Wow, wow, wow, omg, what a freakin' amazing version this is!!! I love it!! This guy leaves me speechless every single time he opens his mouth from the very 1st time I heard him live on Carson Daly's show singing "Tracks of my Tears", which was done so beautifully! He's awesome!
Gavin is the man. I’ve never heard him perform a song the same way twice. He’s truly in the moment, interpreting the songs in unique ways every time he performs them.
The first time I heard this song my breath was taken away. It's just so beautiful and flawless, I can't stop listening. Every time I repeat it I keep telling myself "just one more time, just once more, just once more..." That was about 20 "once more's" ago.
Its very weird that Jeff Healey (the blind guy gavin refers to at the end of this video) died 3 days after this video was shot. He had a rare form of cancer. I initially thought Degraw was doing this out of rememberance.. but this was shot a few days before.. RIP jeff healey
Hi. yea, i just wanted to say too cgilmo78, uhm his music does sound alot alike, but every artists music sounds like the same you know? uhm, yea. and RL82, you know if you go to a gavin degraw concert theres females in defferent ages, i dont think that his fans are mostly teenage girls, mostley they are 30 +. (: And last but not least, he's is so talented, and i dont think you could EVER doubt that! ( sorry for the maybe bad english, im from denmark )
Gavin (from one musician to ..) I've always thought you were the Billy Joel of the new generation, my itro to you was actually the stripped CD You can make someone else's song your own, like Nora Jones or James Taylor, sign of long career ahead ..Dylan
Emotion? Soul? He sings like his jaw is wired shut. Also he didn't even get the words right in the chorus. I'm not sure what he's singing. "Tonight i lie the stars above" ? What does that even mean? This guy fails.
***** on the contrary. I think covers should be different. Did I say that it had to be exactly the same? No i didn't. I didn't care for the way he sang it with all the runs, I'm entitled to have my own opinion. Sorry/not sorry that it's different than yours.
There really isn't another male artist in the last 5 years to touch this guy !... he is f'in amazing... period.
Such a unique voice and unique style. He's so good. Great cover, Gavin

He did some unique runs with this song and made a special song even more heartfelt. Great job!!

His best performance of this song ever, Perfection from beginning to end.
100th comment for this amazing performance which I will forever love ❤️
I would surely hope that Jeff Healey smiles down every time Gavin sings this song!! I know I do! Fantastic job Gavin!!!!
How funny I painted that piano for Gavin ,never got to see it being played. How cool.
Morrell Roberts No way! That's so cool! I always loved his glittery piano ✨🎹
Would you mind sharing the back story!?
i love being able to watch these great videos and know a week ago we got to see this live for our own eyes!
he's the real deal, thanks for sharing Nashville Amy. I'm Nashville Mark.
íncredibly beautiful- how can he be so talented! I love everything he sings!
Hiatt's version is still my favorite. Straight from the heart. Such a brilliant and under-appreciated singer/songwriter.
Can't stop playing this. So good . . .
I just love this guy. It's so nice people can actually sing. The human voice and breath is a very sensual thing.
One of my favorite songs by Jeff Healy and I loved Gavin before but even more now!
The first time I heard this song my breath was taken away. It's just so beautiful and flawless, I can't stop listening. Every time I repeat it I keep telling myself "just one more time, just once more, just once more..." That was about 20 "once more's" ago.
The Jeff Healey band released this. song in 1989.
Love that version.👍🏻
Beautiful and you done a great job singing and a great voice
I love gavin. There is nothing that he can sing poorly, everything he sings is so wonderfully perfect
So good, thank you for sharing your talent with us. A true gift.
speechless..soooo good. totally underrated musician
Never heard such talent before! I love Gavin...and think its beautiful that he has such a gifted voice AND can play his own music!
This is a song released by the Jeff Healey Band in 1989. Listen to them & Read about Jeff Healey. He’s amazing.
Thank you for the upload...xx just great xx
Love him singing this song and how he mentions Jeff at the end!!
My goodness. There isn't a *single* flaw in this performance. Such, such talent.
So much feeling goes into his songs! i just love him!
My hat's off to him for doing this. Never really liked his own stuff but this shows his good heart :D Great guy, no doubt about it.

This is my parent's wedding song, I think my mom liked this version a lil more when she heard it
I love his soulful voice ....amazing !!!
Can't get over
His voice is so soothing
Fantastic.
This guy is a real talent..
Robert Everman Ikr? Such a gem! I love this man & his music
I love this song a lot people outside say you have eyes and a loving heart like a special Angel so does a special friend he says the same thing
Yes i love this song the reason why is because you are my special friend and always will be
I like this with the piano. I'm used to Jeff Healey's version, but I like this really well.
decent! but Jeff's version is best!!!
Chris Westhoff Not denying that for a second. He was a fantastic talent, sadly gone too soon.
This is so beautiful
the first time i heard this song it made me cry
Beautiful. I have always loved this song. It's sad to think that Jeff Healey died the very next day.
excellent video!
Nice...what a voice, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it's great to see someones picking up the ball where we dropped off.
beautiful
Anyone else hear and appreciate the little vocal play around 34 seconds on "align"
Its very weird that Jeff Healey (the blind guy gavin refers to at the end of this video) died 3 days after this video was shot. He had a rare form of cancer. I initially thought Degraw was doing this out of rememberance.. but this was shot a few days before.. RIP jeff healey
Yes hes the BEST !!!💋💓🎵😍
I
I agree that few people on the planet could ever sing this song the way Jeff Healey BUT Gavin is a close second!!!
Amazing...
I absolutely Gavin's version of ♥ this song!
Once there was a guy who luved this blue eyed girl and she was/is his angel eyes forever...always JGL
Yes, he passed away in March of this year. RIP Jeff, we miss you dearly.
How have I not heard this one?
Holy cow. I just read that 3 days after this cover Jeff Healey died. A day after you've uploaded this.
Jeff Healey rip
:D. yup,he's unbelievable.
This is music
would love to slow dance w/ love to this version
Recorded 2 days before Jeff Healey passed away...
I L♥VE this version! Had it on my project playlist for almost 2 years and now the link is broken :(
Tonight i ll ask the stars above. I wish he would sing the right words
Rest in peace Jeff
jesus on the keys
He did a live performence on sirius xm and covered this song
and appreciating people playing his songs which are great... Don't be a hater, it doesnt look good on you.

( sorry for the maybe bad english, im from denmark )
BUT - the version that everyone recognises and is most familiar with is the Jeff Healey one.
I didn't know that. Hiatt is quite the songwriter.
wowza! I am not a big fan of this song when jeff healey sings it, but I am lovin' this!
That didn't get nearly enough applause
J.P. Hardy There were only a few of us in there.
those guys that mugged him was jealous of him, people are so cruel
Gavin (from one musician to ..) I've always thought you were the Billy Joel of the new generation, my itro to you was actually the stripped CD You can make someone else's song your own, like Nora Jones or James Taylor, sign of long career ahead ..Dylan
Great song but John Hiatt, not Jeff Healey wrote it.
John Hiatt wrote this song, not Jeff Healey. Check out John's version on his greatest hits album...way better than Healey's
@666Toiletfish666 I'm not lying when I say that I feel sorry for you
utrolig,utrolig,utrolig, elskede du,thats norwegian, it said it all, i,ll tell you that,
he has bad hair he stated once
Emotion? Soul? He sings like his jaw is wired shut.
Also he didn't even get the words right in the chorus. I'm not sure what he's singing. "Tonight i lie the stars above" ? What does that even mean? This guy fails.
Awful. Way too many misplaced weird runs. Ruined it
***** on the
contrary. I think covers should be different. Did I say that it had to be exactly the same? No i didn't. I didn't care for the way he sang it with all the runs, I'm entitled to have my own opinion. Sorry/not sorry that it's different than yours.
