    Ed's version has the soul of a young man, troubled in love and life.
    Foy's version has the pain of a man that has lost that very love and coping with that life.
    It's cathartic. I can't stop listening.
    I'll clarify further by saying that I do enjoy both versions but in their own right. Also, I prefer Foy's version.
    Ed = Pop, upbeat, softer, lighter feeling.
    Foy = Soul, bluesy, gritty, heavier... You just FEEL it.

    • @gamemaster8488

      James Lifsey I disagree. Ed's version is 3 notes on repeat and he just sings like he always sings. Smells of amateur, afraid. This is still not entirely blues but it grasps its elements much better
      To me Eds version is a failure cuz of 0 experience but kudos for trying and this version is the move over, ill show you how to do it.

      Ed Sheeran's cover popped out on my feed and I was just thinking about that.
      Most people in the comments seem to mistakenly recognize this as an original, which is shameful. Ed Sheeran is to blame.
      However, I believe Foy Vance and this song in particular will always have the recognition and appreciation of those who this song was written for. Those who actually understand and appreciate the blues.
      No autotune pop-ish version targeting a naive and futile generation will make the audience that knows who wrote this masterpiece forget the true blues artist and man Foy Vance is.
      He has less recognition, but the recognition of the right audience, who can appreciate the blues. That is how I see it.

    Lyrics:
    'When the sins of my father
    Weigh down in my soul
    And the pain of my mother
    Will not let me go
    Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
    To refine the purest of kings
    Even though
    I know this fire brings me pain
    Even so
    And, Lord, just the same
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    And the seed needs the water
    Before it grows out of the ground
    But it just keeps on getting hotter
    And the hunger more profound
    Well, I know there can come tears from their eyes
    But they may as well be in vain
    Even though
    I know these tears will bring me pain
    Even so
    And, Lord, just the same
    Oh, make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    The seas fill with water
    Stops by the shore
    Just like the riches of grandeur
    Never reach the port
    Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
    Oh, let lightning be the veins
    Fill the sky
    With all that they can drop
    When it's time
    To make a change
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Oh, make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain down, Lord
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain down
    Make it rain
    Make it rain'

    RUclips just recommended this song to me.
    As I sat here and listened to this song for the first time, the most disturbing thing has been happening:
    As I think about my past. of my mother and biological father, how much suffering occurred between their abusive tendencies. my brother and I caught in the landslide of their ways as children back then.
    I start to cry. As I do,
    the tears are burning my eye sockets, quite unbearably. All the times we shared, holding eachother scared, my brother and I, listening to violent beatings enacted by a crackhead father onto our mother, in front of us, give or take if we were next...
    Sure enough, I hear the lyrics "I know these tears will bring me pain"
    I was shocked that in fact this was happening quite literally at the moment, my tears were bringing me physical pain as I allowed more of my heart to be vulnerable to the voice of Foy Vance. I have never quite experienced burning tears ever in my life... There could be something esoteric happening here.. as I don't believe in coincidences. There was something greater at work during this experience
    And in short,
    This is one of the greatest songs any human could possibly hear. I'm grateful for the existence of this lyricist and vocalist. Thank you. You've heal me this day.

    When the sins of my father
    Weigh down in my soul
    And the pain of my mother
    Will not let me go
    Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
    To refine the purest of kings
    Even though
    I know this fire brings me pain
    Even so
    And, Lord, just the same
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    And the seed needs the water
    Before it grows out of the ground
    But it just keeps on getting hotter
    And the hunger more profound
    Well, I know there can come tears from their eyes
    But they may as well be in vain
    Even though
    I know these tears will bring me pain
    Even so
    And, Lord, just the same
    Oh, make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    The seas fill with water
    Stops by the shore
    Just like the riches of grandeur
    Never reach the port
    Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
    Oh, let lightning be the veins
    Fill the sky
    With all that they can drop
    When it's time
    To make a change
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Oh, make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain down, Lord
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain
    Make it rain down

      Indeed... I don't think you can truly listen to this song without crying.

    Manoooo do céu. Esse cara é muito bom. Todo o sentimento que ele coloca na música me faz tão bem nessa noite chuvosa. Nunca fiquei tão grato pelas recomendações do youtube.
