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.

This video just popped up on my Facebook feed on a page I follow this afternoon and I bursted out in tears. My brother passed away 6 days ago from lung cancer and your version was so beautiful. To be perfectly honest, I never heard of you before until now and then I looked you up and saw the rest of your videos and listened to them. I have to say you have an incredible voice and are so talented and you just gained a new fan, can't wait to hear more from you.
