    Absolutely the greatest rendition of this beautiful song I've ever heard.

    I thought I had left a comment here already, but it seems I was mistaken.
    This is far and away my favorite rendition of this song (yes, I like it better than any of Leonard Cohen's performances, and the less said about the artists who chop the final verses off the better) -- the unaccompanied guitar and the rawness of your singing voice combined to produce a version that tugs at the listener's soul. Like many other commenters, I have come back to your cover again and again, and I will continue to do so, for as long as the video remains up. Thank you.

    Thanks for doing this! So rarely do you hear an unabridged cover, and you put your heart and soul into this one. It shows.

    Beautiful cover!! Love the song but no one records it with all 7 verses. Love it, thank you for sharing.

    The last 2 verses are unreal idk how so many artists could leave them out. This is my Favourite rendition of this song. You give me shivers every time man.

      I know your comment is 8 years old but I absolutely agree. The only thing I would do different imo, is I think the 5th and 6th versus should be switched. Because to me it kinda fits how one might say the didn't say the word and ask that then say maybe there's a God who exists.

  • @radamest2
    @radamest2 3 роки тому +2

    Thank you. By far, THE BEST rendition ever. Thank you, also, for singing all the verses. The remorse and broken spirit portrayed in the final verses, and the hope of redemption that is the final verse, are significant and often left out. I don't understand how anyone can say they love this song and yet cut out those final verses. It does the song a terrible injustice. Thank you again for sharing this.

  • @schreck425

    This is my favorite song. i probably listen to about 15 different versions about 1000 times a day. This is easily one of the best i've heard and i really like how you did all the verses instead of just five like most people do. Also thanks for actually mentioning Cohen as well, it seems like a lot of people think Buckley wrote it.

  • @UndecidedMusic88
    @UndecidedMusic88 11 років тому +10

    Words can not describe how amazing this is to me.
    I love the way you made it unique, and kept the spirit, power, and emotion of the song.
    I am not lying when I say this is my favorite version of one of my favorite songs of all time. I enjoy this more than any other version, professional or amateur, I have ever heard.
    You've earned me as a fan.
    Thank you.

  • @johne7345
    @johne7345 12 років тому +2

    Thank you very much for covering all seven (surviving) verses of this modern classic -- the words are as brilliant as the melody, and I always really miss the omitted verses when I listen to any of the 4- or 5-verse performances out there. I have heard several interpretations to which I could happily listen repeatedly, and I am pleased to add yours to this high-quality collection.

  • @blairalexander1387
    @blairalexander1387 10 років тому +27

    Do you know what really makes this rendition? It's real; it's raw; it's living. It isn't rehearsed, or auto-tuned. Mistake, off key (it's not), it's all open to error, intimate. It's real........ what most music today isn't.

  • @gabelind1918
    @gabelind1918 7 років тому +3

    This is awesome. I was looking for any cover that had the last two verses and this was more than just some version that fit the qualifications. The pure emotion of the story in the song was perfectly captured and I applaud you on this and all songs/covers of yours I get to hear going forward.

    I just wish I could see your left hand to see how you're playing it. I sing this for my daughter at night to help her fall to sleep but I just play the simple chords. I wish I could see the little details you put in there to make it sound so much better.
