Compelling photos, Michael. and that VOICE!! You have that soothing, yet powerful quality that Richie Havens possessed! He was my all time favorite singer! I saw him in concert 3 times!! You give me the same feeling when you sing!! My wife agrees!!
change is the one thing that will never change. to see beauty in the possibility and the tensions is so real... Love this. great share. your low Vocals here come off like an internal voice. so cool. Thanks for sharing, brother!
One of the world's special songs. Using the lower end of your voice added to the pathos. That was so sweetly done, Michael. Beautiful!. Had to listen to it again straight away.
Very nice, this video gives me much emotion: " The world spinning madly, It drifts in the dark " I don't understand why humans can't see that we are all the same, just one family. Thank you for sharing. Joseph
+Thumb Strummer thanks so much Graham, i actually hadn't planned on posting this, just recorded it to see what it sounded like… glad it is being enjoyed
it's Spring here;-) when you are ready, I'm here. Paperwork deadline mostly met...soon, mowing, cannot decide if I should till and build a fence, do the garden and have tomatoes in summer?
+cinderellalifestyle great…i'm visiting/helping out with Eth's grandma here in Ottawa, back home tomorrow… i'll record something for you asap.. probably by Friday… thanks!
Lovely song from Ochs, and a really beautiful cover! Great slideshow, I liked the pics of Dylan, and the one with Ali and The Beatles is awesome. Change is gonna keep happening, whether the Cruz's of the world want it or not! Thumbs up :)))
+max washington songs thanks, it is really hard to get your mind around these folks that are stuck in a mentality of earlier years… i wonder if it is all bullshit and they just adopt this perspective for power and $ ..the times have changed, we need love and peace and compassion and co-operation all the best Todd
What a wonderful cover, Michael. You did a fantastic job with this great song. I have lived in Birmingham, Alabama since I was six years old....ground zero for the civil rights movement. Birmingham has come so far since I was a child, but it still has a ways to go as many American cities do. Just got to keep fighting the good fight. Enjoyed this very much. :) Janet
This is a very haunting, sad and poignant tune Michael! I finally got around to listening and I just loved it. You bring something so comforting and magical to each performance and this one brings a tear to the eye, as well. The images you chose for your video compliment the meaning of these lyrics perfectly. Thank you so much. ~Jackie
Most wonderful cover here Michael. I have often wish I had the opportunity to meet Phil. I know his sister Sonny quite well. I always wondered why about Phil. When I was diagnosed Bi-Polar and started to put things together I gained a better understanding. Sometimes with that disease the Changes come too quickly.
Michael, such a beautiful cover of this most meaningful song. Kogawa and I covered this a while back ago. But this is so deep and so much feeling put into the song. I love the video.....you catch the meaning of the song so brilliantly......Well done my friend......Bill
Wonderful Michael, you stop me in my tracks... and I listen to your voice and it tells me things i had not known...
Compelling photos, Michael. and that VOICE!! You have that soothing, yet powerful quality that Richie Havens possessed! He was my all time favorite singer! I saw him in concert 3 times!! You give me the same feeling when you sing!! My wife agrees!!

This is my favorite Phil Ochs song. Nice one, Michael, a gentle version. This one reminds me very much of my late wife and the life we had together.
+Jack Bird such sweet sadness i imagine.. much peace to you Jack
Covered this so well Michael, a wonderful performance, just loved it, cheers, John

Very nice Phil Ochs cover, Michael.
A haunting song indeed.

Well done, Mike.....enjoyed it much....thumbs up
+Mark Marvin peace to ya, thanks

+cinderellalifestyle thanks m'dear . . i'd love to hear you do "When I'm Gone" by Ochs or maybe a collab in the spring?

This was shared on the Phil Facebook group Michael, such a lovely song and beautifully performed.

Enjoyed this, Michael. This is a new song for me. I'm liking that lower register in your voice... :)

+rhymesauce thanks so much
Exceptionally soothing cover brother:)
+outlawdasilva hey thanks Bruno.... i adore your new tune btw
super !
Sounds so great! Wish Phil Ochs was still with us too hear this excellent cover! Too sad he hung himself with a guitar string.
+Dan D. Dirges thanks Dan, i guess there are some performances that it would be good to break a string eh.
+Michael Hermiston yeah. I just saw a Phil Ochs Documentary. He had great passion. He never sounded more better represented here. deep rich vocals.
,GLAD YOU ARE BETTER. GOOD EVENING VERY PRETTY
+Lucy j. Young thanks Lucy, alway delighted to hear from you
Change is always good unless it leads us back to the pit.
