Get you some Rihanna - maybe "Diamonds"? Or Toddify the Black Keys "Little Black Submarines" OR go full ham on some Lil Nas X and give us "old Town Road"
You know, this isn't my favorite kind of music but I can recognize skill when I see it; Todd is one of the most diversely skilled people I've seen on this platform without any question. And it's not just that he has a wide range of skills - it's that he has achieved a high level of mastery in each of them. Guitar Bass Drums Vocals Harsh vocals Audio production Video production Song writing Not to mention the fact that he's a creative genius and genuinely funny (have you turned on closed captions in any of his videos?) There are probably more skills than this that he's mastered and I'm simply not aware of them. Dude is a fucking one man army.
I agree. There are quite sum of youtuber that tried to make Emo/Pop Punk type of music to ride the current revival, and Todd is by far one of the top talents.
@@toddbarriage Todd please PLEASE make a Black Sails AFI album, you're the only one with the ability to pull it, I'll help you with melodies and choruses!
Thanks Andrew 💙💙 I tried channeling a little bit of all their eras with this, while still being ‘me’ about it. Really happy you like how it turned out!
There are so many new bands that claim to have this style but it never hits. You my good sir have truly captured what it was like hearing a good song from that era!
This is your masterpiece... I almost wish that Saosin released this as a comeback song, but super stoked for you and this further showcases your songwriting skills!
Thanks Tye! Saosin is one of, if not the, most influential forces in how I approach making music. Not just songwriting, but their DIY ethos as well (aside from the self titled). Real stoked you like this song 🙂
Yo thank you so much! I have (had?) a band called Theatria if you wanna check us out, but I’m pretty firmly committed to just doing my thing here on UA-cam. Way more fun when I don’t have to coordinate schedules haha 💙
Todd Don't know if you will see this but I listen to your songs/ covers every day the fact that more people have not found your music is crazy to me hopefully one day you will get the number of listeners your songs/covers deserve P.s please make a album
I appreciate the crap outta you, thank you for letting me live in your ears 💙 i’m 100% gonna make an album :) you’re gonna see me upload to UA-cam less frequently for the next while, and it isn’t because i’m not making music. it’s because i’m working on making that album happen
This is amazing. Im a 32 year old black woman and this takes me back to myspace era and beinf picked on for the emo on my ipod shuffle...only to find out a decade later the same ppl picking on me were secretly listening too!
Hey, thank you so so so much! Saosin / MySpace/Warped-era bands in general have remained the foundation of my taste in music, every song i write or cover ends up being a love letter to that scene hahaha. That’s so wack people ripped on you for listening to good music, but I’m glad you’re out here still enjoying the noise :)
Ok literally I don't even know how to deal with how good this song is. Like, ya just casually SLAY a Saosin-style song like that... So good. *Slow claps*
I couldn't agree more. His screams are more like Finch than Anthony or Justin Shekoski. And the progression feels like Thursday and yet he can get the Saosin sound
Finally a refreshing new YT discovery! Been checking out your channel for the past coupla hours since I discovered it. No words man. Takes me back about 15-20 years lol
As a huge Saosin fan the first 30 seconds of this gave me nerd chills. You totally nailed the drum sound of the EP as well as some of their really classic signature melodics, and I hear both Anthony and Cove in this performance. I think this sounds like ISOSG the most, definitely giving more Cove era to me. Like the abrupt ending rather than the repetitive and drawn out vocals at the end, cutting out for momentary vocal solos, the consistency of the performance of the chorus each time, and most of all, the fact that you could understand the lyrics 😂 And the lyrics were perfect also, introspective yet vague, lots of similes, themes on point, all it was missing was a weird metaphor about eyes 😂 Seriously, as a Saosin super fan I dig this so hard, you can really feel the care and effort that went into this. So thoughtful and well executed. This certainly made my night 👍
This is insanely impressive. WOW ! First time ever hearing your music is this moment and I’m extremely feeling nostalgic hearing this thinking it’s a new song from them. Nailed it
Hell yeah, thank you so incredibly much! I'm working on an album right now, this is gonna be on it and the Saosin influence is pretty grotesque across the rest haha. Hope you enjoy it when it's out :)
This song's lit and has captured their style to a t!. You should literally title it "Joey Sturgis Asked Me to Write a Saosin Song" and release this bad boy!!
@@JustinHath99 nothing physical, but i have a hardcore EP called Counter Cult and a pop-rock album called This Is Love up on streaming places under my name (and a bunch of stuff with my band Theatria!)
Thanks James!! I honestly don’t know, I’m heavily influenced by Saosin naturally so when Joey asked me to write a ‘Saosin’ song I literally just had to write a typical Todd song lmao. I don’t have the same relationship with FFAF so it might come across as forced if i tried?
Wow. Brilliant. Im a Saosin fan. I think I can hear a little "They perched on their Stilts..." in the intro. You also did a little Anthony Green there. Nice. Great job👍👏
I missed this, man!! Whoa this is incredible Todd, you absolutely nailed their sound and are even in the perfect register for Anthony's vocals. You made an absolute BANGER, thank you for this! 🤘🤘
dude this is fucking beautiful, like truly beautiful. i feel like i really needed to hear this today. the universe gifts me the music i need when i need it but goddamn sometimes we don't know we need it till we hear it, you know? anyway - thank you. i feel better knowing someone else feels that bone deep nothingness ache too. i'm sorry, but i'm also grateful. please keep writing
i'm glad this song can be here for you 💙 i was gonna wait to release the video until the streaming release in november, but something compelled me to drop it a couple weeks early. and you're right, sometimes all it takes is to know we aren't alone!
Long time fan Todd, this is some of your best work. So so good dude! Your vocals are just right for this style, the whole emo series is perfection. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is absolutely magnificent! I will be seeing Saosin live in Hong Kong on the 9th of November, with Cove Rebber joining to tour to sing all their old stuff. A 20 year dream come true! They should be pulling you along to play this track! This is magic!
Oh man, that's the day this song comes out on Spotify haha that's a cool coincidence!! I'm so happy you get to see Saosin live, somehow I haven't yet. I hope you have an amazing time!
That genuinely means a lot to me, thank you! It's weird saying "i wrote a [band] song" without like, being in that band haha but I couldn't figure out what else to call this one!
I just came across your channel and holy shit, this is absolutely perfect. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were in the band. And the video production is so insanely good as well! Well done!
Absolutely FANTASTIC - I can just see the amount of hard work that goes into every song/cover you make and it's goddamn amazing Also huh this has kinda persuaded me to listen to some Saosin (that's a win for me, alright!)
Just found your music man, soooooo awesome, right in my per view! I added a bunch of your stuff to about 4 Spotify Playlists, can't wait to hear more!!!
WHAT DO YOU WANNA HEAR FROM ME NEXT??? 💙
ps: stream this song ffm.to/saosin
Get you some Rihanna - maybe "Diamonds"?
Or Toddify the Black Keys "Little Black Submarines"
OR go full ham on some Lil Nas X and give us "old Town Road"

Carry on of Angra emo version

You are sooo fucking correct. Epic shit
OK buddy I started no-nut November early and you're dropping THIS? You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
I have the Spotify release scheduled for mid-November, so I wanted to get the busting out of the way before edging season officially kicks off 💙
@@toddbarriage ok, fine. I'll bust early then. 😔💦
This is the best comment ever 😂
🤣
CTFU I'M DEAD
Your music is something fresh and new wrapped in a warm blanket of nostalgia. Please never stop. This was incredible.
Man, I often worry that my stuff feels dated and cliche so I’m v happy it feels fresh and new to you!! Thanks 💙💙
I’d def attend a concert if you have one❤
This comment is facts.
Dude as a Saosin fan this is absolute perfection... dare I say as good or better than their own material
As another Saosin fan, that means the fuckib world to me thank you 💙
You get a like but also....No.
Clever move by Todd at 2:47. Killer song too.
I WANT THIS TO BECOME AN EP, YOU NAILED IT MY DUDE
YO THANK YOU idk if i have a full Saosin EP in me but i definitely have a full Todd EP somewhere somewhen 💙
Screw the EP. Do an album!
@@toddbarriage Todd please PLEASE make a Black Sails AFI album, you're the only one with the ability to pull it, I'll help you with melodies and choruses!
YES YES YES IM BEGGING PLEASE I THINK YOUR OWN MUSIC WOULD BE SOOOOOOOO GOOD@@toddbarriage
Great job Todd, nailed this. I'm a huge saosin fan so this hits home.
Thanks Andrew 💙💙 I tried channeling a little bit of all their eras with this, while still being ‘me’ about it. Really happy you like how it turned out!
it's illegal that you don't have at least 1 mil subs. amazing song, you can feel the dedication to the process.
Agree.
*_Be patient. Let him grind._*
Yeah, it's almost criminal.
There are so many new bands that claim to have this style but it never hits. You my good sir have truly captured what it was like hearing a good song from that era!

Oh mannn, Anthony and Cove Saosin versions in the same song, amazing!!!!!!
I am really waiting for the Todd Barriage and the Tom Barriages tour to come through my city.
Man, if/when that happens it’s gonna be sUCH A GOOD TIME 💃🏻
When touring The Netherlands happens, i'll be there.
This took me straight back to 2006. How fantastic. Well done.
One of the best musicians on youtube right now. Kills it song after song. Keep it up or start an awesome band. Either way I’m on board.
Yo thank you so much! I have (had?) a band called Theatria if you wanna check us out, but I’m pretty firmly committed to just doing my thing here on UA-cam. Way more fun when I don’t have to coordinate schedules haha 💙
You nailed Saosin’s first EP drum mix. Heavy and full of fills. Their EP version of Bury Your Head is so fuckin good.
this brings back a very specific feeling of hearing Cove Reber sing Anthony Green era Saosin. Well done
Todd Don't know if you will see this but I listen to your songs/ covers every day
the fact that more people have not found your music is crazy to me
hopefully one day you will get the number of listeners your songs/covers deserve
P.s please make a album

Well played sir.
Saosin is also my favorite band been a fan for 20 years. This is great man, scratches that itch for sure. Keep it going!
This so excellently captures every era of Saosin! So well done!!
Thanks so much, that was my goal!
have never heard of Saosin until now
thanks for dropping a banger and giving me a new band to listen to
I am so insanely impressed with how you nailed their style, this song will be on repeat so much for me now
found the channel through the chop suey cover, dope dope dope vids, subbed man keep it up
V happy you like what I’m doing here, thank you!!
Fantastic job Todd! I feel like you nailed a good balance between Anthony and Cove's vocal deliveries.
So good. True to Saosin roots but imbued with echoes of Finch and Thursday influences too. Masterful!
thanks Charlie!! that whole early 2000s era had so much energy and passion to it. great times
I couldn't agree more. His screams are more like Finch than Anthony or Justin Shekoski. And the progression feels like Thursday and yet he can get the Saosin sound
The spirits of one thousand black-dyed-haired 16 year-olds have gathered in a divine ritual, projecting their energy unto this man.
Dude just when I was wondering which song is going to be on repeat until further notice, you delivered! Saosin rules, and so do you! A+++ material!
saosin DOES rule! thank you so so so much for vibing out to this 💙 i hope you find it loop-worthy for weeks to come!
Finally a refreshing new YT discovery! Been checking out your channel for the past coupla hours since I discovered it. No words man. Takes me back about 15-20 years lol
OMG!!!!! This is sooooooooo good. I want the old Saosin back!

BRO AGAIN WITH THE INSANE QUALITY!! 🤯🔥you deserve all of the success man! 💙
I've never listened to Saosin, but if they're anything like this they're probably worth my time...
If you havent yet, go listen to the Translating the Name EP, and then the masterpiece that is the self titled
I’d buy an entire album of this 💯%
This has both Cove Reber AND Anthony Green era Saosin vibes, perfection ❣fire af dude 🔥
thank you so much, that was the exact tightrope i was trying to walk with this! stoked you’re into it ♥️
The hell? This video needs more views. Awesome song man, good job, keep on going 🤘
Yo, thanks! I’m really happy you like this 💙
maybe a title / thumbnail swap is in order, UA-cam hit the Off Switch on this one pretty hard hahaha
This song's lit and has captured their style to a t!. You should literally title it "Joey Sturgis Asked Me to Write a Saosin Song" and release this bad boy!!
Man, thanks so much Justin! That is the name of the song, and it’s coming out everywhere Nov 9th :)
@@toddbarriage That's sick! Do you have albums available??
@@JustinHath99 nothing physical, but i have a hardcore EP called Counter Cult and a pop-rock album called This Is Love up on streaming places under my name (and a bunch of stuff with my band Theatria!)
@@toddbarriage Just found both on Napster!! Thanks man!
I hate how talented you are!!!! You make us, poor mortals, weep. This song is really good. There is both Green era and the other singer in one song
I'll be loving this for Seven Years.
Todd dude, this is so heckin good! And makes me think, would you write a Funeral for a friend song? I think you'd absolutely smash it!
Thanks James!! I honestly don’t know, I’m heavily influenced by Saosin naturally so when Joey asked me to write a ‘Saosin’ song I literally just had to write a typical Todd song lmao. I don’t have the same relationship with FFAF so it might come across as forced if i tried?
@@toddbarriage that’s fair enough, I do love Saosin so you’ve made me happy today irrelevant
This is crazy impressive, doing all the instruments as well as the vocals ! Sounds exactly like a Saosin song, i love it
yo thank you, i'm happy it sounds like saosin to you!
This is amazing. Nostalgic and brand new at the same time.
There has got to be a market for an album like this
OMG I don't know how I get here but this is even better than some of their own! Really amazing!
Yo thank you so much!! Saosin is one of my all-time favourite bands, their influence is all over my stuff even beyond this song haha
Dude this throws me back to my favorite days! Sooo good!
Wow. Brilliant. Im a Saosin fan. I think I can hear a little "They perched on their Stilts..." in the intro. You also did a little Anthony Green there. Nice. Great job👍👏
Todd + Saosin = 😻
🥰
This screams Cove era Saosin, THANK YOU! ♥
Hey, thank YOU! I tried channeling that wonderful young man through the lyrics especially 💙
I missed this, man!! Whoa this is incredible Todd, you absolutely nailed their sound and are even in the perfect register for Anthony's vocals. You made an absolute BANGER, thank you for this! 🤘🤘
The drums on this are perfection!

I love Saosin and I love your content, can’t wait for this aaaaaaa
I hope you have a good time with it 🙂
cant beat that Saosin sound, good stuff
Your voice suits this singing style and tone very well
Fit as a "Hopes Die Last" song too ^^ You're so good man, gosh
Well, if I hadn't seen this video, I could've sworn it was a new SAOSIN song...damn man, you never fail. Amazing one!! I Love SAOSIN!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

That video production is really next level awesome 🖤🖤🖤
You get the coveted BL4CKH34RTS award

Yooo thanks Kyle! This is what i feel most natural making, so I’m really happy you like it :)
You really caught the Saosin vibe there. Love it!
congrats - you got mail by the producer who defined a genre sound :D
NGL, this was sick AF my man. Absolute banger.
You continue to bless me 🥹
Yoooo! That's solid! Great song, man!
My dude!!! Holy crap this needs to be an EP. Pure gold
Todd - my dude, amazing work. I love your channel
I love you Todd, hope you are fine and to see you soon again. Happy new year to you and your family
Hey, UA-cam! Show this video to the masses because it flippin rules. 🤘🏼 Good job, Todd. ❤❤❤
This is fucking great! I fucking love Anthony Green's stuff and this is right up there man, good shit.
You're so fluffing good at this. Goddamn dude. Awesome job!

Hey, thank you so much! Beau shot me a couple fire emojis on instagram, that's gotta count for sooomething haha
Damn dude. Saosin is one of my favorite bands. You nailed this.
That genuinely means a lot to me, thank you! It's weird saying "i wrote a [band] song" without like, being in that band haha but I couldn't figure out what else to call this one!
We need more of this
Incredible editing and a great song. 👍

Wow! This is amazing!
OMFG this guy really takes me back to my 2008 🤤
I can definitely hear a good bit of Translating The Name, along with good bits from Bury Your Head And You're Not Alone
Dude, what?!
Freakin nailed it!
Perfectly captured their feel
Oh my days, this is a banger Todd!
ayyyy thanK YOU!
Absolutely FANTASTIC - I can just see the amount of hard work that goes into every song/cover you make and it's goddamn amazing
Also huh this has kinda persuaded me to listen to some Saosin (that's a win for me, alright!)
