This is what I call "covering with heart". When a talented musician is really and truly absorbed with the music s/he likes the resulting performance look and sound like those done by you, Andrea! All the very best!
You are so dialed in, my brother. I play pretty much all the songs you do and, I'd be proud to accompany you. You understand the nuances of the music and we who share that with you are members of a very special fraternity.
5 stars, 2 thumbs and 10 toes! The sound absolutely fills the speakers and, to boot, I can watch you fingers and learn how to do it, too, if I have stamina.
Andrea - absolutely superb! Not just your guitar playing but your voice also. It takes a special person to sing this song and stir the same feelings the original does. One of the best covers I've heard.
You are awesome and I haven't heard of any artist in my 66 years doing a cover so well.Its exactly the same as the original song.Life's a long song and with your kinda singing we can sing away our blues. You do amazingly perfect covers of all Tull numbers.Superb!
Andrea. Like the german comment said, 'what can I say?' except that I listen to most of your songs quite often and I only hope that Ian himself has seen some of them because out of ALL the good covers on here YOURS ARE MOST DEFINITELY THE BEST. I've been playing most of these songs since they first came out and I'm still nowhere near your standard. I talk about you to all my friends. From: the person who you made cry on his birthday with listening to Sossity. Mark
I agree with betonauton that the genious of Ian's compositions truly shine when you perform his songs with only your voice and an acoustic guitar. You are incredible, and if you sold a CD with all of your video tracks on it, I would certainly buy it!
I can t be greatful enough Andrea for you sharing this !watching you play isn't only an excellent technical support but also such a great source of inspiration.Thank s for openning up to us ,i ll always have a vision of you singing with the heart wide open everytime i ll strum this beautiful poem...
I remember this being released when I was a kid. It has always been my very favourite song and the one I will have played when I shuffle off the planet. You have done a fantastic job, well done.
Andrea che dire, semplicemente fantastico. E anche un po di sana invidia, non sai che darei per suonare e cantare le canzoni dei Jethro come fai tu. Non posso che cercare le altre tue cover!
Just one word - Awesome! Ok, sorry, I have a few more. I've been playing a halfway decent version of the song for like 30 years now. Thanks for showing me how to really do it right.
this a truly incredible performance, the guitaring as far as i am concerned is top notch along with vocals over the top of a complex melody. well done, im using this video to learn it!
i have to say, you sing with the same accent as Ian Anderson, i can imagine it to be quite hard if you are not a full time english speaker, you do it flawlessly. well done.
Hey man, you are doing and succeeding (with Tull cover) what I only aspire to in terms of playing these wonderful songs. Hat's off to you on capturing some of that good Ian essence.
The best acoustic cover I have herd of this song so far and nice vocal cover as well. I am a dedicated flute player covering Jethro Tull. wish I had you in my band!
@andreavercesi Ciao Andrea, Volevo unirmi al coro degli entusiasti..Sinceramente credo di avere consumato il mouse sul "play" dei tuoi brani.Penso che "Dun Ringill" e "Life's.." siano gli apici di Ian Anderson,cime inarrivabili alle quali tu hai fatto onore quanto meritano,impresa a dir poco titanica.Dai tuoi brani traspare,oltre che talento,anche enorme amore e attenzione per quei "piccoli" dettagli vocali,emotivi,di fraseggio strumentale che hanno fatto grande Ian..e te! Grande. Paolo
That was the song why I felt in love with Tull. That was in 1989 when I was 18 and still holds on.
Well, Love's a long song too.😉
I'm an Tull fan for 42 years & they are my favorite group of all time. You have done great justice to this wonderful song! Kudos!
the playing is so good, it's easy to overlook that fact that the vocal is actually outstanding here too
Without doubt, the best Jethro Tull covers. Not only is the playing outstanding but also the vocals.
you are the ultimate Jethro Tull cover guy ! No one better !
This is what I call "covering with heart". When a talented musician is really and truly absorbed with the music s/he likes the resulting performance look and sound like those done by you, Andrea!

...... bravo Andrea...... La ascoltavo 45 anni fa...... Sempre emozionante !
Andrea - absolutely superb! Not just your guitar playing but your voice also. It takes a special person to sing this song and stir the same feelings the original does. One of the best covers I've heard.

You do amazingly perfect covers of all Tull numbers.Superb!
I bow before thee! Excellent!!! THAT is how you learn a song, people!
Wow...very nice! I have listened to Tull for almost 40 years. That was terrific. I don't say that lightly. :-)
I keep coming back to your videos, You are a Master at Tull music. Bravo
We will meet in the sweet light of dawn. FRICKIN LOVE THAT SONG!! Great job, thanks bro.
Great skills and great voice! Thank you! You've made my night!
Quite a simple song, but so pretty. Thanks Andrea. Jethro Tull is phantastic, you make it sound good too.
Do you see that thing in the floor? Yeah, that's it, it's my jaw! Absolutely great!
perfect cover, hope you do it again in good quality

Bravo Andrea! Great version of this Tull classic.

All of your Tull covers are tremendous, singing and playing!! Keep up the good work.
