His voice is like a perfect hybrid of Maynard and Brandon Boyd. Back when this video first came out, I literally gave it 5 stars. You'll know what I'm talking about if you're old enough.
I fell the same. I watched this video a long time ago and this guy looks like my best friend (unfortunately he passed away and I miss him so much). This video remember me all the good moments we passed through. APC rocks!!!
89 people disliked this? They obviously don't have a fucking clue what talent or what a good musician sounds like. I've watched this video dozens of times. I love this version just as much as the original!
Story time about Adam and this song in particular..... When i was super fucking young I recorded a cover of me singing a duet to his version of this song and sent it to him. And he responded to me! He told me to keep up the good work and he liked the harmonies I had chosen. It might seem like the tiniest thing to some but it was the BIGGEST thing to me. I kept singing and now I'm a professional musician. I got a shout out in a news publication because of my vocals in a theater production and I sang Carole King at a beautiful wedding for the father and daughter dance. But people like Adam responding to my little weird email of me singing along with him, made ALL the difference. Thanks man. This video should have over a million views. Your talent and your kindness are felt by all who view this.
Hi Stef. Thanks for your kind words. It’s humbling to think I played a part in motivating you to keep singing. Great that you are doing what you love. Seems the message is coming back around...because you just inspired me to head over to the piano. 🙂 Best of luck to you!
Still coming back to this. I first heard this around 15 years ago and had listened to everything you did. A true testament to the beauty of what you do. I have held onto hope for a long long time that you would resurface one day and i would get to hear some new stuff. Regardless, i will always go back to the oldies. 🤟
Whenever I wanna hear an acoustic or different version of this song ( which I truly love) I put this on. Been listening to this guy for like 4 yrs now. Lol.
patrick thompson I agree, looked him up online the other night and he's apparently a dentist now. Guess he doesn't have enough time to post videos but good lord his tool/apc covers are awesome.
15 years later, thanks YT algo. I hadn't seen this in a while! I honestly forgot how impressive your work is. Insane talent playing 3 instruments simultaneously (voice, mic, piano).
I'm still watching this 10 years later brotha. Taught myself piano, but I'm trying to figure out which keys you're hitting haha. Hope you're still jammin out to Tool/A Perfect Circle!
Wow I think Maynard has an amazing voice but you are right up there with him. It's so perfect for the song. Once of my favorites. walked down the aisle to 3 Libras played by a string quartet. Such a beautiful song. people who didnt know the song would never guess who it is by. A few knew and came up to me and were like awesome. OK back to you. I get chills hearing the string version but yours is amazing. You created such a full song and your voice just tops it off. It's so amazing. I am picky about music and only certain songs can I listen to over and over and still get butterflies (almost like that falling in love feeling) and your rendition gives me that. Thank you so much for this masterpeice
Dear Mr. Monroe, I've been visiting your channel to listen to you croon for a decade. Are you even alive? Sincerely, A Guy Who Thinks You Sing Even Better Than The Godlike Vocalists You Cover.
I too am revisiting this. I started listening to APC when I was 15. I'm now 32. This song remains one of my favorite APC songs. This cover is also the best cover of this song.
I guess those 6500 people being the majority who love the cover are tone deaf, hopefully your version will have all the corrections. You've got to understand passion bro, before your able to comprehend true musical talent. As he said "Hope you enjoy it from my perspective."
Luckily for everyone, were not all perfectionists and appreciate music for what it is. Whether or not its a masterpiece or just a cover with some mistakes. People just love sound coming together, and almost coming together is good enough for most of us.
Grantwad Wow you totally didn't understand my sarcasm, MY comment is positive, 7 people agreed with you dissing on my comment, but those 7 people are completely retarded, because my comment is positive and I'm actually dissing on the comment before my own in which a real troller said this cover sucked.. People have gone completely retarded... Anyways to clarify, this guy is an amazing vocalist, it wasn't even a studio recording, yet its so powerful, and you can see his passion for music.
