A Perfect Circle- Peace, Love, And Understanding

[softcoral]

This is such a good cover.. APC always manages to bring out the dark reality of a song

[laurag333]

What's "funny" : People who think "feelings" are a weakness are the weakest ones of all because there is nothing stronger than Heart. Also, on the other hand, a lot of cheesy self help books are rediculous, and deserve the ridicule. Actual peace, love, and understanding isn't funny at all, but beautiful. Nothing cheesy about life.

[DragonBoneStudio]

@laurag333 It's minds transforming. (: It's playful and serious in the same time... You have a good point Laura-g! (:

[Vitalija100]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! I just discovered this band and I loooovee it! :D it's a shame that I didn't know anything about them earlier though.. :)(

[SmallJuGBelDVic1]

Jade usou essa musica no video dela , que pena aquela menina ):

[coreyhhh]

UGHH...... THIS IS NOT MAYNARD'S VISION. APC, for the most part, is BILLY's project in which he writes the majority of the lyrics/music. I'm sure Maynard has some influence during the writing process but he doesn't deserve all the credit just because he's Maynard.

[samuelLjackson5]

lol I get the top comment in jus about every video i post in

[mrseanpride]

havent listened to these guys in years! glad i decided to give em another listen!

[FtwStraightEdge]

O.o. I just discovered this band.. feeling it may be one of my favorites (:

[je9a3oy]

Its Billy singing lead and Maynard providing the chorus people

[polevaulters22]

@je9a3oy Billy singing? Awesome. Maynard is WAY better though...

[mike115888]

"Whats so funny with peace, love, and understanding?"

GOOD QUESTION.

For real.

[avnaok]

@mike115888 it's "fun" not 'funny'

[Beara0208]

This isn't Maynard, it's Billy.

[Spective]

its billy singing btw, not maynard. lovely tone of voice.

[EliteChiefStark]

This is the 3 things we all need. Peace, love and understanding. It's a shame that people forget that...

[Triplecoregaming]

This songs speaks to each and everyone of you..... U_U

[yeahyeahyeah298]

Peace...Love...Understanding..­.if you know anything its what Maynards all about not judging someone else just let them be in peace and understand that its our want of personal freedom

.......Truly a classic cover

[maleficent421]

some ppl dont understand other ppls points of view but whatever haters gunna hate

[FarcusNS]

Elvis Costello is awesome. But I ADORE this cover.

[elivator398]

Ive been listening to a perfect circle for pretty much all of my thirteen years of life and I just dont know how they do it. I love mayard and especially in tool, don't get me wrong I love this song but might have loved it more if mayard sung it

[Erniesduck123]

I would love to hear Maynard sing this though

[shakeandbake257]

@TheLoveNotWar1000 This song is a cover. the original is by Elvis Costello

[johnnynativeseed]

@shakeandbake257 The original is actually written by Nick Lowe.

[shakeandbake257]

@TheLoveNotWar1000 This is a cover lol

[mangomagnificent]

i love elvis costello, and i only just discovered this cover the other day... it's a lot darker, but it gives you a feel for the darkness of the world sometimes, which goes hand in hand with the meaning of the song. i like it. downloading. :)

[Beastlylion]

really people why leave hateful comments? i love this song as much as counting bodies to the rythm of the war drums

[jeromed2]

@ 2:38 best part

[NobodiesDog]

This is my favorite song for the next 5:07 ...

[dogdonut3]

What's so funny about liking Elvis Costello AND A Perfect Circle...Can't we all just get along. :)

[Gluttonie890]

the entire emotive cd is an amazing gift to us as people it speaks to some people in more than one way not jsut music or the beat but the lyrics and the meaning for those who dislike i spit in your faces

[GuardianDZA]

@Gluttonie890

Why not follow the meaning of the song and respect the fact that not everyone will enjoy it?

It will not make it any less great for those who do like it.

[Gluttonie890]

gotta love apc

[nillocsivad]

It's funny, cause these negative comments are exactly what this song is talking about.

[samuelLjackson5]

I really dont understand what drives a person to go to a website, search for a random song by some random band just to talk shit....like what the fucks the point? go search for something you do like!

[arizonabay07]

@samuelLjackson5 ....and he didn't even say bitch or motherfucker....motherfucker

[AAAV92]

@samuelLjackson5 It's called trolling, and they probably have another tab open with their music while they troll you and others. Don't feed the troll, and he will go somewhere else. Like a Bieber video, unless they like that sort of music.

[samuelLjackson5]

@AAAV92

I kniw, I was just pointing out how pointless it is....they need to get some pussy

[AAAV92]

@samuelLjackson5 We all do.

[samuelLjackson5]

@AAAV92

my girlfriend doesnt



[AAAV92]

@samuelLjackson5 why not?

[samuelLjackson5]

@AAAV92

cuz she has my dick and thats all she needs! duh

[AAAV92]

@samuelLjackson5 that sounds awfully selfish.

[samuelLjackson5]

@AAAV92

well then....im selfish. I just found out my gf is bi and has been wiff a few of my exs

[AAAV92]

@samuelLjackson5 That's the spirit!

[loccnut]

@samuelLjackson5 that's just unfortunate lad. would be worse if u had kids with her then she left u for ur ex. that would sting a bit.

[samuelLjackson5]

@loccnut

I wouldnt have kids with her, I got her two abortions already. now I jus pay for her birth control, fuck condoms!

[Casshern1100]

@samuelLjackson5 They do it just to hear themselves bitch like a little 2 yr old and start crap cuz they're forever alone XD Sorry it took 10 months for someone to find your question and finally answer it.

[P1nku5floydu5]

@samuelLjackson5 People like chaos, they feel better just knowing that other people are miserable. It's why humanity has wars. Everyone's misery is their cause for hatred around the world.

[590275502]

really? People complain about this song? Why? Is it too beautiful for their ears or somthing? Dose it have too much actuall value than what beiber shrieks? my my some people i dont see why this song is being complained about

[missdoerksen1982]

people that add dislikes are obviously have clouded brains 

[bajsabajsa9]

THIS SONG IS SO AWSOME!!! :D

[MusicThirstyBlossom]

This song is SICK. A perfect circle ftw!!!

[Sammy58328]

Some Indian style music at the starting...Anyways sounds great!!

[ProjectileBurn]

i donno why i just cant stand, Billy's voice..i mean he's fucking awesome, love the guitar shit he puts on for the albums, but cmon..the main reason i started listening to APC was cuz of Maynard being their vocalist. im trying to give him a chance tho.

[G0ldesun]

@ProjectileBurn he has an own band if you like him: ashes divide. maybe you didnt know :)

[nolimitnova9]

hauntingly beautiful. a terrific cover

[Sizzlewho]

This is beautiful and I agree with sora995, it is much better than Elvis's. I am not gonna read all the crappy posts, just sharing my thoughts....and A Perfect Circle is AMAZING!

[sora995]

seriously you guys!!??! A perfect Circle is one AMAZING BAND. yeah i said it THEY ARE AMAZING. i have heard that original and i think THIS version definitely TOPS the original. the music is magnificent and artistic. And his voice actually shows the feeling of the song itself. I love it.

[1125billy]

Well, some people get off to a dying world. Thats my understanding. Isn't just funny, causing tyranny, slaughtering our own species, and love. A mooshy word we degrade. The discomfort of love and the enjoyment of hatred, malice, vitality, brutality. All this man wanted to do was enjoy himself by seeing what he could do with this song. Id take somebody singing one of my songs as a honor and complement. Cause it is. but im a retard, I'll soon to figure that out. lol. idc =]

[GrevadosAsCid]

Wow, this is pretty dreadful, isn't it?

[Quicksand71]

@GrevadosAsCid No, it isn't, do me a favor and GTFO. Okay? Thanks. Bye.

[0rgans]

Just find it funny how the comments are so old :P This isn't maynard singing, and this is a cover. So maynard has nothing to do with this song ><

[javierkenjutsoka]

Great song!

[AnthorOne]

But siriusly, I dont like this song, going back to Back to black.

[AnthorOne]

I wil pres dislike just to piss you, blind to the fact that someone kan have his own taste fans, off!!

[karateschzitzeI]

Maynard is a musical genius and 2 dickheads pressed the dislike button because they get all their music from MTV

[GrevadosAsCid]

@karateschzitzeI Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that this song is a total bastardization of an earlier version, could it? Oh, no, those two people couldn't possibly be fans of noted not-really-MTV-promoted musician Elvis Costello, could they? Oh, and let's not forget the fact that MTV has COMPLETELY overlooked Maynard Keenan's other musical abortions, right? ...right?

[MsMindraper]

i love this song xD

[FaustusWasTaken]

Maynard might be my favorite vocalist ever.

[olcrein]

@FaustusWasTaken though i agree with your statement, it is impertinent to this video mainly because this is Billy Howerdel singing :P

[EyeThirdThe]

@FaustusWasTaken This isn't Maynard singing. It's Billy Howerdell.

[yourtheace]

its just a song lol.. you dont have to like it.

[laurag333]

no it's the way it's made fun of .....lol. lol. peace love and understanding is what makes the world go around. not hate. hate has no power here. you can't get your way by scaring somebody...as long as you live with the belief that love rules alll. God rules all..i know i know for you non Christians "oh my god shut the fuck up with your God shit" i know. i used think that too.

[XACTO734]

not my favorite track, but still enjoyable

[DoctorOgrish]

Such a beautiful song. I listen to it everyday. I listen to the whole album everyday actually.

[jackal575]

wow... looks like people enjoy both the original and the APC version but completely forget about the meaning of the song...

[philipplahmfan21]

very nice [:

[JoonasFinland]

I prefer Nick Lowe's own version but this is one of the most original cover version I have ever heard. Plus Maynard is a great singer.

[nonesta13]

@JoonasFinland its actually billy howerdel singing on this song

[Chiboy00]

agreed. but this is Billy singing...

[ironmanLLXL]

people who complain about this, saying it is "poorly re-done" don't look deep enough into it, maynard is trying to show the darker sides of these masterpieces, and put his own feeling into them, i personally think they are amazing

[nyauw]

that's why, i think, the album is call "emotive"

[nolimitnova9]

@ironmanLLXL agreed. its molded so much to the style and soul of apc that it strays from even being a cover and therefore from being subject to judgments based on the original.

[holytoolful]

@nolimitnova9 That's exactly how I feel. The songs on emotive (ALL OF THEM) sound absolutely nothing like the original, and if you listened to the the original and the cover without knowing that it was a cover, you would see absolutely no resemblance between the two songs. Take Annihilation for example, the original is literally COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE COVER IN EVERY WAY.

[fickdichdu]

@ironmanLLXL

its NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOT MAYNARD -.-

[dannyjingu]

@ironmanLLXL Honestly, I don't like this cover, but I APPRECIATE that APC performed this as if they had written it, and ultimatly, that's what makes a stand-out cover. Who wants to listen to another band do a cover EXACTLY the way the original was done? You might as well just listen to the original then, sheesh.

[mysteriousangel96]

@ironmanLLXL i agree.. :) even though im wayyyy late on this comment..haha

[ironmanLLXL]

@mysteriousangel96 Better late than never, I appreciate the feedback lol

[MicrosoftWordStories]

nothing is as good as the original...this was just a poor attempt of being as good as Elvis!

[MakingYourAmends]

i never saw anything on the track saying "ITS BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL!" on it, haha I dont think maynard is attempting to be anything

[dcderek24]

@MicrosoftWordStories elvis doesnt have nething on maynard...

[diamond3677]

For me this song is one of the best songs they put out!! Talk about talent, they have a God given talent!! I can't seem to get enough of it. Peace, Love, Understanding, that's what's up!!

[MicrosoftWordStories]

They cover the song Elvis Castello made famous. They just poorly re did it!

[AntEtches]

Peace, Love and Understanding. Three words to live your life by.

[ecaepevolhturt]

What about truth and freedom?

[AntEtches]

They're good too!

[kenlab77]

Truth is included with love and understanding.. freedom is a bi-product of peace.

[JoaoBio]

@AntEtches

Maybe, just maybe, it is the other way around... ;P

[gmak12345]

thanks for posting this awesome apc song! cant believe it only has 8,000+ hits..

[evmalin]

It's Billy Howerdel

[eric54341]

whose on vocals? it doesn't sound like maynard

[rsjokes]

Peace, Love, and Understanding. It seems many of those who comment on this video do not fully grasp these concepts.

[lostsymphonies64]

You know what I don't understand fully? Well actually I think I do, it's just hard to grasp why it is the way it is...But when discussing an issue such as this, being who performs the song better and all that jazz...are we still locked into these ageless conceptions that one is better than the other? Can we not come to terms with the fact that they are different? Funny world we live in, cause I personally find that every person individually are different...Funny people don't see that.

[RequiemPAPE]

It so sad to see some poeple argue so badly about a peace and love song...

Before to "Love" or "Hate" the song, try to listen, to hear AND understand the meaning of it

[cresinsanit]

amen brother. this was pretty nice.

[TUOKOOBNOSAJ]

People who judge anything, are blind to the truths in this experience we occupy. Give everything your unbiased open mind. Find the perfection in everything..

[lochnarus]

I dont like this song, it sux, waaaaaaaaaaah!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaah!!!! why do people feel the need to even type out why they dont like a song? Like you're a politician trying to convince other people not to listen to it or some shit. Are you trying to get the word out before other people waste their lives listening to it?

[sceincemagicsoul]

Beautiful! I love it!

[Nessera07]

youknow what's not funny, the fact people feel like leaving ironically hateful and rude comments about this song... it's disappointing

[dersh65]

It's not about this song. It's about this version. It is absolutely terrible. I have loved this song for thirty years. Elvis Costello's version is a classic. So Great!!!!

[Nessera07]

if that's how you want to justify senseless insults that's your decision. But there is no need to insult some one who is only showing his appreciation to a song you appreciate as well. it's fine if you don't like it, but it's wrong to splash rude comments around

[RopeGunPmac]

@Nessera07 This song is amazing! F all of the haters.

[egotorturer]

@Nessera07 It definitely is disappointing. There a few people, far and in between, that can truly appreciate something so beautifully remade.

[pfctacdnt]

elvis costello is good but maynard is a fuckin genius and great singer this version blows the other out of the water period

[dersh65]

This version SUCKS!!! I couldn't even get through the whole thing. Elvis Costello's version is the ONLY version.

[pfctacdnt]

are you special or something?

[dersh65]

That's what my mom tells me. LOL

[saxonlight]

The music is great - very nice... tracker music? The vocals ruin the tune... the singing seems flat, overly loud and is painful to listen to.

[Melllwa]

it's the best Song from emotive

[mozey94]

i think it is the best song of all perfect circle!

[rogerdanielpaul]

Dreadful

[dersh65]

Man, I have loved this song since I first heard it 30 years ago. I never thought anybody could ruin it, but I was wrong. This version SUCKS!!!!!!! Listen to Elvis Costello do it and you'll see what I mean. What have you done APC???? You have ruined one of the greatest songs of all time. Shame, shame shame!!!!!

[koolkid2595]

One of the greatest songs of all time? Dude, since when were you the judge of that? Since when was ANYONE the judge of that? This version of the song is something beautiful and i don't think people should hate on it so much because it's a graceful piece of work. And Billy's voice made it the peaceful song it is. So if you don't like this cover of the song. then just don't listen to it.

[dersh65]

This song has been a classic for 30 years. I just think this version is so mundane and boring.

[koolkid2595]

mate, it's a remake. get over it. if you don't like it don't listen to it simple as.

[dersh65]

Actually I'm a Who fan...greatest band of ALL time.

[koolkid2595]

What is it to me if you're a Who fan? So am I? But how could you call them the greatest band of ALL time :| ?

[dersh65]

I've been searching for 40 years for a better one...still haven't. Therefore, they are the greatest band of all time.

[koolkid2595]

TOOL? Karnivool? Bands that are bringing so much more potential that you've not even heard yet? Bands with Yearss to come? Exactly. It's not possible to judge that my friend so you fail I'm afraid.

[420goodweed]

ok thats nice but this APC so get out of here if you don't like them.

As for me this song is wonderful, and pretty chill

[tricky500]

is this maynard singing..?

[Spankie9000]

Songs like this make me think of my dad..... RIP !!

[4wearemany]

My personal favourite from this record!

[Y0utube5ucks]

im stuck between, this, fiddle and the drum and counting bodies like sheep... and aniahlation... FUCK!... I JUST LOVE IT ALL! XDXDXD

[Fenrish91]

I do agree

[tomz1989]

I love this band...their is high-quality...

[tchocksoo]
