  • A cover is usually a reinvention of a song, you don't have to exactly copy it, make that song a more personal version to you

  • you hear the guy chuckle in the back lol cute

  • nice peaceful cover love it

  • really nice ...but i think ill stick to the rock

  • I gotta say.. around the 2:50 mark it sounded like you sang "kelp is on the way."

  • The singer looks alot like Ozil o.O

  • I've noticed he tends to change lyrics to make the songs more... family friendly

  • amazing

    

  • This was an achingly beautiful cover. I loved it much more than the original. Go Jake!

  • (psst) (people correcting the lyrics) (they were putting a different emotional spin on it) (deal with it)

  • Look. I love Rise Against. Amazing. When I heard Jake's version of this song I was so impressed by how he really captured the raw emotion of this song. The arrangement is lovely and it impacted me just the same as the hard rock original version of the song, It's very disappointing to see all of the hate being expressed in the comments. Jake did wonderfully and I find myself having this version on my mind more than the original. It's wonderful.

  • @tonkslupin103103 It's good to see someone that has common sense in the recent comments.

  • @FailureCamFunnies the actual guy who sings this is a Timmy

  • Comment removed

  • They didn't get some of the lyrics :/

    One by land two by sea

  • O.o

  • quit criticizing. i'd like to see you all try this. his voice is insane. the piano was spot on..so what it's a cover of a hard rock song? shut up and be open minded of different styles. this is just as good if not better than the original. show some class

  • Gay.

  • what the fuck is this shit?

  • Please tell me your name is Timmy,, you look like a Timmy...

  • @FailureCamFunnies His name is Jake x)

  • The effort is very good, and your voice is very pleasant, but for that reason you should have picked a different song. Perhaps "Wait For Me" or "Swing Life Away"? "Help Is On The Way" is meant to sound angry and passionate.

  • I believe they should do it again and fux up a few of the rough spots and it would be amazing. but it is still a good song ( origanal preferd ).

  • it's ok the way you did it its pretty good for an acuostic version

  • You make this cool song FUCKING GAY!!!!!!!!!!!

  • FANTASTIC SONG

    

  • I'm from the crescent city

  • You should've done the full song. This is really good.

  • you're a quite good singer/guitarist and the stuff you do sounds pretty professional... but... please just stay away from rise against songs, okay?

  • @Skykissen You kidding me? This is an amazing take on this song. Don't hate it. I can't fathom how you cannot like this.

  • @Skykissen i thought they did fricken amazing. its good to hear it litttle slowed down and a little more serene

  • @gabrieltoashes i dont no meaby to what ????

  • awesome voice bro !

  • fag!

  • @gabrieltoashes fuck off

  • @gabrieltoashes jealousy yields nothing for u xept hollow attention

  • I just got chills....beautiful

  • @Bludhoundz8 ; no. They actually did kill it. Help is on the way is an AMAZING song, but it isn't meant to be this slow and drawn out... I am open to the music; if I wasn't, my comment would be like 'this sucks, you suck.' like others have written... I actually like their voice and style, I just don't think it is suited for this particular song. I think you have to be more open to constructive feedback rather than attacking it.

  • Allright viewing other comments im seeing way to much praise for my taste so you know what im going to do about it? Nothing.

  • Not to be a troll but this is kinda disgusting... Its allright but i much much prefer the original but il donate my thumb simply because you do have more skill then a lot of these other guys so hey good werk i guess...

  • your voice is pure gold

  • This is an amazing cover, just a few wrong lyrics, but the singing more than makes up for that.

  • @Gimlion234 And to further this, after reading more comments (wow some of these Punk-Rocker's can get so butt-hurt over something a little softer), I realize you didn't have official lyrics to work with. That in mind, I think you did an absolutely wonderful job, and I may even like this version more.

  • You have a great voice and all but you just killed an awesome song.. I didn't like how you changed it at all! Stick to songs that are naturally slow cause you have a great voice and all.. Try Swing Life Away by Rise Against or Roadside

  • @SecretlyDawn They didn't "kill" it at all. Its actually really good. You just don't think so because you heard the original before you heard this. Be more open to music instead of trying to shut it out.

  • @SecretlyDawn That comment from before shows your not open to music. This is a great version of the song. Really brings out the raw intensity and emotion. Saying that he killed it was a bit harsh too, and telling him to stick to already slower songs isn't constructive at all.

  • Nice :)

  • Nice

  • Wow!!

  • Why the hell does this have more views than the original?!?

  • @amiin92 This has 600,000. The original has 3 million....

  • :O

    

  • harmonies are amazing

  • What the fuck?!?!?!?!

  • Its by zach blair now todd mohney left a while ago

  • @BoundedBasher other than that though not a bad cover rise against is my favorite band all time :)

  • Seriously why can I only like this once );

  • Pianist is Lex Luther.... Just saying :D Awesome cover!

  • sheet music?

  • nooooooooooo gayyyyyyyyyyyyy ahahahahahhah lol

  • I loved it but, well i hate to say it, but you got a few lyrics wrong

    Not "Hold My Hand, To Help See"

    it's "One By Land, Two By Sea"

    Also not "We keep action int the attics"

    it's "we keep axes in the attics"

    I'm sorry about correcting you but other than that this was an amazing cover.

  • @xKillZz it because at the time of this cover. only the itunes version was out. there were no official lyrics.

  • @xKillZz It's called a cover. your own version.

  • I was looking for the REAL song. Please relabel this shit ASAP

  • do hero of war :)

  • PLEASEEEE make more like this

  • this cover gives the song an new style ;) i like it ^^

  • I was skeptical at first, but when the chorus came i was sold...nice cover

  • you have to cover more stuff like this

  • I'm not even joking. I have to have my daily fix of this song everyday. It's more addictive than Rise Against themselves..!

  • damn, this is a great cover, I like them both...

  • that was such a great rendition. your voice compliments the pain in the song perfectly. If anyone says The original is better or worse, well they're ignorant, and unappreciative of what music really is. Music is about creation. Not repetition.

  • cool little twist on the song but i like the original better RA

  • i bet chicks hop straight on the dick if you sing this to them no doubt about it

  • Sorry, but i like the original one more!

  • Shift 2!

  • Wow, I enjoy the rock version and usally, different versions suck, but this was very very good

  • fuck this, why this is this the first video we get searching for rise against........

  • awesome voice

  • Verdammte Axt!!!

    Das ist nicht Rise Against!!!!

    Schreibt doch verdammt nochmal hin das es ein Cover ist!!!

    p.s.Das Cover.... Oh man nicht mein Fall ....

  • NEJ

  • @ MiNiTOXICZ: i like you, and your comments;D

  • Brilliant guys good job

  • Why does youtube just show my clicks?

  • It's COMPLETELY different to the original.

    I am great Rise Against fan and think that the "harder" faster version fist better to that topic, but I deeply respect Your work guys.

    Great voices, nice interpretion of this song and also awesome pianist.

    Keep going

  • beautifull voice, wrong song to sing

  • Dude, you ruined this song.... You just killed it -.-

  • @MiNiTOXICZ agree 110% dude

  • -.- nich dein ernst oder? -.-

  • Nice new take on the song. U has beautiful voice man. Simply amazing here.

  • I don't know if anyone has mentioned it before, but i'm pretty sure Todd Mohney has nothing to do with this song.

  • don't listen to the haters that was simply brilliant!

  • wow this is amazing. really like the original, but this is such a different take on the song.... so so different and awesome :3

  • mhm alsoo bin n bissle enttäuscht on rise against ... : ( die ham auch gute schnulzige (traurige) lieder wie "hero of war" aber des find ich jetzt nicht gut sorry

    aba rise against bleibt trotzdem einer meiner rock/ metal favouriten !!!!! ; )

  • @NewKidsJunge96

    kleiner lern erstmal englisch.

    und dann versuch ein konstruktives kommentar zu schreiben.

  • what is that shit you better let this

    This only can rise against play so i say the same like jordanmakesvids:

    u "gays" fucked up a great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i hope youre gonna see this

  • u guys fucked up a great song

  • Im a huge fan of rise against I went to there concert on may 8th in champaign and it was the best and 2nd I like this video good work

  • gay against .. sry

  • Just checking in for my daily view :]

  • wow just wow

  • First off all: guys, you`ve got my restpect. You can make REALLY good music!

    BUT: Pls, cover songs which sounds like you covered this. The song from raise against sounds MUCH other than this, and i have to admit: i think it sounds better.... The first time i listened to this i thought " What idiots do not know the name of the song they cover".... Well, you can sing, you can play piano... Cover songs that belong to you, it sounds much better...

    sry for the animadversion, but its the truth :s

  • Very well sung, but the lyrics are wrong in some places

  • NOICE!!

  • I can't stop listening. 

  • I love rise agaist and I love this song 4 ever <3

  • This is truly amazing. Pure talent. I can't really say much more I am that amazed. You should try covering more of they're songs.

  • you should cover more rise songs

  • @LynnWellin +1

  • How this even can have dislikes? This is beautiful. Great job guys!

  • You can't cover a manly song like a pussy.

  • @LynnWellin Well, no. But you can do a piano cover of it.

  • I loved the original song but this is just incredible, it actually gave me goosebumps :P keep going guys! <3

  • Godlike Voice, Godlike Pianoplayer= Godlike Cover!

  • I can't believe there are people who don't like this.

  • i really thing the way he sang this caught the song well. as does rise againsts. anger, hurt, passion, so much depth in both versions.

  • i listen to this song while taking a large dump

  • you are awesome ! but you should sing a song called "Just Close Your Eyes" it was sung by waterproof blonde! It suite you! =)

  • that was amazing u guys did a good job!!!

  • this cover is incredble... i have to hear it every so often.. love the arrangement.

  • great singers but jesus this is an angry song i CRY !!! even , not a gay song ?

  • You butchered the song. I don't mean in terms of voice. You guys sounded amazing, but you got SOOOOO many of the lyrics wrong.

  • @MindfreakCM in all fairness to them, this was on the internet before the release of the actual album (and thus the lyrics booklet) so lyrics were still somewhat uncertain. i wouldn't have said they got "soooo many" wrong really. it was a pretty damn good attempt considering there wasn't a 100% level of certainty at the time of recording.

  • @MindfreakCM Maybe the official lyrics weren't realeased when these guys made this video. So no need to complain about that some of the lyrics are wrong.

  • Dear Jake, you are awesome :)

  • I wish I could sing as well as these guys..

  • @rabdomiolisis except this songs isn't targeted to make little girls "downstairs" tingly.

  • Comment removed

  • @juegomania Hey....Watch the use of the word gay..... And you should fuck off this is amazing. So it's obviously not the original version but it's still awesome.... If you can't appreciate different types of music they you obviously haven't matured to much.... And if you don't like it you don't have to trash it either.

  • @BurntToast5561 I'm using freedom of speech and saying what i'm thinking. Just by saying that this song, in my opinion, is little gayish, doesn't mean I don't like it.

    And I would like to know how only one song represents the whole scale of music? Funny how much you seem to know about someone you don't know.

  • @juegomania If you didn't like the song say so, nicely... You don't have to trash it.

  • @TMRoberts32 not to be a complete moron but in case you didn't realize this was made before Rise Against's version was released so realistically speaking there were to lyrics to go off of, idiot lol.

  • You know what would be awesome? If you knew the damn words to the song you were singing. Read the liner notes, and fix it, that's shameful.

  • wow this was beautiful and original. jake, you have a voice of an angel :D

  • That was amazing..

  • JUSTIN BIEBEEEEEEEEEEER AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

  • don't transform a rise against song in a justin bieber's one!!!!

  • @rabdomiolisis1 Ok.. except for the fact this sounds nothing like Justin Bieber.... Fuck off.

  • holy shit what the fuck happened? i clicked an awesome link name and then shit fell outta the speakers!

  • I don't mean to hate....and I love both soft and hard music.....but hard songs should not be redone as a soft one....and vice versa. It just butchers the song. Great voices thou. No hating intended.

  • he makes it sound so inspirational

    it;s fucking awesome

  • Great job guys

  • Wow...absolutley amazing :)

  • the best part was were the harmonies that made your version what it was, brilliant work.

  • I really like your voice, but this wasn't a very good song choice...try a song that's already soft and sweet like your voice is :)

  • i can't think of anything to post other then u took a every good song and made it suck. i sorry but some songs should not have a piano cover ,but that is my opinion and for the critique get some singing lessons!

  • u make me love this song more and more!!!!

  • Nice work make your own songs tho

  • thats amazing

  • fucking damn! this guy can sing! *-*

    wunderful

    and this 403 people haven`t seen any skill

  • this cover makes me cry

  • oh my god you guys know how to sing and the whole cover is just mind blowingly amazing

  • Good Cover, though in the description, it says Todd Mohney, but its Zac Blair now :)

  • good, but some of the lyrics were wrong

  • fuck you esto es una miarda aguante rise against esto no es rock bitchs

    

  • wher can i download this good stuff for free ? i need it!

  • I like the original and this. The original sounds like anger, and rage. This sounds like sadness and despair. Both have the same meaning, but different emotions behind the meaning of this song<3

  • @HaiAshleigh The original sounds like anger and rage?

    You are way off..

  • @kingstomman Yes. it does, more like, Anger and dispair, a mixture of that.

  • @techskater107 Hell no dude.. the song is about giving hope to the people that was in the japanese disaster latley and you think they can pull that off with a song that feels like anger and dispair.. no dude.. first of all it wouldn't match the lyrics..second of all it doesn't sound ANYTHING like that its not heavy.. its sharing a light.. its giving hope its a get back up song when you fall down and that doesn't have anger or dispair

  • sorry guys.... original is way better... nice singing but that sad style just doesnt fit in my opinion.

  • @HaiAshleigh There are two emotions and one meaning. This, I believe is being sung from those who experienced a tragedy or are in it. Rise Against sings with not, just anger but a fiery spirit that breathes poetry. The sadness that Rise Against has is being turned into fuel for that fiery spirit while this song is being sung by these two from the initial feeling without the "rage" and "anger".

  • Crap :D

    Nothing over RISE AGAINST!!!!

    :D:D

  • So good, oh man

  • the original people to make this song are alot better then this pussy ass shit

  • Holy.. shit.

  • WOW Bro this is really good!!!

  • Terrible. ORIGINAL ROCKS

  • super mega gay
