Video filmed and edited by Dalten
Music produced and recorded by Derik
It's no secret that Sting is my biggest musical hero. I admire his writing, his creativity, his musicianship, and his integrity... This is one of my favorite songs of his. Although relatively obscure and rarely performed, it is a beautiful and haunting love story about a young woman and a much older man.
Once again, directed, filmed, and edited by my extremely talented brother, Dalten (featured on backing vocals as well). Just like all my videos, everything you see is exactly what you hear, no lip-syncing or faking!

Still keep coming back to listen to this version so many years later. Its better than the original in my opinion. Im teaching my kids who you are and my 15 year old son is now interested in listening to all your songs to learn from you. He is an aspiring song writer and guitar player. You inspire people! Hope you never quit the music!
Man, Jason thank you SO much for this kind compliment, this was such a special era in my life. Can't wait to hear your son's music. If there's anything I can do to help him with anything, or if he has any questions I can answer, please drop me a line at derik@deriknelson.com anytime. Appreciate you 🙏🏻
i don't understand why this isn't more popular. it's fantastic.
Probably the best song ever written and what a bloody brilliant version this is.
Great commentary Markjackson06.
This song changes the more I listen………thank you.
A fucking great performance by Derek. Superb. God Bless you Derek
Derik ! Why an I
Wow, Derik & Dalten. I'm your sister, and I'm STILL seriously BLOWN AWAY. This is amazing!!!! I am so impressed!!!!!!!!!
This kid is unbelievable. 4:00 and on is sublime.
@tinallama11 thank you so much!! so thrilled by so many positive comments... this really is one of my favorite songs and relatively obscure, so I'm glad people are enjoying it :)
Bravi Derik. Sting will be extremely proud of your performance 👏
@@peterkaabi5339 Thank you Peter!!
@Derik Nelson My pleasure Derik. 🙏
Nice. I wonder which sane human being would give this a thumbs down.
Derrick Nelson you took this song to another level specially your great style of singing and a total acoustic texture. Very well done..
Exceptional Derrik. You are awesome. May God bless you brother. 🙏
what a talent you have
This is perfect.
WOW! Sting is my biggest musical hero as well. He's never done a proper studio version of this obscure gem, and I think your version outshines his live performance and Shawn Colvin's take. Simply beautiful.
You, good sir, are ridiculously talented. This video is absolutely marvelous from your voice to the editing to your instrumental talent to just EVERYTHING. Fantastic.
You are pretty amazing and talented! Keep up the amazing muscial talent, god bless! :)
OMG !!!! this was BEAUTIFUL AND ELEGENT!

Derik respect from Georgia
@drocknelly It helps that you're also ridiculously attractive, but that's only one facet of you. Seriously, shoot for the stars because with those looks and your talent, you can GO places! I'm so happy for you and so grateful to hear your beautiful work.
Sometimes it happens ...that someone does the most magical cover that I listen to it more than the original....and I love Sting....you absolutely nailed it Derik...

Very beautiful

ammmmazzzzing as always derik! in love with your talent xo
Old enough to be her dad
But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances
And she was flattered by his charm
It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances
He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen
Anything she ever wanted
It was no problem for a man like him
And everyone expected soon
That she could ask him for the moon if she would wear his ring
Knowing glances from his friends
In the homes at the weekends of high society
But he didn't give a damn
He never felt more like a man
And all the time the clock was ticking
And all would envy
The older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes all would envy
In a house upon a hill
She was there with time to kill
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
The life was never what it seemed
To all her friends that she'd ignored
She denied that she was bored
She had no time for dancing - no time for dancing
But the clock upon the wall
That was ticking in the hall always reminded her
That life was going on elsewhere
But she was happy and she whould swear she wouldn't change a thing
And all would envy
The older man and his beautiful young wife
Yes all would envy
Now its five o'clock am
She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers
She loves to dance
She's missing more and more these days
But he's still stuck in his old ways
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall
She must be home soon - soon
Where a younger man would weep
He takes a pill and goes to sleep
Now who would envy the older man and his beautiful young wife?
Who would envy? Who would envy?
Excellent.
I just found this and another one of your videos for the first time today, all I gotta say is, damn. Props bro. :)
@deScheehals Thank you so much! I hope to come to Germany and perform one day and am so honored to have such kind fans there :) Please stay in touch and thank you for listening.
You guys make me so proud ! This is absolutely PERFECT !!!!!!
Гораздо гармоничнее чем Стинг
Благо Дарю тебе универсал многостаночник ....!
Продолжай радовать людей каверами которые лучше авторских исполнений .
great!!!
Love the gentle swing of the Bossa Nova in the background and your smoky vocals - please keep these quality recordings coming Derik!
If only I knew how to market you to the masses in this confusing music climate, we would both get filthy rich. Back in the day, you would had A&R dudes tripping over themselves to sign you. Impressive.
Me encanta, sigue!!!!
Great performance!!! Bravo!!
Your cover is very good actually outstanding! Reminds me of Michael Franks! I would sign you!
This is by far the best cover I have ever heard for this song. Great job!
Best cover ever done!!
Great cover!
Such an amazing talent you have. God has blessed you in such an incredible way!! Never stop what you do, stay strong and god bless!
Wow, Derik this is so beautiful
oh my god. eargasm.....
Very , very good
Good voice, you have a talent for sure.
Good job , video clip also
Hey Robert, thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch + comment.
amazing!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! A great performance, a great recording, a high level artist!
Awesome :)
Brilliant solution by giving a rhytmic base with the guitar. Plus I feel like your singing has something like a storyteeling quality, - similar to the Shawn Colvin version which I love. Great recording!! :)
Wow More than great
omG i love this video. beautiful voice!
perfekt !
Excellente! Great! Sting is a genius!
quelle maturite bravo derik, i waiting for the next interpretation of sting song perhaps la belle dame sans regrets
Snazzy.
безумно заболел этой песней
genial
Remarkable..
Прекрасное исполнение. Спасибо.
Great arrangement Derik! Kept the spirit, but put your own individual stamp on it. Subtle intimate confident version. Great filming and lighting by the way!
Brilliant! All I have are compliments.
Oh dear!
Amazing
@rodolfosol thank you! i will definitely keep sharing... music is my passion so I won't be stopping anytime soon :)
this is absolutely amazing! you're voice is lovely, i could listen to this forever
thank you from Moscow)
really nice job! Just a little over the top with all your clones in the video! but the arrangement is simply wonderful. As said here, this is one of sting´s obscure gems, cause the story is obscure and cause its not a "hit". I think you nailed it in putting your voice to the task of storytelling the story, as well as the instruments, not overdoing but helping the story flow. Shows good taste and a conceptual matureness in your music.
even his photos i think, or am i wrong?
..maturity 😊
Great cover
I loveeeeeeee loveeee loveee your cover, but can you make it download-able?thx for making the day before my exam much better ^^
Bravo
First, this is very good. I liked it. Second, Derrick you said your brother films and edits your videos, does he do all of them? Also, what does he use to film and edit? Thank you. Great job again, this song is definitely going on my playlist.
Wow :)
amazing voice :)
Знаешь Эрик все те певцы которые претендуют на мировую известность .все заявляют о себе именно этой песней....!
И я тебе хочу сказать .что у тебя получилось очень хорошо ....!
Может ты исполнишь известные на весь мир песни на свой манер....)
Я был бы рад послушать
Wonderful Mr. Nelson. Where do I find and support your work?
