Hope y'all don't mind me talking a little more in this week's video, I wanted to show a little bit of my process and how I think about things. This song rocks, despite what I said in the video. It was really fun discovering all the little musical moments throughout the tune, and I really love where I ended up with my arrangement too!

It is difficult to make this compliment without discounting the hard work you have put in. I'm aware you have devoted a huge amount of time over the years to your craft, but I am really amazed with the insane amount of natural talent on display here. It is awesome to see folks that find those talents in life and pour resources into them. Keep kicking ass.

DUDE! There is so much to love here. Top 3 oh dang moments for me... 1. Half time feel during the solo (plus a killer solo) 2. The bass during quiet bridge 3. The Shout Chorus towards the end. Please keep drinking coffee and making music!☕🤪🤘

I don’t understand how you are incredible at all your instruments, can record/mix/master everything perfectly, film everything in an expert way….i’m just jealous is all. That must’ve been so much time you’ve put it all this. The song and the results are awesome. All your songs are awesome. And I’m especially impressed by your drumming and how you reimagine songs all together.

Alex: "So, what should we do for that little guitar lick in the chorus?" Alex: "I have several ideas..." Alex: "Let's use all of them." Alex: **slurps coffee** Alex: **slurps coffee** One of my favorites so far. Creed makes for surprisingly good pop punk. Great video

@SeraphsWitness 11 месяцев назад

The reharm on this song, along with the syncopation, is freaking stunning.

@redshiplanding 10 месяцев назад

Is almost unnerving how much difference a small production change can make. Your channel does such a good job of highlighting genre conventions, of exploring how musical meanings are created in/through various production vocabularies/contexts, and so on. Sure, it's also cool as hell, but there is a lot more going on here (and I promise that I am not trying to let the lit professor in me ruin everything by overanalyzing it). Thanks. Keep it up.

@orionviens9830 10 месяцев назад

Evwryone has already said everything that needs saying about this song but...i must reiterate. What an absolute banger, I'm frankly stunned that you could put this song in a blender with 2000s pop punk and dial up such a masterpiece. It feels genuinely like a new song, while at the same time keeping those signature hallmarks of the original (like those big guitar chugs before the final choruses). Knocked it out of the park. Thoroughly impressed by your musical chops, again.

@bryanspence2490 11 месяцев назад

I'd Do Anything by Simple Plan - Country version when? Also this is fantastic; Creed will always hold a special place in my heart.

@peterw2880 11 месяцев назад

The way you’re able to distill all of your influences and just general love of music into each of these projects, while still retaining the spirit of the original, is such a neat thing to see
