Wonderful diction and singing!

[@elflack9196]

what a perfect performance of a lovely song

[@msgdobes]

Fantastic...superb performance. Proper diaphragmatic support with unlabored breaths equals NO problem nailing the Ab with ease (you could have easily gone up to Bb on "I__if you can" on last phrase as I've heard some do . Good emotion and gesturing as well. Bravo.

Excellent version of this classic.

[@fifismith2377]

This is just beautiful.

Beautiful Brian, best wishes from Spain. I'm Edgar

Lovely performance and lovely lyrics. This song always reminds me of the movie "The Go-Between" (which is a wonderful work of art in its own right).

[@tahiragibson6407]

Actually it was reading the “Go-Between” that caused me to look this up. Haven’t seen the movie yet, though.

This Italian melody and Irish singer- what a happy confluence

[@simonmorrison3175]

'cept it's not an Italian melody - it's by 'Gilbert and Sullivan' not 'Gilbertossini' and Sullivano' lol.

​@@simonmorrison3175I seem to think Sullivan had a Cicilian granny, his mother's mother
