I am really sorry, but I do not take requests! If you wanna vote on my next batch of covers, you can join my Patreon, linked in the video description 💚 I love you all, bye!
Fuck man, that ending had me in tears. Whenever I think of the one person this song reminds me of (and everyone has one), that's exactly the way I feel.
Absolutely didn’t expect this level of emotion when I clicked on this lol. I hope this performance served as a catharsis for anything youre struggling with
I've been following your content for a long time now. This easily showed me more raw emotion than any other cover you've done. I loved it. Thank you for sharing it with us
I've been coming back to this almost daily since it came out just to hear that second half of the cover. The power and emotion behind it. You feel every note he hits. It shoots through you and puts you in his shoes. You feel what he felt recording this. Its almost enough to bring you to tears.
I rewatched this video and remembered I made a comment. I'm in recovery for trauma and a lot of other stuff now. I've gotten better at sensing pain. The agony in your voice and face just brought tears to my eyes. I hope your scars will heal, just know that you're not alone.
Absolute chills man. I haven’t had this kind of feeling since I heard Jonathan Davis for the first time. Many times people have tried to imitate him but you are probably the first one to hit the same level on your own without copying anyone or him and just by being YOU.
So much emotion.. you truly have evolved your voice and it’s unique. Gave me goosebumps man, it was all in sync. You’re body, voice, Emotion everything. Well done
Honestly a serious mood for me right now with the day that I've had... it's almost like you knew, Justin. Thank you. The emotions at the end are mutual.
Your channel came from nowhere to me a few months ago. Amazing, I can feel, Hear, and See that it's not just you're voice in this covers, it's your soul. I think that's why u don't accept suggestions.
Beautiful. I am happy to say that you made me shed some tears at the end there too - finally got to let out a lot of feelings holding me down. Cheers 'til the next one
"Dead as dead can be," my doctor tells me But I just can't believe him, ever the optimistic one I'm sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy Wake up and face me, don't play dead cause maybe Someday I will walk away and say, "You disappoint me" Maybe you're better off this way Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been It's your right and your ability To become… my perfect enemy… Wake up (why can't you) and face me (come on now) Don't play dead (don't play dead) Cause maybe (because maybe) Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and say, "You disappoint me" Maybe you're better off this way Maybe you're better off this way Maybe you're better off this way Maybe you're better off this way You're better off this; you're better off this Maybe you're better off!

Why can't you turn and face me? Why can't you turn and face me? You fucking disappoint me! Passive aggressive bullshit...
I think you are doing a great job. Even with all these negative comments, I think you are truely great at what you are doing. When you started crying, my heart ached. I felt your sadness. Be strong friend. You've got alot of awesome things coming your way.
I don't see many negative comments, but if you have a certain number of viewers it's inevitable. You can't please everyone, I'm just glad Justin is appreciated by most of the viewers.
I have goosebumps. Absolute chills. I've seen some of your videos before - but this?: I think you did this song better justice than Maynard ever has. You're amazing. This is amazing.
Hey Justin, I really love your covers and your emotions, when you sing - you never cease to please and surprise with your unique vocals. (sorry for bad english, if i do some mistakes in my comment)

Okay I legit keep coming back to this. It's a great song, but man justin you knocked this like not out of the park but out of the planet. You are so amazing
You're a real light in the darkness man. Performances like this, during times like these, remind me why it's worth fighting to stay afloat. Thank you for putting so much effort and thought into these covers, it makes all the difference in the world
Seeing the emotion in this makes me really excited to see you do a live vocal playthrough of Cowardice one day, whenever you find the time to catch up on the Hungry Lights playthroughs. The energy in this reminds me a lot of the emotion you put in TG&M
Justin, you are absolutely amazing to listen to. I love the work you put into the performances you give us. The sheer amount of emotion that you put into your screams and such always makes the song that you're singing to me resonate better to a more understandable, I dont know how to say it correctly, other then when I hear you sing I somehow understand the song better. It's an odd thing to say but oh well lol. Anyways man keep up the good work and can't wait to hear more stuff from Hungry Lights.
Hey man, I just want to say thank you for continuing to do these over the years It's been probably over 10 years now since your last A Perfect circle cover and dear god I loved it so much I still have it saved in my video's folder on my PC and the 10 year wait for another A Perfect Circle cover was worth it your voice is so perfect for this style and I absolutely love it, thank you so much for continuing to do these, Tallah do be slaying things too! Much love from a random lurker
Definitely subbed after this one bro. The added emotion and screaming you did is basically the way I always heard this song in my head lol thanks for making that a reality. Keep up the great work my friend!
I've been watching all your videos and I think this is the best just from the raw emotion at the end......plus you took the song eons better than original
My man put all his soul into the cover, I'm sure MJK would be proud of this! I might go as far to say, you might have ruined the original for me. Keep up the good work and passion mate!
You sang it like it was personal. You whimpered like it was personal too. If somethings up in your personal life i hope you get through it. I could here it in your voice, it made me feel sad. Its a brave thing to upload a personal moment, and I respect that. And you did an amazing cover too, one of my favorite bands. I can only imagine what apc’s other songs would sound like!
Yo my guy this really hit. I don't think I've ever seen someone sing something with this much emotion anywhere. Your voice sounds FANTASTIC I wish to hear more of you if anything sounded better than Maynard on this cover.
this cover is so raw and real feeling . i felt every single word and scream and yell in my soul the whole time watching this. your vocals and performances never fail to impress me every time dude
What makes these so entertaining is just all the things he does before singing:> Edit:That crying hit me, I hope this man is ok, but that was true emotion.
Justin, man. I've been a fan of Tallah for a while now, but I'm just now learning about your youtube channel. I've loved APC since I was a kid, and this take was wrenching, powerful, and beautiful. This is what I hope to be capable of one day. I just want you to know I loved this, man.
and odd coincidence i listened to daddy by korn at like 3 a.m..... at the end JD breaks down for real.. in fact he was emotional even from the start...u can hear it when he first says SON... @@evanblake5252
I am really sorry, but I do not take requests! If you wanna vote on my next batch of covers, you can join my Patreon, linked in the video description 💚 I love you all, bye!
My mans died before the song even started and then came back to sing it
He was channeling his inner maynard hahhahaa
Because maybe he could disappoint you
Yes! I love A Perfect Circle.
"I went somewhere else during the end of the performance", don't worry you weren't the only one
Fuck man, that ending had me in tears.
Whenever I think of the one person this song reminds me of (and everyone has one), that's exactly the way I feel.
This will always be my favorite cover.
"Sorry for the flat notes at the end"
_Proceeds to give emotional af, 10/10 performance with fuggin' badass vocals_
Don't be sorry at all. It's great, adds some personalization to the music. Keep up the great work. We all support you
I can’t tell if it’s to take the seriousness away or to play into it hard 😂
Absolutely didn’t expect this level of emotion when I clicked on this lol. I hope this performance served as a catharsis for anything youre struggling with
I hope your ok man. Going to check out your original stuff. Great performance
I've been following your content for a long time now. This easily showed me more raw emotion than any other cover you've done. I loved it. Thank you for sharing it with us
Good god I could FEEL the sadness and hatred coming from the ending... You absolutely killed it!!!
Oml I geniunely thought you were gonna kill someone nearing the end of the song - but the raw emotion is incredible!
I love the Maynard impersonation at the beginning
First 10 years now A Perfect Circle. Mannnn you spoil us.
And Mayan Factor! Sweet baby jesus
This is honestly the best vocal cover i've ever seen anyone do. Gives me chills every time. Fucking amazing job man, fucking amazing.
I've been coming back to this almost daily since it came out just to hear that second half of the cover. The power and emotion behind it. You feel every note he hits. It shoots through you and puts you in his shoes. You feel what he felt recording this. Its almost enough to bring you to tears.
So much passion and emotion was put into this video. After seeing that end, I really hope you're alright, Justin
I rewatched this video and remembered I made a comment. I'm in recovery for trauma and a lot of other stuff now. I've gotten better at sensing pain. The agony in your voice and face just brought tears to my eyes. I hope your scars will heal, just know that you're not alone.
Damn man. If that’s acting, that’s also something else you could get into. That was a real emotional rollercoaster, fantastic cover
Dude. I could feel that emotion at the end.
Absolute chills man. I haven’t had this kind of feeling since I heard Jonathan Davis for the first time. Many times people have tried to imitate him but you are probably the first one to hit the same level on your own without copying anyone or him and just by being YOU.
So much emotion.. you truly have evolved your voice and it’s unique. Gave me goosebumps man, it was all in sync. You’re body, voice, Emotion everything. Well done
Justin you are a gift to the others, Said enough 🤘🙏
Honestly a serious mood for me right now with the day that I've had... it's almost like you knew, Justin. Thank you. The emotions at the end are mutual.
Your channel came from nowhere to me a few months ago. Amazing, I can feel, Hear, and See that it's not just you're voice in this covers, it's your soul. I think that's why u don't accept suggestions.

I love the intensity, great cover, thank you so much.
Wow, that was mind blowing, it hurts so much... I love the feeling you bring to this song.
Man, I felt that. That was raw emotion at the end. Blew me away!
That was pretty damn impressive. Well done sir.
This is passion!!! This is LOVE!!. Thanks.
He covered one of my favorite songs in the best way, he brought the rawness and rage that's hard to find and so real
Aside from rawness and rage, I also feel a lot of exhaustion and grief from this one.
"Dead as dead can be," my doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him, ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don't play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, "You disappoint me"
Maybe you're better off this way
Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become… my perfect enemy…
Wake up (why can't you) and face me (come on now)
Don't play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and say, "You disappoint me"
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
Maybe you're better off this way
You're better off this; you're better off this
Maybe you're better off!
Wake up (can't you) and face me (come on now)
Don't play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I'll (someday I'll) walk away and say, "You fucking disappoint me!"
Maybe you're better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!
Passive aggressive bullshit...
Just slowly falling to the floor, reminds me of my grades except those never came back up.
Hell yes
Man I can't stop listening to this and your other stuff.
I love a perfect circle and fell in love with you.
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands...amazing cover!
I think you are doing a great job. Even with all these negative comments, I think you are truely great at what you are doing. When you started crying, my heart ached. I felt your sadness. Be strong friend. You've got alot of awesome things coming your way.
I don't see many negative comments, but if you have a certain number of viewers it's inevitable. You can't please everyone, I'm just glad Justin is appreciated by most of the viewers.
Luckily the negative comments are drowned in an ocean of positivity
Amazing track, wonderful cover.
I would truly listen to a hungry lights cover of nearly any song imaginable
Your voice brings me to another dimension... Thank you!!!
Good god, the goosebumps in the end.
the raw emotion... holy shit
There is seriously nobody on Earth capable of going blow for blow with Justin in terms of passion in the voice and performance.
I have goosebumps. Absolute chills. I've seen some of your videos before - but this?: I think you did this song better justice than Maynard ever has.
You're amazing. This is amazing.
Like - I need this in my phone library.
Thank you, Justin, for your pure emotions and everything you do. Just keep on being who you are. Huge respect and appreciation.
Hey Justin, I really love your covers and your emotions, when you sing - you never cease to please and surprise with your unique vocals. (sorry for bad english, if i do some mistakes in my comment)
That English was damn near perfect, don't sweat it man.
The passion u use for every song but this hits me also!!! 👏🏾 bravo!!! Love your vids!!
The sheer, raw emotion behind your voice speaks volumes, man. This was beautiful, what an amazing rendition of this song. Stay gold, Ponyboy.

Okay I legit keep coming back to this. It's a great song, but man justin you knocked this like not out of the park but out of the planet. You are so amazing
Mad respect. As emotional as you got you kept composure and finished when most couldn’t.
Got really excited as I saw you covered THIS masterpiece 😍😍
I almost didn't click on this video.
And I'm glad I listened. 👌👌
been watching for a few years now, he really has developed and perfected his own sound. Beautiful.
You're a real light in the darkness man. Performances like this, during times like these, remind me why it's worth fighting to stay afloat.
Thank you for putting so much effort and thought into these covers, it makes all the difference in the world
I'm so glad someone made a cover to this and you did it so well
Seeing the emotion in this makes me really excited to see you do a live vocal playthrough of Cowardice one day, whenever you find the time to catch up on the Hungry Lights playthroughs. The energy in this reminds me a lot of the emotion you put in TG&M
Wow!! Amazing cover 🤘🏼🔥👌🏼
I love your energy man. Also very nice double spiral logo you have :-)
Spiral Out!
The emotion, passion, energy, performance, everything, on another level. Justin how do you nail it so damn often!? You're OP.
I love it! You even do the weird movements Maynard does perfect!! Love from Florida.
Justin, you are absolutely amazing to listen to. I love the work you put into the performances you give us. The sheer amount of emotion that you put into your screams and such always makes the song that you're singing to me resonate better to a more understandable, I dont know how to say it correctly, other then when I hear you sing I somehow understand the song better.

I get chills every time I listen to this one.
One of my favorite artists on TH-cam covering my favorite APC song.. I can die happy now
Dude... you rock. and you're very unique and Hilarious intros
It's awesome. 🙌
Its like chester and maynard had a son!

Agreed!
Chester does have a son who looks very similar to him, he is 18 now
Ha.....Ha.......heh...
I honestly cried! Love from Florida.
Hey man, I just want to say thank you for continuing to do these over the years It's been probably over 10 years now since your last A Perfect circle cover and dear god I loved it so much I still have it saved in my video's folder on my PC and the 10 year wait for another A Perfect Circle cover was worth it your voice is so perfect for this style and I absolutely love it, thank you so much for continuing to do these, Tallah do be slaying things too!
Much love from a random lurker
Boy, if anyone deserved a like, it was this guy. Damn. Such passion and effort.
I needed this cover. This whole performance is how I feel about someone I thought I could trust. Thank you, Justin.
Definitely subbed after this one bro. The added emotion and screaming you did is basically the way I always heard this song in my head lol thanks for making that a reality. Keep up the great work my friend!
This is the cover you've done that I never even knew I needed. Thank you, Hungry Covers!
The power in this one; my goodness gracious. This was cathartic to watch, dude! 🙌🙌 n a i l e d it
My man, this must have been a song that you feel close to your heart, and it cannot be unseen, it's been mesmerizing, great 💪
I've been watching all your videos and I think this is the best just from the raw emotion at the end......plus you took the song eons better than original
My man put all his soul into the cover, I'm sure MJK would be proud of this! I might go as far to say, you might have ruined the original for me. Keep up the good work and passion mate!
Now that’s how I want covers to be done. With 1000% passion.
1/3 of the time I want to hear this song, I come back here. Really a beautiful cover that visually and vocally stands the test of time.
My favorite APC song! Thanks for making it better!
You sang it like it was personal. You whimpered like it was personal too. If somethings up in your personal life i hope you get through it. I could here it in your voice, it made me feel sad. Its a brave thing to upload a personal moment, and I respect that. And you did an amazing cover too, one of my favorite bands. I can only imagine what apc’s other songs would sound like!
Thanks whoever liked my comment, in glad i wasnt the only person feel this kind of
Connection between the singer and song.
The emotion you gave off to this made me tear up lol. Killed it as always
Yo my guy this really hit. I don't think I've ever seen someone sing something with this much emotion anywhere. Your voice sounds FANTASTIC I wish to hear more of you if anything sounded better than Maynard on this cover.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat... that was insane 😲 THANKYOU TH-cam algorithm 🙏🏻
this cover is so raw and real feeling . i felt every single word and scream and yell in my soul the whole time watching this. your vocals and performances never fail to impress me every time dude
One of my favourite artists covering one of my favourite songs
That was amazing bud... Great job
This may be your best work yet. Wow. Friend, you are a legend.
Absolutely beautiful man. I wish these were on spotify!!
I swear, I find a new song to listen to all the time and then you come around and do a cover on it! Amazing as always. ♥️♥️
What makes these so entertaining is just all the things he does before singing:>
Edit:That crying hit me, I hope this man is ok, but that was true emotion.
I didn't know about this song till I heard you perform it on stream one time. Lovely to hear it again.
Holy shit, the emotion in this....
so emotional
Justin, man. I've been a fan of Tallah for a while now, but I'm just now learning about your youtube channel. I've loved APC since I was a kid, and this take was wrenching, powerful, and beautiful. This is what I hope to be capable of one day. I just want you to know I loved this, man.
You did good today. Proud of you
This is by far the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song, and definitely of any APC song. It’s so full of emotion and genuine love of the material.
damn dude, this is brilliant, the acting, your voice it`s so acurate to the original and you give your style at the end, fuah what a perfect cover!!!
Dude your Maynard covers are perfect. That the pot cover you did with that other guy was freaking awesome and this is even better.
I don't know much of you. But that was genuinely awesome.
Holy shit...are you ok? Am I ok? This blew me away! I need to breathe.
Nobody is okay after this one, and that's okay.
