    I think people underestimate how great your ears are. You cannot recreate songs with this much accuracy without being able to hear the intricacies of the original performances. As a music teacher, I am often more impressed with being able to hear what makes a performance sound the way it does. On top of that you can actually execute it to boot.. amazing job man, truly. Thanks for giving me so much to listen to.. over and over again.

      DeKraut the most accurate description of how truly amazing Masse reproduces the intricacies that very few can master. Thank you. I’ve received tremendous enjoyment out of Masse’s covers- which the original artists could likely not reproduce without technological assistance.

    My husband & I think you're fantastic! When a person covers an original song, I think for the most part, people want to hear how close you can replicate the original - you do that - so well! You also however, put your own individuality into all your songs too & we always look forward to see what song you're going to do in your next video! You are very talented!

    To the 74 jerk-offs who gave a thumbs down: what is your freaking problem? Is it the song you do not like? Personally, I’m not crazy about the song either. I was tired of it in the 80s. But you cannot deny the snazzy of this version. One guy and an acoustic guitar did a whole lot better than all 74 of you put together ever could. Every nuance. Every breath taken. Captured the mood and atmosphere of that song and made it even more spiritual. Somehow.. I have recently been paying close attention to Mike’s videos here on RUclips. Years ago I was exposed to the Africa cover like everyone else but I put it aside for way too long, and only recently with Weezer’s version being so popular I stumbled back in to this page only to discover all these amazing covers that just leave me speechless every time I hear them. I don’t know how he gets them all so perfect. I don’t know how he remembers all the cords and all the lyrics so well. I like to consider myself a person who pays attention to those types of details, but I can’t even remember all the songs I actually like near as well as he does.

      +TheBaronessIsAwesome Haha. With a crooked Billy Idol sneer to boot, eh. You know Billy Idol was approached about recording it before Simple Minds? Idol ended up recording it years later as filler on a Greatest Hits compilation or something like that. He did it well, but Jim Kerr and the 80s synth sounds of Simple Minds with Mel Gaynor rocking the drums owned it.
      Mike always nails his covers. No Billy Idol implications or parallels intended.

    Hey, hey, hey, hey
    Ooh woh
    Won't you come see about me?
    I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
    Tell me your troubles and doubts
    Giving me everything inside and out and
    Love's strange so real in the dark
    Think of the tender things that we were working on
    Slow change may pull us apart
    When the light gets into your heart, baby
    Don't you, forget about me
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    Don't you, forget about me
    Will you stand above me?
    Look my way, never love me
    Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
    Down, down, down
    Will you recognize me?
    Call my name or walk on by
    Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
    Down, down, down, down
    Hey, hey, hey, hey
    Ooh woh
    Don't you try and pretend
    It's my feeling we'll win in the end
    I won't harm you or touch your defenses
    Vanity and security
    Don't you forget about me
    I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
    Going to take you apart
    I'll put us back together at heart, baby
    Don't you, forget about me
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    Don't you, forget about me
    As you walk on by
    Will you call my name?
    As you walk on by
    Will you call my name?
    When you walk away
    Or will you walk away?
    Will you walk on by?
    Come on, call my name
    Will you call my name?
    I say
    (Lala la la lala la la)
    Will you call my name?
    As you walk on by
