Acoustic covers and originals by Sam Smith MCR. 5 videos a week across a wide range of genres. Buy me a coffee here buymeacoffee.com/samsmithmcr
From Manchester, England, I share covers of various songs I love, some of them my own but most are covers from the likes of Pearl Jam, The Clash, Alice in Chains, Bruce Springsteen and more. I've been on the Manchester music scene since 2005 in lots of bands but most notably my old punk band Sam Smith & Company which was sadly disbanded due to the unfortunate sudden emergence of someone else who shares my birth name.
I now front Death or Glory - Tribute to the Clash as "Joe Strummer", continue to write and record with The Parish Church Fire and indulge myself by recording versions of my favourite songs in my spare time which is what you will find here.
Find me on all socials and streaming platforms as "Sam Smith & Company", "The Parish Church Fire" & "Death or Glory"

Pearl Jam - Soon Forget [Ukulele Cover]
My ukulele version of Pearl Jam's Soon Forget from Binaural, one of the most under rated albums of all time.
I am taking a short break from posting 5-weekly videos now and wanted to sign off as one of my favourite albums does. See you in the autumn, adios.

Pearl Jam - Release [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 242Месяц назад
Release by Pearl Jam from their eponymous debut album Ten. Whenever I see Pearl Jam open the show with this song, I know I'm in for a perfect night and that was exactly what happened in Dublin last month. I'd planned on recording this at the end of the tour anyway, but to get it straight off the bat was incredibly special and serene. In 2018 I saw Pearl Jam over 2 nights in Amsterdam. On the se...
Pearl Jam - Off He Goes [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 201Месяц назад
Off He Goes by Pearl Jam from No Code, the best song on the album in my opinion and a song I’ve wanted to cover for a very long time. This song simply reminds me of myself and that’s why I love it. I finally got to see this live in Barcelona earlier this month and I still can’t quite get over how good it was. I’ve seen a lot of live music in my time, and I’ve seen Pearl Jam more than most but s...
Pearl Jam - Garden [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 268Месяц назад
My acoustic version of Garden by Pearl Jam from Ten. This cover is a bit of an Everest for me and I can’t tell you how pleased I am to finally be in a position to share it. I’ve tried it sporadically over the last year and it’s never been quite right so I’ve never posted it. There was even a time in February of this year where I did a really good version of it that I was happy with, but I forgo...
Pearl Jam - Nothingman [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 57Месяц назад
Nothing man by Pearl Jam from the amazing Vitalogy album. I finally got this live in Manchester last month after wanting it for years. Then, two weeks later in Barcelona I got it again! When I got back from Spain, this was the first song I recorded in celebration. Pearl Jam have written many masterpieces in their time but this is bonafide. Again, the vocal performance makes this song for me. I ...
Eddie Vedder - Society [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 111Месяц назад
My acoustic cover of Society by Eddie Vedder from the beautiful ‘Into the Wild’ soundtrack. I absolutely love that album but sadly never been a big fan of the film. The only thing I like about it really is the amazing narrative from Eddie via song. That aside, without the film we wouldn’t have the album so I’m very grateful for that. Thank you for watching Check out my original material at open...
Pearl Jam - Smile [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 187Месяц назад
My acoustic cover of Smile by Pearl Jam from No Code This is a song I never skip and always turn up. I’ve had it live a few times but when I heard it a couple of weeks ago in Barcelona it felt different. I didn’t get No Code for a very long time but it was the first time I’d seen it live since the album clicked with me so it made me, well, smile, and it made the night all the more special. Than...
Pearl Jam - Sleeping By Myself [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 51Месяц назад
Sleeping By Myself by Pearl Jam from the Lightning Bolt LP. I almost did this on ukulele as I much prefer Eddie Vedder’s solo version on his amazing album Ukulele Songs but I’ve got other plans for that instrument next week. For now. I’m really pleased with this version and I’m glad I get to share it with you all. I simply adore this song, the lyrics are very relatable, absolutely beautiful and...
Pearl Jam - Hail Hail [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 109Месяц назад
Hail, Hail by Pearl Jam from their amazing album No Code. I’ve covered a lot from now cold recently, and there is more to come next week but this is one of the I’ve wanted to do acoustically for a very long time but I’ve always struggled to get it right. You’ll see this video towards the end I actually botched the Outro slightly, but I was that happy with the rest of it that I’ve decided to jus...
Pearl Jam - Dont Gimmie No Lip [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 73Месяц назад
My acoustic version of Don’t Gimme Me No Lip, from the second disc of Lost Dogs. This is almost certainly a song about sharing a joint with someone, but this song reminds me of my nephew. Not only does he love this song and he loves singing it, I love singing him when he is (as we say in the North of England) “giving me lip”. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this live once, which was very unexpe...
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 797Месяц назад
Last Kiss by Wayne Cochran, in the style of Pearl Jam. I know this song divides many people in the Pearl Jam community, but I absolutely love it. The Wayne Cochran original is a really unique song that I love, and I reckon it probably inspired on the highway by Bruce Springsteen, and maybe a couple of others from Nebraska. It’s a wonderful song. Pearl Jam’s version is of course a favourite of m...
Pearl Jam - Setting Sun [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 138Месяц назад
My acoustic cover of Setting Sun by Pearl Jam, the perfect end to their amazing new album Dark Matter. When the album came out, within the first week I covered some of my favourites from the album, but I deliberately left this one out because I wanted to hear it live before I formed opinion on it. I also wanted to get it right. I absolutely love this song, and the whole album, but I had a feeli...
Pearl Jam - Retrograde [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 81Месяц назад
My acoustic cover of Retrograde by Pearl Jam from the very underrated record, Gigaton. This song is an absolute classic, and it’s not even the best song on the album which speaks volumes for how highly I hold the album in my regard. I honestly do not get the hate for it at all. Songs like this are case in point. What a song, and one I’ve thankfully had the pleasure of seeing live just once, in...
Pearl Jam - Sirens [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 181Месяц назад
My acoustic cover of Sirens by Pearl Jam from the lightning bolt album. I’ve wanted to cover this for years, but I’ve always found it quite difficult to sing. I’m in good flow at the moment though as I’m sure you can sell and I’ve managed to takeoff quite a few of the more difficult ones that I’ve wanted to do for sometime. This is probably my top five Pearl Jam songs, it’s such a great pop son...

You are a legend. someone hug you. not sure why they ain’t playing this one more on the tour. Prolly Ed being unselfish. bravo
Aw thank you. It’s driving me mad that they’re not playing it. Just that one time in Vancouver. I got every other song on the album during the tour this year too so now I need it to complete. It’s the best song on the album, I love it
Absolute prick
Sam your content is amazing. It beats anything ive heard for a long time with a big stick. Keep it up, I love your vibe. Kind regards. Paul.
Ah thank you Paul. All the best mate
Hey Sam that sounds amazing. Kind regards. Paul.
Wow this is really good!!
Thank you! One of my favourite songs of all time
Awesome job on an awesome song! Hands down my favorite on the new album. I definitely hear Petty's "Learning to Fly" toward the end in the outro.
Yeah I agree, huge Petty vibes. Got to Give us my favourite from the album but this is close second. Or maybe Setting Sun, or Won’t Tell. Man it’s just soo good
Can you do Anthem by Greta Van Fleet? <3
nicely done. I'm not super into Mastodon but I love that song for its unusual vocals and arrangement. The lyrics are sort of sweet and sad, but when they're set to Metal it's unexpectedly moving.
I adore this song mate, thank you for your comment there. I love the arrangement and the vocals as you’ve said but also the message in the lyrics. Crack the Skye is probably my favourite metal album of all time because of its lyrics and musical themes and what a better way to start than with Oblivion. What a band
Niceee cover
Thank you!
It's nice but why did you change that much the melody of the chorus ?
Because the song was less than 24 hours from release when I recorded it so I was still learning it
congrats!
Thank you Erich!
I just discovered you with Folsom prison. I love Johnny cash songs and you made really good cover of it, congratulations!!!
Cheers Hugo. I have a playlist with all of my Cash covers in, I’m a huge fan and he’s a massive inspiration to me.
Muito bom, top essa musica valeu amigo , parabéns perfeito !!
Thank you Adrian!
Sounds great 👍 👌
Cheers Lewis. Such a top tune, one of my favourites
I think that's the best cover I've ever heard
Oh wow high praise indeed, thank you!
Nice Job Sam (!) You Put Alot Of Your Talents. In That Good Job .. A Beautiful Song. 😊
Cheers Rob. Had to get this one out, it’s too good and means so much to me personally
Hey there Sam, I gotta to say mate your rendition of these songs on your channel are fantastic. Amazing work 🤩 Oh yeah and I heard your the lead frontman Joe Strummer of The Clash in your tribute band "Death Or Glory" that's even more impressive because I am a massive fan of The Clash and have been for roughly a decade now. The Clash are probably my favourite band of all time, love their albums, love their songs and absolutely idiolized Joe Strummer as a kid and I believe I still do. I would love to see your tribute band live. Are you guys planning on coming to Norwich, UK at some point?
Ah man I’d love for us to come out to Norwich! Just need a promoter to get us over there and we can make it work. Just keep an eye on our socials and hopefully something will happen soon. We’ve got some huge bookings for 2025 so I’m hoping the spotlight will bring new bookings in places we’ve never been to.
@@SamSmithMCR wow mate. I’ll definitely keep an eye out on my socials. I’m sure we’d absolutely love you guys to perform in Norwich. We hope it happens 👍🎶🎸
Nicely performed. But what's wrong with the sound of the guitar? Is this normal or just a matter of too much gain or low battery? I am looking around for a short scale guitar but if this model sounds like that on stage I won't consider buying it.
I’ve driven the preamp a little (it’s a Focusrite Clarett 8pre and I like it like that sometimes. I’ve been considering doing some videos on my guitars and probably will in the not too distant future so look out for those maybe. It’s a beautiful guitar, I thought it because I’m a Joe Strummer tribute artist and it knocked me for six. Didn’t expect to fall in love with it but I did. I’d definitely recommend it.
Best song from the new album. Recently i've passed an awful time healing myself from a teeth extraction and this song helped me a lot 😂😂😂. Played this every night before going to bed.
Ah no that sounds horrible! My favourite from the album is Got To Give but I love this song so much. Seeing it live this summer took it to new heights for me. I think it’s possibly in my top 10 Pearl Jam songs all time
Finally after long time❤
Thank you! I had to get this one out, it means too much to me
So Cool!!
Thank you! It’s mad, I’ve posted close to 300 covers and this is possibly my favourite yet it didn’t land at all. So glad someone has commented saying they enjoy it, nice one
Class dude😊
@@nick6660 cheers Nick!

Muchos gracias Jose aqi en Manchester
Excellent
Thank you mate
I used to sing this in class growing up.
Wow thats a cool school!
@@SamSmithMCR It really was. Unfortunately it shut down 23 years ago. The teacher inspired more than half the class to learn guitar.
Great version of an underrated song🤘
Certainly is under rated! We named our tribute band after it. Here I am performing it full band ruclips.net/video/2yX1VXFnwdQ/видео.html
@@SamSmithMCR thanks for that 🤘
Great job , Sam Beautiful 😮
Thank you mate!

@@SamSmithMCR hey, thanks so much for answering. I found the full version soon after and listened it on repeat about an hour straight after. Good stuff!
…you have some voice
Thank you Brian. Really appreciate that
Great cover , great song
Thank you! Took me a while to fall in love with this song after Dark Matter came out because there is so much quality in the album but when I fell, I fell hard. What a song.
Excelente cover, por cierto
Gracias
This guy puts lots of heart in all his songs
Nick Cave is such a powerful singer, it’s an honour to sing his songs. Thank you for listening
Excelente interpretación, my friend.
Gracias amigo
F'N AWESOME 💯
Thank you!
Hell yes! 💯
Nice job, dude! Ending was 🔥
Thank you for listening and sticking around to the end! Love this song so much
Excellent 👍
Wow nice voice, Creating from Indonesia ☕
Wonderful pal. Such a brilliant song. I don’t get the hate for Gigaton
Bizarre isn’t it? Not gonna let a bunch of gatekeepers spoil the party tho. Superb record
YES !!!
Thank you. I love this song so much. Adding it to my live set next month so can hopefully share a live version soon
Nice song choice. It showcases your vocal range well.
Cheers Nick. Pearl Jam’s forgotten masterpiece. One of their strongest singles ever
Making a comment for the algorithm. Awesome cover, hope this gets more views.
Hey, thanks!
Nice .! Good Bro 👍
Cheers mate!
Another classic. Can’t go wrong with PJ. Superb effort pal
Very nice, you rock!
