Jay Brannan - Good Mother (Jann Arden cover)

[@bluechance47]

OMG. I have loved this song for years and years. What a worthy cover. So simple and gorgeous. She closes every show with this, as she should. I think she is the queen of heartbreak and you are the prince. In a good way. Thank you.

[@Thunesite]

Glad to see that I am not the only one that keeps revisting... HE is actually divine on this song. Love him!!

[@normanbfifteen3468]

日本？のしんみりした洋楽メドレーみたいな動画にこの曲が入っていて、それから好きになって、1年前くらいから沢山聴きに来てます。 もうこの方活動されてないんですかね…？ 声と歌い方とても好きです。

[@davismontgomery]

Jay, you do this song so much justice. Loved it before, but love it so much more now. And it's awesome live...

[@igoyarpus]

I first heard your version of this song when you were here in Vancouver. Your voice is so beautiful, I've been hoping to hear you singing this song since that concert and my heart melts everytime I hear you sing this. I really hope you can have this as one of your tracks in your first album... I really really hope so.

[@digitalperversion]

completely gorgeous. thanks for the beautiful version.

[@Thunesite]

I keep coming back to this version, somehow I think it's better than Jann Arden's...just phenomenal! I love Jann's version especially--without doubt. But you, you make me love, LOVE, this song!!

[@rinabell83]

Stunning. This is just stunning.

[@duhpython]

Great job! I like to listen to you sing this song. And of course Jann!

[@divaenvy]

Jay, You perform some of the best and unique covers of anyone on you tube!That was awesome! Jann would be Proud of that rendition!

[@SparkyThought]

As a Jann fan (and a Canadian) I say thank you! That was a wonderful cover of her song.

[@akqguy]

Wow... thank you. This song is one of those that holds deep meaning for me. And to hear it covered by someone else with a beautiful voice and obviously moved by it as well, makes me want to cry. Strange reaction I know, but thank you. Q

[@Lilyem]

I absolutely love Jann and this song so when I saw that Jay was covering it, I was thrilled and a little scared! lol.... FANTASTIC cover! Thank you so much!

[@mikeyirish1967]

SO glad you covered this, Jay. I didn't think any Americans knew Jann outside of Canada (aside from the more forgettable "Insensitive"), and this happens to me favorite song she sings. I hope she hears your version!

[@metta8]

This one if my fav so far. I like the way you sing it better than the original. I can feel and relate to it a lot more.
