I am 74 & Teommy just gave me goosebunps. I loved the original in high school. He made this song his for his friend. Love to Tommy.

Still my favourite cover by Tommy 😢❤

Tommy's friend loved this song with Disturbed ❤❤ And you are not alone to cry on this one 😭

Absolutely Stunning! Beautiful, the best cover I have ever heard of this song. Tommy you are so gifted, thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Tommy is like an angel out of this world. Me my self have played bass, guitar, drums and singing since I was 7 years old now I am 53. I am pretty good at what I do but not even close to Tommy. He is so gifted. All he touch become gold. I have always said a song become better with a distored guitar. Tommy show us time after time that I was right. He make already great songs even better. His voice I have no words for. the register is totally crazy. I thought in my younger years I could sing high notes ( yes I could) But as I said Tommy is out of this world. I can only be thankful for all this great music he bless us with. And man I have cried many times when listen to Tommy. As a musician my self I can really understand how one of a kind this guy are.

Yeah he truly has talent! He has a rare ability to turn great songs into something extra! =) Tommy has the gift of song, instrumental playing, songwriting and art. That is rare! He is also very kindhearted.

Christian surely loved this song, i know that. Tommy even came to Christian's funeral and sang Soldier of Fortune by Deep Pruple. It was beautiful, and i bet Christian was happy to have Tommy as a friend. Sucha humble man

The sound of silence by all means a song that is very emotional to begin with and Tommy's version is really heartbreaking. Yor cry with him I cry with him and many others that were watching this video. That shows how much of his heart is in his music. You feel what he feels with every note. Please tell him that next time you talk to him.

By far Tommy's best cover so far (and he have done many good covers). IMO all the emotions he puts into it (anger, sadness, grief) from loosing his friend and recording this song as a tribute is what makes this cover so much better then the others. It's personal and when it's personal I think he subconsciously put a little extra effort into to it to not let his friend down. On top of that Tommy is a very skilled musician with a majestic voice and vocal range.

Actually Jonatan died first when he saved Skorpan from the fire, and a little time after that Skorpan died of the TBC and they reunited in Njangiala

I don't know if you know this, but Christian's brother Calle is Tommy's former bandmate from Reinxeed and Christian even sang backing vocals on their album Majestic. I knew about Calle, but only realized that about Christian yesterday as I was checking something about the album and I immediately got cold shivers. RIP
