I love how you managed to capture the feeling of bittersweet in your performance. This song makes you feel like the golden days may be over, but they’re always with you. And although things may not be quite as good as they once were, you can still find happiness.
Normally God seems almost unlikely to reason alone. Then in front of the miracle of beauty, like this angelic voice and strong at the same time, here is that the unlikely is more real than anything else.
THIS SONG IS GIVING ME CHILLS! I listened to this for the first time when I took all my family to Goa for the Christmas celebration in 2019. For many of them, it was the first flight of their lifetime! I was excited too, everything was very well set. It was one of the best vacations of my life! Now here I am, on an entirely different continent, cherishing those precious moments of 2019 and listening to this song! Thank you for this masterpiece!
OMG Mark. Simply gorgeous and I just sent it to my 10 year old daughter. I told her, listen close. This, is, beauty & power. Yes I'm a musician, and I remember when this was aired on radio & MTV in the early 80's. Greatest version I have ever heard men wise
We hired Mark to play our event and he blew everyone away - Stole the show! He's got our recommendation and our thanks. This song in particular had everyone swaying :)
Listening to your rendition, I feel like I just woke up in one summer morning, in my house near a beach, and felt the curtain blown by the small breeze and I can hear the ocean and the waves.
La tengo guardada...es de mis favoritas, y día si, día también la escucho...en el coche, en el trabajo, para estudiar, o simplemente para pensar...a veces sonrío, otras se me saltan las lagrimas...me produce muchas emociones. Y tengo clarisimo, que será una de las canciones principales de mi boda. Probablemente la del baile... Gracias por hacer música!!!
Mark, for me to listen to this song sung by you, with your wonderful voice, it is almost a mystical experience ... Thank you, thank you, thank you from Italy
The finest version of this song I’ve ever heard, you’re interpretation is so good. A perfect example of how less is more - the simplicity of your arrangement exposes the depth of the message espoused by the lyrics. Great job!
Je suis française et ce soir la voix de cette personne a arrêté les pleurs de ma meilleure amie, la musique nous permet de surmonter n’importe quelle épreuve mais je trouve qu’il y a dans cette voix une chose aussi apaisante que le son des vagues un soir d’été et le réconfort des bras dans lesquels on se sent à notre place Merci de partager cette émotion avec chacun d’où qu’il vienne et qu’elle que soit son histoire
Merci beaucoup! Je ne parle pas français mais je suis en train d’apprendre, et j’aimerais pouvoir chanter en français dans le futur. Je récemment poste cette chanson sur Spotify et Apple Music si vous voulez écouter plus :). Merci encore!
Such a relaxed version of this much covered song I really like your approach and the sound in your voice it is fragile without being fragile I know that sounds dumb but that is how it feels to me.
@@CJReed-qd8xk The more I listen to it the more I like it. The song has many guises and covers over the years from Dance to Rap but this cover is just bare knuckles and a very simplistic approach which sometimes in life is what we need and we all forget about the simple pleasures. I just wished it was on CD release as I am not into streaming media I like the actual item in my collection.
I was sceptical at first on clicking on this thing this song only because I never liked the original but i actually like your cover of it its great. Much like your cover of can't help falling in love i was never a fan of the original Elvis Presley version but i can't even tell you how many times I listened to your cover of can't help falling in love. I don't know what it is you've taken songs i don't care for and give those songs a breath of fresh air. I do like the original sting fealds of gold but i think I like your version better its your approach to these songs that makes them great
Whoahhh, lol, i actually teared up. So much respect you put into such a beautiful piece of work. You really know how to pull something special out of these already creative perfections. I would LOVE to hear your take on "Here Comes The Rain Again". If you've never tackled that song, I think your intuitive gift would blow everyone away.
Wow - thanks so much for letting me know. It’s a major honour to have played even a small part in your healing process. Happy to hear you’re on the mend. :) ❤️
I don't know how exactly I came here but this cover is really good! while listening I suddenly cried because my mind, out of nowhere, imagined myself and my bestfriend 30 years from now and we would talk about being young and free
Absolutely beautiful rendition of this song brother! I’ve never heard it played with capo on 4th. Just tried it and man, your on point. My favourite cover thus far. Thanks for sharing. 😎
This is probably the most soothing voice I've heard so far. This songs one of my favorites, hearing it with so much passion brought so much feelings i left behind, im really glad i came across this cover:) you outdid yourself with this one, mate! Great job!
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst Are you gonna drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power, but we never say never Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip The music's for the sad man Can you imagine when this race is won? Turn our golden the faces into the sun Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune The music's played by the, the madman Forever young I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever? Forever, and ever Forever young I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever? Forever young Some are like water, some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later they all will be gone Why don't they stay young? It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth's like diamonds in the sun, And diamonds are forever So many adventures given up today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue Oh let it come true Forever young I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever, and ever? Forever young I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever, and ever? Forever young I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever young
You sing wonderful, you play guitar beautifully, thank you, I love your music!! 🎵🎶 Just California dreamin' here of getting out of Dodge. Your voice is also very soothing.. much love from Cali 🙋♥️✝️♥️🇺🇲♥️🎶🎵

Inspiring cover man. In like 60 years I want this song to be played at my funeral. No joke.
I'll be 87, but I'm in. Cheers!
+Seedman MMA just thought the same...
SeedmanMMA

I love how you managed to capture the feeling of bittersweet in your performance. This song makes you feel like the golden days may be over, but they’re always with you. And although things may not be quite as good as they once were, you can still find happiness.
Thanks so much. Love that you can feel what I feel!
🤗👍🌻
This was my senior year song and this version brought me to happy and sad tears remembering the fun and friends I've lost along the way.
Every night I pray for a man with a voice like this. Whoever has you is a lucky person.
haha. I just showed her this comment, and luckily she agrees :) Thanks so much!

Love this song.. played it at my dad's funeral as this is the best version I've heard.
Very honoured to hear that. Thank you for sharing and sorry for your loss! Love Mark
Fantastic job !
For a while, I was back as a teenager when I listened to this song.
Thank you do much for this acoustic version. 👍

+Karine McCabe Thanks again! Was happy to be there:)
One of the most beautiful singing for this song.❤
Listening to your rendition, I feel like I just woke up in one summer morning, in my house near a beach, and felt the curtain blown by the small breeze and I can hear the ocean and the waves.
I was 12 years old when this song appeared, I thought back then in 1984, how happy I am young ... ehh, how quickly it passed.
No way, you have had all in the world in a moment.
A sua voz é como dos anjos! Que Paz!
Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷

"I wanna live forever young. Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?" Love this song
I didn't think I would find such a wonderful interpretation, this is then the best of the best.
Hello. I'm Brazilian musician, and wow I love your version of this song! You have a fan!

Music is so influential on the brain, that the type you listen to actually has the ability to change the way you think and look at the world.
It’s true!
Absolutely beautiful. I'm blown away
It was my favorite song in the 80"s, And this version breathtaking. It made me cry...
Very nice version. Nice soft voice. Beautiful and now on my playlist

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madman
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures given up today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever, and ever?
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever, and ever?
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young
Gente, que linda essa versão...
