  1. C.... T....

    Laughed for a long time. Who tries to take credit for a Joni Mitchell song. You did a beautiful cover. Thank you. I used to sing all her songs on open mic night at dirty nellies west Irish pub in palatine, Illinois, USA. Such fun memories.

  2. H.... H....

    I’m not buying it...he is missing something for me...Joni made you believe

  3. M.... L....

    Love this song! The melody and lyrics are so beautiful and everyone I’ve heard cover it does a great job. Joni Mitchell is an icon.❤️❤️

  4. G.... B....

    Incredible song beautifully rendered - pianist needs to tone it down a notch - just a bit too student at times.

  5. C.... S....

    Beautiful song, beautifully sung! Love it to bits.

  6. d.... b....

    would someone please acknowledge the original author of "River"

    d.... b....

    Joni Mitchell is the autor

    d.... b....

    He literally says it’s a Joni Mitchell song in the video.

  7. T.... D....

    Fran does an amazing job on this Joni tune !!

  10. M.... Z....

    Fran's voice is amazing...

  11. M.... C....

    Go to Ben Platt to her the latest version,. I am a huge Platt fan but this version by Travis is the way the song was meant to be sung. Platt is very good but he's a belter, Love this.

  12. j.... j....

    I'm sure Joni would appreciate your version.

  13. D.... L....

    Pathetic cover..💩...😡👎🏻

  14. C.... P....

    amazing.

  15. P.... Y....

    Brought tears to my eyes. Beautifully done. Thanks.

  16. H.... N....

    North American accent ON, ON, ON... Lovely rendition. I actually loved this song before I knew it was a cover. Good shit!

  17. R.... B....

    Very could rendition of this great song with root!!!!!1 Great job,if it a song make's me emotional .It did it's job.Peace to all,rebcargo

  18. C.... M....

    except it's actually a Tom Rush song , sung by Joni.
    This is a beautiful version of River though x

    C.... M....

    Clare Mccarron wrong. She wrote it.

    C.... M....

    Very wrong. She wrote it.

    C.... M....

    Tom Rush wrote a song called River song. A totally different song?

    C.... M....

    @Dode Blakley yes

  19. P.... ....

    'River' is the true story of a feeling and thus the perfect cover.

  20. T.... ....

    this has to be the best cover i have heard, it brings tears to my eyes!

  21. B.... C....

    Now that is really beautiful.

  22. D.... ....

    Fantastic version!!

  23. P.... L....

    Best version

  24. m.... m....

    Beautiful!

  25. D.... D....

    This song and this version of the song means so much to me and my family, it brings tears of joy to me every single time I listen to it, love love love xxx

  26. M.... B....

    Amazing voice

  27. M.... B....

    so many covers...but Jonl's original is by far the most emotional..and Joni's voice is spectacular...almost as good as her songwriting...top 10 ever..

  28. J.... P....

    Jeremy Procter

  29. R.... M....

    fran could sing the phone book & make it sound beautiful a perfect cover even better than joni's

    R.... M....

    Oh stop don't say that it í even better than Joni, that's ironic even tho I love this performance very very much.

    R.... M....

    Actually I cried a lot listen to this version, just as much as when I listen to Joni's. But I don't like it when people compare cover the the original that way.

  30. A.... G....

    Good version

  31. J.... P....

    Wow, what a beautiful cover.

  32. k.... ....

    nice cover

  33. M.... R....

    This guys falsetto is off the hook! The best live version of this tune I've heard.

  34. s.... ....

    As Arjun has said, wonderful to hear those fluttering high notes Joni was known for (at least in my mind). Really nice work

  35. A.... L....

    Beautiful job. I had to hear how a bloke would handle those soaring upper notes but you did it. I love singing but I'm fifty nine and could not hit those upper notes today. Awestruck. Well done!

    A.... L....

    Have you heard the Ben Platt version?

  36. r.... p....

    Great cover, fae the a great Glesga band! Thank God it never snows in Scotland😜

  37. J.... S....

    I agree with all the wonderful comments already made here, for this amazing cover by Fran. It's a truly wonderful song, written by one of the all time great singer songwriters and I always love listening to it, but I have to express my bewilderment at the 13 dickheads who gave this the thumbs down. Absolutely incredible.

  38. C.... -....

    The piano is great. Regarding the voice - I can't help but miss Mitchell's voice. A cool cover nevertheless...

  39. N.... F....

    lovely cover

  40. m.... ....

    late to the party. brilliant work. thank you for the song and thanks to whoever posted it.

    Song always makes me think of a girl -- she was as perfect as chaos and as beautiful as snow.

    m.... ....

    +mr7wi you must be a poet, writing like that

    m.... ....

    +deino117 Thanks - but no, I'm not by any stretch - although I wish I was.

  41. n.... N....

    There's something about this clip I found to be very real and honest and warm, in the storytelling and the feeling behind the voice. And the song itself, I still think was written by a beautiful loving woman with so much to say about loss and love.

    n.... N....

    +nixie NICLA makes me think of a girl, I knew.

  42. J.... I....

    Beautiful song Fran's voice is wonderful as always :)

  43. N.... ....

    Just beautiful!
    What is the Joni Mitchell song he is talking about, the one the teacher taught him? I can't make out the title, but I imagine the teacher changed it anyway. Thanks.

    N.... ....

    @NPSpirit The song of Joni Mitchell is called Urge for Going, first made known by Tom Rush. Joni Mitchell's later issued her own version but Tom Rush's is better known. Both are on Youtube.

  44. g.... ....

    This is a wonderful song.  I think my favourite version is the one Blue Rodeo came out with for this past Christmas.  Check it out.

  45. M.... L....

    the very beginning is jingle bells.

  46. a.... ....

    He sounds fantastic. Gives me chills.

  49. J.... B....

    What the hell is up with these show - length ads? I don't want to watch you cooking for 30 minutes. I want to hear this song.

    J.... B....

    Get Adblock. You'll never have to hear another again.

  50. M.... F....

    very nice :)

  51. J.... B....

    Joni saved my life. Several times over. And let me say, THIS is an awesome cover. The boy's an angel...

    J.... B....

    Joni saved me, too.

  52. M.... A....

    MAGNIFICENT 

  53. K.... L....

    This video accompanied me for many many late, lonely working nights. The singing was good, actually great. But I just love how Fran told his story, warmed my heart somehow... don't know why, thanks anyway :)

    K.... L....

    same here, he has a really nice talking voice too

  54. b.... t....

    W.... W....

    @Michael Ayden Hello Michael, I appreciate that when it comes to music that we all like different things, B U T, when it comes to this particular song MARTI PELLOWS version of this particular song COMPLETELY blows the original version out of the water, so i'm afraid, as much as i like fran and the boys from travis
    there is no comparison, give MARTI'S version a listen, i am SURE you will agree : 0 )

    W.... W....

    Thank god for small favors.

  56. m.... ....

    Legendary

  57. R.... ....

    Although this is a really great version of the song, my favourite is Sarah McLachlan's version.

  58. 1.... ....

    I adore this track - this is a great cover, well done Fran.

  59. R.... W....

    This version always makes me cry x

    I love Joni and this song is something very special. Well done man. Your cover is the best I've ever heard. Fantastic job!! Thank you.

  61. C.... G....

    In all my born day, I've never heard a guy sing this song.... Travis does it quite well, too...

    C.... G....

    Robert Downey Jr does a beautiful moving version of this song too.

  62. M.... ....

  70. D.... R....

    I love this version.

  71. M.... P....

    Your reply is as pathetic (and unoriginal) as your first post. Are you old enough to leave your momma's basement yet?

  72. M.... P....

    Well, you dont have to go around telling the world that you do...not that there's anything wrong with that.

  73. T.... H....

    Thank You...! x)

  74. S.... T....

    i wanna kiss you Fran!

  75. L.... V....

    its a great song ,and Travis definitely paints beautiful images with his voice.

  76. O.... ....

    Bravo! Second performance I've heard of this song by artists other than Joni. A fine performance that evokes the same reverie as the original.

  77. A.... S....

    best !!!!

  78. R.... P....

    What was the name of the Joni Mitchell song he talks about in the beginning?

  79. s.... ....


    Pronto será navidad
    Están cortando los árboles
    Están construyendo trineos
    Y cantando canciones
    De gozo y paz
    Desearía tener un río,
    Podría patinar lejos sobre el

    Ahora no neva aquí
    Permanece un hermoso verdor
    Yo haré una fuente de dinero
    Y saldré de este loco ambiente
    Desearía tener un río,
    Podría patinar lejos sobre el

    Desearía tener un río tan largo
    Enseñaría a mis pies a volaaaar....oh,
    Desearía tener un río,
    Podría patinar lejos sobre el...

    Hice llorar a mi chica..

  80. K.... F....

  81. J.... ....
