When one hears this in their youth, as it was, and now that same person hears this in the late fall of life..... Perhaps the universe is rewarding ones soul. Life is come full circle. My life has been extraordinary!!!!
Hes a nationally recognized songwriter. Seen him tonight in Deadwood SD live for their 10th anniversary Wild west singer/songwriter fest. He is amazing on a guitar, amazing in vocals, and hilarious! I agree, his skills should be known far wider
I don’t know why anyone has to try to put someone in a box saying he sounds like him or them. He is of his own making. His debut album is better than most greatest hits albums I’ve heard.
came here from the "stand by me" short. I'm not sure if it's the mixing or just magic. But it's like your voice is another string on that guitar and as if each string is another chord in your voice. you and that guitar are soulmates and you make beautiful music together.
I am not sure how someone can take one of my favourite songs, completely mess with the timing and still create such an amazing performance. Please do not stop performing.
more covers like this please and thank you for this one its amazing. I love the reinterperation of this. it sounds like it should have been a folk/country song all along.
TikTok brought be to this artist with his version of Stand by me and it gave me goosebumps. Now I'm a huge fan of his music and style. Best artist I've listened to hands down 🤯
This is reinterpretive perfection in sonic execution. Wow, thanks Stephen for a Country music gem version cover of Everclear. Absolutely amazing and so greatly done.
I just saw Stephen open for The Lone Bellow. Never heard of him before and now I'm all about his music. What a great cover this is too. Not sure how he isn't more popular at this point.
After reading so many comments and listening to this music for the first time...again...it is easy to see that Stephen Wilson Jr. is OUTSTANDING! his ability as a song writer and musician is amazingly eclectic...just listening to this very recent cover, I felt drawn back to the release date of Santa Monica but was weigh down by Roy Oberson and felt privileged to be a part of this duality in time and tempo and circumstance.
I have always loved this song. It's one of those songs you can not help but sing when it comes on. Now I absolutely LOVE this song. How awesome to see it done this way. It's my favorite version!!! ❤
Met Art a couple of weeks ago. He was the most humble, down to earth celebrity and a true artist. He shares his pain, triumphs and everything in between without sugarcoating anything at all.
Great cover with your own style! Love that Willie style pickin too. Although, i thought for a second, it was going to break out into a Shakey Graves esque style. Stoked to see you live sometime.
Holy. Shit. Master of being in the dark but how am I showing up a couple years late to this party? I could keep you singing for 3 yrs with 90's alt rock requests.
WOW!!!!!! Idk whst to even fn say right other thst THAT WAS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL......I remember growing up playing this on my drums....n id beat tf out um.....because i got an energetic vibe from it but man.....THIS IS TRULLY AMAZING!!!! I trully feel blessed to have even heard this version!!!! This is was a fucking gift!!........every thing is "wonderful now".......
I'm dying to know what kind of guitar pedal you use Stephen??? I want to buy the same. You have an absolutely incredible sound. Saw you last night in Birmingham UK, outstanding performer
Honestly...I never liked the original. It was kinda formulaic and boring, and 'young me' absolutely didn't get the lyrics. This cover though...good god this is so damn good! I love the arrangement, the dynamics, and his voice gives such *weight* to the lyrics. It's a totally different song in his hands and it is beautiful.

❤❤❤ full circle for real🔥🔥🔥
I love this song Stephen !! You are awesome and again, you made me cry. I love and miss you son . Your Mamma
This cover. This artist. All of it is INCREDIBLE. How is he not HUGE? How is not internationally known?
Asking the same thing this man is talented

It’s happening…Dude is not a “marketing scheme” he is a musician
Not for long. He's about ready to explode.
🎵👍🏼😎
I don’t know why anyone has to try to put someone in a box saying he sounds like him or them. He is of his own making. His debut album is better than most greatest hits albums I’ve heard.
Me too too Also
I think he sounds a lot like Stephen Wilson Jr. Wouldn't you agree?

The guitar solo alone is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard in a long time
I am not sure how someone can take one of my favourite songs, completely mess with the timing and still create such an amazing performance. Please do not stop performing.
How is this a favorite song. So over produced! And yes I grew up then. I'm amazed of this cover, its cash doing Trent. Never So it coming
If Willie Nelson and Chris Cornell had a son…. Love your music!!
That's a great summation. Thank you.
I'm ready for a black hole sun cover like now !
Another beautiful musical interpretation. Thank you Stephen ! ❤
I sense a touch of Sammy Kershaw in there on some songs.
💯
Amazing. Love it. From someone who has Everclear, Jim Croce, and Pearl Jam in my playlist, this is right on…
I appreciate you blessing my ears with these gems man, I hope they play this for me when I pass
This guy. Best I've heard in a LONG time.
He's definitely channeling some serious Willie energy right here
I love this cover. Has a more somber feeling. Especially for everything that is going on today, very fitting. ❤️
WAP has MILLIONS of views. This is a song that speaks to our souls. That is a crime. This is gold!
You must be one of those views. I for one don't know what the hell you are talking about.
@@Day12My I'm saying that a garbage song like Cardi B's "WAP" has way more views than this. Stephen Wilson Jr is incredible and this cover is amazing.
more covers like this please and thank you for this one its amazing. I love the reinterperation of this. it sounds like it should have been a folk/country song all along.
TikTok brought be to this artist with his version of Stand by me and it gave me goosebumps. Now I'm a huge fan of his music and style. Best artist I've listened to hands down 🤯
Gah! Incredible! Sounded SO GOOD! Quality was great and your voice is beautiful! Love this version! 😍😍😍
This is reinterpretive perfection in sonic execution. Wow, thanks Stephen for a Country music gem version cover of Everclear. Absolutely amazing and so greatly done.
This is becoming one of my favorite pieces of music I've ever heard. Incredible.
One of my favorite songs of all time. I am forever dreaming of the west coast.
I'm sure the guys in @everclear would love to hear this cover of their classic song. I'll take both all day long.
I just saw Stephen open for The Lone Bellow. Never heard of him before and now I'm all about his music. What a great cover this is too. Not sure how he isn't more popular at this point.
Thank you for this. This is what this song is meant to be.
What an amazing and beautiful cover.. Just completely reinvented the song 👌🤗❤️
After reading so many comments and listening to this music for the first time...again...it is easy to see that Stephen Wilson Jr. is OUTSTANDING! his ability as a song writer and musician is amazingly eclectic...just listening to this very recent cover, I felt drawn back to the release date of Santa Monica but was weigh down by Roy Oberson and felt privileged to be a part of this duality in time and tempo and circumstance.
wow I always loved this song. Love it more now.
JFC that song was one of my 90s favourites and still is. Amazing cover!
Found you on TT and you made my favorite song sound even more haunting… just wow! You definitely have a new fan
This guy is the man. Got his guitar lookin like Trigger!
PERFECT 10 RENDITION.

Nice hat tip to Willie in that solo.
My goodness man. such goodness, man. Definitely excited to watch the world honer your gifts. Well done.
I’ve never in my life heard cover songs done so beautifully. He’s going to be huge, soon.
I have always loved this song. It's one of those songs you can not help but sing when it comes on.
Now I absolutely LOVE this song. How awesome to see it done this way. It's my favorite version!!! ❤
How have I never heard or seen this beauty of an artist before?
Ol Bob Rock said it best when it's real you'll feel it. Stephen Wilson Jr is what this world needs right now

The rare cover that knocks the original out the park GOTDAMN 🔥🔥🔥
Ooh wish Art Alexakis would cover his cover this version is incredible
Holy. Shit. Master of being in the dark but how am I showing up a couple years late to this party? I could keep you singing for 3 yrs with 90's alt rock requests.
Wish this version was on streaming platforms..
This guy is something special, hope you never change a thing
I've been dealing with some tuff things lately. I think God put him in my life to help. Thank you Stephen.

🤯🤯🤯
Damn son!
Oh you stoke me bro!
Sat down and owned this song like it was his. #MusicalBeast
Wow
🥰
Does any one on here know what the hell he is doing with that guitar to get that tone.......that's not a normal acoustic guitar sound. It's awesome.
He’s using gut strings and I think it’s an electric acoustic guitar. He’s amazing, though!
Howling at the moon...
The likes were 666.. I thought twice about not liking to keep it that way… then the solo kicked in.
Honestly...I never liked the original. It was kinda formulaic and boring, and 'young me' absolutely didn't get the lyrics. This cover though...good god this is so damn good! I love the arrangement, the dynamics, and his voice gives such *weight* to the lyrics. It's a totally different song in his hands and it is beautiful.
