I’m a palliative care Doctor and my patients find your voice in this song soothing, and makes them feel reassured because it’s not death that they fear. It’s not having anyone that cares when that time comes. It’s the fear of dying alone. But with you, Austin, and myself, we elevate that pain and send them off peacefully with a smile knowing that somebody cared!!!
@TaichX1138 I hope you've bought a pair of guitars and have been jamming with your daughter since you've posted this comment. Sounds like such a good way to bond!
your cover of this song is my go to for everything, for every feeling, for all my moments, from late at night tucking my sleeping babies in before going to bed myself, to looking out my window in the early morning, while the world's still quiet and still, remembering my younger sister and best friend, missing her and wishing she hadn't been taken at 17 by a drunk driver... always with head phones in lol, feeling so awe inspired, soaking in every second of tremendous perfection that is your voice sorry, I digress, this cover is very much part of my life's soundtrack. it brings emotions to surface that normally I forget I even had lol. beautiful. stunning. entrancing. u have a gift my friend, and its completely magnificent. thank u.
I'm sorry about your sister. Your comment almost made me cry. I know it's a sad topic but your words are really sweet and deep. I also have people that are now part of us and our energy, I listen to this song as a reminder that they are waiting for us :)
My boyfriend showed me this (cover) song a year before he died. This song dear to my heart. I played this exact version at his funeral. You have a gift dude. Your voice is gonna take you places. This is absolutely phenomenal. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Dear Anna, I am so sorry to hear about your boyfriend. No music or words can fill that hole back in. Sorry galls families are going through all this. Keep your head up my friend - Austin
The pain of death shall never fade, though it will forever be a reminder of the days spent together. And so, though I mourn for you and your loss, I will do not ask for an easing of your pain. I hope you are able to remember him and smile.
ACmusic, this cover has stayed with me since my teenage years. I'm a man now, but your voice has stayed with me since 2011, just know that you've inspired more people than you can imagine. Never stop giving
I first watched this in like 2011 and its 2019 now still gives me the same feeling listening to this.... Hope your doing well Austin and keeping up the good work :)
RUclips 2011: nope RUclips 2012: Not yet RUclips 2013: WTF No RUclips 2014: One Day RUclips 2015: Just a couple more years RUclips 2016: Almost there... RUclips 2017: So close RUclips 2018: Next Year RUclips 2019: Aight bois, let's start recommending this video.
@@BloodSweatAndMeth Thank you for the reply. It reminded me this beautiful version exists, and made me all warm inside again. Still think it's better than the original. It's okay that we disagree.
This is one of my favourite songs. So typically I'm weary of covers. When the artist writes a deep song it's hard to cover because you never understand where the song is coming from. But you sing it so effortlessly as if you wrote it. Amazing job.
i don’t usually comment of youtube videos, ever. but you have a true gift and if you play your cards right it can take you far. keep doing what you are doing man because you are great at it. it’s always an awesome thing to see something to inspire you to continue your journey to complete your goals in life🤙🏼.
I am dancing to this song at my wedding and your version made me cry for the first time... Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and please keep using your beautiful voice!
A couple years ago, when I first heard your cover, I was in a completely different place in life. Now, almost 4 years later I come back to this and it still makes me sob like on the first day (along with all your coldplay videos). You're amazing - glad to see you've been posting some videos again recently. I don't know you, but I know we all fight our own battles and I think it's so amazing that you follow your passion and share it with the world, to make other people, people like me, happy too, or help them with the battles they're fighting. A couple of years ago I was in a really different place, a really dark place. But my life is really amazing now. I'm so grateful that there is people like you out there, creating beautiful things to make people feel. I love your channel, and have for years! Just wanted to share my support and send my love
I've heard this cover almost 10 years ago, and I still have tears in my eyes about every time I listen to it. That voice is heaven. Love you bro. Inès, this song makes me think about you... Even though I think about you all the time. "The time for sleep is now, there is nothing to cry about because we'll hold each other soon". Rest in Peace my Love.
This year has been super rough. I had a friend who committed suicide and both of my grandparents passed away all pretty close to each other. This song helps me cope and I don’t know why. I don’t know what it is but thank you so much. I listen to your cover only and it really helps me. Helps me let it all out, crying isn’t a bad thing and sometimes it’s good to cry and let all the pain out. Love ya man, and I hope ur staying safe throughout all of this. 💜🖤💜🖤
Watched this numerous times in the past. Still like to come back every now and then, sang along this time. Beautifully amazing. Wish you the best mate.
I look up to you man. Honestly. I wish I was able to play as good as you and sing as good as you. Right now, I'm just another kid with a guitar. Hopefully someday I can be as good as you.
Dude, you surprised the sh*t out of me. This is the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. What and amazing voice and talent. Keep up the great work brother.
This song keeps coming back to my recommendations every month or so and it never disappoints. Dang you knocked it out of the park! This song is so heartbreaking and I can’t stop listening to it ❤
Damn, dude. I can’t believe I just discovered this cover. Your voice is so good on this song, it made me teary eyed. Beautifully done. I subscribed immediately.
Man, I like this version better than the original. You have a wonderful voice. USE IT!!! Keep doing what you do and keep giving off your good vibes. Thank you my friend!
Austin, I hope you're well and you've gotten thru the hell that's been the last year. Noticed you haven't posted any videos in a while and that's cool. You're such a talent and have such a gift. Just hope you're OK bro. Don't need to answer. Just know that people love you. Be good brother!
My best friend was killed by a drunk driver 5 yrs ago. He absolutely loves YOUR COVER of this song. Thank you Austin for this moment for me. I'll always appreciate you. I miss my friend more then anything in the world and you gave me a few minutes to be right back there with him💚😢 Joel was his name if you are wondering
This is my favorite song of all. And this version is so much better than the original! You are just so amazing! You have no idea how much I love your cover! I could listen to your voice for hours!
The world isn’t ending, maybe it’s the beginning of the end for the human race but the world will recover when we are gone. The world will be better off when all humans are dead, nature will return the world to its rightful state. It will be beautiful again.
I first watched this on 2012 at 9gag (someone posted) Since then at least once every 6 months I come back to listen at it again. This music was with me when I felt alone and now that I'm with someone who I love. His voice and the lyrics from DCfC still touches my soul no matter what. Thank you
Your voice is like a mixture of fergie and jesus! I don't want to sound like a freak or anything but I think I saw you take the form of a unicorn during the video. Good job man.
Love of mine, someday you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black I held my tongue as she told me "Son, fear is the heart of love" So I never went back If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark You and me have seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary And the soles of your shoes are all worn down The time for sleep is now But it's nothing to cry about 'Cause we'll hold each other soon In the blackest of rooms If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark
I can't help but listen to it as... "If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied... illuminate the 'nose' on their vacancy signs" Picturing a big light up nose. Lol. Love the cover, you definitely earned the Subscription!
Dude i just watched your fox news spot and i got to say i wish i could sing like you. I always feel so monotone when i sing. I play guitar but man if i could sing it would be so much better. You killed it and i find my self singing along with you
I listened to this cover years ago Today I woke up with the lyrics running through my head So I went back.. and I felt the chills. I love you, man. Update: found this exact piece on spotify❤ under the name of Austin Criswell
I lost my brother in 2006. We ended up playing this song before the funeral over a slideshow of pics from his life. I love this song but it also reminds me of the most painful part of my life.
I return to this cover 10 years since I first saw it. Still amazed.
me too friend me too
me too good sir

Same! Glad to find familiar sentiment among you people
I do too. I listen to it every few months

thank you for what you do! guess all that we can hope for is that our last thought is a good one.
My eyes aren't watering. Yours are!
I tell my patients that I was dead for 14 billion years and it never bothered me then...........
Thank you!
Hey not sure if you even look at these or not, but 4 years ago this video inspired me to learn to play the guitar, thank you.
@TaichX1138 I hope you've bought a pair of guitars and have been jamming with your daughter since you've posted this comment. Sounds like such a good way to bond!
@TaichX1138 no question buy them and do it
Ethan Cardwell Best compliment ever
8 years later and I hope you still have that itch to play guitar. It's worth the grind @Ethan cardwell
Hoping that you’ve been successful in your journey thus far friend! Keep on playing

The pain of death shall never fade, though it will forever be a reminder of the days spent together. And so, though I mourn for you and your loss, I will do not ask for an easing of your pain. I hope you are able to remember him and smile.
made up sad shit to gather likes
I don’t know why RUclips finally decided to recommend this video, but I’m soooo glad it did.
exact same
This guy's cover sounds better than the original.
Covers of this song give me life! 🌞✨
8 years later and this is the gift that keeps on giving.
Absolutely beautiful voice. So natural without affects. Just pure.
I agree
ACmusic, this cover has stayed with me since my teenage years. I'm a man now, but your voice has stayed with me since 2011, just know that you've inspired more people than you can imagine. Never stop giving
It could had been me that wrote this comment😂 same here
WTF Nicest youtube comments ever. This guy wins the internet.
Yes. even after 3 years later
That's because death cab fans are genuine people
Dpechal89 XD
No wtf issue here 😂
Bc he's raw talent singing a pure song, or at least I like to hope 🫠
I first watched this in like 2011 and its 2019 now still gives me the same feeling listening to this....
Hope your doing well Austin and keeping up the good work :)
Coke Dogg proud of yourself?👎
Coke Dogg huh🤷🏻😚
DCFC may have written this song, but I'm just about certain that this fella was destined to sing it. Such a solid cover.
Dylan Payne Best ever❤️
It has more views than the original singers acoustic version. So I'll leave it at that. Very good song all in all
4 years l8 but why do you look like that neighbour kid from Coraline
@@kaiduong4062 omg yes I see it too
RUclips 2011: nope
RUclips 2012: Not yet

I heard he died
It’s based of related videos...u must of matched somthing similar to have this reccomebded
John joe he posted the first comment in this thread 3-weeks ago tho 🤨
Genuinely better than the original, made this middle-aged man all teary-eyed.
Agreed, and same here.
@@BloodSweatAndMeth Thank you for the reply. It reminded me this beautiful version exists, and made me all warm inside again. Still think it's better than the original. It's okay that we disagree.
@@BloodSweatAndMethvery good point! Although i love this much more
its better than the original for sure.
@@BloodSweatAndMeth
Same for this old guy.
This song makes me miss someone I’ve never met
you mean : never met in this life ;)
I feel that
That's a beautiful phrase❤
IDK You Yet

thats whats beautiful about music..
This is one of my favourite songs. So typically I'm weary of covers. When the artist writes a deep song it's hard to cover because you never understand where the song is coming from. But you sing it so effortlessly as if you wrote it. Amazing job.
Years later, this is still my favorite version of this song. 🖤

I’ve been coming back to this cover for 8 years. It really is beautiful
I'm stunned. Amazing voice, sir. You surely have a gift. Thank you for that.
I am dancing to this song at my wedding and your version made me cry for the first time... Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and please keep using your beautiful voice!
10 years and I keep coming back to this cover.
I rarely comment on videos, but this warrants it.... You are incredible! Keep up the videos and the amazing work!

Why the hell did RUclips wait 10 years to recommend this to me? Good lord this kid is just wonderful.
I feel like Israel ”Iz” Kamakawiwo'ole had his soul travel into your body after he died. You, sir, are an inspiration.
You are amazing
8 years this video has been in my favourites, in these hard times it's more beautiful than ever.
I’ve been listening to this for 7yrs now. Wish I could convey hey amazing it is and how it came into my life at just the right time
I always find myself coming back to this video, I honestly like it better than the original :) I always tear up
I know what you mean 🙋
same goes for me. this one of the best covers ever
Thank you so much :)
+ACMusic7 more covers please
Agreed.
Watched this numerous times in the past. Still like to come back every now and then, sang along this time. Beautifully amazing. Wish you the best mate.
I keep coming back to this after listening to the official one. You soothe hearts everywhere with this. Thank you.
Outstanding!!!! Your voice, your energy and your love make you a star!
God Bless!
J.D….
I look up to you man. Honestly. I wish I was able to play as good as you and sing as good as you. Right now, I'm just another kid with a guitar. Hopefully someday I can be as good as you.
My gosh. I most definitely did not expect that when clicking this video, but you sir absolutely blew me away.
Great job. Very great voice.
I stumble upon this video again every couple years. It NEVER ceases to be incredible. Beautiful work!
Dude, you surprised the sh*t out of me. This is the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard. What and amazing voice and talent. Keep up the great work brother.

Keep doing what you do and keep giving off your good vibes.
Thank you my friend!
2020 and this is still the best version of this song out there.
Amazing voice I really hoped you continued to work because you would be incredible to listen to 9 years later
Julien Hecq same
Amazing… had this gem hidden in my playlist and found it again. What a treat… truely timeless
I don't know which thing I love the most. The song or your voice ! Thanks for this nice moment, you've a really beautiful talent :)
Austin, I hope you're well and you've gotten thru the hell that's been the last year. Noticed you haven't posted any videos in a while and that's cool. You're such a talent and have such a gift. Just hope you're OK bro. Don't need to answer. Just know that people love you. Be good brother!

So much nostalgia with this song. Beautiful work my dude !!
This is an awesome rendition of this song! Just subbed, I hope you record more songs man!!
By far my favourite cover
Dude knows how to sing!!
Certainly does.
2020 the world is ending and this cover is still inspiring
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms
The world isn’t ending, maybe it’s the beginning of the end for the human race but the world will recover when we are gone. The world will be better off when all humans are dead, nature will return the world to its rightful state. It will be beautiful again.
Nah we just need to get better, and I have faith we will
well, it seems the world did not end.
now is 2024
I first watched this on 2012 at 9gag (someone posted)
Since then at least once every 6 months I come back to listen at it again. This music was with me when I felt alone and now that I'm with someone who I love. His voice and the lyrics from DCfC still touches my soul no matter what.
Thank you
Rarely does a cover surpass the original... this does just that! Bravo, sir!!!
This is a beautiful song. You do a fantastic job covering it.
Wow....just wow...please please keep the videos coming! This was epic! Amazing job!
I still come back to this every so often.
This is the great thing about RUclips - Hidden Treasure can be discovered
By far the best cover I've heard in a while. Good stuff man.
Haven't heard this cover 'till now. Very, very nice. Well done.
I had to come back and re-listen multiple times. Just so good.
Holy shit your voice mate it's killer
Your voice is like a mixture of fergie and jesus! I don't want to sound like a freak or anything but I think I saw you take the form of a unicorn during the video. Good job man.
I thought Fergie was Jesus
Great quote
Deadpool likes this
man i love this song. and you're voice is the bomb. makes me feel like crying :,)
This is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in some time, and that little smile at the end is magic.
Love of mine, someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
love this Austin! I subscribed!
Goosebumps! Hauntingly beautiful. THANK YOU!
I sincerely regret not discovering this before. Keep on playing!
Melhor versão ❤️
this is absolutely fantastic, man.
11 years later and still one of my fave RUclips vids
Sounds great !! very nice song !
This is better than original for me.
I demand a tutorial on producing such a peaceful voice like yours.
you gotta be born with it
anky bh not trying to be a jerk but your wrong if you take time and take a quarry class or just practice you can do anything
Its Sunny
*you're
Incredilix
Yrou'e
You could develop it, but it wouldn't not compare to someone born with it.
Best cover I’ve ever found. Thank you for sharing your magic with us.
I can't help but listen to it as...
"If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied... illuminate the 'nose' on their vacancy signs"
Picturing a big light up nose. Lol. Love the cover, you definitely earned the Subscription!
I think it's actually "Nos" . Like e.g. "No vacancy" . Yeah but it's still pretty funny , illuminated nose haha
Floored. Utterly amazing
Stunning isn't it.
Man...
I hate RUclips... hate crying like this. Well done, a decade later.
Took me 9 year but here we are. So glad to have discovered you sir! Excellent cover! Thank you for sharing your talent and your art!
usually I don't like follow people in Internet but I start follow you dude.. amazing
Dude i just watched your fox news spot and i got to say i wish i could sing like you. I always feel so monotone when i sing. I play guitar but man if i could sing it would be so much better. You killed it and i find my self singing along with you
Decided to revisit this master piece. Merry Christmas man, hope your back is getting better. Can't wait to see you back making music.
I listened to this cover years ago
Today I woke up with the lyrics running through my head
So I went back.. and I felt the chills.
I love you, man.
Update: found this exact piece on spotify❤ under the name of Austin Criswell
Thank you for the update!
Dude, you're awesome. Keep it up :)
You have a beautiful voice
THIS MAN IS GENUINELY GOOD AT SINGING WTF HIS VOICE IS AMAZING
still listening today. one of my fav covers 💞
I love this ! also love the sweet smile at the end :3
I lost my brother in 2006. We ended up playing this song before the funeral over a slideshow of pics from his life. I love this song but it also reminds me of the most painful part of my life.
Beautiful and painful song.
I like his smirk at the end. #ijuststoleyourchick
13 years now and still one of the greatest videos on the human archive, thank you
Better than the original. :3
