You were my sun, you were my earth But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no So you took a chance, made other plans But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance With you and me There'll never be Don't it make you sad about it? You told me you love me Why did you leave me all alone Now you tell me you need me When you call me on the phone Girl I refuse You must have me confused with some other guy The bridges were burned Now it's your turn, to cry Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river You know that they say somethings are better left unsaid It wasn't like you only talked to him And you know it (Don't act like you don't know it) All of these things people told me Keep messing with my head Should've picked honesty Then you may not have thought it You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance With you and me There'll never be Don't it make you sad about it?

To the person who made a comment about using falsetto. I am a singer and can tell you that falsetto isn't when guys sing in a "whispery tone" as most people think. It is when a guy sings above his "chest range" or their range in their normal voice and have to switch to "head voice." Women can't do falsettos because they have naturally high voices and sing above the bass clef, but they do have head voice to sing above their cheat range. But women can do the "whispery tone" that most people mistake as falsetto.
You're right about falsetto being when you have to sing not from your chest (can test quite easily but just going up in pitch until your voice has a slight dent in it). But yeah women can do falsetto...
That's not true at all. Women have head and chest voices just like men but most women have a natural connection between the two without a break like most men have. Falsetto is another word for a mans head voice which isn't necesarilly above his chest voice, but is a softer Lighter more flexible sound. I can go almost as low with my head voice as I can in my chest voice, and men can sing above their chest voice and modem register without using falsetto by mixing which is a technique that takes years to master. Jonny doesn't use any head voice or falsetto in this whole song. He can belt up to a C#5 without even mixing. Live though on cry me a river jonny will octave up the line "cry me a river" in a very mixed strong and trained head voice.
Who the hell told you people that falsetto is only a male thing? Both sexes can sing in falsetto - it is not 'male head voice', falsetto is nothing like head voice (it's a disconnected register for one). Falsetto does not have the depth and colour that head and chest voice have, and using it is generally just not a good idea.
Jonny I have been a big fan of your voice for years now..8+ years. Your voice still sounds killer on these cover tracks. I would try a different mixer tho, the guitars and effects are muddling up your beautiful sound! Just food for thought...
I’ve been saying that FOREVER! I also really want Jonny to cover “Wicked Games.” Jonny’s voice is the best, but the music industry has blackballed him from major labels.
Wow how weird I was just saying while searching this song is Jonny actually my favorite make singer and my immediate first thought was is he better than the weekend then I saw your comments haha a collab between those 2 would break music
I just listened to the original, and this is by far better to me. It doesn’t have those weird voice beats in it and makes it so much easier to listen too.
I love this cover, and I love Jonny Craig, but there's too much going on in here I feel like. There are parts where it sounds like several guitars going at once and it just gets lost with all that and Jonny's voice on top of it. It just gets jumbled at times in my opinion. Mainly in the chorus areas.
Yeah I thought the same. I always wanted this to get a studio recording and when this had came out I was like “wtf”. It’s like 5 Jonny’s all trying to sing louder and take over the song all at the same time and the guitars all just doing their own thing
The guitar is more than perfect... People need to listen to more than the the singers... They wouldnt have written half of their lyrics without the music to base them off of...
Ewok N' Roll Thought the same thing. Sounds like typical dog-shit quality from Artery Recordings. Very irritating. I could produce similar quality in garage band.
+Rikki-lea Ferraro Not to be rude ,but it being an acoustic track doesn't warrant a lack of production i get that all the fan girls and fan boys will defend it because its Jonny Craig... hes an incredibly talented singer however whoever produced this particular track is either incredibly incompetent ,or lazy. Audio Engineering is a Science and they good have done so much more to make this track sound more full. be able to emphasize on his voice instead the track sounds really dry and overall amateur. The amount of resources and production equipment a major audio engineer leaves no excuse for how mediocre the quality of this track is. I had to comment because i felt like you had to be a little educated after your smug comment on it being an "acoustic" track. the only thing Acoustic about this is a lack electrical amplification which means they should focused more on making it sound more full theirs no attack in the recording it sounds like the engineer was afraid to do anything with the signal to noise ratio. the guitar sounds monotonic in a bad way like they didn't even bother with double tracking which helps with centralization making it more "full" it gives it a surrounding feel which is incredibly important with as you say an "acoustic" track. i could go on about levels it doesn't sound mixed properly their is no balance in levels the engineer was just like meh equalizing who needs it. but all engineers are different in preferences in retrospect this producers preference in his recordings is trash.
So I really wanted to see Jonny Craig play and I was supper excited that I got to at south by so what. When he came on the only thing I could think was "wow this was a major disappointment" it just wasnt like I thought it would be. And he was an asshole. Like it killed me. I looked up to him for so long and I was in love with his music for so long, just to get disappointed :(
You're right man, there's just a lot going on. I was blown away when I saw him play this live, I loved it, I was just expecting to hear a cleaner better version.
Because its a different style of singing. A lot of R&B use falsetto. Theres a time and a place for it as well as belting it out. Jonny has the talent to do both. Also since it is an acoustic song that he is playing, it would blend nicely together.

This man's voice is insane! Seeing him live was just the icing on the cake.
Damn straight
❤
Oh my god some people are ignorant. Jonny knows what the fuck he is doing. He is nothing but soul. Are you even hearing him? Perfection.
Finally the official cover! No Ppl talking or beers pooping the the back!! Lol YAYY!!!! Loveee
omg this is the one of the best covers i have ever heard
Listen to his Marvin's Room cover. Waaaaay better
He did do good on this one
You were my sun, you were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance, made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance
With you and me
There'll never be
Don't it make you sad about it?
You told me you love me
Why did you leave me all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl I refuse
You must have me confused with some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn, to cry
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
You know that they say somethings are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him
And you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
Should've picked honesty
Then you may not have thought it
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance
With you and me
There'll never be
Don't it make you sad about it?
You told me you love me
Why did you leave me all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl I refuse
You must have me confused with some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn, to cry

Wrong, women can use falsetto as well.
Well, go do some research and stop listening to things you read on the internet.

I let this ride every so often and it’s so refreshing
i love this cover almost makes me wanna cry 😝 so touching
His voice is amazing and I now found my new favorite song.

+Lucy Vasquez I know im playin :D
MrKaidalen oh! Hehe. i knew that! 😁

Eric Pfeifer great English
TheUniversal mind 3 years later...
BUUUUUUUUUUURN!!!
This aged like wine
I remember being 14 and 15 singing this while my cousin played the geeter
Omg this cover is 12/10
Jonny I have been a big fan of your voice for years now..8+ years. Your voice still sounds killer on these cover tracks. I would try a different mixer tho, the guitars and effects are muddling up your beautiful sound! Just food for thought...
Don't do this to me man.
This comments 9 years old.
We're 2 years away from 20 years of dgd. Fuck bro. I want it to be 2010 again
Great cover
Imagine a Jonny Craig and The Weeknd collab ahhh!
I’ve been saying that FOREVER! I also really want Jonny to cover “Wicked Games.” Jonny’s voice is the best, but the music industry has blackballed him from major labels.
Wow how weird I was just saying while searching this song is Jonny actually my favorite make singer and my immediate first thought was is he better than the weekend then I saw your comments haha a collab between those 2 would break music
I’m still thinking about that
We couldn’t handle that much power!
@@brandoncastro6731 yes we could we need it
"Of Machines" back from the dead.....and now this ... !!! 2013 is a celestial year !
\m/
Waited so long for this
They have one together, it's short, but that's all there is. It's called "Desolate, the Conductor" by Woe, Is Me.
I don't know what you guys are talking about, this is amazing
I just listened to the original, and this is by far better to me. It doesn’t have those weird voice beats in it and makes it so much easier to listen too.
his voice is dope, i like this cover..
i absolutely love this...i love u j c
❤
Can't wait to see him on the voice
Omg badass :3 love it alot!!
Amazing
This is Jonny right here. :) who did the instrumental? That's dope too
I love this cover, and I love Jonny Craig, but there's too much going on in here I feel like. There are parts where it sounds like several guitars going at once and it just gets lost with all that and Jonny's voice on top of it. It just gets jumbled at times in my opinion. Mainly in the chorus areas.
Everything gets so fucking lost omg esp when jonny does his runs like wow.
You must be listening to this sober ...
Yeah I thought the same. I always wanted this to get a studio recording and when this had came out I was like “wtf”. It’s like 5 Jonny’s all trying to sing louder and take over the song all at the same time and the guitars all just doing their own thing
Disagree with you. The guitars were perfect
this is way better then the original, and when he preforms it in his own way. just makes it so fucking fantastic.
Goddamn. This is awesome. Fantastic guitar work too. :)
awesome cover :d
Jt is my man and Jc Is just as awesome.
Everyone else that's not an anybody can keep talking. Their work paid off, youre just a kid behind a computer!
this is great!!! i absolutely love tthis!!!
your voice is beautiful
Johnny Craig will forever have my respect and love. Perfection.
This is really good !
this is a good vocal cover but the mix gives me a HEADACHE
Love it!
Thanks. Love you too.
this is song is life. wow.
Perfecttttt
Yessss! Finally I get to hear this without all his friends talking in the background.~
ohmuhgawd... god this is perfect.
Soo good
he did two!!! on the woe is me album
It's been 12 years since I heard his music
yeah i think they are just doing it for a cd though. but dont quote me on that.
Yes, yes indeed.
I honestly thought this was a youtuber cover because of the production quality.
Does anybody know when/if these cover songs are gonna be on a downloadable album on itunes?!
Love
Holy fucking shit! This is amazing.
holy shit, the official cover is finally here and........AHH!! :D
That was intense....
i wud kill to sound half as good as this guy!
The guitar is more than perfect... People need to listen to more than the the singers... They wouldnt have written half of their lyrics without the music to base them off of...
were can i buy this? i wantttttttt!
Jonny I think you may know my brother. His name is Taylor Gregg. Idk if you do but I think I remember him meeting you somewhere
Need this on Spotify :c
Please do a cover song for Hello by Adele.
is there a hard copy cd of all these songs anywhere for purchase?
jonny
this is where i cry...
We are playing with Jonny Craig at Peabodys in Cleveland, OH on March 27th. Hit us up for tickets cheap ;)
This is how heavens soundlike
Listen to this and JT's version at the same time, it's a trip.
I heard about the Voice deal... The Blake Shelton, Jonny Craig duo? That would have been ratings.
I like this but I loved the original cover! Wish that got a real recording
Who produced this? They should be slapped, production is a mess
It's a live recording no studio magic
Sir Weaves Alot He's singing the main parts and backing himself up at the same time...there's only one Jonny Craig...it's not a live recording.
Ewok N' Roll Thought the same thing. Sounds like typical dog-shit quality from Artery Recordings. Very irritating. I could produce similar quality in garage band.
have you never heard an acoustic track
+Rikki-lea Ferraro Not to be rude ,but it being an acoustic track doesn't warrant a lack of production i get that all the fan girls and fan boys will defend it because its Jonny Craig... hes an incredibly talented singer however whoever produced this particular track is either incredibly incompetent ,or lazy.

OMG NO YOU PERF LITTLE
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Amazing voice but to much in the background

Im a fan of Jonny but I laughed hard LOLOLOL

Does someone know who plays the guitar? It's not Kurt Travis, is it?
2019?
2020 during COVID 19 pandemic

My friend Tyler, Told about you. Your fucking great. (:
FINALLY!!!! *-------------------* omg.
Fuck yeah
So I really wanted to see Jonny Craig play and I was supper excited that I got to at south by so what.

still good

Did you just recently discover good music?
Wow
Does anyone know where to find tabs for this certain? ?
Version*
+Corvo Attano tbh it should be easy enough to tab but if I'm not mistaken it's tuned a half step down or something
Oh my god im so excited right now o_o
I was tired of hearing that shitty live video with the people screaming in the background xD
Can someone post the tabs paaleeeaassee
His voice is better then Justin Timberlake's voice :)
really?
he's coming to brisbane and I'm tossing up whether or not to buy tickets :D
would you say it wasn't worth it..? :(
OMG!!!
Jonny Fucking Craig!
The stripped back version of this that he's performed live in the past was brilliant. But this? The production is an absolute mess.
Disappointing.
I wanna see Justin Timberlake cover one of Jonny's songs now.
REALLY?! :O
Still, two different songs by two different artists, how can you even compare?
Holy shit ! Its fuck amazing - Jonny fucking Craig !
can somebody please explain this macbook scam thing..?
