I love this song and have done some attempts to cover it myself (not as good as this one obviously). But what I missed in this cover is 1. the build-up at beginning, this cover started out too big imo. 2. Those high notes in the end were too raw for me. Based on the rest of the song, Id guess that this man can hit those notes with his head voice.
