I can't be the only person who gets a bit teary eyed when I listen to this. He sings with so much emotion and the band is just playing so well and jwkfkwnf
Hannah, every time i listen to this i think of the ones i have lost throughout the years, his voice brings on so many emotions both good and bad, he has so much talent along with the rest of the band, teary eyed every time but gosh is it worth it
I saw a concert of them on TV and their performance of this song was out of this world, then I go listen to the album version and was quite disappointed. Worse yet, I can't find that concert I originally saw anywhere. They really need to figure out how to get their musicianship through to their albums instead of overproducing to the point of sounding generic.
@@slade3156 i am confusion, also what cheese is best for making mac and cheese. Im thinking of putting a jamaican twist on it and adding jerk chicken. Oo delicious
Side note: I love how this version of the song completely changes the meaning for me. The original has a light and upbeat feeling, but this version is so emotional and visceral. Loved this band years ago, still do.
YESS NOBODY REALLY TALKS ABOUT HOW THE MEANING COMPLETELY CHANGES. Insanity. This version is so much more powerful, it completely and entirely speaks to you. In a sense that it is mind controlling you, but at the same time not. It's like a good book with a sad ending, happy, sad. But extremely good. Like over the top good, this is one of the only songs you can say that about.
i feel the original so viscerally already that this version just feels like im listening to it from a few rooms away while im locked in the bathroom crying. leaves a little extra tear in my heart.
Sometimes i just lay in my bed with my headphones on and my eyes closed and listen to songs like this. Songs that sound so beautiful and have so powerful lyrics which hurt me inside and remind me of old days but also make me feel good in a way i cant describe
this song just makes me feel like i'm slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean remembering everything that happened during my life and regretting everything. Just me? Ok.
I don’t think anyone understands how much this version of the song means to me. I need to be able to listen to this at all times. My favourite song for the last few years.
I love their acoustic renditions. When 2020 covid happened, I was so happy they did an online production of their entire first album and it made them love them even more. That year was rough for me bc I lost multiple people and that was one of my best memories of that year. Thanks for sharing your light guys❤️
When i was young,i always heard someone said music is the cure for a broken soul. Im 32 years old now living in hard life.this is one of the song that hits my soul to the core.this is the cure i need..
I feel that man. Lots of hurt souls out there find comfort and common ground in music like this. This song always brings me to tears in a way that's hard to explain. I feel pain yet a hope for a change for the better. Hope you're being treated kindly by life, and you're doing well jim
Man, this band is so underrated. I swear, you have songs like Anaconda and Booty hitting the Hot 100 on Billboard.....and then you have bands like this, that are actual artists. Songs/lyrics with meaning, melodies that aren't generic, and vocals that aren't filtered with autotuned....and yet they aren't able to hit mainstream as much as they deserve. I hope it happens for their sake, but I'll always love this band!
they r signed by "fuled by ramen" (where paramore "started") which is a sub of warner (so it looks more hipster-ish) and they are going to a big radio stations concert in seattle in dec. i promise you after dec you will hear them on the radio.
Kills me everytime. This whole song. Everything. It’s the beauty life uses to break you with every day you breathe. The ugliness you escape by a hairs breadth and all that you can’t deny.
Nikita Shah I don't understand how it gets better with each viewing. And when he's backing out of the cave and hits that note, I can't even breath! So much perfection.
***** Hahah yeahh that's my favorite part tooo. ugh. haven't seen them live yet and i've been a fan since the start :/ i feel like sameer would be brilliant live.
OMG i'm in tears too! i don't know how to go on. like this is just so immaculate. and OMG you need to see them live. SAMEER. it will change your life. I saw them in Boston and it was honestly one of the better experiences of my life.
This band has so much meaning for me. It makes me so emotional. Their music reminds me of better times. It has so much power. We love and support you. Thanks for all you guys do.
I was playing this song for an hour or 2 now with lots of overthinking and wanting to cry and imma do it over and over again, his voice is HEAVENLY!! god bless us all during this hard time💞💞and big thanks to doctors
Hello, I'm a 13 year old boy from Bangladesh. My younger brother has dengue and he is admitted in the ICU, my mom is also very sick but she has to stay with my brother at the hospital while I stay at home with my other relatives. My dad stays abroad so I basically don't have anyone to talk to. I'm listening to this song on repeat and just crying at the "when the seasons change" part. This song has been helping me get through life
I HAVE WATCHED THIS 20 TIMES AND COUNTING AND IT IS JUST CRAZY HOW RELAXING AND HEAVELY THEY PLAY TOGETHER AND HIS VOICE! I HAVE TO HOLD BACK CRYING......WHAT THE??
this song is so beautiful. I just list my husband of almost 21yrs. may 1st.2016 our life was finally coming together and the dream of owning of 1st house was gonna come true May 27th. when I hear this song I think about him and how unfair it is that he was taken from us so early. he was 43 and we have 2 girls 13 and 15 . now we're all alone by ourselves without our rock,our whole world. I dedicate this to him. Stewart Camp we miss and love you so much.
I fall harder and harder for this band with every In The Open session. They're so beautiful, and I really liked how they worked with the cave in this one. So in love haha
Sometimes you find a song that you listen to in your room, laying alone on your bed blasting through your headphones and it shakes you throughout your core and you think about certain someone while doing so. It's been a while since I felt this way hearing a song, thank you so much for this.
I don't even know what to do with my feelings after hearing this. I'm so enamored with this song, with his voice, the vibe, the everything! I've heard the band before and was never one way or the other, but after this song, I'm digging into anything I can find of them.
There’s certain songs that pull unwittingly on your heart strings and bring involuntary tears to your eyes, no matter how you feel or how hard you try to hold it in; you can feel the emotion so strong and so tangibly you could cut it with a butter knife. That’s how this version of this song makes me feel.
Antes, durante e depois dessa quarentena, eu sempre estarei aqui, porque amo essa banda e sou apaixonada nessa voz que me trás paz e encantamento. Quanto talento junto! Beijos do Brasil. 🇧🇷
Realmente Micheline, é tudo de bom. Desde os instrumentos até o coral. Difícil de encontrar sensações especiais nas musicas de hoje. Muitas vezes temos de recorrer ao passado, onde o mundo era outro, literalmente.
A sign of a good band: The acoustic rendition of a song is better than the album version.
Matthew de Paula A sign of a good band that needs to get a better producer
Matthew de Paula also that they recognize the acoustics of that area they are in.
Bisi Dean im doing that now :)
Matthew de Paula EXACTLY! FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE SAYS IT!
No way. YTG killed it in both renditions. It is like Queen; sometimes the live version is just that good.
I can't be the only person who gets a bit teary eyed when I listen to this. He sings with so much emotion and the band is just playing so well and jwkfkwnf
Ur not the only one 😭😭😭
Just started to cry when I realised how much I missed them and his voice 😭😍❤️
I feel you it makes me miss my other half I usually look at pictures of him and cry while listening to this song. Pure talent
Yes indeed
Hannah, every time i listen to this i think of the ones i have lost throughout the years, his voice brings on so many emotions both good and bad, he has so much talent along with the rest of the band, teary eyed every time but gosh is it worth it
9 years later and I'm still stuck on this great performance
just "found" it and dont even wanna know if theyve been here live and i didnt see them
same here hahahah It's my favorite song 🥰
Same
Same! Will always be one of my favorite performances
It's been 10 years already?! And 6 months since your comment. Dang.
you can tell they are genuinely talented, because this version is insanely better than the album version.
Waaaaay better

@@Meta-Drew you are wrong
Yepppp. I enjoy the slight echo to the guitar.
Highly recommend driving with the windows down at night with this on...really makes you feel like the main character
This main character shits so annoying
@@slade3156 fr i think we are all our own main characters
literally did this last night and wow. it just does something to ya
Already done that. It's not a mood, it's magic and a different kind of vibe....
@@slade3156 i am confusion, also what cheese is best for making mac and cheese. Im thinking of putting a jamaican twist on it and adding jerk chicken. Oo delicious
Best version of this song. Hands down. This man’s voice is absolutely one of the best voices I have ever heard in my entire life. Just in awe
literally leagues beyond the original versions although i do love those too
My wife always said “what is this? This isn’t the real song” I said “you bet it is”
@@adamfacey5555hell yea. Nothing like this version. Nothing.
0:56 is the best moment, i'm in love
I second that statement.
thatminecraftgirl i third that statement
i fourth this statement.
+MangaWorld I fifth that statement
+MangaWorld I agree, I think it's the expert use of his diaphragm that gets me when he reaches that pitch
this song fills me with so much nostalgia and makes me feel so many emotions for some reason.
nostalgia for a song that's only 2 years old?
bitch please.
i mistyped. i meant it had a nostalgic sound and feel, not that it gave me nostalgia. it's hard to explain what i was trying to explain.
you're an idiot stop putting her down for expressing her emotions 15 people understood what you couldn't.
iownyouall4444 grow some first (;
Jewel Natasha that was a realllllyyyy good come back.
and when the seasons change , will you stand by me?

They seriously need to make a desperate 'In The Open' album because it's so beautiful, especially Cough Syrup and Islands
just download them all turn them into an album on itunes.
Ten years later and it's still one of my favorite songs
Lets take a moment of silence for the people that still haven’t found this
Right
F
u seem so sweet
i'm glad i did i while a go when 2020 started
I show this to everyone I love
Sometimes i just lay in my bed with my headphones on and my eyes closed and listen to songs like this. Songs that sound so beautiful and have so powerful lyrics which hurt me inside and remind me of old days but also make me feel good in a way i cant describe
You just accurately described much of my life.
What other songs do you have that could give us this feeling. Give us a list if you’re trying to bless lives
I do that every night
Euphoric
@@Digii28 try hozier and kaleo!
This song persuaded me to quit my terrible job and move clear across the country. Power of the words and music. Beautiful song.
Congratulations! 🎉
You're inspiring. Hope you're doing well on your journey
I could hear to Sameer's voice forever and never get tired. It's heavenly.
His voice is like heaven.
deborah manzur Oh hey Daria, I'm glad you like my favorite band too, that's why you're the best. lol
deborah manzur ***** his voice IS heaven :D
this song just makes me feel like i'm slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean remembering everything that happened during my life and regretting everything. Just me? Ok.
i feel u
You dropped this >>👑
Pick it up and while you're at it, wear it with your head up🥺
The only dreams I remember.
You alright G? Is everything ok 🤴?
Listen to my playlist on here I do that also but with all of those songs

this acoustic sessions are breathtaking. this band is fucking amazing.

True
Legit the only reason I’m listening to this song lmao
and “cuz i’m a young man after alllll” ahhh. perfection
I see it everywhere on tiktok so yeah i definetly do, lol
"And when the penis hangs"
One of the greatest vocalist of our generation. Period
Totally underrated ❤
Good song.
This is keeping me sane during quarentine
I don’t think anyone understands how much this version of the song means to me. I need to be able to listen to this at all times. My favourite song for the last few years.
Hey, just replying for you to come back and listen to this masterpiece :)
I love their acoustic renditions. When 2020 covid happened, I was so happy they did an online production of their entire first album and it made them love them even more. That year was rough for me bc I lost multiple people and that was one of my best memories of that year. Thanks for sharing your light guys❤️
I've never heard heaven until I've heard their in the open sessions
When he hits that long note right at the end.... Ughhhhh, I got chills man. This version is so good.
one of the best songs I've ever heard hands down
Been 7 years and I still come back to this song
I want to marry his voice
+Sydney Crews marry this 8========D
+Dominus976 No.
Wasn't askin.
Just no.
+Mimbie Your mom said, "yes"...
Their talent is so raw and incredible. His voice gives me chills and this isn't edited. It's so hard to find good talent in this generation of music
When i was young,i always heard someone said music is the cure for a broken soul. Im 32 years old now living in hard life.this is one of the song that hits my soul to the core.this is the cure i need..
Yes all that
I hope your doing well Jim

Love and light brother 🤙☀️
Look after yourself Jim and keep going. You’ll get there.
I don’t even listen to the album version anymore. This is the only version. Gives me chills everytime
We need an in the open album 😂❤️
But really. THis makes me enjoy the album 3 times more
Shipping Trash Can seriously.
I came here just to write this. :)
Words can't describe how talented this band are. Just incredible lyrics and musicianship. Long may it continue.

Well said!
AMEN!
OMG agree with you 💙😨
Look here buddy. Imma keep it short and quick. You pretentious af. Get outta here boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
this song makes so emotional. i’m really out here crying
we definitely need this on Spotify 🥺
i get chills with every note this is so beautiful
If they could make the whole album this way, I'd be in pure bliss.
Kills me everytime. This whole song. Everything. It’s the beauty life uses to break you with every day you breathe. The ugliness you escape by a hairs breadth and all that you can’t deny.
You guys sound so good out in the open. Much better.
Couldn't agree more.
Does anyone know what kind of mic Sameer is using in this video?
Kyle Marler the cave
harrison2755 I laughed a little too hard at your reply.
Kyle Marler none
Anyone else watch this everyday?

I'm probably the reason why this has so many views I watch this video on the daily
Minimum one time a day XD
same at least 3 times a day
SAMEEE
I watch this every night, I call it worship😌
Let’s all vibe
This video has been living rent free in my head for nearly a decade.
I always tend to love your in the open sessions more than the original...so raw and beautiful
This one is sooooo much better than the album version right??
i die. and i almost cried from how beautiful and perfect this is. sameer, i just can't deal with how flawless you are.
I actually did cry towards the end. His voice and emotion just set me off into tears. So beautiful!
*****
seriously agreed. he is basically perfection in a man. its just too much lol
Nikita Shah
I don't understand how it gets better with each viewing. And when he's backing out of the cave and hits that note, I can't even breath! So much perfection.

Hahah yeahh that's my favorite part tooo. ugh. haven't seen them live yet and i've been a fan since the start :/ i feel like sameer would be brilliant live.

again again again again again again again again again again again again again bring these back!!! pleeeeeaaassee
This sounds so much better than the album version. Gives so much more attention to how pretty his voice is
I agree! They need an in the open album so I can add this to my Spotify playlist 😩💗
DUDE, I WENT TO HEAVEN AND I CAME BACK
THIS IS PLAIN MASTERPIECE, for real this is one of the best acoustic version of any song ever made
Totally agree!
This should be on iTunes! I love this live even more than the original!
I was thinking the same thing!
This band has so much meaning for me. It makes me so emotional. Their music reminds me of better times. It has so much power. We love and support you. Thanks for all you guys do.
I saw them live some years back and wow, his voice was just stunning IRL.

after listening to this song hundreds of times, u still get goosebumps every time i hear ‘and when the seasons change’
I love the way he hits that note when he goes "I'm a young man after all ooooooooooo"
I HAVE WATCHED THIS 20 TIMES AND COUNTING AND IT IS JUST CRAZY HOW RELAXING AND HEAVELY THEY PLAY TOGETHER AND HIS VOICE! I HAVE TO HOLD BACK CRYING......WHAT THE??
They are my favorite band
now 25, have loved this video, song, and band since 16 🤍🩷
this song is so beautiful. I just list my husband of almost 21yrs. may 1st.2016 our life was finally coming together and the dream of owning of 1st house was gonna come true May 27th. when I hear this song I think about him and how unfair it is that he was taken from us so early. he was 43 and we have 2 girls 13 and 15 . now we're all alone by ourselves without our rock,our whole world. I dedicate this to him. Stewart Camp we miss and love you so much.
He will always be there for you, just listen to music and believe in love :))
No other song can reproduce the vibe you get when he says "and when the seasons change"
i just love this i cant explain this anymore
Finding something so beautiful after 7 years ... Found a treasure.
This song gave me goosebumps! This guy can sing flawlessly. 🎉
what an outstanding performance 😯😍👏
These In The Open sessions they do give me life!
I fall harder and harder for this band with every In The Open session. They're so beautiful, and I really liked how they worked with the cave in this one. So in love haha
could you imagine bein on a hike and hearing this masterpiece echo through the forest hills. magnificent.
That is not the music we deserve but the musoc we need
3:45 omfg best part
Niall Lover LOL I was just thinking the same thing!!!
+Niall Lover I AGREE SO MUCH
+Niall Lover i was about to write the same time XDDD
Agreed
+notzoee In this case to follow the light at the end of the tunnel it was a good idea!!!
this song, this voice gives me life
THIS IS HEAVEN
In my opinion this one is the best of their "in the open" versions. Love it!
Can’t sleep tonight. This song was the first suggestion I saw! How perfect.
It's just beautiful isn't it?
"...and when the seasons change" I'm shook, slay my life.
Was blessed to actually find this randomly thank you god
This song still gives me goosebumps! Takes me right back to college, thank you for the nostalgia ♥️
Sometimes you find a song that you listen to in your room, laying alone on your bed blasting through your headphones and it shakes you throughout your core and you think about certain someone while doing so. It's been a while since I felt this way hearing a song, thank you so much for this.

His vocals are life.
This song makes me feel safe
ok
Absolutely love this. The In the Open videos are raw and still sound amazing. What a great talent these guys are.
im obsessed with this song omg
Steve Knight She likes the SONG, she didn't say anything about the video.
Steve Knight WTF Steve? lol
Steve Knight lol ok
***** trueeeee
I can definitely understand your obsession....this song gives me the chills.
just the start already sent chills to my entire humanity
“And when the seasons change” = goosebumps
Musically the most talented and soulful band out right now
Alright it's been 10 years let's get this on Spotify
It’s already emotional for me because my late fiancé loved this song
I know that this is a bit late, but I hope you are feeling okay today, and you had a good day ❤
@ thanks love
I hope you’re doing okay. The moments you shared with the song will always live, stay strong
