This rendition of this song encapsulates my almost 36 years with the complicated love of my life. I miss him so well.

Never thought this song would work as a male duet without becoming a cliché. You seemed to have felt the words, or just acted perfectly and made the song your own. Especially changing the melody bow towards the end and rise your voice. That was excellent. Truly beautiful.
Very good job! I do think the one on the left did a bit too much "oversinging" (for lack of a better word), but the voices work well together and you guys nailed that high note!
Thank-you both so much for that! SO beautiful! I chuckled at some of the comments - ok, and a couple eye-rolls LOL I am not an expert on vocal technique, I simply know what moves me. And I have been :making the rounds" with different renditions. The first one I found - just recently - was John Barrowman and Daniel Boys. I had never heard this song. And now I am (not every day) fully into the I Know Him Well rabbit hole! LOL I am so grateful that we can hear different versions that are unique and wonderful! Thanks for adding YOURS! Take care guys - best wishes!! tg
Nothing is so good it last eternally Perfect situations must go wrong But this has never yet prevented me Wanting far too much for far too long Looking back I could have played it differently Won a few more moments Who can tell? But it took time to understand the man Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? oh So good! Wasn't he fine? oh So fine! Isn't it madness He can't be mine? But in the end he needs a little bit more than me More security He needs his fantasy and freedom. I know him so well No one in your life is with you constantly No one is completely on your side And though I move my world to be with him Still the gap between us is too wide Looking back I could have played it differently Learned about the man before I fell But I was ever so much younger then Now at least I know I know him well Wasn't it good? oh So good! Wasn't he fine? oh So fine! Isn't it madness He won't be mine? Didn't I know how it would go if I knew from the start Why am I falling apart? Wasn't it good? Wasn't he fine? Isn't it madness He won't be mine But in the end he needs a little bit more than me More security... He needs his fantasy and freedom (I know him so well...) It took time to understand him. I know him so well...
I appreciate your posting the lyrics, but you kind of messed up the second verse. Let me help here. Ryan: Looking back, I could have played things differently. Tyce: Looking back, I could I have played things some other way. Ryan: Learned about the man before I fell. Tyce: I was just a little careless, maybe. Ryan: But I was ever so much younger then. Tyce: Now at least I know him well. Ryan: Now at least Both: I know I know him well.
The best version of this version of the song was done by John Barrowman and Daniel Boys 13 years ago! This isn't new people! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8az1gFoZp4c.html
I find myself wishing that Tyce took the first verse. Better voice and better technique. Ryan sounds like he doesn't even know the song and looks like he's in pain. And not the kind of emotional pain that's supposed to accompany this song. He looks like singing causes him physical agony. Don't get me wrong. Ryan isn't terrible. He's okay, in fact. Just not the equal of his duet partner. Just by watching this video, you can see that Tyce has by far the better singing technique.
@@Tawroset I don't mean to be, it's just that I notice certain flaws in Ryan's technique. He's clearly doing placement in his throat, not his head. For instance, look how he cranes his neck at 0:45 when he sings, ". . . prevented me." Essentially, when I watch him sing, it looks like he's trying to make it look like the song's more difficult than it actually is. Like he's trying to give people the impression that he's working so hard to get this song out. And it's really not a hard song at all. For example, look at the grotesque face he makes when he sings ". . . more security" at 1:40. Compare him to a singer like Clay Aiken, who always makes the hard notes look effortless. Ryan, by contrast, tries to make the easy stuff look demanding. Compare his performances to Tyce's. Granted, Tyce is also guilty of histrionic displays of effort, but nowhere near the extreme that Ryan is. For example, at 3:20, when they both hold the note on the word, "apart." Yes, they both make it look like work, but Tyce is singing the note that Ryan is wailing it. Which is strange, because Tyce is taking the higher part. Ryan looks like he's in physical pain. Like singing is sheer torture for him.
