I think this is the simplest and most natural cover of this song I've ever heard. It's just perfect.

Your rendition can only be topped by the original. What an impressive guitar technique. Thank you for uploading this.

@keithbateson3139 I am working on a version of this myself with a great young singer so have been listening to at least 10 versions on youtube. Yours and the Dido version are my favourites by far. Thanks for doing it.

This is phenomenal. When I saw the thumbnail I was curious how you’d put it together and you completely blew me away. Well done, man. Well damn done.

This is one of my all time favorite songs. Before now, I could only listen to the original by Bronski Beat. It came out in ‘84 when I was 18 and my big brother was pretty much living this song. It still brings tears to my eyes. I’m by no means a violent person but the only person I’ve ever slugged was saying mean things about my brother. She never did it again. At least, not in front of me. My brother has gone to live this incredible life and I honestly can’t be more proud of him! This beautiful song always brings back memories. You’re the first to do it justice! Thank you
