This is the first time I saw this video. Poor Avi the show must go on even though he was sick. I Love this slow version of this song. The one that he sang in Paris was really NICE. But he tried his best to perform even though he was sick, so the people who came will not be disappointed. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Dear Bine, do you know if Avi's mother has a Instagram profile , she reached out to me to connect to Avi personally. I'm thinking it is a scam and i don't know who to ask if this real.
So fun! I just love Avi's voice so much. He has the ability to put his heart and soul into his singing so you don't just hear the music, you feel the music.
Ich mochte diesen Song auf Anhieb, schon dieses Vorspiel hat mir Gänsehaut bereitet. Ich genieße jeden Auftritt und danke Dir von Herzen für die Omaha-Version🤗❣
For playing the chords, I believe he has tuned his entire guitar three steps down to C#, so starting with the chord shape of Em (which translates to C#m with the tuning). Thence Avi plays (Verse) Em, C alternating followed by D, G, C twice then (Chorus) Am, G, D until verse again. Also I don't believe he uses his little finger at any point, so factor that into the G chord. For those on piano, simply it goes (I think) (Verse) C#m, A, (twice) then B, E, A (twice) leading to (Chorus) F#m, E, B. You can of course use the guitar chords above as an alternative on piano too, for a bit lower on the vocals. With piano you can play with inversions, for F#m7 it's basically an A chord in the right hand with a F# in the left bass, C#m7 same but E chord in right, C# in left bass. Minor 7 chords (a dominant 7th chord with a flattened third) will make it sound smoother or jazzier, whilst straight minor chords can sound purer for the folk feel.
Colorado Cheyenne mountain, Lay your shadow on me Wrap me tightly, Pull me into your leaves. Yeah the aspen will wave, And the river will sing As the clouds open up, On the valley beneath. Oh, Colorado Open your loving arms to me. Won't you take in this stranger? Oh Colorado, can't you see? You feel like home You feel like home You feel like home. Yeah that mountain high, Makes me never want to leave (But) by tomorrow, I'll come down to Tennessee I've planted my roots, But my heart wants to roam I'm torn between places My heart (Your heights) and my home. Oh, Colorado Open your loving arms to me. Won't you take in this stranger? Oh Colorado, can't you see? You feel like home You feel like home You feel like home. (Vocal harmony alone) Oh, Colorado Open your loving arms to me. Won't you take in this stranger? Oh Colorado, can't you see? You feel like home You feel like home You feel like home.

Just gorgeous. If he ever records this as a proper release, I'd love to hear cello (maybe KO?) in the backing, especially the chorus 'home'. But amazing :) my favourite of his songs in a long while.
I saw Avi in Salt Lake City….. I always liked him and his music but going to this concert made me a HUGE FAN! It was by far THE BEST CONCERT I’ve ever been to……. The sound was amazing the vibe was even better….. I am a solid fan for sure!!!! Love you AVI💚💚💚
