Crowd clearly had no idea they were standing in front of one of those most emotionally powerful persons of rock music. Dustin is raw poetry and wisdom.
Seriously....the people screaming and clapping at the end are the same ones who were laughing and snickering at the beginning. That song is amazing and people are stupid
After watching this a dozen times or so, I love how the people giggle during the first couple bars immediately STFU when they realize he's not kidding. This song is beautiful and he does an incredible job bringing the emotion out of it. Thank you Dustin for being you. More of this
Cody Martinez the crowd is a bunch of idiots. This song is amazing. Sorry all the Hannah Montana-My daddy wrote a famous song in the 90’s-I grew up rich-tongue sticking out in every picture-crap of Miley Cyrus. The song itself is amazing
I was actually at this show. He's my favorite artist hands down and to see him in a tiny place like The Irenic was a treat. When he started playing this we all (as you can hear) chuckled bc we were like "Seriously??" - before we knew it everyone was mesmerized and when he stepped back from the mic to belt out the song we all had goosebumps. His rendition was so powerful.
Best Performance on UA-cam. Crowd thinks hes joking and realize this is a serious take. And it is seriously incredible. Im in nantucket and ill never forget where and when i heard this MASTERPIECE. When he steps awY from the mike this turns epic...and when he closes he does so like a fricken wrecking ball....kills it!
I'd *heard* this song a thousand times but I never *listened* to it until I heard Dustin sing it with his incredible voice. And now i understand it has meaning and emotion that just didnt translate through the pop rendition. I love it to pieces, and have been singing it for days,
He shut that crowd up quick. He took a song they hated and pulled tears of joy out of their very eyes with it then said "you're welcome for your new open minds. peace"
Grown men giggling at the fact that Dustin Kensrue is covering Miley Cyrus is really disrespectful. The man is poring his heart out through his art and what is a great song.
Their giggles are disrespectful, I agree, but it also goes to show that they were still moved. Whether they have the emotional capacity to handle it or not is another story ahah I bet they were fighting back tears during Dustin's strong ending.
I've watched this video dozens of times and it still makes me tear up every time. I never would have imagined myself liking this song to begin with, but Dustin is a master at subverting expectations. I would have loved to have been there at that show
JESUS! I was feeling hyper emo and just wanted to watch a more passionate cover of this song specifically and to say he DELIVERED would be the biggest understatement. Thank you brother. Bless you wherever you are now
Dustin turned one of my least favorite songs into this work of art. Long live his vocal chords so that the world may be continually graced with his talent.
It was only your least favorite song because of your own judgemental attitudes. It's always been a beautiful song, it just took an artist you deem worthy of your praise covering it for you to be able to recognize that. Try to recognize a song for what it is, don't let your own preconceived notions surrounding whoever wrote the song influence your appreciation for the art. Dustin clearly does not.
It's amazing to see the crowd laughing because that is a very particular song for Dustin to cover but by the end everyone is quiet listening to such an amazing piece that wouldn't have been otherwise if Dustin wouldn't have covered it.
I always liked this song, the words , but never the way it was so poppy and mainstream. Now listening to this made me smile so much and cry a little cuz the style and the song were perfect for each other, thanks Dustin you freaking music angel
This is so good. You can really notice how in the first half, the people are giggling because he chose such a "strange" song to cover. However, in the last chorus the people start cheering because they just realized how Dustin managed to turn a song like this into a masterpiece by his voice and guitar alone.
He nailed the song, but more importantly, he saw through the preconceptions of “a pop song” and realized just how well this song was written. The lyrics stand alone, but most “mature” adults fail to even notice them while they obsessively gawk at the idol they’ve created in their own perception (i.e. Miley Cyrus)
Now, some are appreciative/reverent of their newly discovered alternative to the idol they deemed unworthy of their reverence, so they “put him high up in the sky”. The idol will always come down though, due to the nature of idolatry Meanwhile... the words remain unheard by those who lack the ears to hear them
I feel so honored to have shook your hand and thank you for the amazing performance in poplar grove, IL a number of years ago when you came out into the parking lot to mingle with Thrice's fans. You're an amazing artist and a continuing inspiration to me. Thank you, Dustin.
As someone that grew up listening to artist in the ambulance his new style of voice is so unsettling. Who could have that thrice had such beautiful vocal chords. It isn't just an awesome band with awesome rythm. We are blessed. Call it whatever works best for you. Good job dustin now let's revolutionize society.
People are giggling and they can tehehehe all they want, but that is actually a really great song. A lot of people can't get over Miley Cyrus' gimmicks and actually listen to some of her songs, they're really good....great cover btw. It took some guts and you killed it.
This cover is 100% more powerful and emotionally raw than the original version. Not that Miley isn't talented, but this made me feel a completely different way.
One of those few times where the person covering the song just outdoes the original artist so hard. Like Johny Cash covering Hurt, Wrecking Ball is now owned by Dustin
Hi, We’re A.J. and Tara, an L.A. Pop group with a lot of Rock influence. We love this cover version! it inspired us to do our own cover of this song:) what other music artists do you (or anyone reading this) like too?
Wheres the guy laughing at the beginning of the song? He is awfully applausatory at the end. Incredible rendition of this song. Absolutely amazing. If I had half as much talent as this, I'd be famous.
Sssshhhhh... ...new subscriber here! That was THE MOST different interpretation of that song I’ve ever heard! kudos Dustin, that is touching! 🙏 we need more of that!! edit: you should see me singing along over and over again! 😂 my heart is with it but my voice range won’t follow! 😉
@@TheRealConcertKing ill give it a shot only cause you shared DK 😂 and i greatly appreciate the experience you shared.. thank you sir for the suggestion ill be listening 🎶 ☺
my friend ask me friday to learn this song because his girlfriend pass away 1 years ago. i learned it. and he passed away saturday. im still waiting for him to do it. your cover is so beautiful and now so sad for me.
He made a fantastic point. When you tear away alot of the bullshit of a pop song some of them are and can be really fucking good. I mean...most of those songs are written by some amazing studio cats. They're just sold to pop stars. This is a great example of what most of those can be when torn down to a simple chord progression and some really strong vocals.
LinkinJoze very interesting. we give a lot of pop stars a lot of flack for their music, but when you have an artist like Dustin cover the song, you realize the lyrics are pretty decent and filled with meaning. Context is really everything.
Because it all got lost on everyone when Miley made it more about her riding naked on an actual wrecking ball. The only thing stripped here is the song, and the best is how halfway through the crowd stops laughing and has their "holy shit" moment.
***** I hated Imogen Heap when I was young. I heard Dustin cover her "Hide & Seek" song and loved it, to the point that I was willing to listen to the original. didn't mind it. grew on me rather quickly.
***** no. pop stars still suck. it took Dustin covering the song, which is not written by Miley but performed, for us to realize the actual power of the song. most pop stars deserve all the flack we throw their way if they're walking to the bank with a bunch of people's money.
It's a beautiful song in it's original incantation but Dustin definitely makes the song his own and adds so much more weight to the words in this stripped down rendition and how he sings/belts out the lyrics.

you deserve a better audience.
Crowd clearly had no idea they were standing in front of one of those most emotionally powerful persons of rock music. Dustin is raw poetry and wisdom.
what a bunch of idiots...
They were laughing cause they’re idiots
Seriously....the people screaming and clapping at the end are the same ones who were laughing and snickering at the beginning. That song is amazing and people are stupid
Holy shit these comments are cringe.
definitely did not, I was there. he's such an amazing musician
After watching this a dozen times or so, I love how the people giggle during the first couple bars immediately STFU when they realize he's not kidding. This song is beautiful and he does an incredible job bringing the emotion out of it. Thank you Dustin for being you. More of this
Love how everyone thought it was a joke at first. Then as the tears start pouring down they were like, "Shit, this is really good"
I had the exactly same thought :D
Yeah "he is covering a pop song, this will be funny". Next minute... tears!
Sadly it says something about the crowd, audience,... Us. Tip of the hat to you Mr. Kensrue
Cody Martinez the crowd is a bunch of idiots. This song is amazing. Sorry all the Hannah Montana-My daddy wrote a famous song in the 90’s-I grew up rich-tongue sticking out in every picture-crap of Miley Cyrus. The song itself is amazing
Couldn’t have put it better. Starts with derisive chuckles, ends with a pin drop being heard and everyone’s breath being taken away.
I was actually at this show. He's my favorite artist hands down and to see him in a tiny place like The Irenic was a treat.

I love it to pieces, and have been singing it for days,
I can't believe this song/video hasn't got more attention. Incredible cover.
He shut that crowd up quick. He took a song they hated and pulled tears of joy out of their very eyes with it then said "you're welcome for your new open minds. peace"
Almost 5 years after this performance and that statement still rings true. This man can invoke emotionality out of a bag of rocks.
As always dustin gave me chills at the end with is poweful voice. Thx again for sharing that man !

A few years ago I was driving across the Mohave with two of my best friends listening to this... it takes me back everytime I watch it.
Dustin is amazing. I'm lucky enough to meet him twice. Long live Thrice!
This is honestly such a jaw-droopingly beautiful rendition of this song and seeing it played so honestly with such raw emotion is moving...
2019 still getting the chills
This is the best cover out there of this song. Most real, most life-like.
Dustin turned one of my least favorite songs into this work of art. Long live his vocal chords so that the world may be continually graced with his talent.
Blankface91 Couldn't have phrased it better. Thank you :) x and thank you, Dustin
Absolutely.

@@btbrotherton big agree my man, pop music can be and is just as valid and beautiful as alternative music
Thrice is so Boss!!!
I can't wait to see them un November....
Best version out there!!
It's amazing to see the crowd laughing because that is a very particular song for Dustin to cover but by the end everyone is quiet listening to such an amazing piece that wouldn't have been otherwise if Dustin wouldn't have covered it.
Juan Daza well said Mr Daza... =)
Wow hidden gem. One of the best covers I've ever heard❤❤❤
Tears, brother. Can't believe I'm just seeing this. Beautiful. Thank you.
Incredible. Astounding. The final verse is just awesome.
I love how at about 3:45 everyone stops laughing, gets quiet, and realizes, "He just pulled this off and I like this song..."
I always liked this song, the words , but never the way it was so poppy and mainstream. Now listening to this made me smile so much and cry a little cuz the style and the song were perfect for each other, thanks Dustin you freaking music angel

said this in the past and I'm going to say it again, I can't die happy until I hear Dustin cover every song ever made. This guy is so awesome.
Everything about this is awesome!
You are an amazing showman and performer.
This rocks!
Made the mistake of reading the comments. God dammit.
This cover is great. Period.
3:50 crowed finally realizes they are actually listening to a masterpiece
Fact
4:21 ish, it gave me chills
Masterpeice?? He made it listenable
@@JBYT01 something about screaming women elicits a strong response. on top of the amazing voice it does give you chills.
They took way too long
This was hauntingly BEAUTIFUL!
Your arrangement is brilliant!

"I'm not taking requests, the lyrics are... on my arm"
Never thought I'd ever get goose bumps from a Miley Cyrus Song
Dustin is a talent we will always look back and wish we had more of.
Damn, I was not expecting that. This guy is ridiculously talented
People are giggling and they can tehehehe all they want, but that is actually a really great song. A lot of people can't get over Miley Cyrus' gimmicks and actually listen to some of her songs, they're really good....great cover btw. It took some guts and you killed it.
that was incredible. dustin gets me every time.
never thought a Miley Cyrus song could give me goose bumps
Dustin Kensrue is one of the best musicians I've ever heard. Can't change my mind.
Thems just the facts
Definitely killed it, good stuff.
Can we admit that Wrecking Ball regardless is a dope song and just it’s Miley that a lot of you don’t like? 😂
Miley is and awesome singer tbh, she can handle any type of song.
Yeah this song is actually amazing, started playing it after my first listen. So strong.
Omg dude, thanks for recording this awesome video of him!!
This cover is 100% more powerful and emotionally raw than the original version. Not that Miley isn't talented, but this made me feel a completely different way.
One of those few times where the person covering the song just outdoes the original artist so hard. Like Johny Cash covering Hurt, Wrecking Ball is now owned by Dustin
He's amazing
Chills...wow
awesome cover
3.50 made me realise 'bout who was going to sing at my wedding and funeral! Dustin, yet again, you damn nailed it
I wish I had a HD audio version of this!
It's ... it's ... beautiful.
The original is a great song and Dustin's cover of it is great as well.
What a absolute legend!!!!
Seriously had goosebumps less than 20 seconds into it.
Fucking fantastic.
Josh Hofer Absolutely. I'm bummed he didn't bust this out in Seattle.
Dustin you can take any song and give it so much ore meaning then anyone every knew it had... that's universal talent on a while mother's level
This is fantastic.
track starts at: 1:34
How could anyone dislike this?
great version. was there too!
He only gave NYC Lorde. Haha. I love this!! Thanks for posting it
Hi, We’re A.J. and Tara, an L.A. Pop group with a lot of Rock influence. We love this cover version! it inspired us to do our own cover of this song:) what other music artists do you (or anyone reading this) like too?

Holy Mother Mary. This is simply unreal.
Wheres the guy laughing at the beginning of the song? He is awfully applausatory at the end.
Incredible rendition of this song. Absolutely amazing.
If I had half as much talent as this, I'd be famous.
And this folks is what good music from a real human being can do to you. It's transformative.
Strange crowd
Alexis Armstead people that kmow him.
dustin could cover the happy birthday song and it would be amazing.
He did carol of the bells and it was fucking amazing
love dustin ❤
magical
That was actually awesome
Sssshhhhh... ...new subscriber here! That was THE MOST different interpretation of that song I’ve ever heard! kudos Dustin, that is touching! 🙏 we need more of that!! edit: you should see me singing along over and over again! 😂 my heart is with it but my voice range won’t follow! 😉
So... where can I buy his version. now. please?
Its Really it’s on his live solo album
Fucking love how he shut them all up
I thought i thoroughly disliked MC but after hearing this i absolutely love DK!!!! Only version of this song ill listen to
Listen to Miley's Plastic Hearts album, it's genuinely great
@@TheRealConcertKing ill give it a shot only cause you shared DK 😂 and i greatly appreciate the experience you shared.. thank you sir for the suggestion ill be listening 🎶 ☺
Sooooooo gooood!!!
I don't usually listen to Miley Cyrus, but when I do I Dustin Kensrue.

Fuckinnnnnn awesome version, love it
Are you fucking kidding me?
It's interesting that he was super serious while performing this song and the crowd was laughing
LinkinJoze very interesting. we give a lot of pop stars a lot of flack for their music, but when you have an artist like Dustin cover the song, you realize the lyrics are pretty decent and filled with meaning. Context is really everything.

The interesting thing about Dustin to me...He can own and captivate the audience with his voice and acoustic guitar..even when they act pretty silly.
I'd kill to have a voice like his.
Please don't. :D
and people are laughing.... Dustin can turn any sont into pure pleasure!! pure talent!!
Smashed it
Wow 😯😯😯
Can someone tell me how to play this version without a capo?
They think he’s covering a song of Miley Cyrus, when Miley Cyrus is being covered by Dustin Kensrue.
It is much better than the original
It's a beautiful song in it's original incantation but Dustin definitely makes the song his own and adds so much more weight to the words in this stripped down rendition and how he sings/belts out the lyrics.

There's only like 1 insecure douchebag in this recording...and it only last for a second or two.

Unbelievable.
Notice how the stupid crowd shut up and couldn't quit listening. Then cheered. Bravo
