Sam Brookes _ Paul Simon | "Peace like a River" (Acoustic Cover)

[@YvonneBurggraaf-555]

Now I understand what kind of people found peace inside and flow like a river. They were made of water and not of wine.

[@YvonneBurggraaf-555]

I adore your version of this song. Thanks Sam to share the music with me ❤

[@Pinecrest55]

Staggering and stunning...VERY rare that I like a cover better than the original...and I grew up on Paul Simon and I am very particular....what a voice and subtle changes to the melody....just beautiful...you make the plying look easy but I know it is def. not easy..I have played guitar for over 50 years and I am humbled....wow!!!

Absolute genius. Shiver still going down my spine. ❤️

[@danieljulian4676]

This one is in my collection of "forever songs". Sam's mesmerizing cover gives me hope that if the history train keeps driving along, others will still be covering this song a hundred years from now.

This is such a great and thought-provoking comment. "Mesmerizing" is so apt. Many thanks for your post, Daniel Julian.

Nice work, Sam. also a good title to release on VE Day.

Always worries me when someone does a cover that they don't really connect with the song and can't feel the emotion of the original singer/songwriter, especially when they attempt to cover the iconic Paul Simon. No such worries with this one. This is a beautiful version from Sam on par if not better than the original.

@Allan Riach, Sam Brookes has a remarkable talent to take somebody else's song, perform the glorious hell out of it with that incredible voice he has, add some gorgeous guitar embellishment, then render astonishment in my ears. The man is a modern marvel. Oh, he has his own songs too, and they are truly delightful. I love him to bits :)

[@allanriach]

@@davidwoodcock8042 yes his own songs are beautiful. Great use of lyrics great tunes and that vocal range singing along to that intricate guitar work.

[@sambrookesmusic]

Thank you Paul its a beautiful song, where are you from? I've just released a new single if you wanted to listen ingroov.es/ekarma

[@mikedeuce13]

Stunning, so happy to find your version of this song. I’m forever on the hunt for new music and musicians to me, and so rare for me to find a cover that adds to and enriches the original. Many thanks and respect from a new fan.

[@sambrookesmusic]

Thanks Mike, it’s such a beautiful track, I’ve always been a fan of Paul Simon but this song seems to slip by me for many years until January when I started to listen to the album and fell in love with the song and it took me a while to get it under my fingers it’s a real finger buster but fun. I’ve just released a new album of my own called Black Feathers It’s up of Apple Music, Spotify ect and also on Vinyl is that’s your preferred listening experience. Thanks again for leaving a comment mate. Sam

[@kc8923]

You've really gotten inside this wonderful song and given it a very slightly more blues feel, well done!

[@sambrookesmusic]

Thank you, its a great song

[@maia76951]

wow! best cover of this song ive heard by far. do you happen to have the tabs or did you learn it by ear?

[@sambrookesmusic]

Hey thanks for your comment. I found the tuning for the guitar online and then learnt it by ear. DADDAD

[@YvonneBurggraaf-555]

For what it ever means to you. I love you ❤

[@phyfts]

What's your guitar and amp in this one? Your tone is phenomenal!

[@sambrookesmusic]

It's a Gibson Es125 going through a vox Ac15, sm57 on the cab. Thanks dude. What guitar tones are you into?

[@phyfts]

@@sambrookesmusic Thanks, I'm into warm, vintage tones just like this!
