Everyone is talking about his singing but no one was mentioning how incredible his guitar playing is. His guitar playing alone made this performance and it’s almost not fair that he can do both so well.

[@guydouglas6094]

To do both - sing and play guitar very well is hard. Yes, his guitar playing is good. Good performance.

Unbelievable acoustic guitar player live. Awesome singer as well but his guitar does most of the singing

[@motiv8d111]

No matter how bad of a day, in front or behind me, I find myself here; the opening of this song brings me to another place where I can both cry and smile. All the things I am supposed to be don't matter . . . free is being simply me. His voice reminds me of the innocence I once had as a young lad. I'll come back, soon. Cause I'm on fire.

[@motiv8d111]

I'm back. Got the chills, listening... Had to light my fire again. 4 a.m. lets go!

[@amberfinnbogason1039]

This made me weep in all the right ways.

[@stevenresendes2250]

Just the intro is worth the price of admission

[@OnlySpoilers]

I am not exaggerating when I say, this cover haunts me. I first saw it years ago, and I still think about it from time to time. I always come back to watch it again to see if his voice and guitar are as spellbinding as I remember them. Just as poignant and absolutely beautiful each and every time! ❤❤❤
