Nov 5, 2009 - both of them played it great but i must say dave sings it alot better...

Nov 6, 2009 - Willie Nelson does it so much better. Saying dave sings this song better is like saying G.W. Bush was a better pres. than Abe Lincoln. i give dave props for the lyrics but....

Nov 6, 2009 - How can you say Willie Nelson's is better. His voice? Dave puts a lot more emotion into this song than Willie does, and has way more power behind his voice than Willie. I take the song a lot more seriously when Dave is singing it.

Nov 7, 2009 - Dave Matthews puts more emotion in his version and cries out, but it really doesn't fit the mood. Willie Nelson doesn't show any emotion and is so plain and boring, but sorta sets the mood of the song, to be a depressing, low song. I do like the original better though, but both are good.

Nov 8, 2009 - Willie's version is more poignant because, let's face it, he is a lot closer to the grave than Dave Matthews is...when he speaks to the gravedigger it is without fear, as if to a friend...he is resigned to fate. The song is wonderful, but I feel it rings truer coming from Willie, whether he sang it better or not...he always has a way of making a song feel so natural, as if he were telling a story he has told all his life...he is a storyteller, and that's why I connect with his better.

Nov 9, 2009 - this songs need the voice like Willie's and it doens't need no emotions... emotions is what makes pop music pop... this song should be depresing, and it is when willie sings it...

kingtonyx Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - This is a good song and you can tell it means a lot to Willie. Only thing that bothers me about it is that the whole premise is awfully close to Johnny Cash doing "Hurt". It just seems so strange, like someone planning their own funeral or something.

Nov 9, 2009 - Wiilie sets the mood better I think. But that's just my opinion.

Nov 10, 2009 - wow Willie's sucks compared to Dave's. no doubt i saw Willie and Dave play this together live and Willie sounded good then but i mean this video he is so flat and has no emotion.

lbraddock44 Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - i like both of the versions, but willie would be so much better if he put as much emotion into it as dave.

Nov 10, 2009 - Wow,, Willie does a much better job on this than Dave does,,, dont get me wrong,,, Dave also does a great job of it,,,,,, But the whole song and vid, is much better

Nov 11, 2009 - i dun like willie nelson's version nearly as much as dave. just because he is older doesn't mean it means more to him than it does to dave.

reedalej Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - personally i love the person willie is lol and he does this song decently

thecopywriter84 Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - this song sounds like a story tell by an old drunk man in front of a dirty bar in the south..so it's good, altough I prefer the DMB's version.

catlyn777 Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - I am a Willie fan, but in my opinion his rendition or interpretation, and his video, does not come even close to Dave Matthews. It is such a powerful song. When I listen and watch Dave, I get chills from this song.

Nov 13, 2009 - Not Willie the groundskeeper... Willie the gravedigger...

metiron77 Says:

91FroSt91 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Willie Nelson is a great artist and a great man ... but the way he performed the song was more country like .... it wasn't as dark or as powerful and intense as Dave's version ... However they both are truly amazing ... and they deserve all the credit they are getting... if not even more.
