  • Incredible

  • Id love if you guys would check out my cover :) leave a comment!

  • @LesPaulRockerProduct or i could listen to the actual band sing....... just saying

  • @mikestriker1991 You dont have to watch it, Id just appreciated if people did

  • @LesPaulRockerProduct i actually did watch it, i gave you a review. and wasnt even being a smart ass

  • Oh i get it you would rather listen to some no talent autotuned rapper with an IQ of12. That makes a lot of sense. \/

  • barf. nothing like a whiny singer and a no-talent tattooed poser with sunglasses

  • i love you natalie!!! <3

  • watch percival duke's cover of this song! :)

  • Sorry, but taylor's version is no where as beautiful as him singing it.

  • taylor swift would take Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and turn it into some teenage-girl-slighted-by-a-boy song....it's all she's got....and it's all her audience identifies with.

  • anyone know these tabs they play in this version.. can find them anywhere..He's not playin the original C,G,F

  • @SantoParisi13 he is... that just a really weird f chord- 133010, you can get just as good a sound by muting the top string and hammering with your middle finger

  • Ojala la vida y el amor fueran perfectas como la música.

  • Me encantaría, que la vida, el amor, la gente fueran tan perfectas como la música...

  • If I could sing have as well as Train does, I would be a singing God!

  • This song is beautiful. Especially the acoustic version.

    Plus, the fact that he can sing amazing live gives me so much more respect for him.

  • Can Someone tell me what Model Taylor is used in this video please? Thanks in advance...

  • i agree with you @DominikTHFan12!!!!

  • jeesh, people need to just listen to the beautiful song and not use it as an excuse to make snide remarks and comments!

  • Hahahahaha 3:42 when the guitarists starts nanaing....completely unexpected haha great session

  • Cool song, check out our channel if you like acoustic music!

  • this is the most beautiful song I ever heard. the lyrics are brilliant ♥

  • this song is beautiful and pat is amazing!!

  • @TheCellbinder

    Keep it in church!

  • great song....they named wine after it

  • I like Train! 

  • They are so funny haha :D

  • No point saying anything else other than this song is a rare true original great choon

  • sorry 'TheCellbinder' but i got to disagree with u....she may have loved the song but she had no right to DEFACE it. I can appreciate that she tried to show her passion for this song, but she has represented it to be something its not..a romantic story

  • ohhhh ! <3

    i love that song sooo much! <3 :)

  • Trains face really ruins this song for me

  • I think this song will stand the test of time.

  • isit just me or does he look a small bit like robbie williams?

  • That's not A song, thats THE song....

  • My slow internet conection murderd a good song once again!

  • this is incredible.

  • ...because; I have danced along the "Light of Day"...made it to the "Milkyway"...may not be back in the "Atmosphere"

  • guitarist = fat satch

  • he´s sexy:P

  • Percival Duke !!! <3

  • I´m here because of Percival :) !

  • Wowow......

    That is Beautiful....... Bitter-Sweet.....

    I was her best friend, always sticking up for her..... even though I knew she was wrong.....

  • Fuck your coverkids up there :D THIS is the shit!!!!!!!

  • /watch?v=q0IZgG8Dc6k&feature=r­elated watch this! The best singer in the fucking world. Future winner of the german version of 'The Voice'!

  • Percival version is better ;)

  • Shut up with your original. Without the original there would'nt be a cover at all.

    So don't compare this awesome song with any ohter version.

  • @nuyfmxlq well said

  • Awesome!!!!

  • no one can sing this song like this guy,just fits him so well. freaking awesome.

  • @ImppLasma No.

  • Not As Good Live :D

  • What key is this in?

  • umm im sorry to all ppl who like him but.. he sounds kinda horrible... im sorry can i b ur friend?

  • We Love Train (Vote It)

  • is it just me, or does he shake his head around alot?

  • @LoseMyselfinDaydream Probably absorbed/lost in the singing/song :P

  • Taylor Swifts cover was brilliant, but can't beat the original guys!

  • @dynamytsean /watch?v=ucEWFzMwIBk watch this and you know, who is the best singer of this song. o.o his version is better then the original..

  • @dynamytsean Totally right! T-Swift is good, but TRAIN ROCKS!!!!!!

  • @dynamytsean maybe taylor swifts miight wnat to try and write there own stuff!!!!!!

  • @DominikTHFan12 You're a fucking idiot. Taylor may have sang it well, but she butchered its meaning. Drops of Jupiter is a lyrically and musically perfect song and when Swift changed all "she"s for "he"s she ruined that. Take into account it was written by Pat for his dead mother. Taylor played it as if it was a romantic song and that's stupid.

  • @Ketsumaye Why is it stupid? That's her personal spin to the song, her take on the lyrics.

  • @Ketsumaye Thank you thank you thank you. That was perfect.

  • @Ketsumaye ur right, but still you cant say that what she did was stupid... it was after all like a tribute to the original song... she loves the song like you and I, so lets just not judge... Do not do unto others what you don’t want done to you.

  • @Ketsumaye You lost this argument when you started cursing and being personal, if you know any musicians at all that write music, you will know they don't care how people interpretate their music because it stops being theirs the day they play it in front of people. Why pat wrote it is really irrelevant!

  • @ragetobe That is true, but only to an extent. That's like saying you interpret Chasing Cars as people who want to chase cars . . . There's different interpretations, but there's a difference between shallow and deep interpretations. Where real relativity comes in that musicians/artists don't mind at all is when your own interpretation is something deep, personal and penetrates the philosophy of the art.

  • @Ketsumaye well obviously she's going to change the shes to hes...she's a girl singing it. it's not like she changed all the words around my god. get over it

  • @Ketsumaye and how many people realize it's not a love song but a song of remembrance? Most people listen to it thinking it's a love song and that's what Taylor made it.

    Mind you I like Train's version more, but it would only be natural if people liked Taylor's more.

  • @Ketsumaye No, you're the idiot. Taylor did an amazing cover, and interpreted in the only appropriate way possible for her. It would have been disrespectful and awkward for her to have sung it about HIS mother. She put as much effort into as possible for her because she is a great preformer, just like Train. Regardless of your preferences towards either, it is ignorant to deny someone's musical talent which is so evident in both artists in completely different ways.

  • @Rheilford I said Taylor sang it well. I admire her talent and I listen to her songs. The cover was well performed, and it's one of the best covers I've seen, but the meaning of the song was butchered. I would understand the change if her father had passed away, but otherwise it was completely unnecessary and dumb.

  • @DominikTHFan12 sorry im taylor swifts biggest fan and her version sucks big cock compared to this

  • @DominikTHFan12 Accept for the fact that this is the fracking original!!! And this is awesome!!!

  • I think he´s so sexy!!!

  • i love this song . ♥

  • hey is the guitarist Howie Mandel

  • Cool song, but I ain't gonna be listening to it when it's Christmas. This song makes me sad :\

  • friggin awesome singer!!!

  • ten years ago..driving at night thru the mountains of Pennsylvania and Maryland..on my way back to DC from a weekend in Pittsburgh..MIX 99...this was big..lots of good music then..remember Stain'd, Three Doors Down, Dave Matthews and Jewel??? Good times

  • 2:17 pennis blow your mind. :D

  • didn't know howie mandel played guitar and ukulele...

  • I heard Boyce Avenue covered this.. That's right , i said it..didn't expect to see this type of comment on the original, did you?

  • Comment removed

  • God that was nothing like the original.

  • to much cocaine

  • watch this : h tt p:// vimeo (.) com / 32791015

  • /watch?v=8oAlYsqLpWE

    Good German man, singing this song ;)

  • this is pretty good. i love this song. <3

  • Pat may well be getting old but this song certainly isnt! one of my all time favorite songs..

  • I wish I could write something as beautiful as this song to my love

    ps. though he wrote this to his mother

  • Love this one of train.... really have to understand the meaning of this song.

  • Comment removed

  • great song *=*

  • This guy hasnt aged.

  • @Drann0n

    His face is gettin saggy though... o.O

  • Pecival is better but thats too great xDD

  • amazin song no1 will ever sing this better

  • I hate the billboard acoustic studio. It can make even the best artists sounds not so good. Train sounds lovely as always but the room distorts his voice and the echo doesn't help any.

  • This is a great song.

  • 131 people like bad music.

  • Pure poetry

  • Any train sounds better then justin Biep Biep Bieper....

    

  • Why are people comparing Train to Justin Bieber? They're completely different.

    I don't even like Justin, but i'm sticking up for him right now. You can't compare them, they're completely different artists with completely different music styles.

    On a lighter note, obsessed with this song. :)

  • @swiftfan4life It's attention seeking wankers who get thrills from "thumbs up." They seemingly have no life, or no friends and get kicks from small meaningless things!

    I agree with your lighter note :-)

  • @SimonMilesVoice Is that directed towards me or?

  • Comment removed

  • Percival did it like 10 times better...

  • life is overrated

  • even*

  • Train is better than bieber?

    In 3 years bieber is done,train is on the road since 1994,bieber wasnt ever born!!

    Go on patrick!!

  • *WUUUUUSSCHHHHH*

  • Trains are good to travel

  • you rock

    i think im jelous but i have my own voice

  • No reason to cover this song..it`s just perfect!

  • lol @ the germans that think that their version is better than this.

  • you guys, thanks for writing this beautiful song

    percival did a great rendition of it

    love y'all

  • Percival ♥ Worldstar in few month !!

    watch?v=jCo6ra4xGHo

  • The Cover by Percival is better than the original.

  • @ImppLasma ya cool story bro but percival didnt write this master piece so show some respect

  • @ImppLasma could be the worst comment i have ever heard?

  • @ImppLasma YOU'RE SO RIGHT!

  • @ImppLasma i have to disagree, its too dirty for my liking, train's much cleaner, sounds neat

  • listen to this german cover of this song a few days ago!!!

  • Well, I do really like the 'original' video and song style (always liked piano rock...) but this is a very cool version and definitely worth having...

  • na na naaa na na na na naaaa na ... i prefer the orig, but hey - kudos to guys boys - i can`t sing in that key - and im having trouble changing key and making it sound right...... love the wee sliding chord trick.....

  • 25 most annoying songs ever

    Train - 'Drops Of Jupiter'. Why? The type of song that plays in that Disney television movie (starring Selena Gomez) featuring the voice-over: "That was the summer when everything changed."

  • sorry that u relate such a great song to that!!! train is so much better than this!!!!!!

  • I think he looks a bit on Robbie Williams.

  • 128 got lost..

  • Its so FUCKING "Awesome"

  • how did they go from this to hey soul sister ?????????????? this is beautiful

  • Is it me or could he be Jerry Trainors twin? (if you don't know who Jerry Trainor is he is the guy that plays Carlys older bro on iCarly and he was that one worker at the Premier Theatre that had anger problems on Drake and Josh)

  • This song was 10 years ago no.15 in the world charts #train

  • is that howie mandel playin guitar?

  • @briantreacy309 haha no...at first i thought the same thing, i did some research and the guitarist name is Jimmy Stafford
