If You Could Read My Mind - Cover

My humble tribute to Mr Gordon Lightfoot 

Comments

I have been dreaming about Hank Covering Time in a Bottle for a very, very long time… 😅😅😍😍

Sarah

Not sure how I missed this, but it was beautiful. Your playing is always such a treat to listen to, and this was really soothing 😌 Thank you for sharing it 💛

Heidi

Thank you Rachelle :)

Hank Miller

Hi Hank!!!❤️ I love this song. You played it beautifully! Would you ever play A time in a bottle? It is always a treat when you play your Guitars! Thank you! This is out there but if you have a girlfriend, she is so so Lucky!!!🤗❤️

Rachelle

Thank you so much! :)

Hank Miller

I’m new to your Patreon and admittedly doing a bit of catching up on all your talents, but this was so lovely and moving. I can’t wait to discover more. Thank you for sharing. 🥰

Just beautiful!

Hank… this is really, really beautiful. 😍🥰🫠 What a wonderful tribute to him. Such a gorgeous rendition of a beautiful song. I listened to this as soon as you posted it, & have several times since, but struggled to put any kind of appreciation into words. This is a great cover because it does the original SO much justice, but, it’s still totally you. I can hear *you* in your playing. That’s special. 😊 not everybody can achieve that. Señorita’s singing was gorgeous alongside the Epi Acoustic. I’m sure that I’ll listen to this just as often as your other beautiful covers. Both your original music & your covers are so amazing and I’m grateful whenever you share them with us. I’m sure that Mr. Lightfoot is very proud. As ever & always, thank you, Hank. 💕

Hank Miller

Oohhh wow, this was really beautiful. I listened to it during my lunche brake. Today it´s my personal ´Fuckin´ Day´, but this 4 minuts gave me some needed peace to take some deep breaths and to relax. Thank you for sharing! ❤️🎵😊

Becca

Please re-record this and video yourself playing this song. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see you play this. PLEASE!

Sweet Phantasy

What a beautiful rendition! Thank you so much for sharing this emotional tribute. Truly, your heart is in your music.

Sweet Phantasy

I needed this for the tough times I’ve been having recently, thank you Hank. Truly a delightful tune.

VintageTrippin

What a Canadian icon . You certainly give it justice Mr. Miller . Is he a hero of yours ?

sandra fraser

Hooooly cow the emotions. From one musician to another, the emotion and soulfulness you put into your playing is absolutely beautiful. Music isn’t black dots on a page, but rather the storytelling of emotional experiences. Absolutely breathtaking. Such a beautiful tribute to such a wonderful musician.❤️

Emily

I don't think there could be a better tribute or more heartfelt rendition of this song. It is played with emotion and soul. The plucking sound of the strings adds the personal feel that is so often removed in songs. Acoustic songs move me because the raw sound raises the song (whether full song or improv) to a different level. You can hear the feeling in the playing and that is what makes it so special. This is a beautiful tribute and I'm certain he is proud, listening in the great beyond. ♥️

Nancy

Simply gorgeous...I've got goosebumps and tears in my eyes.😥 Thank you for putting this treasure into the world.❤️

jan

What a beautifully done song

Katie Hughes

I swear I see you strumming your guitar when I close my eyes 🎸 ❤️

Amanda

A thoughtful and fitting tribute to a fellow musician. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🎵

Bee

Wow 👏🏼 beautiful 💖

Nath97

This was so beautiful and calming 🥰❤️ I can totally hear your love for music in your playing, and it’s really relaxing 😌 I kinda want a playlist of all your covers to listen to when I’m studying or falling asleep 🥰 Thank you, Hank! 🥹❤️

It was the last thing I listened to and thought about before falling asleep yesterday. It’s heart-warming, felt like a hug. Beautiful, Hank. Bravo!

Amanda

When doing a completely acoustic version of a song that originally has vocals, it’s easy to fall into the musak swamp type trap. You don’t do that, Hank. I have always believed that the key to avoid creating a cover that is unbearably sugary sweet (go to the nearest lux hotel lobby where there’s someone “entertaining” the guests on a grand piano and you’ll understand what I mean) is to like the song enough to throw a little pain and roughness into the mix. You do that here, Hank, in the way you use the lower end strings on both guitars. In life, nothing is 100 % beautiful, not even love (maybe especially not love). The harmonies and the melody of If you could read my mind is pretty in itself. What it needs to be exquisite - in my opinion - is darkness and you gave it just that. You can hear that you like this song beyond it just being a pretty song and that you wanted to treat it the way it deserves to be treated. Lightfoot knew his shit and so do you. Well done.

Helena

A truly, truly beautiful tribute, Hank. I was completely lost in it and tears were shed. Very moving. Very special. Thank you so so much for sharing. 🧡

Spooky Lyns (Lynsey)

Wow! That was so beautiful and you’re guitar playing was amazing 🥰🐺🖤❤️ I was waiting to hear you sing 🤗

Glass Fire

Same with Ilka, my work day has just started and it’s already crazy…literally it’s like “this f*cking day!” Glad I stopped and listened to this. Thank you so much! It means a lot and it’s really beautiful. ❤️ ps: I was waiting for you to sing though! 😊

Fizzywoo

Hank! This is so beautiful! It's a really stressful day at work, but I took the 5 Minutes to listen to this ... the stress melted away and I calmed down. Thank you for this, for reminding me what is important and what is not.

Ilka

Thank you! :)

Hank Miller

Oh my god!! Words cannot express how much I love this!! 🫠🫠🫠🫠 There’s something so special about fingerstyle guitar to me, and your rendition gave me goosebumps all over. Thank you, Hank! ❤️ And the duo of the Epi Acoustic and Señorita is just perfect! 😍
