I've found so many great musicians this way, Tyler Childers, Benjamin Tod, Zach Bryan, mandolin orange. For some reason, once they start recording in studios, they're still great but it just never hits the same as sessions like this
To Stephen, I was a walking dead man until I heard this cover. Your voice and the sound of your guitar cut me open like a knife. Allowing me see the parts of me that has rotten/died when I lost my father and my best friend. The magic in your song freed me from the grief and loneliness that wouldn’t leave me alone. Thank you for making me feel alive again. Thank you for being who you are and thank you for singing with your heart. I hope one day I can give back to the world the same way you did. God bless you. Justin
That's some of the best poetic expression of a man's true feelings I've ever read in my life , I'm so sorry for your loss , but damn you should be a author . Thank you for sharing your feelings right here
I’m a full time musician - sitting in my car here in Austin Texas. I am crying so hard, something about this touched my past, it went back and brought back memories of my childhood… I can’t stop crying and has inspired me to cover this again, it’s been years..thank you ❤️
I will also look out for your cover, but I will say that I don't expect anyone to ever do it this well ever again. I had never heard of Stephen Wilson Jr. before this morning. I saw a Facebook Reel of snippets of this video, and I rushed here to get the whole thing. I have been lying in bed for the last 40 minutes listening to it on repeat, crying harder than I ever have in my entire life. I lost that person that used to stand by me this year and it has been the most painful thing I've experienced in a long time. This song shook that awake in me...
@@gabeholder7423I heard the reel too and did exactly what you did. There’s times in our life when we hear songs that literally change us, this is one of them.
@@mukluk45100%!! I don’t know what the hell has happened here but my heart, my soul, my very being are totally bewitched and enchanted and obsessed with this gentleman’s voice!!!
Not since Johnny Cash reimagined Trent Reznor’s Hurt have I seen such a dramatic rebirth of a timeless powerful classic into a completely fresh masterpiece. Haunting, driven, deep. This is spellbinding
You need to add on more to your list-check out “lose yourself” covered by Casey Chambers live at civic theatre, Newcastle, Australia played on a banjo.
He has the ability to cover alot of the greats . His original songs are fantastic and most definitely worthy of a listen. Personally I would love a Tom Waits cover possibly "downtown train "
This man and his guitar abilities are unreal. His voice is so refreshing. It's such an amazing song, and he absolutely killed it. I can't stop watching this.
It's because of open tuning. You essentially end up playing some of the notes twice since pairs of strings are runed the same. That makes it sound like 2 guitars worth of volume are present
It’s rare these days to come across an artist that reaches deep in one’s soul and sings 100% with their heart, my man just displayed that. Thankful I randomly stumbled on this video.
After 20+ years of active addiction, with all the typical pain and heartache, stress, financial burdens associated with it, I thought my stepfather (in law enforcement) hated me for it. It's not his job to support me the way he has. But I'm on the right track now, so he sends me the link to this video today. I'm overwhelmed with the love he has shown me. He's getting older, and it feels like an honor to be asked to stand by him. What a powerful performance!
your words made me cry. I very much relate to the first half ....every day is still, a struggle. lost my dad in Aug 2019..... there's still no words for that. makes me eager to face the struggle tho... if that, makes any sense. keep going forward my friend.... enjoy those small moments. take pictures. go to sleep with a smile. and wake up with no hate in your bones. I'm proud of you.
I am so grateful I saw this comment. You are worthy… your stepdad felt this and thought of you. That’s special. I am sending it to my brother who is in chronic liver failure from alcoholism (sober now) hoping he will hold on until he finds his path to God or until he gets a liver transplant (it does not seem right or fair for him to get one and he likely will not).
My wife and I got married in 2009 and this was the song for our first wedding dance. It was the Tracy Chapman cover. This is the best version of this song, including the original and it’s not even close
These are the comments that RUclips was meant for. Thank you for sharing. I’ll gaze at the stars and think about my life obviously, but will remember this comment and promise to give a thought to your father as well. Cheers to our fathers.
Funny you say this about your dad , Stephen has said this song is him missing his dad who passed , said he’s loved this song since he was young and it’s haunted him , you can feel his heartfelt emotional sentiments,,,,yea I miss my dad also , here’s to your dad and mine , yea love them forever and in our hearts forever
I cannot stop listening, I've watched it about 10.times a day since I discovered itthe last week, by far the best cover I have ever heard in all my life
I just lost my dad. A few weeks later I found this song. Thank you God for leading me to this & it’s timing & giving this man the talent. You can’t just listen to it once
That guitar deserves a thumbs up just for clearly communicating this man’s heart…That beautiful lady has seen some stuff and has been put to work…Lots of character
Did you see where the guy beside him gifted him a 1959 fender tweed amp? He was so moved by the performance…he matched a timeless priceless experience with a timeless priceless amp.
As a musician (part time - professional lol), the guitar playing, the vocals …. Just in absolute awe…. When I first heard this a month or so ago. I pulled over and just soaked in every note… return daily to replicate…. Just absolute perfection. Discovering him last year was an absolute gift. I look forward to everything the man puts out… I’d listen to the alphabet song and happy birthday if he recorded it on repeat
Okay. Seriously. I’ve known my whole life music is a language that speaks to me spiritually, and many people in the world. This is one that transcends my soul and leaves me feeling so enraptured with feelings of love. Simply amazing. I don’t know if music moves you this way, but take a listen to this!! It’s simple, it’s a remake, but is nothing short of amazing. Wow!!
Matter of time before he creates an earthquake in the music scene -- rumblings are starting. Been obsessed with his music for 2 years. Silence doesn't last long in my head long, his songs fill it
This made me think of my dad, who I lost back in August 2024. No matter how much I screwed up he always stood by me and believed I could turn my life around. I finally have, and I just hope he's proud of me.
The host nodding his head and smiling as he looks at the people behind the camera at 2:20 says it all. Holy moly. What a talent and what a cover of an already classic song.
I haven't had the urge to pick up a guitar since my brother died in 2018. This changed that for me. Absolutely haunting and brilliant. This is on another level. 😢
today I was playing this and noticed people out the front of the yard, just looking in, 3 then 4 then 6 ... everyone was captivated by the music they were hearing... this is a masterful.
Never did I think I’d live to see someone cover a song that’s already HUGE, and take it to another level and make it his own. Only artist I’ve listened to that’s done this was Waylon Jennings.
Agree 100% , I’m so happy to have discovered @stephenwilsonjr. I know this is a cover , but it’s really an original , song took on a whole different meaning
Today is my moms birthday, we lost her to cancer. She never complained....ever. She knew she was dying. She told me She Was not Afraid. I love you forever and I miss you more than words and tears can say.
Sorry to hear. Sounds like we had similar moms'. My mom's birthday was Nov 22, we lost her 3 years ago unexpectedly. I never heard her complain. She was an angel. Our world will never be the same. God bless.
I hope you can feel her presence!! My father was the same way-i remember a nurse attempting to start an IV on him & missing like 3 or 4 times and him apologizing to her! I pray we can pull from their bravery, truly...❤❤❤
Absolutely rocked me to my core... I've listened to this song way too many times... And yet, I still get goosebumps and tears every time I hear this version. 😭❤️
Okay. I think it’s high time I packed it in because this is the best singer songwriter performance I’ve ever seen and I’ll never ever come close that so…
This one hit hard... my Father used to sing and play this song on guitar. He passed away almost 2 years now. Listening to this great version really really hit me... Thank you for that!
That's no cover. He completely OWNED that song.
Ya, that's a great way to put it. Dude owned song. That is all...
Just a guy rocking a red cardigan and cowboy boots playing probably the best cover of stand by me i've ever heard
By far the best cover of stand by me I’ve ever heard
I agree. Check out Florence and the Machines version too. That has always been the best version iv heard so far. But this one may beat it out.
That guitar has a soul. Agreed
Undoubtedly the best. Bet Ben smiled from above.
Red neck Mr.Rogers❤
This specific recording needs to be put on all streaming services. Holy sh!t this is gold!
Couldn't agree more. This is amazing
That guy sitting in the other chair just witnessing a musical masterpiece for all time.
Id buy it right now if it was available
I've found so many great musicians this way, Tyler Childers, Benjamin Tod, Zach Bryan, mandolin orange. For some reason, once they start recording in studios, they're still great but it just never hits the same as sessions like this
ye
I’ve been trying for 15 minutes to come up with a worthy comment. I have no words for truly how awesome this is. No words.
Likewise brother
Sometimes they saying nothing is just the best way tho
Imagine sitting in that chair next to him while he changes the universe with that performance.
Lmao!
And he did just that!
Perfect statement
To Stephen,
I was a walking dead man until I heard this cover. Your voice and the sound of your guitar cut me open like a knife. Allowing me see the parts of me that has rotten/died when I lost my father and my best friend. The magic in your song freed me from the grief and loneliness that wouldn’t leave me alone.

I agree!
💯💯👍
I can not believe how Stephen has channeled the music Gods in this song
10x
Maybe the 20th time I've listened this month. Banger
This proves that music is food for the soul, I didn't hear that song..I felt it.
Exactly …felt that with all my heart
🙌
I think most of his music touches the soul. His voice is a gift
Exactly, this has brought tears to my eyes
“I didn’t hear that song, i felt it” that’s a great way of putting it. Sums it up so perfectly
What a bloody voice! I am obsessed with this now 😮 who else keeps repeating it coz the first 287 times isn’t enough? ❤ WOW YOU ROCK BROTHER
I feel that....I just passed 1001 times myself
This may possibly be the greatest cover/reimagining of a song in the history of music
I just found this guy 2 hours ago and have listened to this and "I'm a song" and Father's son about 10 times each.... fucking amazing wow
I’m a song might just be the best song ever written
I’ve watched/listened to this cover 50 times easily this week. It’s mind blowing. Even calling it a “cover” is an insult to what this is.
No doubt, he owns it now. Powerful
Haha relate much here 🙋🏻♀️😁
Same here. My hound dog and I have probably listened a hundred times already!
Revival
This isn't just a cover, this a complete reimagining of this song
Yes he made this his own ,it took on another meaning , took it to another level , absolutely moving , heartfelt, and beautiful
@angelovalenti7764 and it's painful ASF, damn
@@angelovalenti7764 be warned, it will tear you apart 😅
Why isnt this man world famous??? This took my breath away
He is now
This is as close to a spiritual experience as music can take you. If this doesn't light your world on fire. We are cut from two different molds.
No, man. This is a full on spiritual experience made possible through the soul of another. My lord, this is unreal.
Insane good!! Can’t stop watching all of his music! I don’t even know what happened, I’m tranced!! 🤯🤯😃😃

You are spot-on brother spot on this is the best s*** in the world
Seriously have been entranced with this dudes music for the last three days.
Some songs just transcend all known barriers and strikes a chord deep in a person's soul. This is one of them.
Not since Johnny Cash reimagined Trent Reznor’s Hurt have I seen such a dramatic rebirth of a timeless powerful classic into a completely fresh masterpiece. Haunting, driven, deep. This is spellbinding
Definitely
You need to add on more to your list-check out “lose yourself” covered by Casey Chambers live at civic theatre, Newcastle, Australia played on a banjo.
This is the most appropriate comment to try and summarize this work of art.
I’m going on 6 times in a row now. Anyone else?
This is been on repeat...I feel you.
Lost counting 😂
Been on repete for hours
Try and keep up.
I haven’t been able to stop listening to this and sharing it , I listen to it 6 times just on the way home in the car , probably over 30 times now
This song feels like the first drink of water after walking the desert for 30 days
You've clearly never walked in the desert without water for 30 days
@@MarkIRE1 you take everything at face value don't you mark?
Spot on❤
@@UlverEos😂😂😂😂
Lol, great analogy!!! This is definitely something beyond special.. 🤘
Really really want to hear him cover Hallelujah, i think he would make that song absolutely unreal
He has the ability to cover alot of the greats .
His original songs are fantastic and most definitely worthy of a listen.
Personally I would love a Tom Waits cover possibly "downtown train "
The depth of his guitar playing accompanied with his unique style is amazing - so rich 🔥
I think all we can really say is Thank You. This is one of those moments in music that physically moves a person.
You better get ready to go on a journey with this man. This song is going to take you deep off somewhere
This is what the world needs..
Ive been listening to this man for over 2 years, since "1994" Still waiting for the rest of the world to 'discover' him, long overdue.
My mind is blown! It’s rare for someone to only sing, play a guitar, and still be better than most bands nowadays. This guys is musical genius level!
This man and his guitar abilities are unreal. His voice is so refreshing. It's such an amazing song, and he absolutely killed it. I can't stop watching this.
Views have tripled commented at 550k 4 days later 1.4M....
This guy brings the sound of like 3 guitars out of one. What a tear jerking masterpiece
Masterpiece x10
I was looking for the backups at first. For reals.
nah man. he just brings the sound of one well loved guitar.
It's because of open tuning. You essentially end up playing some of the notes twice since pairs of strings are runed the same. That makes it sound like 2 guitars worth of volume are present

To play the guitar like that and sing at the same time is absolutely phenomenal. Great work my friend
Might just be the best cover of any song ever.
100%
100% Fisch! You are the man!
It’s good, but sound of silence by Disturbed on the Conan show is still tops all time for me.
This is hands down the best cover I have heard of this song ever and probably ever will hear!
I just lost my dad. A few weeks later I found this song. Thank you God for leading me to this & it’s timing & giving this man the talent.
You can’t just listen to it once
that's for sure!! I can't even guess how many times i've played this video now... it's out of this world!
There are people with musical talent and there is this guy
I wish I had 1/100th of his talent. Pure gold! This is amazing
It's inside you
Again, this is biblical. Amazing cover. One of the best artists I've ever heard.
Incredible!!!
Every so often the good lord gives us a gift!
In the form a very special human being.
I think this guy is an example of that.
Amazing!!!
4 minutes turned into a lifetime. Amazing.
this made me cry. Not something that happens often. Beautiful power in his voice.
Tears.... absolute perfection. Everything a song should be.
That guitar deserves a thumbs up just for clearly communicating this man’s heart…That beautiful lady has seen some stuff and has been put to work…Lots of character
This is exactly what you want in a song.
The best part is the guy sitting beside him just like “hell ya, this is awesome, are yall hearing this?”
Did you see where the guy beside him gifted him a 1959 fender tweed amp? He was so moved by the performance…he matched a timeless priceless experience with a timeless priceless amp.
I'm a retired professional of 31 years in the system, this is first time I've been impressed since Elvis
As a musician (part time - professional lol), the guitar playing, the vocals …. Just in absolute awe…. When I first heard this a month or so ago.
