  • Dustin Kensrue performing a powerful acoustic cover of Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus live from the Carry the Fire tour at The Irenic in San Diego, CA on June 5. 2015. This was shot on a Sony Cyber-shot HX50V. Due to the lights pointing almost directly at where I was standing, there are lens flares in pretty much 100% of the videos. Also the color of the lights didn't really sit well with my camera, but oh well.

    I was actually at this show. He's my favorite artist hands down and to see him in a tiny place like The Irenic was a treat. When he started playing this we all (as you can hear) chuckled bc we were like "Seriously??" - before we knew it everyone was mesmerized and when he stepped back from the mic to belt out the song we all had goosebumps. His rendition was so powerful.

      It was only your least favorite song because of your own judgemental attitudes. It's always been a beautiful song, it just took an artist you deem worthy of your praise covering it for you to be able to recognize that. Try to recognize a song for what it is, don't let your own preconceived notions surrounding whoever wrote the song influence your appreciation for the art. Dustin clearly does not.

    @toedyhood1353 4 года назад +4

    He nailed the song, but more importantly, he saw through the preconceptions of “a pop song” and realized just how well this song was written. The lyrics stand alone, but most “mature” adults fail to even notice them while they obsessively gawk at the idol they’ve created in their own perception (i.e. Miley Cyrus)

    • @toedyhood1353
      @toedyhood1353 4 года назад

      Now, some are appreciative/reverent of their newly discovered alternative to the idol they deemed unworthy of their reverence, so they “put him high up in the sky”. The idol will always come down though, due to the nature of idolatry
      Meanwhile... the words remain unheard by those who lack the ears to hear them

  • @K0erv

    This is so good. You can really notice how in the first half, the people are giggling because he chose such a "strange" song to cover.

This is a great example of what most of those can be when torn down to a simple chord progression and some really strong vocals.
