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 🙌🏼
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 😘
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 ! 🫡
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 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.
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.
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!!! 😁😁😁🖐
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. .
Your timing is unreal....it is so close to dragging, but somehow it makes me anticipate every note and lyric. Outstanding!!!! 1:40 to 2min gave me goose bumps. Beautiful rendition.
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.
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.
HO-LY SHIT! Amazing cover! Really impressive! RUclips algorithm recommended me your Simple Man cover and it was great. Then I clicked on this one and daaamn! You rock man! New fan here. 👏👏👏👏👏
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.
Ver os versos finais dessa musica... cara nesse momento fica claro o quanto Eddie deixou o sentimento ir além... e vc meu amigo interpretando essa canção fez com seu tom, impondo a mesma caracteristica, ficou bom demais.
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!
Again, another newcomer to your channel. I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in someone else's sky... but why can't it be mine. Such great song choices, each one better than the last. Thanks for sharing.
Damn, what a great cover of, in my opinion the greatest PJ track of all time! Vedder’s hard to sing well, and this song especially. Lovin the covers of my fav 90’s jams and really diggin’ the originals as well. I’ve been at home sick for the past 4 and a half years, and tonight is the first night I’ve felt like picking up the guitar since. Keep it on man. Great licks on the six accompanied by a fantastic voice 👊🏼🫶
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 🙏👍♥️
Mate, this is absolutely brilliant! I'm admittedly not a massive Pearl Jam besides their first three albums but regardless, you did this tune justice in spades, my friend! Your vocals in particular are excellent. I know the lyrics to this song but even then, with your clarity & delivery I was hanging on to every word you was singing! Videos like this also remind me that I really need to get back into playing guitar.
Thanks so much, mate! I appreciate it. I only ever listen to the first Pearl Jam album. It has a great atmosphere. Definitely pick up your guitar again! Cheers.
@@rivercrombie No worries, buddy! I've also listened to your Alice in Chains covers and once again you nailed 'em! Much more up my alley too because AIC is one of my favourite bands. Jerry Cantrell is a genius and can do no wrong in my eyes! Also this might be a silly question that I think I know the answer to but I'll ask anyway, it's been about 11 years since I last played or even picked up a guitar and I'm 32 now, is it too late to get back into the game? Just as a hobby/passion project?
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.
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.

@@Benarmar thanks for the words, man. Music is always helpful. We are going to make it!
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.
Love it fuck autotune!
Pearl Jam Ten was one of the best albums ever IMO. Back when music had instruments and emotion to it. I miss that era.
That album changed my life
This guy is melted butter!! So smooth!
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 ! 🫡

Concuerdo en todo. Impresionante.
Absolutely agreed 100%, simply FANTASTIC..!!..
Cool right hand rhythm! Great cover. Not an easy song to sing!
Basic guitar playing that is elite level. Perfect volume control in the whole song. Perfect vocal timing. Outstanding and perfect performance.
This is my favorite song, brother. Not an easy one to do but you did incredible work as always. Thank you for this one.
So much amazingness here, i love watching how smooth you change chords. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Excellent, so well done as is all your work
Nice addition to your catalog. Really love your playing, your voice and the songs you are covering and writing. Peace
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
I love that you've become a part of my algorithm. I look for all your videos 🤘🏻
One of my favourites to play acoustic. Love your arrangement.
Fabulous brother , truly you are one of the best ! J… Toronto
Goosebumps and misty eyes. Excellent job!

Fantastic! Thanks for checking out the videos and your comment! Cheers.
Keep coming back for this. Best cover I've heard of such a hard song to sing.
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.

@@rivercrombie Thank you 🙏
Amazing cover friend. All of them are great. I selfishly would love to see you cover a Days of the New song.
outstanding performance. Singing is fantastic, can understand every word and is incredibly soulful & technically spot on.
Thank you!

It’s flawless
Beautiful work man, I have seen a few of your videos and every one of them have amazed me. Thanks so much for sharing your talent

Thanks, man. I appreciate it! It's the music that has always stayed with me since I was 13 or 14. Cheers.
Beautiful cover brother, thank you
Wov! Love that song! Beautiful!
One of my favourite songs from the grunge era - an under rated and beautiful song that you do a great rendition of.
Subbed 🙌
Thanks, man! Yes, I agree. It's a really beautiful song. It's one of my favorites from the Ten album. Cheers!
Such a great song. Love your voice.
Love your covers, great sounding voice and guitar
Thank you!
A beautiful song sang in a beautiful way😊 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
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!
