I listened to that chord in the first few verses and was like "I mean it's nice and all but not great" then I heard *that* one and was like "Oh! oh. oh my. oh okay then. Yeah that's the one. That's the bitch. That's the good shit right there. Oh yeah.

Actually, it had exceptional success when he recorded it, and for quite some time afterwards. It faded, like many do, but has recently enjoyed a resurgence.
You know there's something called audio refinement, right? Look at someone like Matt Van Ness, there's some clear post production editing done. You can't say for sure there's none here.
@@jastheweeb5810 Ay I appreciate his work too, but I appreciate all stuff like with an air of caution. And my statement does appreciate his post prod if he did incorporate it, because it turned this into the great work it is
As a native West Virginian, I just have to say that you did an amazing job singing one of our state songs! This song is dear to us and it’s always nice to hear non native singers singing it. Thanks for putting a smile on my face, and keep up the good work.
That harmonising at the end is just majestic. It's only when you hear things like this do you realise that the best person you can harmonise with is yourself.
Have always loved John Denver songs so the title caught my eye. After watching Jared start singing I was hooked. Fantastic voice and the dancing kept me watching as well.
3:00 in the third square on the bottom row, him dabbing almost killed me that's amazing, also the way he stays there and then just shuffles out is the best
Im 52. i remember being in grade 1 singing with a bunch of other kids up to grade 5 in front of a gymful of ppl..man i remember we sounded beautiful...song has this memory attached to it 4 me

OMG! This is perfect! Literally was just listening to this and thinking how awesome it would be to have an acapella version of this! Your acapella was AMAZING, Jared! As, always, keep up this AMAZING work! :D Bet you had so much fun making this video, as you always do! I think it's finally time to take you and your 15 twins back home! (To the acapella studio!) #NotificationGang
Hey guys! This one’s been requested a ton so I hope you enjoy it 😁 🎧 Download or stream this cover on Spotify, Apple, etc: songwhip.com/jaredhalley/takemehomecountryroads
Me: lays in bed screaming West Virginia with a squeaky voice. Jared: Dances amazingly and sings perfectly. Me: Gets up and tries to repeat his dances. My family: whispers to each other "Should we call a doctor?" Me: Yeeeehaaaaa!
Sarah Jane Sings dont matter. You have a wonderfull singing voice. I believe that you will have success with it in a few years if you keep practicing and uploading😊
Born and raised in West Virginia! Thank you! Heard that after I left WV for a good job that John Denver came to West Virgina University for a football half time. Just the one song. He thought he would be there for 5- 10 minutes and then fly back out in the helicopter. But after he finished, the crowd gave him a 20 minute standing ovation! Country Roads is our unofficial state song. "Thank God I'm a country girl" in Texas now.
My partner died on January 4th this year and that was the song we used as his music. Brings me to tears every time I hear it but your version is so upbeat and actually made me smile today - five months without him and I miss him so much 😢
Beautiful, just beautiful! Jared you never seice to amaze! Hey does anyone else think of Merlin (R.I.P) from Kingsmen when hearing this song... No... Just me... Ok... :,(
I have listened to him sing this one about 15 times in the last 3 days. One of my favorite songs and beautifully done. No shame in singing it brings a tear of joy out
I had to put my good headphones on for this one, this is one of my favorites of all time. Jared your voice is amazing and you have done a fantastic job recording and putting this video together. I do some sound work now and then and this is done very very well. Thank you!
My Dad loved this song and when I am missing him I like to listen to it as it makes him feel closer to me, it is my calm place and your version is amazing. 👍
Jared Halley. I commend you, sir. You just sang this song to a girl who was born in West Virginia and fervently hates Country Roads because of all the people that sing it to her when she mentions that she was born there..... You just sang it and made her like it. Bravo, Mr. Halley.
This has become my favorite version of a song that is so sweetly nostalgic for me that I typically avoid covers. I cannot stop listening to yours, you're amazing!!
I didn't thumbs down because he is talented and I don't want to be rude but I am a purist and this bugged me. Would have liked it with just him singing not all the bleeping and blooping in the background.
Jared....I keep coming back to this. It sometimes makes me smile, sometimes makes me cry but it always leaves me feeling better than when I clicked on it.
Being FROM West Virginia, I think this is in the top 3 versions of this song that I've ever heard. Absolutely awesome! Love the entertainment factor as well. 💯
I already love hearing your covers, but now you’re covering the state song of my home! As someone from West Virginia it means a lot to hear someone cover it.
Came looking for this comment. That chord and the overtones/dissonance at 2:41 to 2:42... amazing... and yeah, Google finally decided to suggest one of your videos and this is what I just saw... so yeah... wow. subscribed.
Stumbled here by accident while doing a P. Bence tour. Wow, what fun. Music with fun. FUN! And excellent arranging. And dancing? That takes the cake. Wonderful. Thanks.
Dude ever since CallMeKevin covered this song I've seen this song popping up all over the place now. This is a great cover in it's own right. Really relaxing, amazing job.
We may not be able to leave our houses, but we can always depend on both this song and Jared to take us to wonderful places.
Dragonis Prime and jared’s amazing dancing!!😂😂
Haha nice profile picture (SameXD)

That chord at 2:40 when he sings "I belong" gets me every time
That cord gave me chills it was so good

Nah, have to inhale before I belong 😂

I DID THIS TOO LMAO
I hope Jared and his family are staying safe during the outbreak, especially his adorable daughter.
Jared Halley... The man, The Myth, The legend, Keeping the people happy when the world came to a standstill 😎 Bravo.
Lyrics
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Thank you for the correct lyrics, as the captions are deplorable!
Thx man
Thank you!
You talented bro GB
Wow... the Harmony at 2:40 gives me chills every time!!! Sensational
His voice is like melted butter, it just washes over you. It’s so SMOOTH ❤️
Good analogy.
I've never had melted butter wash over me, but I get what you mean.
I don't get it
@@Sophie-zk4hr wait....it's not normal to have melted butter wash over you on a daily basis? Man. I really need to rethink my life...
I LOVE this song, now even more since Jared is singing
His dancing is my new morning routine.
No one:
Me in my room at 12 am: *WEST VIRGINIA.....*
2 am for me
Bro, me now. And more than I like to admit
1:40am for me rn
My bf and me were listening to this at 1 am and I don't know why. Sorry neighbours
2:20 am rn
This song by Jared is one of my favorites that he has ever done. It never gets old. Thanks, Jared. You rock!!
for 3 minutes and 54 seconds everything was clear and peaceful perfect for times like these ❤
amen
Too bad he couldn't see the success this song would have years after he recorded it.
Actually, it had exceptional success when he recorded it, and for quite some time afterwards. It faded, like many do, but has recently enjoyed a resurgence.

The greatest sacrifice known to mankind!
This man is a legend, he deserves to have an entire team helping him out with these videos.
When he broke it down to just his vocals, I GOT GOOSEBUMPS! Well done man!
Have always loved John Denver songs so the title caught my eye. After watching Jared start singing I was hooked. Fantastic voice and the dancing kept me watching as well.
Opinion: This is a great song
Cold hard fact: You can't watch this without cracking a smile
You brought a tear to the eye of this southern girl living in San Francisco!
