thanks for listening.

[@earthwormjxm]

I applaud you because I know it's not easy playing that piece while simultaneously singing. It sounded good.

[@Kanjobot]

Thanks! It definitely took me a while to get it right.

[@jimbowen8973]

I second what ***** Hill said. This song is tough to play...tough to sing. But to do both and do them both well is challenging (I've tried...and failed). So kudos on a job very well done. Great cover of an amazing song.

[@ylacorratube]

Exactly

[@WFazolato]

This song is very tough to play. Congratulations.

[@Kanjobot]

i actually learned it by ear. i know i've got some wrong notes in there, but i also try to accomodate for the lack of bass. i agree, johnny is a badass.

[@softangel8485]

I know this was posted 10 years ago but DANGGG your cover is very beautiful and and lovely! Your voice with this song is just perfection!

[@Kanjobot]

Thanks I appreciate your kind words! When I posted it I never thought it would get this level of recognition so I'm happy that you and others have enjoyed it.

[@danserrano2251]

​@@KanjobotWell deserved

[@ivanalexander9015]

The recognition is well-deserved, fantastic job. How long did it take you to learn just the guitar part alone? And then how much longer to get the vocals down while playing?

[@l4horia]

I have been coming back and replaying this every other day, back then I didn’t have a channel so now I can express myself. You are genuinely gifted with such an angelic voice I hope you have used that power and talent for all the good opportunities you’ve ever been offered, 1:42 was where I knew you had real talent. Thank you for sharing this with others. Bless you

[@Kanjobot]

@@l4horia these are kind words, and I'm grateful for them. Thank you for taking the time to write them.

[@lucilaruiu8890]

this is the most beautiful thing ive heard in a long time

[@jacobcampana5299]

Your singing and guitar playing are just so perfectly in sync it's crazy

[@PK-ph9ms]

smooth voice. one of the better smiths covers I ever heard.

[@londontrada]

Very good cover, the riff sounds really good with the nylon strings.

[@meadish]

Your singing and playing here are every bit as good as the two Ms. Hats off.

[@himbo2335]

This video was posted forever ago, but I hope you still do this kind of stuff all the time, because you’re very talented and you have beautiful guitar skills

[@Kanjobot]

That's nice of you, thank you for your comment. I stopped playing for a few years but I've come back to it and hope to never stop again.

[@Fran-vb3tg]

Eres muy talentoso!

[@Kanjobot]

@@Fran-vb3tg thank you for listening!

[@tyh7529]

@@Kanjobot I’ve recently done the same thing. It hurts not being able to do what I used to, but with that comes the joy of rediscovering the things that I can do, and learning new stuff!

[@Kanjobot]

@@tyh7529 it's a form of rebirth which can be very painful at first, but also very freeing. I wish you luck on your journey, friend.

[@maritimeseven]

So well done sir. Your attention to detail both with guitar and voice are amazing.

[@Kanjobot]

Very nice of you to say, thanks for that!

[@raoulthompson]

Everything about this is beautiful and your perfect. The impromptu setup beneath the stairs, the natural reverb, your voice, the guitar, such a perfect cover. I love it.

[@SilentLD]

Very impressive and well sung. You reached those high notes beautifully. Love your voice. :)

[@auggieboyy]

[@Kanjobot]

[@andrewallen1083]

Great stuff and great accoustics

[@Kanjobot]

[@maljo4604]

This is easily the best cover I’ve seen of this song, great job!

[@u4890]

Your voice is really beautiful.

[@pasqualepignanelli1465]

Wonderful voice!

[@Black-Ghost844]

Lyrics: I would rather not go Back to the old house I would rather not go Back to the old house There's too many bad memories Too many memories there When you cycled by Here began all my dreams The saddest thing I've ever seen And you never knew How much I really liked you Because I never even told you Oh, and I meant to Are you still there or have you moved away? Or have you moved away? I would love to go Back to the old house But I never will I never will I never will

[@doctorphibez]

Wow. You nailed it. So brilliantly done and you sing beautifully. I'm trying to learn this right now.

[@Kanjobot]

Thank you very much! I know I play some wrong notes in there but it gets the job done lol.

[@angel1xoxo]
