I know this was meant as a joke, but you have no idea what this song means to me. My dad, he was a big fan of Creed, and I'd love jamming to this with him. Cancer took him around 5 or 6 years ago, and I had to bite back tears on the way home from work after playing this and getting part way in. I thought I was done shedding tears over the man, but I guess not yet! I was tempted to pull over and just feel it, but instead I detoured to a church's brick mailbox I helped him build when I was young. It's been like a gravestone for him in my eyes since I didn't feel fully welcome with the rest of the family at the scattering of his ashes. I wish he were still here to see how far I've built my life in the relatively short time he's been gone. I wish he could still look me in the eyes and tell me how proud he is of me, moving past mistakes and growing in spite of them. But keeping to more grounded wants and wishes, it still felt so good to stop by and play it for him, cause I know he would have loved it. Maybe me checking back on you after not paying attention for a while and finding this song was a way that God let him tell me what needed to be said. I just want you to know the good you did. You blessed me far more than what you may have intended for anyone, Colm. And who knows how many others? I pray you receive blessings to match and exceed.
This is the last thing I expected but I got the biggest, stupidest smile on my face right now. One of my favorite songs from my all-time favorite artist! Feeling extra handsome right now 😎😎😎
Man I thought we weren’t gonna get the fray scream…was gonna be super sad. Then he gives it to us right at the end! PERFECTION!! (Now for the love of Ireland sing FOUR GREEN FIELDS!!) ❤
This song was one of a few good things for me in some really bad teen years. As per usual, in my opinion, your covers become the best versions. Thank you for this excellent resurrection of something meaningful
Colm, i have to say that you brought me to tears yet again. This song was one of the lights in a very dark time for me, and you have done more than give it justice. Thank you for sharing your immense talent with us, and for bringing a little bit more light back into my life. I love you, brother.
God f***ing dammit. You got me. For over two minutes I was going "I am pretty sure this is a Creed song, WTF?" then it clicked and you got a "f*** you" out of me. Well played sir, I respect your game.
Wow, how you squeezing that voice chords to sound almost exactly like original. Many details included and well performed makes it even more accurate. It's that moment when you realize this is one of the 5% or less voices to which your natural voice with just little modulation fits almost perfectly.
You know I used to like this song...when it came out and I was 13. When our dreams are better then our lives its easy to relate to. I've always had vivid dreams. My dreams never had golden streets though. It was never about wealth. But having companionship and finding a place I felt safe. In one of my happiest ones I was living in a house with a leaky roof, with elderly parents, sleeping in a warm comfortable bed beside a chasm, with a man who had finally told me 'I was his love'. I got emotional and told him he didn't have to force himself to say that. I just didn't want to lose him. In the awkwardness I tripped and nearly fell over the chasm. He saved me from falling and told me, not to die once we'd finally found each other. It was a simple and beautiful dream.
I was so pumped, then confused. I'm just glad it wasn't a Rick roll XD Not what I was expecting, but yeah totally have a goofy grin on my face taking a nostalgia trip. Best April Fools' video I've seen in a long time. Totally digging the harmonies.
When this originally dropped, I clicked on it thinking "meh, another My Mother Told Me cover, might as well listen..." followed by "ah, an April Fool's joke! Wait, I know that opening... HOLY CRAP this is going to be EPIC!"
Both great songs. I can't be disappointed by such a banger. I hope we'll get more rock covers from you in the near future! You have such range. I'm continually surprised by each new genre you conquer.
...and Colm demonstrates that he can improve on any song, no matter what he's starting from! Seriously, though, this song got so much airplay when I was younger, and I have a lot of nostalgia tied to it; so this was actually really cool to hear, and it's an absolutely fantastic cover. Hard to ask for more than that from an April Fool's prank!
Is this not the Assassin’s CREED we were all talking about?
What should I sing next?
Stay very handsome?
Rasputin by Boney M
Rick Roll us daddy
You should do For the Dancing and the Dreaming! It$ the song Stoic sings to his wife in How To Train Your Dragon 2.
Could you do Iron by Woodkid?
The first would have been nice, but oh boy... The second holds so many memories .🎶👏
This is the best cover version out of all the cover versions, Colm. Well done 10/10
I'm debating if it's as good as the original or even better
bester than voiceplay?
@@CCFideldi watch the video homie
Hook, Line, and Sinker!
Praise from Caesar.
That’s what I really love about colm he’s never going to give us up, never gonna let us down, never gonna run around, or desert us
Finally! An April Fool’s gag I approve of!

Even better than I expected. Thank you for raising the bar "Higher"
You all laugh, but this is a legit great cover. Makes me wanna see Colm do more songs of this genre, maybe Push by Matchbox Twenty?
Agreed. This is such a cozy throwback song for me (born '88 in midwest US) ✌️
@@objectreborn.artsewing Oh, my gawds... you're a baby!!! I graduated high school before you were born! 😢
Ya got great taste, kid... 😉
Agreed a great song no matter what also im not too far from you if im being honest, im just a regular 90's baby😂😂
This is the last thing I expected but I got the biggest, stupidest smile on my face right now. One of my favorite songs from my all-time favorite artist! Feeling extra handsome right now 😎😎😎
Honestly same
Same!
You ain't the only one lol
Well done, Colm, now I’m still waiting for when you’ll actually do a cover of Valhalla Calling
Unironically wanted this. Solid Scott Stapp impression
YES VALHALLA!!!!!!!!
15 SEC LATER : WAIT WHAT???
30 SEC LATER : HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!
Saaaame!!!
Gawd! I had that same brain bubble!! Perfect!!😂
I mean I can’t even be mad because I love Creed and I love this song. It makes me think of my childhood and this cover sounds so good
The Titan A.E. nostalgia is strong with this one. 💠🌏💥🚀
That’s honestly were I first heard this song so same
I love that it wasn't even in the movie, but it made that trailer awesome.
Man I thought we weren’t gonna get the fray scream…was gonna be super sad. Then he gives it to us right at the end! PERFECTION!!
(Now for the love of Ireland sing FOUR GREEN FIELDS!!)
❤
I see Colm is just out here on a walk with us all down Nostalgia St. 😅
I really hope this makes it to spotify, it hits all those nostalgia buttons!
Oh, I quite agree with you
I was just about to ask
My expectations were subverted but certainly not let down.🤘
I was really excited before i clicked and i am even better afterwards
Can’t even be mad! This is great!
Agreed
BABE NOT NOW COLM MCGUINNESS JUST POSTED🗣️‼️🔥
Straight up the conversation i just had with my 5 year old wanting to go to the hotels pool
this is SICK! classic song and you even nailed the accent!
This song was one of a few good things for me in some really bad teen years. As per usual, in my opinion, your covers become the best versions.
Thank you for this excellent resurrection of something meaningful
Ok i love this song, i love Creed, the scream at the end absolutely sealed it for me
Colm doing Creed is one of those things that seems so obvious once somebody points it out. Spectacular!
Colm, i have to say that you brought me to tears yet again.
This song was one of the lights in a very dark time for me, and you have done more than give it justice.
Thank you for sharing your immense talent with us, and for bringing a little bit more light back into my life. I love you, brother.
Jokes on all of us, this song slaps. Killer audio mix too! The lows are powerful and that kick drum and snare are perfect!
oh hell yeah!! let's GOOOOOO. april fool's joke or not, this cover is sick af
I was half expecting this to be Wonderwall and I can't decide if I'm disappointed that it isn't now
i clicked on this and said to myself "i hope he does the creed accent, he has to, he must"
AND YOU DELIVERED
good on you brother man
This dropped me right back into high school...
OMG YES!!! The most nostalgic song ever!!! 😂❤️🔥
i was not expecting the harsh vocal at the end. god damn!
We've been bamboozled😂 Epic cover though 👏👏
You monster😢 I've been waiting for an Old Norse cover of Valhalla calling for years
You really understood the nuances of the song. I feel like I've heard it in an entirely new light.
Okay I still really badly want you to actually do vahalla calling but this was FUCKING AWSOME
Amazing, absolute fire. Thank you
I was actually hyped for a Valhalla calling cover
God f***ing dammit. You got me. For over two minutes I was going "I am pretty sure this is a Creed song, WTF?" then it clicked and you got a "f*** you" out of me. Well played sir, I respect your game.
Still though, damn good cover. Creed are one of my guilty pleasures.
Dear lord, what a banger. And that scream at the end!? What on earth??? Holy guacamole
I love how this still feels like the original Creed Song yet with your unique vocals and sound. Great vid as always!!
This takes me back to the original. You hit me in all the feels. I don't think I have ever heard an equivalent cover version.
I felt myself being transported back to the 90’s at the sound of one of my favourite songs. Those were good years. 🥹 Thank you. ❤️
this mans voice is amazing, the range he has is outstanding so in love with his voice, you make Ireland proud son thank you
Came for Valhalla stayed for the nostalgia
As always, wonderful job.
Thats how aprils fools should be. Funny, Nobody hurt, nothing broken, everyone amused, everyone appreciates.
Have a nice day y'all
Yessss
Wow, how you squeezing that voice chords to sound almost exactly like original. Many details included and well performed makes it even more accurate. It's that moment when you realize this is one of the 5% or less voices to which your natural voice with just little modulation fits almost perfectly.
Damn you! I was looking forward to the song and got… an amazing song!
Man, i was really hoping for it.
Same

This is glorious. Irony is entirely superfluous here. Gorgeous.
The talent that comes out of your face is mind blowing!
I was so pumped, then confused. I'm just glad it wasn't a Rick roll XD
Not what I was expecting, but yeah totally have a goofy grin on my face taking a nostalgia trip. Best April Fools' video I've seen in a long time. Totally digging the harmonies.
This is even better than I expected, you managed to give "Valhalla Calling" a whole new spin, great job.
😂
Listening for the first time at work and completely forgot I was listening to you singing.
Absolutely awesome job sir.
Love this!! But man, I was so looking forward to hearing “Valhalla Calling Me”!! You got me!!
That was good. I didn't expect that.
Bruh......
Honestly, I'm not mad. This was still awesome!
Dang it Colm! I arrange your work alphabetically in my playlist, where do I put this???
Wow, it's been a long time since I heard this song. Man, this is so good!
Perfect voice for this genre
When this originally dropped, I clicked on it thinking "meh, another My Mother Told Me cover, might as well listen..." followed by "ah, an April Fool's joke! Wait, I know that opening... HOLY CRAP this is going to be EPIC!"
I almost fell out of my chair the moment the intro to the song started I've always adored this song! Great work as always!
Okay, for real, I want to see this.
April Fool's gag from Colm, and the annual video from LockPickingLawyer earlier today. Been a really good day today.
Gotta love the 36” King Dick. Proving that, sometimes, size really does matter.
Both great songs. I can't be disappointed by such a banger. I hope we'll get more rock covers from you in the near future! You have such range. I'm continually surprised by each new genre you conquer.
I don't have words to describe how amazing this is!
Did a double take at the start. Then it was like hey, this is really good.
Nice. You did a great job with one of my favorite songs.
Wonderful cover of this song keep up the amazing videos coming I love this cread song
This is perfect. I like both songs
UA-cam has betrayed me. How did I not know this came out 5 days ago. Thank you Colm. This is fantastic
You hit this one out the park!
I really hope he retitles this soon so I can find it. This is one of his best covers.
Another video?! After just 3 days. You're spoiling us, Colm, and I am loving it! ❤
Nice twist ;)
Getting taken high up to Valhalla by the Valkyries in this cover. Good job!
Man this takes me back. I freaking love it!
Well I’ve been listening to creed for two days straight now 🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely freaking amazing!!!!! LOVE THIS ❤❤❤❤
Best April Fool's joke I've ever heard! Absolutely wonderful, Colm!
Colm...?
Punching in a Dream by The Young and Famous.
Trust me...💥💥💥
...and Colm demonstrates that he can improve on any song, no matter what he's starting from!
Seriously, though, this song got so much airplay when I was younger, and I have a lot of nostalgia tied to it; so this was actually really cool to hear, and it's an absolutely fantastic cover. Hard to ask for more than that from an April Fool's prank!
That’s a throw back! Wow!
This is genuinely the best cover of any song I have ever heard. Thank you for this.
I literally bought youtube premium so I could listen to this on repeat without ads.
A very, very talented young man! I thoroughly enjoy 😅your covers and only wish I had half your talent!!
Brat! LOL I was excited for it! LMFAO but you still did an amazing song! ❤🔥
Reminds me of the OG days as in way back Nirvana Heart-Shaped Box days...... I love it🫶
Oh the end caught me off guard! Yes! Beautiful!
Loved the joke, but in all reality, amazing cover! Threw me right back to my younger days 🤙🏻
Were we just Creed(Rick)-Rolled?!
Very well done, sir. More clever than a Rockroll, and works well as a pun!
YASSS!!!!!!! Best surprise ever!!!! Back to my youth :)
Very handsomely done!
Now I want him to cover so many more Creed songs. My Own Prison, Weathered, One, One Last Breath, and My Sacrifice to name a few.
That would be epic. My own prison was my jam as a kid
If you covered more creed i might litterally melt. That was one of the best songs i’ve heard.
YOU got me there, did not expect that to happen LMAO!!
That sounded like hard work...Nice! 😍
HE FINALLY DID IT
Oh man, this is so good it’s going on my playlist for sure!
This is so much better than expected!
