  • gorgeousness and gorgeousity!

  • @Noemx1 It's a customizable online radio station.

  • Imcredible. You put it in a whole different kind of meaning behind the song full of truth

  • I was just listening to music on Pandora.. And this song came on.. I stopped what I was doing, and was like.. whoa... So I came here.. And bookmarked this song xD

  • @scully2363 lol me too ><

  • Who is pandora... ¿? :1

  • @Noemx1 It is a internet radio O_O

  • This song makes me cry. Simply beautiful.

  • Tbh, I like the cranberries better, but his is great too, better than most covers I've heard :)

  • I literally just woke up from a dream, i was at a Cranberries concert but they were singing Jay's version of Zombie! had to get on YouTube and listen to this

  • I love this song so much, kudos

  • I use to listen to this awhile for like 30 times a day while playing xbox live... i never found it again on my phone until I barely got on the computer and searched for it... :)

  • Listened to 50+ times... still not sick of it

  • Awesome Version!! You should check out ours :)

    With love,

    -the Tuesday Nights

  • very good voice oO

  • THUMBS UP GOD DAMN IT!!!!!

  • Do you mind if I borrow this cover for a fake Resident Evil movie reboot trailer I'm working on? You'll receive full credit!

  • I love this song so much and I love the voice of Jay Brannan, he is a great singer and actor....

  • I love it, but personally, I never got what zombies had to do with this song.

  • @yopend It's talking about the violence that's been going on in ireland since the early 19th century. It's the same fight, mindless violence. Zombies.

  • @yopend Zombie -- is referring to the antagonists that participated in the conflict in Northern Ireland. She (Dolores O'Riordan) is labeling them zombies because the violence is mindless..."what's in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie"...it's a very power song. And you should check our the original if you like it.

  • I <3 You Jay Brannan

  • wooow an amazing cover really O.o <3

  • wow.... very very very good... amazing.... best version i've ever heard ;-)

  • zzZZZzzZZZ oh, Video already over lol

  • zombie

  • A good cover, but it lacks the palpable emotion of the original for me. I think it's just really difficult to cover material that's so personal in nature - to Dolores O'Riordan that is.

  • @1hipster1: I absolutely agree. You listen to O'riordan's version and it tears you apart with its raw power and emotion. This one, well, he does have a pretty voice, and the arrangement is ...pretty. But it lacks fire. It's as if Justin Bieber covered Freddie Mercury or Miley Cyrus covered Janis Joplin.

  • thanks for sharing your "opinion"

    

  • @oldei: "You're welcome," sir (or ma'm).

  • i fucking love this song!

  • Every time I get on Youtube to listen to music, I always think, "Who's that amazing guy who did that cover of Zombie the Pandora plays all the time? DAMMIT, why do I ALWAYS forget to see what his name is??!"

    Well I finally found you. >:O HAH.

  • @CandiedSnails lol i know i always here it on my city and colour station and i always forget to check who it is! now i will have it, thank you itunes.

  • Absolutely Brilliant. One of my favorite covers of all time. I bought the album because of how good that song was. Keep on singing Jay

  • Guys, jay is a very talented and awesome person, but this album is called In Living COVER, he didn't write this song! Learn the facts before you say something stupid. But i still love you Jay!!!!

  • Why love Jay Brannan???

    He has such an amazing voice.

    Every song he sings/writes has deep meaning.

    Every song he sings/writes is flooded with emotion.

    He is such a beautiful man.

    He is himself and is proud.

    He loves his supporters.

    He's such a talented actor.

    Jay Brannan is P.E.R.F.E.C.T <3

  • better than the original! :D

  • I love harmonizing with this song so much =D

  • that cello sounds DELICIOUS!

  • amazing.... And i'm not easily impressed...

  • wow this is a great cover. the original is great hard to beat and he did it. i relly like it. way to go

  • This is just the most beautiful cover I've ever heard, and your voice is incredible. I love the instrumental, the use of just strings really brings the song alive, I don't suppose you'd consider putting up just the backing for me to use? *bats eyelashes* xx

  • Thumbs up if Pandora sent you here

  • @Delta6238  thank God! awesome

  • @Delta6238 pandora?

  • I think of cover songs as those of synthetic diamonds. It's very beautiful, perfect and flawless. But an original diamond is sought more because it was made naturally, and there's a story behind it despite its imperfections.

  • This version is absolutely amazing... the best cover of this song I've ever heard!

  • Absolutely amazing

  • i love this song .. <3

  • Yes! I found the Zydeco Open song!

  • @crimsonquill13 I just got back from WGI and was looking for this song because I loved their show so much!!! :D

  • that cello sound fricking awesome

  • I like the way he sings it :D

  • To man negative comments, either to your version or the original. I like the original, I like this one. Some people only like one or none but whatever, that's fine. Who really cares?

  • NOT EVEN GAY. BUT THIS GUY IS WAY BETTER THAN THE CRANBERRIES

  • way to ruin an amazing song. 

  • Gostei! Parabéns!

    Abraço!

  • Ummm yes! Love this. Definitely better than the original.

  • 14 zombies disliked the video!!!!

  • This is beautiful :) i think i like it better than the original.....

  • I love the original and this is at least just as good :)

  • A guard did this for their song and it was amazing ! <3 fell in love with it immediately

  • @GuardMiks

    Zydeco Open? This show is the reason I'm auditioning for them next year :)

  • @KBeth917 Yes their show is amazing <3

  • loove it :)

  • Replay button=Raped

  • I totally abused the replay button.

  • I keep hearing MSN lol

  • pandora, thank you for finding this song for me, way better than the original

  • @TheShinakame Me Too :D

  • Your voice is so beautiful while you sing this, it gave me chills.

  • I found this cover on Pandora radio and its so much better than the original :)

  • one of my favorite songs, ever, this is a great rendition.

  • This cover stirs so much more emotion in me than the original. <3

  • I applaud your voice, sir.

  • This is good, and if you take out the Cranberries comparison, it's amazing. Unfortunately, while I thought it's an awesome cover (and I bought it from iTunes), it makes me really want to hear the original. The original is classic and amazing and there's no way you can compare him to the Cranberries fairly, but this is still a great cover

  • love love love it!!!

  • 10x better than the cranberries version

  • @zeplin160 Wow you really have no idea what you are talking about, I'm amazed.

  • @zeplin160 there is actually, really no comparison to the Cranberries. The original always will be the best. However I do have to agree that this cover is awesome.

  • Good stuff

  • yay

  • There is absolutely nothing special about this cover. The guy is talented for sure. But as a cover in itself it lacks all of the power and emotion of the original. This cover is clean definitely but it lack passion and seems visionless.

  • @sanctious I think you lack passion and seem visionless.

    I personally love this cover, i also heard it on pandora and i fell in love. FANTASTIC job friend. You just made a new fan.

  • @christopher2step  Wow that was an original come-back.

  • @sanctious eh maybe not, but it got the point across. I guess if you dont feel it, then you dont feel it. Your opinion is your own =D

  • @sanctious I agree even though he's an amazing artist. It's too subdued for me. I really want to hear him bust out that chorus like the original. This is only half way there.

  • I listen to your version not the cranberries! haha great job. Do u have a tutorial for the guitar?? can't quite figure out how the chorus would be played with just the acoustic guitar.

    Thanks!

  • hey man, I listen to yur version not the cranberries, haha. u have a tutorial for this one?? i can't quite figure how to play the chorus... can you use the same chords as the verse??

    Thanks!

  • LOOOVEEEE IT<3

  • just as good as the original if not bettter, your talented man.:)

  • This is beyond amazing.

  • i heardthis on my a day to remember pandoira channel xD

  • i couldnt believe this was on pandora on the a day to remember channel...so glad they played this for me!

  • @hurleytwin999 same thing happened to me. same song same channel haha

  • I smell an america idol audition?

  • I love that voice.

  • you sorta sound like ben gibbard from death cab for cutie and postal service?
