You should be discovered and turn into instant hit

[smlacarte]

I just fell in love.

[jar2h]

So, what's your story Derek? I can tell there is a lot of pain in this song for you. When you've had your heart broken, I don't think it ever fully recovers. It does however, give us magic like Derek singing this song.

[lbirgf]

This is amazing :)

[l00072878]

[jonsie7]

one of my all time favourite songs. this is outstanding!

[TheMightyIzakT]

I never thought I'd say it, but I do like this better than Boyce Avenue's. He puts more emotion in it. Great job. Subscribed.

[chasewilliams69]

I play acoustics in bars and whatnot, and alot of my covers have changed to the way you do them in your videos (i feel like i owe you money or something). The way i play iris is failry similar to this but im about to try this and see what happens. Love the vids man, first subscription i check when i get on here. Keep on playin boss. Thanks for the "inspiration".

[TheCarlcaluya]

Love this song.

[jayphants]

awe this is soo good!

your voice is awesome :)

[brenniboy]

you really should do "Matchbox 20 - Hand me down" !!! :)

[tcheid]

You should audition for NBC's The Voice!

[corey961dude]

I think that this is the best song that you have done you can only sing this when you have gone through what your singing excellent job :)

Tune the high E to the D string. (EADGBD) Chords: D A G Bm Leaving the high E string open on every chord.

[hansr6rd]
