You know you're a veteran of the industry and a musical genius if you've covered a song twice, in different genres, AND...Both are genuinely great in their own way.
I love how you have diversified the type of your covers in recent years, you haven't stayed in only rock/metal covers like back then. It's always nice to see new things.
Amen. I'm older than I care to admit, and I literally missed the school bus one day because the video to Final Countdown came up on MTV. Up to that point in my young life I'd never experienced anything more epic :).
I remember having to play this song in high school for pep band all the time. Every game we performed at, this song was always in the lineup. I got sick of it after a while, but if we had THIS version to play back then it would've been my favorite song we ever had. You really channeled your inner Hans Zimmer with this one, Jonathan! Straight into my epic playlist she goes. ❤ 🔥🔥🔥
This is a song that evokes good memories from my childhood, it's always been to my mind and memory, a perfect song. And you've made it better. Appreciate you man.
I remember when i was younger and watched the finals of a soccer game at a stadium, and as they walked down the field a epic version of the final countdown played, and the chills I had were unexplainable.
Your face after 10 seconds of singing.. damn.. that is what I call going all in! Holy mother of *insert deity of choice*... Epic indeed! Love the slower tempo, it really adds to the impact. Beautiful.. Well done 🤘
I love this version.The Final Countdown is one of my favourite songs since I was 7 years old.And this version is horribly perfect.Thanks,Jonathan for this epic masterpiece.
I've never seen such an accurate video title EVER. Jonathan keeps rasing the freaking bar!!! This is so powerful, emotional and inspirational. I need to go to the gym or something because DAYUM I AM HYPE 🗣🗣🗣
I still remember that when someone asked in the video for the Eye of the Tiger when you would do this cover and you said that you were not powerful enough, well it seems it is finally here (I'm talking about your solo version unless I missed it). Absolute an amazing cover man!!!!!
I don't know about what to sing next - but as much as I pre-saved this for Spotify I totally want just the instrumental version of this cause that alone is just awesome.
Absolutely fire, I love the progression of your voice throughout the years- keep it up man and I absolutely jammed to this. i’d say you embodied “epic” with this cover. 🔥🔥🔥
Wow so cool!! I'm with the brass nand in the musical school play this song nowadays and i'm so glad to see your epic cover right now! You're fantastic as always. Thank you!
One of my favourite memories of my family before it got complicated is this song playing in the car. We had a silly game we played called "The Pants Game" where you replaced one word of a famous film or book etc with the word "pants" (underwear to yall Americans) and its incredibly funny to a small child. So things like "Pants Wars: The Pants Strike Back" or "Lord of the Pants" My youngest sibling, maybe 4-6 at this time, had been quietly listening and we assumed not interrested in playing anymore. But then this song came on. and with some intense headbanging, out came "IT'S THE FINAL PANTS DOWN!" My stepfather nearly crashed the car laughing.
That's incredible! Love it when inspiration strikes at the best moment to make a funny. When I was younger, I was riding in a truck with friends and family on some bumpy road. We hit a big spot with enough speed to make me leave the seat for a second and I just exclaimed "holy!" And I swear that God's sense of humor, of which my real name originates, saw the perfect opportunity to insert a "ding" immediately after. I think its because the door got jostled and warned that it was open for a second.
Please don't get me wrong, I really love your cover songs and enjoy listening to them again and again. This is also a great cover but I just love your original songs even more. So if you ask "What should I sing next?", my answer would be: I would like to hear more original songs.
Whenever I listen to a catchy song... I search for the rock/metal version of it and most of such covers I've found in your artillery 🤘always loved your work and looking forward for more....You are absolutely Phenomenal ...🔥🔥🔥
I always love "epic" covers of songs and this is no different. Something that just gets you hyped, like a movie trailer or epic moment in a movie. I'd love to see you do some more Sonic songs sometime as well, keep up the great work!
klickt the like button at 0:30. Felt like a judge in Blind audition, when you hear the intro and then the singer starts to sing in a way that you never expected it would sound like, but you know at once, this one's golden. And Jonathan did not even start to sing at this point in the song :D:D. Now, having heard the whole song i just wish, that his voice would be more prominent over the music. I mean the music is awesome, but Johnathans voice is just godlike.
yeah, agreed. the mix on this one felt off. Enough so that I checked my EQ in case it had gotten knocked silly by the cat. loved the track, but his vocals felt like they were "behind" the music. front and center, please!
Chillingly good! I have never heard a good male metal version of If I Could Turn Back Time by Cher. But after getting the song stuck in my head after seeing Deadpool 2 I am sure it would be bloody amazing.
That was awesome! *Furiously trying to think of a song that I would love to hear as a metal version* Oh! Could you maybe do Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper?

I absolutely agree with you.
He's a true musical genius 😁
Yep
true
Facts
Where is the second cover of the song?
Massive drums? Check. Risers? Check. Horns? Check. Random string instrument? Check. Beautiful vocal grit? Check. This cover really does have it all.
im not sure what some of these words mean but yes
I would lie if i told you i didn't read this as "Beautiful vocal girl" as i was drinking my morning coffee and almost died. Thank you for the laugh.
You forgot synth pipe organ!
@@Yashi8384 JoYo is the best girl, clearly
Too bad he lipsynced the video.
If Two Steps From Hell and Jonathan Young collabed on a song. This is an amazing cover/rendition
I came to say this
The world would shatter from the awesomeness
I never get tired of Jonathan Young covering the same song twice in two different style.
I love how you have diversified the type of your covers in recent years, you haven't stayed in only rock/metal covers like back then. It's always nice to see new things.
To be fair, The Final Countdown was already epic. Now it is just more epicer
It’s Jonathan’s song now.
Not epicer…MAJESTIC!!! 🥰😍
Amen. I'm older than I care to admit, and I literally missed the school bus one day because the video to Final Countdown came up on MTV. Up to that point in my young life I'd never experienced anything more epic :).
Amen
Missed opportunity to reference Epica haha...
... Wait now I want JY to collab with Epica 😅
I swear, Jonathan is the lord of cover songs for at least a decade now
He is literally our modern day dnd bard
And this is his level 20 song
Props to everyone who voted in the poll that ended up being an almost exactly 50/50 split for metal/bard.
I can't decide if I like his covers or his originals more.
But whenever something comes out on this channel it brings me great joy!
*Everyone:* I don't think it's possible to make this 80's song sound even more epic.
*Jonathan Young:* Hold my beer.
Bah. We all know he drinks hard cider. Made from golden apples imported from Asgard. With a side of Olympian Ambrosia.
Is this going to be released on Apple Music
He will always find a way😎
Amen
This came out amazing man!!!! I would love to collaborate with you some day on an original Symphonic Metal song someday !! 🤘🤘
I remember having to play this song in high school for pep band all the time. Every game we performed at, this song was always in the lineup. I got sick of it after a while, but if we had THIS version to play back then it would've been my favorite song we ever had.
You really channeled your inner Hans Zimmer with this one, Jonathan! Straight into my epic playlist she goes. ❤
🔥🔥🔥
This one always ended up on the backburner for us. We almost never did it.
At this point, I don't even need to wonder if a Jonathan Young cover is going to be good or not. It just is. Every. Time.
This is a song that evokes good memories from my childhood, it's always been to my mind and memory, a perfect song. And you've made it better. Appreciate you man.
Ok, how more epic can it be?
...I stand corrected.
My thoughts exactly. "Isn't it already epic?" Boy was I wrong.
How much more epic can it get?
Jonathan: yes.
Literally took the words out of my mouth
I feel like I'm listening to a League Of Legends advert..but one of the good ones!
Jonathan never fails to deliver!!
I don’t understand why aren’t known and recognized worldwide… you have an amazing talent.
Why do I feel like I'm in the final battle scene?
Fantastic work as always, Jonathan!
*clicks play*
*is immediately blasted by awesomeness*
I remember when i was younger and watched the finals of a soccer game at a stadium, and as they walked down the field a epic version of the final countdown played, and the chills I had were unexplainable.
Your face after 10 seconds of singing.. damn.. that is what I call going all in! Holy mother of *insert deity of choice*... Epic indeed!

I love this version.The Final Countdown is one of my favourite songs since I was 7 years old.And this version is horribly perfect.Thanks,Jonathan for this epic masterpiece.
god, that voice gives me goosebumps each song you've done, love this version
WOW!! 🔥 This sounds like it should be closing out an epic movie of some sort. I love it! ❤
This is fabulous Jonathan! Thank you!
This song is epic it really needs to be featured in more movies.
For one minute I thought we had lost Jonathan's soul, but no, it came back to him right in time for the countdown. Awesome cover as usual!
I've never seen such an accurate video title EVER. Jonathan keeps rasing the freaking bar!!! This is so powerful, emotional and inspirational. I need to go to the gym or something because DAYUM I AM HYPE 🗣🗣🗣
I think we can all agree that we clicked on the vid thinking "how much more epic can it get?" And got humbled pretty hard
I still remember that when someone asked in the video for the Eye of the Tiger when you would do this cover and you said that you were not powerful enough, well it seems it is finally here (I'm talking about your solo version unless I missed it). Absolute an amazing cover man!!!!!
OMG!! That was so amazing!! Europe is my all time fav band! They’re still rocking and selling out concerts in Europe.
I saw Europe live in Göteborg last year and they still rock 🤘Incredible concert and this cover is AMAZING 😍😍😍
I don't know about what to sing next - but as much as I pre-saved this for Spotify I totally want just the instrumental version of this cause that alone is just awesome.
Absolutely fire, I love the progression of your voice throughout the years- keep it up man and I absolutely jammed to this. i’d say you embodied “epic” with this cover. 🔥🔥🔥
Three in a Row with Jonathan makin' this song an absolute BANGER!! Epic On, Jon!! 🔥🔥
This was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Wow so cool!! I'm with the brass nand in the musical school play this song nowadays and i'm so glad to see your epic cover right now! You're fantastic as always. Thank you!
YES! I was waiting for that high note. Bravo!
This is AMAZING so happy you did this cover, absolutely EPIC.
And this is truly epic, another great song for my playlist. Thanks Jonathan.
This is like Pirate of the Caribbean and the Final Countdown got together and produced this EPIC spine chilling song

This is definitely a reborn masterpiece. I applaud you sir for your ability to bring so much passion into this song

Я думала, что невозможно сделать эту песню эпичнее, чем она есть, но это... Просто невероятно прекрасно

This version of the song has a greater intensity to it than the original song by Europe in the 1980s. Most impressive.
Dramatic final boss moments engage! Awesome song!
I always love "epic" covers of songs and this is no different. Something that just gets you hyped, like a movie trailer or epic moment in a movie. I'd love to see you do some more Sonic songs sometime as well, keep up the great work!

The man made the anthem of every locker room somehow even better

Stay strong brother.
This is Very Cinematic, sounds like it'd be in a movie trailer.
This Is Making Me Think Of How The Sunrise Countdown Arc Is Gonna Be Animated When They Get There
Cant make a legendary song more epic than it already was.
This is what my entire wedding walked down the aisle to when I got married. It was a renaissance themed wedding. And it was epppiiic.
the final countdwn thank you so much best cover yet
This song always lent itself well to a big, climactic moment. This rendition of it is even moreseo.
Am I the only one who thinks the music is too loud compared to the singing?
Yeah you are
@@I_am_a_follower_of_christ Lol
Nah he isn't the only one
No i agree!
I got excited when I saw what song he was doing this time, was not disappointed.
Thank you for the epic cover.
Let's gooo!
That was awesome! *Furiously trying to think of a song that I would love to hear as a metal version* Oh! Could you maybe do Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper?
jon, this is your best performance ever without doubt
holy smoly doly roly that instrumental comes from 265500 million light years away
