    my comments..not posting and don't know why.If ANYONE sees,especially Mr.McCatney: I'm not particularly fond of the "Irish Tenor Sound." However.... have been surfing the net ALL DAY for a version of this to find something suitable to send to some friends.As a former pro opera/classical singer...and now Conductor/ voice teacher,I am compelled to say the following:THIS.Ultra wonderful! voice and piano, plain and simple.Unlike all of the bombastic"yelling" I've heard, this is treated truly in the manner of an "art song." The subtleties,nuances,expression,breath control,tonal placement.Just wonderful and Bravo! A grand thumbs up and my thanks for sharing this.

    Dillon, 100 years from now, computer/robots will do almost all jobs humans now do, and better at that. What they will NOT be able to do is what you have so clearly mastered with your singing. I'll venture to say that the future of the human race will consist of humans doing great art -- like your singing. Keep it up ... forever.

    I'm at loss of words of how you are not recognized as the genuine singer you truly are. No wiki-entry, Nothing big via google.. Market yourself Mr McCartney. You have the right to claim your place among the best. It's been a long time I heard such a wonderful voice; It nearly seems as if you would be doing playback. Precision like an instrument, feeling and sensitivity like the world's greatest singers. I wish you all the best. This comes from somebody who considers himself a fairly good singer :)
