I have used this song as my message for those global power-elite, pulling the strings of Western Governments today, who terrorize the world with warfare. They are psychopaths.
For those that keep saying they have a guitar,on the part that sounds like a guitar during the big built up section around 2:23 it is a voice. You can hear it stop when whoever sings it take a breath. Interesting vocal effect, but a voice nonetheless.....unless you know of a guitar that breathes?
I honestly would have rathered the studio version without the distortion. It adds unneeded noice and takes away from the gorgeous raw vocals. but it's still a fantastic rendition of a great record
It's so sad how many people repeatedly say (after reading everywhere that these are all vocals) that these are instruments. Seriously, everyone. Go into any decent recording program and select a distortion effect.... Hit record... Feel stupid.

SCS is the shit but u can obviously hear the guitar used on this track, who ever is saying there is no instruments must be deaf call it effects if u want but there is a guitar used on this track, u can hear it in the pre chorus. that still doesnt change the fact that its still a great cover
@Shepard41 Sorry, Shepard, but you're wrong. Record yourself doing backgrounds and put a guitar distortion plug-in on it. You'll hear that it's exactly that result. What you're probably hearing is the distortion specifically on the syllables "ch-chung" that imitate the noise from the original song, though it's present on all the backgrounds.
I am sitting here in amazement. One of my favorite songs, sang better than I think I've ever heard it...including the original. All I can say is "Thank you."
Desafortunadamente no la entiendo mucho, solo se que ellos cantan con el corazon y que voz Dios, de verdad resulta muy refrescante escucharlos, por cable vi la anterior temporada obviamente deseaba que ganase Nota, ahora me gustaria que fuesen ustedes. Felicidades, ya se cómo suena todo en el cielo, gracias otra vez por hacerme sentir allí.
Amazing tallent.. beautiful voices ..you all sing like angels.. Hey World it does not get any better than this.. Street Corner Symphony keep on singing .. ya'll are great.
Amazing tallent.. beautiful voices ..you all sing like angels.. Hey World it does not get any better than this.. Street Corner Symphony keep on singing .. ya'll are great.
I thought this was awesome on the sing off show but this studio version is even better!!! You can hear each part and Jeremy is so very special... not a creep. Lol
This is REAL TALENT. Sorry Idol these guys can REALLY sing and do not need back up to hide any flaws in their voices. There are no effects (other than their own voices that I could hear) in the studio version as some have said... just no screaming in the audience (can't blame um) Again simply AWESOME!!!! I want a CD!
Don't knock the effects. It is an accepted and valid form of a cappella. Sonos uses various pedals and loops on stage every performance. m-pact uses effects through a soundboard all the time. It doesn't affect the pitch, and doesn't count as an instrument, just an extension of the voice and mind of the artist.
I cannot wait for your CD to come out!!! Do you have any idea when that will happen?? Love you guys, your voices are amazing. I don't mean to sound like a crazy fan, I just think you guys are very talented.
Yeah, what DannesKJoldThePirate said. Please release an uneffected studio version. You guys are great as is, you don't need computers to make you sound more like instruments.
Besides, people listening to this want to hear Creep A cappella, so the effects are kind of unnecessary.

There were obviously instruments. The guitar, and some of the percussion. I was hoping for pure acapella but this is epic too. Go Street Corner symphony!! I'll be buying your album when it comes out.
@DBIYBIMWBIU beatboxing isn't everything. The percussion in this song was mainly rhythm, so isn't as noticeable but is critical for keeping the song in time.
Absolutely incredible, though I would also love to hear a studio version without any effects added to voices. I'm quite sure they'd pull it off amazingly well.
Scary Good.Thought they were by far the most musically diverse and creative from the show. No disrespect to the winners who had beautiful harmonies as well just one mans humble albeit brilliant opinion.
this gave me goosebumps, went to itunes bought them ALL. our support makes them Winners. Great, better, best are sound bites. Put your money on the table and enjoy them more. I want more......
Still bitter that they did not win. Best group I have seen on Sing Off. No disrespect to Committed. I loved every song Street Corner sang. Very talented. Thank you guys.
Every time I hear these guys sing, I want to be on a blanket outside, in the summer evening, drinking cold beer with all my friends. They just take me there.
Seriously dig Street Corner Symphony!! Love the fact they harmonise so well! AWESOME GROUP... keep it up, guys - I can't wait for an official album! :)
I know you guys didnt write it, but this song just helped me get through a break up. I listened to this song over and over when I felt shitty. Its a sad song but somehow it inspires and lifts you. You guys nailed it.
I was pissed when the results show placed you in second place.... You guys are absolutely breathtaking! I have never had a more emotional attachment to an acapella song... When I saw that you had a studio version of this song I started sharing it with all of my friends immediately. You guys are the very best!
Sup "LIL" John, yeah ive went over the "Hey soul sister " cover from the sing off I heard your voice a couple times, I'm upset you didnt get a lead in the group... But still I have to say your my favorite! On the other hand, Jeremy, I heard Just One Day, I love the song soo much, it gives me hope for some reason. I have a feeling you didnt intend it to give that feeling though. Anyways you guys houlda won The Sing Off. =-)
@tugboatwilliam I know. When he performed with them on the show it just didn't sound right. Not because of them, but him. They were all blended together and everything and he sounded out of place. And he is a great performer, but still. And every song they did on the show sounded better than the original as well. I dunno what it is .. maybe because they are so tight relationship wise?
I just saw these guy perform in Madison. It was like a out of body experience. It was amazing.... the sounds they make. :) this song was my fav. But they sang an original one that was amzing as well.
THESE GUYS ARE SO SO AWESOME FOR THE MAGIC THAT THEY DO IT TAKES SO MUCH TO MAKE THIS SOUND SO GOOD W/ NO MUSIC AND THEY DID IT TOTALLY THEY SHOULD HAVE WON
There was so much emotion! I liked it better than the original!! I remember watching them perform it on tv and i was amazed by how much emotion was put into the song.
Would love to hear a voices only studio version. You guys are good enough the effects are unnecessary. It does sound awesome however. Does someone have their finger in their lips moving it up and down real fast mimicking guitar strumming?
This left me absolutely breathless. The beauty of it made me cry. I could feel the hurt in my heart and body. You gentlemen are God's gift to the music industry. I actually love your version better than the original, and you give me goosebumps everytime you sing. I love you guys! Stay amazing. <3
Amazing, AMAZING!!! Now who is going to write sings good enough for these guys? After they cut a few very oldies like Ring of Fire? The mixing is gorgeous, I can hear every one and hear all the words too- a rarity. I completely missed Creep while playing the Radiohead CD to death in grad school.
You are all absolutely outstadning! I also hope you get picked up--you're just that good. Y'all planning on heading to Florida anytime? Tampa area? ~hopeful glance~
I would love to be able to see you all mix it up and change leads around. Love when a group is able to do that :) Jeremy is awesome, but, from what I heard, you all can hold your own.
Wow... I can't wait to visit Nashville to see you guys. The guy that sang most of the accompaniment is amazing i first noticed him on the beatles "Lonely People". You guys are amazing.
Oh and this song wasn't just in my top 3 for performances on the show - it was THE top performance in my book! Amazing, and The Sing-Off was uber talent packed this year.
@iheartpets yeah it was i wanted commited..scs..otr and back beats to win..but not every one can wing.,..i just hope they get noticed...but this is a studio version..so maybe that is a good sign
Love you guys! I felt you were absolutely the most original group and had the most artistic potential for a full album. I did a cappella in college and adore your blend and cohesion as a group. You are AWESOME!!!!
@lilroo5986 The best thing you can do is get as public as you can. Put out press releases about the contests you won, and any public performances you have. Once you start moving up Google/Yahoo search results when people search "a cappella Oklahoma", that's when people find you. If the producers can find you, they'll approach you to set up a private audition. That's what happened to my group before the first season, though we declined the audition. We're perfectly happy being small-time. :)
AMAZING job...the "drums" on this song, the rewind on Hey Soul Sista, the transitions on Come On Eileen, the effortless key changes in Down on the Corner...I have so many good memories of you guys from this show. I will buy whatever you record off of iTunes and any CD you make!
This sounds awesome! You guys all sounded amazing on The Sing Off. As a member of an acapella group myself, I gotta say that I really love how you guys blend so well, even during live recordings. Looking forward to more of your guys' stuff in the future.
(PS- A silly afterthought, but one day, I'm hoping to take a small group of talented guys from the group I'm in and audition for a later season of the show! Got any pointers? Heheh.)
When I first heard this (the studio version), I was a little disappointed because instruments had been added. Then I come here and discover it is all voices. Amazing!! I am SO looking forward to a CD full of this!
@RJDelk Guys from Street Corner correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there are no instruments on this recording. All the sounds are vocals - heavily processed, but still vocals only.
@acapellafeller Yes...that's what I was saying. When I first heard it, I THOUGHT there were instruments, but then discovered here that it was all vocals. I love it!
Fantastic performance of a song that is a classic. You guys really captured the mood of the song and I still cant believe it all voices! The harmonies are beautiful the drums excellent everything is awesome.
I also love your Come on Eileen performance.You guys introduced me to that song :) very fun and poppy sound.
Cant wait to see what songs you guys will do next! I wish you all the best of luck and keep making beautiful music for us.
Dont matter to me who won the sing off. SCS are on their way. In a time where people are hungry for something honest, real, pure and authentic YOU ARE IT!!
I cant wait to hear everything you have to offer. Bravo!!!
I've listened to this over and over. It leaves me breathless. Without a doubt the Best by far. If I had to choose one song to listen to every day this would be it!
@2011stockholm Go to the CASA website and search for a Deke Sharon blog entry called "How to get on The Sing Off next year." There is at least one other blog entry from someone who describes their own experience at their audition for the show. Both will be very helpful.
I swear. Ya'll are so effing amazing. I just rape the repeat on this. No biggie. The beat boxing sounds like a legit drum set. SO amazing. Pleeeeaaaase tell me you're getting a record deal?!
Oh and also, hey there, knock on Mr. Folds' door! He's right there in town! He produced Amanda Palmer's solo record and did an amazing job--why not one for you? Start a kickstarter campaign! I'd donate in a heartbeat, and I have a feeling a lot of America would too! Or, do you have something else in your hat? I'll keep watching!
I really love SCS and was in their corner to win (though everyone was amazing.) However, I sort of think this has a lot of effects that aren't needed. Everything sounds wonderful, and had I not heard this on the show, it'd be perfect--but if that's not a real guitar, it sounds like there are too many effects to make voice *sound* like a guitar. I didn't think that was lacking in the original I saw on air. However, I love you all--keep rocking. I may make a trip from Knoxville to see you soon!
You guys are absolutely amazing. The sounds you produce are mind-boggling.
I felt for the little guy because he never really got any camera time however, i'll bet he is an important part of that great harmony you produce. Beatbox guys...the best. The lead singer Jeremy has an incredible voice. I hope that Sony picks you guys up because I would buy your album in a heartbeat. Great job everyone!
@lazerjim123 Haha, as the "little guy," I can assure you that it's my job (when on an accompaniment part) to not be noticed. That's part of what makes the group so great. No one tries to grandstand when they need to blend. Now that we're off the show though, look forward to a little more diversity in the SCS "lead" parts. Don't get us wrong, every single one of us is a capable lead :-)
@strasseneckesinfonie Strassneckinfonie I I gave downloaded all your tracks and what I realize is that everyone is a standout performer. The beautiful part about Acapella is that you can hear each person in the performance distinctly. The bass and percusion are excellent, the harmony produces a pure and full tonal quality that reverberates right through you and I think you can all agree that Jeremy's lead voice is really good. Your rendition of Creep blows away the Radiohead 's version.
@strasseneckesinfonie Hey, "little guy," we know all six of you are rock stars--I wish there had been ten contracts available because every single group was awesome. I did have to half-chuckle when y'all started "Fix You" on the live show, at the five heads at one heights and then the one lone kid doing his own thing heightwise. ;-)
This studio version, BTW, kicks just as much ass as your live performance....
@strasseneckesinfonie ...The only air time I saw spotlighting John's singing was his backup on Eleanor Rigby which was really good. Actually, that's when I noticed that both Mark and Adam have great voices too. I have rarely gotten excited over musicians in the past 10 or 12 years, but you guys seriously ROCK!
@strasseneckesinfonie I noticed you since the beginning, that's what is great about SCS, we can hear each and all of you. Plus you are so handsome! The attention not given to you is what made me notice you!!!! I'm looking forward too, to something where we can hear a little bit more of the rest of you, not that I don't like Jeremy, I love all of you!
@strasseneckesinfonie - Dude- you're the little guy! You guys were great and although I loved every group this season - I think ya'll were the one I'd most pay to see. Committed is awesome, but I already have boyz II men albums. SCS brought a new sound to the mix. The Soul Sister song clutched it in my book. I've listened over and over to your performances and agree with lazerjim123. The judges should have recognized you for your contribution. Good job!
@strasseneckesinfonie Hey, "little guy" ...You, with your sweet falsetto/tenor are the olive in the martini, the A-1 on the steak, the salt on the margarita .. yes, the cherries on the cheesecake ....when your fans say they want to see more of you .. don't be modest! Just smile and take a bow and get out there for your fans! :)
This is mind blowing, nothing short of phenomenal. Acapella at it very finest. Thank you for perfecting your craft and sharing it with the world. I would love to her you guys sing Rob Thomas' "Street Corner Symphony"
@lazerjim123 Hey, there's other labels BESIDES SONY, maybe I'll sign the bastards to DaddyRichIsPoorMusic ? eh eh? Guys, i'll give you $5.00 advance each and a 12 pack of Miller High life lite!!! That's firm, take it or leave it! HA LOL. You know I love yall, now get outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean it!!!!!! OUT!!!!!!
I rarely listen to the radio...haven't for years, so I never heard this song before the Sing Off. It's growing on me. This studio version is simply mind-blowing. I can't believe this is a Capella!!!!! You guys are simply awesome!
@strasseneckesinfonie Any chance of hearing full-length recordings of the other songs you guys performed on the show? I'd LOVE to hear Hey, Soul Sister in its entirety! My group is going to be learning that song next based on your phenomenal arrangement.
There's no doubt that Thom is a legend, and this has nothing to do with taking away from his genius, but I truly think that Jeremy actually sings this song better than Thom does. Not a slight to Thom, just that Jeremy is truly THAT good.
I have used this song as my message for those global power-elite, pulling the strings of Western Governments today, who terrorize the world with warfare. They are psychopaths.

There was so much emotion! I liked it better than the original!! I remember watching them perform it on tv and i was amazed by how much emotion was put into the song.

This was done with voices only no instruments and it blew the original away. Pure and Honest. I love it.

Would love to hear a voices only studio version. You guys are good enough the effects are unnecessary. It does sound awesome however. Does someone have their finger in their lips moving it up and down real fast mimicking guitar strumming?

This left me absolutely breathless. The beauty of it made me cry. I could feel the hurt in my heart and body. You gentlemen are God's gift to the music industry. I actually love your version better than the original, and you give me goosebumps everytime you sing. I love you guys! Stay amazing. <3

Amazing, AMAZING!!! Now who is going to write sings good enough for these guys? After they cut a few very oldies like Ring of Fire? The mixing is gorgeous, I can hear every one and hear all the words too- a rarity. I completely missed Creep while playing the Radiohead CD to death in grad school.

You are all absolutely outstadning! I also hope you get picked up--you're just that good. Y'all planning on heading to Florida anytime? Tampa area? ~hopeful glance~
I would love to be able to see you all mix it up and change leads around. Love when a group is able to do that :) Jeremy is awesome, but, from what I heard, you all can hold your own.

Wow... I can't wait to visit Nashville to see you guys. The guy that sang most of the accompaniment is amazing i first noticed him on the beatles "Lonely People". You guys are amazing.

Love you guys! I felt you were absolutely the most original group and had the most artistic potential for a full album. I did a cappella in college and adore your blend and cohesion as a group. You are AWESOME!!!!

@lilroo5986 The best thing you can do is get as public as you can. Put out press releases about the contests you won, and any public performances you have. Once you start moving up Google/Yahoo search results when people search "a cappella Oklahoma", that's when people find you. If the producers can find you, they'll approach you to set up a private audition. That's what happened to my group before the first season, though we declined the audition. We're perfectly happy being small-time. :)

You guys Totally should have WON!
when i heard you on the first song of the first show (with all groups) i said-Woah! they're good!
'Little guy' you are soo cute! I love when i can pick out your sound out of the group like in hey soul sister.
I think that this was of my top 3 or 4 performances this year. and i LOVED all of them. Jeremy has such a good voice and a great stage personality.
All of you guys are so talented and you should have won.

AMAZING job...the "drums" on this song, the rewind on Hey Soul Sista, the transitions on Come On Eileen, the effortless key changes in Down on the Corner...I have so many good memories of you guys from this show. I will buy whatever you record off of iTunes and any CD you make!

This sounds awesome! You guys all sounded amazing on The Sing Off. As a member of an acapella group myself, I gotta say that I really love how you guys blend so well, even during live recordings. Looking forward to more of your guys' stuff in the future.
(PS- A silly afterthought, but one day, I'm hoping to take a small group of talented guys from the group I'm in and audition for a later season of the show! Got any pointers? Heheh.)

When I first heard this (the studio version), I was a little disappointed because instruments had been added. Then I come here and discover it is all voices. Amazing!! I am SO looking forward to a CD full of this!

@RJDelk Guys from Street Corner correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there are no instruments on this recording. All the sounds are vocals - heavily processed, but still vocals only.

I also love your Come on Eileen performance.You guys introduced me to that song :) very fun and poppy sound.
Cant wait to see what songs you guys will do next! I wish you all the best of luck and keep making beautiful music for us.

@2011stockholm Go to the CASA website and search for a Deke Sharon blog entry called "How to get on The Sing Off next year." There is at least one other blog entry from someone who describes their own experience at their audition for the show. Both will be very helpful.

I really love SCS and was in their corner to win (though everyone was amazing.) However, I sort of think this has a lot of effects that aren't needed. Everything sounds wonderful, and had I not heard this on the show, it'd be perfect--but if that's not a real guitar, it sounds like there are too many effects to make voice *sound* like a guitar. I didn't think that was lacking in the original I saw on air. However, I love you all--keep rocking. I may make a trip from Knoxville to see you soon!

You guys are absolutely amazing. The sounds you produce are mind-boggling.
I felt for the little guy because he never really got any camera time however, i'll bet he is an important part of that great harmony you produce. Beatbox guys...the best. The lead singer Jeremy has an incredible voice. I hope that Sony picks you guys up because I would buy your album in a heartbeat. Great job everyone!
lazerjim123 1 year ago 33
@lazerjim123 Haha, as the "little guy," I can assure you that it's my job (when on an accompaniment part) to not be noticed. That's part of what makes the group so great. No one tries to grandstand when they need to blend. Now that we're off the show though, look forward to a little more diversity in the SCS "lead" parts. Don't get us wrong, every single one of us is a capable lead :-)
strasseneckesinfonie 1 year ago 52
@strasseneckesinfonie Strassneckinfonie I I gave downloaded all your tracks and what I realize is that everyone is a standout performer. The beautiful part about Acapella is that you can hear each person in the performance distinctly. The bass and percusion are excellent, the harmony produces a pure and full tonal quality that reverberates right through you and I think you can all agree that Jeremy's lead voice is really good. Your rendition of Creep blows away the Radiohead 's version.
lazerjim123 1 year ago
@strasseneckesinfonie Hey, "little guy," we know all six of you are rock stars--I wish there had been ten contracts available because every single group was awesome. I did have to half-chuckle when y'all started "Fix You" on the live show, at the five heads at one heights and then the one lone kid doing his own thing heightwise. ;-)
This studio version, BTW, kicks just as much ass as your live performance....
dqDST1913 1 year ago
@strasseneckesinfonie ...The only air time I saw spotlighting John's singing was his backup on Eleanor Rigby which was really good. Actually, that's when I noticed that both Mark and Adam have great voices too. I have rarely gotten excited over musicians in the past 10 or 12 years, but you guys seriously ROCK!

@strasseneckesinfonie I noticed you since the beginning, that's what is great about SCS, we can hear each and all of you. Plus you are so handsome! The attention not given to you is what made me notice you!!!! I'm looking forward too, to something where we can hear a little bit more of the rest of you, not that I don't like Jeremy, I love all of you!

@strasseneckesinfonie - Dude- you're the little guy! You guys were great and although I loved every group this season - I think ya'll were the one I'd most pay to see. Committed is awesome, but I already have boyz II men albums. SCS brought a new sound to the mix. The Soul Sister song clutched it in my book. I've listened over and over to your performances and agree with lazerjim123. The judges should have recognized you for your contribution. Good job!

There's no doubt that Thom is a legend, and this has nothing to do with taking away from his genius, but I truly think that Jeremy actually sings this song better than Thom does. Not a slight to Thom, just that Jeremy is truly THAT good.
