TRACY CHAPMAN'S WONDERFUL ORIGINAL... THIS IS SUPER COVER

[@kyle71998]

masterful performance, I get goosebumps before I press play because I know I'm about to blown away by raw talent

[@asholesquaredance]

It's rare to find a cover that isn't exactly like the original version of a song but Foy Vance really made this cover his. I love the uniqueness of this version... He's so talented!

[@matthewcalhoun]

So much passion in his voice. I'm in complete awe.

[@RakuOGaia]

Such a famous song and yet he COMPLETELY makes it his own. Amazing!

[@TheFordie14]

Love this version. A completely different cover of the song without losing any of the passion/heartbreak. Well done Foy.

[@alibechandhermit]

This is a very fine version of this very fine song. I loved the way he opened it. I'd love it if Foy would come to Australia. Nicely done

[@aliceshort832]

That last verse.. He sings the lines "You stay out drinking late at the bar, see more of your friends than you do your kids. I'd always hoped for better.." - perfectly sung to fit the emotion of the song.

[@peaceisthegift9961]

I've had never heard of Foy Vance, but a couple years ago I ever so luckily stumbled across this cover of this amazing song. 3 years later I still occasionally listen to this. When I'm in that kind of place where I just need something full of a quiet and soft power in my day, a little bit of comfort. It makes me feel like everything is the world is going to be ok, and I can just relax and be happy. Powerful.

[@MrSmofish]

been to see foy four times never fails to impress the man has talent, he also sang happy birthday to me in belfast too cool!

[@sorchalkelly]

Im Lost for words at how amazing that was !

[@Michealbolt]

Without a doubt the absolute best cover of any song I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. I love the unique composition!!!

[@GetTheFunkOut46]

i love this guy so much, im gonna follow his music till i die. everything he touches is pure gold. if you make it to the big time foy dont forget about all us who have followed you. and dont change one bit :) ive honestly never heard music as good as what this man can make. play leeds again, it was the greatest gig ive ever been to.

[@outlandishly66]

Exactly! I happened to be at the Blackbox in Belfast for a private concert with this guy I had never heard of before. He played Guiding Light for the first time, and it was, no joke, a religious moment! It was his last song and he walked of the stage and out of the room while he, and we were still all singing the chorus. Then he runs back in and says we all have to keep singing but come into the foyer, so all maybe 100 of us cram into the foyer of the Blackbox singing the chorus to a Guiding light. Goose bumps! Foy became my most favorite musical artist that night, and I have made a point to see him every chance I get, and I send my friends to see him when he plays in their town. Twice in Belfast and twice in Munich. He is amazing, and gives expression to my soul like no other!

[@karenkelly1670]

There's an air of calm and feeling of peace when he sings. Love him and want to see him live to have something to talk about when I am old

[@jamesdoty1295]

I just stumbled upon Foy recently and I love his work. Very thankful for his work. Good on ya brother.

[@emmyclinton]

I saw Tracy do this song live, about eight feet in front of her in front row many, many years ago. It was beautiful, this version is no doubt THE best cover of this incredible song....

[@manowardknsn]

Emily Clinton now I remember you from the concert.

[@ptuffgong8504]

Emily Clinton Agreed. Foy Vance was tapped into something supernatural in this performance.

[@oisfah92]

He is absolutely amazing, love him, his voice is something you don't hear often these days..go on Foy..

[@RyoFoo]

That just blew my freakin' mind! I still have the shivers....

[@tpatton6773]

Ahhh when some where young and finding their way, till got to that crossroads of life❣

[@josehugocasal5972]

[@rocktheetube]

[@tpatton6773]

Just reiterated expression of what you can BECOME ❣

[@beautifulflames]

He deserves a standing ovation for this one. I really didn't believe anyone was able to do a better cover than original, it feels like a rebirth of the song.Thanks for uploading.

[@drvioletq]

[@Wiselion1967]

[@VegaBeatz]

This guy is damn good! I love his flip of the song.

[@FreestyleGGD]

wow, this is truly beautiful, so much emotion. I absolutley love the story told in this song.

[@im0rtel]

i have never heard about foy vance . a sweet surprise and a homage to tracy c.

[@ScottyL47]

One of the best songwriters i have listened to, he was the best discovery personally at last years hop farm festival, if you you like this you should check out the festival.

[@mattmcc1994]

This is a beautiful piece of music. If anyone slagging this video had a fraction of foy vances talent they would be able so lucky. Don't dis a fantastic musician.

[@DennisGruetter]

Chills. Every time.

[@aliwhitwell]

Brilliant version.

[@sailorcat861]

[@heatherann2470]

[@drivebytruckerz]

This dude killed it. Instant fan.

[@TheJakefolger]

I don't know if I will ever be able to sleep again. And I'm going to lay down and play with Joey, my little Service Animal and dear kitty friend and Human Rights Activist. I'm just going to keep listening to you, Foy. Lovely creation, Tracy.

[@brandonrodgers2492]

[@Stephanielovesart1]

[@aisoconcranberriesu2as]

How have I not heard of him till recently.

[@amadeitopesomoso4654]

Simply amazing! from Argentina 👍

[@TheCushsRightBoot]

Saw him in Mandella Hall, playing with Ed Sheeran. Undoubtedly one of the best gigs ever.

[@dattrax7]

Beautiful cover ❤

[@jwynne]

Such a cover!!

[@marshallsonmotorsltd2101]

Made it his own. A true top artist of our generation

[@jonnyweston]

@thasnap Foy is excellent at portraying the emotion that really is written behind the words. I am a local music gig photographer, having shot at a number of his gigs and one of the few who's been fortunate enough to have some of my shots used by Foy. He's a gentle-man!

[@lovedeliberate]

Didn't think anyone could come close to Christian Kane's version for me as far as personal emotional impact, but god, this is beautiful.

[@beautifulflames]

I share your sentiments, when I heard him I said gosh this man is good, come on he can sing, sweet, wow.

[@matthewwickham1992]

Sorry to say this one IS better.

[@Kurare2]

Christian Kane's version is my absolute favorite! I just wish he'd make another album

[@Voadica]

@GetTheFunkOut46 There are quite a few of us across the pond who think he is stunning as well...amazing musician!! ;-)

[@StevieC89]

@racethebreeze It was filmed in Oh Yeah Center in belfast for ATL's Raw Money gig

[@sauljapuntich]

[@hmgrffn19]

Amazing...

[@matthewtraceyPPD]

One of the few covers that I enjoy more than the Original

[@EstherWijsbeek]

Beautiful...

[@tamygb]

HOW COME THIS GUY IS NOT ANNOYINGLY FAMOUS???

[@susieherman8447]

Good question. Maybe better this way though.

[@Leeburns1977]

Tamy Guimarães probably for the best, its always nice hearing raw talent thats only for a select few ears Who appreciate beautiful music

[@SarahWells777]

Tamy Guimarães cause he's Authentic

[@cathy6828]

he's too special. he's ours to enjoy :)

[@jbobdawghomeysizzle]

You all sound like he's some sort of big secret.... There is nothing secret about him. Stop feeling special. Anybody could find him in about 5 seconds.

[@nah3186]

Thank you Sir!!!

[@dzee1975]

this is purely magical, met foy on a recent film set where he is playing a busker, awesum musical magician, gona attempt learning this song. i'll need the force.

[@wunschkristall]

Amazing!!

[@juliancana]

great...great...just great

[@patrickneill148]

Incredible

[@PoetClbrown]

To say what everyone is thinking, this cover is better than the original 😏🙃 so much more emotional, intentional... Though I will say it's an easier build when starting from a well laid foundation. Been listening to Foy many years now and never heard this cover before. How is that? This just set the pace for the remainder of my day

[@tpatton6773]

FOR YOU VICKI 💓

[@jonnyweston]

@rampagedawg He's actually Northern Irish.

[@AQ-xd2tx]

amazing

[@cesttoal]

holy shit. this is so good!

[@petersonpereira8699]

[@pn5721]

Tracy Chapman WROTE this song. Jez sayin...

[@daveberthelot6737]

Wow!

[@thomascoleman8246]

check out his cover over the cheers theme wow

[@TravelingTom1]

It's amazing!

[@skopox]

I loved this song by T. Chapmann but in my opinion this version is very much better.

[@Blackscreenzen]

loveeeeee

[@terrycoles7068]

Awesome simple as

[@Cattt192]

@rampagedawg northern irish... A small town called Bangor to be precise

[@MsAlchemie]

it`s kinda sad that this video got this many views instead of his own songs, he is an artist in his own right, and his own songs are so much better than this one!

[@ptuffgong8504]

MsAlchemie Its true. He writes a lot of songs that other people who are more popular make a lot of money off (looking at you, Ed Sheeran). Foy Vance is the REAL deal. One of a kind.

[@SeanBMusic]

Technical greatness? I think it's amazing but what matters here is passion. Brothas got soul
