  • OMG. just. OMG

  • thrice is just basically a bad ass band

  • once you listen to it 10 or so times, you realize how amazing it is

  • apparently 32 people hate good music

  • awesome cover!!! it fits his voice perfectly; im not that into the original, but i could never ever resist mr. kensrue!!!

  • I love this cover.. And his falsetto. Beautiful :)

  • I love his voice, great cover with no effects!

  • yo if anyone can tab this out for me that would be awesome... i went to ultimate guitar for it but it don't sound right... at least if i wanna cover it at all like this. let me know that'd be awesome.

  • Fantastic . Women will befall and suckle at your penis for the musical wonders you bring.

  • marry me dustin kensrue.

  • this just might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

  • Then you should hear the original too :)

  • DK!

  • Corey2564 you are a noob ... burn

  • I'm sorry, obviously you can't understand that other people have different taste than you, or you just don't have any taste at all.

  • Very well done Dustin! I love the depth thats always displayed in all of his songs wheather he be solo or doing thrice songs.

  • DK is my hero

  • I like how he livens up the end (quiet) part

  • nice. i like this alot. love imogen heaps version. I have always thought that it could be a mad acoustic song

  • I think the purpose of a cover is to take a song and make it your own without butchering...which is exactly what this guy did. Really good job.

  • audio sex? most def.

  • lol

  • Beautiful.

  • considering how much he had to revamp the song - and the key in which he was singing - i think dusty did a swell job. :) maybe not his beeeest live cover in the world, but definitely a goodie. :) the end was especially wonderful.

  • good cover! he made it sound like his own song

  • Man, this is just too good. Maybe Thrice and Imogen should team up sometime ;)

  • awesome video!

  • nice =)

  • the first 20 seconds i was like meh but then it just gets amazing.

  • That was the best cover ive heard so far. x

  • Dustin Kensrue > the World

  • Hmm...tak samo piękne jak wersja Imogen.

    Śliczny głos i wykonanie **

  • I agree.

  • Oh my god I love this. acoustic raw rock version of Hide and Seek. Awesome job!

  • his falsetto was great!

  • 3:03 <3

  • 3.03

  • Wow.. I didnt think anyone could make this song as good as imogen heap.. ..

  • you were correct

  • signed

  • hahaha

  • This is really nice. (:

  • I can see Thrice, as a band, putting the cover of this song on The Alchemy Index. Doesn't fit an element, but would definately fit the sound.

  • hey i didnt know he had a sailor tattoo.

  • wow, this was absolutely amazing. This is, hands down, the best voer of this song i have ever heard a male voice sing. Great job!!!! This is on of my fav songs

  • so much better than i expected, completely speechless

  • youre a fucking oblivious idiot if you do think he's sincere or a great artist. Dustins one of the truest artists out there today, along with thrice. you dont think so? fuck off and go listen to your gay boombox shit

  • um..... Hide and Seek isn't exactly easy to sing, and he did pretty well for trying to a live audience. Judging by the fact that he fronts a band such as Thrice, I don't think he's hopeless.

  • @jamalteikore Pretty well? He did amazing. He made it his own. Which is much more respectable and admirable than simply covering it.

  • perfect.

  • I love imogen heap to bits, but I wish people would stop covering hide and seek, she has got over songs. Should point out that I love dustin and thrice too, they rule

  • Assuming that you meant "she has got other songs," that's funny. They're not covering her, they're covering the song. For that reason, it doesn't particularly matter what else she has.

  • what?

  • he cant reall put it much simpler than that lol. people cover songs, not artists. so the fact that she has other songs doesnt matter.

  • Awesome.

  • thats ace man, makes our cover look shi-t ha check it out! =)

  • 2.36-2.40 is so fukin awesom

  • imogen heap is strange.

    but i love the lyrics to that song.

  • great cover, best so far, but if you can't hit all "those years" then ima keep searchin for somtin beta.

  • I wish Teppei would of been there to add some texture and sweet harmony... but still a great cover

  • dude........are you seriously calling "the illusion of safety" an emo album??? cmon man, if anything thrice started off as a hardcore band listen to anything off that cd, to awake and avenge the dead, deadbolt, see you in the shallows, its obvious that they have hardcore roots!

  • Well, it's more post-hardcore if you're going to slap a genre to it. I can see where both sides of the argument come from, the lyrics seemed a bit emo and people that are obsessed with labeling music consider that emo which in that logic, I suppose early Thrice would be. Unfortunately for them, music is more than labels and Thrice is the pinnacle of progressive. They constantly change and of course their early stuff will have some teen angst, Dustin was 19 for Christ's sake. Get over it.

  • People always give Thrice crap for not "sticking to their roots." Thrice is much too creative to simply play Identity Crisis over and over again. Don't get me wrong. I love that album, but being able to see them all grow is much more interesting.

  • Exactly. They call themselves experimental. Therefore they should live up to that.

  • @ibreakthingsalot I wish I could like this multiple times. Thrice = Beatles of our generation.

  • @ibreakthingsalot I could not agree more. 

  • thrice is amazing.

    imogen heap is amazing.

    nuf said

  • loved it

  • He dares to because he did it WELL.

  • Who the fuc k is this guy

    doesn't matter. GREAT cover. i;m a 19 yr old 60's rocker

    but I love this song and this rendition!!

  • he's the singer of thrice, one of the most original and creative bands out there right now

    well more accurately the started off as sort of an emo band but got progressively more and more experimental

    give them a listen, something off the album vheissu

  • his falsetto was great!

  • Dustin's got skills.....

  • I'm impressed with how good this is.

  • That bottle fits the song so perfectly.

  • lol. i had no clue what you were talking about till i heard it..

  • Even though I make it an effort to respect everyone's musical opinions, I find it hard for someone to not at least respect this cover. Dustin Kensrue is a VERY accomplished musician, and I definitely think this did the origional justice. Keep in mind your not going to get the same voice tone with a male.

  • haha that was one of the gayest internet arguments ever. i like both dustin and imogen, and that shit was funny. i love it when people get so mad on the internet that they literally can't even spell words right anymore... glorious.

    good work, dustin. good take on a hard song to cover.

  • i like it.....a rock cover of hide and seek!

  • its alright =S

  • i enjoyed this alot actually, when i first saw it i thought it was gonna be awful, not gonna lie, but i think its very well done kudos 2 Dustin :P

  • That was awesome!!!

  • amazing :)

  • thrice is mad cool. everything they do should be respected and admired. if you arent down then i think ya should stay uncool and stick with that main stream shit. fast snare and palm mutes to spacey background music with melodic overtones. its all bad ass

  • Hooooly, internet anger. Someone needs a hug.

    ANYWAYS, I remember when the whole OC parody thing went crazy with this song, I never took it seriously. Then Dustin did this and I now see it in a totally different light. Amazing job and good recording (side from the cracling, darn camera lol).

  • i'm pretty sure thrice is no longer considered punk... especially with the release of their last couple of albums. yes, i'm a huge thrice fan, but nothing beats the original version of hide and seek. you can see the effort he puts into playing the song, i guess thats all that really matters.

  • eh, i wanna here hide and seek sung w real vocal POWER, just like imogen does it. this was too dressed up.

  • so don't listen to it?

  • um...i dont.

  • I've never heard of this guy before and I am Imogen heaps biggest fan. Still, I think he did a pretty good job.

  • you havent heard of the lead singer for the band thrice????

  • ummm...no

  • I'm A Huge Fan Of Dustin Kensrue But I'm Not Into The Cover Of This Song I Love Imogen Heap

  • I Like To Capitalize Every Word For No Reason. Cause I Am A Douche Bag.

  • lmfao that made me giggle

  • omg what an awesome cover for this song man!! I wish he put it on his cd though ! Just bought it, its soo good!

  • classic tattoo ;) u rock

  • :O

    he made this song like 1024774274234x better!

  • bull. this version sucks. every cover of any song in the world is sang this way. he tried to express too much soft vocal range in a song that has vocals that are so stronge thyre used to knock u out.

  • well...uhh its not like your going to change my mind so...yeeaaa...

  • well...uh...yeah i couldnt...give a sh...it about changing your mind...

    im just...commenting on what u said....i couldnt...care less... and nor did i aim... to change ur oppinion. what...uv never had someone...reply to your comment...? that must be why you abuse the elypsis... and exagerate words like yeeeaaa...because to you...i guess...its weird that...someone might have a... different... oppinion...

    sooooooooooooo.............yea­aaaaaahhhhhh.... anywaaaaays....

    moron.

  • wow you used like 500 "..."'s and i only used 9. how about lets NOT be a smart ass and not respond? alright?

  • um ill respond to whoever i want. dont call me a fuckin smart ass u dont even know me! anyways how was i even acting smart ass? i made a valid reply to this sucky vid and ur comment. ur the one who was acting smart ass talking all ....yeeeeaaaaahhhh.....

    just cuz i pointed out the fact that u sounded like a retard doing it, dosnt make me a smart ass.

  • your the one that sounded like a moron!

    i barely used any periods and you had to be a dick about it and be like "oh.......my........god.......­..im.........so..........cool.­.......yeaaaaaa"

    SHUT THE FUCK UP DUDE!

    you ARE a smart ass.

    the best thing to do when you find a video that you dont like with a positive comment on it is absolutely nothing! move on with your shitty life for gods sake!

    all i said was he made the song sound alot better than it did before when she sang it like a robot!

  • shut the fuck up the reason why the imogen heap version sounded like a robot was because she used a vocoder, but ofcoarse you have no idea what that is. the song is so full of disonance and sarrow by itself, but of coarse it would take thrice to mainstream this shit in order for someone like you to appreciate it. sad really. thrice, ur emo, not punk, stay away from british electronica. dont give us piss and call it lemonade.

  • im emo? HA! last time i checked i hated emo. and im pretty sure that i still do. and yes, i know what a "vocoder" is, all i said was it made the poor girl sound even more like shit than she did without it. lets face it, she sounds like she is dyeing. and i know what the songs about, im not fucking retarded. and thrice IS punk. i've been listening to them since they were just a little band from the OC. your probably from the UK so you have no idea that theyve even been around that long.

  • THRICE IS NOT PUNK! and i never said u were emo: i dont even know you!!

    dude im not from the uk, im from the fuckin chi!! damn strait i dont know how long thrice has been around because they suck!!! i dont like to learn about shit that i couldnt care less about! hide and seek is a very differeent sounding song and if you dont like it then dont fucking listed ot it. imogen heap sounds beautiful and so incentive. u know wat a vocoder is? wiki loads fast eh? ur no reble, ur mainstream exept it

  • haha theyre very much

  • Smile guys! Take joy in your similar love for music in general! Celebrate your similarities with people instead of cussing them out for liking things that you don't! I think you'll enjoy life a lot more.

  • rofl.... thrice are at the pinnacle of musical creativity. fuck off with the branding and labelling, someone who apreciates music for music doesnt narrow their preference based off stereotypes.

  • they are very much not mainstream! hahahaha wow and yea they are still punk, theyve experimented with the last couple albums though.

    and WHY THE FUCK

    WOULD YOU LOOK UP A BAND THAT YOU DONT EVEN LIKE!

    only assholes look up videos JUST so they can talk shit about them.

  • why would i look it up? because i like imogen and this is a cover of her song!!! look, imogen heap is very different, and her music kicks the shit outa A LOT of stuff. and i dont mean fag emo different, i mean inovative. this version isnt better by a long shot. whatever, im tired of u already.

    so anyways, keep thinkin ur different- in that cool sort of way!!!

  • well, i figured if you hate thrice, then why click on a cover that their lead singer did? thats a bit idiotic... haha your "tired" of me? oh yea, your soooo much better than me because you listen to imogen heap. and listening to thrice must make me sooo boreing. pfft dumb shit. and im not cool. im very anti-cool. and i'd never in a million years want to be a self absorbed prick such as yourself. stop thinking your better than everyone and dont leave hate comments. that only makes people hate you

  • WOW <3

  • who is this guy

    ?

  • hey...his name is Dustin Kensrue -- he's from the band Thrice

  • He also has a side project where he does his own folk music.

    Under his name. His Brother also has an up and coming band called "Eye Alaska". Check them out as well.

  • ;DDD fuckkkk!!! love it, just love it, you are awesome

  • i love it.

  • oh my god u rock!

  • His voice is absolutly beautiful. If you haven't heard his cover of Radiohead's "Creep", go listen!

  • seriously. his cover of that gave me chills.

  • Nice. I don't just throw that around either.

  • Wow Totally loved this. Dude that totally was amazing!!!

  • love the orignal song (btw i never watched the crappy ass OC),love thrice, but I am not a huge fan of this cover... Its def a hard song to sing, and he does it justice still not a favorite since there about 500 covers of this song as it is.

  • Oh my God. This made my month.

    Positively brilliant.

  • Always gives me the chills when I hear this. He covers this so incredibly well.

  • I love your voice =)

    I love this song and it's a great version!

    Plus sometimes when you go higher you sound a bit like Paolo Nutini! Well done indeed =) xxx

  • kensrue is the man.

    one of the best writers i've heard, and the fact that he owns at hard rock and fold, is just ridiculous.

  • is this available in CD?

  • For the guy to have the balls to even ATTEMPT this song with an acoustic guitar, and to pull it off pretty well, I think he deserves quite a bit of credit. Don't like this song? Whatever. Check out his voice in For Miles off Thrice's Vheissu album. Then tell me he's a bad singer.

  • True, this song is really hard to do. And he makes a really good job on it =)

  • Totally agree. It takes a great deal of talent to translate this song from Imogen's quirky effects-laden version to a rockin' acoustic guitar version while still perserving the essense and tone of the original.

  • chords are pretty easy. E, Bmaj, C#m, A for the most part. just listen and sound it out.

  • have anyone the notes ???we sing it in a choir and need the notes??

  • nice cover... i love it!!!

  • Really excellent interpretation. Whatta great voice!

  • Pretty awesome cover. Studio version pleeeeaaaaseee.

  • pretty. Have you recorded a studio version. Please do.

  • alright wtf... people come on... imogen heap rules... and watever hes good :] i liked it

  • you can definitely hear some Imogen Heap influence on the Water disc, especially at the very end of the Whaler...great cover

  • mmm whatcha say

  • OMG that was amazing! woo

  • I personally don't like Imogen Heap in the least. In my opinion, this is an improvement on the original and Dustin does have a phenomenal voice.

  • This man is amazing.

  • dykefacemole, listen to some music that isnt on the OC, and maybe then you can appreciate the talent dustin kensrue possesses and what it took to do this cover justice.

  • Amazing!

    This gave me chills, your voice is amazing.

    Its so different hearing a guy singing this,

    your voice is very unique.

    Great job:)

  • Why would he embarrass you? Dustin Kensrue has a very unique voice and it wouldn't be a cover if he sounded exactly like Imogen Heap would it? Also, he's a dude, Imogen Heap is a girl . He did a good job. If you listened to anything from Thrice, then you would know that he is very talented.

  • wow, you're retarded. It's a COVER!!!! do you understand the concept? it doesn't have to be EXACTLY like the original. I wanna see you do a better cover. its original, diff, and great. Stupid, you're stupid

  • still cant believe he did a cover of imogen heap, but its still pretty cool

  • Wow, I've been reading some of these comments and after listening I think it was actually pretty darn good. I think when you talk about stylistically changing the song so drastically from the original, it's almost unfair to really compare. I've seen tons of people absolutely murder this song, maybe even myself included. (Check out my page.) But he did nothing of the sort. I really like his interpretation actually. Nice job.
