wow!amazing job!i'm so inspired and encouraged to learn to play the guitar after watching your videos..I'm looking forward to seeing myself playing the guitar and singing at the same time..You are a channel of blessing indeed..I pray that you will perform here in the Philippines someday..God bless you!
Jacob...you are amazing!!!!!! I have shared this with so many people...you are THE best...amazing job...do more covers!!! But your original work is also amazing...but to be honest, you made me like a Peter Gabriel song, now that is insane!!! I close my eyes and relax (listening to you)after a hard day, thnak you for the relaxation you bring to me!!! Keep it up! I learned about you only 1 week ago...and you are my new drug!!!
I was at his recent concert working security, missed some of the show, but I gotta say... WOW this guy is incredible and totally approachable. Loved it. Keep on rockin
Jacob, I keep listening to this version off and on because I just can't get enough of it. I dare say it rivals the original in its sincerity and feeling, and the guitar work... well, it's just phenomenal! The only thing better than this was hearing you play it live when I saw you last year!! Keep up the great work my friend.
Jacob, I've been a fan of Peter from his earliest Genesis stuff. I'm a guitar player and song writer. I thought I'd never have the chops for his work, but after hearing this and sub-divisions, I gave it a try, I'm not any where close to your proficiency but I , at least could play along with my 12 string. Thanks for giving me some real inspiration and courage to try ! You now have at least one more fan, ME !
I rarely like covers, especially of Peter's work. His songs are mostly too sublime for covers which usually end up just detracting from the song & sounding like a pale copy. However, you really pulled this off. There is enough originality to make it worth listening to for someone who loves & listens to the original over & over, but not so much to lose the essence of the original that makes great. Thanks for honouring a great song & artist! I look forward to listening to more of your work.
I Love this song, and I love your arrangement for it. I've had to watch it about 10 times since I saw it. A friend told me about you. Gonna have to give this song a try. May post a video response.
Found the Subdivisions video at first and thought it was a brilliant cover, but this one was better. I'd never heard the Peter Gabriel version before this and it is an incredible rendition. It keeps enough if the original melody but it's like a brand new song! Gotta get you some airplay and some concert dates here in the States!!
HEY COOL !!! You should contact Austin Sight and Sound .. Cindy Olsen been keepin several bands booked around the mid and southwest . Keepin me workin . I don't know what all venues are available but what your doing is way cool and needs to be out there . Sorry I dont have that number on me at the moment
Jacob Moon you were my first live Christian band I ever saw when I re-dedicated my life to he Lord, your music truly has helped me grow as a new follower, and taught me how to cry out to Jesus. I'm taking my dad to your concert in Ottawa Oct 17th, his soul needs revival, please pray for him. Thank you, God bless you and your family :)
I didn't think I'd hear a better arrangement of a cover song than I heard with "Subdivsions". But you totally blew me away with this piece. I sincerely hope that Peter Gabriel hears this. If there was ever a more perfect rendition of this song I'd love to hear it because I think this is absolutely the best. God bless you Jacob, you have a singular talent that is unmatched by very, very few!
@jacobmoon Man, you sound great!! You play like Michael hedges (RIP). tapping sounds better than I thought on this song. Congrats from France and keep it alive!!
I love the sound you get from your set up. Acoustic/Electric. Great arrangement!! Also dig your Subdivisions performance on the roof! I was kinda scared you might fall off the roof though, it looked like you were kinda close to the edge. I know both the Beatles & U2 did performances on rooftops. What a cool idea. Seems like it would be very exhilarating. Take care of yourself & that voice!!!!!!
Jacob - This is absolutely awesome. I love your interpretation of this awesome song almost better than the original. Keep the originality and creativeness going. You are a talented musician and hope to see you live some day (plans to tour Chicago soon?).
Great interpretation. And the Sub Divisions cover is fantastic too. Only ever heard of you through the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame thing, will be checking out some of your original stuff for sure. Come to the UK!
This is great jacobmoon! A long time Gabriel fan here. . .not an easy artist to cover and succeed. . .well done! Love your interpretation of this song. . .
suh weeeeeeet ! ..... hey is it loud enough on that roof, does the women in red ( @ :41 seconds) on the balcony get to hear this ? and does she applaud ?
Very impressed with everything Jacob. Your singing, playing, guitar sounds and the song writing is incredible. I enjoy your videos and music very much and seeing as I am also a musician, I appreciate how difficult it is to write, arrange, play, sing and perform but you put it all together extraordinarily. By the way just LOVE your Subdivisions version.....also a huge RUSH fan :))
I've seen him do this live and the tones he gets in the fret hammering are hypnotic. As great as this video is, it doesn't capture it like hearing it being played in the same room.
Find this guy playing live and treat yourself to the most memorable concert experience.
Jacob this is brilliant work. Thanks for sharing it with us common folk.
A very talented singer/song writer! He used to be my youth leader @ St. Cuthburts Presbitiarian church! XD It was always a treat to hear his music in church!
Nice one, Jacob. My favourite song from your live set, with great visuals!
This vid particularly resonates with me, because we lived a couple of blocks from Gage Park when I was a kid, and my first real concert appearance was at Festival of Friends.
You had me with Subdivisions..... But you NAILED IT ON THIS ONE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I look forward to seeing your career develop..... I was with you from the start!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU YOU TUBE!!!!!! ROCK ON!!
Hi Jacob - stunning guitar playing. I'm an entire ignoramus on the subject but it sounds than great to my iggerant ears. Keep on pluggin' man! And do I hear faint traces of skipping reels of Ian Mcgeechee aka John Martyn? (Who, sadly, died this year.) Anyway, God Bless mate...
That is a "porchboard". It makes the sound of a bass "stomp". It's pretty cool actually, and it's actually tuned and in a certian key. Search the videos on here and you'll see how cool it really is....I want one!
such a good guitarist... and vocal :x ! congratulations!!!
