing. You did so great!

[Quallenforscherin]

This is the first cover of a Josh Groban song which I really do appreciate and that is because you simply sang it in your own way. That is why I would not say that your cover is better or worse than the original but rather that it is exceptional. Keep up the good work!

[josereyesmartinez]

Beautiful!

[marinegf1986]

OMG!! I love your style of this song. I absolutely adore Josh Groban and you did such an awesome job on this song!!! Do you have any CDs out?? I'd love to buy one if you do. :) I LOVE your voice and how u present your music!!! Keep up the great work!!

[ChuBBcaPt]

@marinegf1986 He does.!! Check the description or go to gavinmikhail dot bandcamp dot com.

For this cover, you can find it in "The Accoustic Collection: Volume II"

I hope it helps and Enjoy the music.!! :)

[jamanimefan]

OMG! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love you and I love Josh! :D yay!

[MTMOlli]

Today i bought your Acoustic Collection Album and this is one of the best things i've ever done. It's amazing and awesom.

Thanks for your music, your feeling and this great voice.

[ebhock101]

This is the ONLY song version of ANY of Josh Groban's music....that has outdone Josh Groban. I have since listened to a lot of your work, and you are masterful. It's not ALL my favorite, but a lot of what you do is stunning.

[ILoveCheese400]

I really love this song. The way you presented it was greaat(: Can you tell me where I can find the sheet music for this?

Stephanie

[singerboi588]

Gavin...once again great covers..so many of friends really enjoy them and are starting to listen to your own work. Keep bringing them on!! I agree with @zehblondemafia, people do say that, with wanting to be Christina, they do need to look to people like you. You are a guy that has a great family, and loves to make music that comes more from the heart and shows more passion than other people. Keep it up man!!--Bryan (the guy from Longwood University)

[kayp29]

Great job. Love how you made it your own.

[ellieluvs2singify]

I love how no one dislikes this =) Gavin is awesome!!

[PhantomsRose1627]

Absolutely beautiful Gavin. Well Done !!!

[smasha]

I like Josh Groban, but this cover out-does his version exponentially. I think the piano and your voice bring more of a tenderness to this song. It's beautiful.

[globockham]

Gavin, you are magnificent.

[rubberduckyluver1]

I didn't realize how lucky I am to have parents that don't fight until I saw all these comments. I'm sorry to all you poor souls who are tortured from the screaming, the crashing, and I wish you all good luck.

Gavin, you are amazing.

[MimiChan171]

My parents were fighting a lot last week too. I'd cry myself to sleep. It made me shatter seeing how sad they were. But then when they saw me and my sister crying, we shouted at them and now I can hear them laughing hysterically with my 2-year-old brother. now I cry tears of joy.

[durnina]

GAVIN!- The CD is sold out :( And I noticed there are covers. I want the Like Normal Ppl do, but would also love the other one, any chances you'll be releasing any more?

[durnina]

Hey Gavin! I havent been on here in a couple weeks, and was STOKED when I saw you added new songs. You are absolutely AMAZING!!! Going to your website now to buy a CD. I think you should make a CD of your covers too, my fav is still Pink Raise Your Glass, but I also LOVE your song Brave. Great work, keep adding, we'll be listening!

[IAmFr33Xp]

Wow you're amazing! I'm sure you'll get getting a lot of subscribers! Nice job. :)

[gilinho66]

Congratulations... good work, fantastic voice!

[redyak07]

Hi Gavin, just wanted to tell you that pulling off a song that was done by Josh Groban is not an easy accomplishment. You just got another fan! great job and Thank you....

[juliemillerfan]

[TorturedXeno]

Dude, what recording equipment are you using?

[ajpianoman1]

Once again, absolutely brilliant, Gavin... Brings tears to my eyes! I love your voice. Tenor, if I'm not mistaken?

[Wyman7777777]

Yo you fabulous =]

[SarahAngel225398]

Holy crapp... :) i almost cried... my parents have been fighting alot and it made me kinda tear up :(

[gavinmikhail]

@SarahAngel225398 I'm sorry to hear your parents have been fighting so much, Sarah. Seriously, hang in there with that. I'm sure it's been hard on you...

Gavin

[gp680]

@gavinmikhail yeah sarah that is why god gives us people like josh broban and gavin god let us hear thing like this so we can let go of are situations thanks gavin and sarah have faith no matter what (dont give up)

[DavTSim2]

what program do you use to record ? and the mic is USB one ?

[gavinmikhail]

@DavTSim2 Hey Dav... lots of people have been asking, and I've been meaning to post that information. :) I use Nuendo and the mic is a Mojave MA200 (first generation). Run it through a UA 6176 (preamp+compressor) and RME ADI-8DS converters. Lots of plug-ins and whatnot in Nuendo (Waves, UAD, etc.), but that's the tracking info. Thanks for wanting to know...

Gavin

[DavTSim2]

@gavinmikhail thanks alot do you know where I can download the Nuendo or where I can buy it ? and do you think M AUDIO mic is good ?

[bookiegenious2345]

hey hey i think you should do a cover of Gran Torino by Jamie Cullum :D

[thrillseeeker23]

I prefer your version. It's so calming with your voice and the piano melodies. As always, your songs just take away the issues of the day and make this moment beautiful. Thank you.

[AuroraEvenstar]

Amazing work once again. XD I've noticed you did something new with the visuals (meaning you had more on screen than just simple fading from side to side). I liked it!

Keep up the great work......and I think your daughter did a wonderful job on the album cover!!!!!

[pinkyprincess06]

Beautiful! <3

This is just like a master piece. :)

[ernstcharly]

Your mom can be proud with reason. You sang this song with so much feelings.

It was a plaesure for my ears.

Lots of Love Ernst from holland

[Whirlystar]

You have, yet again, made my day :) x

[jgdmol4l]

never thought I'd say this but your interpretation is as good or better, even, than the original.

[stubsi93]

my eyes are wet now!! your voice is soo touching and everything's perfect :)

[arpankusari]

Hey Gavin, I am a student of Purdue... n I really really think you shud perform here... u r jus too awesome...

[BrokenMCY]

"crappy audio thing" hahahaa :)

[angelsanddemons100]

i love how you did the song. How you shifted from the power vocals of Josh to the mellow and really melancholic sound. Fits the emotion embedded in the song perfectly.

[FollowYourDreams1991]

again: love it! keep making such beautiful covers! i can listen to you for ages!

[cedgeb]

Beautiful rendition, your voice is perfect for this song.

[grsalzaval]

That's amazing.

[AnnaChess15]

Beauty voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnnaChess15]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rosebelforth71]

absolutly perfect Gavin, you are a master!!!

[SB9101]

It's beautiful.

[MaEUnfRaeD]

i think this is the best song you ever made a cover of, great voice and great playing :')

[1337MAXX]

yet another amazing song :D well done

[samigirl88]

Dang it, Gavin, why'd you have to go and make me tear up? This song strikes an interesting chord with me, because my parents are going through divorce right now. Even though it's mutual, my stepdad's bitterness and hurtful remarks toward my mom make this song resound in my heart for some reason.

The passion and tenderness in your voice could move even the hardest of hearts.

[PTKY6]

Absolutely amazing! I love it! Thank you =)

[HOTBOY727100]

you have a great soul

[mordancn]

As always Gavin, you are so talented and an amazing son. I love my granddaughter's art work. Mom

[hni0827]

Wow just wow this is amazing.

[onthebrightsidevlog]

Very nice!

[5angelgirls]

Omg, I love you. You put such emotion into this song, and I feel it. I hope Josh see's this. I'm going to tweet it to him.

[Kezzi3]

I'm too used to Josh at the moment... That's what I hate about covers I know so well, it's hard not to compare and usually I can't let go of the original. But somehow I think that you singing this live with a band would be amazing! *hint* Anyway, just my thoughts after hearing it for the first time. :) And you know I love you and your music (a lot!), so I guess I'm safe here... One tiny lyric mistake ;)

[Ryoura]

Beautiful! *-* Your songs, covers or not, are always gorgeous~<3 Keep up the amazing work! ^-^

[happybunny44]

You are absolutely amazing. =)

[mikidou99]

Great sound!

Great video!

What more can I say!

[JazzyDeBorja]

Ugh, never stop playing music ! Too beautiful. Love your voice.

[momentlikethisvid]

So amazing!
