I work in a care home on a Dementia Unit and I stream this onto a big screen for all the residents to watch. We have people at our place that suffer with great anxiety and depression and it's often hard to find things that settles them or distract them from the horrible disease.... but this song is such a powerful version you have no idea how it affects these people in a positive way... they just stare in absolute amazement at your talent and soothing vocals... even if you have Dementia and are totally detached from reality, it just goes to show how people can still relate to music, especially your music that is so incredibly pure. I myself very often return to this video and the other Bon Iver track you have done. words can't describe how perfect you have made these songs... better than the originals. if only you could see how your music temporarily heals these people who suffer from Dementia... simply stunning. well done Evan.

Listening to him playing the piano while falling asleep. Then I heard him sing for the first time. Woke me right up. You sir were born with the talent of a thousand men
I don't know why I am writing this, but this arrangement of Skinny Love with your great voice touch me. The best cover I heard. Thank you very much, Evan.
Probably listened to this version 100 times. Your arrangements are great and I quite often find myself playing along on the piano. Keep up the great work
I knew this cover would be amazing before I even clicked on it, but I never expected that I would be so extremely touched by it. You are a true artist.
I've been avidly listening to your piano covers and songs, but as soon as I heard you sing for the first time, I am just in awe. You've got talent, dude!
i just want to let you know, that your music brings tears to my eyes and it just gives me chills. its incredible, keep doing what youre doing. you will definitely go far in life.
My friend...you have a very bright future. Thank you for making music with your heart and soul. It makes the world a better place. Keep going and shine for all the world to see. You are a true star.
It's the beast version I've heard. The way you play these songs make them much more mellow and peaceful. And amazing man. Much love here, from a person who is young, but knows what good music and talent is.
Evan, you have one of the greatest gifts... Use your voice more and more. Trust me WE LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! like everyone here i wish i could sing like you... best wishes.
Woah. Truthfully the most inspirational song I've heard in a while. I'm a fan of Bon Iver but you make this song so much more meaningful. Bravo good sir, you've earned a new subscriber. :)
I was expecting just an amazing piano solo, and then I saw the mic, but I was wonderfully surprised with the singing! I haven't heard any of your singing covers before, and now I will search for them. Your voice is really smooth, in a different type way. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it's lovely. Great cover!
Hey Evan this is great stuff! Thank you for the videos. Every time I watch I wish I had a piano. Until I can afford one I'll pick up my guitar and play along.
One of the most beautiful covers I have heard in a VERY long time. So much respect, you should sing more often, your voice goes beautifully with your delicate piano playing... Can't thank you enough for blessing us all with such musical genius...
Okay, I've only watched your piano covers and they were really good. But I had no idea you could sing. And I just have to say that you're one of the most amazing RUclipsrs I've ever seen. Keep doing what you do.
I really hope more people discover you! you are really a musical genius, and you have a beautiful voice too! your covers are the best, and i hope you can make more, specially vocal covers! :D
My first youtube-idol was Kyle Landry. I've probably watched all of his videos (and thats a lot!). Then I recently discovered you and I barely remember any Kyle Landry covers now.. Now I discovered that your singing voice is brilliant aswell, so well done outplaying Kyle Landry! :b *Insert crowdy applaus*!
The harmony between your voice and piano is completely amazing bro, i'm glad to this song, maybe it's a cover but i love it, especially coming from you a man who says "i'm not a singer" but bro you don't need to be a singer to be one
