Rusty. Clayton. You beautiful soul. I think you've introduced me to a new favorite song. Between my love of this song and my love of outer space/geography, you might have introduced my to a new album by the look of that album track list.
@@ivydenver260 ik! I heard him singing novels and I was just like wait I didn't know SAL had a song I didnt know! after that I legit had to Google who their lead singer was to double check
When I first heard your cover in Spotify I cried, I didn't know why. Now in the video I can see the feeling in your eyes and understand. This is real art, Your voice is amazing
This. Is. Amazing. It's something about his voice that just brings this song to life, the vocals, the emotion, everything, this has been one of my favorite songs and hearing his voice just makes it so much more real. I have been listening to this on repeat for days. Thank you for this masterpiece.
I just want to say thank you, because you led me to find my new favourite artist, Sleeping at Last, who can I just say are really really incredible. Their songs are beautiful, and I'm so glad you covered this song because this version is amazing as well. Just...touches my heart I guess, for want of a less cheesy way of phrasing it.
Wow. I don't know what overcame me, but I was so suddenly moved by this. I suddenly felt incredibly involved with this song and cried my eyes out. Thank you Rusty, don't ever stop singing
Sleeping at Last is one of those musicians that never fails to move me when he makes music- and you more than did him justice with this cover. Loved hearing the story behind you seeing his show on snapchat, and similar to you and your original songs, I think Ryans music is incredibly under appreciated. Great job once again- you rock Rusty. ❤️❤️
+Cady Stanton Wow thanks so much, Cady! That means so much to me! I'm so glad you could connect with that. It was such an incredible meaningful night in my life.
Ryan O'Neal has been my favorite song writer as well....ever since I heard "Heaven Breaks" when I was younger. You did this song justice with how you added your own expression...your creativity is inspiring. Thanks!
+Rusty Clanton No problem at all, you 100% deserve it! If you ever find yourself playing in NYC I'd love to hear you sing live, so pls keep the amazing music shenanigans up. (they're really wonderful)
This is adorable. The beanie, cardigan, stubble and mug are all so cosy, your voice sounds like the feeling you get when you drink a warm tea on a cold day. The close ups of your face and the harmonies are beautiful, I actually started crying to this. This is on repeat now, I guess I really enjoy being emotionally corrupted! I really love this, the song is cool, I'll have to check them out!
I've loved Sleeping at Last since forever and I recently just discovered your beauty. The first time I heard you sing, I was hit with, your amazing, beautiful, extraordinary voice, but I also just got Sleeping at Last vibes. This just completes me. Loved everything about this.
Yet another incredible song! Please come to St. Louis. You'll sing great songs, everyone will dance, we'll hang out and it'll be the best. I've been waiting 4 years, Rusty! :)
Thank you so much for this, I just spent the past hour listening to songs by Sleeping At Last, a band that I feel like I've always been looking for. I can't thank you enough for introducing me to something that I can feel is becoming an integral part of my life. Absolutely phenomenal cover.
the first song that i listen to from you was a cover of to build a home and i stayed a while, glad i did, i think i found my new favorite song and cover, beautiful voice as always xo
Ah! I found this song via Spotify Discover Weekly months and months ago, and now I found this cover by letting YT autoplay from your new videos. So happy I found this; such a beautiful song.
+Rusty Clanton DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT. at school today we had to watch this motivational video and at the end it said the music was from the band sleeping at last. I hadn't even heard of this band until you posted this yesterday and now I'm seeing them everywhere???? are you some kind of sorcerer or something
I've decided there's no such thing as only watching your videos once because It's so beautiful I need to watch it hundreds of times to make sure I really appreciate it
+Rusty Clanton don't worry they're tears of joy. Thanks for replying! Would you consider doing a cover of a song by Mumford and sons? Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. :)
Ahh my gaaaad this is pure artttt
+doddleoddle HI FRAND
Yas Dodie

+StarMaker Thanks guys!

Niamh C

Don't ever stop singing. Like ever. Even when you're an old grandpa and live in a retirement home, I still want to see you posting singing videos!!
How am I only hearing this now? So in love with this.
I keep going back to this video
This makes my heart sad in the best possible way.
+Abi
Found your channel 18 months ago, hadn't watched anything from you for at least 6 months, and now this song draws me back in. Amazing. Thank you.
+Dylan Geick WOOOO WELCOME BACK, DYLAN!

WELLLLLCOMMME
+Rusty Clanton Thank you! 😆😆
Rusty Clanton hey rusty!! *^▁^* make a another cover of passenger pls
Kate Parker same haha
When I look for covers, this is what I mean. This video is a very accurate representation of the purity and heartfelt coverage I'm looking for.
How come I haven't discover this song earlier ? I got the chills from it and I'm slowly getting obsessed with it
This is a masterpiece i cant stop listening you have a magic voice man
Pitch black, pale blue
There was a stained glass, variation of the truth
And I felt empty handed
You let me set sail
With cheap wood
So I patched up every leak that I could
'Til the blame grew too heavy
Stitch by stitch I tear apart
If brokenness is a form of art
I must be a poster child prodigy
Thread by thread I come apart
If brokenness is a work of art
Surely this must be my masterpiece
I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth
I wanna tell you but I don't know how
I'm only honest when it rains
An open book, with a torn out page
And my inks run out
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I don't know how
No I don't know how
I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you
Pitch black, pale blue
These wild oceans shake what's left of me loose
Just to hear me cry mercy
The strong wind at my back
So I'll lift up
The only sail that I have
This tired white flag
(White flag)
I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth
I wanna tell you but I don't know how
I'm only honest when it rains
An open book, with a torn out page
And my inks run out
I wanna love you but I don't know how
Know how
I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth
I wanna tell you but I don't know how
Know how
I'm only honest when it rains
An open book, with a torn out page
And my inks run out
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you
Listen to this every day❤
Rusty. Clayton. You beautiful soul. I think you've introduced me to a new favorite song. Between my love of this song and my love of outer space/geography, you might have introduced my to a new album by the look of that album track list.
+05ALMA20 Atlas is SOOO great. Ryan is such an amazing story teller.
Goosebumps...
+CaptainLouMusic Just call you R.L. Stein.
+Rusty Clanton Stine*
It's been years and I still search this song to play every now and again. Truly beautiful, purely true.
The lead singer of SAL sounds so much like you so this made me really happy
+dovan bxtch highest of praise thank you so much!
Rusty Clanton i'm just being honest 😊 love your music, keep up the good work
Omg someone else hears it too?? The first time I heard SAL I had to google their lead singer to make sure it wasn't Rusty lol!
@@ivydenver260 ik! I heard him singing novels and I was just like wait I didn't know SAL had a song I didnt know! after that I legit had to Google who their lead singer was to double check
It will forever be my favorite song
I LOVE SLEEPING AT LAST THEYRE ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS IM SO HAPPY IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOW THEY EXIST

This is adorable. The beanie, cardigan, stubble and mug are all so cosy, your voice sounds like the feeling you get when you drink a warm tea on a cold day.

I really love this, the song is cool, I'll have to check them out!
