I completely lost count of the number of times I’ve listened to this. Very lovely cover of this song. Makes for a smooth ride listening while driving through the countryside.
It already 5 years ago wow, and back watching this again. you man is one of my inspiration when I start learning fingerstyle. Thanks for the inspiration.
When I was six years old I broke my leg I was running from my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down I was younger then, take me back to when I Found my heart and broke it here Made friends and lost them through the years And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown But I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at ninety down those country lanes Singing to "Tiny Dancer" And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right But I was younger then, take me back to when We found weekend jobs, when we got paid We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown But I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at ninety down those country lanes Singing to "Tiny Dancer" And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill One friend left to sell clothes One works down by the coast One had two kids but lives alone One's brother overdosed One's already on his second wife One's just barely getting by But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home And I'm on my way, I still remember This old country lanes When we did not know the answers And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill
I have just watched 20 of your videos and I am so in awe and speechless that I have been unable to comment until now..😮 You make the guitar seem like the most beautiful instrument in the world. Thanks for sharing your touching talent with us 🥰
Dude. I am COMPLETELY blown away. I am learning this song on guitar, but singing the melody. The way you take these incredible melodies and mix them with the harmonies at the same time is an incredible skill that will take me years to learn. Keep making videos like this. I love your playing!
It's to play a clear sound when you pull a string with your thumb. Some people let their nail thumb grow longer to get that long nail instead of having that thumb pick. At least for my part, I like to use one too. ;)
+Enogimka Oh alright. I find it much difficult to slap with a thumb pick. I'm not sure if that means I need more practice with it, or I'm slapping with it wrong. Thanks for the reply though!
I love this!!!! There’s literally a castle on a hill behind you!! You’re so talented!!! I love the tune too! Keep up the awesome work!! Im so jealous of ur talent
I love how Eddie makes it feel like there are both the rhythm guitarist and that lead guitarist playing at the same time. I hope one day I'll be half as good as you on guitar.
Eddie I have never felt compelled to make a UA-cam comment before, nor will I likely ever make another. But I just wanted to say you inspire me to become a better musician. Keep up the good work mate.
Wowww this is sooo goood... its sooo diffucult to play the guitar..... I've just been learning for a month and u play such complicated strings sooo welll😍😍😘😘😀😀
your videos are beyond praise but what u r doing is beyond any good deed u r inspiring so many young minds to also develop their talent and love for music u r really awesome keep up the good work hope to see u reaching new heights keep on uploading new videos waiting.... :)
When I saw this I was so happy because it's a much more beautiful song than 'Shape of you' and it holds so much more meaning. And with your beautiful cover it just makes it that much better, thank you for blessing our ears with this
Your an amazing guitarist man. Quick question... Why do you use the speed pick so much? Is traditional use of the thumb nail not as effective? I have some of those picks but I can't seem to get used to them.

Thank you!!

Thank you! My channel is growing pretty well over the past few months

Eddie van der Meer the last few years now probably 👀
Eddie van der Meer now:
The pinky finger: LET ME PLAY
The thumb: nope
It already 5 years ago wow, and back watching this again. you man is one of my inspiration when I start learning fingerstyle. Thanks for the inspiration.
Yes bro I love this song also fingerstyle of eddie
Yeah Eddie is my inspiration.....😎😎😎😎
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did it right
But I was younger then, take me back to when
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we've grown
But I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at ninety down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home
And I'm on my way, I still remember
This old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it's real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
This guy needs to be noticed more along with the amazing Peter Gergely
That's amazing. It just puts the version I'm arranging to shame.
James Kettle just go with it. It just takes time and practice, go for it!😄
Lol that's how I always feel when I try to arrange something and then I watch Eddie, Peter, Gareth, or Andrew just outdo my version by miles haha
Walfrido Novero z
Fantastic cover Eddie! Your production quality is top notch and has been improving every video! Cheers from Canada!
That string tap you do after 'I'm on my way...' is magical!
Spot on! Masterful arrangement Eddie.
if this doesn't go viral i don't know what will..
apparently people would much rather see an Asian guy dancing with apples and pineapples
Akila Kavisinghe lol
Akila Kavisinghe your the first comment that has more likes than the comment u reply I ever saw
Oh my god, this cover is amazing! Beautiful sound, arrangement and scenery..
Everything is perfect, especially the way you play harmonics, it's really beautiful, i really like this one,
I have just watched 20 of your videos and I am so in awe and speechless that I have been unable to comment until now..😮 You make the guitar seem like the most beautiful instrument in the world. Thanks for sharing your touching talent with us 🥰
It not talent but hardwork
perfect scenario😍 cool winter breeze with morning sunlight!! I wish I lived in your country side😰
I can not understand how people dislike your music.
That arrangement is truely perfect!
love it
Those harmonics are on point man. This is one of your best covers, it is so accurate, incredible.
thanks for inspiring me to play more
Awesome!! Best Cover! Very good Eddie!
Would be somewhat heaven for me, and probably for other people, if you cover more of the popular songs. I could listen to your covers 24/7 :)
Awesome video! Great job, dude!
Every cover you play, they surprises me cuz I had never heard anyone made this cover better
Awesome I love the way you play the guitar it really speaks to me
Dude. I am COMPLETELY blown away. I am learning this song on guitar, but singing the melody. The way you take these incredible melodies and mix them with the harmonies at the same time is an incredible skill that will take me years to learn. Keep making videos like this. I love your playing!
Holy crap. Easily the best cover of the song I've heard yet. Amazing job.
Respect to you bro for putting up subtitles - turn them on viewers for the entire experience!!!
Im legit crying rn my 5 years of guitar seem meaningless i wish i could be as great as you, andrew foy or sungha:( this was a masterpiece eddie
distozicr r lol HONESTLY SAME BRO
this is channel will grow massive best arrangement ive heard ever keep up the good work!
finallyyyy! One of my favorite songs :) Great job Eddie! I love your arrangement!
Awesome video Eddie! Got a question though, why do you always have a thumb pick on?
It's to play a clear sound when you pull a string with your thumb. Some people let their nail thumb grow longer to get that long nail instead of having that thumb pick.
At least for my part, I like to use one too. ;)
+Enogimka Oh alright. I find it much difficult to slap with a thumb pick. I'm not sure if that means I need more practice with it, or I'm slapping with it wrong. Thanks for the reply though!
For some reason I found it so much more easier to make that slap with a thumb pick. The found is so much more loud and clear with almost no effort
+Enogimka Do you slap it on the flat side? I slap with it on the side (of the ring), and the strings kept getting pulled each time I slap it.
Practice makes everything! just keep trying since you find your own style.
Ur the reason why i started playing guitar 😊
Lmao he's the reason I stopped
@@ahamchandrasen678 XDDD
I sung this for our leavers assembly with the others in my year I get emotional just listening I love this :.)

I love how Eddie makes it feel like there are both the rhythm guitarist and that lead guitarist playing at the same time. I hope one day I'll be half as good as you on guitar.

Okay, I actually got chills thanks to this
Wow I have been learning ur version for a while now… but still can’t get the harmonics as clean as u… it’s so clean dude! Keep it up!
And that happened when the man and the guitar became one. A true masterpiece. Congratulations Eddie!

Eddie I have never felt compelled to make a UA-cam comment before, nor will I likely ever make another. But I just wanted to say you inspire me to become a better musician. Keep up the good work mate.

The BEST cover!!
