Ron Sexsmith - WHATEVER IT TAKES

[@time_for_fast]

Having met ron in person I can say he is one of the most personable and engaging people one can meet. ..... his music is a thing of beauty and he is truly a humble person. I have all his recordings and have seen him a number of times in concert, never a let down for sure.... He is my favorite artist and an inspiration to me. I always feel better after listening to his music .....

[@brendanward2257]

Living his dream, I sat beside him in grade 12 English at St. Catharines Collegiate back in '81 great sense of humor as I recall

[@DoctorDeSotoTheBand]

Can confirm!

[@sianwarwick633]

Agree. Went to an album release thing at a record store. Missed the chance to meet him and get a free cd by that much, as Maxwell Smart would say. The question was, what year did Sexsmith start recording... ? Do you know

[@tomconnolly7420]

Ron is pure class ❤❤❤, greetings from Ireland

[@TheHansoost]

This man's music is delightfully down to earth. Lyrics worth listening to and always melodically interesting.

[@SmilePileProd]

How the hell did I make it 26 years as a Canadian and never find this man? What a beautiful voice.

[@2WheelEscapeArtist]

Dear sweet Ron. You know when he thanks the crowd, he means it right from his beautiful heart.

[@Holymakinaw]

This guy is a musical GENIUS and a Canadian TREASURE.

[@davidtracey9094]

Holymakinaw: i went to high school with him. super person...

[@theozmiester7405]

you may not heard of this song but he done a song called "always" with a singer called shea seger one of my fave songs its how i discovered ron

[@joannethibault6016]

One of the most underrated Canadian singers.

[@jacquismith3277]

One of the most underrated singer/songwriters full stop. But thanks, Canada, for sharing him.

[@predeterminedmeat5024]

The

[@microsoup]

One of the greatest voices out there! A shame this video does not have a million views.

[@stephenhough4957]

The admiration and respect of the likes of Graham Gouldman and Fran Healy (who’ve written some wonderful songs themselves) says all you need to know here. The melody & song structure are superb. Imagine being able to write a song this good! And Ron always seems such a lovely, self effacing and genuine bloke.

[@bidda27]

success these days is measured by looks , age and studio trickery. black eyed peas during superbowl proved this to be so true! just a man his guitar his song and his voice ,,,,no gimmicks no suits with flashing light bulbs and no machines to disguise the fact that he's tone deaf . brilliant songs Ron ,,,breath of fresh air

[@sianwarwick633]

This is a silent hit. It's a depth charge of a song that you will be digging days after you listen to the cd or lp version - it is really so good. That beautiful voice, that nifty little hook 🪝

[@anniemondegreen]

I can't believe it took me so long to discover Ron Sexsmith! Saw him in concert this year and my mind is still blown!

[@NikoChizz]

I cannot get his songs out of my head. I just went and bought an ipod so that I can listen even more.

[@maclennan73]

Ron s huge talents highlight the sad fact that success isn't measured by quality.

[@stefanischannel]

One of the greatest songs of all time. Hands down.

[@fadi.aldaas]

My favourite song of all time

[@tritone12]

what a freakin beautiful song. super wonderful. enchanting.

[@rt.honourablegentleman4689]

Mr. Ron Sexsmith - Thank you so much for giving this gift of a song to the world. I learned of it through Buble, but you were the creator, and for that I take my hat off to you sir.

[@janellegwaltney202]

Please keep making songs like this!!!!

[@frederick631]

I would have never thought the day would come that I would be walking around with Ron's songs in my head. Go figure?

[@RonanKearney1]

fantastic tune . Ron has a serious Talent. Master of Melody

[@paulglitcher2033]

And a maestro of the lyric :)

[@RonanKearney1]

@@paulglitcher2033 indeed he is :)

[@hansfritzstrutz]

I saw him for the first time a month ago on a German TV programme and am now one his biggest fans. Great song!

[@DarkAndMartyr]

Song is just so good. Had it in my head all day at work, made the day go better.

[@madeleinehague648]

Last time I saw him in concert, his wife was selling merchandise at a table. Geeze, this guy should be making more money than THAT! He's fab.

[@bradmarratto4199]

Madeleine Hague You nailed that on the head. Great song writer as well as singer. Not given the recognition due to a great Canadian artist.

[@Martine1love]

I commented to the friend I went to the concert with, that anyone else, everywhere, charges at least $20 for a CD. We must keep on promoting him on all our social media. He his fabulous and deserves so much better.

[@andrewmair7371]

Madeleine Hague He will be now that Mr Bubbles has covered this tune ... you won’t be seeing him with cap in hand anytime soon.

[@bonniechampagne2992]

My fab tune of this magnificent musician....what a gift you are Ron....Kudos.....GOD BLESS

[@jbela1777]

This man is a songwriting genius

[@sulkygrrl]

Mighty excited to watch him live in Tokyo next month...I hope a lot of people come out to see his show!

[@mortygoldmacher]

Ron is so underappreciated. Brilliant songwriter. I love the string arrangement on the album version.

[@treasurecompanion]

This song is beautiful it just sounds great everytime by ron or michael. Michael buble does an amazing job I keep on playing it. Sooo romantic, soft,divine and gets you in a mood of LOVE Its a all time fave song on my top 20

[@montysloungetv]

time being is as flawless annd tuneful as an album could ever hope to be

[@borderlord]

Beautiful song,voice and picking...he's up there among the Legends!

[@thomasgatrell2519]

just superb those words are enough thank you Ron

[@antonioortiz1306]

I'm addicted to his music :')

[@Finguz39]

Beautiful song by a real artist. Awesome!

[@paulwilson3521]

He should really be a superstar,up there with the greatest!

[@alev9843]

its like you never hear the same part again with this guy

[@jacquismith3277]

Ron, you're so good. Lovely song, impeccable voice. xx

[@LoretaHVA]

Ron, so shy and so humble, it make him really attractive!!! You should not only compose, but sing too.

[@markpolonius]

Ron Sexsmtih, keep writing, keep singing. Although there aren't as many as your talent deserves, there are people who really appreciate your music. Your music makes me feel good.

[@Martine1love]

I am so grateful to experience such a wonderful singer, songwriter...

[@4tun1]

Amazing talent. In a world of no-talent hacks and "artists" who sample other peoples' music because an original thought would actually kill them, this man is a refreshing change of pace. A true artist in every sense of the word.

[@josephinerimmer6888]

Fantastic. Love it.❤

[@rdw2457]

Flippin’ amazing❤️

[@nigelmccluskey]

Ron gets really strung out sometimes that he's not been recognised.He has;lets keep him illuminated on the soulfull backburner.Thats what makes him magical.

[@thaumatology]

fame, fame fatal fame - it can play hideous tricks on the brain. would be cruel to wish megafame on this mockingbird. but he definitely deserves adoration and compensation for gifting the world with these songs.

[@lauriejames789]

My favourite version of this fantastic song ...

[@paulwilson3521]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@alexschonski3637]

what an amazing song writer

[@ToniTerrific]

I am so impressed, going after a listen to some more from this fellow.

[@sunaJH]

That was COOL! The other two guitarist were dying to join in on that cool groove:) Ron is a fine guitarist too

[@adriennefitzgerald5345]

I won't stop listening to you

[@carolcr4024]

Buble takes this song and makes it 1000 times better, Ron crooning in the background obviously. The collaboration makes this one of the best songs ever and a firm favourite of mine 😍

[@justbe646]

Ron is BEYOND PRICELESS~

[@KurtWarnerMovie]

one of the greatest

[@desjar02]

Truly a talent...gone are the days when you walked the streets with negotiable securities in your bag...lol. I still remember seeing you with your little notebook writing lyrics and humming to yourself as you went from bank to bank...

[@msg7142]

I just discovered Ron because of Michael Buble'..one of my favs...but this guy is a terrific writer and his voice is really good..very distinct...why am I not hearing more of him?..what's going on?

[@beatriznanotilla9333]

Is there anything the matter? Too shy? Too scared?😢

[@azjones7908]

Beautiful.

[@MultiverseAndy]

So good.

[@tonymockeridge338]

He's so good.

[@Sharonjrainey]

Thanks Ron❤

[@KingofRoath]

Very nice guitar sound and playing.

[@dirkbogarde44]

He's something very special.

[@theblackflies09]

Such a beautiful song . I recommend everyone go pick up a Sexsmith album .

[@te3420sig]

a very great artist... full of emotion...wooow

[@guitarclub1]

Absolute genius..

[@HC_GUITAR]

Stunning...this mans talents are cruelly under appreciated which is a travesty.

[@travmcintosh3066]

[@sharknoodlesoup3907]

IM RELATED TO THIS GUY!!!!

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

[@SPARTA_EDITS_100]

He's a lovely bloke.

[@chrissexsmith2122]

I love Ron Sexsmiths music great song writer, I wonder if we are related

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

if so treat him with respect he is a wonderful singer

[@jeffreyc.mcandrew8911]

Amazing.

[@dfrancer]

When Fran Healy pays attention to you in this manner, you're doing something right.

[@florenciaprovenzano6205]

Same.

[@francest-yves7772]

Je viens de te découvrir et j'adore!

[@stroud93]

LOVE IT

[@philipburge]

ron sexsmith is awesome !

[@nigelmccluskey]

super smashing assention for my heavy heart

[@frederick631]

couldn't have said it better myself!

[@frederick631]

couldn't have said it better myself! Don't stop now Ron youv'e come too far.

[@bmill7353]

As good as it gets!

[@dawnbell7826]

YUMMY.

[@MrBallynally2]

Just imagine if Paul McCartney came out with this song. It would rightly be considered one of his top songs, alongside 'maybe in amazed'.

[@stevenjohnlutes-froggatt5729]

I so agree!

[@espion2KX]

Bill withers doing a cover of this song would be amazing

[@wajobu]

Wait a sec--that's Graham Gouldman with Ron and ?! Another great songwriter!

[@TheDayfolds]

Ron's obviously not complaining that Buble has done his song, he clearly states that he's sent Buble lots of songs to do and this is the first one he's taken, he's clearly grateful. Ron is a great performing artist, greater and truer than any mere ACT - if it's ACTs you're after go and watch pop idol or some crap ffs.

[@bernechec]

Mister Bubbles can't touch this version.

[@hopeannaemelea]

This guy is amazing if it is true that he is deaf, how can you write a melody when U R deaf incredible, I am Glad that Michael Buble agreed to record this wonderful song it is my favo songs on M,B 's album he does it such justice with his smooth sweet dulcet tones, its as if this song was made for him,

[@ApalachianButerSteez]

i saw him walking down the street fucked up on some drugs, best moment of my life

[@alaeva8438]

yooooo yes

[@Nodrog86]

Who are the 20 people that disliked this?? Crazy!

[@anniebeeee]

Obviously from the school for the tone deaf and soulless!

[@williambeaton7790]

As an advanced bassist I would love a 3 song jam with him. And I'm 40 min from his door. Ron a quick look see?

[@ONESNZER0S]

Ron, very talented , reminds me of Paul McCartney.

[@JohnKarpowicz030161]

@maclennan73 Beauty has always been in the eye of the beholder .... music is no exception! But Ron's music is timeless and will undoubtedly find it's own time ..... as Picasso's works of art did!

[@alternative10000]

Fran and Ron :)

[@davemcclung5972]

I’ve seen 5-7 clips from this show. All beautiful... but wondering when Jay Mohr is going to join in?

[@montysloungetv]

youuu can count on half of one hand a melodicist this special

[@carlmccumber]

@maclennan73 well i dont know about that. ron is a legend where i grew up here in hamilton. he may not be rich but he's got a lot of friends.

[@pietermeulendijks2749]

one of my great favorite tv programm's " Songwriters circle. This one with also Graham Gouldman and lost the name of the third singer.

[@NowThenLaaa]

Pieter Meulendijks was it not Travis and elvis costelo

[@jabodl1]

Sure whatever it takes ron

[@fotofilmsalonstudio2322]

¿Alguien sabe que acordes son en la guitarra?/ ¿Do you know the guitar chords?

[@frederick631]

as it is so often, this performance is better than his studio version (?) It's true, sometimes less is more.

[@neilwilson5785]

How does he do that mood change?

[@frederick631]

Hey Ron, how come you don't have a Facebook page?

[@ConzVi.173]

fred penner , Omg, the Real Fred Penner?! If so, Your show made my day all the time as a kid. Aaaaaand.... the Cat came back the very next day 🐈... hahah! Much ❤️ 💗 💕

[@arfer]
