All about interpretation. His interpretation of this song, for him, was spot on. He Sings this from a different vantage point. This is someone who has lived a lot of his life and has a lot of life experience. This is also someone who has experience from a different gender. If sometimes we tend to forget that Males can also be full of emotion. Great job!!!

had a rough morning and this popped up on my tv; i almost skipped past it but something told me i needed to watch it.. instant tears rolling down my face. your gentle playing and the words complimented by your age and feelings conveyed so much and brought a different colour to the song. thank you for playing and uploading when you did; i hope in doing so it’s brought back as many good feelings and satisfaction to you just as it has for many others. wishing for blessings, ease, and lots of happiness for you. (hope it’s not too much, you just happened to tug my heart strings when i needed a cry the most.)

[@mitcht2717]

[8/26/2024] What a lovely cover! I'm 70 and watching and listening to you makes me think I should have learned guitar and sung for my own enjoyment. But this cover pulls things out of Billie's song that we might not hear listening to Billie - you help me to hear that this really is a great song! And it fits you. You and Billie Eilish (and Finneas) are birds of a feather - MUSIC is how you stick together and the "of a feather" is the covering or the cover you've provided. Terrific. P.S. never seen your name before today.
