My dad was buried today. May Heaven have many spare seats. Thank you so much dad for being a bridge for your wife ( my mum) and 8 kids! Love you and forever will I miss you til it's my time. xx
I lost my older sister to cancer on March 23, 2023 😢 My pain is indescribable 😢 I am praying to God that through the words of this song, I will find comfort. And be at peace with His decision. 💔🙏🖤
I’ve loved this song my whole life. But I found myself listening to it often, seemingly constantly when I lost my sister. Some are luckier than others, but we’ll all eventually experience a loss we don’t expect, or maybe even one that we do. This song somehow helped me. And I hope it does you and others.
Hope this finds you in a better space, grieving still perhaps but smiling too and more often when you think of your lost loved ones. They’re still here. Just in a different room ❤️ Peace
I would describe my late mother as probably the best in the world but lost her about 3 years but I celebrate her life rather than mourn her death so please think about the great times you had together. It is only the body which is gone but her soul lives on. May the great God ease your pain.
it wasn't up to 'god' since no god exists. the world is cruel and sometimes people die before their time. a merciful god wouldn't allow that, nor would they decide to take someone for no reason. find comfort in the world around you, not in fairytales and makebelieve. make the world a better place for yourself now and for those around you. simple as that. god never did anything for you, so stop praying to a lie.
For a very short period of my life methamphetamines were my bridge. Now, thank God, living my authentic life as a recovering addict is my bridge. To all those suffering, find a new bridge. A new path is ahead!
Meth. is only a temporary escape from your problems, only to have your demons appear and torture you on earth. I am so happy you didn't burn your bridges. May god continue to bless you with good health, a good life, and a reason to live.
I lost my baby brother when he was only 17, we played the original version of this wonderful song which was one of his favourites at his funeral. For 30 years I could not listen to this song, now I can once again and this time with happy memories. God rest your beautiful soul my brother Simon, I know you are up there waiting to open the gates of heaven for me when my time comes and then we will meet again. I love you more today than I ever did. And thank you John Legend for such a beautiful way for me to reconnect with my brother once again.
Rest in Heaven, my dear husband. For 42 years God shared you with this world, but he saw that you needed healing and rest. I will forever carry your spirit in my heart....for you were always my bridge over troubled water. From high school sweethearts, to college sweethearts, to loving hubby & wife, to loving parents....I enjoyed being the other half of your equation for 26 years. You are gone too soon! Save a seat in heaven for me....
ThriftyDiva317 42 years young... is way too soon! 💔❤ 2 years since you posted this comment, and hopefully time has helped to ease your pain! I cannot imagine losing someone so loved and so special- a husband, sister, GOD FORBID a niece or nephew.. mother- I can't imagine not having her. I've only ever lost my grandparents and it was beyond devastating, but as sick as she was I was grateful to have had her in my life for 14 years! 26 years, having a child, sharing a life together is absolutely amazing. & obviously, you had a wonderful time. I'm so sorry you've had to grieve the loss of someone whom you loved so dear! I pray time HAS helped to ease the emptiness, and some of the sadness also. Your comment so beautifully touched my heart! Said a prayer for you! Glad he is at peace and Resting, and thankful in your reassurance that is where he is!!! Much love to you & child(ren)..❤❤
@@ianmostowy4582 It makes no difference as to the color of the singers' skin when I interpret this version of the song as soulful because this song was meant to be sung soulfully. If Josh Groban, Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, or Aretha Franklin sang the same song and the audience reacted the way they did to John's version, I would still think it was soulful.
John Legend is a LEGEND for sure. There is no song he can't cover; not many singers have that ability. He brings soul to everything he sings! Thank you for making me realize why I appreciate your music so much!
One of the few instances where an artist decides to cover a classic song and not do some mundane mockery of the original. A truly inspirational cover and one that makes me feel like I'm listening to the song for the very first time.
My brother's song man he loved this song! So do I He passed when I was little. I miss him today at 62! I think of him every time I hear this!!! Love you man
I remember my sister who just died last May .She siing this for me coz I every time I fall she was there to comfort me. She also give chance to someone I love finance the shortcomings to prove that a trust hand is there for me.. loveyou ate
the look and those eyes at the end of this song says it all. The camera caught it all. What a fantastic performer and yet so humble. . I have found a new legend.
I can appreciate him bringing this beautiful song to the next generation. Nobody can touch Simon and Garfunkel’s version. They wrote this for a dear friend dying so it was so personal to them.
This was played at Grandads tangi. Nearly 3 years later and I still can't get through the bloody intro before I just cry and cry and cry. I miss my Grandad so much. Love you my man!❤
I cannot get over how talented John is. The piano is beautiful and his voice is nothing short of unbelievable. He never, ever is off pitch. John is just one of many gifts God has given to the rest of us.
Like a "BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER".... WHO could be BLESSED so much as to even come up with such magnificent and meaningful words as this? : ................. Paul Simon!! Thank you Lord for the words and thank you John Legend for your OUTSTANDING VOICE.
I appreciate to have someone like you in world in times of sorrow you put smile and hope in my life. To those who have departure may their soul rest in eternal peace. I dedicate this song to my beautiful niece who was shot and killed may her beautiful soul continue to rest. May the angels be with her in heaven
yeah, Eva Cassidy had one of the all time greatest voices, i put her in the category of the super-singers like Patti Labelle,Ggladys Knight, Chaka Khan, and other singers of that caliber, so sad she did not live longer.
I could not hold back my tears in 2016 when a lady started singing this song in the church where I was. It came upon me like a balsam which made stronger to carry on no matter what I was going through.
I lost my dad 8/19/21, lost my mom 12/17/21 and the eating disorder, depression and anxiety I’ve had for 19 years are at the worst they’ve ever been today. For some reason I started humming this earlier today and this was the first version that popped up when I searched for acoustic covers. Thank you for this.
@Melissa Krimsky I am so sorry for your losses. I’ve been there, I can highly recommend the film “What About Bob” with Bill Murray. Baby steps! Baby steps will get you there. Take care, sending prayers and love to you. ❤️
When I saw your comment, I played the song again in your honor. Life sure can be tough. No doubt about it. I hope you have a close friend who can be a "bridge" for you while you are in the valley of life currently. Please know you are not alone in your suffering and grief.
Good God, Sooo powerful. Not ashamed of God given human emotion. God used you to get me through painful times of physical and emotional scars after 2 accidents. He really does speak through people. God bless you John and your family. I hope to meet you guys one day. If not here, maybe in heaven.
I've heard this song a million times sung by others and it never understood the messageas I do now.I got your back no matter how bad. He sang this song man I am a legend fan for life..
For me, when my soul hears a masterpiece, my eyes fill with tears, and they stream down my cheeks. Well, my soul just heard a masterpiece . . . Thank you John Legend . . .
@@johnflynn5044 and OMG, you are so right on with this response. Come to think of it, when I was young and first heard this song by Simon and Garfunkel my eyes welled up with tears even then. I mean we are talking about a kid that is 10 years old crying over a masterpiece. Thank you for making me remember this!
@@misstracy6821 please read the reply that I just sent to John Flynn because I want to tell you the exact same thing. Today is the first day that I have read any replies to my post. You both have essentially made me remember the impact this song first had on me as a kid. I think I got so caught up with the new version that touched my soul that I sort of forgot about Simon and Garfunkel and that is so tragic so thank you so much for making me remember.
I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel because my daddy loved them. I did not want to hear John’s cover - blasphemy!!! But it is a manificient version! Bravo! Bravo! Encore!
I remember seeing John Legend for the first time... It was at Slims on 11th St. He said, "a lot of ya'll don't know who I am, do you?" Then he started singing short versions of all these really popular songs, and the crowd started singing along and cheering and then he said, "yeah, I wrote all of them!" What a cool night! I've been a fan ever since.
Music will always help us cope with all the hell we are all going through so listen and take strength in it. We will get through this and at the end we will be stronger. I love all of you
Big John Legend fan! It's amazing looking into his eyes while watching him perform! You can and will feel the awesome spirit of the song he is singing! Awesome talent, strong spirit, and the most amazing and fantastic love you will feel while he performs! Peace my friend! Adrian from the great state of North Carolina!
This man's talent is incredible!! And to think he's from Springfield, Ohio - just about 30 minutes from me! And what a performance of this great song!! Love it!!!!!
He does the song justice. Just and amazing performance. One of the most important songs Simon and Garfunkel wrote. I love Garfunkel's vocal version, particularly the ending.
I love this guy. I really do. He is a special person. It is not just his talent, it is more than that. There is just something about him, about his face, about his "aura". He really does have something special.
What a beautiful surprise!! The most amazing voice, male or female, I have heard in many a decade!! Perfect pitch, beautiful control, fabulous command of hitting the perfect high notes. Oh, John Legend..you made me cry. And, there is only one other singer that makes me cry..Bobby Darin. But, I somehow think Bobby wouldn't mind that at all, as he would be enchanted as I was,waiting for him to hit perfect notes playing the piano so beautifully. Thank you, John Legend. Thank you Alexander Wirth for uploading. Beautiful!!
O wow o wow o wow. This song still gives me a thrill down my spine when I hear the opening chords. It was wonderful to see how many people in the audience were whispering along with it.
I'm a huge fan of John voice had the privilege of seeing him in concert. But this song is really one of his best covers for me. Just him and the piano. He is amazing. Wow. From Cape Town South Africa
It is great to watch an artist who can sing without all the sound stage, electronics behind them.. he also graduated from a prestigious music school in the US.
This could just be the epitome of emotional conviction ever recorded. The vocal response from the audience is skin tingling and evocative of primal and spiritual connection.
He is superb!! But sometimes I don't think people understand why he is so good. He has beautiful tall vowels or nicely rounded ones when needed. He doesn't hang out on the consenants like so many pop singers do. He makes vowels king. So it's pure and beautiful and able to be understood words wise. I watch his face stretch in all the appropriate manners like every choir instructor I have ever had tell me to do. My 90 year old client likes the sound of his voice (Classic crooner meets R%B) but appreciates that he can understand all of John's words. He is perfection. But more than that he is angelic. May his career be long lived!!!
I actually been to JL concert and heard him sing this live. It's so breath taking, mind blowing, and emotional. I was in tears. Amazing voiced touched by God Himself.
My dad was buried today. May Heaven have many spare seats. Thank you so much dad for being a bridge for your wife ( my mum) and 8 kids! Love you and forever will I miss you til it's my time. xx

MY FAVORITE JOHN LEGEND SONG,,, because,,, it's him,,
with the God Given Gift of Song,,
not clothes,, houses,, furs,,
A BEAUTIFUL RAWNESS
It's a Simon and Garfunkel song, but this paeticular version is my favorite :)
just a man and a piano...what a gift

He's what's called an artist not just a performer like alot are these days.

Try listening to So Hyang singing this song... best version ever sung.. she is in my opinion, the best female singer ever
I remember Simon and Garfunkel. This is is better.
I'm in tears😭😭😭😭😭 he did justice to the song
many many examples of exelent covers
My brother's song man he loved this song! So do I
He passed when I was little. I miss him today at 62! I think of him every time I hear this!!! Love you man
I listen to this song at least 2 times a week. I get a message. Alot of people cover this song but John Legend sings it the best for me. KTF ❤
I heard this song the year it first came out and heard it covered by every artist that covered it. John Legend does it best for me, also.
12 million just ain't enough! The world needs to discover this great cover of one of the best songs ever.
This is proper music, music for the soul

What is a soul?
Yessss
@Chris Carp really and truly, it does

Everything about him is that beautiful
Why are you struggling ?
My phone is always on so don't struggle alone.
thanks!!!
Let's admit it we all need this song right now..I am scared of the situation going please let's pray to God to give us strength to get through this🙏

Absolutely gorgeous, John Legend...so emotional. We have been moved...
I love that he stayed close to the original ❤️

Right song. Right instrument. Amazing vocal.
My first time hearing John Legend sing this! I really like it! ❤
Fun fact, Both he and Bart Simpson are from a place called Springfield!
Wow!!! How can you deny a voice that velvet? I can't. His smile, it's one that you can't get out of your head, and can feel the joy it gave eternally
Legend's rendition of this song is absolutely riveting.
That's the perfect word for this.

What a beautiful surprise!! The most amazing voice, male or female, I have heard in many a decade!! Perfect pitch, beautiful control, fabulous command of hitting the perfect high notes. Oh, John Legend..you made me cry. And, there is only one other singer that makes me cry..Bobby Darin. But, I somehow think Bobby wouldn't mind that at all, as he would be enchanted as I was,waiting for him to hit perfect notes playing the piano so beautifully. Thank you, John Legend. Thank you Alexander Wirth for uploading. Beautiful!!
O wow o wow o wow. This song still gives me a thrill down my spine when I hear the opening chords. It was wonderful to see how many people in the audience were whispering along with it.
To my son Jake, the bravest man I know !!!! Who has always stood by me, I'm always here
One of my absolute favourite artist. This version is the best ever
Hello me

Watch how I sang the song "Bridge over troubled water": th-cam.com/video/PZyb07p2D1g/w-d-xo.html
Music is the universal language. Such a treat to hear JL sing this song on his own rems.
When an artist sings with their soul it fills mine and covers me with goosebumps. Thank you Mr. Legend for this beautiful exchange it's why we live.
FANTASTIC rendition. CONGRATS and WISH YOU The BEST
This is so beautiful. This is what music really is. So heartwarming. ❤️
John Legend - you are an absolute legend!!! This is awesome, just love it!
I'm a huge fan of John voice had the privilege of seeing him in concert. But this song is really one of his best covers for me. Just him and the piano. He is amazing. Wow. From Cape Town South Africa
It is great to watch an artist who can sing without all the sound stage, electronics behind them.. he also graduated from a prestigious music school in the US.
Beautiful simply beautiful
This could just be the epitome of emotional conviction ever recorded. The vocal response from the audience is skin tingling and evocative of primal and spiritual connection.
He is superb!! But sometimes I don't think people understand why he is so good. He has beautiful tall vowels or nicely rounded ones when needed. He doesn't hang out on the consenants like so many pop singers do. He makes vowels king. So it's pure and beautiful and able to be understood words wise. I watch his face stretch in all the appropriate manners like every choir instructor I have ever had tell me to do. My 90 year old client likes the sound of his voice (Classic crooner meets R%B) but appreciates that he can understand all of John's words. He is perfection. But more than that he is angelic. May his career be long lived!!!
You sold John Legend to me.
What utter bollocks
Elvis and London philharmonic orchestra the dogs balls
