James Bailey I think Jesse is referring to the III chord of this key which would be the B minor-ish shape, or the 2nd chord Gabe plays in the progression
Dear Gabe, You might not read this comment, but heck I'm going to write it anyway. My job requires me to be abroad most of the time for a long period and I have to leave my loved ones behind. You and your music were, are and will be the one who accompany me throughout my journeys to success. in 2008-2010 your music gave me strength to win Long distance relationship with my boyfriend. 2011-2012 your music gave me strength to win Long distance marriage with my husband 2012 - 2014 your music gave me strength to win Long distance marriage and motherhood with my husband and my daughter. So thanks, Gabe. It is such a wonderful thing that your music can help so many people in ways that words can't describe. God Bless you.
GABE needs to see this haha! As a musician I think one of the beautiful thing is either your music or voice could brighten someone's day or make someone happier ^^
It reminds me of my parents long marriage that ended up with my fathers death last year. My moms not happy anymore when u have been with someone so long. Although she continues on with a long term illness. They were together since they were young teens. I also got married to a Canadian and we had to wait 15 months to be together. Great job:). Ps I just asked her to dance with me to this song she had tears in her eyes.
Gabe Bondoc, master of musical intimacy and restraint. One of the few musicians I've come across who have a true understanding of dynamic pacing and chordal phrasing. Simply beautiful to watch. Love your stuff, keep up the good work mate!
I love how Gabe smiles as he sings. I've been watching him for a while now, but never really took note of it. Gabe is one of the most genuine musicians, I can swear by that.
I feel like a part of me has just been waiting for you to cover this and I never realized it. I just felt so satisfied watching this. Is that a weird way to say I liked it?
I think the whole world was experiencing the same phenomenon, we were simply waiting for someone of Gabe's caliber to do this song justice. Yet, that isn't limited to this piece. I think deep down we all unbeknownst to our conscious self feel the need for Gabe to cover every song we find enjoyable. Its always refreshing to hear a genuinely clever, and unique cover, without forsaking the true essence of the song. Gabe does this on a atomic level. We all need to hear that familiar " 1 - 2 - 7 - 9"
I love everything about this song, but it was only hearing this that made me love it so much more! Better than the original, and your guitar playing is so on point, as always! That archtop suits this song so perfectly, too. Your breathy tone makes this song a million times better! Beautiful, as always, GB. Time to replay...
YES GABE YES. Although you don't post too often (which is totally okay because we all know you have a life outside youtube) when you do post, we are always guaranteed PERFECTION. Lots of love!
I am not a musician like a lot of the commenters, but my god man, just as a listener that is easily the best cover of what I feel is the best song out right now. Keep it up man, amazing!
how is it possible for one person to have so much finesse with their voice and instrument? at the same time? I never expect anything less from Gabe. beautiful. so entertained between listening to what your voice does and what you do on the guitar, too. bah! all the love!
I'm soooo in love with the passion ed sheeran has for what he does.. Not to mention the raspiness he's gets. I think the problem with all the covers ive been watching that I have is thy can't even harmonize.. lol you can and you've put a nice twist on it to make if personal for you and I like that I can feel it.. Almost like I'm in the room with you :) good job. Oh and dimples! Lol
Hey Gabe! Im watching your videos already about 3-4 years! And big respect for your steady work here on RUclips! Your Talent guitar playing and rythm feeling is ridicioulus! Keeo on your amazing work, its a BIG BLESSING! Thank You
So so great! Now I know why Joshua/Hong Jisoo of Seventeen really idolizes you Kuya/Sir Gabe!! Better check on him also, he really adores your talent and a big fan of yours til now. He said you are his inspiration/music influence, and now he is a well known kpop artist!! Keep up the good work and more covers to come!!
I love how, all these years, you've kept your music so real and true to yourself. I've never heard you cover a song that wasn't "you" musically. I admire that! And, I couldn't love what you do more. :) Next cover: XO - Beyonce (John Mayer version)!! Please, oh please!
I was surfing RUclips to listen to the covers of this song . Everyone else sounded the same then I came across you . Let me just say you're amazing & the uniqueness in your voice is astonishing . Keep at it ! Xx
This was really, really well done, Gabe. Gave it two listens in a row! I'll come back with future requests, but I'd love to see your twist on anything popular right now.
Gabe, I've been watching you since your humble beginnings and am still amazed by everything you put out. Ever thinking of playing out at the uptown Napa theatre or even Concord Pavilion. I think you could stack the house!! Love ya!
Officially, my favorite artist covered my other favorite artists. This rocks, Gabe. Thanks for making music. Been listening to you since the sixth grade and am about to graduate AKA I enjoy your music so dang much.
Dude I just listen to this yesterday and thought man Gabe would do an amazing cover of this! I promise! Yesterday on my evening run. Anyways, your vocals and guitar are spot on as always. Keep inspiring people man! You've influenced me to be a better musician over the past 5 years.
I wouldn't say better than the original but this was pretty damn good. What I like about it, is that you somewhat made this your own while also keeping true to the song. Excellent work!
What I love about your covers is that you always own the song, not just any typical cover, and sometimes you do better than those of the original LOL. And this one, you nailed it! Keep up the love for music :) And another thing that I also like about your covers is that it is a complete arrangement, hindi ka madamot sa chords! haha :) ggwp! Two thumbs up! God bless. Peace out!
Damn gabe, you just melted my heart. Your voice is seriously so smooth and soothing. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful covers/originals to us.
REAL TALENT. All live - no fancy music video. This is what performance is all about. Vulnerability, real talent and performance.

We need some covers Jesse!

The only person who comes very close to doing justice to this song.

why dont you make a cover from one of gabe's originals? :)
Probably my favorite cover of any I've seen on RUclips. Great job man
joshua brought me here. and i really thank him for that.. lol
i'm falling for your cool voice kuya.
YES GABE YES. Although you don't post too often (which is totally okay because we all know you have a life outside youtube) when you do post, we are always guaranteed PERFECTION. Lots of love!
After all these years and you're still playing from your heart. Much appreciate. Will always be a fan here, keep it up bro!
i'm literally crying. this is singing goals. you are literally perfection, stay amazing.
I've seen a bunch of covers for this song, but this one was by far the best. Loved it!
it's a beautiful thing when one of my favorite musicians covers one of my other favorite musicians.
At the beginning I thought this was just decent, but now I think yours is my favourite cover of this song.
I am not a musician like a lot of the commenters, but my god man, just as a listener that is easily the best cover of what I feel is the best song out right now. Keep it up man, amazing!
Extremely talented, both for what concerns the voice and the guitar work!
how is it possible for one person to have so much finesse with their voice and instrument? at the same time? I never expect anything less from Gabe. beautiful. so entertained between listening to what your voice does and what you do on the guitar, too. bah! all the love!

Been following you for 5 years. I love this cover. I love you. Please, make more videos because I miss you.

Definitely my favourite cover artist. All your covers are great. Love how you jazz them up.

BEST COVER of this song ...BIG FAN
So mellow, skillful and well-played. love the fact that you didn't feel the need to show off vocally! you nailed the less is more concept with this!
I definitely need to learn the way you play this. Absolutely beautiful, and perfect for my vocal range.
