I keep coming back to this video every few weeks to get my fix. Such soulful simple beauty to this song. ❤️❤️

I love how that fire knows exactly when to make a rimshot.

Mesmerizing-voice and guitar. It just doesn't get better than this!

How is good to hear Steve Winwood,

Probably listened to this a hundred times and am still in awe. Always been a fan of Steves', but this one is his best!

Talk about the high water mark... This man and his music are legendary...

Humbling, right? What pure, raw beauty.

The snap of the fire was perfect! ;)

The ever brilliant Stevie Winwood thank you thank you 🙏 ♥️

This is my alltime favorite song. And this is my favorite recording.I like how the fire popped and Steve didn't flich 1 bit he was deep into the song. Perfect

Absolute perfection

Priceless!!! My favorite BF song!!! I love this all-acoustic rendition!!! Thanks Sir Steve!!! You surely still have "IT"!!

guy is magic..love Steve..never be another

In the late 60's early 70's such a magic ship of albums that sailed crisscrossing the Atlantic, from England to the States and the States to England. What a glorious time to be young and turned onto music such as this.

This is the best version, that said thankyou steve winwood for the songs.

The master shows how it should be done!

This is so good, it sets the standard very very high....Legend.

been listening to you for a lot of yrs now Steve in my oppion this is the best youv'e ever sounded singing this song and your guitar playing is Excellent keep up the good work Rich in WV

This is GREAT! Beautiful song!

Beautiful song, England had some great musicians.

Goosebumps every time. Can I have those mics? And where do you buy snare firewood?

The line, "At the age of 14 Winwood joined the Spencer Davis Group,..." from his bio on Wikipedia, just amazes me. More amazing was that he had been, "backing blues singers such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Eddie Boyd, Otis Spann, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on their United Kingdom tours" before that. What a bold and talented individual!

Beautiful song

I found my way. ❤

the more I listen to this, the more I feel for you, the more your passion, your loneliness, your soul touches me, deep deep deep inside. Thank you so much :)

Sublime..

Oh Lordy, Steve! What a sweet version of this song, with the Martin in hand; and your vocals on this have never been better! I'm so glad I found this channel. Caught the band at the House of Blues last time there. Great, great show! Thanks for such a terrific and extensive songbook, and so happy that you and Eric are working together again too! God bless!

My favorite song.

Amazing Legend

Awesome. Beautiful. I hope the album and song win at the Grammys.

I tuned my Yamaha down one whole step and dropped the low E to a D and it sounds just like his, minus the particular sound you get from a Martin of course. The timing of his playing is really amazing. He gets a feel going from the start and runs with it and used his guitar and voice to amazing ends. The balance is beautiful. I agree about his vocals being very, very good. After all these years, there is still hope. If this is the bar I am looking for a way UNDER it ;-)

sitting all alone by the fireside, listen to the wind in the chimney top...

God damn it Steve! Your voice is outstanding

beautiful sir thank you very much. you have been a big inspiration in my life and are defiantely in the soundtrack to my life.

Great Video! love the song!

fucking genius

Thats a beautiful song and I hope you and Eric wind the Grammys.

Awesome :)

Awesome Idea To Begin With,Your Song Has Inspired Millions,Entire Generations,Still Sounding The Best To Me My Friend:)Thank You For Just being You,Your The greatest! Music=Peace!! Randy

AWESOME Version! Drop *C* tuning? haha. I don't blame you, that song wails in D. And in this laid back setting sounds great in this key.

Any more videos of Steve performing acoustic versions of his songs? If you're in the uk you can see "Steve Winwood: English Soul" on the BBCi player until 27th Jun At 29 minutes there's a clip of Steve playing Dear Mr fantasy (looks like it's from the same 'session'). Only a few seconds though. Would love to hear the full version

I like SW music, thanks Larry for the send, very nice

@adwani64 You beat me to it (by a year lol), goosebumps every time.

dude needs a bigger fire. That said Traffic + Dead at Meadowlands one of the best we attended

Winwood plays in drop tuning lolz HEAVY METAL \m/ xD

*****

Wow, a whole year since another comment. Is Steve not remarkable? Can't even say "Great song." or "Good work!"?

What has happened in England, from this soulful songwriter and aesthete to a songwriter like Adele?

I wish he didn't drop his tuning down 2 frets.....Beautiful song. He's great...
