He sounds like Peter Gabriel.

[@eelieass]

IKR!

[@katedechant643]

and Phil Collins!

[@Pozland306]

Yepper, my wife (who's not familiar with Genesis/Peter Gabriel, only heard a couple of his songs) asked me if that's 'The Gabriel Guy'. Nope! :D

[@BryghtTheLyght]

@@katedechant643 IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT TOO!😂

[@Aldodan09]

Bro, facts!!!

[@Sschwartzy]

Peter Collins over here. Being a fan of Collins, Gabriel and Genesis, I really like this guy

[@MrDani99xtrm]

I really love this version for that added verse. “Are you never gonna say it, till I do? Give me one more chance. I love you. You’re never gonna say it, till I do. Give me one more chance. Let me spin and excite you.” It kinda has a nice spin than the original.

[@jakefriedman6623]

If you listen to studio version (def. the one with Chance) you can hear him say "Oh you never gonna say it" in the background toward the reprise/ ending choruses.. It's great!

[@JaredfromSA]

Tru....the studio version does have it in the background. Very subtle though.

[@SevnZeroFive]

Daniel Dan oh you're never gonna say it **** not are you

[@jessestradaa]

This is my wedding song :') So happy that it is

[@Narg98]

I don't get it. A lot of people had that as a wedding song... It's not the happiest love song for a wedding :P. It's like my parents dancing on "Every breath you take" from the Police. Kind of missing the point :P.

[@NateCConcerts]

Absolutely love his voice, this version is perfect for how it lets him shine. Saw him do this with Bon Iver at Bonnaroo last year and I've been needing to see him live again since

[@alexmathewmendoza]

So beautiful, such a great minimal rendition of this track.

[@gcoyne8078]

Tone of his voice is like something from the 80s....amazing

[@BryghtTheLyght]

He sounds like Phil Collins

[@ColinFowler]

Peter Gabriel

[@andreapalomino7260]

Yes , peter gabriel vibes 💜

[@jonathanclark6489]

honestly both phil and gabriel

[@nataliebryn2313]

Very Peter Gabriel (In your eyes)!!! I love it! Beautiful song! ❤

[@marcelshariek1135]

Anybody else getting Phil Collins vibes? ❤💯

[@Jonathanalankieffer]

It's Peter Gabriel, not Phil.

[@mgmg116]

He sounds like a mix of Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and Steve Winwood

[@chadopitz6883]

Gorgeous rendition, maybe my favorite version. Perfect ending.

[@alexgreen4177]

Reminds me of Phil Collins

[@thesunshinefactory3016]

Yessssssssss!

[@aubreyoftheshire]

Imagine if he covered it 😍

[@BbyJLP]

I thought the same thing!

[@DanimationMovies]

This is beautiful. Made me cry

[@sargentppeper]

Cool very Peter Gabriel sounding.. “Your Eyes”👍🏼

[@primitifsound]

I want Francis x Kanye album!!

[@tyr0n313]

He sounds like a young Peter Gabriel.

[@chaseleo2706]

Drives me nuts how he hits an off note at 0:39 and the auto tune picks it up and it sounds terrible.... he can tell too and makes an "Oh shit" face.

[@nefaco]

Chase Leo Nice one ... he shakes his heas right after

[@Rmenzies11]

Stunning version. What a cool voice.

[@MsDjSlick-]

Maybe its Peter Gabriel son 😮

[@Amber-tq8kc]

He’s giving Peter Gabriel vibes with his voice….so good

[@puprlevocalste7993]

He sounds like Lin Manuel Miranda😀

[@Stimulated_Vision]

This guys is amazing!

[@methembethomastshuma9587]

"you've got your mother's eyes...."

[@davidmckesey7119]

He knows his voice

[@dubisirie2]

awesome. good job, man. you never cease to impress

[@wolfe4683]

i never knew it was "to make it up to you" wowww

[@mattrxnxme9594]

That outro is insane!!!

[@alessandroscialanga2430]

and the sound of prophet

[@Arneaud]

This will be the song at my wedding.

[@littlemoccasin5678]

Frankie is a smooth operatee. ❤️

[@nosihlemevana9915]

Love this song

[@MalikCreek]

His voice is like a new version of Phil Collins💯…and I am huge Phil Collins Fan.

[@kerriegreen9057]

Nah! Peter Gabriel :)

[@akshaynilkanth9671]

i wished he got up and started dancing

[@MattHachtel]

anyone have these chords??

[@lgoptimusl73]

So cool, I love it

[@early6630]

I messed up and let the best thing in this world go. I pray that we can be back together. Love you L.

[@porrasbrand]

Same here man

[@macbain59]

much different than the studio version. not bad, but i much prefer the more full song especially including CtR

[@dwilliams8809]

macbain59 👎

[@haret0n]

he is very expressive but not a reliable singer pitch wise. not naturally tuneful. he has to struggle for it. his dancing is similar. not graceful or in time. but very expressive which is lovely in itself.

[@FrozenSurf]

I'm loving his Barton Fink hair here.

[@chewewmosqueda7607]

beautiful

[@alinemack]

Phil Collins

[@heatseeker9738]

Wrong, Peter Gabriel

[@imshaun4563]

Either one doesnt hurt to have a new one of those for our generation. Need this heart felt music back in our lives

[@screamblakefoster]

I fucking love you

[@bigbigbed]

love this

[@nosihlemevana9915]
