The ending where it just stops. The ultimate minimalist expression of what the song’s about. This is Voidful genius

[@flabbergasterisk]

Seriously, letting the last line hang is so perfectly Puddles. This is one of those songs you have to make your own if you're going to cover it properly. Nobody can ever be Simon & Garfunkle, and only a fool would try. Draiman also understands this in his cover--he didn't have to change _anything_ other than to sing it from _his_ heart and it became powerful in an entirely new way. It's an absolute masterpiece.

Replacing the last two words with actual silence was a stroke of genius. Since we all know the words we do not need to hear them to have them ringing through our heads. It is like the song never ends but actually continues in silence for ever.

[@TYGER0902]

Tim Laursen he wasn’t the first to do it. Look up Peter Holden’s and Tim Foust’s version who did it over 3 years ago. Theirs is all acapella with layering of both guys voices.

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@TYGER0902 I wonder if he got the idea from Queen's We Are The Champions? The original version omits the words "of the world" at the end of the song. A lot of people dispute that, but click this link to hear it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4PPnGpol7Z-b5I

Puddles came in to my life, the day after I buried my father. The funeral was short and beautiful; sister and I couldn't remember the song he requested at his memorial service. OMGosh I was shocked, when I woke up - went to KZbin to listen to some music . . . there the song was - Old Danny Boy. I have been Puddles greatest fan since then. The very first thing on my bucket list when life slows down, and I can get away - is book plans to see Puddles Live!

[@Raining_Brass]

I'm really sorry for your loss. I also lost my father earlier this year. It was really amazing timing on Puddles part. I had been searching for a good version of Danny Boy for my father's funeral. I had a couple versions picked out, but nothing really grabbed me. Imagine my shock, and delight when Puddles released his version the day before the funeral! It was exactly what I was looking for. I was already a huge fan, but now even more so.

I've heard this song so many times, listened to all the covers, but this is the only one I felt, it's hard to describe the feeling, of hearing a song, and listening to a song.

[@theexchipmunk]

It is a sad thing about todays music. With all the speed and variety and simple availability of music today a part has been lost. The story and should. Most music is just made to be heard to on your way, or while doing stuff. Its made for the background. But that there is the old way music was listened to. A story and feelings. The first time I every really listened to a song was during a Larp. We had a really good bard and it was late evening at a campfire. And boy I never had such a experience listening to music.

I listen to Yanni to clear out the confusion and clutter in my head. More specifically his Acropolis Live Concert. Headphones on, noise cancelling on, the world around me OFF. Listening to and singling out every instrument, gives me tremendous focus, which applies to my every day life. My gf was abused by her husband for 10years and had insomnia and rampant uncontrollable thoughts and dreams all day...but doing this, clears her head and all those voices go away. Music is so healing AND enlightening. I just wish with all my focus, i could create music, but i create many other things with my gift.

Okay, here goes: Firstly Absolutely 'Soulful' - How many times have we all heard very good versions but always with the vocals in the higher registers. The restrained and yet powerful way you have sung this Puddles is truly Moving AND Absolutely 'unique'. You have a rare, rare talent and gift - we would all love to be able to move another soul to tears (in a Beauty Way) just through the use of our voice. This you do. The Heyokah's and Clowns of the Ancient Peoples would use Humour and Sorrowful renderings to heal individuals and groups of people, You Puddles have the ability to do this, but now in a modern way in these (very difficult) Modern Times, times when we ALL need 'Healing'...When you sing - You not only move us, but you Sing FOR us in the sense that we (the silenced) majority are unable to..so "Thank-You". (I hope all that doesn't sound weird or anything). One Horrible week in my work place, I get home listen to this and the letting go of the weeks horror's and the Healing begins! . :O)

I've been into Puddles now for eight years and saw him play and met the big fella twice when he came to London. This song still has the power to move me to my core and yes taciting the last two words is a master stroke. See you soon again at the London Palladium.😊

[@MasterJTLS]

Can't believe I've only just discovered Puddles. You are one of my favourite acts ever! Exactly what that talent shows needs the most. Your act and voice are amazing. The comedy and how you incorporate with the singing - it is pure outside the box genius. You are different, fresh, unique, hilarious, touching, moving and inspiring. I love you man - never stop and never doubt yourself. If you're ever in the East of England for whatever bizarre reason I'd love to go see one of your live shows. You're amazing!

Not a patient, but my uncle is one. I want you to know that there are people who love you and desperately await the day you pull through. You can do it. Hang in there -- God bless you.

I’m a cancer survivor and I know times will get bad and depressing but you need to find the strength and push on through and keep fighting!! I been there and made it! You can do this buddy!

Wishing you a healing touch. Cancer sux. My son went through chemo for a brain tumor. The tumor shrank but he still lost most of his vision.

[@paulamccartin6124]

Puddles you have truly been blessed with a peerless voice and remarkable creativity and imagination. And you bless your fans by sharing your talent so generously. This video is soul shattering. I think it speaks volumes about you that you have been collaborating with the same very talented musicians for so long. There must be a lot of trust, respect and loyalty between you all. You all did an amazing job with this song. Thank you all.

[@rlmartin71]

Paula McCartin There absolutely is trust and respect among all of us. Thanks!

[@paulamccartin6124]

It shows. I was in the business long enough to know that is not always the case. I have to say that I love Tongo Hiti. It is great to watch the way you all work together and go with the flow. You all are seriously talented but don't seem to take yourselves too seriously. It makes it more fun to watch you together.

[@rlmartin71]

Paula McCartin Thank you so much for those kind compliments. You are again, spot on!

[@EducatedSkeptic]

Have been an S&G fan for over 50 years, but I keep coming back to this as a new and incredible re-interpretation of their song. Absolutely amazing and wonderful rendition. Thanks so much for sharing this on-line for us all to enjoy!

[@kathleenmiritello2020]

This rendition is a perfect way to show off your lower register - that golden voice just rumbles through me all the way down to my feet. Love the special Puddles touch at the end with your own signature move of silence. Bravo, and thank you for covering this! ❤️

[@boostedsaleen6146]

Love his clarity of the lyrics, puddles is awesome

This guy is so cool. I would love to see him sing some place!

[@danielmiller3596]

I got to see his show in Austin before Covid for our anniversary. It was very moving and I loved it. He came up to the nosebleeds, and kept shaking hands. Amazing experience, and I’m not known for being a person that shows emotion much.

[@paulavandeusen8930]

He will probably start touring again in 2022. Hopefully before. I've seen him 6 times🧡

[@treybay99]

Puddles I just want to say I respect you you are by far my favorite cover artist when it comes to singing, in my opinion you should have won americas got talent. Thank you and keep doing what you do best!

[@mirandawilliams3134]

THE best one Puddles has done. Hauntingly meaningful with a perfect ending.

I think Puddles is one of the very best singers out there. An amazing voice backed by a special soul transmitting so many emotions and feelings. I discovered him in AGT and my wife and I have been big fans since!!!

Same here!!! He is actually great!!!

[@djteddybear131]

THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE...

[@misstaken0787]

When everyone kept asking for you to do this, I wasn’t necessarily on board. But OMG, was I wrong. You brought so much strength to what is normally such a quiet mellow tune that created a much different feel. Hard to do when it’s such a well known song. I have goose bumps and the band was awesome! Much love, P.

Holy shit. Great cover.

[@devrinator]

It's ridiculous how much Puddles Pitty Party gives me emotions I can never describe. It's a dad-voice, but it's haunting. It's like, I don't know what this is, but I want to see and hear it.

[@emordnilaps]

I hear you. I'm in my 70s, so disregard if you like, but prior generations have discovered that the opposite of lies is sometime not truth, but emotion. Puddles's life-changing perspectives on common themes have many antecedents. Were I your tutor, I would recommend reading (or better, watching) plays by Ionesco (The Bald Soprano), Beckett (Waiting for Godot), Pirandello (Enrico V), Brecht (Three-Penny Opera, The Good Person of Szechwan, many others). But then I'm only just scheduled to outlive the prior millenium. Others, like yourself, will carry on. Fair winds, calm seas.

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

Haunting dad voice is exactly it. I’ve been trying to figure out the words but seriously, “dad” is the descriptor I’ve been missing and I mean it positively

[@bolt_vanderhuge]

Yeah, it's like inverse-nostalgia. The reality that something so warm and caring becomes grim and tearful as you get older. It's the hollow feeling in your gut when you find a toy you had as a kid, but time and wear has caused it to break apart the moment you touch it. It's never again being in the backseat of a car big enough to fall asleep in, but having to focus on the road all night and watching every billboard that passes you by. It's a sad clown.
