UNRAVEL (FULL version - Tokyo Ghoul OP) - English opening cover by Jonathan Young 

"we live in a world someone else imagined" The manga artist and the whole studio: **Intense sweating**

Rumor has it that the camera man still circles the microphone

I love how the lyrics stay close to the translation without completely killing the song's flow or rhyme scheme

5 years later and it still slaps so hard it's crazy, I love this cover so much

On a serious note though,this is hands down the best english cover of this opening that exists

I’m Japanese. His voice and arrange of this song are sooooooooooooooo amazing. sooooooooooooooo wonderful. I’m respect him as a musician.

The message in the lyrics is so beautiful, easily my favorite cover of this song.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the scream of "UNRAVEL THE WORLD!" sends chills down my spine

" *When tf did I say all these quotes* " - Ken Kaneki

"you're a wizard Harry"' -Ken Kaneki

“You smile and laugh at me but you don’t see a thing” Blind people: “well yes but actually yes”

"we live in a World Someone Else Imagined" Bruh This Line Is Dope

"I can't imagine a world without Light" " Ya, that would be dark" - Ken Kaneki

Damn, the entire song explains the mental trauma kaneki went through all this time... Hats off jonathan... Great song.. Already broken d replay button

Dang these English lyrics hit hard

6 years later and it’s the BEST cover I’ve ever heard. It’s beautiful

"I don't understand these quote jokes." - Ken Kaneki

We've been listening to the japanese lyrics mindlessly this whole time and now that we can understand the lyrics the song literally sums up the whole season and all of Kaneki's story

"Now I'm Turning to dust in a world that's twisted" Mr.Stark...I don't feel so good

英詞が原曲へのリスペクトが垣間見えてすごく好きです。　韻をきっちり踏んでてかっこよすぎますｗ

It’s amazing how he translated the Japanese into English, and rewrote the lyrics in a way that fit the syllables of the songs, all while keeping mostly the exact same meanings. You can’t simply translate the lyrics of a song and expect it to work, so this man is simply a prodigy

"Please, I just want a normal Toky Ghoul quote" -Ken D. Uzumaki

"we live in a world someone imagined" Sui Ishida : yes, exactly

After almost 5 freaking years, that "WON'T INFECT YOU" and "DON'T FORGET ME" part still gives me goosebumps. It contains so much emotion, it's incredible in my opinion. Unfortunately it's not like that in the original, and that's why it's so hard for me to decide wich I like more! But still both of them is a masterpiece for me, the original and the cover as well.

Was recently diagnosed with cancer, this came back on feed and damn it hit hard. I’ve always loved this cover but now it hits a bit deeper. Fantastic Job.

Moral of Tokyo ghoul "Never take your best friends advise on dating"

“This is... Requiem.” -Ken Kaneki

ちょっとまって… まじでかっこいい…最高

im turning to dust in a world that's twisted... peter parker: i don't feel so good

"I never said all these things in comments" - Ken kaneki

"Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?" - Ken Kaneki

Oh, can you tell me, can you tell me the way the story ends? A monster in my heart A ghost inside my chest I'm broken down, the world around us Surround my suffering You smile and laugh at me But you don't see a thing Damaged and broken as I am I'm trying not to breathe Unraveled, I'm not unraveled by The truth I finally see, freeze I'm breakable, unbreakable I'm shakeable, unshakeable Unraveling since I found you And now I'm turning to dust in a world that's twisted Don't come searching when I go missing Close your eyes or just try to look away Don't want to hurt you We live in a world someone else imagined The ghost of what's left of me all but vanished Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine Entangled in the loneliness The memory of innocence It's stinging me, it's breaking me The pain is spreading endlessly I cannot move, I close my eyes I try to breathe, I realize - I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed Unravel the world I'm not what I was then Don't touch the infection Entwined we will both die So stay away, and stay alive I'm breakable, unbreakable I'm shakeable, unshakeable Unraveling, I won't infect you! Now I'm turning to dust in a world that's twisted Don't come searching when I go missing Close your eyes or just try to look away Don't want to hurt you We live in a world someone else imagined The ghost of what's left of me all but vanished Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine Please, just don't forget me... Just don't forget me Just don't forget me Just don't forget me Don't forget me We live in a world someone else imagined The ghost of what's left of me all but vanished Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine Oh, can you tell me? Oh, can you tell me? A monster in my heart And now there's nothing left

The song itself seems like a man crying out for help in the midst of despair or going mad in itself truly beautiful for it's message and meaning.

"who's Ken Kaneki I haven't watched Tokyo Ghoul" -Ken Kaneki

"Call an ambulance....., but not for me " ~Ken Kaneki

出来れば存在を知りたくなかった。 かっこよすぎる。 これは車で流さずには居られない。

“When tf i said these quotes” - Ken Kaneki 2020

the line "stay away and stay alive" for some reason i felt something

People will listen to this and still tell me metal is emotionless and numb. Never had more feelings transmitted to me through a song. Thank you, Jonathan for this heart-breaking, yet loving cover!

Coming back to this at 24 when i used to listen to this song all the time from tokyo ghoul. Its always been true you enjoy the music on good days. On bad days you understand the lyrics

Holy hell that "UNRAVEL THE WORLD" line was heavy, got goosebumps at max volume.

"Step-sis, what are you doing in the dryer?" -Ken CanCookie

WHY IS EVERYTHING JONATHAN SINGS GREATNESS WTF

If you are listening to this banger in 2024 like this so we can show our support is still here 6 years after the release

“It’s over Anakin.., I have the high ground” -Ken Kaneki

"[...] we live in a world someone else imagined" *He's got a point tho*

“Between a battle lost and a battle won, the distance is immense, but there stand empires” - Bilbo baggins, Sun Tzu, Grand Admiral Thrawn

まるで元から洋楽のように思えるくらいクオリティの高さ。うますぎる。

Jonathan, you've outdone yourself... i really hope you will make more covers like this, where you get that screaming and soft voice into one song to make it as emotionfilled like this one right here. "Unravel the world"

Masterpiece. Lyrics are best of the best. I'm crying like a baby. It hits me so hard by truth. "Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine" I have cancer and i'll probably die in next few months. I would like my relatives to remember me as I was in my best moments, and not devastated by disease.

“It’s better to be hurt than hurt other people.” -Kaneki

5 years... this song does not disappoint, not even the slightest, this shouldn't even be a cover, this should simply be its own song

"I'm not what I was then Don't touch the infection Entwined we will both die So stay away and stay alive" These lyrics just hit different

"It's over Frieza!" ~ Ken Kaneki

Who else gets chills when he screams “UNRAVEL THE WORLD”

woahh I forgot how much I loved this

"Stop writing quotes that I didn't even say" ~Ken Kaneki

that beat dropped harder than me falling down the stairs

Dude. Didn't think it was possible to make a cover of this song, in another language, with the same melancholy and desperation of the original one... and yet here i am, feeling the same chills the actual OP gives me. Congrats

Greatest English cover of Unravel I've ever heard in my life.

This has to be my favourite anime opening of all time and you've just made it even better.

can we make an applause for the camera man who've been walking in circle for the whole duration of the video

An actual ken kaneki quote. "What's 1000 minus 7? " -Ken Kaneki

Even 5 years later, I still listen to this cover (its just too good)

The pain and fear he manages to put on his vocals are insane. That's singing with the soul.

This is honestly a very beautiful English cover of Unravel. It’s extremely powerful and very moving. This is a song that I find myself going to for comfort. I don’t usually comment on RU-vid but I think that this definitely deserves a compliment. Props man👏

FINALLY. YOU'RE THE MEN.

Came back to this song in 2022- the lyrics "Turning to Dust in a word that's twisted... Don't come searching when I go missing..." They hit super hard and I feel a lot of... complex... emotions still to this day... From the bottom of my heart, thanks Jonathan Young. this is truly spectacular.

*what is 1000 minus 7*

"Stop making quotes about things that i didn't even say" -Ken Kaneki

Anime Community: English versions of Japanese songs NEVER work. Me an Intellectual: You sure?

めちゃくちゃかっこいいwww 本当に名曲

Holy crap, you outdid yourself this time Jon.

I literally watched Tokyo ghoul just because of this song

“I’m the Armored Titan and he’s the Colossal Titan” -Ken Kaneki

i am 50 and this was the anime that got me emotionally into anime the depth, the heart, the fear, the pain and the joy Kaneki embodies all of us all we could be and all we can be come for better or worse

Nobody: The camera angle: *You spin me right round, baby right round...*

“It’s finger licking good” -kaneki kentucky

"I, Jonathan Joestar, will use my death note to kill all the titans and become Hokage-Pirate King." ~ Ken Kaneki, Soul Reaper

This ended up being the #1 song played on my Spotify this year. Such an epic cover.

You honestly nailed it. Perfect timing, perfect tone, perfect everything.

"Insert quote from every shounen protagonist other than Kaneki" -Ken Kaneki

The emotion comes through so clearly. Sends shivers down my spine.

*"The LYRICS"* Oh, can you tell me, can you tell me the way the story ends? A monster in my heart A ghost inside my chest I'm broken down, the world around us Surround my suffering You smile and laugh at me But you don't see a thing Damaged and broken as I am I'm trying not to breathe Unraveled, I'm not unraveled by The truth I finally see, freeze I'm breakable, unbreakable I'm shakeable, unshakeable Unraveling since I found you And now I'm turning to dust in a world that's twisted Don't come searching when I go missing Close your eyes or just try to look away Don't want to hurt you We live in a world someone else imagined The ghost of what's left of me all but vanished Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine Entangled in the loneliness The memory of innocence It's stinging me, it's breaking me The pain is spreading endlessly I cannot move, I close my eyes I try to breathe, I realize - I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed Unravel the world I'm not what I was then Don't touch the infection Entwined we will both die So stay away, and stay alive I'm breakable, unbreakable I'm shakeable, unshakeable Unraveling, I won't infect you! Now I'm turning to dust in a world that's twisted Don't come searching when I go missing Close your eyes or just try to look away Don't want to hurt you We live in a world someone else imagined The ghost of what's left of me all but vanished Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine Please, just don't forget me... Just don't forget me Just don't forget me Just don't forget me Don't forget me We live in a world someone else imagined The ghost of what's left of me all but vanished Remember my heart, how bright I used to shine Oh, can you tell me? Oh, can you tell me? A monster in my heart And now there's nothing left

"Oho, you're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're approaching me?" - Ken Kaneki

"Did I change the comment so that every newcomer will never know what I said? Possibly." -Ken Kaneki

Unravel was already a contestant for the best of opening themes among all of anime. You just disqualified everything else. I can't believe it, but your cover really is *flawless*, speaking literally. The world has changed to accept perfection. Your perfection. I was about to leave it at that, but...I need to point out the few moments that really pierce my heart, just to explain. 0:00 The first words of Unravel are crucial. They're what surprises the viewer when they first hear it, with the high pitched, almost broken voice of the original singer. And you nailed it, even with your deeper, masculine voice, it sounds just as frail and sad. 0:27 This guitar riff, contrasting with the original fragility, is also primordial because it breaks the song, and Unravel is a song *about* breaking. The screen itself breaks like glass when the guitar goes off. Needless to say, your guitar skills are spot on with the necessity of that aggressiveness. 0:56 This buildup is where the key change is most visible. It may have been necessary for vocal reasons, but this serves it right. The chaining of words is - maybe subjectively - more effective in this new key, which I'm too musically illiterate to identify. And then, of course, there is... 1:01 The tears come here. You added a far harsher guitar to the plead that you translated, which really conveys the...well, breaking experience again, but instead of the voice, it does it in a "going out in a bang" way, and it really makes you reach out to the character portrayed, the despair communicating to you. 2:55 The plead resumes, and the transition comes from energy to tiredness, to finally fading away. The last burst is clearly more affected than the others. This is a scenic manner of portraying the song that *shows* what it's saying, like in a musical, where the events of the song are taking place right here and now. 3:32 It really sounds like you were about to cry there. Your performance is that good : your poured your whole self in there, which is what made everything else so good. Ending on the verge of tears adds to the irreversible despair spiel. And it's great. What else can I say..? Oh, yes. Thank you. Thank you for this.

Best anime deserves the best cover

i cant believe i actually like an English version of a Japanese song

"Yo dudes the empire's pretty chill maybe you could like join it or something" -Ken Kaneki

So you're telling me Japanse songs can actually sound good in English? Crazy amount of likes, thank you!

I loved the original, and this translation just adds to how just beautiful this song is.

"I didn't say most of the things in the comment section" -Kaneki... Probably

Toru kitajima: “unravel won’t sound good in English because the translation won’t match up with the tempo.” Johnatan: “hold my chocolate milk” oh my 3.6k of you beautiful people liked what i had to say

"I can't imagine a world without light" -Misa Kaneki

Hearing this in english for the first time is insane. I apreciate it so much, how much memories come back. How much Kaneki struggled and was in pain but never wanted anyone else to feel that pain

Oh can you tell me, can you tell me The way the story ends A monster in my heart a ghost inside my chest I'm broken down, the world around us sorrounds my suffering you smile and laugh at me but you dont see a thing Damaged and broken as I'm I'm trying not to breathe unraveled I'm, not unraveled by the TRUTH I FINALLY SEE (Freeze) I'm breakable, unbreakable, I'm Shakeable, unshakeable unraveling since I found you and now I'm... Turning the dust in a world that's twisted don't come searching when I go missing close your eyes or just try to look away don't want to hurt you We live in a world someone else imagined the ghost of what's left of me all but vanished remember my heart... how bright I used to shine. Entangled in the loneliness the memory of innocence It's stinging me, it's breaking me the pain is spreading endlessly I cannont move I close my eyes I try to breathe, I realize I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed UNRAVEL THE WORLD!!!!! Im not what I was then don't touch the infection entwined we will both die so stay away, and stay alive I'm breakable, unbreakable, I'm Shakeable, unshakeable unraveling I won't infect you and now I'm... Turning the dust in a world that's twisted don't come searching when I go missing close your eyes or just try to look away don't want to hurt you We live in a world someone else imagined the ghost of what's left of me all but vanished remember my heart... how bright I used to shine. Please, just don't forget me just don't forget me just don't forget me just don't forget me!!!!!!! We live in a world someone else imagined the ghost of what's left of me all but vanished remember my heart... how bright I used to shine. Oh can you tell me, can you tell me a monster in my heart and now there's nothing left

When he screamed unraveling the world my whole body shivered

"Kaneki hate ghoul" "kaneki become ghoul" "kaneki meet touka" kaneki:i like ghoul

初めて見たけどこの人最強すぎん？ 最高にかっこいいし最高なカバーですやん。ずっと聴いてられる
