As it was probably said, Al is not the Fullmetal Alchemist. Al is the FullMetal Alchemist's younger brother. Ed is the FullMetal Alchemist. Ed is a little shorter than Al. Yet, he's a year older than Al.
You know, the ability to generate sound would be a pretty useful alchemist ability, as long as you were immune to your own sounds so that you don't hurt yourself with your ability :P
I have heard many covers of this song and could never find a satisfactory one, but then I saw this video and knew it was finally the time. Of course you didn't disappoint, Caleb. This is absolutely amazing!!
Wow, I gotta admire your diction for this song. It's such a fast song but your diction was pretty flawless in spite of the ridiculous speed of the lyrics.
I was like "No. No he didn't." Song half over "No....nooo...he...noo." Song ends. "OH MY GAWD! HE DID IT! HE DID IT AND BEAUTIFULLY TOO!" *flips table* I love this song and I'm always in aw about how fast she gets and the fact that you kept up after a translation to english is mind blowing. Beautiful job, Caleb. Now the question is, what will he do next?!
"So take this DAMNED life and lead me to where I can start over... I'll let go of all this pain!" Your lyrics are so perfect for this song. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this song in the last few months.
For how hard the song may be, you did a phenomenal job of it, both in the changing range and the very sharply increased tempo in certain sections. Well done. Yui does not have an easy singing style to match.
Excellent job! From the fast tempo and rapid lyrics to the wide and high register, you knocked this one out of the park. Can’t wait to see what you’ll cover next.
Gosh I usually don't attach to english covers and prefers pure japanese text but this one was so good *-* The voice of course, but I - to my biggest surprise - thought the english lyrics actually brought a plus!
I was listening to the day and saw this in the suggested videos and was like "when did he do this and how could i have missed it?" *sees number of views* *NEW VIDEOOOOO!!!* Great job nailing those fast parts btw i would have passed out XD
This song is great, I want to ask you to let me remix this song. I will give you full information, and video about him. I always watch your products, it's great ^^
OMG! I have heard a lot of english covers for anime songs, but this just blows them all away! The english words fit so perfectly, you have an amazing voice, and you never slurred a single time through those fast lyrics! BEST. COVER. EVER.
I love how Caleb's translations for this song go more in depth with what Ed was feeling in the beginning of the show. Makes his character seem more personable in some ways
maybe its because i am a younger brother but i think he could have done better with verse 2. in the other translations ive seen its ed directly talking to his brother and wondering why he stays loyal after all hes put them through. In caleb's version its about how ed puts so much on himself and how much pain hes in because of it.
I was kind of hoping it was a cover based on geekyfandubs' lyrics. My disappointment was replaced with being impressed by your lyrics as well, very well done!
2:33 "Be friend or foe I, welcome anyone who tries to challenge me!" And suddenly this went from "Fullmetal Alchemist" to "Pokemon" in .02 seconds. *I CHALLENGE YOU!....TO A... **_POKEMON ALCHEMIST BATTLE!!!_* 😆 But seriously, EPIC cover! I LOVED IT!! I saw the title, grinned like a Cheshire Cat and immediate clicked on it and rocked out to it as I listened. You are awesome Caleb! -I think I saw you had a cover of one of the other FMA:B OP themes, but when I tried to watch it, the sound was muted for (I think) copyrighted problems. Do you happen to have it elsewhere also?- *(EDIT: It's back! It was Period that I was meaning, and he reuploaded it (and THANK YOU for that!), but the original is back too)*
This song left me staring at my screen with my eyes wide open and jaw dropping down... I've never had a reaction like that to any piece of art ever. You've just instantly climbed to being my favorite singer.
A bit ago I was looking for an actually good cover of peace sign, and I saw your video and I was like "IS THAT THE GUY FROM GOOGLE TRANSLATED MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU?!?" And it was! I've been a fan ever since and now you make a cover of my second favorite op ever from my favorite anime! You are awesome and amazing and keep up the absolute stunning work!
That's actually how I learned of Caleb too! So when I came from the brilliantly hilarious kind of song that that was to find all of the Metal, anime/game soundtrack, Disney, etc. song covers that he did, I was kind of quite surprised, but pleasantly so.😻💖 And now I'm completely addicted to Calebs songs and covers! And Caleb himself is awesome! I love finding people who cover anime/videogame/fandom music, and who also cover them *_WELL_* and have such amazing talent like Caleb, so finding that he did, and that he had such a wonderful and talent was like stumbling on a virtual treasure😄😊😻🌟
@@muhammadusamahshahid6805 Here's the link if you haven't found it already: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mRLreV7uVy0.html Seriously, it's great! Lolol! I totally recommend Malinda's(the girl who does the "Google Translate Sings" stuff) other videos too, becaus they are brilliantly, *_RIOTOUSLY_* FUNNY! I've laughed so hard that I've laughed myself into a near asthma attack many times from just watching them. 😂😂😂 And Malinda's also done more than the one collab with Caleb too, which is also fun
I always listened to this song in japanese and it's awesome. It's so fast!! I love your english version a lot! 😁Actually it's even the first time I hear it in english as I always watch animes in japanese. Good job on this song! I'll probably listen to it a lot on repeat! Lol I agree with you it must have been hard to sing. 😆
True. I love it in Japanese and already learned to sing it (which was quite a challenge because I quickly run out of breath and this song is... you know) but this cover sounds surprisingly good😯😍 He did a very good job on this!
"I must apologize, this pride that's inside me always telling lies Like I am in control of the things that were not ever my burdens to hold" This holds so, so much meaning to me. As the son of a single father who was heavily addicted to crack cocaine, I spent a huge chunk of my life blaming myself. It was my fault that he was addicted to cocaine. The stress of raising a child is what drove him to it. I'm the reason he overdosed and died. When, no. I was a child. I had no responsibility to prop that man up, I was not at fault for what he did. I was helpless and had to come to terms with that, no matter the damage to my ego and pride, otherwise I would have never moved on. I can't blame myself for it anymore. Nor do I owe him an apology for simply existing. He made his choices.
*hiking out in the middle of Northern California among a rocky path* *gets this notification* *celibrates and hits notification to open youtube* *no signal notification* *curses the internet!!!!!*
I knew something about the song called out to me. As a native Spanish speakers its not difficult to learn how to sound out what Yui is saying in her song. It's a great feeling putting these words together. Hell of a cover man, thank you.
Natewantstobattle has easily held the title for the best version of this cover for like years at this point since 2014, but I do believe he was just dethroned. Amazing cover as usual
I love your English covers this was amazing by the way!!!! Have you ever seen the anime Mirai Nikki if you have it would be super cool it you could do an English cover of the opening song! Anyway love your work you have an amazing voice
I'm so happy right now. This is my favorite anime of all time, and one of my favorite opening songs, and now I have one sung by you that I can listen to! I've been waiting for this ever since I first started following you, and now it's here! I can't stop grinning about it.
YOU're SO GOOD YOU SAW THE GATE, must of costed an arm a leg and your brothers body YOU'VE MADE THE GREATEST TABOO IN COVERS MAKING THEM BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!
Maniacman2030 Sadly not, I have yet to read those books (though it is on my list of things to read). My reference was a more common Lord of the Rings one. Gotta respect the classics.
ANOTHER FULL COVER RIGHT AFTER THAT AMAZING HERO ACADEMIA OP U DID! I LOVE U!!!!! UR AMAZING! (Btw pls do more of those videos full all out music videos i love em!)
I literally just started watching FMAB and fell in love with Again, dowloading all the versions I could onto my phone, and then my fav youtuber uploads this... I'm shook
Never been so glad to be one notification squad. This is my first and favorite anime song. The first one I ever learned all the english and japanese words to. this is fantastic thank you so much for covering it. I've been so sad today but this has helped so much.
I just realized that I haven't been subscribed this whole time, and idk why. I thought i clicked it awhile back, but apparently i didn't... lol Great cover Caleb, looking forward to each and every cover that comes out in the future.
Wow this cover is probably my favorite English one yet! There are so many great covers of this song out there, but I feel like I hear the right pitch, power, and sense of desperate searching in your performance/translation of the lyrics that was in the original. Also, the acoustics behind you is perfect! And yes, this has got to be one of the hardest songs to cover. You did awesome on that high pitch and frantic pace :)
Ok so I have to say this. I literally finished the last two episodes of the FMAB series this morning and I was thinking to myself man there are no covers of this song it would be cool if you did one and I just looked at my subscriptions feed... Weirdest and vest coincidence
The lyrics in the description are messed up. The (I'm on my way)s and (This is my wish)es are swapped around in some places, and completely absent in others.
Dude I'm so impressed. I've watched a bunch of these anime intro covers now and you really have a way with words and flow and of course your voice is a true gift (not to undermine any effort it took to get to that vocal level, but I could practice all I want and wouldn't ever have that amazing of a voice). So yeah, thanks for all the great content. Plus it's great to see you being you and having fun with it. Keep on rocking !
This cover is so good it cost me an arm and leg, accepted Greed, lost my internal organs, became blind, and had my soul transmutated in a suit of armor just to listen to this again.
What I liked about the original song was that the rap didn't sound like most of the rap I've heard before(which sounds terrible), it sounds more like very fast singing. Not everyone is able to do that, and I'm glad you were able to.
Five years later and I see that he actually liked my comment!!! I cry inside because I can actually sing the song without even looking at the lyrics. This is such a spectacular rendition of this song!!!! I don't think anyone else could have pulled it off, that's Caleb for y'all 🎉 HAPPY 5 years
I've always loved singing, always been good at it too. But depression and lack of self-confidence and self-esteem never pushed me to thrive and improve it. That changes today, my next singing goal is to be able to sing this. Thanks for the inspiration Caleb, you rock!
And once again, a fantastic cover by the incredible Caleb Hyles. I was feeling down and then I noticed this new cover, and now my day is better again! :D TY Caleb, you're the best!
damn, "the rest of our short lives" kinda hits different, y'know? like, i feel like sometimes people forget that Ed and Al are still KIDS. So i dunno if that line means "our lives so far have been short", or, "we don't have that much longer to live", but both interpretations really fuck me up
