Paper Wings (Acoustic Rise Against Cover) 

12 years on and this is still one of the better paper wings covers out there

This Is To Every One That Watches This Video!!! This video is made by: Ricky Barnett Jr. He is my big brother!! Im very happy to have SUCH a talented broother!! From Brooklyn

any chance of re-recording this? This is legit a 10/10 and is worth doing it!

I still listen to this cover, a lot ❤️

10 years later, and this still hits just as well. I'd love to hear it re-recorded on newer equipment. This song, not to mention the rest of Siren Song of the Counter Culture, were so iconic to me growing up, and are still relevant almost 2 decades later. I would love it if Rise Against remastered the whole album for its 20th anniversary in 2024.

seven years later and still beautiful. gonna learn this immediately :p

This made my morning... brings back the good ol days...keep playing...

I was a little confused at first because I didn't really read the title... but it was a pretty good surprise, totally changes the song

I wish for an higher quality track, this is awesome... Thank you :)

thanks! this was made when i had first started recording & producing. so at the time it was made, i was awful at programming drums, and mixing. if i still had the computer with the raw recordings on it, i would for sure make an updated version, but unfortunately that computer crashed and i had to get a new one. :/ i appreciate it though. :)

Holy shit. Words cannot express how much I love this.

Liz's voice is perfect for the song. She flows divinely

And i must add. I listened to this cover while driving through my city. Totally magic feeling. Keep going, you are great!

my heart is melting as i listen.

I don't know about you, but this just... Hit me! I love it! I feel like I'm flowing. Almost crying! People use to say "Good job!". I say you have done the best job! Can't tell how amazing this is. Do you know that feeling, when you don't know what to do.. You think you acted like a jerk with your friends.. Your speacial friends I mean.. Like you dissapointed them.. Well.. Now I know exactly what to do! Love you!

About the best cover I've heard. Whoever the woman singing is, is wicked good!!!

Probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard

im in love with this song. her voice is beautiful

I pretty much listen to this everyday :)

Beautiful cover of one of my favourite songs ever!

Absolutely amazing... i love her voice

This is my favorite song and I think put a great spin on it. I must download this.

I like it. A girls voice puts a different kind of twist on it and the slower tempo makes it more effective on the listeners that Rise Against didn't do. I was tryin to find one done them and I found this one. Now when I go to look for an acoustic version of this song, I come straight to here. Very good job. Keep up the good work.

this sounded so good.

you guys might wanna re record this. its amazing to be honest

Why did it take me so long to find this?! Truly an amazing cover!

This is great! The best acoustic cover of Paper Wings I've seen.

Really looking forward to covering this at my next open mic. Love this version!

Every year i'm here.

This cover is awesome I can't wait to learn this song

I hold this cover so dearly to my heart. My partner loves rise against and one of my favorite memories will always be going on drives while they show me their favorite rise against songs and this cover was always one of them. So beautiful. Thank you.

quality is well.. you get it. but I have to say the inspiration shines through. I am not usually a huge fan of acoustic version of my favorite songs... but damn I fell in love instantly with this and can't stop listening to it now.. thanks!!

this is a gem!

I love this girl !

Best Rise Against cover!

guys. great job. honestly, this is one of the best covers i've seen. Its nothing like the original but its absolutely wonderful. :)

Excellent job. Sounds awesome!

amazing, i was curious how the bridge would sound it's my favorite part of the song and it was perfect. i think a female voice does this song justice especially acoustic it sounds very heart felt

Love it! especially the voice!!!

This is beautiful.

Beautiful. Thank you for this masterpiece.

This is beautiful! I love how this sounds so different from the original, but keeps the emotion of it. Very nicely done :-)

Love it ok? Ok. You have a beautiful voice and somehow manageded to give this cover a completely diferent meaning, it feels magical. Great job.

What a beautiful voice!!

Wow this is actually the first cover I like of this! Good stuff woman your amazing balls!

Really beautiful!

wooooah, best cover on youtube, hands down :).

One last thing I beg you please just before you go I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down Landed somewhere far from here with no one else around To catch you falling down And I'm looking at you now And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour Its not waiting for you and neither am I Swing for the fences son He must have told you once That was a conversation you took nothing from So raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done Just put off another day of knowing where your from You can catch up with yourself if you run And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour Its not waiting for you and neither am I Is this the life that you lead? Or the life that's left for you? Will you take the road that's been laid out before you Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight? Somewhere else And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour Its not waiting for you and neither am I And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour Its not waiting for you and neither am I

This is great! Absolutely amazing cover. Great vocals and great guitar, got the feeling of the original. Big thumbs up from me

I love your interpretation of it. It's def a challenge translating it to acoustic and finding a way that works. I just wish the quality was better so I could enjoy it more :) Otherwise, Great job! I'm glad I found this cover.

This is just perfect, thanks a lot for this upload *.*

this is beautifull

this is so good. thank you.

wow, just wow this really hit home bc im in a bad situation rn, thank you!

@oneyng2 i used FL Studio for the entire song. &i was the one who programmed the drums. :)

your positivity amezes me, you gain like and favourites miss. Bless you.

i am actually obsessed with this song atm o_O

that was amazing.

This song is now a part of my daily ritual. I feel off not hearing it

Amazing

if you got this properly mastered dude it would absolutely rock, its brilliant, but the vocals are pretty quiet, and the guitar is pretty over powering, those kinda high pitched strings in the chorus are a bit drowned out too, none of this is very major btw, but every little helps in terms of music quality. super super cover i love it man :)

Great cover

I Love This... Speechless.. Brought Back so Many Memories.. Tears of Old Gold Days.. Thank you Very Much For This.. it was Great to Chill on... Live On Ricky \\m//_

Beautiful voice :) Maravilloso!

Voice of an angel

Really like it.

Wow amazing

@darknshark i would just make a version without the drum track, but i lost all of what was on my old laptop a little while back. thanks for the input though. :)

THIS SONG IS BLOODY UNDER-RATED, ESPECIALLY IN ACOUSTIC! BROADCAST IT LIVE! SOMEBODY, ANYBODY!

Love the vocals, anymore covers with her singing?

Well done and thank u for sharing

MY FAVORITE SONG (:

Did a great job

Your download-link sadly doesn't work anymore 😢 Wonderful cover, maybe you could post a new link😉
