You and System made me cry. As a Christian, I think I understand this song quite a bit more now. To believe that I jammed to this song since it came out.
Agreed! It's not only about skillfully covering a song in another style. They manage to maintain, or even enhance the essence of the originals. A+ indeed.
Stavo proprio pensando il contrario mentre ascoltavo il brano, mi spiego, questa è una cover acustica, ovvero il brano è stato reinterpretato come se fosse stato creato già acustico, per strumenti acustici. Il problema è che normalmente si ascoltano cover acustiche che NON sono cover acustiche, anzi non sono proprio delle cover, sono solo lo stesso brano suonato con strumenti acustici. Ovviamente tali cover fanno generalmente schifo. Questa invece è esattamente come dovrebbe essere una cover acustica. Purtroppo nel mare di mediocrità un buon lavoro sembra una cosa strana quando invece questa dovrebbe essere il giusto modo di fare.
What about Sad Statue and Toxicity? I mean, obviously BYOB and Chop Suey are awesome, but I think there's a ton of underrated ones with SOAD (probably because so many are so fricking good)
15 year old me loved the original, even though I only partially understood the meaning behind the lyrics, I felt the "rage" behind them. 34 year old me now loves this cover even more than the original (as much as I love SOAD and Serj), as it's more in tone with how I feel about the lyrics now, and I also feel like it's more in tone with Serj's current style. The rage we feel towards the world in our youth, when our eyes start opening towards how the world functions, and how no one is doing anything about it.... versus the sorrow we feel as we age and realise the horrors going on in the world, and how we are, in the end, powerless as lone individuals to have any real impact in making any significant change.
SOAD are Armenian-American their history is full of war and survival ever since they adopted Christianity They fought Ancient Persia and the Ottoman Empire
@@christiandauz3742 Yeah bro, I've read in history books that SOAD fought with the Spartans against the Persians in the battle of Termopylae, and fought against the Ottomans to retake Jerusalem! 😭
You have such a good way to keep the soul of a song alive in your covers, no matter how much they deviate from the original. It's so beautiful, thank you!!
You guys are really amazing arrangers. Even with the different style all the intensity is still there. And the little tweaks like shortening the chorus and reharmonizing a few key spots. Top notch
I really appreciate that with these heavier songs, you don't cut in with dialogue. Wow, this was the best cover I've ever seen or heard for this song...
Original version: Played during the war that will wipe out most of humanity This version: Played as some survivor walks down the empty streets in the wake of the destruction
This captures the feeling of sadness I tend to get when I listen to some SOAD. There's nothing like a system album to make you laugh, cry and wanna break stuff
I feel you. I was 9 and my brother played it in his car all the time - my English was by no means good enough to catch most of the lyrics, so all I heard was stuff about a party and "Why do they always send the poor?". Took me four more years to get it.
I was 8 or 9, similar experience. We had religious parents tho, and I remember hiding under the bunk bed to listen to this on my brothers portable cd player xD
I have a friend who just joined the army and this was his favorite song. He sent it to me right before he shipped off to basic. I was going to make my own cover of it for him. You guys really inspired me, and I cried way too much during this song. Thank you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’ve watched quite a lot of your videos. They all are remarkable. But this one... man, I can’t count how many times I felt shivers. One of your best works IMO. Keep it up, bros!
Anche a me! Scusarmi per mio italiano male. ------ Sono Cecho ( si, vedo bene xD ). Non ho molte oportunite a comunicare in italiano. Quante volte vorrei studiare tedesco in scuola (Germania e vicino a Republica Cecha) ma ora non e possibile. In un anno finisco la scuola. Comunque, ho visto questo comment e ho deciso scrivere qualcosa in italiano senza il Google traduttore. XD ------
I heard around 3 seconds of the chorus in a video of yugopnik and was jmmedietely in love with the song. It's just so well done and has a simultaneously depressing and hopeful aspect almost like a person angry at the system for so long that they sort of accept it and are hopeful about potential change. Its beautiful.
I thought... I was.... Going to........ .... Hate it....... .. I love Serj.... The way he puts the vocals together... I love... This song. The strings are so much more beautiful than anything I've ever heard... And knowing this song by heart.... Makes it extremely... Trippy. And magnificent. Thank you!
I am so happy you did this. I always felt like I needed an acoustic version of this song because it has a really sad message and is to cry over if you think about it. Cried, so yeah you did your job perfectly!
Hi ! I've just discovered you thanks to Violet and ... waouh 😱😍😵 I don't have the words in English and neither in French ! Magical ! Big thanks and love from France !
You guys... you fuggin guys... Im never in a "soft music" mood hardly ever.. hell I wasnt even in one before I watched this vid, but you had me singing with ya brothers!!!!! Cheers fam! Lots of us are loving what you are doing, keep it up! Whoop whooop!
sorry for judging you, you appeared on my recommended and i thought: gonna leave on "watch later" cause i dont have good hopes. but here i am, this was amazing, great job, hope you do more

It was just awesome! you guys got my subscription! could you send the tabs?
You and System made me cry. As a Christian, I think I understand this song quite a bit more now. To believe that I jammed to this song since it came out.
Read this and immediately followed on Spotify. Love your work!
Can we have tabs please?
Somehow, Melodicka Bros always know what to do with SOAD's music. A+
And with every other band's music as well ;)
Agreed! It's not only about skillfully covering a song in another style. They manage to maintain, or even enhance the essence of the originals. A+ indeed.
this sounds like something Serj would love with all his heart
you don’t know him
@@MrJB8383 chill, why so negative?
Eu tbm aposto que sim
@@GuilhermeBretherick é a cara dele ;)
@@MrJB8383 and I suppose you do, weirdo
Man System of a Down songs are totally appliable now more than ever.
seriously
Undoubtedly
You mean applicable
@@_veikkomies appliable does sound like a word though 😂
We could really use a band that has something to say with their music in our current situations! ✌️
Can we get Serj to notice this? I'm fairly sure that its the beat SOAD cover out there. Hands down.
Beautiful and soulful version! For me "Take on me" and this one are the most heartfelt covers. probably all point is in forests at the background 😄
Take on me is the best cover they've done
Definitely their best covers !
Umm how come? Is this it? ruclips.net/video/ZSTs1SM46mA/видео.html
System of a down's version is like rage against the government's acts.
This version is like helplessness and sadness against it.
Beautiful
this is true infortunately they will always send the poor and never fight by their hands
rage against the what?
@@armaros3366the machine :)
It's more than a simply "acoustic cover". You've done a new song, a new beautiful song. Well done guys!

ye
This version adds a kind of haunted melancholy to it's already depressing subject matter. Well done, sirs. Well done.
my mind is angry but my heart is calm now
👌
Great sentiment!
Same bro, same
Nailed it
Powerful combination
This is actually breathtaking guys. Serj needs to see this, he would be so proud and impressed! You have a beautiful voice
And John, Shavo and Daron?
@@austintucker7341 yea them too
Agree
Everyone always talks about Chop Suey but I always thought this was a superior song in SOAD's catalogue. Great cover guys!
What about Sad Statue and Toxicity? I mean, obviously BYOB and Chop Suey are awesome, but I think there's a ton of underrated ones with SOAD (probably because so many are so fricking good)
My favorites are Toxicity, Lonely Day and Lost In Hollywood.
Toxicity and lonely day are the best this is like the 3rd chop suey is so overrated
Holy Mountains is still my favorite song from SOAD
Spiders is so underrated
What an EPIC COVER!!
Very good
This song makes me feel good. Like, we're all going to die, but it's ok.
We ARE all going to die
Im DEAD!
@@ReinventingTheSteve And it IS ok
I've never felt okay to die
's long as I can leave something for my family behind, 'm okay with that.
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SINGAPORE
French peoples : Henry Tran ? Ça va ?
Yes
😂😂😂
Can't unhear
Tu n’iras jamais jamais jamais
Retains the protest quality of the original, but also leads it into a wistful mood. 10/10 absolute banger.
15 year old me loved the original, even though I only partially understood the meaning behind the lyrics, I felt the "rage" behind them.

Somehow I feel like listening to this in the middle of a thunderstorm while drinking coffee and reading a good book.
While that sounds pretty "hipster" it also sounds like what I'd do 😊
That describes most of my quarantine mornings actually
@@InineV you have thunderstorms on most of your mornings?
If you can listen to music and read a book at the same time you sir are a badass. I couldn’t do it if I tried
@@brandonwelborn2918 music actually helps me imagine the scenarios better
Its unbelievable how well this works
This song it like "pump up kicks" people would dance mindlessly to it then be shocked with the lyrics
The irony...that is what this song is about. I mean people mindlessly partying and ignoring those that are dying in war every day.
That's what this song is about
"Everybody is going to the party have a really good time"
SOAD are Armenian-American their history is full of war and survival ever since they adopted Christianity
They fought Ancient Persia and the Ottoman Empire
@@christiandauz3742 Yeah bro, I've read in history books that SOAD fought with the Spartans against the Persians in the battle of Termopylae, and fought against the Ottomans to retake Jerusalem! 😭
@@amartheprettyalrightkotare1359
I hope your people are never subjected to genocide or the attempted elimination of your faith
Man, this song hits different when you can comprehend the lyrics in real time. Nice work.
As a SOAD fan, I always enjoy a cover of one of their songs, and this one is fabulous ! Well done guys !
What do you think of mine?

@@HCAguilera ,e
At 1st I was like.... bulllllshitttttt... then it spoke to me.... now I need a hug and a nap.
This is awesome
Always wonderful acoustic covers !
This is probably my favourite cover you've ever done. Puts a whole new spin on an already powerful song, amazing job!
You have such a good way to keep the soul of a song alive in your covers, no matter how much they deviate from the original. It's so beautiful, thank you!!
It's like I'm hearing it for the first time again.
You guys are really amazing arrangers. Even with the different style all the intensity is still there. And the little tweaks like shortening the chorus and reharmonizing a few key spots. Top notch
I absolutely need more covers like this in my life. This cover is extremely beautiful. Thank you for what you do.
Suggestion: happy version of Megadeth's "A Tout Le Monde":)
YES PLEASE
I think "a tout le monde" could have a great (sad) video if it followed the lyrics. I see an old man dying, tied to a bed in a hospital.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO megadeth a tout le monde!!!!!
I'm sorry bro
What the fuck have you done..I can't stop listening to this!! ._____.
It seems like you guys up the bar with each new song. Great stuff.
I really appreciate that with these heavier songs, you don't cut in with dialogue. Wow, this was the best cover I've ever seen or heard for this song...
Amazing. The mandolin was such a good choice.
Original version: Played during the war that will wipe out most of humanity
This version: Played as some survivor walks down the empty streets in the wake of the destruction
The orphaned children of the corporate war machine.
Totally agree!
I came here to make the same comparison!!
thanks for the mental movie mate, love it
Damn beautiful visualization
This is the first time I actually understand the lyrics of the song..
Same for me.
I remember a few clips from ages ago where they called out George Bush right before they started playing. Hits you in the spine a little bit lol
This captures the feeling of sadness I tend to get when I listen to some SOAD. There's nothing like a system album to make you laugh, cry and wanna break stuff
The key change at 4:44 is simply godly
This sounds like it could genuinely be a different SOAD song. I imagine this would be what we'd get if Daron arranged EVERYTHING on this song.
Amazing as always ! I just cant get enough of these acoustic covers
OMG, these guys are such great composers. Their compositions are insane. ♥️
the last part gave me life, please put this on spotify, it's brilliant
(english is not my native language, please don't slaughter me)
Your English was perfect, don't worry
This is better english than many native speakers.
slaughter?? 😂
RUclips algorithm brought me here...... their amazing talent is keeping me here.
I like System of a Down and this acoustics covers
Holy shit, best cover I've ever heard. Of anything.
Nice job! You killed it.
I remember taking the song literally. I thought it was about a party. I was probably like 7 though when I first heard it
I feel you. I was 9 and my brother played it in his car all the time - my English was by no means good enough to catch most of the lyrics, so all I heard was stuff about a party and "Why do they always send the poor?". Took me four more years to get it.

@@FreggFaerie lol
Oh but it is about parties
Just not the ‘birthday’ kind
Damn, you nailed it, again! Thank U!
We've found the background music for the end of the world, boys and girls!
They've always been the end of the world background soundtrack...and ROTM
I still come back to this cover regularly, Its just such a good cover imo!
That casual flip off at the end 😂

you made this song for anyone to sing. great!
Лучшее что слышал в жизни! Молодцы парни
Coming back after a couple of years to state this is still my favorite cover on this channel.
I thought this would be "System of a Down - BYOB (But we're having a bad time)"
You captured this sound in such a special way. Awesome! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Umm, wow, never thought I’d use these words to describe a System song but: beautiful & heavenly 🥰 this was a goddamn journey. Well done 💜💛

Never noticed that there's actually some "crawling" from LP vibes in this song. Weird. Cool. And love all the green in this vid :D
"Where the fuck are you" part is literally a combination of "crawling" song by Linkin Park. Genius.
非常に素晴らしい！！カヴァーだが、カヴァーを超える新しいB.Y.O.Bだ！！感動した( *´艸｀)

Hey, man, that's the best cover ever! The most beautiful sound I've ever heard! I like your videos and hope you will continue making covers
Siete pazzeschi. VI ho scoperto solo oggi e non capisco che cosa ascoltavo prima... Grandissimi continuate così
Already one of my favorite covers ever, and I'm not even kidding! Pays absolute respect to the original while giving it a very unique perspective.
