This is my favorite song in the world. It really doesn't get the credit that it deserves. Such a fun and easy song to play, and so powerful. Comments would be appreciated. :}

  • In case you haven't seen it yet, there is now a John Denver concert version of this song on YouTube recorded wiht a full orchestra in Australia. Beautiful.

  • Just now, while checking out your comment, I noticed it on the Related bar. That's awesome. His version is so ridiculously beautiful.

  • So neat to find someone doing Eric's song, now you've got me wanting to hear Close The Door Lightly. I'm an old fan of his music & I saw him perform before he disappeared overseas. You've got a great voice & good pickin', too! Keep it up! Bet your mama sang Bumblebee to you as a babe...

  • Actually, my mom has no clue who Eric Andersen is. :p

  • you have a beautiful voice. i have loved this song for many decades. thank you for sharing it so beautifully.

    have you discovered leonard cohen yet? If you like eric, you should like cohen as well. check out 'if it be your will', 'suzanne', 'it seems so long ago, nancy; and 'hallelujah'

  • Thank you so much. No, I haven't discovered Cohen yet, but I'll be sure to check him out. I've only been into this folk music thing for a couple of years, and at the beginning it was just a John Denver obsession (it was his rendition of "Thirsty Boots" that introduced me to the song) that soon spread to James Taylor, Tom Paxton, Judy Collins, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie, and the like.

  • great cover my brother

  • When I heard Judy Collins' version of this, I was hooked on 'folk'. Yay Eric Anderson!

  • Great song and you did a great job. Thanks.

  • good voice!

  • great cover! :)

  • Nice job on an absolutely beautiful song!!!

  • words to describe the feelings evoked by hearing you play this song are hard to find. it is lovley to hear you play it, you sing wonderfly and the guitar seems to have a life of it´s own. beautiful! keep playing :o)

  • u seem so young to remember e. andersen. Nice vid, well done. my memories of the song r from a judy collins album and it had John Sebastian playing a beautiful ghostly cross harp. i love this ballad. good choice. you have a great voice.

  • Nice job.

  • Aside from your excellent taste in 60s songs - your rendition of this is exquisite. Your guitar playing compliments the gentle way you wrap your vocals around the lyric. Fine job.
