  • did you compose this yourself? Amazingly beautiful song!

  • your amazing :D

  • Wow... !!! <3 soo good!!! <3 <3

    

  • Love this Intro... & the whole song.Its like a masterpiece of emotion and realizations only to be felt through music

  • You have inspired me to learn piano and become a better vocalist. Your original music is so amazing musically and lyrically. Im buying your EP from bestbuy next week when i get paid. Keep it up man. For real youre gonna make it huge with your talent. Thanks Adam!

  • I found you on here about a year or so ago and I've shown everybody I know, and I showed my g/f this video and Convince You and she was just as blown away as i was, this is a very passionate song and we dance to it, thanks for the gift brotha :)

  • I loved the build up to the key change at "you know this desperate belief..." around 2:55...it was nicely done...i love your work dude, your very talented...i would love to help you write your sheet music...theres many music notation programs such as Sibelius 6 for you to use...i use the program myself for when i compose music, you should look into the program...its expensive but a very good investment especially with your talent...keep up the good work my friend

  • whomever disliked this song... should be lectured about music ;)

  • Man i really enjoy your music i have showed alot of my friends your stuff and have heard nothin but good things!!! Keep on keepin on my friend!! But this song by far is my fav of yours!! Whoop Whoop

  • awesome.... I was crying...

  • NIce Work man! I mean really chilly!

    I´d wish that there´s someone that rocks like you in Austria.

    Keep rockin´!

  • NIce Work man! I mean really chilly!

    I´d wish that there´s someone that rocks like you in Austria.

    Keep rockin´!

  • I like your voice best when you have that haunted tone goin on. like a cross maynard and chino from deftones. awesome.

  • Pretty phenomenal. I wonder how long it takes you to write a song like this...

  • You're very talented, and I really like you're Tool and APC covers, though I don't really like this song. Not that that should really mean much - I'm not insulting you, just, saying it. So being kinda pointless really. Very impressive though, I wish I could have that much co-ordination in my drumming.

  • I think this song is amazing. Not only do you play well,your an incredible song writer!

  • 1:33 to around 1:44, annihilated my brain

  • Awesome

  • Esto es y suena de puta madre. Buenísimo toque y buena voz,..... in English = this is fucking great music and voice. You've got a lot of talent. Keep on.

  • awesome. I hope to hear many more originals!

  • Fantastic, I know all these comments are saying you're amazing and awesome and great, but you have skill that a lot of musicians on the radio wish they had, with all of today's technology and sound alteration, it's difficult to separate real ability with someone that can be easily sold in mainstream music. You got serious talent and an amazing voice, you should be topping every billboard in the world. Fantastic.

  • Omg! You're Incredible. Consider me a new fan! I'm stunned! You've got such a beautiful voice and the lyrics are amazing! Best of luck! ^^ I hope you get spotted and turned into a rock star someday!

  • Adam Monroe is a Rock start. Tool and A Perfect Circle.

  • Hi, after 5 months I'm here again... Just wanted to say that everytime I hear your voice, I love music more then anything. I really hope I can buy your cd once...

    Love,

    Adam

  • @monroe12478 you are an INCREDIBLE musician. Thank you so much for making such beautifully, inspiring music. absoulutely love. Thank you..

  • Still your best song - ever!

  • I'm bummed you can't see my face. (It's the "oh-my-god-I'm-blown-away" face.) Words can't describe how good you are. Wow... It's a mix of my favorites, Incubus and Tool. There's some sections that remind me a little of "Behind Blue Eyes." Phrase crescendos and whatnot. Beautiful.. really. I'm amazed.

  • you are very talented.

    nice voice

  • "Guess I'll find a better way to lie..."

    Your music is inspirational to me. It's crazy how coordinated you are.. singing while playing piano like that. Now I know its possible to be that talented. I've got something to strive for now. Badass.

    Keep 'em coming.

  • Thank you very much for the kind words. This one means a lot to me.

  • That is a beautiful song and your voice is amazing! And yeah I gotta agree, I love Maynard and I hear his voice coming out of you...I love it!

  • myspace or something???????

  • Dude, in my eyes (and ears) you're BETTER than all of the piano greats! You are gonna be big, I don't FEEL like you're gonna be big, I KNOW you are. I also wanna comment on DigableDevil's comment, you DO have a Maynard voice, and I wanna say that I love it. I hope you go far on these wings of yours!

  • I can hear maynard in that voice. It makes me happy that people like you are going to be springing up having been influenced by tool and apc. You've done a great job.

  • Bravo! I can't wait for the cd to get to the mailbox. Ok I've got to stop stalking this guy now: I'm behind on laundry. Tee Hee

  • You are honestly amazing. :o I wish there were more artist like you out there. Keep it up!

  • Damn!!!

  • ps: Congratulations!

  • I was looking for some Pearl Jam's songs and I saw your version of Given to fly (perfect by the way) and you have another fan...from Brazil...

    Amazing how you powerful voice and deep lyrics touched me...

  • I really like this one. Obviously quite a personal rendition from the heart, yet easy (for me) to identify with. Especially like:

    "Decide to close your eyes and give in

    Embracing fear and reservation"

    Very good, love your stuff. Hope to hear more from you in the future!

  • Are we a bit narrow-minded sir ?

  • Sorry to hear that you are disillusioned!

  • Grow up man...you expect people to respect what you believe in, don't you think you should do the same?

  • WORD!!! i totally agree with that (the replys, not the narrowminded comment of MIZZOU27)

    this song is again another amazing feat by the talented beautiful Adam :)

  • I have been a fan for quite some time now bro. I hope you come to Missouri sometime, It'd be great to see you live. Keep it up man!

  • you are amazing

  • the song and your voice are incredible.

    i'm speechless too!

    Anywhere I can buy it that isn't iTunes?

  • it's all downloads

    go to AdamMonroeDOTcom

  • This is the best song, you have written.

    Come to Europe, please...

  • i'm speechless.... really incredible song! :)

  • Lol, you do the same thing I do when you sing an emotional part....but you obviously sing ten bazillion time better. one of eyebrows goes up. Obviously, that means you are into it which makes your music enchanting.

  • simply sublime! looking out for your ep

  • This is by far one of the best original songs I've ever heard on youtube.

  • i thinke this song is the best song you've done.. even if most of your cover are amazing! this one is just.. too good!!! i really like it!

  • thank you. this one means the most to me out of all the originals

  • thats awesome!!

  • i always think how cool it is how much he sounds like maynard james keenan

  • Seriously, will you sing to me? LOL

  • amazing.

  • Adam, I would love to hear this song with some guitar, bass and good drumming - starting from the first chrorrus, wich totally blows me away. You are really talented, and this song is just superb - but the extra instruments would really lift it up to an even higher level. And make it a little more rock-sounded - wich I can imagine, that you wouldn't mind :-)

    I am drumming to the song on my table now :-)

    Take care - Kasper Erling

  • When are you coming to Providence, Worcester or Boston? You are incredible!

  • you have such a wonderful voice, you have the talent---dinah.

  • Wow, well done!

    ps. have you come across our Polish band, RIVERSIDE? Maybe you could make a cover of one of their songs... (considering your present musical tastes you might like them).

  • well congrats, you officially have another fan...haha, come play in Columbus or Cleveland!

  • Adam, I'm captured by your talent!! You sing with such great passion, which delivers your message so powerfully. I'm subscribed and looking forward to hearing more :-)

    Adam

  • Amazing work. I'm going to follow your music.

  • Hey ninjaposter...just read all your comments. I really appreciate all the feedback... including the criticism. Take care and have a great weekend

    Adam

  • It's pretty incredible how different your original material is to your influences (Assuming influences extend to the bands you've covered) - But it still retains the same power and sincerity of them. Great work!

  • I love the song so much

    and you voice it's so nice

    sry my english is not so good^

  • cheers dude,,, u know a good tune.. fine selection of covers 2

  • i would like to have this music not just on u tube

  • I'm working on a release of this song. For now you can subscribe to my iTunes Podcast and download the video. Just search my name in iTunes and it will come up

    Adam

  • Hey adam it's Ron I agree with the others about a CD and was curious how you have been..get back at me when you get the chance and make sure to keep up the beautiful work you do.

  • Hi there Adam. Just wanted to comment on your wonderful song. It really is beautiful. Do I hear Tori Amos influences amongst all the others the people have beaten to death in your other discussions? Please do more Tori Amos type stuff! Hope that doesn't offtend :P

    Mark, NZ

  • Yeah...that guy does sound gay. I would watch out if I were you. No, you really are amazing and I enjoy your talent. Now let's see if this guy will let me take off his boots...

  • all i can say is i need a cd. let me sound gay and beg on my knees. jk. But would like the cd just the same.

  • Amazing, and beautiful. The haunting tone really helps the lyrics come along.

  • I think sometimes what makes a song good is that there may have been a true meaning by the composer but the song can still be interpreted and enjoyed from a couple of different perspectives.

  • Well said, and I don't think that any composer should have to commit to what informed his/her song..somehow I think it makes a song less interesting the moment you can say "THIS! is what it is about" preferring the idea of a more layered, ingenious structure :)

  • what does this mean to you then?

  • I'm not sure of the meaning but in the last year I have gone through an atheistic phase only to come out the other side with a new appreciation for God however indifferent he may seem to us. That's what this song makes me think of.

  • This is like the first video I go to when I get online. I found myself humming parts of it during the day... hmm hmmhmm way up high la la la. I'm not kidding this is very good.

  • Thanks man. Of my original writing...this is definitely my favorite and most personally meaningful.

  • This is good. why don't you just write all your stuff instead of translating alternative stuff into ballads?

  • Freakin awesome!

  • i *was* impressed after hearing the hollow, and then i found this... i'm so glad you're writing and not just doing covers. i'm so impressed. i just said that... my socks are rocked. -- Erin

  • Well, I'm happy to have rocked your socks. thanks for the feedback ;)

    Adam

  • Fucking Epic

  • Thanks for Your message:) I hope so that You a announcement:) I don't know what I can do in Myspace... Could You help me?? :) I'm sorry that I torture you:) but I fascinate your music... Sorry on my language:)

    Adam

  • 5/5. not much else to say besides "amazing."

  • beautiful...feeling it through my whole body... - My fear begins to fade

    Recalling all of the times

    I have died

    and will die.

    It's all right.

    I don't mind

    I don't mind. -

    Adam, you know how it all goes, how the world's turning...thanks for that

  • Ah...quite a fitting tool lyric. Thanks for the feedback ;)

    Adam

  • So powerful and intuitive. So many people leave their lives to the cruise control of religion and expect happiness in return. It's not happiness.. it's just the numbing of fear and confusion.

    Epic song in my opinion.

  • Thanks for the comment...you definitely got the message.

    Adam

  • I would say that anybody who leaves their life to the cruise control of religion has missed the point of religion

    I know this is a really old comment to respond to, but whatever

  • great job, u should try with 'Hurt' by NIN

  • ohhh, this is beautiful. I would love to sing with you.....

  • This is outrageous- Your vocal performance is better than 90% of singers with recordings today.

  • You are the one Adam Monroe. Brilliant creativity and excellence in playing. I love your vocal tone as well, genius. Looking forward to your record man.

    Paul.

  • Dude...you are one of the most talented people on youtube.
