    What a great singer. Impressive. I sing, well. You nail this -- and it sounds effortless. Keep singing and write songs.

    This is hands down the best cover of this song I've ever heard. Seriously well done! Singing while playing a tough 7/4 lick, very impressive.

    Dude, you nailed this rather difficult 7/4 song. Awesome job. I hope Peter gets to see this video some day. You did him proud!

    I happened upon this video in the most unintentional way. Having viewed it, I walk away with two thoughts: 1. These cats ROCK! 2. Who would have ever thought anyone could perform this song more powerfully than Peter Gabriel? Awesome!

    @Delagott.PhilipAven 3 роки тому +3

    I find this song is difficult to do justice. There are so many things that have to come together correctly with the right pacing and expression - striking a very delicate balance between brisk beats and subtle finger picking.
    This rendition is really good. One of the best I've heard.

    It's so obvious that much of the quality of the cover is coming from having a deep understanding of the original. If you can feel it, you can sing it.
