Excellent performance,Mike! Absolutely stunning and beautiful!

[@artemiobalderas300]

One of the best songs ever written in the 60s. Thanks for sharing.

[@artemiobalderas300]

The best cover ever of this beautiful song.

[@ramishrambarran3998]

This is the best cover of Paul Stookey's masterpiece I ever heard ! ............and I am 69 ! He would be proud of you ! Thank You. Regards. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

[@andykeene40]

Noel Paul Stookey sang this at our wedding. This is best best version of this song I've ever heard other than Stookey himself. This is beautiful!!

[@ThePatriotPoet23]

I AGREE 100%

[@christophermichaelson9050]

How did you get Stookey to sing at your wedding?! Agree this is the best cover, but nothing beats the original.

[@JG-zt5vr]

@@christophermichaelson9050 Lol, I assumed he meant to say it was PLAYED at his wedding...

[@Robnord1]

Wow Andy!!! What an honor to have the great N.P. Stookey actually perform at your wedding. Great artists in your own fields, it just makes sense that you are friends. This was done by a friend of family at our wedding in 1977 too. It's Perfect and timeless.

[@geneedwards5639]

The best version I’ve heard other than Noel Paul Stookey.

[@artemiobalderas300]

One of the most beautiful songs ever composed. In its lyrics, musical arrangements and voices.

[@jerryr3752]

Without a doubt in my mind and heart it is the most beautiful song EVER written

[@daddon55]

I played and sang this on my 12 string 40 years ago this July. When I hear it still makes me close my eyes and listen. And to see the most beautiful vision walking towards me.

[@thomasbeatty9496]

Lovely comment. She is lucky and I'm sure, grateful.

[@BDConyers]

You’re singing, a guitar playing is impeccable. This would be amazing to see done live at a wedding.

[@towjam2359]

Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever written - even 51 years since its release and of course, Mike doesn't disappoint. The BEST cover of this I've heard yet.

[@His-jp3ke]

Friends from college sang this at our wedding in 1973. Thank You Lord for 51 years together.

[@michelleshereck6961]

Amazing job Mike...Paul always said this song was given to him by God and you do it justice...Truthfully maybe one of the greatest songs in the last 100 years...

[@secretagent86]

i agree. add Cohen's Hallelujah and "Nella Fantasia" (composed by Enrico Morricone... words perhaps! by Sarah Brightman) to the list

[@marymunday9367]

Greatest wedding song ever

[@johnnygeejr500]

top shelf well done The Snazz !

[@alegrate1827]

Those unexpected harmonies literally gave me chills! Awesome job!

[@johnstoddard4692]

You nailed it , Paul would be proud.

[@J.W.W.]

Beautifully done. I had this sung at my wedding by a family friend 40+ years ago. I love my wife now more than I did 40 years ago.

[@singfest]

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goose Bumps

[@eddiewinters7184]

Mike has Stookey's style down pat. Beautiful job Mike.

[@MyronGlassman-h7o]

Played at our wedding in 1976* beautiful heart warming rendition

[@Denis468]

Mike, you already know how much I Love "The Wedding Song". At 71 years old, I'm done with Marriage. Someday I'll be going six-feet under, and I'd Love it if my Family played your version of "Really Gonna Miss You". Your comments will be in the Millions.

[@rosch99]

As a music director of a radio station I developed an ear for talent. If this had been released as a single I would have charted it. It's every bit as good as Paul Stookey's, maybe a bit better musically. A real joy to listen to. Thanks for sharing your beautiful voice.

[@tinacorry250]

Now folks, this is how you play an Ovation Legend 12 string. Thanks Mike for such a perfect cover. Touched my soul.

[@duanetalton755]

Wow! I think Paul Stookey would be very proud of what of you have done with the song. Just amazing Mike.

[@damnyankeex1]

Haven’t heard this in years. Love your work. My wife and I would be honored to play your cover at our 60th anniversary as we renew marriage vows and dance to this. I know we will both be in tears throughout the whole song. God bless you, Mike!

[@j.seidank4460]

Eine der gefühlvollsten Balladen, die ich je gehört habe! Ganz großartig ist auch das Original von Noel Stookey. Zeitlos schöne Musik!

[@cindykokenes1296]

My Uncle sung this and played guitar 🎸 at our wedding almost 45 years ago. Uncle Claude was buried yesterday. He was 82.😢 This song will ALWAYS be special to me❣️

[@mikemasse]

Sorry for your loss.

[@davidbrumfield158]

Very nice rendition

[@debbieann5347]

This is simply beautiful. Just as awesome as the original

[@meaty109]

WOW!! Love your cover Mike! of this great timeless song of Paul Stookey. ...its now my favorite! I see this is from some time ago.....are you still performing....Great voice! All the Best.

[@aakornez]

The story behind the composition of this song is as spiritual as the lyrics themselves. You did them both justice.

[@richardhubert1346]

Beautifully sung, beautifully played. Thank you Mike for sharing a superb performance!

[@markschweitzer661]

Right down to the 12 string guitar. I’d except nothing less from Mike. Absolutely beautiful.

[@ProactiveMinistries]

We had this played at our wedding - 45 years ago - and we've done it in many weddings since. It's powerful and soul-stirring, based on scripture and God's plan.

[@patriciaarancibia8012]

Love is the answer.!!!😍✌🌻

[@BroSeaman]

Dude ... This is wonderful!!

[@kelsocampbell1301]

I'm in tears.

[@zebra3646]

Arguably the best cover of a song by an amateur musician, if I may call you that. Amazing. Fantastic. Heart warming. Eye damping. I salute you, sir.

[@glynpayne9708]

Absolutely fantastic. Mike is at the top of his game on this lovely song.

[@hairball98498]

One of my all-time favorite songs... DONE RIGHT! This is the BEST cover of this song I've EVER heard in my life! LOVE IT! Awesome job!!!!!

[@he7is7at7hand]

This is the first time I listen to this song, I mean really listen to this song since I've become a Christian. I hadn't realized this was a Christian song. It's gathering in his name, in Christ's name. Beautifully done. I would sure like to be able to play guitar like that. I have a guitar but don't know how to play it yet.

[@j.seidank4460]

Eine wunderschöne Cover-Version, die mich zutiefst berührt. Danke Mike Masse!

[@tomserotoninandthedopamine4375]

This guy's a genius ! Playing in the original tuning and fabulous voice.

[@JustSayN2O]

What is that tuning?

[@secretagent86]

I can’t help crying

[@bobs7617]

wow incredibly done

[@pianoman551000]

Wonderful vocal cover and a great tribute to PP&M member, Paul Stookey.

[@darnelljohnson5313]

A beautiful version of this song. Love this song even more now.

[@michaeljgardiner1]

Really a GREAT cover. You capture the magic of the guitar sound and the vocals are excellent!

[@thomascampbell2617]

What a beautiful song

[@nachotomas]

WOW!

[@joycooney5292]

Loved it! Our wedding song so many years ago.

[@juanitawareikis4998]

First time seeing this ...I'm blown away Always loved this song... Beautiful job

[@gregbutcher_musicplacecheck12]

What a brilliant musician, singer, inspiration plus.

[@taisnaradias]

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts Rest assured this troubadour is acting on his part. The union of your spirits, here, has caused him to remain For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name There is love. there is love. A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one. As it was in the beginning is now and til the end Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again. And there is love. there is love. Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife? Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life? And if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for? Do you believe in something that you've never seen before? Oh there's love, there is love. Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused him to remain For whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name There is love. there is love.

[@BarryAdams777]

Geez, Mike ...the songs you choose to do are ALL my most favorite of all time. And THIS song ...when I’m old and so far gone with alzheimer’s ...i will STILL be humming this tune. It is the best of the best. THANK YOU!!!! PS... Glen Campbell’s memory needs some love and honor (hint, hint).

[@soha7271]

Never thought this song can be played by a 12 strings ovation, it’s awesome

[@richardhubert1346]

And what's wrong with Ovation? It's not the tool - it's the craftsman that makes the difference.

[@Mrgheck]

Beautiful, played at our wedding 40 years ago

[@dshort01]

One of the best performances, mixing and videography I have seen in such a long time. Beautiful. BTW I love the Ovation guitar!

[@lisaalexander6677]

WOW.... beautiful version!

[@makeller24]

Mike is wonderful with his various voices. Ideal match

[@BerrysJSRD]

Thank you Sir!

[@timmatero8217]

I'm not one for typically commenting on KZbin videos, but I felt compelled with this and the rest of mike's videos. The detail, the singing, and the playing is just simply outstanding. Brought me to tears with the beauty of this song. Hope someday you make it to Maine add I would most certainly pay to see you perform!

[@SF80CAMARO]

The Best to you Mike and Family for 2018!!

[@maryqueenofScots2023]

Well done son, well done!

[@GuilhermeSilva-rp2it]

[@thegolfnut812]

Beautifully done playing and picking a 12 string.

[@redbaronmd]

Beautiful 12 string. Wonderful cover, dude. Excellent.

[@georgegagnon4566]

Played this song for my sisters wedding 43 years ago and will play it again for my sisters Daughter who will be getting married on Memorial day. Can't wait, getting a few pointers from Mike by watching his video. Be safe, be well

[@dm919]

I've always loved this song, and often wondered what it would sound like if you covered it. Absolutely perfect!

[@rickkernell2486]

You have truly done an amazing rendition of this masterpiece. I have a question, how do you prepare for an undertaking like this when the outcome can be so important to how people perceive your work. You did the right thing with this, congratulations Mike...

[@moodymoosecannon4986]

Excellent ❤️

[@gymhyk]

Best to you and your family in 2018. Absolutely LOVED your arrangement of this song, WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!

[@DrJamstaman]

[@secretagent86]

Mike is astonishingly great. His toto cover of africa wow

[@aurorafrancisco9905]

Fantastic voice...

[@jimstelljes3925]

Excellent cover version!!!

[@neeneesheart7117]

I too had a double wedding with my sister we married brothers and I sang this song 1979.

[@mikemasse]

That's awesome. I think I mentioned it in the description (and maybe that's why you bring it up), but I sang this for my two oldest sisters for their wedding when they married brothers in...1992? Pretty sure that's the year.

[@grumpybuzzard7131]

so awesome such a great song, and you absolutely nailed it- good job !

[@ronbeatty516]

I hope some day you'll consider the Black Crowes' song 'She Talks to Angels'. You have a musical gift. Amazing.

[@ghukiyechophi1468]

Masterpiece....😢😢😢

[@deborahflynn2572]

Mike, you have done such a beautiful job with this song. You made it better than the original. Truly touches my spirit. Tears start rolling as soon as I hear you sing. Great work!
