IT'S 2020 AND I'M STILL PLAYING THIS... THIS COVER IS DEFINITELY THE BEST COVER I EVER SEEN. FROM HIS NICE SOUL HARMONIZING WITH AN ACCENT VOICE TO THE WHOLE BAND, THE PIANO PLAYER IS ILL WITH THEM FINGERS, SHORTY ON THE DRUMS NASTY WITH THEM STICKS, SHE'S A BEAST. THE WHOLE VIOLIN SQUAD ON POINT, CAN'T FORGET THE GUITARIST NICE ASF.... TRUTHFULLY I PROLLY PLAY THIS COVER MORE THEN THE ORIGINAL. GREAT JOB SID. WE NEED MORE OF THIS...!!! #2020
Listen to his recent Telugu film songs They are super duper hits.In Pushpa movie and Ala Vaikuntapuram lo movie,his songs are Classy and Melodious. 🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌👌Do hear them.He has got more hits in Telugu 😍😍
You fucking killed this song man. The original of this song was on repeat for a period of trying times in my life, so I feel like I have a particularly special connection to this song. It'll always be Weeknd's song, but I think you honestly do it better, and that's a big deal. Keep doing your thing man.
This is one of the most well produced covers I've ever heard. Those strings are powerful. The piano is so good, you'd swear he produced the original track. The drums and electric guitar (and bass) are leveled perfectly. I swear whoever mixed this, knew what the f**k they were doing. Ive been coming back to this for a decade now. Every few years, when i remember about it, it is brand new to me, all over again. This recording is special. I might be a little bias too. MSJ Class of 2001!
Remember when this first dropped back in 2011. Played it all day everyday for a while. But I know I'm not only one who thinks Sid bodied this better than The Weeknd. There's no expiration date on such a talented artist or musician. Their were many different nationalities in this musical experience and it was great. Good job sid great vocals.
Very chill. My favourite kind of male voice to listen to, actually. This gives it the kinda feeling that makes it imbued with SOUL. Plus, the music team and composers that arranged this really brought out the best in the voice.
Practice, lots and lots of practice. Trying different vocal techniques. I started singing when I was like 11... It's easy to sing before your nuts drop and your voice deepens lmao.
Jesus man, if only God had given me your voice... You are literally THE most talented singer I've ever heard in my life. And this has literally been my 4th comment.
Im speachless honestly, you give me goosebumps & I mean it. Make more covers please. You have the most amazing voice i will ever hear. The weeknd's my favorite too -xo
i ont like the original song, but i swear i could listen to this all day. the piano is such a powerful instrument. like when the piano's first couple chords were played, i was like ahh shyt, they bout to kill dhis. and sid u did just that. SOMEONE PLEASE SIGN THIS MAN, MATTER FACT THE WHOLE GROUP
The only cover I've heard that challenges the original.... in my opinion this rendition, the arrangement, vocals.... this shit is ridiculous! It's actually better....
Dude taht Somo guy is so overrated. he sings everything in the same key. His range is like one octave lol I don't get how he's so popualr. I think it's because his overall production game is tight. But i don't know if he makes the actual beats on his covers or not.
Amazing cover of an amazing song. The Weeknd is awesome already. I don't know what I am more impressed with. The fact you choose to cover the Weeknd or how well you sang it. Much respect on both.
I love it how sid sriram discovered Weeknds old music😀 in 2011
XO TWOD🇮🇳
@Flyingwiz sid sriram is an indian singer.thats why i mentioned that.

@Flyingwiz Im Am Indian. And I've Been Listening To Weeknd Since 2013. So Stfu Dumbass

I read the 1st part of your comment and was going to jump the gun and rip ya but i read the rest and thought id write a comment anyways lol. Peace man

Incredible cover brother, 10 years later it’s still unmatached!!
Been listening to this same song since it dropped in '11 . Definitely a great artist.
anyone that can pull of one the weeknds song...i have major respect for you.
Remember when this first dropped back in 2011. Played it all day everyday for a while. But I know I'm not only one who thinks Sid bodied this better than The Weeknd. There's no expiration date on such a talented artist or musician. Their were many different nationalities in this musical experience and it was great. Good job sid great vocals.
Best version of this song still to this day!
😂
Got the chills as soon as the piano started... and his voice? WOW. speechless.
The arrangement bruh!!! That's what got me! Great cover!
50 dislikes? I guess 50 people don't know what real music sounds like. So talented.
Unnoda amma punda
Beautiful and smooth. The pianist is sick too and the drums. Great vibe
Very chill. My favourite kind of male voice to listen to, actually. This gives it the kinda feeling that makes it imbued with SOUL. Plus, the music team and composers that arranged this really brought out the best in the voice.
Sid Sriram bro, 4 years ago you put me on this weeknd joint; still sounds soul amazing ;]
how the fuck do people sing like this? I sound like roadkill singing his dying words man
Practice, lots and lots of practice. Trying different vocal techniques. I started singing when I was like 11... It's easy to sing before your nuts drop and your voice deepens lmao.
i love love love that there is a live band !! way to bring it back . !! omg ! much respect
Awesome...a great group of musicians as well! I'd pay to see that live.

You are amazing. Your voice is super dope and ur music is great. You are better than most artist on the radio
The fact that there is a toss up between his cover and the original just shows how good he is
Nice use of yeezy's Dark Fantasy at 3:19

Amazing, live band with your voice makes this cover so unique!
Sir please change settings sir downloaded free places change sir I downloaded ur videos please sid Sriram sir

Your voice is amazing OMG!! And you're singing one of my favorite artists of all time.
all i can say is damn. vocals on point son. and i love the "can we get much higher" at the end
why dont you post telugu songs
The only cover I've heard that challenges the original.... in my opinion this rendition, the arrangement, vocals.... this shit is ridiculous! It's actually better....
Get real
NESTOR THEPROTESTOR lvjz
hahahaha, did we just listen to the same thing? don't even ..
XOTWOD
Nah
Nah
Very very well done. I like the jazzy vibe and the respect you showed.
U sound so good..! Ur voice is just beautiful..!
Way better than Somo actually
Dude taht Somo guy is so overrated. he sings everything in the same key. His range is like one octave lol I don't get how he's so popualr. I think it's because his overall production game is tight. But i don't know if he makes the actual beats on his covers or not.
Cooking with j. Philly
@Joey16Phresh -_- :-)
you have a beautiful voiceee ! wowwww! would love to see more Weeknd type of songs by youuu :)
Amazing cover of an amazing song. The Weeknd is awesome already. I don't know what I am more impressed with. The fact you choose to cover the Weeknd or how well you sang it. Much respect on both.
Abel can sing but my dude you got as much talent as him and if anything you have more . Keep going .
This guy is good but he's nowhere near The Weeknd's level.
