Here I am ten years late to discover this gem! I loooove your voice and your version of this amazing song! Glad to see you're still active after all these years! :)
You covered this song soooo beautifully. I have listened to your cover hundreds of times and each time my heart is moved so deeply. The way you interpreted this song is so unique and special. Listening to this video has truly become a part of my daily life. I have struggled with terrible depression for the majority of my 29 years in this life and this song will always hold a very special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
Hi Angales! I'm really moved by your lovely comment. I'm so pleased that my version of this song has something to offer you. I wrestle with depression myself, and I find music to be a really important part of my emotional comfort and expression. I sing my feelings. It's beautiful that people can unite in this way, too! Thank you so much for leaving your lovely comment :)
These songs mean so much to me and the way that you cover them is so amazing and such a different style that it makes a totally new meaning and I love it. Your style of these songs gives me Goosebumps And hits me right in the feelings
my.... wow.... i chose that song as my funeral song and always hoped when that day came someone could sing it right.... what you did with this song made me weep with joy. Thank you for that.... thank you so much!
coolhandvader thank you so much! I'll be honest with you and tell you that I'm so disorganised I fear I'd never get round to doing it! Please feel free to download the audio from the video and hopefully one day I'll get my ass into gear! :)
The horn break in this song is one of my favorite things ever, but this doesn't even need it. The way you have arranged this song is just awesome and stands on its own. Im glad I found your channel
Oh wow! Usually when I listen to a cover I end up singing along and only really hear the instruments differently. This time though, I couldn't sing along.. I could only watch and listen to the best piece of music I've ever heard. Thanks so much!
Just want to say that this rendition is wonderful. I listened to this only a few months after you posted this during a hard time for me. Today, while listening to memorable music, I reminisced about hearing your renditions and was overjoyed to find it Thanks so much for posting this and I hope all has been well for you since.
I've been listening to Streetlight Manifesto for a few years now, I can honestly say I've never heard a cover as beautiful as this one! you got pipes and can play beautifully! keep it up
Thank you for this. I first heard your version like 6 years ago. This song is devastatingly sad and has only become moreso as my life has gone on and I've gone through more. The way you cover it captures a vital snapshot of what means to suffer at the hands of others and at the world. Thank you for creating something that helps me feel understood. ❤️
just came across your channel by searching french music: love your voice the look your simplicity and original filming with different cameras/phones. Melancholic romance songs fresh view perspective. May I give a piece of advice? DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING! love your work and original postings. I subscribed because i like it very much. Listen on a loop this song for a while. I will get a guitar to my kid too.
When I found this I was completely amazed. Streetlight is one of my favorite bands and this song has been a staple in my life for a long time now. I just recently found your version and it's beautiful. Thank you for this. seriously.
Two great things in my life: ska punk and folk guitar. As well as the incredible guitar and brass etc the lyrics to this song, and many by Streetlight, are awesome! I love that Toh Kay has created folk guitar versions of some of their songs. Therefore, I mean absolutely no disrespect to Toh Kay when I say that I much prefer this cover over Toh Kays' version. Alice Banks - You have absolutely made this song your own and deserve much respect!! Keep uploading your work pal X
Thank you so much for commenting! I've had such a horrible day and your comment has really boosted me. I'm so pleased you like it! I do requests if there's anything you'd like to hear :)
Also.... could you pleeeeease do a cover of "The Hands That Thieve".... how much I'd love to hear your version of that. Also, thank you for existing, ha... you've got an amazing talent!!
christopher perger Wow, thank YOU so much for your comments! It means so much to know that people enjoy what I do! :) I'm stuck in a bit of a musical rut at the moment, so a request is just what I needed! I will put my mind to it and see what I can come up with!
you're quite welcome, and am pleased to know i've been able to motivate you something else... i absolutely love your original, "Unwelcome Guests", and was wondering if I could get the chords from you because i'd like to make my own cover of it :) Cheers! Crispy
christopher perger Still working on The Hands That Thieve! As for unwelcome guests, I put the capo way up on 7 and play something like C, G, Am, F loop for the verse. The chorus is Am, G, F, C.... and I'm getting a bit lost trying to remember but hopefully that gets you some way to figure it out... if you're still interested in doing so, haha I'm so disorganised! Sorry it took so long to reply! But a great big thanks for the interest in my original, that's a really great boost :)
This is amazing. this song was 1 that I wished he would have put on streetlight lullabies and you have filled that beautifully. I never comment on youtube, but this, credit where it is due, is F*cking amazing. I look forward to other streetlight covers, you have gained a subscriber
Stumbled upon this not knowing what to expect. An acoustic cover of this song? Come on. But after listening, I gotta say you did a fantastic job putting a different spin on the song. Very well done.
great cover, honestly, i consider it a shame that you don't don't have the time to make more videos, I wish you would do a Dear Sergio cover, that's always a crowd favourite .
Idk if youre online on this channel but just wanted to say that thats the bestest cover of all, just as emotional as toh kay, i always, but always get here and listen this masterpiece till i durnksleep, i hope you the best even if you dont give us these huge pieces of emotions anymore lol
I agree with comment of “angalesfrodrick” Over the years I’ve listened to this wonderful cover dozens of times if not more. I wouldn’t be surprised if I left some dorky comment saying something like “I wish I was Toh Kay, so I could have coffee or breakfast, or several offspring with you.” I’m too embarrassed too read all the comments and see if I said such a silly thing. I guess I have now lol. 🙂 But alas, I’m not Toh Kay. I don’t have one tenth of this beautiful young woman’s talent. I hope you’re doing well and still making music. Thank you for sharing your talent. I hope all is well in your world.

God damn, goosebumps all over. Beautiful voice and playing. Wow
I just fell in love with your voice. awesome job, I think Toh Kay would think so as well.
This was beautiful. Made me cry.
this is absolutely amazing, well done!!
Brought tears to my eyes. Please upload to spotify or somewhere. Im sure a kickstarter budget for studio time could easily be met.
coolhandvader thank you so much! I'll be honest with you and tell you that I'm so disorganised I fear I'd never get round to doing it! Please feel free to download the audio from the video and hopefully one day I'll get my ass into gear! :)

I'm a long time fan of Streetlight Manifesto and your cover was fucking awesome! Earned a sub for sure and keep up the great work!
Hope I'm not the only one who clicked on this in the streetlight subreddit. This is fantastic, abhorrently low number of views
Sweet cover!! Your singing tone and accent bring an all new dimension to the song.
