Carson seems to understand, like few modern singers, that the lyrics actually tell a story, and you have to sing it as if you're trying to get the message across. They're not just random words through which to demonstrate your vocal chops. Thanks for always singing the MEANING, man!
This. Yes, this.
It’s all the Bob Dylan he sings
A ballad. A ballad is a poem that tells a story and can easily be converted into a song😀
How could you even, for one second, consider that this might be a mistake. Oh man, this is exquisite, should be a mainstream release. What a voice, what a talent!!
It is hard to comprehend how a man with only a guitar and his voice can produce such kind of magic, be it cover or original songs. Man, you are truly Blessed.
this went way harder than i thought it would. carson doesn’t disappoint
Okay, the original carries that feeling of wanting escape, to get away from things, even after the whole song is done. *this* version really makes the ending the part that sticks in the mind and heart. Sir, that's brilliant
Great arrangement! Stripped down you can feel the lyrics. The imagery pops out more. Worth all the effort for sure.
I was so expecting a “Carson’s country Cooking corner” when I saw this pop up.
But it sounds fantastic! I like this chill rendition! Reminds me of walking on the beach as a kid
I wouldn't be a good host since I misread this recipe and made 40oz of piña coladas for myself. Or maybe I'd be perfect...
The version we didn't know had been missing in our lives until today.
From an old guy who grew up on that song....GREAT JOB. You have breathed New Life into this classic.
I was a senior in high school when this song was popular on the radio. I have so many great memories associated with it. Great version, Carson. Thanks for bringing me back to a wonderful time in my life.
I think I've known this song since it was released. This is the first time I have listened to all the lyrics. Well done!
And this is why this song was written, you have magic inside you.
I didn't expect this rendition to slap this hard. Excellent job Carson!!
Just one word comes to mind...PERFECT. Never knew it was possible for this song to be better than the original arrangement, but there it is. 🤯 Great job!
This should be on the radio.
Side note: I love Carson, Josh, Reina and Tony but my favorite one to watch sing is definitely Carson. :D
Always loved this song and your take is just flat out excellent! 👏👏
I groaned when I first saw this as Escape is one of those songs that I automatically turn off when I hear it. I decided to listen because it was you, lol. I absolutely loved your version. You have forever redeemed this song for me. Thanks for yet another gift, Carson!
Carson being clever, creative, melodic and always, always worth a listen.....Thanks.
Didn't expect it to be this good!
Duuuuuuude, this is absolutely sublime. Just what I needed. Have you ever done any Randy Newman covers? I feel like you'd do a fantastic Falling in Love.
Wow Carson thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent. Amazing version of a beautiful song.
very fun song!! Well done. See you at the Knitting factory this Sat!!!!!
You have to love when the worst part of the video is Carson trying to convince us this might have been a mistake.
I'll see you back here in a few days/weeks when this has a million views!
Incredible '
cover'!
Carson nails it again. Brilliant vocals - so full of character and style. Love the facial expressions too. :-)
Excellent job Carson, love your style!!!
Loved this song back in the day, this version wonderful. Thanks Carson
Was afraid to listen to this posting because it might become an ear-worm a la It’s a Small World. MAN, WAS I WRONG! This is so freaking great. I played it for Karen and she just kept smiling and shaking her head yes. Yep, another classic from a class act. Thanks, Carson. Hope you can make it back to Michigan sooner than later. ~ Mark
Man, this is a cool version...I LOVE your choice of dynamics...entertaining too...great job Carson! Greetings from Melbourne Australia
You’ve managed to elevate a novelty into something with feeling. Bravo.
This isn't a "masive mistake"
Much better than the original
"Much better than the original" yes by far.👍👏
That was utterly divine! It was stripped back to perfection. A great story, beautifully told!
Just perfect. Every note carefully expresses your love for music! What a great version. I love your faces when you sing - so much joy is visible!
I loved hearing this at the evening muse this week! Amazing version.
Such a talented guy! Always enjoy your work! Thanks brother! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
This is by far the best thing I’ve heard in a while! Great take on this classic!
Really great job like you always do. Such a talent
Just brilliant Carson - so much to love - your sound, tone & heart
This is definitely NOT "a massive mistake." Over the years I have heard Escape over & over again on the radio. It still shows up regularly on a local station. It may be the same words & notes, but you have made it a fresh new song. It works, very well.
Not a mistake, this is awesome. I hope it finds it way to Rupert. You should release this cover!
As usual you come through with a great tune. Excellent. Your music always delivers excellence. Thank you for sharing your talents and keep up the EXCELLENT work.
I always tend to try and over complicate a song. Then I watch your magic. Just sublime perfection!
I'm only half way through and in love with this version!! thank you!!!
I haven't stopped playing along on my guitar. Love it.
Awesome singing and style on this classic song Carson. You did an amazing job, sounded great, fantastic voice control, fantastic guitar playing, people are gonna love it 😊
Your voice is literally delicious to listen to, purely in a musical sense, yaknow! Such lovely character!
love it so much man. added to my youtube songs playlist with the rest of your stuff lol
Wow! I've heard this song a bunch of times over the past 40+ years, but I found this version riveting. Great job, Carson.
Love this song and love the arrangement and performance!! Great work Carson!! How do you youngsters discover these oldies? I love it!!
Perfect! Have always loved this song, but your version even better, Carson!Thank you! ❤️👏🌹🙏
Carson, Every moment of this was FAAAN-TAAASTIC!!! You are so crazy talented!!!
Brilliant...Carson Im a drummer for 54 years now in South Africa (Cape Town) and just LOVED that groove...hey there's so much I could do with it...THANKS
Love this version! Beautiful job, Carson!
Pure Gold. Just fantastic!
Marvelous! I Love it! Thank you Carson, you're the Best! It Brightens my day when I log into YT & see you've posted a new tune~ Much Gratitude to you for 'lifting' my day~ Sending love & blessings to you & all your viewers~
You have such a beautiful voice but when you sustain and go into your vibrato...well it’s unmatchable!
I enjoyed this at Jammin Java last night. Thanks for putting on a great show!
Loved your rendition, a laid back version absolutely brilliant. A camp fire winner, sitting back eating s'mores, tapping along with the tune.
Nice one, Carson! I love your cover version - I'm big time into solo interpretations like this. Excellent,, sir!
I have been working through your videos, Carson since following you from the Other Favourites. This rendition of escape is amazing. I listened with a smile throughout. Thank you for an incredible experience of pure joy. I am watching it over several times as i always liked this song a lot. Still a huge fan of yours from Australia.
From australia
Great rendition! Brings back lots of happy memories. Thank you Carson.
No disappointments here, so refreshing and well arranged. I can see you and Tracy Chapman collaborating on this masterpiece you have created. No mistake.
Excellent. That will be in my head for days! Thanks Carson.
Your music reminds me of playing music with my brothers. So thank you.
No risks no rewards. Glad that you took this risk - this is a great take on the song. Well done!
Once again, you beat me to a song I intended to cover! (And as always, it is a better version than I could ever possibly hope to make!)
Love songs that tell a story. Sounds great Carson. You were blessed and thank you for sharing. 👏😊
Carson…thank you! Love your version! I’ve been hanging out at a resort in Florida for 2 months. I’ve been forced to listen to that song over and over.🤦🏼♀️ Thank you for new version…such a welcomed change.
PS, this resort needs a new music repertoire. All the *Island* songs.
You have rescued this oddball song and made it respectable.
Having established to my satisfaction you make proper Sunday gravy, I have confidence in your Piña Colada making skills. I am always delighted by your music. Thank you for another gem. One of my favorites.
Doctor Bird Jamaica rum, pineapple, lime juice, cream of coconut, coconut milk...the only question mark is using that Vitamix, which I'm not used to doing. A blender hefty enough to be measured in horsepower is sort of terrifying. But yeah would recommend my bartending 👍
Fantastic! This is a great version period. So glad I caught you in Boulder... :):)
Simply perfect. Thanks, Carson! Love it.
Nice one, Carson. One of my late wife's favourite songs. Wonderful how you bring such clarity to the lyrics. Great voice too.
Okay. I can't describe how great this version is. Wonderful job! I'm going to have to learn this.
Now this is stuck in my head. Great singing btw.
Love it
as always a GREAT job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time I've listened to that song. I think that's the sign of a great interpretation.
This slaps.
My first ever big animation project back in college was a lyric video for this song (on my "channel" if anyones interested in poorly made vector animations). Somehow despite having to listen to it several hundreds of times during the making of that, I still love the original, go figure. So yeah, think that lends at least a little bit of weight when I say; this cover legitimately SLAPS 👏👏👏
You never disappoint, Carson.
I love that song. Watching you perform it was awesome! Great version you created, and you sing/perform it wonderfully! Great, great job!
Bloody brilliant!
Yes 🙏!!!
incredible as always
Great cover mate ! Loved the folk version and now is stucked in my head too, congratulation.
A favorite singer doing a favorite song. Good stuff on a Thursday afternoon.
Thank you for all the pleasure your songs have givien me. No douby many others feel the same. What a talent.
This is fantastic, and a pina colada sounds perfect down here in the blistering Texas heat. Here's hoping you do this one next time you perform in Texas! Also, the explanation at the beginning was hilarious.
Hopefully Carson and Josh play the Moody Theater in Austin.
Excellent! I loved your take on this tune, and I don't know why but it choked me up.
Just terrific!
Awesome Carson! Thanks for sharing!
One of your best!
Great job, Carson! Loved it!
Great rendition Carson.
Fantastic!!!!
Dude Carson, everything is good brother. Enjoying all your videos and music.
So cool!
Excellent Version! Thanks Carson. PS: Love the disclaimer in the description. :)
I love it.
I wish to pass away, be reborn, attain as many years and find this cover so I can hear it again for the first time.
You talented bastard, you.
This is soo beautiful. Thanks, Carson! Been listening on headphones and it's funny how the image shifts when you move your mouth left and right.
Excellent performance.
Cheers, Renee
