His haunting rendition has viewers describing it as a soul-stirring, nearly spiritual encounter.

“This proves that music is food for the soul,” one listener commented, adding, “I didn’t hear that song…I felt it.”

Another shared, “This is as close to a spiritual experience as music can take you. If this doesn’t light your world on fire, we are cut from two different molds.”

The impact was so profound that one viewer shared how the performance moved them to step outside. "This song literally made me go outside and just listen to it as I looked up at the stars... my soul just took a deep breath. Love you forever Dad."
