word exactly. I don't even particularly like that song, it just feels melodramatic to me. But then THIS version somehow hits the emotional "oomf" that I think the song is meant to a little harder.

Idea: I know this is a drumming page, but it would be cool to now, with this version of the song made, extract the guitar from the song, give it to a guitarist to fill in his own tune, and then do the same with a bassist and then vocalist/songwriter (or whichever order is best). Kind of like the game of telephone but with music. Then you'll get to see one song completely transform into a new song.

I honestly wouldn't change the lyrics, as they are pretty much the key component of this song, changing them would mean you have a pretty much new song, while only making changes to the instruments and singing will give you a new interpretation of the song, which is pretty much the goal of this video. Also, I'd say it's much easier to adjust your own instrument to the ones already playing, making up a whole new text on the spot seems reaaallly hard. I of course don't wanna downplay Dirks perfomance in this video or anyone doing something similiar, just listening once to the song and going along this well with it is very impressive, but coming up with a fitting text on the spot seems so much more impossible to me, atleast if you wanna do it on a decent level. You gotta tell a story with it, every syllable has to fit and the energy has to fit aswell. (what I mean with that is, that Mr Brightside is kind off a feel good song, it's about a guy staying positive. Now imagine the text would instead be something melancholic or maybe hateful)
