My little brother Daniel I love u and am so sorry I couldn’t carry you threw the hurt and pain u went threw before you took your life. I wish our shoes where switched in a heart beat just to allow your heart to beat one more time... I love you and miss you so much my brother
OMG I’m so sorry..God bless you Daniel you’re the star in the face of the sky🎻... I just lost 3 people I dearly loved..the pain is crippling..I just hope that feeling like a wounded deer will pass soon for me and you...
His spirit knows you would. I’m thinking of you, Scott. Keep talking to him. He’s at peace and free now. Don’t believe anything different and live well for him and for you. ✌🏽 💜
This just choked me up..I lost my Mom on December 1, 2020 and it completely broke my heart. She was only 71. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom. It's a pain like no other..I miss mine every single day.. ❤️🥺
I can never get enough of the rasp in Brett's voice and the true emotion the way he sings this cover. It just gets my heart pounding so much!! Daniel is a star in the sky!! He sure is!! I miss him so much! I truly think this is the best cover ever!!
I just want to say.. I saw fuel at Nashville City Winery the other day. I've always been a huge fan but when I heard Brett Scallions sing live, it changed my life forever. This cover is so amazing. I play it over and over. It gives me goosebumps.
This is the exact way they sung this at Common Ground in Michigan many a many years ago. I remember it clearly & the feeling of awe that took over me that night while this song was being played, for years I've thought about that & how much I wish cell phones would have been out back then to captured that moment! Fast forward over 15years & I come across this! My life is complete! Lol. Thanks for posting. ❤🤘🎶
I was in the Navy stationed in Italy 95 and had a stillborn named Nathaniel James and flew back to states without him for 2 months so this is our song forever!!!!
Brett w fuel and Elton John are both amazing in thier own ways. the cover is in my opinion AMAZING seen Brett and fuel live once, and I wish I had the chance to see them do this song. Fuel is a great band, and obviously Elton John has earned his stripes. Fuel does a great job with the replication. love fuel, and elton
You really can't compare Elton John and Brett Scallions. Two different vocalists with two very amazing voices. When you know a vocalist has nailed a cover, is when you feel the same as you do when you hear the original. This song gives you just that.
Thank you for the upload. Not able to keep track of how many times I've listened and watched this video . I think I'm obsessed with Brett's version of Daniel, specifically this performance. The passion was everywhere, perfect for his voice. No offense but I actually prefer Brett's cover to the original by EJ.
Powerful. This is one of my favorite Elton songs, and this version is a great interpretation of the original. I think you captured and expressed a lot of what he probably felt at the time.
I tell you at first I was like (subconsciously: What is this!) then when his voice came to I was BLOWN AWAY! This guy has a voice that is so memorizing! Man~! I wonder why he doesnt do his hair like that video Had a Bad day. Girls were freaking out over him....
Years on the road. Voice trashed, but the spirit is there. Such feel. Every note hit. Best cover version I've ever seen oh oh and.... As a vocalist, it hurts so good. My wife and I come home after gigs just to re-listen. Great job. If you ever need a bass player, let me know. JAM-out
my stepdad is my childhood bully but one thing he did that was cool was to learn this guitar because he knew I liked this cover and he liked the original and the cover (15 years ago) we jammed it one or twice and it wasn’t great but I felt like I had a dad for a bit doing it. When he dies I’ll sing this at his funeral.
@A1Steaksauces sorry but his voice wasnt even near being trashed here, that roughness in his voice is the way it always was, he can control that by the way. He didnt have problems with his voice until 2003 when he had that accident onstage with carl. His voice today is slowely getting better and better, when I saw them last july he was amazing, not one flaw.
i have enjoyed this song since i got it from limewire way back in the day. but watching this i just realized he says eyes have 'lied' instead of 'died'. it shows two things: 1. brett did not bother to check the lyrics of a favorite song this would not really be a big deal, except... 2. that single word is the defining meaning of the song: from wiki: Bernie Taupin wrote "Daniel" while inspired by the events of the Vietnam War. The lyrics (including a verse in the original draft that was cut from the final version) describe a fictional veteran who was blinded as a result of the war ("your eyes have died"/"but you see more than I") and travels to Spain to escape those around him back home ("do you still feel the pain"/"of the scars that won't heal?"), including his brother, from whose point of view the story is told.[5] "'Daniel' had been the most misinterpreted song that we'd ever written," explained Taupin, in the Two Rooms tribute project. "The story was about a guy that went back to a small town in Texas, returning from the Vietnam War. They'd lauded him when he came home and treated him like a hero. But, he just wanted to go home, go back to the farm, and try to get back to the life that he'd led before. I wanted to write something that was sympathetic to the people that came home." so clearly brett does not know the history of the song. someone should really tell him this. it distracts me now.
Just because someone doesn't know the full meaning of their favorite song doesn't mean it's not their favorite song. I get what your saying, but it doesn't mean that he is lying about it being his favorite song tho
@bobhoffnee it is, I have never said that a cover of a song is better than the original, but in this case it is. No offence to eltons version, the original is amazing but i find bretts version better, its fine if you disagree but thats just my opinion.
Bretts voice now-a-days can't hit high notes too well. However, on songs like shimmer, he sounds almost as he did years ago. I wouldn't be surprised to see Brett pull this song out of his vault sometime soon. I think he can still sing these types of songs pretty well. It's just on songs like "Hemorrhage" that he suffers.
very few covers beat an original, but i have to sya this one does. Brett's voice is amazing! one of the best rock voices i have ever heard. He was fuel and when he left that was the end for them really, I feel for Toryn Green how he had to replace the irreplaceable bu they are not the same band today as they were when Brett was still there
I played this song in 2003 at my son’s funeral. He loved this song.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
😭😭😭
I am truly sorry for your loss
❤❤❤
It is such a beautiful song, I'm so sorry you had to play it for that occasion though.
My little brother Daniel I love u and am so sorry I couldn’t carry you threw the hurt and pain u went threw before you took your life. I wish our shoes where switched in a heart beat just to allow your heart to beat one more time... I love you and miss you so much my brother
Sorry to hear man, thoughts with ya❤️
OMG I’m so sorry..God bless you Daniel you’re the star in the face of the sky🎻... I just lost 3 people I dearly loved..the pain is crippling..I just hope that feeling like a wounded deer will pass soon for me and you...
Love ya brother
His spirit knows you would. I’m thinking of you, Scott. Keep talking to him. He’s at peace and free now. Don’t believe anything different and live well for him and for you. ✌🏽 💜
My name's Daniel, I have an older brother, and I've been struggling with my mental health for years. This hit me hard. I'm so sorry.
This is classic Brett. Really doesn't matter what song it is, if he feels it, it sounds like THIS. Beat Frontman EVER.❤
My absolute favorite cover of this song. He just killed it! Amazing job!
This is one of my favorite songs/covers of all time. He not only does the song justice, he improves it with passion.
This song has always made me cry. My mom died recently and now it’s even harder. He sings exactly how one feels with these words.
It’s a beautiful song. I’m so sorry Alexis. I hope this song brings you connection and catharsis. You aren’t alone. 💜
This just choked me up..I lost my Mom on December 1, 2020 and it completely broke my heart. She was only 71. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom. It's a pain like no other..I miss mine every single day..
❤️🥺
@@K3lB3l ~
I'm so sorry..
I can't even imagine..
My mom is my best friend,
she's 87..
Please remember that people care..❤
I lost my older brother Daniel to addiction. I cannot hear this song without bawling
I will always hold you in my heart forever. I will carry us both my brother. Dan schiller Rest In Peace
his version always makes me cry.brett nails it in his own way
I can never get enough of the rasp in Brett's voice and the true emotion the way he sings this cover. It just gets my heart pounding so much!!
Daniel is a star in the sky!!
He sure is!! I miss him so much!
I truly think this is the best cover ever!!
This is beyond words, one of the best live performances I have ever seen, and I don't particularly like Fuel or Elton John.
I just want to say.. I saw fuel at Nashville City Winery the other day. I've always been a huge fan but when I heard Brett Scallions sing live, it changed my life forever. This cover is so amazing. I play it over and over. It gives me goosebumps.

OMG I love this video! The last person who had it took it down and I was so sad! Thanks for posting!!!!
One of my favorite songs & my favorite cover of it EVER! I can never listen to this song less than 10 times in a row.
Excellent rendition of one of my favorite songs in my universe. You nailed it Brett! Wow..
One of the best acoustic covers of all time imo
I love Elton John and I think that he did this song justice. Great Job!!
Remember getting this song back in 05 and playing it on repeat in the car. Buddy and I singing our hearts out. What a tune
This is gold! Amazing job Brett.
FUCKING AMAZING
My brother Daniel Taylor. Rip. Forever missed.
Amazing! Love how he puts emotion to this song. Brett has the most unique voice ever. Love his voice! He rocks!
I still find myself playing this over and over
I saw this years ago but it still Floors me. Xo
Love this song. Such amazing lyrics and very well covered. My big brother introduced this song to me and played it so much ever since.
I was in the Navy stationed in Italy 95 and had a stillborn named Nathaniel James and flew back to states without him for 2 months so this is our song forever!!!!
Brett w fuel and Elton John are both amazing in thier own ways. the cover is in my opinion AMAZING seen Brett and fuel live once, and I wish I had the chance to see them do this song. Fuel is a great band, and obviously Elton John has earned his stripes. Fuel does a great job with the replication. love fuel, and elton
My favorite cover! He gives it so much emotion 😆
This cover is so badass his voice is killer.FUEL is good
You really can't compare Elton John and Brett Scallions. Two different vocalists with two very amazing voices. When you know a vocalist has nailed a cover, is when you feel the same as you do when you hear the original. This song gives you just that.
This is up there with Chris Cornells cover of "Nothing Compares" as my favorite grunge covers
Thank you for the upload. Not able to keep track of how many times I've listened and watched this video . I think I'm obsessed with Brett's version of Daniel, specifically this performance. The passion was everywhere, perfect for his voice. No offense but I actually prefer Brett's cover to the original by EJ.
This is amazing. The power in his voice back then was untouchable. His voice is kinda like Adam of 3DG. Unique.
when an artist pours his heart and soul into a song
Powerful. This is one of my favorite Elton songs, and this version is a great interpretation of the original. I think you captured and expressed a lot of what he probably felt at the time.
This song makes me miss my best friend. Daniel Stephens.
I’d love this version on Spotify
I totally agree with ethanhawk, never heard a remake sound better than original singer!!! Love the way he signs, puts his heart and soul in his music.
Wife and I are sitting here listening again.....Brett Rocks! Miss him with Fuel. Peace:)
ive had this mp3 for years, just now watching the video for the 1st time.
same
I tell you at first I was like (subconsciously: What is this!) then when his voice came to I was BLOWN AWAY! This guy has a voice that is so memorizing! Man~! I wonder why he doesnt do his hair like that video Had a Bad day. Girls were freaking out over him....
Simplesmente magnifico....the best.....my favorite....very good!!!!
Years on the road. Voice trashed, but the spirit is there. Such feel. Every note hit. Best cover version I've ever seen oh oh and.... As a vocalist, it hurts so good. My wife and I come home after gigs just to re-listen. Great job. If you ever need a bass player, let me know.
JAM-out
My favorite cover ever!!
this song keep me going through some bad times
my stepdad is my childhood bully but one thing he did that was cool was to learn this guitar because he knew I liked this cover and he liked the original and the cover (15 years ago) we jammed it one or twice and it wasn’t great but I felt like I had a dad for a bit doing it. When he dies I’ll sing this at his funeral.
i listen to this almost every day in my car
Great Song covered by a awesome band! Brett Scallions did the song true justice and I prefer his cover over the original!
Times change. Tastes change. Love this cover
One of the best song from this band, you know. (Una rola muy chingona).
Perfect! Tks
Anyway to get this louder and more cleaner?
Well I said: Very good .. I love this song .. Brett sings very well.
Written in Portuguese because I don`t speak very good English.!
Damn I still get goosies every time!! 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this
@jamjammerjam
uhh his voice is definitely not trashed, saw him live just 3 months ago, still amazing. and your right, this is the best cover, love it.
The acoustic guitar really compliments the sorrow of this song. I find it better and sadder than Elton Johns.
awesome! I mean this cover is better than the original... Just love the this cover!
Thanks for uploading!
i love this song.
It I think this may be the best song I've ever heard
i love this song long live tau gamma phi
Nailed it!
i love it so much
Still lovin it
Ouch, tough words there, man. I definitely respect Elton John as a musician and a songwriter, but I think this time the cover surpasses the original.
Spenser Zimmermann your opinion though
Nah
Faith no more doing easy now that was a cover that would be right up there with the original
Sam smiths was better than the original this is great but not as good as the original
awsome version anything he sings is awsome sick vocals
Right fkn on mr.scallions 👍👏👏
you do realize he is back right, and they do have an album coming out. 2 actually
Daniel my grandson friend
Acoustic electric guitar sound has gottn a lot better since then.
Damn bro.
beautiful cover...
Anyone know what kind of guitar that is? Or what kind of guitar this song was recorded with?
best cover so far...
i don't really like covers either, but i love bett scallions and everything he does!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a really good rendition.
Sweet. Ness.
@A1Steaksauces

i have enjoyed this song since i got it from limewire way back in the day.
but watching this i just realized he says eyes have 'lied' instead of 'died'.
it shows two things:
1. brett did not bother to check the lyrics of a favorite song
this would not really be a big deal, except...
2. that single word is the defining meaning of the song:
from wiki:

so clearly brett does not know the history of the song. someone should really tell him this. it distracts me now.
but it is still a great cover as he makes it his own.
Just because someone doesn't know the full meaning of their favorite song doesn't mean it's not their favorite song. I get what your saying, but it doesn't mean that he is lying about it being his favorite song tho
I would assume he changed it for his own personal reasons. It's obvious that's what Elton is singing so it's not as if he misheard it.
your heavy voice rocks
@bobhoffnee
it is, I have never said that a cover of a song is better than the original, but in this case it is. No offence to eltons version, the original is amazing but i find bretts version better, its fine if you disagree but thats just my opinion.
@jmewho
yes he does, along with new songs that him and the band has been writing.
LONG LIVE TAU GAMMA PHI
I agree i am a huge elton fan but this guy kicked ass with his version
wow!
Awesome cover!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect cover!
Fuckin awesome cover

Sarah you still out there?
Brilliant

kickass job !!!!
Awsome
My use only!
Wow👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😕
You touched me wohhhh
