Bro. This man straight up created custom timing for the lyrics that had a perfect speed up and slow down and worked perfectly for the refrain. Absolutely amazing.
Somehow it gives me that same feeling that the actual Mr Brightside gives me. Ignoring the pain that builds up inside until you have to scream behind your smiling mask
@@swordsmanthegamernine7973exactly, but it's much less "bottle up the depression until I cry", and much more "bottle up the rage until I grab the gun".
The only problem I have with this outstanding thing is that the lyrics you'd assume would rhythm but then don't in the OG song- the "and my stomach is sick, and she's touching his-- CHESSSST" doesn't quite work the same way in this version. Other than that, this is SO GOOD lol
@@peep3213 basing on his other videos alone his vocalizations are always on point, they sound exactly like the lead thats supposed to sing them, so its safe to assume that its got processing.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a concept as outrageous as this being brought to life. Superb execution! You definitely got something special brewing here.
Lyrics: Coming out of my cage And I'm doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest But she’s touching his chest and he takes off her dress and he takes off her dress Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside Coming out of my cage And I'm doing just fine Gotta gotta be down Because I want it all It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest But she’s touching his chest and he takes off her dress and he takes off her dress Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibi But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibi But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
The verses match perfectly with how how Serj and Daron would harmonize their vocals. The depressing way "Serj" said Mr. Brightside is sick! Good job man
Wow! I am just amazed. Your voice, music creativity, guitar playing, audio mastering, harmonic layering, etc. This sounds so good! You are incredible! Don't get me started on how the drums fit so well! They are so groovy, yet they don't steal your attention from the rest of the music. I can't describe how awesome this is! Amazing! Thank you for the music
I have shared this video so many times with people. This was not something my friends and I expected nor knew we needed in our lives but holy hell is it beautiful!!!! Having seen them live, you did a very spot on cover; reminds me of them so much. Great job! :)
Man, this is such incredibly high effort and quality content. You even cut and moved some lyrics, changed the timings... It's such an absolute pleasure to listen to. Well done.
I simply can't get over just how damn good this is - absolutely freaking nailed it! I was put off Mr Brightside by association with a breakup, this actually cured me and I can't get enough of it.
Thank you for bringing truly great content, listening to all of your videos is like tapping into a parallel universe and listening to your fav bands releasing alternative songs the whatif’s of rock !! ❤
Found a you on a Facebook short! This is absolute 🔥🔥🔥! Took a tune I can’t stand and made it into something that it’s a thing of beauty! Smashed it mate!
Bro i never thought id ever put one of these many tracks i see by youtube creators on to a personal playlist. thats awesome and from what i see and hear youve mastered your trade
Bro this is badass dude. I came across your tiktok and I just HAD to look for your YT channel for the full cover. This fuckin slaps dude. Rock on brother 😎😎
Binged a bunch of these covers and now I've got the feeling a Deftones style cover of Ghosts n Stuff by deadmau5 and Rob Swire would actually kill from you. It'd chart new territory on this channel but I feel you could really make it work.
"This is gonna be cursed" he says before creating some of the most blessed audio I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
No, you're gay
The irony😂
Holy shit man. Just holy shit.
Right?!
Fucking epic not cursed
"This is gonna be cursed" > casually makes best SOAD song in years

Yeah wtf I love SOAD and this slaps harder than my drunk stepdad😂
@@i-love-comountains3850broooo
@@i-love-comountains3850 ...Damn. Nice one.
Hard not to bet the best song in years when it's the only song in years 🥲
In a world filled with cheap, low effort AI covers, I'm glad there's still people like you putting out amazing covers like this. Keep it up, man.
Have not heard a lot of covers lately, but are AI covers becoming a normal occurrence now?

this is also ai 😒
God the "I'm Miser Brightside" in Serj's voice is so haunting
It's the best
This is absolutely amazing. If there was a "If System of a Down wrote" album, I would fucking buy it. System of a brain stew was also phenomenal.
Same does he do more soad style videos??
Seriously I need more of this
Absolutely without a doubt same here. If Mac decides to compile an album and sell it I would most certainly be all for it.
I can’t wait for a system stew album 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
moonic production did several covers and made an album in the style of system you should check it out it's great
The bit where he changes tone to sing the words "Mr Brightside"
Such an impactful choice to do, awesomeness.
This was what sealed the authenticity
It really feels like a soad song, and I've heard every single song from them
@@redrage369 I've heard 3 soad songs.. And I agree. =)
Daron vocal handoff to serj
I read this, the second time he did it came up right after, and I legit got a weird chill down my spine
This is like dipping french fries in a milkshake.
The thought of it is cursed, but then you try it..
This is probably my favorite song now 😅
Next you gotta try Chicken nuggets in Chocolate Pudding. Fire Fam. Its FIRE.
coarse salt + olive oil + vanilla ice cream. I think it also had star anise or summin’, whatever herb it was that tastes like licorice.
@@oscaranderson5719 bacon + vanilla ice cream also works :)

@@SerociaYes! That subversion of expectations is my favorite part of the OG song.
A more than commendable job of emulating Serj's vocal style. A+
He's good at serj's style
Screams sound like his version of Daron too hahaha this is so sick.
Sounds more like Daron not much serj. But serj is one of a kind
Singing style serj
Screaming style daron
*IF SOAD WROTE SMASH MOUTH - ALL STAR*
This. Absolutely this.
Yo this needs to be done
It's already been done lol th-cam.com/video/l1N82O1zeLg/w-d-xo.html
he kinda done it a week ago
""That was TOTALLY WICKED!"

Ha! Perfect quote.
Also, didn't know he had a name lol
Your vocal and instrumental flexibility is really impressive. Another job well done!
the vocals are heavily procesed though, moreover seems like there's AI as well
What's wrong with either of that? @@caleb3824

if jealousy makes you depressed instead of anxious, this captures it.
This deserves to be in an actual SOAD album, it's just perfect.
Now I want them to make a full cover album. Just for fun. If Dragonforce can cover My Heart Will go on, SOAD can cover something like this.
Lyrics:
Coming out of my cage
And I'm doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
But she’s touching his chest
and he takes off her dress
and he takes off her dress
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Coming out of my cage
And I'm doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
But she’s touching his chest
and he takes off her dress
and he takes off her dress
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I needed this. such a masterpiece. Thanks for posting the way the lyrics would have been wrote. Helped me.
This should be top comment
Thank you mate!
Came from tiktok, ride this wave bro you deserve it!
Same. Best thing I’ve seen today
💯 same here! ❤
Same! Needed the full version. So we’ll done!
…iFunny lmao
Also here from tik tok hell yea 🤘
I’m going down the rabbit hole on the channel but holy crap all of these are hits! I’d literally listen to these in the car!
What a treat, you have a gift. I feel like I just got the opportunity to listen to “new” SOAD material in the most classic SOAD style.
I never realised I needed this until I had it
The creativity of people never ceases to amaze me, fantastic job!
“Never in my life have I needed something so much and never known until I received it.”
not only are the vocals incredible but the screaming is also spot on!
That legit went hard. What a banger!
This needs to be on Spotify like ASAP so I can binge it for 3 weeks straight
This is so well done, man. 🤘🏻🥀 the “cause I’m mister brightside” was FUCKING perfect.
I love this!
As a hardcore SOAD fan, I do feel like there needs to be more pitch variation in the chorus, but I enjoyed the cover regardless!
It reminds me of their self titled album honestly
I felt like it needed to pick up and go double time but otherwise its damn near perfect.
And more prominent backup vocals
I want to fund an album by this guy
Can't nobody do Serj but Serj, but with that being said, he did a very good job. I love it.
The verses match perfectly with how how Serj and Daron would harmonize their vocals. The depressing way "Serj" said Mr. Brightside is sick! Good job man
Went down a rabbit hole, found you, and now I'm in Wonderland.
Dude... im in love with this masterpiece,this is so sick,listening this for hours,do more "if SOAD wrote"...🙌🏻
Wow! I am just amazed. Your voice, music creativity, guitar playing, audio mastering, harmonic layering, etc. This sounds so good! You are incredible!

Saw the short and came to see the full version. If Serj didn't have such a distinct voice, i would believe they did this. Amazing!
I have shared this video so many times with people. This was not something my friends and I expected nor knew we needed in our lives but holy hell is it beautiful!!!! Having seen them live, you did a very spot on cover; reminds me of them so much. Great job! :)
Dang. These covers u do are so good..keep em comin!
We need a studio version of this curse.
Hands down, one of the best what if covers I've ever heard. You have outdone yourself sir!
Man, this is such incredibly high effort and quality content. You even cut and moved some lyrics, changed the timings... It's such an absolute pleasure to listen to. Well done.
This is honestly one of the best things I've heard in a while!
This is better than I could have ever imagined.

This is the most fun I've had on TH-cam in a minute. Badass man
The fact I plan on listening to this unironically
Dude. That’s so awesome. You mastered that kind of covers. I love the stuff you do.
Thank you for bringing truly great content, listening to all of your videos is like tapping into a parallel universe and listening to your fav bands releasing alternative songs the whatif’s of rock !! ❤
that's incredible! Mac, you are amazingly talented, loving how you capture each band so perfectly!
I really like your vocal technique, it also really sounds like 2010's Serj singing this classic by The Killers!
Found a you on a Facebook short! This is absolute 🔥🔥🔥! Took a tune I can’t stand and made it into something that it’s a thing of beauty! Smashed it mate!
I’m obsessed with this, all of it is amazing, but I’m in love with the way you did the drums in this, the verse slaps so hard 🤘
Man, I really enjoy this. It's totally been stuck in my head, thank you for doing this! You ROCK!!
This is amazing work man! Looking forward to other content!
Dude this is fucking incredible. I'm creating a playlist of all your Not-SOAD songs.
It's the new System of a Down album that we're never going to get
Absolute 10/10,
This is an absolutely phenomenal job, i cant stop listening 🔥
Looking forward to hearing more covers from you in future!
This is amazing!!! Never stop making these!!!
honestly this was not cursed i love SOAD and you did both songs justice here
Yooooo is this on Spotify? This is soooo awesome dude. Keep up the great work man!
That was.....AMAZING!
2 of my favorite things and you kept them both good. Thank you
This is really awesome, vocal harmonies and everything.
That is so on point. From the dirty fast lyrics and screams to the atmospheric chorus.
Absolutely a fkn banger, I hope you are proud of yourself for doing this!! 🤘🏻
Gonna have to make a playlist with all of these. I've enjoyed every vid so far!
Bro i never thought id ever put one of these many tracks i see by youtube creators on to a personal playlist. thats awesome and from what i see and hear youve mastered your trade
Great job this is one of the best covers I have ever heard
This is System gold! Phenomenal job, my dude. You have got so much talent.
I'd chime in with the boom da eema ugh wa da eema.
Truly enjoyed this. Thank you for creating something I didn't know I needed
So this was unexpectedly absolute fire, well done buddy!
How tf do you have such a small follower’s bro ur amazing. Huge talent to sing like that !!!
The glock flock is growing very slowly but surely. Welcome and thank you 🤘
This is really good. I saw the short version and I needed to hear the full set
This absolutely kills. Thanks for putting this together!
I keep coming back..... Serj needs to react to this
I think I've listened to this every day for the last 2 weeks. This is just the best version of this song...ever.. It's just so good.
Holy blessed music, Dude! This is probably one of the best covers I've ever heard! Awesome job
These SOAD mashups are so good. Definitely subbed for more! Keep it going!!
Dammit we need a full version!!! This is 🔥🔥🔥
An actual SOAD song isn’t much longer than this one
This might as well be a canon SOAD track. It's amazingly produced!
I can see Serj dancing to this
I swear everything you make is such a straight bop. Definitely a midas touch when it comes to music.
This is insane, please man do more SOAD inspired covers 🙏
Bro this is badass dude. I came across your tiktok and I just HAD to look for your YT channel for the full cover. This fuckin slaps dude. Rock on brother 😎😎
Please never stop this. You are amazing. This is gold.
This is amazing Mac. Absolutely legendary !

Dude, these rewrites you do are SO fuckin good. Serious kudos!!
Well this will live on in my head forever. This is awesome 😮
My wife and I would love to hear Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge in the style of SOAD! That would rule.
it was perfect, perfect. Everything done to the last minute details!
This goes sooo hard, and you have so many videos! subscribed
I want an entire album of this, no joke. I'd pay $50 for it.
System of a Down is amazing and this guy nailed it!
Look on the brightside, you didn't get downed by the system.
First time seeing this channel and this is was unexpectedly phenomenal.
