Iam Tongi - Monsters "Studio Version" (Prod. Amél)

- This is not an 'official' studio version. I took the audio from Iam's UA-cam channel and added production over the guitar and vocals. It's somewhat of an imagined "what if Iam released a studio version of his cover of 'Monsters'.
*Backstory: I first heard Iam on American Idol and was blown away by his voice and story. His rendition of 'Monsters' particularly touched me as I also lost my father at 18 years old. I personally think Iam's cover is hands down the best version of the track. With that said, I had to work with this track as soon as I heard it (I am a music producer). think Iam is an insane talent and hope he ends up recording a studio version of this track, but until then, here's my interpretation of what a 'studio' version of the track could sound like.

Sounds beautiful. Can you change the cover photo? 🙏🏼
@@shari.hooks27things nothings wrong with the picture
@@paulanapier5926it’s not even IAM dude
HMMM I HATE THIS FAKE ACCOUNT! PRETENDING TO BE IAM... 🤬🤬🤬
@@patrickbaisac So many fake accounts! It’s weird. For American Idol, even the fake ones helped share his music which was good for voting. BUT it should be made clear when it is not the actual person. And shouldn’t only he have the rights to share his music? Don’t copyright laws apply?
I saw another new wtongi with full playlist- thought it wasn’t him. How can people tell? People responding to him like they’re writing to Iam. Either way when it comes to love and respect, the people feel good and Iam is going to following. BUT it’s misrepresentation and Iam deserves to make a good living off of his amazing talent.
This made me cry. My dad passed away when i was 19 from cancer and this whole song is everything i wanted to say to him, but never got the chance. Thank you for this
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you I love you once more
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Oh, well, I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone
So here it is
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
Sleep a lifetime
Yes, and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one
So I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness, in your heart
But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
❤❤❤

I lost my dad about 7 years ago , and still can’t get over it, we had a rocky relationship and felt like my mom my made him to be a monster but he wasn’t, he was a great dad looking out for his 3 sons the best he could. Than when he passed I wasn’t there and I felt he was waiting for me, love this song made me forgive and also move on. Love you pop. Rest in heaven see you later.
This version of this songs hits home so hard... I'm 41 years old and lost my Dad the day after my 13th birthday. I had only met him once the year before but he was on his way to pick me and my sister up for our birthdays but never made it. My mom was so pissed when he didn't show up, she took us to the mall and got us a few more things. When we got home we had a message on our answering machine that he was in a wreck and didn't make it. Life is not fair but now that I'm grown and have kids and a granddaughter I understand God. I don't understand the "why's" and never will but God does things we can't explain.
Be always proud of yourself. God loves you very much and him (God) never forsake his kids.
Es muy fuerte tu testimonio amigo .... Dios es soberano y hace como el quiera así no entendamos ... Dios t fortalezca
Im sorry...❤ its not fair
@@rubenmunyaba God loves you. I've told that story a few times but never received a response and now I have 3. Thank you for your kind words.
@@evingonzalez8373 ❤ Gracias
I lost my father right now, I wish it was just a bad dream.😢😢😢
First time I heard it on the auditions I was sobbing and now listening to it on this I'm crying. Damn good song.
The person in the Photo is not Iam Tongi! This is offensive. Pulling any brown thick-boned male photo off Google of a random dude is ignorant. And most people in the comment section claiming to be fans didnt even notice. Please remove the incorrect photo ASAP and replace with the real Tongi!
@@it405it’s literally him but ok
@@wallyandjilly375 you must be blind or cross-eyed
I am Elijah and i really can't pass through without listening this wonderful rendition... Thanks much Mr.Tongi🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💐👑
Thank you Iam Tongi for your beautiful God given voice. Love you my brother in Christ!
I love anything you do I AM. Don’t worry there are a lot of people who have your back! You will get used to having people around you-love you
I AM!❤
Amen
I lost my father in may,23, 2023. When i listen this song, you always made me cry, i missed him a lot😢, thank you for this song. ❤
I am sorry for your loss. I took lost my father on the 21st of May 2023. I heard this song and I couldn't stop crying.
When he sings it touches my very core of my soul, it’s so touching & different feelings, really.🥰
my dad just passed away and i can only listen to this version of the song. So un real how a song can make you feel when you’re enduring so much pain.
Ho letto molti commenti su chi ha perso il papà dopo una brutta malattia e mi unisco anche io per ringraziarti di questa canzone da te cantata con il cuore che è arrivata fino in Italia.
Anche mio padre è morto dopo un cancro e sento vicini tutte le persone che hanno passato questa esperienza con i loro cari.
I nostri genitori o parenti saranno sempre nei nostri cuori.
ringrazio Iam Tongi per lo splendido regalo.
Grazie
As I am watching my 70 year old father slowly wilt away this song is like a stab in the heart. What a beautiful voice and the performance on American idol was the best I've ever seen.
Hope you’re doing good brother.. I’m 24 and my parents are only in their 50s, but I saw my dad lose his dad when I was younger from lung cancer and it was devastating.
We all have our time and it’s a beautiful thing to see that relationship and legacy move down to you. You’re a strong man for being able to feel this deeply. It brings out the care in me for my family as well
I just lost my father at 68 to a completely unexpected heart attack. I didn't have the chance to tell him goodbye, but I had the privilege of trying to save him. I know his only concern would be for mom, so I'm doing my best to chase those monsters away. No matter how unprepared you think you are for that loss though, you're still vastly underestimating it. Cherish every moment you have with him, because one of those moments will have to last you for the rest of your life. Be well, and God bless you both.
@@matthewsokalski1969 I'm so sorry for you and your moms loss. Thank you for that. Have a blessed day
I feel you I just lost my dad in February he weighted 175 and dwindled down to 145 from stage 4 colon cancer

I love you Iam Tongi i am 61 yrs old and love to hear you sing ❣🙏⭐
Praise God for all the Memories you hold dear to your Heart of your Dad. It's very hard losing someone who is very dear to you. My Mom went home to Jesus 4 years ago and it's still hard. But I know she's my Guardian Angel.😇 Your Dad is your Guardian Angel😇 too IAM. He is smiling down from Heaven. He is so proud of you IAM. Heartfelt Lyrics in this song. . Keep pursuing your career in Music. Bless you for winning American Idol. Hawaii is proud of you too! Congratulations. 🎉😊🤙🤙
Your daddy is so proud of you ., Gosh your so so amazing ,just love ya
I love Iam.. I voted for him over Megan Even though I thought she was the better singer and think she's going to make it big in Nashville.. This kid pulled on my heart strings and I voted for him all year.. He has a way to reach down to your soul..
No you didnt ( vote for Iam)!!!
So much good talent...he won our hearts
Yes. Heart connected.
You understand
This song came to me at the right time. Lost my father in law in 2021 unexpectedly. He had 7 kids, luckily all grown with kids of their own. Him and his wife had just bought a new house to retire in He retired on a Fri, moved in to his new house on that sun, was in the hospital the following Thursday and never came home except to die when we brought him home on hospice, but at least he didn’t have to die alone in a hospital with limited visitation “protocols”. He lasted for 11 days once he came home but he was surrounded by his entire family for those 11 days, they never left his side. I don’t understand the “whys” of God either, and it’s sad he got cheated out of the rest of his life and the new chapter he was about to start….getting to enjoy life for himself. But life happens unexpectedly sometimes and sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason. I also feel like I lost a father that day. He was a great man and we miss him so much ❤.
the original version where he was auditioning for the first time had more feeling and effects to your heartstrings.. still put a grown man to tears, this version is too clean..
Totally agree!! It’s manufactured sounding. This version is missing his heartfelt words that came across both times he sung it live.
I dont like this. His audition had me full on crying snorting n all that ugly shit, but not this. Cant feel the emotion like his audition. Jus my opinion tho.
There comes a time when you can bare the pain !
Yes, too sanitized and ordinary.
He sounds the same. I still cry. I think because you can't see the film of him actually see him singing you are not feeling the emotion. Try closing your eyes and listening the emotion is still there.
Goosebumps bumps and crying. Every lyrics comes from your heart. You are amazing singer.
Gosh , you really could sing the phone book ! Love you and your voice and your personality. I hope you never change .♥️

This is a great re-edit of the song. Love it. Iam should be recording more music like this, covers and originals.
There is absolutely no way that you could have written this sing without some sort of communication from your father. I cant stop crying. This is the absolutely most perfect song ive ever heard. I dont watch American idol. But I'm watching you now. Kudos brother!!! Ive never felt closer to my pops since he passed. Thank you. And i wish you the peace this song brought me.......
It's his cover of James Blunt. Thus version is much better.
Such a beautiful song 💕Thank you Iam💕
so like no one wants to appreciate this guy's effort? the extra sound you put to make this studio version is exceptionally spectacular!
Im here
It sounds like crap

Care to explain why?
And I am specifically responding to
@stevearpey9241
I also lost my Father, miss him to this day. When Iam sang this, it hit that place in my heart where I keep my Dad and his memories. Every word was felt. This must have been therapeutic for you. In a way, a great tribute for your own Dad. So many are trying to take advantage of this 18yr old who lost his Dad not to long ago. Just don't want your good intentions to look like that. So glad you explained.This would amazing to share with Iam though.
the best cover i HEARD
My mom passed away two days ago this shit makes me weep i love you momma
Love this song. Am a trucker and this song makes me miss my kids so much.
Your a beautiful soul Iam. Always know your Dads soul is with you always. ❤
My Dad died March 25, 2023, he requested this Song to be played at his funeral...the lyrics are just unbelievably phenomenal. Hard to listen yet so good.
My dad died March 29, 2024 and i just found this song on his profile
I lost my dad at 22, 15 years ago. I was so mad for so long; he was deeply flawed. I was too hurt to see he was too hurt to heal himself. He was a deadbeat. Now I own a business and employ people and am making my way in the world. I miss what could have been. I hope I’ve made you proud, dad.
Hace 2 dias se fue mi padre, estuvimos mucho tiempo sin hablarnos y me costaba decirle "papá". Hace 10 días me llamaron que estaba ingresado, viaje 12000 km para vover a verlo, decirle que lo quería, volver a decirle "papá" y apretar su mano cuando me necesitaba. Tuve que volver y a los 3 dias, un dia después del dia del padre, me dieron la noticia que habia partido. Agradezco a Dios poder haberme despedido de el, y decirle los sentimientos que tanto tiempo había guardado. Se fue en paz, vuela alto viejo ❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS on winning American Idol !!!! You definitely deserved it (& I voted for u every time😊) 🎉💯🤩💕🥳👑🎤🎵🎶
Great song for a lost father. Greetings from Belize Central America
Great job Mixing this version, its awesome......
You did a marvelous job editing this. Already a beautiful cover and you brought it another fresh breath.
Iam, that is just gorgeous! Thank you for showing up in our lives. Your voice is healing my heart. God bless.
Your voice is almost haunting, there is so much depth and sometimes pain, how could anyone not love you. ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic production Carter and thank you for making it available to download.
Stay true to who you are. Love your version of this song. ❤
🙏💕🥰🌹 beautiful song, and I finish hearing it to the end without crying and thank you for sharing part of you ❤🙏💕🥰🎉🌺🥳
Good on you, bro'. This version resonates, and it still brings tears to my eyes. No matter where I am or what I'm doing, when I hear Iam sing this song, it makes me cry. Thank you for this version, too!
Love this cover! His voice is so soothing!
Excellent rendition. So good to hear your voice❤
Doamne ce voce! Muzica ta unește inimi ! Magic!❤
I loved it and aloha for making this. Thank you for this remix. Other's will say that they still prefer the original. But I love Iam's voice regardless. The more people hear Iam's voice the world is a better place.
Absolutely heart touching & beautiful!
Everytime I play this song made me cried because my father died of lung cancer 😭it’s hard talking video call to my Papa for the last time. I can’t be able to come back in Philippines because I just got married in US in K1 visa on that time. He tried his best to talked though he is struggle breathing and said “i love you my daughter and I’m so happy for you that you found your true love and see you finally happily married. ❤“😭 miss you Papa
Just wanna thank you for singing this song it makes me remember all the good times me and my dad had before he passed.... ❤
So cool! Thank you for that.
You did an awesome job! Wonderful!
Such a beautiful song ❤
Amazing. I almost believed it's an official studio version. Thanks a lot for doing and sharing this.
Iam sends love n healing to the world he is a healer. He doesn't need the heavy beat in the background or extra add ons. They are distracting n and take away from Iam's beautiful, loving, healing voice. He isn't singing for a polka 💃 dance. Softer echoing at beginning then stops!? I send love, healing n Gods Blessings to you n your loved ones.
this is so good, thank you for this
What a refreshing voice, just chill!
Such a Beautiful mix of the song Monster ..IAM Tongii singing ❤
Lovely!
stunning! There's no other words
Fantastic production, performance, and creation.
So for people who are confused😄
First of all, please read the description, I explain everything in there.
Secondly, for those wondering about the “photo”, it’s a picture I had commissioned. No, it’s not a photograph, it’s an impressionistic image of Iam I had made specifically for this video.
Enjoy the music❤️
Bruh change his pic atleast tf looks nothing like him
So you changed the original description of what you had up after getting called out. 🤡
@@antman562 Ah no… I specifically wrote that description when I uploaded the video.
Omg, shameful!! Trying to capitalize on Iam.
❤
Dude, legit, this is a SWEET ADDITION
I don't care what anyone says you did earn your win. You brought it every time so good luck and blessings from here on.
Totally agree!! He has a pure and amazing soul when he sings and how his beautiful personality shines!! God Bless him and lead him down the right path!!❤🙏
Beautiful
Great, grande! Este é O Iam Tong! Thnanks, brother!
I hope he will get the opportunity to record this song, it has to be a win-win for the James Blunt!
Beautiful.
Aloha Iam. You make Hawaii proud. God bless you.
A once in a lifetime God given powerful gifted soul touching voice.
Bro I just love you, and thank you very much for being born! ‘Preciate youxx
Congrats excellent track. He is an amazing old school like, new fantastic singer!
You've captured my heart with your singing beautiful ❤️🙏🎉❤❤❤
Lillie you are such an amazing woman. The way you jave been with Iam throughout his journey to AI. You held the fort down by staying strong for Iam. There are no words to express how much love you have shown. You are the true definition of a mother's love. Thank you for sharing Iam with the world. And Congratulations to you! ❤
Very cool man. Very well produced and thank you for this. You went all in on the studio version, haha! nice
So emotional. Well done Iam.
What an incredible version of an amazing song. If people are listening and they have lost their fathers and thought the absolute world of , then this song will guarantee bring the tears flowing ❤️
This is Fantastic.
Ian Tongi needs to make a song with jelly roll
Lost my dad when I was around 26. I was across the country when he passed. I didn't get a chance to tell him goodbye and that I was so proud to have had him as my father.
I'm 47 now and was thinking about him today. I still miss him deeply to this day.
As a father myself now, I try to live how he taught me and do good by him every day.
Even though I've made mistakes and slip up from time to time. I hope he's looking down on me and is proud of the man I turned out to be.
And I hope he knows he has a wonderful granddaughter.
Love you Pops always and forever.
Beautiful song ❤
Amazing voice beautiful tribute to his father Our American Idol Winner 2023 ❤🎉🎊✌️🎤🎶✨!!!
That was so beautiful 💕🙏
Awesome! Home grown talent of Kahuku, Hawaii, I loved ❤it. Your voice Iam Tongi - Monsters "Studio Version", is magnificent that penetrate every human being souls. Since, I saw you in your audition in AGT Session 21, I was resonated because my Dad was passed away during pandemic last December 2020 and got teary-eye😭 with your daddy Rodney story you have a good story teller delivery of the song cover "Monsters" and duet with James Blunts. I am rooting your success young man. Thank you for sharing your talents to the world.🙏
They're saying it's not Tongi nor his picture. 😅
@saiyongdawn7756 that's most def iam tongi singing. It's just a producer edit. Picture is not Iam tho
I lost my dad Dec 2nd 2023 and this just hits home 😢
Heavenly gifted talent❤
God given voice. Beware of the celebrity traps, status ahead that could ruin this life changing opportunities in front of you.
And grifters and careerists on your coat tails who dont get him healthcare like what Elvis had. Rip Israel too young
True talent and authenticity are rare, and should be treasured
