INCREDIBLE cover...his voice amazes me, so clean. Ya gotta think that Peter Gabriel heard this version and said.."damn, that's the way I shoulda sung it" lol
I love this song sooooo much. This was my wedding song!!! great song to dance slowly to with a little twmpo....I highly recomend this for people looking for a good wedding song
i'm not putting this version down, but i think the intent behind the original was to be uplifting....i still see john cusack holding that boom-box over his head, professing his love.....this is a bit dark sounding for that image. also i think peter gabriel dug a lot deeper when he sang it, perhaps because he wrote it... this sounds like...staind doing a cover, but i noticed no errors or anything overtly displeasing.
Who the fuck is Jeffrey Gaines? I keep reading about him and not good things. This is Aaron Lewis for sure singing.... Its gottta be. Hes got a unique and very distinct amazing voice period. Please let me know if im wrong
Aaron is singing; Chris Ballini is playing guitar;Jon Wysocki is playing drums; Tori Sands is playing bass (J-CAT - first name initials give the band their name)
ok first off I would like to see you sing half the songs he sings and second he has 7 or 8 albums out with at least 100 songs on there all original so suck it
@aplus531....Yes... When you cover a song, it's never gonna sound like the original.But here we have an interpretation that is(to say the least) very different!..I myself love hearing covers carried out in a different way...
Hmmm...interesting,,,Several people hate it, several people love it...as for me..I'm a big Aaron Lewis fan. I love it !!! He brings out the dark side of the song.
ummm, this was before Staind was even together, this was his first band JCAT (after the initials of the members), Old School was a member. So this was like 1994 or possibly earlier. Cut him some slack, he has got an amazing voice. And I happen to think this some is absolutely beautiful because it's very raw Aaron Lewis.

I am not familiar with this band, so i cannot have an opinion about them in general, but i know a crap cover when i hear one. this is a crap cover. and the singer is not cut out for this song.
i really wasn't feelin this cover at all up until the chorus then it was alright. im a huge staind fan but i just wasn't diggin this one too much. for those of you who haven't heard it already...check out the ben harper cover. it's my favorite. other than tim reynolds. :)
What's with all the shit talking on this page? Keep you opinions to yourself. Let's enjoy fucking good music. After all, that's we navigated towards this video
i am a huge staind fan and a much bigger PG fan but i agree staind shouldn't have done this song!!!! it is a trade mark PG song and everyone has failed trying to do justice to the song and i was hoping that staind can pull it off but i must agree with a heavy heart that they didn't and mind i am a HUGE staind fan!!!
He likes your jokes, in fact, while you are here posting trash, he is laughing all the way to the bank. Talent or no talent, he has made more in one year than most of you will make in your entire lifetime.
mattandre01 you have no idea what your talkin about, i think your just a jealous one that probably doesnt have a talented bone what so ever in your body, go pose a comment where someone actually gives a shit what you have to say, thanx
i'm so sorry you feel that way. maybe i'll get all mopey about it and write an original one hit wonder song about it, followed up by a bunch more shit that nobody cares to hear, then i'll start ripping off ballads by talented artists and have a bunch of lame-ass goofball fans that think i'm soooo cool. oh wait, it's been done. LADY'S AND GENTLEMEN, SKIDMARKS, I MEAN STAIND!

I think this cover is better than the original. In fact, I think almost all of his cover songs are better than the originals.
He should just put out a cover album after they release his solo album.
