Hands down, my personal favorite version of his song.
The acoustic version just hits harder
These guys give me hope in music. Rock and roll is still alive and well.
+UndoubtedKris You should look into Royal Blood as well. Rock is definitely still kicking.
+UndoubtedKris AGREED!
These guys are Led Zeppelin to Royal Blood's Pink Floyd.
omfg yes, nailed it. exactly what i thought earlier today!!
~Nimble Navigator~ WHAT! Doods gotta have a buncha kids runnin round all over errwhere
I'd lose my mind if I saw him singing on the side of the road
RadRed
Exactly what I was thinking..
Ridiculous live I'd see them 100 times live BLEW me away
Same what the heck
I'd try to sing harmony
some of the greatest musicians of all time never left the side of the road and got passed up everyday by deaf drones living in a bubble and under the cloud of oppression forced upon humanity by monsters in human form, only kept alive to serve the few on top and allowed just enough "freedom" to exist but far from actually LIVING. some just get lucky i guess, most others though are just left to walk the path set before them into destruction without an outlet to release the energies of creation that live inside of them and us all in varying degrees and of different expressions but when born in an environment with the freedom to grow and the love to nourish that growth what would result is a world lifted to a higher state by the concerted creations and efforts made by a diverse human race that uses their differences to unite and create rather than to divide and destroy because
the only differences between us are the ones we make
so lets make love and conquer hate
True Love Living for its own sake
6 years and im the only one that listens to this over and over and over again.. reminds me that ppl dont know music
Trust me friend you are not the only one. I listen to this no less than 5 times a day
This and Wolf on repeat...
Still here
Seven years later, and I still don’t forgive you for not uploading this version to Spotify. I love you. ❤
Truee bro still waiting too
facts!
One of the many reasons yt music is better than spotify
honestly dude
As a musician myself...this band is very good especially as a three piece...no song sounds the same but all are great...what this dude does with his vocals...change in timing...lyrics are solid...above average guitar player skill wise but plays with his gut which is more critical than being technically sound...if this was the 90s these guys would be household names...maybe sacralidge but in my opinion they are the best 3 piece rock band ever or any band ...yep I said it...you guys set the bar to another level for aspiring musicians...do what you do🤘(and stop with rush plz....they didn't write great songs and that matters)
Been here since first album, the evolution of these guys is fucking astronomical
@@mikeoxlong3421 criminally underrated
Spot on review in my opinion! I think MCID was a step out of their lane and I wish they would do a blues album as I think they’d kill it! Starting to sound stale at this point but Sooooooooooo talented!
😅Opinions are OK to have, but, "'best 3 piece rock band ever"' ?? Not even close. I am not a huge fan of Green Day... but they're a better band. Then there are others like, hmmm, Nirvana? Rush? Beastie Boys?
I'll give you an opinion-based comp. Stereophonics. Awesome 3 piece band, great music, underrated and underplayed. I love them. But, they're not the best ever.
@@rytas I didn’t mean to imply that I agreed with the best 3 piece band part! They are a real tight band that has run out of material that compares to their 1st 3 albums! Rush is hands down the BEST 3 piece band ever!
Does no one else see the other two just chilling in the back in the last half of the video? Like, "Hey, we're the other guys in the band, we're just gonna hang out over here while Johnny kills it." adorable.
watch Johnny's Gnarles Barkley Crazy Acoustic ✌
Littlewing 6was9 yesss love it
Samantha Williams Can't wait to see them again in Manchester in March & they announced a US tour yesterday ✌#MCID
The twins are indeed featuring, like how funny they are in the Gnarls Barkley's "crazy" cover #MCID
Always been my favorite part.
The shirts are on point as well, so appreciated
He just has this rasp of anguish in his voice that tugs at my heart
A real heart tugger in every way, that one.
I've listened this song a million times on repeat before but today, at this very moment, I finally HEARD it.
Stephanie Black amazing some people don’t know the difference
I list one to this song at least 5 times a day 😂😂
No you heard the song a million times but that day you actually listened to it.
Crazy live ..... By gnarls Barkley says it for me. Every word. Awesome song!
I really hope you're talking about it.
Those last few lines really get to me it's so beautiful:
I need you here.
I've tried and I'll try again.
You are my friend...
This is not the end.
me to !! its always those last few lines
I think it's a reference to Pink Floyd
how so? that's interesting
I thought that at first too because it sounded so familiar, but then it also sounds like a Mumford and Sons song - Sigh No More. The first three lines: Serve God, love me and mend
This is not the end
Lived unbruised, we are friends
Fat but it is the end
Acoustic version of this song is SO much better for some reason
agreed
deaconx it's all about preference
because acoustic has its own sole
for sure who woulda thought. wasn't expecting him to have this good of a voice
Brad McFelin ..,,soul
my favorite band..please let's keep this kind of music alive
Stephen Boyd absolutely
Absolutely
Stephen Boyd most definitely agreed
The guy no joke revived Rock for me
There is no stopping real music and artist! Don't ever worry about that!
I love hhow ryan and richard are just chilling in the back
By far the best voice I’ve ever heard from Johnny! This should be a mandatory acoustic at every concert. What do you guys think?!
It shouldn't be mandatory. Doing it at every show would ruin the heart and soul of it
Yes ! 💚 been to 4 shows still hoping one time to see that.. especially with this song. #MCID
Johnny Stevens is one of the most talented and true writer/ musician, and menber of one of thje best bands to rise in years.
I have super respect for front men who write, play, and sing with passion.
he's a gift from the music gods!!
Can we please have more acoustic versions? Serotonia acoustic?
Ettore Raimondi YES PLEASE
Ettore Raimondi agreed, that would be so dope. 🤘
There is a seretonia acoustic version from the very same shoot.
ua-cam.com/video/0CkbbZPh4Gc/v-deo.html
You're welcome
@@TurdFurgeson275 Thank you dearly
Oh Johnny, I never get tired of this song, love this version so much.
same
This version of this song is what stamped this band on my heart. The raw emotion that can be heard in all the acoustic & live videos gives me goosebumps everytime. Thank you. Much love
how does this song not have a million likes? Johnny is so good, this is better than the original.
4 years later and this is still so fucking beautiful. Absolutely surreal.
Finally good ol' rock music with great transitions, like three songs in one.
How can someone be so sexy and talented? He's not human.
I know right lol omg.
my name is human.
fuck I'm late for the joke
hahahahaha
Juliasbrain I met him lately in a bar after their concert and he is a very nice dude I'm SRSLY he is "just a human like we are" (his words)
The people who disliked couldn't figure it out
TheMixedBros 👏👏👏
I like it and I can’t figure it out
He had to write it down.
Highly Suspect and Royal Blood mash up. That would be something to see..
Suddenly Royal Blood
You bet - rock & roll is alive! I like his voice & he's a good guitar player. They have a big sound for only 3 guys.
+Tim Larson very under rated, i think these guys rock, wish i heard more of them on the radio
I did recently hear that their album, Mister Asylum, has been nominated for a grammy. I listen to an alternative station in St. Louis & if it wasn't for that station, I would have never learned about them.
Tim Larson same
what a voice! And such skill on the guitar, not to mention playing all that and singing at the same time. perfect.
You can heár Pain in his voice from his soul.
These guys are helping me get through a really rough time right now.
Same man, hope you’re doing well
Dean Kilminster hope you’re both better!
I'm doing better, things are still a little tough. but much better than it was.
🤡
In 2023 and just found out these guys maybe half a year ago and they are getting me through some dark shit too.
I listen to this song at least ten times a day, i still love it as much as the first time i listened to it!
Still? :)

JOHNNY STEVENS AND THE REST OF THE BAND, HIGHLY SUSPECT, ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! JOHNNY STEVENS IS TRULY TRULY TALENTED AND BLESSED!!! I SAW THEM IN CONCERT ON 12/14/15 AT JUANITA'S IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, AND THEY JAMMED THEIR ASSES OFF!!! GREAT CONCERT!!! I HAD A KICKASS TIME; ONE THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET!!!! THANK YOU GUYS!!!! WE ROCKED!!!!
I WAS THERE AND THEY FUCKING ROCKED THE PLACE,AND I WAS THE GIRL WHO CAUGHT JOHNNY'S GUITAR PICK
I was there too also back in last November! They are coming bacm
+Justin Duft they're coming back April 28th!!I'm so fucking excited!
+Justin Duft my friend Lauren (who's in a wheelchair) got the Patron bottle and got to meet Johnny after the show
+Livvy Luvbug Sick!
"I have tried but will try again" - I insta cry, I get it. I have picked up friends in bad places. I have been in the same myself. My best friend died 2 years ago, over dose.....I miss him.
Would be amazing to see them on NPR Tiny Desk
Can't you figure it out
Or do I have to write it down for you
I know what you're about
I'm not afraid to shut it down
Over and over and over and over again
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
Your vanity's so cold in my
Heart, soul, please, let go
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
I guess anything goes
When you're waiting for the one that you love
It's not ready
Hey, man, wouldn't you know?
That nobody should be waiting for love
(Why would you be waiting for love?)
Over and over and over and over again
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
Your vanity's so cold in my
Heart, soul, please, let go
Your vanity's so cold
(Your vanity's so cold)
And I've searched my soul for you today
But this feeling is getting old
It won't go away
I'm lost without you here
My love, it lays under the cornerstone
That the builder threw away
I've searched my soul
Nothing ever came
This feeling's getting old
Right back in the cold now
Right back into the cold, yeah
It's all I've ever known
All I've ever known, yeah
And I have searched my soul, yeah
For you, it's true
But nothing ever comes, alright
And I swear, I'm headed back to the other side, yeah
I can't sit around and watch us both die
Oh, no, I cannot watch us both die
Oh no, not I
You know I've got to try
I need you here
I've tried and I'll try again
You are my friend
This is not the end
Addiction of drugs is a heavy fight.ray from all hwhi fight for escape.
Thank God!!!!! Thank you for posting this!!! Trying to teach myself this version and I wanted the lyrics with the acoustic so I can learn and read visually! I know it's been forever since you posted this, but you frickin rock man! 🎸🤟🤍
But nothing ever comes out right...I swear I'm headed back to the other side ...I can't sit around and watch us both die...
Speaks to me
Thanks for posting the lyrics,this was really helpful in learning this song
I love his voice. He needs to put out an all acoustic album.
One of my absolute favorite bands. His voice is magical. The lyrics. The band. Everything is amazing ❤️❤️
"Can't watch you both die. You know I've gotta try"
So soulful. Love it
my favourite out off the debut LP, a very sincerely written song, gets me every time.
ever evolving structure of it musically is top notch
trip your way through life and climb the high road with bad ass tunes. awesome band.
I can see this band being the next Nirvana. Gives me hope that honest real music is on its way back
Charlie G I told my boys the same thing in my opinion best rock band since nirvana
Charlie G still a long way to go but these guys are unreal for sure.
waiting for the second album to see if they can keep it going before I could compare them them to nirvana
this is actually their second album. For some reason they basically deny the existence of their true debut album from 2010. The album was self titled and in my opinion fucking fantastic. Even better than mister asylum. The first album has more of a ska sound. Type "highly suspect Gang Lion" into the search and see if you agree.
I've been looking for a "hard" copy of their self titled album! It's so great!
Highly Suspect is so amazing that words cannot express how f*cking great they are. Johnny has such a breathtaking voice.
i’ve seen them
so many times it truly never gets old
This never gets old
This dude has all the chops.
Good thing I can Cook ;) Lamb-chop's Play-Along hahahahahahaha Oh Johnny LoL we need Spice & some... ;D :P !! -TheApsylum
#IAMCANADIAN
I had lost all interest in music until I was introduce to band. I can actually feel music again, I can feel it deep inside
My favorite singer of all time. Rough but awesome at the same time
Musical Inspiration at its finest. Thank Johnny if you ever see him.. for sharing his talent.
THIS IS PURE ART!! WHAT A VOICE, WHAT A TALENT!!!🔥
Absolutely love his voice
Dude this is one of my most favorite songs from highly suspect 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Awww Ryan just chilling in the back and watching his boi johnny killing it💖💖💖
Hate to say it but this version kick the original versions butt.
in love with his lyrics... his voice and guitar playing are a bonus.
He's putting the time in, and it's showing
This song reminds me so much of something my late friend would have written and performed. It's awesome. Last bit waters my eyes everytime.
Could this man be any sexier?? That voice, let alone how he looks. Damn.
HIGHLY SUSPECT CONCERT 2020 HOUSTON!! WHO ELSE??
Dudes got the chops to pull it off, love their sound, hoping for more from this band
Timing and flow are impressive. I love hearing different versions of songs especially when they are half this good! They should make an acoustic version of this album or of their favorite songs so far.
Love this band's music!!!❤TY❤
These guys are phenomenal live! I've never heard them acoustically...but it sounds great!
As a writer and player... This was very well done for what it is!
“I can’t sit by and watch us both die..” ugh he’s so amazing. I agree, we need more acoustic versions 🙌 this is so much better in my opinion than the studio. I literally tried listening to the studio after this and I couldn’t.
I’ve searched my soul today for you but nothing it’s getting old.

since when is having tattoos categorize an individual as being hipster?
Jules taylor so which of these definitions is he using in the song
@@darynicole7814 Probably the both. Most times when a person is vain, is in the both ways.
this is honestly so beautiful.
Johnny can play and sing.. feel it in my very soul.. goosebumps with everything f****** song 💯.. I'm newly sober 65 days and there music helped get me thru some of the worst times in my life. Thank you guys
Raw talent. love this band since I first heard one song. seeing them in May !!
Ive seen these guys twice so far, and am seeing them march 1 and 2. They rock a concert, and are such nice people. Totally love them and theyre crew #mcid!
Madison Moore what does mcid mean, I'm new and see it on all of their vids
mcid = My crew is dope ;)
You are really lucky to have seen them! Love Both Live with the Band ❤️ yet love the sound of
Acoustic guitar and singing from the ❤️✌️
Jesus Christ. Yes please and thank you.
Love this song and Johnny the singer, beautiful.❤
just heard these guys for the first time a couple of months ago. straight up addicted now
So in love with his voice
This song means so much to me. It explains me in a nutshell. VANITY. I have heard this is a good word but My vanity is falsified. there is no glory or beauty in a man who glorifies himself. Humble is the way I aim to be. this is not easy considering I have created this alter ego as a child to protect myself and guard my true feelings from being abandoned and neglected.
Excellent share & self-honesty & self-awareness
Seing them in about a week. I cannot wait. I love their music so much.
Absolutely the best music I've ever heard.
saw them live two days ago, absolutely incredible!!
Cool to see him in raw form.
I rarely comment but damn! Beautiful jam! ✌️🍄💚
wow,so good...fallen in love with this band...this song awesome,t.y.♡
😧 he should only be allowed to do acoustic ! Had no idea his voice is this beautiful 🤧
Real emotion. Real connection.
Highly Suspect makes magic. This guitarist is so damned good, it keeps surprising me. Every time I hear it, I'm flown away to auditory Utopia, and the shit's as gorgeous as it was the first time I took a cue from you tube, and listened. Glorious. Hosana. Hallelujah.
Amazing. I just want to hear more and more and more of Highly Suspect. One of the best bands around right now, no question
I feel like loving you and giving you a life time of devotion. so second that emotion.
I love you.
My soul..... everything they create is what I been searching going for my whole life...... so thankful
Love the transitions! I can relate this to me and best friend as well. Thank you Johnny.
2020 His voice is timeless
Chris is gone... I hope Johnny stays... We need some one that offers real expression... Please.. Please don't leave us HS..
Great song. Love this version.. been listening to it everyday for a while.
These guys rock, absolutely amazing. I've seen them twice already and can't wait until they come back to Boston. Rock will never die as long as we have bands like this.
This is so great.
He's the best musician! I'm so in love with his talent, his look and everything.
SO AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL!! Such talent! You’re one of a kind amazing. Keep singing. You touch lives, hearts 💕 & souls with your voice & music. Thanks
Touches and grabs the soul...
💔❤🎶
I Love his voice. Truth. I love it. No faking and or auto tune shit!
His voice come from heart.💜
getting alot of air play in new zealand. love the damaged rock n roll sound, feels like home x
kris west
it suicidal rock and soul
Suicidal rock?...get the fuck outta here, it's blues rock. Don't romanticize suicide.
Just finally got to see them in Seattle a few months ago. Great show. I yelled for canals to be played, and he actually looked at me and said 'cool', and played it. That was awesome.
One of the best Songs. Ever written... love hearing him sing it..😍😍💯💯❤❤❤❤
This just never gets old
Sprinko1
Could you imagine a Highly Suspect Unplugged? I need that now. An acoustic version of Wolf would kill me and send me to heaven.
King Miguel Imagine/foresee/desire/demand
King Miguel omg I never thought of that, thatd be so amazing
