Damn that algorithm. I just finished this week ending my 13-year relationship with the first love of my life. We lived together for 3 years and went through a lot. Then RUclips recommends this video to me. I used to listen to "Black" in my because of unrequited love. Today, I realize it's much stronger than I could have imagined.
My ex name was Black. We made music together one day it came on and I fKN sobbed. Betrayal trauma ghosted after 18 years. I sang it but haven’t uploaded yet. Maybe in a week or two. This was awesome. I did it on guitar and piano. I’ll decide later. It hurts like fck
Brother. Two weeks ago I had 20 years and 2 children. I'm sorry for your loss. I had my deepest cut with my first love when I was 14 and when I was 18 she broke up with me for some spaz. But Cat Stevens already sang "the first cut is the deepest". Cheer up my friend. There will be good days again. I recommend Chester Bennington, Pearl Jam and of course the Foo Fighters. After every fall, you get up again at some point. No drugs just music 😘
I lost my Dutch girlfriend back in ‘92. I played this song on repeat for over a week…….shed bucket loads of tears. Still love Pearl Jam, especially this song 🖤
I cried listening to this song after finally listening to the lyrics. I had no reason other than understanding how sad it was and feeling the emotions Eddie probably went through singing it.
Dude, don’t give some random equation so much credit. Your taste is what ultimately brought this music to you. All it’s doing is riding off of what Spotify has perfected for years. That is, recommending you (the user) other artist or songs that have a very similar “vibe” as all the stuff you gravitate towards anyway. So yeah after putting it like that I guess I’ll get down and worship the almighty Al Gore Rhythm 🙌🏼
Grunge comes from the light at the end of the tunnel. One must know death to feel life. :p XD kidding. Real music is timeless; to sing it again, is to bring the past forward again.
Wow !!! This is not an easy song to sing , hardly any Eddie Vedder song is. You didn’t imitate , and so beautifully and in a controlled way. Respect ! 🫡
For the umpteenth time, we have here a huge interpretation. What a careful and controlled tone of voice!!! What good air management when singing!!! Singing and playing the guitar simultaneously is difficult in itself, and it becomes more complicated when doing so to sing with such professionalism and perfection. Thank you very much for another sensational gift for the ears, teacher. All the best!!! 😁😁😁🖐 Por enésima vez, tenemos aquí una descomunal interpretación. ¡¡¡Qué tono tan cuidado y controlado de la voz!!! ¡¡¡Qué buen manejo del aire al cantar!!! Cantar y tocar la guitarra simultáneamente es difícil de por si, y se complica más al hacerlo para cantar con tanta profesionalidad y perfección. Muchas gracias por otro sensacional regalo para los oídos, maestro. ¡¡¡Un saludo!!! 😁😁😁🖐
I’ve heard this song enough times it doesn’t bring a tear to my eye anymore, but you sure did. Incredible work, thank you for sharing your voice with us.
I have long been a PearlJam fan. My wife just bought me a hat like one I had in my late teens from a concert. The black and yellow. Hard to find. I just got it. And then this! Great soul. Great cover!!
I'm absolutely thrilled to have stumbled upon your channel! Your performances are truly inspiring. I think this channel will explode in a short time if you continue uploading more videos, and maintain this austere and at the same time simply dazzling style. Your intonation is remarkable, and the way you maintain composure while singing, especially through complex sections or moments that call for an emotional crescendo, is impressive. Your mastery of vocal fry adds a unique texture to your music, and the audio quality of your recordings is outstandingly clear. Keep up the fantastic work, and I would love to see more videos, maybe a rendition like 'Cats in the Cradle', similar to the cover by 'Ugly Kid Joe' of Harry Chapin's classic." NOTE: I'm curious about the microphone you use for capturing both your guitar and vocal audio with such clarity. It would be great to get some insight from you on that.
Thanks, man. I really appreciate that! And I'm happy the channel found you. I really have no idea where it will go. I'm just putting out the videos and hopefully they find their way to even more people eventually. Interesting that you mentioned Cat's in the Cradle. I just finished an arrangement of that and it will come soon! The mic I use is a humble Zoom H4 as the audio interface. It's just a fraction out of frame in front of me (I prefer not to have the mic in frame). I do all the mixing, compression, reverb, etc afterwards. The guitar and vocals are on one track - 100% live - so I have the mic positioned higher to get a clearer vocal sound. Hope this helps. Cheers!
@@rivercrombie Great my friend! It will undoubtedly be of tremendous help to me to understand the settings you use for your recording. And what an incredible coincidence about "Cats in the Cradle." I eagerly await your version, while I continue enjoying your videos and learning from your technique. In fact, I couldn't agree more with what @brandenhart mentions in the comments: "Just want to make sure you know you are inspiring people to pick up and play...". Wish you all the best.
Sheets of empty canvas Untouched sheets of clay Were laid spread out before me As her body once did All five horizons Revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed Has taken a turn Oh, and all I taught her was everything Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands Chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything Oh, the pictures have All been washed in black Tattooed everything I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter So, why do I sear? Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can drop away? And now my bitter hands Cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have All been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Turned my world to black Tattooed all I see All that I am All that I'll be, yeah I know someday you'll have a beautiful life I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why? Why? Why Can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
Goosebumps. This is the first cover I've seen of this song that does justice to the original while also bringing something fresh. The simplicity is wonderful. Thanks.
The difference between other content creators and this man is pure emotion. He feels all of what he sings. My favorite music content on this platform most of the time the cover is better than the original. Even some of your originals deserve to be covered. Simply the best. Keep it up. .
Oh boy, what a cover!!! The best I've heard in a long time. Everything just fits and you really feel the song. Subscription is out! I saw the version for Cornell. Eddie's added "come back" at the end, which he only sniffs from the third time on, fits perfectly❤❤❤
Love your voice man. I would love to hear your take on "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town". Your Down in a Hole vid made the hairs stand up. Just awesome. Thank you.
My favorite Pearl Jam song and thanks for the stellar cover. However, I still prefer your original music. That really moves me in deep ways. But covers and originals are not at odds, they're both part of your magic. Play on!
YES, YES, YES - Just dropped the tuning of my guitar for playing Nutshell by AIC - And now I found this phenomenal version of one of my absolute favourites. THANK YOU!
So good... 25 seconds in I was cursing at the screen. I had to go back and play it from the begining to not interrupt my own listening experience. Amazing. Every. Single. Song. I mean C'mon! If there's a song I like, I always check to see how you play it/ what chord voicing you use because it always sounds so good, and I want to improve my own playing. Your channel is like a modern day MTV Unplugged- Reminds me of the iconic performances by Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam.
Love this, another exquisite cover and you don’t shy away from the really iconic, tricky tracks where many would fear to tread! Inspiringly excellent, (so much so, I don’t even mind that by comparison I’m reminded that I myself am very much in my infancy of learning to play-as you show so clearly what’s possible-if only I had a speck of your talent too!) Superb! 🙏🏻❤️🎶🤘✨
That was a beautiful cover of an amazing song. Funny I started playing & singing this song last night and your gorgeous understated version gave me some great ideas. Going to see them in November in Sydney can’t wait. BTW I added this to my car playlist which has a very high standard of talent. Thanks for sharing your talent 🙏👍♥️
The fact this dude has less than 31k subscribers is an absolute travesty. RUclips needs to start pushing this mans channel way more than it apparently is at the moment.

I cried listening to this song after finally listening to the lyrics. I had no reason other than understanding how sad it was and feeling the emotions Eddie probably went through singing it.
The RUclips algorithm deserves an award for bringing my soul to your channel. Good Lord. Beautiful.
this!
I just found it too. Have you heard his cover of down in a hole by AIC? Haunting.

Just want to make sure you know you are inspiring people to pick up and play. And the stationary camera is so helpful in watching your style.
You're right! I started to play again after several months
got me back into it after a long while
So true. Picked up my acoustic after watching an AIC cover
I can’t say I’m not inspired to play, but I can definitely say I lack the talent 😂
@@jaquevius it’s the dream that matters.
I love that the grunge soul is not dead and continues to live on in some incredible people like you.
Grunge comes from the light at the end of the tunnel. One must know death to feel life. :p XD kidding. Real music is timeless; to sing it again, is to bring the past forward again.

This guy is melted butter!! So smooth!
Man - you're too good. Thank you for invoking some lovely grunge musical memories.

I love all of your work. It is inspiring, and just plain beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you for the nice comment! 🙏
Beautiful playing and singing. Thank you for sharing.
Cool right hand rhythm! Great cover. Not an easy song to sing!
you make the best acoustic covers on youtube, definitely

Nice addition to your catalog. Really love your playing, your voice and the songs you are covering and writing. Peace
Excellent, so well done as is all your work
One of my favourites to play acoustic. Love your arrangement.
Always covering the BANGERS! Thank you
Fantastic cover River!! You performed it beautifully and it sounds amazing!! Big thumbs up!! 👏👏✌️😃🎸🎶👍
This is my favorite song, brother. Not an easy one to do but you did incredible work as always. Thank you for this one.
Great cover! I always forget how perfect that song is and your rendition of it stays faithful to it while being your own performance. Cheers
Thank you for covering these songs. You’ve done the best covers I’ve seen without mimicking. This takes me back to high school. Well played sir.
My favorite pearl song one word beautiful.
Goosebumps and misty eyes. Excellent job!
Thanks, man!
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Oh, and all I taught her was everything
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So, why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can drop away?
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll be, yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why? Why? Why
Can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
Goosebumps. This is the first cover I've seen of this song that does justice to the original while also bringing something fresh. The simplicity is wonderful. Thanks.
You....and AFL....the best covers of this touching song... Well done.

Love this song! You play it beautifully 😊
Beautiful cover brother, thank you
Excellent! ❤
Perfect song
Oh boy, what a cover!!! The best I've heard in a long time. Everything just fits and you really feel the song. Subscription is out! I saw the version for Cornell. Eddie's added "come back" at the end, which he only sniffs from the third time on, fits perfectly❤❤❤
Wow 😮 amazing 👏 great great great! Easy lol, your gonna have me over here holding back tears 🤣
You owned this. So happy YT introduced me to your channel. Amazing!
Thanks! Great to hear YT recommended the channel!

You’re changing my life with these renditions.
Amazing job!
Very solid performance . Good guitar technique, Good steady rhythm, good timing in your singing. Good all around
Thanks, man!
@@rivercrombie what are you recording this with? One mic?
Love your voice man. I would love to hear your take on "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town". Your Down in a Hole vid made the hairs stand up. Just awesome. Thank you.
Possibly the best PJ cover ever. WOW
Really well done. Thnx for sharing.
Thank you! 🙏
Listened to several of your videos in a row. I'm just fascinated! Amazing performances!
Fantastic! Thanks for checking out the videos and your comment! Cheers.
I have listened to this frequently over the past 2 months and can say I like this version better than the original.
Thank you, man! I appreciate the kind words!
Incredible
I need your covers on a playlist mate they are brilliant. ❤
I would totally go on a road trip to watch a live show! These videos have a uniquely pleasant feel. Incredible performance(s)!
Beautiful
Beautifully done!
Awesome! Loved it!
Nice version bro, real slick! Love it!
My favorite Pearl Jam song and thanks for the stellar cover. However, I still prefer your original music. That really moves me in deep ways. But covers and originals are not at odds, they're both part of your magic. Play on!
When JHON WICK retires and starts to play GUITAR 🎸...❤ Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Awesome! Another great performance of one of my favorite songs. Keep up the great work!
solid covers man!
This is great. You are the musician I strive to be
Very cool....going to cover your cover for sure!! LOVE this!!!!
Hard song to sing. Solid job.
No words, perfect rendition. Thank you 🙏
YES, YES, YES - Just dropped the tuning of my guitar for playing Nutshell by AIC - And now I found this phenomenal version of one of my absolute favourites. THANK YOU!
Great to hear! Thanks, man!
I'm "down the rabbit hole" of RUclips on your channel. Beautiful covers! Keep up the fantastic work.
outstanding performance. Singing is fantastic, can understand every word and is incredibly soulful & technically spot on.
Thank you!
I know that's a very tough song to sing because of the unique voice of Eddie. But you nailed it man.. I wasn't expecting to be that good..
Thanks, man!
You're just really good man thanks for playing like that's is really beautyfull music grunge IS in my Heart
Thanks, man. I appreciate it! It's the music that has always stayed with me since I was 13 or 14. Cheers.

Great version of this song.
Thank you, my friend!
Love your voice, "I'm feelin you" 😂
Great vibratio, hy from Stuttgart, Germany
Oh, that's what the lyrics are. The song is more beautiful knowing the lyrics.
My absolute favorite song ever and you just made the best cover I've seen yet. Outstanding work man.
Amazing cover, great job!
Thanks, man!
Well done, Bravo.
