    Honestly, not much artists are able to keep up the spirit of this song w/o sounding ridicules or over over-ambitioned. This i s not perfect, but it's pretty much as closes as you could get to The Boss being James Blunt. Chapeau, Captain Blunt!

    Great performance.. When I listen to someone do a slightly different version or acoustic take on a classic it always makes me appreciate the original more.. sometimes with classic rock songs you don’t get to appreciate the song structure and lyrics until someone slaps you in the face with them again after years of just hearing them... brilliant
