He has a great voice and this is a wonderful cover but I feel like the accompaniment takes away from the sensitivity and inner strength of the song

+McKayla O. I think it has something to do with the strumming of the guitar and the piano. But his voice is beautiful.

McKayla O. The accompaniment is too upbeat for the song.

@paulfaulkner5786 5 жыл бұрын

The accompaniment seems a little too involved, too "happy." Michael Crawford's version would be a good starting place. But this guy has an amazing voice.

the acompaniment is great musically speaking but awful for the song. it just needs one piano myabe simple orchestrations as not to distract from the raw emotion and sadness and strength of the song. Rob is always so incredibly amazing , he’s like west end’s aaron tveit.

By far the best male cover of this song I have ever heard - absolutely beautiful. I don't know why you would choose to do this but if you wanted to see a worse version than this, please pop over to my channel and tell me what you think. I wouldn't bother though - this is better. Check out Jose Carreras singing this too.

The last line, did he change it? I don't remember it as "No more gazing across the empty years" It was very poignant. This song reminds me of my Mom, this made me cry.

@Meg.01 8 жыл бұрын

It's usually wasted years, so either he made a change or got a little confused, probably because he didn't have long to learn this! Still brilliant though.

@mileycyrusfan197 7 жыл бұрын

when i heard the song, that line is "no more gazing across the *wasted years." i dunno if it has always been that sentence you said. 🤔

The accompaniment was absolutely dreadful, and while Rob was singing there was a question running over and over in my mind - who died???

@JS-yk7pv 6 жыл бұрын

Agree that the accompaniment - especially the not-very-accomplished guitar playing - is to the detriment of the performance. But far more so are the out-and-out wrong chords. Everybody is a musician...
