People tell me that pandora is shitty, and that it never gives you the music you like. Pandora took me here, so all dem pandora haters are dead wrong.
You are my absolutly favorite, the greatest singer on youtube. I love you and your voice so much. Zombie is wrote for a singer like you. Sorry, my english is very bad.
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
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 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... :)
@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.
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.
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??!"
@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.
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!!!!
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
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.
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?
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
@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.
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 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.
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??
u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murdered in 1945. her body was not fund until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos 30 minutes the dead girl will appear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be save
This is better than the original.
