The way he modulates his voice is top tier, he’s not giving you everything all at once, it’s subtle, then he goes full throttle, then back to idle. That’s what the great singers do, and he’s right up there, and he’s a great guitarist as well. What a talent!!

[helenpinchen]

He could sing a shopping list and it would be awesome. Such a great talent. Loved it.

Thanks so much Triple J for removing the chat at the start! This is a hidden gem and is now more listenable!

The sheer passion in the vocal interrupted me as I was deep in my work, drafting a legal document. I had to stop. What had been some background radio now took over everything. I love it when a song comes out of nowhere and takes you. This is a beautiful, mesmerising vocal. The band behind it are tight and really hold it down. I could have asked for a bit more of a Neil Murray (the English bass player) type bass presence, but I get that the point is to underplay so that the vocal really shines. Thanks for making my day into something I will remember forever.

I first heard Dan Sultan perform this cover and it is just beautiful, a talented artist who plays the guitar and sings beautifully
Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of a very significant time in my life...

This was so ridiculously good. I'm just discovering this segment in the US and it's been keeping me company at work all week!

Legitimately- 8 seconds into the song and it’s already upvoted and saved.

WOW!! And like an idiot, I nearly bypassed this on YouTube.
Dan Sultan is the man. Thanks also to the guys in the band, well done.

Love Danny boy. Man he's a cool dude. So humble, so talented.

[aarondaavidson]

never been huge on dan sultan but this cover has me questioning why. seems like a decent lad too. class version

[jpvoxdawg]

Good to see even Dan cheats the F and G barre chords. The constant tension playing this on an acoustic felt like i was giving myself arthritis.

[amari]

I listened to this ten years ago and I’m still loving it!

[rum]

One of the best vocal and guitar solos ever on a like a version.

[jten]

Have discovered so many artists from Like A Version (not Dan) but lots of others, such a great way to see the musicianship of artists. When is it not a privilege each Friday, whether a fan or not?

[jten]

Never gets old, such a great rendition

[weburnitatbothends]

Seriously, Dan singing this song is in my Top 3 ever and I don't even know who the other two are

[kathcar]

Alot of respect shown aussie to aussie.... wonderful. Nothing taken away from boy n bear....

[nathandublya]

Wow this cover is fucking amazing.... You'd almost swear Dan Sultan wrote it he sings it with such belief.... Getting high rotation on my iphone at the moment - loving it....

[aromaskin]

Absolutely made it his own! Blows the original away!
