    As a huge Mayer Hawthorne fan, I just said "HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?!" about 10 times just now. Jesus, what a great version.

      Mike Jenkins, I'm 68 and never tire of him, his music, it has a reflection of an older era

      I grew up in the 70’s and so many great artists back then but today it is hard to find great artists. But Mayer always brings me back to smooth, romantic and very well done tunes.

    @charlierhoad7 10 років тому +11

    This is way better than the original. I hate the original because it's literally just studio produced drums, a studio produced bassline (that's barely there) and studio produced vocals (there probably aren't any physical singers doing the harmonies in the recording). But this. This takes pure talent. To funk it up as much as this stud does. 'Tis a shame he's not a huge star yet.

  • @annamarie6712
    @annamarie6712 11 років тому +5

    I love the original, but I like this cover the best of all the covers I have seen, because it's got a different twist, when people try and cover it exactly as Lorde sings it, it always falls short!

  • @Nikki-ru4ui
    @Nikki-ru4ui 10 років тому +15

    He could sing the phonebook and I'd still love it! Hawthorne rules!

    I have an urge to make fun of his haircut, but I can't because the vibe of the song, his smooth voice, and sexiness has put me in a trance. I like the original song, but his cover is far better!

    A lot of people don't get that a cover isn't suppose to sound like the original. He made it his own obviously it's gonna sound different. Not your cup of tea don't worry the search bar is above the video go listen to the original, it's still there. Aside from that, I fucking love this.
