When you did this for my little girl Kayleigh before she passed Marty, it still brings tears to my eyes. She slept so well that night you recorded it for us. Thank you Brother
First cover in ages that sounds like an actual lamentation instead of a joyous religious song. Thank you for doing such an amazing job with this, it touched my soul.
Your voice got me through a lot in my life.I lost my husband 4 years ago and he had been in a wheelchair for a long time.5 days after his death I found your version of Dancing in the Sky.I guarantee I listened to that song 1,000 times and it did so much to aid my healing from his loss.Bless you and all you do
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss Stephanie. It makes me glad to hear that my music has helped you. Jesus has a much better place than this hurtful world for us. 🙏🏻
Voice is so haunting yet so warming, like an angel in disguise. So good to hear someone with raw talent and not all the auto-tune mayhem. Discovered this by accident and makes 2020 feel a little better
I feel that brother. This speaks to me as if it was written for me. Found you at time when I needed to hear this the most. And so I shall bow and let God's will be done. Thank you for the message and clarity. Hallelujah. Amen
What a great cover song. This guy Brett McDaniel writes and sings great originals th-cam.com/video/nWpwnKcJzrY/w-d-xo.html I'm a sucker for sad songs. But I enjoy a great cover like this one
One of the only versions that I can find that says “well I KNOW that there’s a god above” and not “well MAYBE there’s a god above” big salute to you guys for that, this is easily my favorite version of this song through and through
Tem razão Vinícius.kkk. Mas se eles querem ser vistos pelo mundo.....Que traduzam ora. Só nós que temos que aprender Inglês??. Eles aprendam também o português. Mas, brincadeiras a parte, eles são bons mesmo. Valeu. 👍
During these last years 2020 I have learned practicing believing God's Word. It's a Good Fight of Faith. We have a good, good Father. Your song touches the Spirit and the Soul. Thank you
I get SO tired of the covers of this that treat it like a Whitney Houston song, when instead it's so much powerful when it's sang quietly with tears in between verses. This is top notch, well done brother! Y'all caught my eyes and ears and I'm subscribed for life
@@MartyRayProject I believe that, I was raised Pentecostal, by my grandparents. Loved going then and as I got older understood the presence of God upon one, did some shoutin and praising his name as well. Havent been to church since my grandma and grandpa passed, but I felt the presence and was touched , Hallelujah, and may God continue his blessings through you. Thank you and God Bless,Victoria⚘
The people who disliked this wouldn’t know talent if it walked up and slapped them. I just found your channel and I’m amazed with every cover you’ve done. Amazing voice and so much emotion
I didn't bother hitting dislike, but one reason people may have is this and Buckley's cover are truly in debt to JOHN CALES definitive cover from the 1991 album " I'm your fan"
If you liked Marty Ray,I hope you don't mind my suggesting listening to his version of Dancing in the Sky.I found it the day after I lost my husband.He had been in a wheelchair for a long time.That song helped me get through the loss.Give it a listen and let me know what you think
@@stephanietip I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my husband last year, very unexpectedly. He was truly my best friend and was in my life since I was 12 yrs old, (and I just turned 43 a few days ago.) So without him...I am utterly broken and totally lost and, I only go on because I KNOW he would want me to try hard to. I also discovered Dancing in the Sky about a week after I lost him so after I finish typing this comment, I'm going to check out his cover of it that you mentioned. Just wanted to thank you for your comment and let you know that although I'm a total stranger...I fully understand the unbearable pain of this kind of loss. Sending love to you from NY. ❤
You truly do solemn justice to this song. Those who touch the dislike button have issues and can't appreciate pure talent. Thank you for posting and keep up the great work. I'm a fan.
I played this at my Nans funeral a number of years back with 2 of my cousins and might have to play it again in a couple of days at a cousins funeral. I haven't listened to this song for 8 long years. I just wanted to say thank you, it brought back many great memories and maybe a tear or two.
Tommy Doolan So sorry to hear that your cousin isn’t doing well bro. Jesus has a better place for us than this hurtful world. I’ll pray for your family. Bless you!
Our family lost the rock of the family back on April 18th 2021.I miss the amazing man that he was, of course he wasn't perfect but he did the best he could. He was type 1 diabetic and had his first heart attack at 45, I am 51, the baby of the family. I have two older brothers. He lived to be 78. He had passed away from a Brain bleed on a Saturday night. God got a beautiful angel that day. Rest in peace Pops until me see each other again. I know you are looking down on you family and friends. ❤
Gosh this song hit home with me made me cry. 3 years now that my son was struck down by a car . This was the first song l heard played after his death. Your compassion you felt singing this song was amazing. All other artists have been deleted you are the one l will listen to when l feel that l need it Thank you for sharing
What a great cover song. This guy Brett McDaniel writes and sings great originals th-cam.com/video/nWpwnKcJzrY/w-d-xo.html I'm a sucker for sad songs. But I enjoy a great cover like this one
Godless the power of song,...a truly inspiring and moving cover of a classic song ,...this gentleman sings from his heart ,..as if every note is blessed from his soul... 🙏
This is absolutely brilliant. The emotion in this is incredible, I can't help tearing up every time I listen to it but I can't stop listening to it. Bravo...
Truly thank you. I could sit here and type out every emotion I get when I listen this and tell you just how amazing and truly talented this man is.. but I really don't need too for you will feel it all for yourself. And for you Marty Ray thank you. When I needed to hear this most youtube blessed me with it. As a human being to another, just Thank you.❤️
God Is Good All The Time! Graceful singing brother...it touched my heart. Best singing of this song I have Ever heard. Thank you very much, perfect timing :. )
Hey Marty, I'm Brazilian boy, I love your covers and I really like your work and I wanted to know if you could cover Elvis's "Can not help falling love", I wish I could have this version to download, it would be too much, Thanks
This is the first song I've ever heard you perform. TH-cam suggested it to me. I don't think I've ever heard this song sung with such emotion until now. It almost made me cry. I'll definitely be checking out more of your stuff after leaving this comment.
Check out his version of Let her Cry. Best one ever. And as a Charlestonian, it's blasphemy to speak against Hootie and the Blowfish, but he did it better than they did.
I know you did this cover a couple years ago but damn man, you are so good so talented you can feel every lyric in the song when you sing it. This is the best cover of the song I've ever heard
When you did this for my little girl Kayleigh before she passed Marty, it still brings tears to my eyes. She slept so well that night you recorded it for us. Thank you Brother
so sorry for you and wife's passing of a special angel
God bless her soul
💙💙💙💙
RIP Angel, so sorry for your loss

God healed me of stage 4 colon cancer. An for that I cant say hallelujah enough!!!! thank u Jesus 4 Your blood

I love this song. It played on the radio again today. I just did a search and found it.
Praise God. Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Few people can sing this song and make you stop and listen. You have been blessed with an incredible voice and range, I hope to hear more from you.
I've never heard anyone sing this song with so much heart much love!
If this doesn't humble you, and bring a tear to your eye, check your pulse. You might be dead.
One of the BEST versions I have heard of this song.
I think it might be the best
Right up there with Myles Kennedy's cover 👌
Sing it BROTHER 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻.

You melt my heart Marty, and your heart is bigger than anyone's and it resonates with everybody
Your voice and this song are amazing
When music and incredible talent moves the soul........all there is to say is Hallelujah!
Genau, dass brauchen wir jetzt ! Danke!

I feel that brother. This speaks to me as if it was written for me. Found you at time when I needed to hear this the most. And so I shall bow and let God's will be done. Thank you for the message and clarity. Hallelujah. Amen
This is my prayer. That Jesus would do exactly this with the talent He gave me.
Just fantastic goosebumps 👌 👏 wow
"She broke your throne, and cut your hair." The words echo down the halls of time.
You can tell this song is in his soul. It means to him all God has to give
One of the best versions I've heard. Bravo.

Cohen wrote this beautiful song and this is a beautiful tribute to Jeff Buckley. Thank you very much for posting

@@MartyRayProject amen! were just His vessels!
The melancholy that flows through this song and this singer reflects, the feelings of this 21st century, or so it seems to me.
Beautiful....
You have the gift, that makes me feel the depth of emotions that the tunesmith was trying to convey from their heart. Good job sir.
I have heard this song many ways. I do truly believe this one is the best
Tears
God has blessed America 🙏
