- Heart of the matter covered by Surath Godfrey & Brandon Gan.
Weekly live performance at Wala Wala, Holland Village (Friday nights) with Reverie!
I'm in awe of the of your voice Surath Godfrey. Not many can pull off the emotion and inflection that Don Henley has in his voice. But you sir nailed it and Brandon killed it on the six-string too. I love the lowered key you guys used, just beautiful...
Unexpectedly lovely version of one of my favourite songs. Full of emotion. ....very well done Surath and Brandon.
Stunning...I never would have thought that anyone could sing this song in as soulful manner as Henley....beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
Very Very Good!! Greeting from Brazil!
Amazing voice and interpretation! Don Henley should be proud of such disciples!
Surath ...i can't decide if you sound like Henley or Bryan adams more .....your covers on both are just sublime .....take a bow Guru !
I have searched all over youtube for an acoustic version of this song that had the heart and soul of the original. I even mentioned to my wife that I thought there wasn't a single one out there - I was definitely wrong. You guys "get" this song on a deep level and not only do it justice - you make it your own. Great job guys!
Thanks a lot for your kind comments :)
I totally agree, Watched several vids covering this song, some by other well known artists and none have come close. These guys knocked out of the park.
I was just looking at all covers of this song on UA-cam too. Same result. Not taking away anything from anyone who gives it an honest shot but I could sense something in about 5 seconds in every other cover where I just didn't believe the singer was actually going through the emotion nessesary to pull off this tune. I could tell this one was going to be good after hearing, "I got the call today.... " . Just perfect. Excellent singing and good guitar to boot.
Wow! I rarely make it through a whole cover, but I put this one repeat. It is OUTSTANDING! Great job!!
Man, oh man. You had me from the first key out... brilliant.
...hai commosso la mia anima , non succedeva più da tanti anni grazie....ti auguro un futuro meraviglioso sei un artista vero.....
I've listened to this quite a few times now and it gets better every time. It's not easy to do a Don Henley cover let alone to nail it! Great to know there's still talent like this still around:) Great job guys!!
A brown Don Henley! Dude, you have an amazing voice for this song! So well done! Props to your guitarist too ... not a perfect reproduction but a great accompaniment nonetheless. Great job, guys!
Thanks a lot :)
Yeah I agree he has a great voice for this song
Surath and Brandon, you guys Rock...you simply ROCK!!!
You are going to be a star, Bro you are a star. Love your work.
Bella voce. Bravo
Ive got to say that that is just about the best cover of any eagles song ive ever heard, i just hope that someday, somewhere, you boys will be discovered and be where you should be, there with the best on the world stage.
Les.
Beautifully done guys with absolute passion. Thank you for keeping Real music alive.
This cover blows me away! Amazing vocals and on point guitar! NICE.
Incredible! And I'm only discovering this 8 years after!!!
I would rather listen to you guys than what i see on new years eve television. You guys are something else. This is by far the best cover of this song that i have found. The only thing that i would do different, is absolutely nothing. Very well done.
Uhhhh...... I'm speechless. You guys did an INCREDIBLE job!!!!!
amazing voice, perfect.. very very admirable... please, sing and let us enjoy this talented voice and personality! thank you
Wow, I didn't expect a voice like that to come out of such a young lad's mouth - great stuff.
Well done boys - A+ singing, A+ guitar and the harmonies were'nt too shabby either!
Omg, two beautiful talents God bless you boys
Dear Boys!
I am a fan of Eagles from Hungary and I loved this cover. Congratulations!
amazingly awesome.
I sat for minutes trying to replace the expletive i wanted to write, and I didn't want to swear. The music is beautiful and I feel the presence of God.
Great version of this song.... Played with much passion. BG
You have great voice. I hope it takes you where ever you want to go. Guitar player is a great partner to your style. Wonderful job.
Highly Professional all the way around!...Brandon did an EXCELLENT accompaniment job with impeccable timing and Surath, you just knocked that Great song right out of the park by simply being yourself and letting your God-given talents shine through...You were my first LIKE back 7 months ago when I first came onto UA-cam...Still think yours is BEST "Straight From The Heart" COVER I've heard...You have a DYNAMITE Life ahead, as you are going to make many, many people, very HAPPY!...
Don Henley would give a nod and a thumbs up + to this !
Awesome voice!!!
Wow what a Great Voice you have there! This is one Great song sung by a terrific singer! Bravo

A very passionate performance. You have great expression that reminds me a lot of Don Henley himself :)
very nice indeed, great guitar and vocals, keep up the good work guys
Simply beautiful... Much♥️from🇨🇦
Wow.... wonderful job guys! What an great, emotional performance. I'm getting some old bandmates together from 20+ years ago for a reunion this summer and this tune is a last minute addition. I came across your video looking for a live version of this tune by Henley and the only one left on youtube is a really awful performance from an old LiveAid. I was reluctant to click on a cover but I was so, so, pleasantly surprised watching this! If our performance comes out half as good as you guys did it I will be smiling ear to ear! Keep performing & keep recording. Y'all have loads of talent.
Bravo! Thank you so much for this cover. The voice, the guitar playing, the delivery. Powerful and moving!!
You did it guys!!!! Awesome!!! A song difficult to sing great job!!!
I loved it! Brandon's unassuming yet spot-on accompaniment, coupled with your soulful vocal produced an incredible cover of this Don Henley heartbreaker.
great deliverance - nice voice fabric - great acoustic organic voice and lovely harmonies - backing vocals
Fantastic! Great job guys
omg...first im glad you even know this song

Always searched for the acoustic version on Hells Freezes over live concert and never founded. Then I found this cover better than original. So I stopped searching it. Great job.

That's beautiful....very moving cover.
This song found me when I needed it most. Thankyou for posting. Truly talented. Both of you
I'm Velvet and i found this right when i needed to.....so kinda the same. talking about it....that's too difficult for me right now but i will say....
...I'm losing my family all at once....and I don't deserve it.
....in short.
Velvet, I understand and have empathy for you, as my family (marriage) fell apart over two years ago.... My children and I are still hurting, and we don't deserve it either... Try to forgive.... I try to everyday, and I can say with all sincerity, it is very hard to do....Many times it feels impossible.... but, just keep trying... BG
BG....thank you ...it's a grieving process.
GOOD LUCK to you and you're children.
Never think it will happen to you kwim.
Your empathy is reassuring and Rare these days.❤
Wonderful job - you did them proud!!
Wow guys very well performed. Beautiful voice and nice guitar work. Keep practicing!!

Dude, you did an AMAZING job on this incredible song. You already have that raspy voice like Don Henley. You keep on with stuff like this and you will be an exact copy of his voice. Great job fellas. Keep up the good work and thank you for choosing a song like this rather than some crap that these new artists are putting out with no talent.
Amazing, guys!

Best cover i've seen on utube....gee it was good. And i don't usually write comments but i'm blown away. You guys are great !
Perfect rasp sound in your voice. Mastering the rasp like you did is what brings the soul sound to music. Great job.
This is my favourite cover song of any song. I like it as much as the original masterpiece.
