i usually don't like people singing this song because they try and sing it like a happy love song and don't understand the meaning. however, i was really moved and this was sung amazingly and you portrayed the meaning of his loss fantastically. well done mate!
tears...smiles...emotions...spirituality...remorse..... love. A song may have the lyrics to touch, but it takes a real voice to move someone. I love this!
I love this...my mom is fighting so many medical problems right now and is on a steep decline. When I play this song, I think of her, and how I am going to feel the day she passes away. Your voice is amazing, and you DEFINITELY do this song justice. Thank you for posting this..
omfg , after this cover I realise something . It doesn't matter how you look , how your hair is , how rich you are , it matters how much talent you've got and this guy is one of the most talented man on youtube , I hope this guy will be found soon by someone and start his music career . Awesome buddy , keep it up !
When I was little my Great Uncle passed away and this is the song that was playing at the time. never fails to reduce me to tears especially when its sung like this. Beautiful man
this is beautiful man. one day i hope to learn this song and play it for my dad, who used to listen to this song all the time when he was young. my dad's father died of cancer a couple months after his wedding, my dad sung this song at his funeral. if only i was born in time to see that performance. this song tells so many stories everytime i hear it. and you sir, truly have a gift with that voice and guitar talent of yours. never give up no matter what anyone says.
this brought tears to my eyes...lost my mother about four years ago...wonder if she will know me when I get there. I LUV this guy. this is one of the best renditions of this song.
you do this song much justice. this is absolutely gorgeous. this song means so much to me, and you are truely talented. thank you for putting actual music in this world.
Dude you are the man! You inspire me so much. I have been musical all my life and people never expected me too. I am a big guy, like you, and people judge me by how I look and don't expect things from me. It's like we are monsters or something. Me and one of my best friends (who ironically calls himself AC sometimes) are the lead baritones in the show choir at my school. And when we sing people are stunned we can. It is people like you who truly inspire the big guys to keep going.You're my hero.
I've enjoyed your cover for years now. I still prefer this older video, it's more raw more YOU. My dad passed when I was a kid and hearing you sing this really gets me...great work man
Dude, you deserve to be in heaven more than all of us. The way you show people that, no matter our differences that we may have, we all judge way too harshly. If people were watching this vid thinking, "Oh just some heavy guy probably gonna fail. Maybe I'll get a laugh out of it." Grow up. This is what it's all about.
Saw this channel for the first time two days ago, and since then I've watched this cover, along with the Beatles covers, probably 10 times each, and have made zero progress on my paper due tomorrow. Incredible music like this never fails to make me feel great while getting nothing done. Excellent job!
honestly I clicked on the video because I thought "hey look at this guy, he fails for sure" but then i was taught better. I really love your cover. You should show everybody how talented you are!
Man, you are absolutely amazing. This song means so much to me and believe me you MORE than did it justice. Eric Clapton would be so proud if he saw this. Such a sweet voice and great guitar playing to match...Hope to see more videos from you!
Amazing to see how far you've come since this song bro. You sounded pretty good here, but you've jumped leaps and bounds since. I'm in awe at how you continue to improve.
Please reproduce this song again with your current audio/recording setup. It’s too well performed to be accompanied by the static. So so so good! Absolutely best cover I have ever heard of this song.
dude im not even gonna lie..this is prob. the best cover of this song i have ever seen. you deserve to be somewhere big forreal. this is amazing. goodluck with everything and keep it up!
Your voice changes with every song. It sounds different but in a good way because it displays each song's emotions but at the same time, it still sounds like you and it isnt often you get to hear that. Great cover.
Why do we like this? Because you are naturally talented. It's obvious that music is a passion for you. As it is for a lot of us. Your being yourself and you play guitar beautifully. You have a new fan dude. Keep it up. Cheers.
The way you sang the "hold my hand" bit.... tear ducts tried to open up a bit there man. Well done. The second "beggin' please".... yeah... that was phenomonal.
I must admit this took me by surprise. It is a tough song to sing and you certainly did it justice. You really made it your own without detracting from the original. Keep the good stuff coming, mate
HOW did 21 people dislike this video? This is an incredible cover. How do people like Justin Beiber and Rebecca Black get famous when there are gems like this hiding beneath all the crap. Excellent work!
wow the emotion in that guys face is incredible !!! great job buddy never let go and dont listen thos who tried to discourage you cause you have a talent use it !!!
Thumbs up if you want Austin to make another cover of this song with better quality! Otherwise really awesome cover of a really beautiful song! Keep it up Austin!
You sir have such clarity to your voice, Very inspirational, Every song you sings comes from the heart and that comes through to the viewer/listener, Your genuine and real not manufactured like a lot of performers in our days.
We like it because you play with emotion and are a great singer and guitar player. A lot of people would love to have either one of your talents. You are very good. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work.
Why do we all like it so much? because we can see your passion in the songs you are singing and playing. it's what many artists fail at. many people can sing, not many can sing with passion. great job.. keep it up!
Damn Boy......................you gave me chills. Your amazing. Goi for something out there. I know you definitely have my vote. WOW WOW WOW!!! I'm also a fan of this song as well and I think you gave it justice. The meaning in your voice. Awesome job!!!
You are so talented and I'm so proud of you. You put yourself out there for the world to see. You are so proud of yourself too. That's the best part. I can see it in your face when you play, that you love what you're doing! Awesome job!!!
Damn dude. Im sorry for not coming across you sooner. From one musician to another, fantastic stuff. My dad taught me to play this and your picking pattern is strikingly identical. Flooded me with memories. It was a pleasure to listen to.
....Because your talented! people with brains can see all the talent shine thorough whatever other people cant seem to get past superficially! great job!
Once I saw the thumbnail my first tought was "Oh lol, well let me check it" once you started singing I was amazed. You almost made me cry, everytime I hear this song I remember my sister's husband that died a few weeks ago. We all judge before meet, it's a human thing, but for once I'm proud that I was wrong. Oh and...you've just earned one more subscriber. All the best!
Wow man, this is an incredibly beautiful cover. You definitely nailed it on this and I believe you almost put as much emotion into it as Clapton did. I will say this is the best cover of this song I've ever seen.
I think i've already commented on this once but everytime i hear you sing this I fall in love with your voice all over again. lol You really are amazing!
Amazing song, Amazing cover!.. good job sweetie! keep killing it.. never give up and you;ll go far!.. can see the dedication and passion in your eyes and hear it in your voice! thanks for adding these videos!.. One love
why we like this so much is because your voice and guitarplaying is godlike. it also helps that you dont look like brad pitt. your music is insanely good
Dude you get what you deserve. You make an amazing cover of an amazing song and it sound amazing as hell man. So keep up the great work and you'll get that many views.
Very nice cover! not an easy song to do at all, and you definitely made it very very well, i admire the effort and enjoyment you also put in your music! im glad i could hear this :) nice guitar playing also!!
we watch because we love your hair!! ;-) sorry I lied, we LOVE your voice!!! and well most of us just love it just the way you are. Another fan born,,,,,,but I'm and old gal !! 54 and am loving your voice young man, keep on doing what you are doing!!!!! fabulous vocals!
Amazing sweetie! I agree with prestonzero, i think you belong in heaven after hearing this. You have some of the most amazing vocals I've heard in a long, long time
i usually don't like people singing this song because they try and sing it like a happy love song and don't understand the meaning. however, i was really moved and this was sung amazingly and you portrayed the meaning of his loss fantastically.
well done mate!
tears...smiles...emotions...spirituality...remorse..... love.
A song may have the lyrics to touch, but it takes a real voice to move someone. I love this!
You do it more than justice hun, its beautiful. love it :)
I love this...my mom is fighting so many medical problems right now and is on a steep decline. When I play this song, I think of her, and how I am going to feel the day she passes away. Your voice is amazing, and you DEFINITELY do this song justice. Thank you for posting this..
Sadly. It's 5-16-20 I'm just finding him. Does he sing anything bad?? He is straight in my playlists
omfg , after this cover I realise something . It doesn't matter how you look , how your hair is , how rich you are , it matters how much talent you've got and this guy is one of the most talented man on youtube , I hope this guy will be found soon by someone and start his music career . Awesome buddy , keep it up !
Great stuff, would love to hear a cover of Last Kiss ( Pearl Jam).
When I was little my Great Uncle passed away and this is the song that was playing at the time. never fails to reduce me to tears especially when its sung like this. Beautiful man
that guitar strap is sick
this is beautiful man. one day i hope to learn this song and play it for my dad, who used to listen to this song all the time when he was young. my dad's father died of cancer a couple months after his wedding, my dad sung this song at his funeral. if only i was born in time to see that performance. this song tells so many stories everytime i hear it. and you sir, truly have a gift with that voice and guitar talent of yours. never give up no matter what anyone says.
hair, weight, clothing, etc. who cares about such BS when you have such an amazing gift!!!
+ELVIS1975T It's BS no matter what.
Then what about who don't have any gift?
"Why do you all like this so much?"...cuz you were feelin it...not just playin it...and it shows. That's why. Fantastic.
Holy Fuck this is amazing
this brought tears to my eyes...lost my mother about four years ago...wonder if she will know me when I get there. I LUV this guy. this is one of the best renditions of this song.
you do this song much justice. this is absolutely gorgeous. this song means so much to me, and you are truely talented. thank you for putting actual music in this world.
Another example of undiscovered talent, brilliant performance. It's a pleasure to see someone else as passionate about the music.
Dude you are the man! You inspire me so much. I have been musical all my life and people never expected me too.

Incredible music like this never fails to make me feel great while getting nothing done. Excellent job!
You have what so many other people don't: you feel the music, not just play it. Thanks for your posts.
honestly I clicked on the video because I thought "hey look at this guy, he fails for sure" but then i was taught better.
I really love your cover.
You should show everybody how talented you are!
