This has been my new favorite TH-cam channel since I found it a couple months ago. Really amazing work, and as an aspiring musician who suffers with crippling lack of motivation these videos inspire me. Thanks Clemens!
I clicked like before even a note was played because of the shirt. As usual, the cover is spot on. I thought Michael McDonald would be too much of a stretch as he has such a powerful, soulful, unique voice, but you nailed it!
Just found your channel. One of my absolute fave songs of all time and you smashed it. What an insane talent! A real multi-instrumentalist and vocalist 🙌🏻😃
You’re the ONLY ”cover guy” who absolutely NAILS ALL the sounds (with authentic hardware no less) - and I know how hard that sometimes is! Do a tutorial on some of these songs, including your mixing process etc.? I’d much more watch you than that wack Reverb guy 😄
Haha, I hope they keep making all those wrong video's on Reverb, seems to bring people over to my channel. ;) I might do tutorials in the future, so keep an eye out! :)
@@ClemensWennersMusic yes please, i do covers from time to time and have found my noob approach, but i'm very curious about yours. Are you like us spending days just to ie. find a particular synth/sound/chord etc?
The guys a very talented musician, you sing well give us a live performance, you piano and reverb, Mr Mcdonald is probably the nicest guys on this planet, he's so down to earth, he is no one of these look at me, born into a Irish American Catholic family born 12 Feb 1952 he was born for stardom, one of the most fantastic voices ever, when he speaks you would not believe he has that voice, big thank you to his mum and dad for giving this man in our lives,, you should be proud,
Everyone who sees these covers and blown away, spread his name far and wide!!! Post him all over the net! We need to bring more subscribers to his channel!
I remember the very first time I ever heard this when it was first released was ag age 16 when I was doing my jog across the G.W. Bridge 🌉 late at night, it’s positive uplifting message of hope and redemption “carried me along”. 😅
Wow. Best cover I have ever seen regarding soundscapes. Hat's off to you and a tip to one of the best songwriters to grace the earth, Rod Temperton. I would love to see the break down of the piece especially the bass and synth parts. Thanks Dave
This is one of my fav songs, and how I found your channel via the algorithm. Im a BIG Rod Temperton fan (and Michael Mcdonald of couse). You have an incredible ear!! Ive been looking for an instrumental of this for years.
this song was stuck in my head all day; then I realized that this was on my list of cover songs to check out. (one of my obsessions is finding excellent cover songs!😁) This one was like fulfilling a sweet tooth with the perfect piece of candy. thank you!
Niiiice! You only have a younger sounding and less southern voice, Michael would have been proud of that brilliant rendition! Another great homage to the 80s greats, Clemens. Keep them coming man.
We need to find a way to tell Michael about it!! Or maybe not.... people are weird about copyright and stuff. :/. It’s a shame though because i think he’d be flattered!
Clemens I found your channel by trying to find a good version of sweet freedom and found this it was excellent and what I love most is you had the sound of the song but made it your own not many people would dare try to cover a Michael McDonald classic but you did and it is excellent as well as all your other songs on the channel
brilliant..... superb ear! you do what I do.... I'm just gonna learn this tonight.... always loved the song..... wanna do it it my duo..... such a GREAT pick me up tune.... great sounds.... and a LUKE guitar! I met him 2 months ago.... rock on bro !!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing song! Yet another great performance. You are one of the few cover artists who manage to get the sound of the original spot on! I really enjoy your channel, keep it up!! :)

Too good to be true...
Best Sweet Freedom cover yet.
Holy fricking crap. I think I've just discovered what goosebumps are. Either that or I'm having a stroke.
Hahaha! Comment of the week! 😂 Thanks mate!
LOL, the shirt is the icing on the cake. Nicely done.
Damn. You did Michael McDonald without sounding like Michael McDonald but sounded like Michael McDonald. Another Clemens Classic Cover!
Sounds more like Michael McDonald than Michael McDonald sounds like Michael McDonald.
well put ..he did the song so well with the same energy without copying
This is incomprehensibly brilliant.
This is definitely the best cover ever.
Oh nice attention to detail with the hawaiian shirt. Bonus points :) Beautiful cover.
I'm glad someone noticed! Haha! Thanks Paul!
:D Thank you!

Tropical.
Fantastic cover..congratulations
The pendulum has to swing back to the joy and positivity of the 80's at some point, everyone is just too cynical
It was a better time, for sure
Also, how about a studio tour? I'd like that very much
Hands down, the BEST cover of one of my favorite tunes!
wow! One of the most pitch-perfect covers I've ever heard!
ABSOLUTELY A GREAT JOB HERE I WAS SINGING ALONG FANTASTIC JOB
This video deserves many more views. It is really amazing how good the voice is.
Clemems you are SO talented!!! I listen to this tune several times a week! Keep up the great work! Your friend, Mike!

Best cover sweet freedom i've seen 😍😍

WOW! thanks so much for sharing your talent. Magnificent rendition!
That good even Shazam matched it with the original. Good job!!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
This is so great! Brilliant cover. Thanks from the U.K.

If Michael McDonald saw this. I know he would approve. I don’t feel like anyone else could cover this the same way you did.
