The Spill Canvas - The Tide (Acoustic)

[ZakAust]

I wonder why he's tuned 3 steps down.. Must have been having one of those voice 'days'. I fucking HATE those days! haha

[gugu1314]

So so excited they're getting back together! Proud backer number 537! Lol

[DanB4004]

the best performance of the tide by far

[LinTheAngel16]

i paused my porn for this song

[SilentAssassin333]

Such an awesome guitarist, lyricist, singer, composer but man... wow ohh so modest... True rockstar. I salute you Nick! :)

[TuesdayNightsFeed]

@SilentAssassin333 out of all the covers none compares to how great he is :)

[armorforsleepbecky]

I miss these guys! So much! Thanks for the share!

[Be4n]

@xtheatrexqueenx Get in line ;-)

[nickjwhitaker]

4 people never forgot everything they ever heard

[kneegrow8210]

Best live performance by a mile. To th 8th power.

[screamaddiscream]

Is it just me or does Nick look kinda like an Ewok... lol love these guys!

[xHeartStopsBeating]

3:20 Front row: Hot gy allert wearing the stripes o:

[ELDLtenors]

musical and amazing!

[XxmarsfreakxX]

Love it!!!!!!! So sad:(

[musicsaveslives44]

Spill is getting back I have heard from three people in Su fu now...indee label...it'll be a while but it will happen

[mortenkoch1991]

Hmm do i dare to say the lyrics is just as good as John Mayers ?

[etmet1]

@mortenkoch1991 ummm i hope to god you never compare nick to john mayer! nick is so much more talented

[mortenkoch1991]

@etmet1 What? John Mayer is far beyond Nicks level. Im a bigger fan at spill canvas music than mayers, but i still have some sense - everybody know John Mayer is god in the music work, when it come to talent and practice.

[OscRawrar]

@mortenkoch1991 Well compared to a John Mayer average lyric, this is better.

@etmet1 This is not true, he John Mayer writes simpler songs in certain respects, and for certain songs. But John Mayer never exerts himself playing his songs, as in, they are easy for him. So overall John does seem to be the more advanced. But don't be so negative to comparing musicians, it's the similarities that spot the differences.

[goodluckxangela]

He puts so much emotion into it, this song gets me every time <3

[ShaneHall182]

Man, this guy is a great musician.

[thebrigiiantzy]

dislike? you're fucking IDIOT!:|

[itsyaboibenji]

Hey pals. Check my channel out. Show some llooooove homez ;)

[fendrguitar10995]

to bad they broke up =( (well on hiatus)

[XboxorMat]

@fendrguitar10995 Record management is a tough thing to deal with. All management wants Top-40 pop. Some artists will stand up for them self but sadly that never ends well.

[musicsaveslives44]

this passion...this emotion...this beauty...this is why I fell in love with the spill canvas...where did this all go?

[XboxorMat]

@musicsaveslives44 Record management. This does not sell as many copies as some meaningless pop song that you will play out in 2 months. It's the same reason most other things are now designed to fail. It's all about the bottom line, how much income and how long until they need to buy more.

[Inkd6]

Love it

[akirachan01]

The most beautiful song I've ever heard, lyrics and music and everything. Nothings touched my heart like this.

[lissa1618]

Awwwww dude looked like he was bout 2 cry thats soo messed up

[supercaulin]

2 people missed the like botton..

[MandiandKassie]

they never sang this at the concert i went to and i was like awwww they don't sing it very much anymore tho

[Luv4SensesFail]

"heavens not a place you go where you die, its that moment in life when you actually feel alive" my favorite quote..ever :] The spill canvas is love <3

[iLoveDinoRawrsz]

OMG I love this song. The way he sung it almost made me cry. It was so deep and emotional. He looked like he was gonna cry towards the end. I can't say this for most musicians, but he sings amazing live. I had almost had an eargasm near the beginning.

[Melissafoolz]

I love this song, its so deep.

[TheMrLegitz]

Incredible.

[latinoloves]

Ive never heard anything so beautiful.

[turtlesinabox]

amazing guitar.

[turtlesinabox]

this just proves you don't have to sell out to be great, and famous.

or conform to being like most typical music artists now days.

it's all the same, and it's nice seeing someone different who is actually excelling with his music career. :)

i hope these guys blow up, and get way famous.

and they will :p

[IwouldRatherStayOut]

@turtlesinabox they sold out :'( I'm very upset

[CRyan881]

@IwouldRatherStayOut Thats what bands normally do to make money. It isn't selling out, its furthering your career.

[IwouldRatherStayOut]

@CRyan881 so making music just to make more money isn't selling out? lol these guys used to make music about how they actually felt, now I'm not saying that their new music can't be an expression of happiness, but where'd the acoustic feel to it go? Way too over-produced if you ask me

[Thewriter317]

@IwouldRatherStayOut I agree with most of what you said, how the acoustic feel is better. But what you are saying basically is that they sold out because you don't like their new music, I don't agree with that. Do you know them personally? Did they say they were making music for money?

[IwouldRatherStayOut]

@Thewriter317 Yeah, you're right, I may be a little spiteful towards The Spill Canvas for changing their sound. I guess nobody really knows unless they know them. Happy Holidays!

[Thewriter317]

@IwouldRatherStayOut I'm glad there is still nice people on here! haaha Happy Holidays!

[IwouldRatherStayOut]

@Thewriter317 Same here "D

[CRyan881]

@IwouldRatherStayOut You still didn't catch the point. THEY ARE FURTHERING A CAREER. Yes, there music doesn't sound the way it used to, but as I stated earlier, they have families to feed. When music becomes THAT much of my life, I look at it to make income - and to conform to what more people enjoy, even if it doesn't sound "exactly like it used to." He still has his great voice, and a great band backing him.

[iDinozilla]

His voice<3 This song<3 

[smashbrosdojo090]

I love it how he gets so intense at the end and then hes like, "Thank you guys... thank you" lol great song

[shadowyravenous]

They are truly talented but I'm afraid if they become really popular, they will develop this diva attitude. But Nick is such a talented person how it he not blowing up the charts!

[emismiles]

made me cry the first time i heard it. i wish my lyrics where this meaningful, it saddens me that music like this cant be publicized instead of the upbeat garbage we're brainwashed into liking. listening to this make me wonder why i even listen to lady gaga

[shadowyravenous]

@emismiles Same here, after I discovered TSC I kept on comparing them to the music I listen to, and as the same, I compared them to Lady Gaga and she's good but TSC are inspiring!

[MissMetalcore]

Nick Thomas gives me hope for this world.

[AyushiAysegul]

google mp3iiiiify to download this song from youtube.

[RomanticalEmotional]

Omg. The guy at 3:22 is amazing. Nothing compared to Spill, of course! If people could marry bands, I would marry this one <3

[saftey182]

I don't care how many times I listen to this song, it still evokes the same emotion every time.

[scottiecurtin]

@saftey182 Same here. Amazing lyrics to such a nice groove. 5*

[internetFaye]

his voice is intense.

[shebrokeyourthrown1]

Song gives me gooseadabumps haha. love it

[thebigmanism]

OM NOM NOM I'D FUCK HIS TOES

[UzedChemicalzz]

Hahaha, i've heard things such as "damn his hot i wanna fuck him", "he's yum i wanna eat/lick him". but NEVER have i heard anyone say that they'd fuck someones toes. lmao thats halarious.

[superxmike]

@thebigmanism ahahha wtf

[TheMcSqueakers]

Elegant voice: "Thank you."

Lol I love this song.

[marmiteislush]

come england(:

[thebigmanism]

@marmiteislush

cum in me at england?

[Bryce6809]

they were just there. now you gotta wait your turn. they gotta please their mainstream US fans first :)

[liveloveburndie69]

He's so Into the music.. I want to be able to get lost in the music like that one day, just that, i don't have to be famous or anything, i just wanna be able to play and be happy with channling my emotions through music.

[aneasygoodbye]

he has his guitar tuned a step up.....so its the equivalent of having the capo on the second fret.

[christhebassist425]

spill canvas is amazing..does he play this song the same as the standard tabs just a half step down tuning??

[shawnlue]

Don't know where to get tabs but its really not that hard! GL!

[crzyguitarkid15s]

this song is soo amazing i just got a new acoustic nd i need too learn this. please any tabs will help :)

[koreankoffee]

does anyone know the tuning for his guitar for this? is it a half step drop d flat?

[hillahbrite]

e flat, no drop d

[margi1109]

love the spill canavs<3

does anyone know where Nick Thomas (lead singer) was when he performed this concert?

[5martyn5]

doonttt think i've heard a version of this song that i dont like! pure amaze =]

[rockettdawg]

ive listened to this every fucking day. AMAZING

[turtlesinabox]

@rockettdawg 1 year later...... u dont anymore........ i remember.

[onetreehill1122]

[spaceace08]

Never heard these guys before but fk me - awesome lyrics!

[littlebrittle18]

great music right here

[AndyC36]

This version is so much better than the new edited version they have.

[xMaddyy13x]

oh my god. he is so amazing. i have fallen in love with every single one of their songs. :)

[bolognaraptor]

poop

[hmp222]

god he is an amazing artist... honestly when i first just saw him i was like how'd that guy get into a band... I know why :D He's amazing.

[bolognaraptor]

No ones gives a shit if you cry, your a stupid whore. go cut yourself.

[xHarlequin]

Not very many artists are this amazing live...

Nick sings it even better than the recorded version =)

[mistaalig]

this makes me cry..its so true.

[CandiesAndSparklers]

This is so beautiful... you should provide a download for it. Or even sell it on Itunes as a cover. Just gorgeous.

[CandiesAndSparklers]

Eek, why did I say cover? xD I meant to say, this solo version should be sold on iTunes. Beautiful. The electric version is gorgeous too, I'd love to buy it.

[Lnoobl]

eh??? the studio version is entirely acoustic too

although this version is better

[bigboo71289]

its so beautiful

I might cry...maybe not...(shnifffle)

[BrianaInWonder]

nick thomas is the most amazing man on this earth.

[TheFaShow]

these songs are so real.

it gives me goosebumps.

[hmp222]

I have to agree. every time i hear him my hair stands up... he's AMAZING

[brettsk8]

absolutely the best band ever..

[brebabbbbyx13]

hes so amazing.

[onearmedstilts]

Absolutely amazing. Thanks for the upload.

[mquis]

That is awesome.

[OceanMinded180]

wow...even more powerful here than the studio version. i got chills from this one...

[VvRootBeervV]

ditto

[AznBaller4Life]

=P The Tide is already acoustic.

Nonetheless kickass song

[Traumweltleben]

There is also an electric live version.

[astridKIDDO]

@Traumweltleben yeah, but the acoustic one is sooooo much better:)

[jasam89]

@Traumweltleben wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrreeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee???????????????'

[BraydonSzafranski]

@Traumweltleben Well, this is electric. It's an electric acoustic. On the album, it's played with a mic'd acoustic. Playing it live and plugged like this takes much of the beauty out of the nice Martin he's playing.

[SmileForPink]

That's what I love about them :)

Nick is flawless. Period.

[stellacat]

@AznBaller4Life Yes there is an electric live version! They played it when I saw them a few weeks ago. It was really awesome.

[KassidyGordon]

@stellacat Sweet! they never really play this song anymore i hope they do when they come to sioux falls

[stellacat]

@KassidyGordon I was super stoked beyond belief when they played the electric version live for us a few months back. I was right on the stage so I could see the setlist, and when I read it I freaked out. The guitarist laughed at me and was like 'shhhh it's a secret.' And I told this girl behind me and she freaked out too. It was an awesome treat.

[KassidyGordon]

@stellacat sweet i hope they do that here nick is so awesome and plus its there home town i would be freaking out!!!!!! luv them spill canvas forever

[killthelights27]

this is probably the most emotional song I've ever heard.

[Tookieurcookie]

ahh,

this song always makes me cry.

always<3

[mistaalig]

wow.....im tearing =/ =} its still awesome

[Shae26]

Love this song. Thanks for this.

[xSharmayne]

Thanks for putting this on youtube. :)
