Haha the threat of hair going in my mouth while I’m singing is something that distracts me. Nothing worse than having a strand of hair stuck in your mouth while you’re trying to get through a song lol.
I’m a huge Staind fan. Your cover though has helped me through so much. Legit don’t think I would have gotten clean without it. I listen to it every time I get urges. You inspire me.
Jenna Marie Caldeira god bless your soul I’m in the same hole as you it’s hard I’m 20 and I love speeding not good ,nothing lasts forever absolutely nothing. It’s 2020 now and it’s the same crap nothing changes but us. Idgaf but one day Ik I’ll change we all need to change the world is crazy but fuck what’s on the news aslong as you’re happy that’s all that counts. Life is amazing sorry for ranting on a random video but I felt it was needed, no ones perfect enjoy the time you have on this world
Staind has gotten me threw a lot in my life with their music like recently I just went threw a horrible breakup and this song just picks me up when I'm down
Not only is he a talented musician who possesses a naturally good voice. You can hear that passion that this song resonates with him and its coming from somewhere with him. He's feeling the words he's singing, not just focused trying to sound good or pleasing to an audience. That's true music. Cover or not...
It’s a blessing and a curse to feel so deeply. With me, it never turns off. I’m either suspended in the heights of bliss or lost in the depths of pain. I wouldn’t trade this gift for anything tho. It’s worth all that comes with it. I appreciate ya taking the time to mention theses things. Always means a lot to have others remind me of how my gift affects them.
@@ClayColeyMusicbrother I just realized you replied back to my comment from a year ago. This is one of the only covers I consistently come back to listen to. I don't possess quite the musical abilities you have, but I trust me I know about being trapped in the deepest depths of anguish. I hope you're still playing and doing well brother. Your music definitely has touched my soul, and I'm sure it has with many others who appreciate true passion & talent.
Oh no worries at all man. I am still playing and I’ll never stop. Bout to launch my own indie record label to release new music through. Producing for some other artists as well, so I’m really excited about that too. I think most creative people battle with stress and depression. Likely just part of having to live and exist in this backwards society where our creativity and free spirited hearts aren’t accepted or encouraged naturally. It’s something we just gotta learn to work and navigate through in our own way.
Hey Clay I got 30 months sober now I’m in college, employed and I just had a beautiful baby girl. When I first started listening to your cover I was homeless n strung out w no direction. Forever grateful for you sharing this video. I always come back to it 🫶🏽
This is so amazing! I’m getting ready to post an updated studio acoustic version of this in celebration of how much support its received. I’m gonna dedicate it to you. So so happy to have opened my TH-cam to see this comment today. Totally made my day.
Thank you forever for this cover. 19 months sober. After 5 years in and out of recovery relapse after relapse this is what I continue to come back to to get through the cravings.
Very talented musician. Your guitar skills and vocals are a blessing and please don't ever stop singing and keep sharing because you're an inspiration to other aspiring musicians.
Lucky for y’all I’m not great at anything else, so I have no real choice but to keep going. There’s no plan B lol 😂 Thank u for the love and support btw
Man this is a great cover, love the energy, brings back so many old memories this song, old vibes, good times just good feeling in general of a simpler life. NO COVID, NO ONE GAVE A SHIT... LIFE WAS JUST SO MUCH BETTER BACK THEN
Six years better and this is still the best rendition of the song I’ve found yet! I’m still coming back and playing it every now and then. Keep it up Clay, you’ve made an impact on me somehow and I appreciate it.
Wow, this cover by you Sir, is stellar. From me, a left-handed rookie guitarist who's endeavouring to perform this fine Staind song I first heard in 2009. I'm gonna achieve it before long.
How many years passed, I still cant forget the time at Clearwater Beach Fl you sang with me on the side of the walkway and encouraged my voice to grow. Were almost, id say coming up to 5 years since then, watching this in memory of that time!!! As a kid i was a bit lost and immature, I should have recorded with you when I had the chance! Hope everything is well Clay Coley (; (:
Super talented is an understatement, I listen to this video weekly bc the cover is so badass makes me want to try to learn the guitar and I might, Cool thing is looks like he has his bible next to him and cool cross pendants on his neck and guitar 🎸
I am a guitar player and hearing u play that gave me cold chills idk why and then your voice came out them I was like wow that's some thing u call music damn your good
Wow buddy, your voice is outstanding! We can definitely feel the emotions when you sing, it's awesome. It pisses me off to see some famous artists that can't even sing, and there's you. Good job!

This is still my favourite staind cover. Strong vocals man. Respect from the UK.
Thanks so much Spense! I need to do an updated studio version
That hair adjustment and straight back into the song was legendary 👌
Haha the threat of hair going in my mouth while I’m singing is something that distracts me. Nothing worse than having a strand of hair stuck in your mouth while you’re trying to get through a song lol.
Fantastic rendition mate. Inspiring.

That’s awesome! You bout to have an updated studio acoustic version to rock to 😎
Staind has gotten me threw a lot in my life with their music like recently I just went threw a horrible breakup and this song just picks me up when I'm down
I love how when people play this song they often dedicate it to someone.... Just shows how great a song it is
Man this was fucking insane ... I mean for real you sing with so much passion
OMG!!! I was looking for a good cover of this song and I found THE BEST ONE! You rock! :)
