Peter gave the keynote commencement address yesterday at the University of Oregon for the graduating class of 2015. My son was one of the 5,188 graduates. Peter's speech was in a word...WONDERFUL. Peter, you're optimism and passion for 'following your dream' was truly inspirational. Thank you so much for making a special day a truly unforgettable day. Your positive message touched everyone in the arena. If you missed it , the conclusion of the speech was Peter singing "Home" along with this video playing on large screens informing the graduates that the University of Oregon would always be there home. Unforgettable!
I heard this song as background on a commercial, and of course, THIS cover started playing in my head, so I had to pop in and play a few dozen times tonight!
I’ve loved your music for a while, but this song has become an anthem for me. My wife and I are adopting a 12-year-old girl who has been in and out of foster homes for years. She has no reason to believe us when we say we’re not going to give up on her, no matter what she does or how she behaves, but we keep telling her that we love her and are going to stand by her. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful reminder of our feelings.
Lyrics: Hold on to me as we go As we roll down this unfamiliar road And although this wave (wave) is stringing us along Just know you're not alone 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home Settle down, it'll all be clear Don't pay no mind to the demons They fill you with fear The trouble-it might drag you down If you get lost, you can always be found Just know you're not alone 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. Oo-oo-oo-oo [2x] Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aa-aa-aa-aaaaaa [4x] Settle down, it'll all be clear Don't pay no mind to the demons They fill you with fear The trouble it might drag you down If you get lost, you can always be found Just know you're not alone 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home (Come on!) Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. Ao-oo-oo-oo [4x] Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aa-aa-aa-aaaaaa [4x]
Just want to say, Home was the song my wife picked for our newborn. We love your version even more and it is the version we play for her now. Her big sister dances to it every day too. Thank you so much for the great work and keep it up!
Peter and his wife are amazing, when I can not sleep I can listen to his music and and get lost in it and so relaxed and before you know it sweet dreams.
I found your music quite by accident. I was in an A cappella group in the 70's and we actually sang at the Republican National Convention in Miami when Nixon ran for President. What you are doing is truly amazing and I must say that your work touches me so deeply that most of what I hear from you literally brings me to tears. Your music is so deeply moving and the emotions that it makes surface, tickle and soothe me to my very core, tears seem to be my body's way of expressing what it feels.
i know im late, but i just wanna say thank you for having your manager message my chorus teacher last year, we arranged this version for my friend who had passed away. this was her favorite song. again, thank you so much for hooking us up with the arrangement. it really means a lot to me. i couldnt be more grateful for having remembrance of my friend this way. God bless
My favorite song of his. Been listening to this a lot lately, with all the bad things in life, this is one of the things that keeps me sane. thanks peter. Keep working hard, "don't pay no mind to the demons."
Could you do " The Wedding Song " by " Noel Paul Stookey " either by yourself or with your wife and/or family or other Music Artist of your choosing. Our 50th Wedding Anniversary is coming up in July, & my wife & I would like that to be our Theme song by you as we take our vows again after 50 years for our last time. Your Skills & Voice should be considered a National Treasure, you do music the way it was meant to be, clear & understandable with emotion and you put your heart an soul in it. Thank you, Mike
My mom loves this song. It's what got her through our first few months in GA and made her feel better. I love your rendition of it. It's absolutely beautiful!
Damn, Peter I only recently started following you. I want to thank you for bringing your talent to all of us. Just listening to you on a good or bad day changes the day for the better. Keep up this amazing work, you will go far.
I'm not Crying... You're Crying 😭😭😭 I can't with you, @PeterHollens. I just can't....why is there just so much of everything You do everything.... And do it well And do it non stop And my heart burst everytime 💞
Was in the car the other day when the original of this came on & I'm singing along; daughter goes "How do you know this?" (like that's unusual) One word reply - Peter. Complete understanding on her part :) Each song you do is wonderful it's hard to pick a favorite, but I think this one is it. Love all that you do and may you keep singing for a long time.
man, listening to you sing makes me want to sing more/again. i sing so infrequently lately... this makes me miss it, and get excited to try new things and see what i can do!

Me too! But I can't remember the commercial.
Lol, I can't either now.
The commercial was Disney's Bears, or something? ( the one with Skye and her cubs)
you bring smiles everywhere you go don't you? thank you!
Has it really be 7 years since this song came out....? It's crazy, it's so good and this version is still the one engraved in my memory ❤️

If you were jumping like that the whole time, your energy alone has my respect.
Yeah, same! Also I absolutely love your profile picture.
OMG That voice, that tone, god bless you, I love it.
Super wonderful
You sir, deserve a cookie !
You're too awesome, go on on this level of pure epicness!!
UNREAL!!!!!
11 years later... still listening to this. Such an amazing cover.
Great song as always.
Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody
Marcus Honeybone Yes! I was thinking of suggesting Bohemian Rhapsody to Peter. I think he would have a blast with it :D
Lyrics:
Hold on to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave (wave) is stringing us along
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble-it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. Oo-oo-oo-oo [2x]
Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aa-aa-aa-aaaaaa [4x]
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
(Come on!)
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo. Ao-oo-oo-oo [4x]
Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aa-aa-aa-aaaaaa [4x]
could you do "hey brother" by advicii or have you already?
+Maegan N. Jones I don't think he has.
Just want to say, Home was the song my wife picked for our newborn. We love your version even more and it is the version we play for her now. Her big sister dances to it every day too. Thank you so much for the great work and keep it up!
Every new song I hear makes me literally gasp right when it starts.. This is unbelievable. Wow.
That was 192 heads at the end! Incredible! Great cover!
Did you really count them or is that just a guess? xD
I used simple multiplication. I multiplied the length of one side by the other. You should have learned that in third grade. Just saying.
Yeah, I realized that after I had already posted it and didn't realize it was a joke. My bad.
Actually there are 12 different heads in the end :) Peter just copied them up to 192.
Yeah. It's still probably felt like that number of heads while he was producing it.
I would kill to see you do Frozen, "Let it Go" and Regina Spektor, "The Call"
Yes! The Call!
same
His wife has a Let It Go video.
I Would LOVE it if you do "Raging Fire" by Phillip Phillips and "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" by Fall Out Boy !
"Be carful making wishes in the, dark dark, can't be sure when they've hit there, mark mark" :)

Please do gone gone gone by the same person
I was going to ask the same thing,
Like this comment if you think Peter should do Gone gone gone,
I love that song ***** do it. It would be amazing.
could you do "7 years" by lukas graham? that would be an awesome cover
:)
That was Amazing!!!! Could you possibly do "We built this city" by jefferson starship or "Jukebox Hero" by foreigner?
i know im late, but i just wanna say thank you for having your manager message my chorus teacher last year, we arranged this version for my friend who had passed away. this was her favorite song.
again, thank you so much for hooking us up with the arrangement. it really means a lot to me. i couldnt be more grateful for having remembrance of my friend this way.
God bless
How come people like him exists! That was so WOW!
Has Phillip Phillips seen or heard this version? He would b very impressed!
It's so beautiful! How about "coming home"?
peter that moment when you showed so many you(s), did you record them one by one?
I listened to this song ALL the time as a kid. If I could choose a childhood song it would be this one and you did an amazing job singing it.
This song has a special place in my heart because this is one of last the songs and artists my dad became attached to before he passed away in 2013.
Can you please do "Gone, Gone, Gone?"
Can you do Gone, Gone, Gone? pwease?
I SECOND THIS
Ty S Or even Raging Fire :D
***** yeah man definitely
this is the one you should watch when you are depressed
My favorite song of his. Been listening to this a lot lately, with all the bad things in life, this is one of the things that keeps me sane. thanks peter. Keep working hard, "don't pay no mind to the demons."
No matter how much I feel down, your singing always brings me up!

Carry On My Way Ward Son by Kansas
YES!
cade aponick yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss*breath in*sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss pleasee
He did
Peter Hollens, you are a very talented singer! I love love love you!!!!!!!
This song and "Some Nights" are the two songs that always make me feel better when I'm down :)
"Deliver Us" from The Prince Of Egypt movie
Can you do 'light em up" by fall out boy
Probably should have put "banging on wood" instead of "wood banging." The latter does not sound right.
Wood banging sounds dirty. Banging on wood does not. I know it sounds like I'm a pervert but I don't want it to sound like Peter is.
True neither do but to me that ;) he put after "wood banging" does not really help.
Ever thought about that this might be some sort of... intended? A bad pun?^^
My mom loves this song. It's what got her through our first few months in GA and made her feel better. I love your rendition of it. It's absolutely beautiful!
This is my favorite Phillip Phillips songs. HE DID AMAZING

Damn, Peter I only recently started following you. I want to thank you for bringing your talent to all of us. Just listening to you on a good or bad day changes the day for the better. Keep up this amazing work, you will go far.
He should so the song say something
You Got A Little Josh Groban In You
Demons by imagine dragons or Run by Pink
A lot of people like to flaunt the little bits of talent they have. I love how you humbly show some of the most amazing talent I have ever seen/heard!
I'm not Crying... You're Crying

Peter has some amazing talent. Think I found my new favorite artist. Just amazing.
Mesmerizing watching the singing and 'sound effects' :)

Your vision is AMAZING. Don't ever give up on your dreams. I would love to hear you cover HOME by Marc Broussard....
