Cindy Holmes, Absolutely! I’ve seen him in concert five time now and I swear that with each concert his voice is even more heavenly. He had me totally overwhelmed with tears at the last one singing a Joni Mitchell song. Can’t wait for Covid to clear so we can have another concert to look forward to eventually.
I love the imperfections in this cover. The harmonies that do not necessarily blend, the slightly off but passionate singing by Rufus, Moby's bass-baritone vocal that is an octave below than Rufus' line.. It reminds me of what music is supposed to be - human.
at first i wasn't really into their styles , but about halfway i started to realise that all their different voices and rawness of the song was really imperfectly perfect, if you know what i mean
When I was a 19 year old pregnant bride and we went to the music store on the ave in Seattle to buy their just out albums. All those years ago and the Beatles songs can call us back, right back there.
I am crying right now, watching this in two thousand nineteen. I had this song on my labor playlist when I gave birth to my first child in my living room. Talk about emotions.
Another Lennon masterpiece that is not easy to sing. No one will ever get close to John on this one, but they've honored him nicely. I watched this live and was absolutely stunned at Sean's talent. His Dad made playing and singing these songs look easy. It wasn't.
I've rarely heard a performance where a band has loved a song as much as these three do. They're almost reverent. Their stripped-down performance lets a beautifully simple song shine through. Wonderful.
This is all rather new to me...I have been following "the yellow brick road" looking for Rufus (I think he'd enjoy that allusion) and what I have found is others who appreciate him. Good stuff....
The thing in your eyes is that shower of bullshit you're standing underneath, probably. Take a breath, close your eyes & actually 'listen'.....realise that these 3 bozos (yes, I know it's Sean....so what, frankly) sound like 2nd rate buskers with 2nd hand instruments in an underground / metro station, 'performing' for passers-by.....i.e.....pretty shite. There's 3 official (that I know of) Beatles versions of this song....listen to those instead.
I am totally Blown Away sitting here after 15 hour day job with tears running down my face John Lennon a new are you there father son flash shoes Simply Beautiful
I've loved this song for ages and will keep loving it until I die. This version is wonderful. John is surely proud, up in Heaven! Rufus, you're the best!
I recall listening to this song when it was first released by The Beatles, and the almost haunting words of John Lennon, "Nothing's going to change my world..." and thinking something along the line of, "Oh John, I sure hope you're right." But sadly, tragically it took just one man to change the lives of John, and his loved ones, forever...John was taken from us in an instant, and there was nothing to be done. Humpty Dumpty had fallen off the wall and he couldn't be put back together, again. What a horrible loss for his wife, Yoko, who witnessed it all...for their young son, Sean, only 5 years old...and for his former wife, Cynthia, and their son, Julian, then 17 years old. Such a waste of a life. But, he gave us his best in all he did...his fine sons; his music; his writing...and last but certainly not least, his humanitarian efforts. May he rest in peace and may we remember what he tried to teach us, "Give Peace A Chance." John Lennon is a tough act to follow, and I wonder if this isn't what his sons have struggled with through the years. Hopefully, at this point in their lives, they have each found their own ways of expressing themselves without having to consider whether or not their works measure up to that of their father's. Be yourselves, Julian and Sean, and rock on, and may God be with you, always! Julian, my sympathies to you for the passing of your mother...and Sean, tell your dear mother, every day, how much you love her! He had the time to be involved in your upbringing, for his career was well established, and you and your mother were his world. Julian, in your situation, your father was chasing the dreams and making things happen...and eventually, his work paid off, in the result of the most phenomenal band of all time, The Beatles...simply put, he did what he felt he had to do at the time...he didn't love you any less, he simply couldn't be as available to you and your mum. And, great rendition on your father's song, Sean! Have the two of you ever considered working together on something?

Tienes toda la razón, el contraste que le da es espectacular. En realidad las 3 voces en el coro le dan un tono sublime y distinto cada uno, muy bella versión interpretada.
Rufus, amazing voice...and theres the child we all saw, grown and singing his Fathers fav beatles song...the Beatles were a supernatural phenomenon......
+Hilary Zuccarini I think Sean's harmony is chillingly beautiful and Moby singing the melody in his lower drone like voice sounds like a bowed bass underneath the higher melody Rufus does. .
Rufus did the cover of this song for the I Am Sam soundtrack and it absolutely gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I love this song coupled with his voice
You know something is strange with the world around you when you are singing this song aloud and people start laughing at you. Fascinating world we live in.
Oh , my god !!!!! That is absolutely gorgeous . This is the only cover of this beautiful song Ive ever liked . The lead singer has an amazing style of singing as well as a beautiful voice . Then the arrangement with a low voice and Shawn on high voice just kicks it out of this world . A magnificent interpretation of Johns most beautiful poem : "words are flowing out , like endless rain into a paper cup" !!! Wish John had been in the audience (maybe he was) !
I love this. Rufus Wainwright has an incredibly distinctive voice. They all do. All of them together are really interesting and fantastic. And I see so much of John Lennon in his son!
I ms my uncle who passed away 2 years ago we jammin to this and all Beatles Songs on our Beatles Songbook. God speed! Until we see you again Across The Universe!
Wainwright has such a distinctive voice and it’s used as a wonder here,so pure
He looks like Jim Morrison!
Rufus fully opened up and let the music pour through him. The song deserves nothing less
Love Rufus
Rufus sings like an angel. Who agrees?
Cindy Holmes agreed 6 years later 😭
yes, but it's rear-wheel drive

exactly.
Timliu92 mm i always skip the Rufus part in the beginning.. i know
nuthin' a little autotune couldn't fix (sarcasm)
In other words, perfect !!!
I was going to comment but, you said it perfectly. The imperfections of this make it all the more beautiful.
When Sean stepped up to the mic....💜😭😭💜
at first i wasn't really into their styles , but about halfway i started to realise that all their different voices and rawness of the song was really imperfectly perfect, if you know what i mean
i thought the same thing!
ĵohn ĺenoñ across the. univers1
veni vidi vici definitely agree withe you mate you start to hear the three different tones coming through
Seems fitting. Since the song itself is also imperfectly perfect. 😊
Same here!
this is the best version of this song I've heard since the original.....honestly imperfect.
we agree !
John Lennon would have loved it..
Have you ever heard kurt kobain in this song?
Not with Rufus .. I have heard much better
@@paolopastorelli7851 he did a great cover much better than this

This is my "I'm stressed out and I need a break" song and I sit and cry and then just sing.
Rufus has such an amazing voice!
Atomic Hive 🤘🏻
Consider his origin.
I don't know his origin.
@@atomichive Two of these three guys have famous fathers.
I Sean Lennon does but who is Rufus father?
Favorite take of this gem. So overlooked too.
Another Lennon masterpiece that is not easy to sing. No one will ever get close to John on this one, but they've honored him nicely. I watched this live and was absolutely stunned at Sean's talent. His Dad made playing and singing these songs look easy. It wasn't.
David Bowie actually did it better than the Beatles.
🔰
Rufus Wainwright's version is much better than John's in my view.
@@tubeyou89119
Nah, it has the same bubblegum quality as Fiona Apple’s version.
I've rarely heard a performance where a band has loved a song as much as these three do. They're almost reverent. Their stripped-down performance lets a beautifully simple song shine through. Wonderful.
I like this version very much...anything Rufus wainwright does is going to be excellent. I am enthralled with his body of work.
This is all rather new to me...I have been following "the yellow brick road" looking for Rufus (I think he'd enjoy that allusion) and what I have found is others who appreciate him. Good stuff....
Ajm STEFAN. Beautiful song.
Wow...Really love this version. Great cover of a timeless classic. They sure don't make em today like they used to. RIP John and George
we . agree . !- ta
it's a joy to see Sean as a living testament to his dad's talent. the resemblance is striking.
What a fucking brilliant song....
Absolutely
I love Moby’s baritone
So so beautiful, so poignant, and a fitting tribute to John Lennon 🙏🏻💖
Something in my eyes...can't stop watering...

Love this version too. Love Rufus, Moby and Sean. Imperfections and all!
This song...one of the most "beautiful songs ever composed"...John Lennon...you wrote so many " masterpieces" this one is one of your finest!
Rufus tone is amazing in this song
Right!
Totally agree!!
Janis Janson habla en español pendejo
Luis London His tone? If you like bag pipes for their tone.
👌👌👌👌👌
Rufus sings so effortless. Like he just opens his mouth and there it is. love him so
Just stumbled upon this today October 9, 2019. Tears

See you in 10 years and 50 weeks.

This is one of my favorite songs of John Lennon. Love the melody and wonderful words the feel and the meaning of the song

Sheer poetry. Shined in 68 and still does.
The longing of John its in Sean's eyes. But its in our hearts too, Sean😢
“Nothings gonna change my world….”
Have to give it to Lennon, he had such an emotional connection with words
Beautiful song. Beatles forever. czcams.com/video/ZPT0NQ7mc1o/video.html

This song has been a favorite of mine for over 40 yrs. This cover brought some serious tears streaming!
John said that lyrically this is the greatest song he has ever written.
I fell in love with Rufus' voice and the way he sings when I heard him sing this song for the first time. Such a clean, pure voice.
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva OM
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai Guru Deva OM
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on, across the universe

slade Kayastha Thank you! Perfect! 🙏👌👏
Gracias no conocía la letra 🙋
la combinación de voces de Rufus y Moby es espectacular,un gran contraste entre graves y agudos,genial!
Jhonny Neri verdad que sí me hubiera gustado que el hijo de Lennon aportará más que no solo tocará la guitarra y cantará en muy pocas partes
Tienes toda la razón, el contraste que le da es espectacular. En realidad las 3 voces en el coro le dan un tono sublime y distinto cada uno, muy bella versión interpretada.
I have heard so many versions of this beautiful song. This may be my favorite, and I am not even sure why.
Rufus, amazing voice...and theres the child we all saw, grown and singing his Fathers fav beatles song...the Beatles were a supernatural phenomenon......
rufus,s voice is amazing a pleasure to behold.
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. John would approve 👌
He would not
I could watch this a hundred times a day and never get tired of it.
I think Moby and Sean really add something special to it.
+Hilary Zuccarini I think Sean's harmony is chillingly beautiful and Moby singing the melody in his lower drone like voice sounds like a bowed bass underneath the higher melody Rufus does. .

Frank Rizzo hey Jerky Boy what's shakin? Long time no hear from you.
excellent analysis !!!!!!!!
Yeah because Sean sounds just like John in this one. I wanna hear him sing this solo some day
This song always brings a tear to my eye
Perfect imperfections... Superbly lovely!! Fell in love with this song again!!
Perfect in its frequency and vibration.
Beautiful song. Beatles forever. czcams.com/video/ZPT0NQ7mc1o/video.html
The collected musicality within these three men at the same time... just stunning.
They all are great singers and they did their part. I liked their performances and their contributions as it added an unusual layering.
mi versión favorita de todas las versiones de todos los tiempos me encanta Rufus y Moby y Sean
I like this literal translation of the chant. "Glory to the shining remover of darkness."
2023 Non stop super love talent !
Rufus was amazing in this boy as well. I really heard the harmony in that song.
Heartbreakingly beautiful!
One of me favorite performances

He mark respiration each time in need it but it takes back really quick is breath
