I agree with you. I'm a fan if this artist, and I've loved the radio version if this song sunce it was released. But this acoustic version...damn, this is soulful and emotional and just awesome.
That performance is as professional as professional gets. You know he has sung the song 1000 times but he gives it like its the admission test for heaven.
@@randybarba6899 -- The Laravie sounded _much_ better than the Martin. I spent about three and a half hours playing and deciding which one "felt" better playing. I bought the Laravie.
Yes. No processing, no bullshit. Just the original version of the song that he wrote....and isn't corrupted by the business machine that pressed it onto a CD.
Too bad all the masses want now are Kesha, Kanya, and just stupid bs . 90's alternative is still my favorite. I don't get where and why it died but there's no more alternative music and it's depressing
Kevin Michael they don't care about talent anymore, they only care about controversy. If someone was shot 9 times they sign them to a recording contract. That's all that matters. So true talent like Shawn Mullins is falling by the wayside.
don't worry...he is. the worthy shall find him. we did. the new generation is fine. colter wall, billy strings...damn, there's LOT's of fine new talent. seek it out. fuck, john mayer is touring with the Dead and KILLIN' it. we'll be fine
My husband at 38 years old passed away 9 years ago, and i can hear him "trying" to sing this song when he'd make me mad. But I am thankful for Shawn's Lyrics and sweet voice, it brings tears and great memories. What a gift
Shawn Mullins, you still have those beautiful high notes, and the lone acoustic guitar brings a new sensitivity to an always great song. Well done, man.
Still vividly remember listening to this song on the radio late at night in the late 90’s when I was in like 4th grade. Love this song. Brings me back.
I remember seeing this dude promoting this song on uk tv when I was a kid. Asked my dad to buy it on tape for me when it came out, and he did. Man do I feel old.
I listen to this again... No, not because i can't stop, or that i am hooked on it. But i listen to it again because this is one of the best artistic displays i have seen.
One of the best acoustic live performance I have ever heard and seen. How can just one man create something so beautiful with just a guitar and that voice, what control. I am reminded of my college days, thank you!! better than the original version.
@@jonard2ballovar542 He is. As I posted above, he met a woman in LA who told him about how her parents used to party with the stars. And it left her life a mess.
this song is my childhood right here. I remember when I was little in the car me and my parents would sing all the songs off of every album. I've listened to this song since I was 2 years old that 16 years later I still remember every word
What a storyteller! The voice, the story (which he once said was real, sorta. Someone in LA told him about the parents who partied with the stars). I get mesmerized watching his hands move up and down the fretboard. In my late teens, early 20's, we'd play these open-tuning songs with ease. They sounded like magic. Now I can't even tell what the tuning is! But what makes it for me is the chorus, where his voice breaks high on that word. 'Ever-eee-body's gonna be all right'... Like you do with yodeling. What comforting words. Good to hear this song again.
This is one of those tunes you hold on to. Since it came out and I first heard it I´ve had it in my heart. Thank you, Shawn. You bring out some great memories.
I associate this song with a particular time in my life but to hear him now singing it live, WOW! He's just brilliant. Great voice and superb guitarist and great IRISH NAME!
This song came to my mind and I had to look it up....this is me, and I am crying profusely. No one has told me everything is going to be alright. Hearing this from you soothes me. Thanks
Wow! Just wow! Incredible acoustic version of a very catchy song. Not many musicians can play their own music to such a level acoustically but Shawn Mullins makes it look effortless, amazing
This song is timeless. his voice has aged well. one of those instances where the acoustic version is just as good if not better than the original track.
i'm 80 years young and this touches me deeply
This is quite literally one of the best acoustic performances I've ever seen on RUclips... what MANIAC would give this a thumbs down!??!?
Absolutely. This station had good performances
U
Me. 👎
Deal with it. 👎👎
Superb

Great talent...great song
It is not him, is the guitar... Lol
@@randybarba6899 -- The Laravie sounded _much_ better than the Martin. I spent about three and a half hours playing and deciding which one "felt" better playing. I bought the Laravie.
This is about a billion times better than the radio version by a long shot.
Yes. No processing, no bullshit. Just the original version of the song that he wrote....and isn't corrupted by the business machine that pressed it onto a CD.
Your comment is hyperbolic and repetitive. But, yeah. This version actually makes me cry. Every time.
Why does his recorded stuff mask what a talented singer he is?
Absolutely!
Raw and uncut
This is the type of musician who should be teaching the new generation.
i feel you

I 💯 agree with you,the music is actually coming from a guitar and that is his raw voice, anything today doesn't come close to the talent then
don't worry...he is. the worthy shall find him. we did. the new generation is fine. colter wall, billy strings...damn, there's LOT's of fine new talent. seek it out. fuck, john mayer is touring with the Dead and KILLIN' it. we'll be fine
Respect to this man. F*cking Awesome performance.
+nachocuevasc Seriously. Woah, let that guitar sing boy!
I'm very offended by your swearing and decided to gamble all my money. Look what you've d one
Fucking genius he is amazing
This is pure, raw, brilliant talent!!
His use of chords is so artful. It’s as if he’s painting, drumming and strumming. Fantastic!
If you play and sing, you realize how much talent is on display here. Shawn is so good... He deserves a lot more appreciation than he's been given.
Yeah those rhythmic harmonics are no joke. Cracker of a song!

Well said Sand da floor
Still vividly remember listening to this song on the radio late at night in the late 90’s when I was in like 4th grade. Love this song. Brings me back.
If I could sing, this is how I would want to sound.
OK, so we are all in agreement...this is the ONLY version of this song that is ever allowed to play again.
YES!!!!

It's 2024 and everyone desperately needs this reminder, eh! 🙌 ❤
This is one of those tunes you hold on to. Since it came out and I first heard it I´ve had it in my heart. Thank you, Shawn. You bring out some great memories.
I love him so much..... come to Fort Wayne, Indiana! I’ll come and see you!!!
i grew up with the song... never goes wrong... glad to jave such a musicaly poetic artist.
Feeling nostalgic while listening!! I miss the old days.. my high school days.
Nice voice. Great range. Dude ain't straining to hit notes. Very natural and beautiful. Thank you.
FLASHBACKKK wow havent heard this song in forever....damn he can bring it live too!
Even begter than the album cut! Loved every second.
The only time I ever called a radio station asking for a song was this one. Will be in my music playlist forever!
Me too!!! I always called this one in!
Me too!
Wonderful song.... I wish he could come to my local pub here in Trondheim....
OMG this is just an OUTSTANDING acoustic performance.
He has such an amazing tone to his voice.
HOW!!!! is this guy not a household name??? Off the charts vocals and musicianship
So true Im ashamed to say I heard it for first time this AM
2022 and I'm still enjoying Shawn's masterpiece. Enjoy!
Listening in Sept 2024. Can’t believe this masterpiece has been on here for 13 years and I am just watching it now.
April 2021 and I set this on loop. Dang those acoustics.
A master playing his masterpiece
I’ve been missing his live voice so long. Thank you RUclips
This is so incredible what a song. What a guitar player too
Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter cette chanson. Il joue de la guitare merveilleusement bien et sa voix est réconfortante. Bravo!
I associate this song with a particular time in my life but to hear him now singing it live, WOW! He's just brilliant. Great voice and superb guitarist and great IRISH NAME!
Wow that was better than the original so much more true to his voice and his talent.
