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
I struggled for a long time liken your voice to anything I had heard before but knew I had heard something similar before. It has all come together in my head now.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!"
Very well done!!! Your guitar work was perfect and your voice fits with the song very well! If I closed my eyes I could trick my brain into thinking I was listening to the original. Great job!
Uh, you might consider this a joke, but now I want an entire alt rock or whatever you wanna call this album. Holy crap, you sound fantastic in this genre!
...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!
Oh my God, this is amazing. I love Creed, and I love Colm McGuinness so this is perfect! Its been rough recently so I don't think this could've come out at a better time. Please keep making amazing music!
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.
Finally! An April Fool’s gag I approve of!
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
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😂😂

Honestly same
Same!
You ain't the only one lol
YES VALHALLA!!!!!!!!
15 SEC LATER : WAIT WHAT???
30 SEC LATER : HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!
Saaaame!!!
Gawd! I had that same brain bubble!! Perfect!!😂
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
I see Colm is just out here on a walk with us all down Nostalgia St. 😅
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
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
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 was really excited before i clicked and i am even better afterwards
this is SICK! classic song and you even nailed the accent!
My expectations were subverted but certainly not let down.🤘
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
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
Can’t even be mad! This is great!
Agreed
Say what you want about Creed, but Colm covering Creed and frying part of the last line... perfection. And he looked handsome doing it.
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.
oh hell yeah!! let's GOOOOOO. april fool's joke or not, this cover is sick af
I struggled for a long time liken your voice to anything I had heard before but knew I had heard something similar before. It has all come together in my head now.
We've been bamboozled😂 Epic cover though 👏👏
Colm doing Creed is one of those things that seems so obvious once somebody points it out. Spectacular!
This is even better than I expected, you managed to give "Valhalla Calling" a whole new spin, great job.
😂
You monster😢 I've been waiting for an Old Norse cover of Valhalla calling for years
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.
i was not expecting the harsh vocal at the end. god damn!
The talent that comes out of your face is mind blowing!
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.
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'.

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.
You really understood the nuances of the song. I feel like I've heard it in an entirely new light.
Ok i love this song, i love Creed, the scream at the end absolutely sealed it for me
Dear lord, what a banger. And that scream at the end!? What on earth??? Holy guacamole
this mans voice is amazing, the range he has is outstanding so in love with his voice, you make Ireland proud son thank you
OMG YES!!! The most nostalgic song ever!!! 😂❤️🔥
I love how this still feels like the original Creed Song yet with your unique vocals and sound. Great vid as always!!
I was half expecting this to be Wonderwall and I can't decide if I'm disappointed that it isn't now
Listening for the first time at work and completely forgot I was listening to you singing.
Absolutely awesome job sir.
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. ❤️
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.
Perfect voice for this genre
This dropped me right back into high school...
April Fool's gag from Colm, and the annual video from LockPickingLawyer earlier today. Been a really good day today.
This brought me back to the year 2001, when the youth used the song in a worship service.
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!
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.
Jokes on all of us, this song slaps. Killer audio mix too! The lows are powerful and that kick drum and snare are perfect!
This is glorious. Irony is entirely superfluous here. Gorgeous.
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.
I was actually hyped for a Valhalla calling cover
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
If you covered more creed i might litterally melt. That was one of the best songs i’ve heard.
Oh man, this is so good it’s going on my playlist for sure!
YOU got me there, did not expect that to happen LMAO!!
Amazing, absolute fire. Thank you
Damn you! I was looking forward to the song and got… an amazing song!
I don't have words to describe how amazing this is!
Love this!! But man, I was so looking forward to hearing “Valhalla Calling Me”!! You got me!!
Wonderful cover of this song keep up the amazing videos coming I love this cread song
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.
Nice. You did a great job with one of my favorite songs.
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!
Brat! LOL I was excited for it! LMFAO but you still did an amazing song! ❤🔥
Very well done, sir. More clever than a Rockroll, and works well as a pun!
Best April Fool's joke I've ever heard! Absolutely wonderful, Colm!
LOVE IT!!! I'd love to hear your take on "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" like in the movie 1917.
Another video?! After just 3 days. You're spoiling us, Colm, and I am loving it! ❤
Nice twist ;)
YASSS!!!!!!! Best surprise ever!!!! Back to my youth :)
Very handsomely done!
Oh wow, I love Creed and this cover of their song is amazing.
Joke aside, this is a phenomenal cover! Your voice is perfect for this song!
I was a big Creed fan back in the days, and this made me so happy! 😁 🤘
Man this takes me back. I freaking love it!
Well I’ve been listening to creed for two days straight now 🎉🎉🎉
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!"
Very well done!!! Your guitar work was perfect and your voice fits with the song very well!
If I closed my eyes I could trick my brain into thinking I was listening to the original. Great job!
Absolutely fantastic!! ❤❤❤❤
Oh the end caught me off guard! Yes! Beautiful!
UA-cam has betrayed me. How did I not know this came out 5 days ago. Thank you Colm. This is fantastic
Thats how aprils fools should be. Funny, Nobody hurt, nothing broken, everyone amused, everyone appreciates.
Have a nice day y'all
Yessss
Getting taken high up to Valhalla by the Valkyries in this cover. Good job!
I really hope he retitles this soon so I can find it. This is one of his best covers.
Uh, you might consider this a joke, but now I want an entire alt rock or whatever you wanna call this album. Holy crap, you sound fantastic in this genre!
You hit this one out the park!
what a voice!!
...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!
Absolutely freaking amazing!!!!! LOVE THIS ❤❤❤❤
Damn, this is amazing! I'd love to hear more songs redone in this style! (Also, Valhalla Calling is fantastic! You guys need a collaboration!)
Oh my God, this is amazing. I love Creed, and I love Colm McGuinness so this is perfect! Its been rough recently so I don't think this could've come out at a better time.
Please keep making amazing music!
Wow...just WOW! Thank you!!❤
Okay I still really badly want you to actually do vahalla calling but this was FUCKING AWSOME
I can't wait to drink beers in my garage to this. Thank you, Colm!
love this song and colm slayed it! such a good cover!
OH MY GOD☠️☠️☠️🙈🙈🙈🙈 I am HERE for Colm the rock God😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Reminds me of the OG days as in way back Nirvana Heart-Shaped Box days...... I love it🫶

the sudden scott stappification of colm caught me so off guard but you know what, i'm here for it
