  • such a good guitarist... and vocal :x ! congratulations!!!

  • 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!

  • loved it,,nice job!

  • 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!!!

  • Wonderful rendition!

  • he came to my school today ! :D

  • Wow!

  • If I had watched this two years ago, it would've been a great birthday present!

  • Awesome! Cant stop listening to this cover and Subdivisions. No doubt Jacob has got a lot of talent.

  • 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

  • Any chance of a tab or chords being posted? :)

  • 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.

  • Amazing version of this great Peter Gabriel song.

  • ahh he played at my high school that's pretty awsome

  • Would you consider playing at a returning Marines wedding? (paid of course)

  • ANOTHER great one....and the rush subdivisions... good luck and much success!!!

  • who are the fucking 2 people who dislike it ??

  • Rip the audio from this clip at searchripgrab doht cohm.

  • 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.

  • Good work !! good guitar ;)) rock version" come talk to me " it's original ;))

  • Hey guy!!! Impressionante seu trabalho...Congratulations!!!! Não falo nada em inglês, mas, entendo. Abraços!!!!

  • outstanding work buddy. congrats from brazil!!

  • very cool. Great guitar work, and great version of a great song

  • 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!!

  • A Godin guitar in the hands of this Canadian is what it was built for! Thanks for showing us how to handle a Godin!

  • Moon rocks on Earth!!

  • You've definitely got fans here in Newfoundland! Another job well done, Jacob!

    The result of talent combined with technology. Great work man!

  • This is great! Love it :-)

  • cool voice you have got!!!!

  • Absolutely fantastic, Jacob!! You've earned another fan...

  • nice shoes

  • No doubt that the original version is best - but this is awesome!

    Like that!! Go ahead! :-)

  • 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!

  • brilliant use of tech Jacob ... really enjoy your work

  • Lovely!

  • your awesome

    

  • Nice! We nudged it over 15K overnight...thanks to all who've checked it out.

  • @jacobmoon ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!! HAHA

    great vid man love the great beyond, man thats up there with the best :D

    keep it up :P

  • @jacobmoon

    eine wunderschöne version des songs von peter gabriel,bekomme gansehaut bei der musik und der stimme.

    best voice and guitar

  • @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!!

  • superb jacob. love the michael brook delay / tapping thing.

  • You have a rare gift there. Come on over to the UK, Mr Moon. A solo tour or a spot at the Cambridge Folk Festival would suit you very well!

  • @daveulke Yes Please, a UK show would be awesome.

  • Mr. Moon is a true artist. Any chance of a NY/NJ show?

  • Thank you for this video.Very very amazing stuff you did for the song. Very enjoyable and beautifully played.

  • Your stuff is really quite amazing man, I really enjoy your covers and original works, thx for being awesome =D

  • 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!!!!!!

    Drink lots of tea & go see Rush this Summer!!!

  • well you got a fan in the Sacramento area. peace brother. love your spirit.

  • 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?).

  • eres un flipe!

    saludos!

  • 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. . .

    Thanks.

  • 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 ?

  • She could hear it, for sure...Marky Ramone was rocking out in Gage Park right behind me, so there was enough neighbourhood noize to wake the dead!

  • AWESOME! You need to come to Philadelphia!

  • 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 :))

  • Great job with that song too!

  • Pretty good job, but I don't like the rhythm of the guitar, it sounds too much like a campfire singalong.

    Just don't try to do Biko...then I will be real upset.

  • man you are like my idol now,

    exactly how i want to turn out (im 14)

  • Heard you on CBC this morning, had to check these out. Awesome work buddy.

  • I don't have the words to describe this. Pure brilliance!

  • mad skillz

  • Another great cover, Jacob.  Take it on the road! Waiting for you in Chicago ...

  • really impressed. didn't know about this guy until I heard about the cover he does of Rush's subdivisions. He's great.

  • 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.

  • WOW! I love this, grea song :) so talented, and sexy :P

  • Brother, you inspire me...

  • excellent... outstanding! bravo!

  • Great performance!

  • Wow, great performance. This is the best a solo version can get in my opinion.

  • 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!

  • This is like The Edge and Michael Brook covering good ol' Petey! Mr. Moon's voice is perfect for PG's melodies.

  • u truely inspired me :)

  • Your awesome Jacob! awesome voice, awesome guitar playing!! And you look a bit like Joe Don Rooney! :P New Fan!

  • AWSOME!

  • Excellent job man. Nice voice (reminds me Peter Gabriel ahaha) and perfect chords.

  • Jacob, can you do Beautiful Day by U2?

  • Jacob Moon appears Friday Nov. 20th, 8pm at Knox United Church in Owen Sound. Looking forward to it.

  • This is so beautiful.... So many emotions flowing through so many levels of consciousness.

    I love the location, too... and that guitar sounds so good!

    Thank you

  • Incredible!

    - new fan :)

  • Excellent job, thanks for sending it my way. Anyone that covers a Gabriel song, and does it well, is OK in my books!!

  • Man this is probably first Youtube video that I've actually watched in entirety. Great stuff. Looking forward to the new CD

  • just outstanding jacob...can't wait til your new cd arrives...

  • WOW!

  • Terrific video, song and playing. Great work!

  • In a word - brilliant!

  • 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.

    Thank you!

  • You just keep amazing me. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world. Music makes a difference!!!! You make a difference.

  • BAM!!!

  • Great job again Jacob with the Roof Top Video!!

    Please come back to Owen Sound REAL SOON!!

  • Sensational! You're really great!

  • Amazing as always.

  • Brilliant Jacob, love the view!

  • Amazing!! Please come to NY!!

  • Very cool! Do you ever do any shows in the Cleveland, Ohio area?

  • Not yet...Maybe someday! Need fans there first...sounds like I can count on you, tho! thanks for watching...

  • i guess he likes to play on roof tops.that's cool.

  • 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!!

  • You've done it again. Such a great song and you still managed to make it your own. GREAT JOB!! That does it, I'm subscribing.

  • Great shoes!!

  • Wow, that looked hard.

  • Absolute class!! Love it Jacob. A one man orchestra.

  • Thanks Jacob. Simply stunning. Enjoyed as much or more than Subdivisions!

  • "Wow!" I got shivers!!

  • 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...

  • Beautiful....you really know about dynamic in music. Great voice and playing.

    what's that wooden piece you tap with your food ?,

    cheers

    -lennart

  • 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!

  • Thanx....I'll check it out

    cheers

    -lennart

  • Playing this tune with you was hella fun. Amazing stuff as always man.
