It's strange, 2 weeks ago i had never heard of Dan Vasc. Amazing Grace shows up on my feed, now he's one of my favorite artists. Loved this cover. ❤️

Dan, I have a story to tell. When I was 15, my big sister and her 3 kids died in a house fire. This is the first song I recall hearing after I found out. And it never fails to do justice to how deeply I miss her and those kids, how much I just WANT another moment with them, even if I could go to the ends of the Earth, if I had to crawl there on hands and knees, I wouldn't think twice. THANK YOU for performing this beloved song with the dignity my sister deserves, and reminding me of why I will pick my head up, look life straight in the eye, and know how deeply the four of them remain embedded in my heart. ❤💙💜💙😔

Right, I just heard him for the first time@ Amazing Grace. His talent is fantastic. I like seeing his more polished and “manly transformation,” over the last 5 years. His face has matured, hair grooming is better( good products) and he must be lifting weights. Wishing him the best with his career. He’s got the “ It” factor.

I was born in Africa and it was my glorious home for 38 years before immigrating to Australia, but I have always been in love with Africa (people, animals, food, and land), and this song... one of my favourite songs of all time! Brings back some incredible memories...
Simply the best singer around today. Loved this one, too! I listen to Dan Vasc every day.
Welcome to one of the most unique voices today. If many of you have only recently heard Dan wait til you hear him sing opera and Christian gospel. WOW.

so, I started listening to OG Sabaton, listened to a cover, hit the star spangled banner by this guy and now I'm dancing at my desk when I should be working...................well done sir, well done.........
I just keep watching and watching Dan's videos because they 'move me' deeply, like no one else. A beautiful (but not likely) wish would be to see him in person i.e. concert! I am SO HAPPY Dan did not give up- no, not Dan- but kept on 'keepin on' to give the world his beautiful voice but also his creativity and I feel he is a very good man...THANK YOU DAN. Nancy
I will never listen to anyone else ❤❤❤❤❤
Dan thank you so much for your lovely voice you share with us. I am South African and living on the South Coast in Port Shepstone. I'm 64 yrs old and just discover your voice. I've shared your voice and music with my sons. Again thank you ❤❤
He nails every song he does. Where has he been all these years?

Whomever ends up with this amazing talent as a soul mate is extremely lucky. You sir have a talent that is rare! Please never stop singing.
The origionals are the blue prints of your success. You brought "new" life to this song.
Singers like you pass through this earth once in a lifetime....fenominal❤
I'm fromSouth Africa and this song is very popular here. Thank you.....as always you just did this excellently.❤
That chorus is straight up magical, especially the final stretch. Damn, man. Well done!
I saw your cover of O Holy Night a few days ago, and instantly became a fan. Since then, I have watched several more. I admire the Independent artist that makes music their own way. I have begun sharing your videos with my music loving friends. Wishing you the best in 2024 and beyond. ❤
Oh my. Dan I am in love with your voice. This rendition it truly the best I have heard, even with the original in that. Your voice is crisp and clear. I hope you are still singing and doing well. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Brilliant of you to do this so well. Greetings from Mossel Bay in South Africa. I love this song, always have.
Okay, but why is this the only version of this song where I can actually understand the lyrics? It feels like so many times the lyrics get all mashed together, even in the original. In this version, the lyrics are so concise, while still flowing perfectly with the beat. I commend you, sir.
