Periphery - Scarlet Acoustic (feat. Mike Dawes) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO] 

I arranged a version of Scarlet in 2017 to try and show my, at the time, largely 'anti metal' audience that heavy music is full of the most amazing melodies and themes. It's so wild that we've been able to collab on this properly now. Absolutely timeless song

In this music video Spencer’s voice goes up like an angel and down like a wounded ox

Chicago: KETCHUP DOESNT BELONG ON HOTDOGS Halpern: ill fucking do it again

headbanging in slow motion

Nostalgia. All New Materials? Heavy Heart?

and now we want an entire acosutic album with the best of Periphery

I think I can speak for everyone when I ask for more acoustic periphery. Pls

I'm so happy spencer hit that victorayay the way he did

Today, we are all Periphery.

More proof that "a good song" is always gonna be that, no matter the package you present it in.

I would love similar renditions of Lune and Sentient Glow.

13 years later the debate between ketchup and mustard comes to a close (Misha said mustard is better)

My girlfriend and I have had this EP on repeat. The acoustic versions are so good and these were always are two favourite songs to begin with.

This is gorgeous, and I appreciate how much more "stripped down" the vocals are compared to the It's Only Smile acoustic. And yes, of course the vocals are still processed, but there's not a ton of effects over them this time.

This song needs to become the "More than Words" of our era.

Always wanted this since Mike Dawes came up with the acoustic cover

Someone said headbanging in slow motion. 🌊

It was really nostalgic hearing this, takes me back to when I was first getting into P2. Simpler times in life as well

What a great day to have ears.

mike dawes is the real star of this acoustic release. spencer does what we know him to do amazingly, and mike dawes composes the song for acoustic guitar in a way the original composers just couldn't do. fuck yes mike you rock.

I remember the first time that I heard the original version of Scarlet on Periphery II. The way that the vocal melodies and music intertwined brought tears to my eyes, and it was a night I'll never forget. This version did the same. So beautiful

I didn't know this version will be this good.

Enough to make a grown man cry 😢😢 So Beautiful

Scarlet will forever be my favorite Periphery song. Love this version of it!

I saw them perform this version in Denver back in October. So cool they made this into a video.

Erised, Jetpacks, Light, Ow My Feelings, Mile Zero, Summer Jam, Masamune, Heavy Heart, Alpha, Captain On, etc, they'd all work very well in this style! (with some reimagining, sure)

When I saw Mike preform this song live at one of your concerts I was thinking it would be nice to have a official version of it released and here it is! It keeps me going thanks

Now I'm hoping to hear more acoustic versions of periphery I really loved him

This mix is better than 'It's only smiles'...i can clearly hear Mike's beautiful playing which should have been there on the previous release too. This is emotion, love it ❤ PS: If you guys could release an acoustic/stripped version of 'The way the news goes' with Mike it would be cherry on top 😌

One of the first songs that got me into Periphery turned into something many in my life can enjoy! A splendid job gentleman!

Holy cow, feels like it's my birthday!

The absence of hate is screwing me up I keep singing light

I would like to hear Marigolds, Garden In The Bones and Heavy Heart done like this.

Thanks for this! Am I the only one who’d appreciate a one take version with just one camera angle, no keys, no backing vocals etc? Just these two guys. Pure, as live as it can be and especially performing together at the same time. Anyone else?

The aftermath of the war between ketchup vs mustard

First Periphery song that really got me hooked on them back in the day. Hearing this live on stage after enjoying Mike's rendition for so long gave me feelings that are really hard to replicate. Love this art guys. Great job.

This is SO good! Spencer's voice is as on point as it can be and the acoustic interpretation by Mike is great! One of my favorite periphery songs and such a great version!

I'd love to hear a metal version of this song.

This was the first cover I watched from Mike Dawes. This is just a pure treat.

I LOVE this so much and it really brings out the sensitivity and tenderness that Scarlet and many other Periphery songs possess underneath the massive productions. Periphery's usual balls-to-the-wall production is absolutely epic and I would NEVER ask for that to change - but I really really hope they integrate this softness into their main songs. This area of dynamics, where Spencer is almost whispering and you can actually hear the silver in his voice - my GOD it is inspiring and I feel it has SO MUCH potential in their main material. This sounds crazy but now I imagined a post-rock/metal version of scarlet that uses THIS vibe (around 3:15). Falsetto vocals and gentle singing, but their usual gigantic guitars behind. I'm not so entitled a fan to beg for that right after they've released this - my point is I just want to see this side of Spencer in their main music and main releases. I have been a Periphery fan for well over a decade and they've been in my top 3 fav bands the entire time - but the main reason my other bands like Breaking Benjamin, Karnivool, and more recently Sleep Token are up there with Periphery is because they regularly use THIS kind of softness along with their main heavy vibe. I really really hope this song does well and inspires the band to imbibe this into their main productions. Absolutely spectacular song, Mike Dawes is a god, Spencer is a god, I thank everyone involved in this release. Cannot, absolutely cannot wait for what ya'll do next

Amazing arrangement and performances. Lovely video editing with 90s music video vibes. Nostalgic yet fresh. Excellence.

Brilliant as always. I’m loving these colabs with Mike Dawes

OH GOD YES!! 2 of my FAVORITE artists - one PERFECT SONG!! WOW!!!

SO GOOD. MY ALL TIME FAV PERIPHERY SONG.

I love the natural beauty of both the vocals and the acoustic.

This version feels so different in vibe, I love it. Gonna be on repeat all day.

Beautiful song, beautiful rendition!

Wow ok that was good that was very good. It was beautiful in London back in Feb too so I shouldn't be surprised.

You have a band with 3 spectacular guitar players and you found another one with incredible talent. I love this acoustic versions. btw the spencer's voice MY GOD.

I've been dying for an official version since the Chicago shows. Thank you, guys!

I'm not saying I need an acoustic Periphery album; but what I'm saying, is that I'd really enjoy one.

This version with vocals is absolutely amazing! P.S. Angel Vivaldi as hair and makeup artist is freaking hilarious :D

I really felt it when he said "Hey, Yeet" 1:28

i wish we could get the way the news goes in acoustic it will sound majestic asf

3:20 did it for me. Great performance.
