As a huge Verts fan (one of the few in England....no bugger has heard of them here....bloody heathens) I have to say this is a fantastic rendition of one of my favourite songs :)
@salvatorems Steve graduated from UNC in 2009 and nows works full-time for the University at the General Alumni Association. He still performs occasionally in local venues around Chapel Hill. This song was from his very FIRST concert as a Clef in Fall 2005 (age 18!) - be sure to check out his songs from the remaining 3 1/2 years as a Clef on this same channel - Another Day In Paradise, Dreaming With A Broken Heart, Try, Heat Of The Moment, Boondocks, King Of Wishful Thinking, Boston, etc...
I would have to say this is 99.99999% close to the real song. The soloist, Steve McQuiad's voice is just so fitting! If Matt Scannell is thinking of quitting Vertical Horizon, Steve McQuaid should be approached. Great song and great version. It never fails to enlighten my day whenever I listen to it.
@kevlinefm Seeing as Keith has left the band, without Matt there is no VH... indeed without Matt and with Keith there still would be no VH, since he's written almost all of their recent material... plus his guitar skills would be somewhat difficult to surpass.
@speeddemon29853 You obviously miss my point completely... I was replying to another point made where the person said Matt was leaving. I'm a massive VH fan, and I say again. Keith has left the band, which as a hardcore fan, has pretty much killed them off for me. I know Matt is still there, thats bleedingly obvious.
I wish I had known about these guys before American Idol, but I am so glad that they've been brought to the forefront. They are all so amazing and extremely talented.
Anoop Desai, an 2009 Idol contestant, was a member of this college a capella group for 4 years. You can spot him in this vid to the right wearing glasses.
Well, Steve is still in the group... His most recent songs are on this channel and are "Heat Of The Moment" (Spring 2008)and "We Weren't Crazy" (Fall 2008). He's got a new one that I just heard them do that will be debuted at their Spring Concert in April - I'll have it up here probably in May.

You all should watch Dreaming with a Broken Heart with Steve singing solo in it. Sounds just like John Mayer...

@s1monz I beg to differ. I just saw Matt in concert a month ago and VH just released an album and he's still the lead singer.
