@@imperialraijin not everyone can stop and listen because they have to rush to work, or wherever they have to be... this is what the worlds about. Its a beautiful masterpiece but some people dont have the time to stop, its not that they dont have a heart :)
@theConnorGamer Relax. I’m totally aware that people have place to go or things to be done. It was sarcastic comment just to show how great this guy is.
Brendan, I didn't know this man either but NOW! I know who he is,. LOL He is a millionaire. Do you remember Anne Lennox with the Eurythmics? He was her lead guitar player and he is a song writer. He is Awesome.
34 years old father of 3 boys...within the last 5 years I have lost my mom and older brother...thought I was stronger now...listened to this cover an it brought me to tears...had a moment of reflection in life's mirror...time to get back on track!!!
They say that grief is just the love you can't give to the lost anymore; the fix is to love those that we have now even more fiercely. My most sincere condolences
what is more "holy shit" is how nobody stopped to listen. I've missed reservations when I passed a proper street performer. although she was lovely and had a glowing violin
TheDissmaster10 the thing is that people in Sweden are, awkward, really awkward, badly awkward even... If you noticed the people that were staying and listening, you'd see that they kept their distance and didn't come to close; this is because we in Sweden kind of just give each other more space than what you do in, let's say America. It's basically a respectful thing, if you go to close to a Swede, it will either be seen as hostile, rude, or sexual (depending on the mood ofcourse😅).
I did play and sing recently on the streets in Rome, it's a very intense experience, nobody claps at you but many look at you with gratefulness, sometimes police will tell you to go away, it's not easy but it's amazing.
You also couldn't hear anyone passing. I find it hard to believe this wasn't studio recorded, because of the sound quality and absence of background noise (it can be removed, I know, but so completely?) and the video montage. Not that it takes anything away, and peyote weren't clapping (you can see it) but even if someone was, you wouldn't hear him.
"The song was written in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, 3, and Tim Parry, 12, who had been killed in the IRA bombing in Warrington, northwest England, when two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated." You just sound pretentious tbh
3 minutes turns to 10-20 minutes late when it comes to NYC traffic, sorry bro I should tell my boss that I was late cause I decided to stop and listen to a street musician 🤣🤣
Places to go, things to do. I can listen to the original with my headphones on my way to work. As Panini said, losing my job because I was late because I had to slow down and listen to this is a dumb move. I also can't play guitar, so I couldn't even do what this guy is doing to cover the bills once I lose my job.
@@tigermunky I dunno, that seems to be recorded during an evening. (Referring to this video) Only a handful of people work @ night shifts. Most people just can't be bothered to listen.
Well, I'm simplifying of course but generally speaking, Sweden is known for having a society that's very reserved and aware of personal space. Not everybody will interfere or invest energy to involve themselves into these random, spontaneous activities. People in Sweden really do mind their own business haha. Ps: I can also say that even if it has not so many constructive aspects as a society regarding social interaction, it is a beautiful country! people are indeed lovely once you get to know them(it's worth investing time in doing so) and aesthetically speaking people living in Sweden are likely to look slender and fit. hope this helped :)
9 years later and still top 3 best renditions of this song. This guy pours his heart out and it’s awesome! Thank you mister, I hope to meet you one day, helped me through some tough sh?t. Better than original maybe…. Ohhhhh shnikey ya I said it! Ha ha well done brother
This is buy far my favorite version of this song, including the original. I am a Cranberries fan but this version haunts my dreams! What a pleasure to listen to.
I always hated the cranberries and this song in particular. But when Dave does it, it's not only making sense, it's beautiful. Indeed what a pleasure to listen to.
@@followingjc1859 Not just that, the song is an apology song from the Irish (who had no blame in it, but the Cranberries felt that the irish / british stance in northern Ireland had caused these deaths, so they at least had some role in it) in regard to the recent IRA attacks that caused the deaths of 2 young boys in England. The entire song is about the stupidity of the whole conflict, "it's the same old theme since 1916 (the easter uprising).
Dude playing his heart out, and doing a phenomenal job, while the world walks by him. Sad. Take a moment, stop, listen, and appreciate the greater things in life.
@@connormacsweeney6289 Its in sweden where 99% of the population speaks english. Its just a very swedish thing to keep distance to others even when they are playing music like this.

Да, мой брат. Люди озлоблены на русских и винят нас во всех бедах. Мы многое терпели. Но настало время дать ответ нацизму в Европе! Миру мир. Брату брат. Даже если через автомат
This man proves that we are the ones who make the wrong people famous. Whereas real talent like this guy has to sing in the streets where nobody even pays you attention
He is good for sure but keep in mind that's the song of another artist. There are a lot of good singers or musicians like him but a few can create this kind of song. Well.. i'm saying this but i can atleast agree that he probably deserves more fame than music labels products.
U came here to watch him sing someone elses song. Could it be that his own songs just dont cut it? I assume ur not referencing the cranberries with the wrong people comment, easily one of the best bands of the last 30 years
KilliKonKarnage he does not have the x factor, because he clearly does not have the whole package. and thats what the x factor is. he's just a good singer and guitar player.
You guy's can't force us what to like and dislike You are the idiots for insulting the people who dislike this. God forbid if people have a different vision than your self
XhizorBE why would you involve things like religion, i will never blame someone for liking or not liking something, especially music, i can’t blame you if you don’t like old songs like this or classic music or idk. open your mind and your eyes, i don’t celebrate Christmas anymore because i don’t see the point anymore, everyone i loved is gone, but if you’re speaking about god then be ”good” how everyone pretend to be in this period
I am from Sweden and I am ashamed so few stopped to listen to this. I hate being in crowded places but I would have stopped and listened to this guy for a long time
probably because most walking by don't speak English making so they don't hear it like we do, be gibberish to them that and it's cold enough to see his breath...probably why most just keep moving
Well, most people under 55 in Western Europe are pretty good in English. But even if I wouldn´t understand one word, his singing is enormous soulful and emotional. It is not the words, that make this performance so special.
How can you expect every person in the world to want to stop for that, just because you want to? You walk by things too, that other people find too good to pass by. People have things to do, and performances like this are all over the place all the time.
@@peterwhitey4992 thank you for your answer... You don't understand that what you are saying is the problem of society... people have things to do ect... take the 3minutes and relax and show respect for this art... and you can't find such a singer on every corner... you are very bitter... maybe I can help you
I mean some people got shit to do lol. I’d stop if I could but I’m not sure how people with busy lives drives any point home. Are they supposed to stop and miss whatever they have going and be like oh my god, we need to show support for anti terrorism or we ourselves will be terrorist!
Convenience is the greatest fuel of this, everyones agenda is more important in the now. To be fair how many of these 7 million views have prolly done the exact same thing irl but go on youtube and watch videos such as this? I would wager alot, the bigger problem is the inability to stop, breathe and recognize beauty in everything.
Wow he is amazing! But he is not the only one in the world,there are so much other unknown great musicians who don't even get an applause from the crowd like this dude at the end,so sad to see these talents and don't could give them an opportunity to become famous...
GuitarSinger imagine how much better life would be if all the people who deserved to be heard were heard, instead of the shit we get rammed down are throats nowadays!
Shopping bags full, hearts and souls empty. Sad folks can't pause for a minute to see the beauty around them. Thank you !! to all the street performers who continue to try and open our eyes and ears and hearts.
yeah and your kind is the worst, sitting at home on a high horse, acting like you know what is going on with other people, what they think hear or see. the thing is i dont even believe all of you (i mean all off 6000 comments saying exactly the same) rly believe the nonsense you spew its just that you see that it gets upvotes and repeat that shit. but if you do believe what you say its just even more sad.
for sure im not just walking past if i ever hear anyone singing zombie like this, im stopping to listen to all of it and putting whatever cash i happen to have in my wallet in their guitar case
What really got me is how he instantly put his hands into his pockets after the performance. His hands were probably half frozen but he just kept playing. Beautiful
God bless !!! I saw him 20 years ago in Stockholm and I finally found him again thanks to u ....I’m crying 😭 , u could hear him miles away ... god bless u !!!.
Never mind the money, how in the fuck does people not take a minute from their life and stay by and have a listen for a masterpiece like this when its offered to you for free😳
Thomas M it wasn’t meant for the tens or maybe hundreds who walked by during this performance. It’s meant for me. For you and the millions of others who have enjoyed it for what it is.
yeap, but it's Stockholm main pedestrian street with all the gift-shops, so probably, there are more tourists than natives. Dave said that he gets more money from people he sees frequently other than from tourists. also, some people might have been uncomfortable with me running around him with big camera)
I come back to this video every now and than, I’m so shocked how many zombies walked by. Like nobody jumped in to add harmony? He’s phenomenal, away from the mic someone could have added high notes. This song is a classic, and this dude just covered it with utter perfection!! I’d be jumping up and down to sing with him!
Well, that's stockholm Sweden. Every one is busy, eveyone is in a hurry. No one turns an eye to anyway. No one talk unless you have to. Everything is cold. All the way to the heart.
There is something enchanting about this video.. The guy, the hoodie, the warm, Christmas atmosphere, the guitar ... the whole lot of it alltogether. It's magical! Not to forget the great interpretation of the song. Simply one of the youtube's gems!
Wow! I have heard a lot of covers for this song and I have never heard it done like this. It was almost tranquil. Gave it a whole new feel and meaning. Thank you for this
Some of the best music was and still is being performed for free right on the street, some of the best shows you’ll ever see are free and people don’t even care, this guy did so amazing, thank god he can upload this to UA-cam so people who appreciate true music and musicians can see this,

Welcome to tbe world of being a real musician breaking the mold of what's accepted
How people are just walking by this without stopping is just beyond me.
It’s actually perfect- the art is realised because nobody stops, brings real meaning to the song, it’s sad but it shows how true the lyrics are.

Alex Fomin. I would love a cd so I could listen to the amazing songs from this very talented man.
Shopping bags full, hearts and souls empty. Sad folks can't pause for a minute to see the beauty around them. Thank you !! to all the street performers who continue to try and open our eyes and ears and hearts.
yeah and your kind is the worst, sitting at home on a high horse, acting like you know what is going on with other people, what they think hear or see. the thing is i dont even believe all of you (i mean all off 6000 comments saying exactly the same) rly believe the nonsense you spew its just that you see that it gets upvotes and repeat that shit.
but if you do believe what you say its just even more sad.
Amen brother that's some facts right there
@@karlcox5714 Yes man..good conclusion.
It's Sweden man, we're not very social. It would be really awkward for someone to clap. It's just how our culture is.
bullshit. Should we make him rich, just because he can sing a little?
Лучший ковер на эту композицию что я слышал. Люди мимо проходящие притормозите, очнитесь!
must of listened to this version about 20 times and I keep coming back. Dave is Amazing,
My dream is find something like this guy singing in the street, I will spend hours listen to him. OMG
... attention *and* (hopefully) money! ;)
He spent years in stockholm, same street singing..
for sure im not just walking past if i ever hear anyone singing zombie like this, im stopping to listen to all of it and putting whatever cash i happen to have in my wallet in their guitar case
Doesnt take long if you go to the right spot
Agreed
What really got me is how he instantly put his hands into his pockets after the performance. His hands were probably half frozen but he just kept playing. Beautiful
Been coming back to this again and again over the years, the best cover i've heard, thank you for posting
I'm listening it time to time. What a performance!
great version of this song. great voice.. would love to hear him sing Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man". I think the voice would fit perfect.
This is terrific! How no one stopped to listen is beyond me
nick spoto There were some people in the back that stopped
Sadly the World we live in were always in a rush We never stop and enjoy something
I liked it.
must be strange to live in a city full of deaf people
Because they are 08 or (if you are from stockholm then you are a 08)
What a fabulous version.... damn.... this was beyond GREAT!!!
Killed it! Zombie solo for the ages!!
God bless !!! I saw him 20 years ago in Stockholm and I finally found him again thanks to u ....I’m crying 😭 , u could hear him miles away ... god bless u !!!.
Vart då? Har inte sett honom på väldigt länge, saknar honom.
Wow, gotta love the internet!
@@Casperdghost618 idd mate !
Nämen är du här Susse?! :D haha, Jag ska lätt leta upp den här karln nästa gång jag är i stockholm. Han var grymt bra!
@@mikaelcarlsson3911 hahahaha Jo hänger här för det mesta 🤣🤣
who else imagines to be playing and singing like him
audio phile same I wish I could sing 😂
Everyone.
ALLWAYS THE SAME comments begging for Thumbs UP
Only those that have never played and sung for money.
His guitar is half step down, or smth like this, i tryied it out myself, but i can not compare to him.
I honestly would of stood and listened to this man all night, amazing!
Beautiful cover right there, and he plays guitar like it’s easy, simply amazing.
I really can’t understand how you could walk past this artist and not stop and throw in a donation
How much cash did you donate to this guy?
@@sirloin7633 He cant past for him!
@@Barthezbl speak english ....
because, some people can hear, but only a few can listen a real talent
Never mind the money, how in the fuck does people not take a minute from their life and stay by and have a listen for a masterpiece like this when its offered to you for free😳
Who is jamming this in 2020? God bless you all and I hope you have a great year full of love!
you made my day :) same to you
hog leg he save my quarantine day
Yupp!
I'am turkish and I love it
April 22 here👍🏾
One of the most beautiful covers of this song
That sky color with this excelent performance is what I need right now
a mirror of our time. Everybody is just in rush and don’ t listen to this great performance
we got YT xD
Thomas M ты прав
Bratan, это великолепно. Я танцую
Dance forever And song evribady
Oke:)
Just don't believe
Thomas M it wasn’t meant for the tens or maybe hundreds who walked by during this performance. It’s meant for me. For you and the millions of others who have enjoyed it for what it is.
And to the lyrics tho
wow. awesome!...how r people just walking past not stopping??
most of them believe, they still need a lot of things to buy, i guess))
+fvgc454ss its sweden, people just dont give a fuck about anything here
yeap, but it's Stockholm main pedestrian street with all the gift-shops, so probably, there are more tourists than natives. Dave said that he gets more money from people he sees frequently other than from tourists.
also, some people might have been uncomfortable with me running around him with big camera)
+fvgc454ss
it also seems to be cold in the video. well, this could not keep me from listening! just love it!! =D
+GermanDachshund I believe it was December 27. yeah, Dave's fingers were frozen and I couldn't hold the camera steady, but it was fun)
I come back to this video every now and than, I’m so shocked how many zombies walked by.
Like nobody jumped in to add harmony? He’s phenomenal, away from the mic someone could have added high notes.
This song is a classic, and this dude just covered it with utter perfection!! I’d be jumping up and down to sing with him!
Wow. This took me to my past, present and future all at the same time. Incredible performance ❤
After all the bad BAD covers made of this song that totaly destroyed the fuck out of it, one guy made it good and important again!
I love it!
How can people just walk by this awesomeness?
awesomeness? muahahha
Exactly. One of the greatest talents the world has ever seen. But who sees it? lol
We did :)
Every cover of this song I listen to and each one is amazing ❤
Бляяя, надо быть реальным зомби, что бы пройти мимо и не послушать в живую это исполнение. Респект мужику, очень душевно и нереально круто спел.
+
об этом и песня..( что все мы в той или иной степени зомби...
Согласен збсь спел.
Yes iam agree whit you at 100%
Ну у нас в России тоже мимо над хорошими песнями проходят. Так же и там
I live in Asheville, NC. We love our buskers. We always stop to listen to the amazing talent.
michael hillyard. me to
Well, that's stockholm Sweden. Every one is busy, eveyone is in a hurry. No one turns an eye to anyway. No one talk unless you have to. Everything is cold. All the way to the heart.
How can you NOT stop and feel?!💫💙
There is something enchanting about this video.. The guy, the hoodie, the warm, Christmas atmosphere, the guitar ... the whole lot of it alltogether. It's magical! Not to forget the great interpretation of the song. Simply one of the youtube's gems!
i`m crying hearing this cover... too much emiotions. awesome. thank You.
Fuck your picture xD
Nice picture
i wouldn't be able to just walk by just an amazing voice
Liam 277 bunch of zombies
Liam 277 około
Yes if youre a swede its possible
carloscharlie franco love that answer, so true 💙
Fantastic performance. You just inspired me to take guitar in my hands and play along with you. Thank you
A natural ballad singer for sure. Great to hear they are still around. Rare for sure.
That was so good I have to watch it again
i did it 3 000 000 times xD again and again
Took 4 years for this to be recommended but I still gotta say, Great Job to the artist!!.
Art is subjective, I think this is simply amazing. If this were on iTunes this would be my download choice hands down. Raw emotion 🍻🤘🏻
Wow!
I have heard a lot of covers for this song and I have never heard it done like this.
It was almost tranquil. Gave it a whole new feel and meaning.
Thank you for this
This guy ROCKS! Amazing performance!
cold fingers
frozen!)
Brad Kasteelen muito bom
Toninho Inacio Santos bom gosto
but warm heart and voice
Still one of the best covers of this song i've ever heard.
Some of the best music was and still is being performed for free right on the street, some of the best shows you’ll ever see are free and people don’t even care, this guy did so amazing, thank god he can upload this to UA-cam so people who appreciate true music and musicians can see this,
A more perfect scenario for this song is impossible.
01:53 Goosebumps?
me again.... its in my favorites man, i want more this guys rocks!!!
So good thx for share. The Voice is amazing. God save Dave Stewart. Greetings from Germany
