I saw him in Bendigo at 16 stood in front of him and the band playing no shoes and cried my eyes out was so surreal. I love him so much. No one else was really there for something for Kate so I had the front for me and a few other fans. Best best memory. Oh except Paul Kelly playing when I first met ur ma at at kilda fest as sunset oh music is life maaaaan

An acoustic cover of Wrecking Ball is genius. I've listened to quite a few, but Paul's just has some emotional rawness to it that completely blows every other version out of the water. But that's just me
@@lorraineheath7609 I completely agree with you. I may not 'like' her, but she write amazingly. Completely raw and painful lyrics. I guess that's what happens when... well... It seems her life has been painful. Also, Jared Leto w/ 30 Seconds to Mars covering Rihanna's Stay - He makes that song *H U R T* ua-cam.com/video/IqPATbDhrb4/v-deo.html
I'd love to have seen the look on the MMM producer's face when he tells them, "Yeah, I'm gonna do Wrecking Ball, you know, the Miley Cyrus song" and then comes into the studio and produces this. Mindblowing.
I keep coming back to watch this every few months. PD is a musical genius and whilst his own work (SFK and Solo) is brilliant, his covers are the greatest! This and his cover of The Middle Kids " Edge of Town" are mind blowing
always loved Something For Kate & saw Paul on his last tour.. he was simply stunning! how one guy & a guitar can sound so incredible is almost unthinkable. there wasnt a dry eye in the crowd by the end of his amazing set =)
I saw Something for Kate live in '96 and wrote them off, as it was a terrible gig with a terrible audience. Luckily I found them (especially Paul) again just recently. Such talent.
We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain We jumped never asking why We kissed, I fell under your spell. A love no one could deny Don't you ever say I just walked away I will always want you I can't live a lie, running for my life I will always want you I came in like a wrecking ball I never hit so hard in love All I wanted was to break your walls All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you, you wreck me I put you high up in the sky And now, you're not coming down It slowly turned, you let me burn And now, we're ashes on the ground Don't you ever say I just walked away I will always want you I can't live a lie, running for my life I will always want you I came in like a wrecking ball I never hit so hard in love All I wanted was to break your walls All you ever did was wreck me I came in like a wrecking ball Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung Left me crashing in a blazing fall All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you, you wreck me I never meant to start a war I just wanted you to let me in And instead of using force I guess I should've let you win I never meant to start a war I just wanted you to let me in I guess I should've let you win Don't you ever say I just walked away I will always want you I came in like a wrecking ball I never hit so hard in love All I wanted was to break your walls All you ever did was wreck me I came in like a wrecking ball Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung Left me crashing in a blazing fall All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you, you wreck me Yeah, you, you wreck me.
I never thought anyone could sing wrecking ball better than Miley Cyrus did but HOLY CRAP HE DID IT SO WELL! my jaw imminently dropped when he started singing!

Paul Dempsey is possibly the most unrecognised talent in Australian music. The guy is phenomenal. 👏👏👌
Almost at a level of 'can I have 10,000 of those'.. pure talent..
On the Sunshine Coast he said he will never sing this live... I believe the words were "I'm not singing that f'n M Cyrus song."😂

only the best thing since Something for Kate
💯💯💯
One of the best covers ever. I come back to this all the time.
I consider myself a pretty decent working solo acoustic musician but this is fucking unattainable for most of us. Dempsey is so fucking good.
This is the best acoustic cover I have ever heard.
Thanks ozzyman for sending me here! Amazing talent.
Same
Ditto

NOT JUST YOU!
Every now and then a track hits me. Dave Matthews crash into me this cover. I should have given Miley more credit this track is fucking gold
If you haven't yet, you should check out Dustin Kensrue's version. Talk about rawness.
@@bobisadrummer I will check that out today.

This deserves a million views... & This guy is just UNDERRATED !!
I'd love to have seen the look on the MMM producer's face when he tells them, "Yeah, I'm gonna do Wrecking Ball, you know, the Miley Cyrus song" and then comes into the studio and produces this. Mindblowing.
Considering he's screaming his lungs out, his chord changes are effortless.
I'm so envious of people who can sing like this.
practice... it will take time.. use youtube.. they have heaps of stuff about singing training WHOOP!!
And here I am, back listening to this gem in isolation
A real unsung talent...deserves so much more airplay
"Unsung" is an appropriate word to use when talking about Something For Kate.

Please put this on spotify, it kicks arse. Thanks.
Best cover I've heard. So emotional, sung with feeling.
Nothing better when a cover song is better than the original Paul Dempsey you have knocked it out of the ball park.
I saw Something for Kate live in '96 and wrote them off, as it was a terrible gig with a terrible audience. Luckily I found them (especially Paul) again just recently. Such talent.
Paul Dempsey and his touch of magic .... Superb !!
Possibly the greatest cover of all-time. The end.
Listen to him sing backs to the wall Divinyls cover👍
Well, there's always Disturbed's version of the Sound Of Silence. That's pretty good.
@@timbrom Yeah, that's a good one. This is definitely better than that, though.
Simply nailed it. Better than the original. I heard this live on the radio heading home from work that day and it just caught me off guard... totally!
still can't get over how this actually sounds really good
A river of tears. Immediately. This is some seriously raw and beautiful singing here.
Paul could sing the phone book and make it sound epic!
Something for Kate is rot tho. But he sings so much better on his own and probably is the best singer in Australia
Yeh man . Ne nails everything. Love him
so weird how many pop songs sung properly sound brilliant.
That's because their usually written by actual artists and then sold to record companies
Miley sings it beautifully, to be fair
A unique song that is totally lost in the craziness.
Love it I listen to when my homework
Holy fuck this is amazing!!!!
It really is!!!! I didn’t give a f about the original, now it’s my favorite song ever.
Makes the song listenable, go paul! Amazing as always.
frikin' amazing
God's breath, Dempsey! Brought a tear to my eye.
Jesus H. Corbett... One of the greatest covers ever.
The video really did this well-written pop song an injustice.
just came across this guy. he makes every single song sound like power! amazing
My fave singer/song writer, what a voice.
Great cover.
One man, one instrument= heaven! Blown away! Pure talent!! Xx
Wow this gave me goose bumps
Amazing! Superb! Brilliant! WOW!
Brilliant. Brings depth to the song.
This guys voice is awesome, totally crushes this song.
WOW! I laughed for the first half and cried for the second! How does that even happen!!!
Jesus wept. Amazing! You hear Paul Dempsey you know you’re in for a treat. Wow.
This really shows what a wonderful voice Paul has. Incredible.
Paul Dempsey fucking Rocks. That is all.
God this man can sing. So underrated.
Wow!! Paul Dempsey rocked this......talent talent talent. Play it again Sam.
That is just an awesome song, love this version!
WOW,,,didnt think much of this song until now....blew me away
I constantly come back to this. I heard he had 3 mins to learn it and the knocked it out the park. I wish it was available on Spotify
A video of this song that I can watch without being sick or disturbed. Also excellent singing mate, better than the original version
Wait
It's actually good
why is it so GOOD
Lol, great comment.
call-me-wdc
3 words Paul Fucking Dempsey!!
Don't really need say much more than that!
We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain
We jumped never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell.
A love no one could deny
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me.
Well, well Miley - We hear your words now and *DAMN GIRL! YOU CAN WRITE! BRAVA!!*
Pretty sure she didn't write the lyrics.
when God was giving out the talent, this guy was at the head of the line
i think he lined up twice
wow...so much talent. Awesome cover.
Goosebumps.
Genius, as always!
I need this on Spotify! PLEASE!
Paul's other covers are amazing too, look him up on Triple J like a version =)
Paul Dempsey is amazing-full stop!His covers are SUBLIME.From a jealous amateur guitarist who tries to write songs......
This is epic!
And also way better than Miley 😂
Paul's voice takes this song to whole new level
They say covers aren't better than the original
Amen!
+TheJemess1 Miley Cyrus' version is a cover, was written by a 35 year old songwriter/producer
I never thought anyone could sing wrecking ball better than Miley Cyrus did but HOLY CRAP HE DID IT SO WELL! my jaw imminently dropped when he started singing!
Inspired me with full form.
Incredible artist with great talent in full form by doing things differently.!!
✌😢🤙☔👍🌀😘😭

So how does this work for artists when they hear Paul Dempsey is doing a cover? Oh great I'm flattered....oh shit it's way better then mine.
What a voice!
What is it about SFK and covers? They're always better than the original. Thats pretty rare.
He hit those chorus notes perfect!
i cant believe how underrated he is
Great Cover Paul, killed it!
Them vocals! That guitar sound...
I miss you & STeph,

Better than the original.
Sublime
