Love this song so much, and it's obvious that you're vibing and resonating with the tune when you sing it, Mary. I always add up that smooth Justin Vernon mashup at the end, "I found love babe...Love in the nick of time" ;)

Thanks MarySpender! Great rendition of the classic Bonnie Raitt!

Bonnie Raitt is a hard act to follow -- but you do her justice Mary! Gorgeous version

I lived this song in the fall of 1983 with my first love. It still breaks my heart to hear it after all these years. Your version, Mary, is so genuine and soulful. And I love your British pronunciations of “patronize” and “can’t”. ❤️

Yep, I was going to say it adds a new flavor to it the way she pronounces the words a little differently. Great.

Yep love Bonnie .....but the American "patronize" and "cant" really bugged me ... thanks Mary :-)

very impressive, .... especially, as it was written in 1990 for the luck of the draw album by bonnie raitt. great song though, and absolutely worth covering

@@svenholsten1642 Written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and Bonnie's version is excellent. Mary does very well as this song. Bonnie is a very tough artist to cover.

Her British pronunciation of "can't" is adorably charming! The Bonnie Raitt version is one of my wife's favorite songs and she's gone gaga over Mary's cover. Bravo!

The secret to tone is in the Rick Beato black T

What a fantastic cover! Bonnie, I’m sure, would be proud of how you presented her incredible song! Thank you, Mary. You are a unique talent and I love your voice.

I loved this song the first time I heard Bonnie Raitt sing it. You have a great rendition of it and it sounds just a beautiful.

I've never heard your British accent more when singing than the word "can't" on this cover. Beautifully you. Love it!

Beautiful cover. For the record, while Bonnie Raitt made this song a hit, it was written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin.

You are therapeutic Mary....thank you.. it is much needed at these times.

Not enough great altos, and you are one of them!!! I discovered you on Rick Beato's channel and THIS is the song I was hoping you had covered. Looking for Karen Carpenter next. The richness of your low register is a treasure. Great cover!!!

Hearing this fabulous song, one of my favorite from Bonnie Rait, I was wondering where and when was the last time I heard it. That was one of the songs my daughter use to sing when she was doing contests as a teenager. Thank Mary to bring me back in these wonderful time where my little one, now a woman, use to amaze me with her courage to step up on the stage and sing a song that was not popular from the judge and the public. She sang it not because she would win but because it was such a beautiful song, that’s it. Your interpretation make this song even more beautiful. 🙏

Cause i can't make you love if you dont💛

Dear Mary, hello from far away. When I found this channel, you inspired me so I bought a guitar, because I never got to learn any instrument. That was a great decision. It's awesome that you decided to share all your wonderfulness with people like me, thanks a lot!

The meaning this has to me is profound and deep. Not exactly not crying right now.

Everyone has sang this song, but I happen to find out about it and to buy it, before Bonnie Raitt recorded it. Mike Reid wrote it with a friend and released it on a CD. It's worth a listen on KZread.......It still gets to me...

Flawless performance as usual xo much love in music 🎶

This is a beautiful cover Mary

Can't believe this doesn't have a bazillion views...

You can’t make us love you if we already do mary

I love your voice!!! This is one of my fav songs and I love your version!

I love the qualities in your voice Mary. A very good range, and the dusky quality is just amazing. Your playing is kick ass too. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

You sing and play this song so amazingly well, the kind of voice that takes you on a journey. Thank you for sharing your talent, it is gratefully appreciated. :)

I simply love listening to your voice and the way you make the lyrics genuine. You don’t sing a song, you sing a story.

Wow, real music. I'd almost forgotten it existed in 2020. Mary, you sing like someone far beyond you're years, and I believe you. 👍

Mary Spender is the 5th Element & must be protected at all cost.

I love this song, it came around and was both beautiful musically, but dark lyrically. A contradiction, a producer of introspection, and a song to dance to at my wedding that made some wonder why. Lol Nice cover Mary!

I was literally listening to this song after like months when this notification popped up like damnnn that was some timing

One instrument and one voice. Unbelievable sound for that!

Mary ( aka Big Spender) I really liked your version of this song. Thanks for sharing I'm more inspired every time I see your work.

Great version Mary. I still think the George Michael version on Unplugged is one of the best vocal performances ever.

The guitar sounds fantastic here

You know how people always say that Jeff Buckley's stripped back version of Hallelujah is the best ever version of that song? It's the same with Mary's version of this song. Absolutely love it!

It's pretty good. But you need to see Bon Iver's version. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2eKzMN8qZjNk84.html Prepare to have you heart ripped out.

Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.

When I first heard Mary sing one of my first thoughts was I wonder if she had done any covers of Bonnie Raitt songs.

Wonderful take on one of the most beautiful songs ever. I’d love to hear your version of My Funny Valentine

Gorgeous singing. Gorgeous.

You can't make me love you. Because I already do. Keep doing what you do, ma'am. Your music is a gift, and I'd not trade it for the world.

As a long-time American fan of Bonnie Raitt, I enjoyed this excellent version. It really shows off your vocal skill, talent and artistry. In USA, when I still watched television, I used to watch “American Idol” and “The Voice”. Not only do I love this, I think Simon would love this too - and he is notoriously extremely difficult to please. Bonnie Raitt would be proud. John Raitt would be proud.

This video is made possible thanks to your wonderful skills. Great job. Love the set up vintage microphone/ modern in ears.

Mary is great, but if you want to hear this song... Really hear it? Check out George Michael's version from his unplugged sessions. I'm not taking anything away from Mary here, I love her voice and she's so talented, but do listen to GM's version.

Dang! Riding along in the California redwoods when Bonnie sang this over the AM radio. A great song moves through you like a forest scent carried on the softest evening breeze. Not just a cover Mary, you've made this yours. And we are transported. Gosh. Thanks.

God I love this woman.

Wonderful! This song is miles deep with emotion and you nailed it!

Omg i love this song, such a beautiful cover !

Wow, such a beautiful cover and wonderful playing. Thanks for posting this cover and brightening my day.

Beautiful as always mary. Nice one. 👍

I really enjoy hearing you perform. Thanks so much for sharing.

Sharing your soul makes you stronger. Thank you for touching mine.

I love this!!❤️👏👏🎉🎉

I love this song. You do it SO beautifully.

I've always loved this song and this is a lovely cover. It definitely calls for a soulful voice like yours

I really like your phrasing on this, great work!

So much emotion... Amazing song ❤️

YESS FINALLY this is such a great song!!!

Beautifully done as always. Thank you for stirring memories of my Mother when I was young. This was one of her favorites to play at home on her 8 track console where she would play one tape all day long as it was background to her while she did what ever she was at the time. Anne Murrays "Snowbird" was another.

One of my most favorite songs, splendid cover!

Your covers are perfect to just watch, relax, enjoy. Wonderful!!

What a lovely take on this song. I'm so used to hearing Bonnie sing this that it's great to hear a beautiful, fresh version.

This is one of my favorite songs to sing at karaoke. Hats off to you, ma'am.

Nice Mary! Soft and peaceful melody. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! You have such a soulful voice.

It's so wonderful to see someone sharing a genuine passion with the world. Thank you, Mary.

This is one of my all time favourite songs and you somehow made it better. Simply amazing

Well done! Great job with this one, the emotions come through so beautifully in the vocals.

Absolutely loved it ❤️ This is one of my all time favorite songs. Many have tried to cover but only few have been successful in my ears. You nailed it 👏 Beautifully and respectfully done. Thanks for sharing this.

Simple, and simply beautiful. Love your voice, as always. The pause/silences are brilliant, adding anticipation in their simplicity.

One of my favorite songs of all time. You killed it Mary. A hauntingly beautiful vocal.

Beautiful performance. Love this song by Bonnie.

Wow the color of that guitar 😍

Mary, just wanted to say that was a beautiful cover. Keep playing amazing music you do.

I wish I could wrap myself up in your voice forever...all of the stuff you do , but this one is particulary amazing. Thank you for posting.

Very tasty guitar work... subtle, not easy, fluid with just the right tension... especially hard while singing. Impressive.

Stunning, very well done. A heartfelt song by one of the best sung and played beautifully.

Takes a lot to keep my attention on some covers but this grabbed my attention. Keep up the great work Mary.

Just Beautiful!! ❤️

Perfect!!!💓❤️🎵🎧

Great cover Mary! Love the song and love your interpretation

Really nice. Love this song.

You are an awesome musician and singer. Nice performance

Oh cheers Mary.. Sittin here with tears in my eyes. Beautiful work.

amazing cover... listened to Bonnie sing this so many times! Thank you for this!

Just beautiful - thanks for sharing your wonderful voice with the rest of us. :-)

Beautifully done. You have done justice to this song.

I traded my Viger... More fool me once again. Lovely cover.

Beautiful!

Silky smooth. Great job.

Now that's an inspiring cover. Great performance, Mary!

Beautiful.

So damn beautiful ! Thank you Mary .. you have the power to awaken the soul .

I've always liked this song, and you do a really good version of it. Thank you!

This was extremely enjoyable.

Masterpiece as always 💯

Love the personal treatment you've given this beautiful song

so sweet, your playing and singing are incredibly enchanting, thanks for posting

Dude, that was gorgeous!! I think your voice sounded fantastic. And the guitar tone was interesting; I think it really worked. I enjoyed that a lot. I've always liked this song. Great cover!!

Stellar voice!👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It is lovely. A beautiful, individual version of a classic track. The beauty is is having the skill, experience and confidence to slow things down, which can be hard, and make every note, every pause earn it’s keep. You have done a wonderful job.

Talented, passionate and fit. Keep it up. Your hard work is paying off. Your success is well deserved. Best.

Beautiful version of a lovely tune.x
