[@danielvahnke3369]

A true troubadour - even my cat cried.

[@calvinjohnson4295]

Ive watched this video maybe a thousand times no exaggerating, wish there were more videos of him signing or any more info....

[@underlinedluke]

I feel like this is one of the sweetest videos I've ever seen.

[@miragealuor9828]

Not an easy song to sing, he did such a lovely job

I watch this video at least once every year. I liked it like 8 years ago. This is so genuine and beautiful. I love this video so much.

This is such a beautiful song, but this cover is just wonderful. This chap really gets the emotion over. I would give anything to have been sat in that room. I think I’d be crying - well done Chris this is beautiful

[@sopadepiedra7466]

Today youtube did very well with the recommendations

[@quocnguyen6474]

You can not not kill with this song!

[@arthurpaes9694]

Beautiful! Love how the noise at 1:44 becomes part of the song... "and I watch you go..." I wonder where he is now.

[@garyslater3037]

Just found this on my regular visit to Joanna's original. No one has a voice like hers but this guy carries it off with the subtlety and emotion it deserves. 👌

[@kenneld]

The original is one of my favorite songs ever. This is the only cover I'll ever accept.

[@sofiadorrell99]

This man stands out in every way with heart and soul
