    James Taylor had a knack for writing beautiful melodies around topics of intense emotional pain.
    You two effectively communicated that.

    Time for one of those TMI comments: a couple years ago, I was on a flight and didn't find out until I touched down in the evening that one of my best friends, who I knew primarily online but had met up with a few very meaningful times and often discussed future visits with, had passed away very suddenly while I was in the air. I woke up with this song in my head the next day, and ever since it's reminded me of him. That all being said, I can be picky about versions, but this cover is gorgeous and does it real justice.

  • @rebelsaint4305
    @rebelsaint4305 2 роки тому +11

    I've listened to this cover every day since my friend passed away, every second of this cover is better than any version of this song I've ever heard. So I'm happy to say that listening to this cover on a daily basis and watching you two play music using an acoustic and vocals like me and her did does help me to remember her better. This cover is a big part of my life during my time of processing and grieving over her loss. Thank you so much!

I was just a little boy when this was on the radio and it brings back a mixture of feelings and memories that I don't feel very often anymore. You two did a beautiful job on this song. You are truly gifted musicians and I'm so glad to have found you two. Thank you for this.

    Everyone knows these two are wonderful singers, but his guitar playing in this was exceptional.
    I’d love to hear either some Van Morrison or Sam Cooke from these two. (Those are two singers I think few can touch, but I believe if anyone can it would be this couple!)

    Julie delivered the vocal emotion and quaver you can only get on a live mic from someone who feels the yearning in the song, and Spencer was incredible touch on the guitar and harmony!
    One of my all time favourites now, any media, any genre!
    We need to see you on Unplugged someday soon!
    Look up Allison Young, another UA-cam songstress in Nashville. So many possibilities to collaborate and, like you, she loves to be true to the song, has a wide range of styles and brings to life older covers.
