[@mikesharpsongs]

@@the.mr.beacher thank YOU, kind sir!

[@paulaallen6649]

Stunenly Heartbreaking beautiful ...DADS AND SONS REACH OUT ...BREAK THE CYCLE ...from a daughter who never got that choice ❤❤❤

[@2460welshguards]

No recording studio, no backing vocals , no editing crew , just a guy in a mall with a plug in amp ... brilliant

[@bigteddy66]

Totally agree, a proper musician.

[@canefan17]

Yep

[@clevelandmortician3887]

He gets a lot of sound from his instrument

[@dandtintennessee7675]

Yep. Unfortunately the people with the most talent don't wind up playing stadium shows. This guys is very talented.

[@antoniovelazquez8356]

Talento desestimado y así como el hay tantos, le sale increíble la canción y sin los coros que yo pensaría que sin coro no se escucharía bien y le quedó maravillosa

[@deborahriley8136]

Wow. Just. . .wow. 😢

[@kathybooth1408]

Wow!!! What talent this man has!

[@jesusprof]

I can't understand why peopele don't stop to hear this incredible cover. Fully amazing guitar and voice. Thank's.

[@nipperdog7777]

I KNOW. I always stop. And always drop some cash.

[@tommyk6719]

Imagine sitting and eating your appetizers while drinking your ice cold beer….this performer starts in on the “living years…..” Really gets you thinking. Show stopper for sure!

[@sportkiteflyer]

Michael Palmisano brought me here. Beautiful, man! Simply beautiful! ❤

[@sixstringjc]

Same!

[@mikesharpsongs]

@@sportkiteflyer thanks so much for coming! ☮💜🎶

[@DC-rs6bi]

Lovly tone to the voice mate 👌 keep banging them out, sticking it to the man the world needs it

[@availablelight999]

Just lost my father at 9 06am a few days ago. We were never the best of friends but this song is him and me all day and I hope he's happier in that next place. Love you dad. Amazing cover.

[@brianruwoldt7422]

I'd just had a fight with my Dad that night and went to sleep listen to that song. I'd went to work as usual the next morning, about 10: 00 am I'd got a call from sister telling me dad had died. I was in shock, but my workmates helped me out. It's 30years since then, but l never forgotten about my Dad or that song. So people don't take the people that you love for granted.

[@mikesharpsongs]

@@brianruwoldt7422 #TRUTH !

[@brucepumphrey9225]

The great Paul Carrack would be proud. You deserve a crab cake!

[@d.cotrone8695]

Blown away! Paul Carrack would be proud!

[@briansandrabaker370]

I lost my Grandma 31 years ago and this song played on the radio just after I got word. The eery part of this video is that her last name is Phillips. Take a look at the name of the seafood restaurant behind the performer. This has happened many times with this song.

[@PauIieWalnuts]

That dad walking by with his family around the beginning was clearly moved. Any dad can relate.

[@sonicfrogdotnet]

Wow.... Just Wow.

[@patrickwolf4373]

Absolutely beautiful...just his voice, guitar and amp!! LOVE THIS!!! Thank you!!

[@mrbee3377]

Outstanding...this song hits close....came out the week my father died !

[@the_light_writer]

2014. A breath of fresh air. People weren't walking around like zombies wearing masks. They were truly living their lives. I miss those days.

[@loretobolanojr6507]

You are sooo good. Thank you for sharing your God-given talent. Keep it up, brother !

[@mikesharpsongs]

Thank YOU, Loreto!☮💜🎶

[@jimheckert5383]

Fantastic. Thanks 🇺🇸

[@judgeholden4208]

Transcendental and magical. If one ever needed proof of soul to soul direct communication... Well done to Michael Palmisano for sharing this absolutely remarkable performance. The world needs to know about Michael Sharp.

[@fortunato1957]

Your comment, not even two weeks ago, shows the everlasting deepness of this song. It's one of the best.

[@m118lr]

VERY well done man! Excellent acoustic version brother!

[@Furriee]

Crazy skills, and a fantastic voice you have. Thank you for sharing.

[@fullcircle3357]

Someone give that man a record deal

[@Mackan68]

What a fantastic rendition of this song. Great guitarwork and a soul easing voice! Best cover indeed.

[@chorlauheung4920]

You did a terrific cover of this very poignant, very profound, iconic song by Mike and the Mechanics.

[@MrMurph73]

I never liked this song before. After hearing this, I love it.

[@MarjorieStoker-oj8fh]

❤ well done young man what a contribution with your talent and voice god bless

[@crabbyoldman8209]

Great. Thanks for making me cry my freakin eyes out. ...Life-long musician and singer here to tell you what an amazing job you have done with this song. With no disrespect whatsoever to the original, yours has hit me as deep and hard as any song ever has. Best of everything to you, sir!

[@ryanlair71]

Unreal version of this. Such great finger picking.

[@BCounC]

The crisp notes and melodic tunes from the guitar are truly something special. Lost my father 12 years ago at 50 to cancer and there are just songs that pull on those strings... thank you Michael Palmisano for sharing this wonderful cover by Michael Sharp. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to be strolling by to see Michael

[@troip2769]

Brings tears to my eyes...

[@macman3175]

Nice voice Mike, I do that song as well.

[@dwsides4860]

Great job man,,, just a man and his guitar,, thank you so much for not using loopers and samples, this is so much better !

[@liftpanic]

Excellent cover. This might be my favorite song and he really nails it.

[@Tony-yp7ok]

Just came across this - what a beautiful version of this great song. Watching the dad and his son walk past in the background and seeing all the different age groups was very poignant. Thank you

[@JonDunnmusician]

Outstanding 🎹

[@paulabessant120]

Oh my ... this is what beautiful sounds like .....

[@mattsmith1809]

Wow! Great voice and your guitar strumming style has SUCH a groove to it.

[@heathermiller5765]

Loved your rendition, and your voice could melt butter lol. Simply an amazing cover of an equally amazing song 😊

[@Danny_Grant]

This is something special. Thanks. Outstanding performance

[@christsotsoros]

No words. Beautiful. Bravo.

[@unabrazoatodoslosbuenos]

Because of this song I made an effort to tell him how much I loved him. Sometimes we just need that little push. Great job. Rip.

[@fortunato1957]

Be proud of having done this step in the living years, guy! Believe me, I was too young to cope with all that when my dad passed away. Now I'm too old to rewind the clock.

[@random275]

Lovely right hand guitar style - I may do this one as my next video - yours was great..!! Cheers Phil

[@PaliGap1]

A tough song to play despite the standard chords - and hard to sing too. You did a great job!

[@frankfossaceca9616]

This Is Brilliant. Great Voice !!!!

[@TEBerrigan]

Everything about this is just perfect. The guitar, voice, and something about all the people just casually walking by, and watching the random ones who stop for a bit to take it all in.

[@bobbyflanagan154]

I am so glad I found this!!! Beautiful voice. Powerful and super smooth.

[@mikesharpsongs]

@@bobbyflanagan154 thanks so much for your kindness!☮💜🎶

[@ChefAjax]

Brilliant! Thank-you!

[@beakes28]

Way to ride that wave brother. Made it your own, didn’t go over the top yet showcased the heck out of it. You are in the pocket, on the wave and rolling.

[@alcondragon]

Absolutely Outstanding

[@DigitalDamager]

Thank you for this brother! My Grandpa passed away yesterday and this was his favorite song; I’m playing it at his funeral in a few days and this has been a massive inspiration!

[@mikesharpsongs]

So sorry to hear about your Grandpa; play your ❤ out!

[@steelz78]

Damn. This guy is filthy talented.

[@jpnatura4054]

Mike you are such one of the great musicians I have ever heard, You are capable to melt between voice and guitar in such manner that you could surf and fly inside this song

[@jimwaller5465]

This is just beautiful.. Wow!

[@jimmyhjorth8580]

I'm really enjoying this song!!!❤ I love his sound 😍 The guitar 🎸 sounds great 👍

[@eebsterscorner809]

What kills me are the people just walking by this incredible performance.

[@RandyLebedow]

Outstanding performance

[@tatatonio]

Beautiful rendition! Just beautiful!

[@Kkvta]

Better than the original, please release this on spotify if possible!

[@michaelwenzel1715]

Beautifully done. ❤ thanks for posting.

[@derec85]

What a voice!

[@dilshansenanayake4079]

You did it amazing God bless

[@garyt19651]

THANK YOU Micheal, Fantastic rendition of a song I hold close to my heart. This song could very well have been written about the relationship between my father an I . He passed away 51 years ago, 3 days after my 16th birthday, a traumatic experience I have NEVER gotten over. Keep up the great work !!!

[@fortunato1957]

That's quite similar to my experience. This song always hurts me hearing it, but it's still one of my favourites, because it's honest and touching.

[@EricInTampaAcoustic]

Here I am again seven years later enjoying this timeless gem

[@ChristineGibbons-s8r]

This version is just fantastic what a singer😊

[@MrWoodyanders]

Excellent and heartfelt.

[@eamonnmorris5331]

Great singing, playing, sense of rhythm, chording .. the whole package! So why do people just walk on by? Because they don't KNOW! If someone hasn't told them it's good, or cool, or whatever ... then they simply DON'T KNOW. That's also the state of the whole music business, incidentally.

[@roochalana4652]

What a amazing performance... good luck brother....

[@lafreeway]

Man, that is so good. My son called me a few days ago and said he heard this song on the radio and wanted to tell me how much I meant to him. Really special to me. Thanks for posting.

[@garyt19651]

It's great your son did that. Neither my Dad or I said the things we should have said to each in the living years. I wish I had.

[@nickmoan8223]

This is absolutely fantastic. Raw talent and real music right there. I could simply listen too your voice all day

[@davidgill1583]

Absolutely Brilliant cover.

[@steveworkman4289]

Amazing ❤

[@golfmex3]

Its amazing to hear that song in your great version. Respect. Sounds perfekt

[@aspekti2]

So beautiful and powerful bro, that's soul in all of it's meanings. All the new technology in the music industry has made people to not be able to recognize pure, raw talent anymore, and the proof is the people walking pass.. All the best Michael and much love, thank you for this amazing 5,34 minutes
