Wow! My some nights video just passed 3,000,000 views! You guys are absolutely amazing! Thank you for supporting my art! Some Nights - Fun - Peter Hollens
Peter Hollens this 1 song has changed my life. when i first heard this song just after it came out i loved it and you. this song inspired me to start singing more then in just my school choir. i would to pursue a future career in the musical arts. thank you Peter Hollens you are amazing Nick, a young a hopeful singer
Just.... Wow. I found your channel today and you are just AWESOME! I just purchased your Skyrim theme, downloaded in FLAC and took it to the record studio to hear it in best quality ;)
I just have to say... You're too cool, Peter! I have yet to see another artist film a video while driving about on a riding lawn mower, or dancing in a river!
Thanks, cause watching artists containing their joy really gets on my nerves. . .standing there all still and somber. . .Pffft! Where's the happy? Keep bringing the happy, please!!!
This was the FIRST Peter Hollens vid I ever watched, and now, i'd liked to consider myself a fully fledged fan! GO HOLLENS FAMILY!!! (I love you, Peter!)
Wow you hit that high "Oh come on!" Perfect brother. Respect bro! I was kinda scetchy about it simce this is acapella after all and. FUN uses voice enhancers. But man you blew my hat off! Great voice. Keep it up. Respect from a fellow Tenor.
This is one of my favorite songs from you. Keep up the great work! By the way, I would really love to see either "Demons" by Imagine Dragons or "We are Young" by Fun
Lol I would love to see you try out the Bohemian Rhapsody EDIT: If we get enough 1+s he might do it! EDIT2: Just passed 150+s and the video just hit 4,000,000 views!
Have to let you know, our 3 month old baby has been throwing a fit all night, but when we played this video, he calmed down, and even started trying to dance. Lol. Thank you!
Peter, Firstly, I'm a big fan and a member of the Hollens family. I'm generally impressed with the quality of your videos, your talents as a vocalist, and the sheer number of talented guest musicians you seem to work with. So, with that in mind, here are some requests, things that I'd like to see that I think some of the rest of your viewership might appreciate. 1) Do a cover of Bush's "Glycerine" with Lindsey Stirling and a talented acoustic guitarist you know(I'm sure there's someone). 2) Look up Walk Off The Earth and see if you can do something with them. That would be combining my Number 1 and Number 2 favourite TH-cam musicians into one video. 3) I'd like to hear your take on "Say Something" by A Great Big World, probably performed with your wife(who is incredibly talented as well). I think these are all excellent undertakings that you could do quite well(although the geographical problem separating you and WOTE might be difficult). Anyway, I don't expect to hear back from you, but hopefully you see this and take these ideas into consideration. Thanks a lot, and good luck to you.
I personally felt like there were certain parts in the song where his lead came off a bit weak, but overall this cover was really good. And his range is AMAZING. What Im wondering is if his uses an octavisor to lower his voice for the bass part or if he's actually hitting the notes.
Pretty sure he actually has that range. I think the weakness of his leading is a good thing, 'cause that's part of his point with the autotune bit in the middle--a lot of singers today use too much autotuning to help them hit notes that really aren't in their ranges...but Peter actually works just with his (already amazing) range.
Because YOLO. :) It's a song about hedonism, so naturally the "just because" factor would be greatly emphasized. Indeed! A fantastic version of an awesome song.
i never know how I feel about this cover because the singing itself is out of this world but the video is like a teen heart-throb boyband video xD eh, love it anyway!
I feel as if auto tune is used correctly in small increments it can be ok. I feel as if the overuse of autotune or using to cover the fact you can't sing is the worst thing that happened to music.
+Bill Stanley two negatives don't always make a positive :D kanye needs to get his ass kicked in every way possible, never heard a song of him and never will, a rapper saying he's "the greatest rockstar" says enough, and then I saw him "sing" bohemian rhapsody ... I respect rap but I can't respect people like him :p
I just wanted to say Peter, I'm a incredibly large fan of yours, as me and my girlfriend love listening to your songs, you're great, much love and God bless you sir
I love how he's just wandering around on totally random places, like out in the lake c': it's those small things that brings a smile to my face, good job!
McKenzieDaae It's entirely possible to do with your voice, too. Makes you wonder if he actually used autotune. (I mean obviously he said he did, but still.)
McKenzieDaae it really doesn't Ive listened to him unmiced in a small room and his voice really sounds like that! its got that natural autotune sound to it idk how to explain it.
If I remember correctly, this is the first video of yours that I ever watched. Whenever I feel sad I go back to your old covers and listen to them again. Feels so good always!
There is so much energy in this song and some nights I can't get to sleep with the words to it going through my head. What do I stand for? I don't know. Whoa whoah oh oh
Peter I have watched this video many many times. It's so good and I love at 2.50 where you nearly tripped. You got so into the music you forgot your surroundings. Keep up the good work x

Yes, that's why I looked for this!
Yes, I have.
Jhsvdhehehudheuuehddheie

You and your 15 identical looking brothers are amazing!
Lol
Haha this is my new favorite comment!
Lol. Yes.
Very underrated comment needs to blow up more
I agree with you😂
Wow! My some nights video just passed 3,000,000 views! You guys are absolutely amazing! Thank you for supporting my art! Some Nights - Fun - Peter Hollens
I just love this song :) and you made it even better *****
Great voice, excellent video, awesome music ***** !
Dude! I will forever think of you while mowing the lawn. ;P Great job, dude! Oh, and was that Mt. Pisgah is Springfield, OR?
nice job
Congrats!
It seems like just yesterday this came out! Still just as good now as it was then!
Almost 10 years after the making and im still a huge fan
So cool that he has 4 identical brothers where they all love music :P
+ChristerD McH XD this made me laugh a lot
+🔥TheSillyGirl3000🔥 You won't have to wait that long, it's just a problem of legality.
Yeah... They look soooo alike! They sing the same too.
+ChristerD McH i honestly believed that! that took me awhile to realize it is a joke XD
Well I just tried to sing along while laughing with this comment.
The singing part didn't work out that well.
I like how you left the part where you lost balance in at 2:54 :)
bruce88lee hahah
How'd I just notice that? lol
Lmao
Hands down, the BEST COVER on TH-cam.....Get this guy a contract now!
Santa_Clause TOTALLY
Ikr
+Santa_Clause Maybe you can give him a contract for christmas, santa
XD
+AUDO3000 and ChuckleNuts he should
Literally chills
music doesn't have to have a meaning. its the feeling that you get from hearing it. not the words behind it! everyone feel the feels
I completely forgot about this song. I started to cry when I heard it cuz I have such a strong connection to this song 🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭
Mr. Peter Holland, this is fantastic. The way you sped up the song really made it so fun! You are amazing!!!
Peter, you shouldn't be thanking us it is your amazing voice
You should do carry on my wayward son, by Kansas. Anyone else agree?
Omg yes
Yes yes yes yes.
Devon Stewart oh that could be awesome !
Devon Stewart A thousand thumbs to that!
Devon Stewart please yes please....
If you wanna have some fun, screw around with the speed settings in the settings ;) . . .
True that
haha.. or maybe slowmo @ 3:15...!!! XD
speed: 0.5
Clifford Montes that sounds like T-pain autotune lol
Singit500 I'm sure I'll have a lot of "FUN"!
Singit500 you just made my life complete!!
Random Lawnmower. Forgot how great this cover is, think this I was the first hollens vid i saw. Great energy.
my first was him with lindsey stirling in skyrim
+Vexurath same
+Vexurath yeh
It is so obvious that u enjoy what u do but I still want to thank u for sharing ur gift with us
how can possibly 900 people dislike this perfection
because they don't have his talent so they don't like him is my best guess
+Artem Shestakov Mayb it's because the video that shows how he made this music video shows him not actually singing. That's my best guess.
+Artem Shestakov It's 898 now
I dunno, maybe haters? I don't know how they could push the dislike button...
Whenever I see a comment like this I say "look at the likes" :)
Brilliant!!!! ))
I can't stop staring at his tie xD
Christie-Ann Snelling Nova pls.
Jesse Kielman
Aleks pls
Christie-Ann Snelling IKR OMG
Christie-Ann Snelling i love his eye's o_O
ikr
Peter Hollens
this 1 song has changed my life. when i first heard this song just after it came out i loved it and you. this song inspired me to start singing more then in just my school choir. i would to pursue a future career in the musical arts.
thank you Peter Hollens you are amazing

I just have to say... You're too cool, Peter! I have yet to see another artist film a video while driving about on a riding lawn mower, or dancing in a river!
God sure was in a good mood the day He made You...
AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO CREATING SUCH MAGIC WE WILL BE RIGHT HERE WATCHING AND LISTENS.
Thanks, cause watching artists containing their joy really gets on my nerves. . .standing there all still and somber. . .Pffft! Where's the happy? Keep bringing the happy, please!!!
Who needs One Direction when you have 5 perfectly cloned Peter Hollens?(Hollenses? xD)
Exactly XD
Who needs one direction period! Peter Hollens is an excellent bonus though! lol
BlueParrot Games this is not one direction
Cucumbers
r/wooosh
This song was made by Fun.
I think it's better than the original in some sense.
So positive, so powerful! And love the autotune diss!
This was the FIRST Peter Hollens vid I ever watched, and now, i'd liked to consider myself a fully fledged fan! GO HOLLENS FAMILY!!! (I love you, Peter!)
Wow you hit that high "Oh come on!" Perfect brother. Respect bro! I was kinda scetchy about it simce this is acapella after all and. FUN uses voice enhancers. But man you blew my hat off! Great voice. Keep it up. Respect from a fellow Tenor.
How did you make the trees with the human mouth though?
you make almost everything better
To say Peter Hollens can sing is an understatement in its self. I've heard good singers, but this man is certianly tops among my list. He can sing
This is one of my favorite songs from you. Keep up the great work! By the way, I would really love to see either "Demons" by Imagine Dragons or "We are Young" by Fun
Agree with that
Haha that auto tune thing made me laugh😂 LOVED the whole song! Well done 😄
Don't worry. Those goosebumps will go away in about 10 minutes.
Well done luv your music
Four years later, still a major fan. Love that I'm been following you for so many years
"…and some claps. Yeah." xD
Amazing!
I know right? I'll try MUCH harder next time! :) Sorry to disappoint you. I was going for 100 arm flails, but I got a cramp.
Peter Hollens , I think you did just fine. You really slayed this!
yea that really goes with the song style
Excellent arm swinging technique. 10/10.
Lol I would love to see you try out the Bohemian Rhapsody
EDIT: If we get enough 1+s he might do it!
EDIT2: Just passed 150+s and the video just hit 4,000,000 views!
i think he has or was that mystery guitar man?
Oh my god yes!!! PLEASE!!
Whenever I make a good comment it will get 40 like ups then stop...
YES! PLEASE!
YES!
😂😂 lol "AUTOTUNE: ON" just made my day!
Is is just me when he says "They sound like this one" it sounds like he is saying "They sound like a swan"?
Nope. I just heard that as well. o.O
+Surbhi Rao "They sound like a swan" IS the actual lyric.
Leedark3 Oh haha thats great. I just searched the lyrics. Thanks!
+Surbhi Rao I was confused... Even at the real lyrics... A swan?
Sydte a Haha exactly
Have to let you know, our 3 month old baby has been throwing a fit all night, but when we played this video, he calmed down, and even started trying to dance. Lol. Thank you!
cool it's the the best song on youtube i think awsome
Can you and Evynne do 'Love is an Open Door' from Frozen?
*****
It would be... :D
OMG....yes please!!
YAAAAS
Jamie Hoffmann YAAAAAS see ive gotten 50 1 thingys on google DO ET
DO EEEEEET
HOLY SHIT! you are amazing! this is my favorite song by fun, and I prefer you over the original :)
I like him better than the original too
This song suddenly popped in my head a few minutes ago and had to look it up =)
Peter,
Firstly, I'm a big fan and a member of the Hollens family. I'm generally impressed with the quality of your videos, your talents as a vocalist, and the sheer number of talented guest musicians you seem to work with.

Thanks a lot, and good luck to you.
Yes please for number 2 :)
Awesome! All this and a riding mower! :)
The riding lawnmower kills me, lol.
Omg please more of this awesome blessed energy!!! Light up the world!!!! Now and forever!!!! Bless You
I personally felt like there were certain parts in the song where his lead came off a bit weak, but overall this cover was really good. And his range is AMAZING. What Im wondering is if his uses an octavisor to lower his voice for the bass part or if he's actually hitting the notes.

Ben Rosenbaum I personally feel your wrong.
I love this!
Not sure why you're driving a lawnmower in parts though...
Because YOLO. :) It's a song about hedonism, so naturally the "just because" factor would be greatly emphasized.
Indeed! A fantastic version of an awesome song.
He should definitely team up with Pentatonix. That would be amazing. They both have worked with Lindsey Stirling
One of my favorites by Peter Hollens.... Thank you Peter!
i never know how I feel about this cover because the singing itself is out of this world but the video is like a teen heart-throb boyband video xD eh, love it anyway!
I think that was the point ^.^, he was making fun of it
u got a new subscriber !!!!
oooh.... I love this song n I love the way you sing it....thanks for the beautiful voice Peter...
I just need to ask why he`s riding on a tractor.....
Surbhi Rao For fun. Now for the real question, why is he wandering around a field for no apparent reason?
why not get some chores done why your at it
Zigglegarf looking for his tractor
or why he's just wading torso-deep in a river?
or why he's wading in a river
Could you maybe make a version of Good Time from Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen?
I actually like this better than the original song
its great bc he PG'd it :D
Though i wish he cut out the autotune lol
I love that you covered some songs from FUN. I love them! Thank you Peter. I love everything you do! You are JOY!
I would like to hear you do immortal by fall out boys
I second this.
I do, Peter. I think autotune is the worst invention in music.
Great video, by you! ;)
I feel as if auto tune is used correctly in small increments it can be ok. I feel as if the overuse of autotune or using to cover the fact you can't sing is the worst thing that happened to music.
+lesser260 Maybe Kanye West could use auto tune... PLEASE!!
+Bill Stanley two negatives don't always make a positive :D kanye needs to get his ass kicked in every way possible, never heard a song of him and never will, a rapper saying he's "the greatest rockstar" says enough, and then I saw him "sing" bohemian rhapsody ...

This was posted the day I was born June 9 2012 😂
I just wanted to say Peter, I'm a incredibly large fan of yours, as me and my girlfriend love listening to your songs, you're great, much love and God bless you sir
Better than original :)
+samuel creed His songs are better than the originals! Love this guy!
+Heather Smith yeah. ALWAYS
Don't do drugs,do Peter Hollens.......wait that sounded wrong.
HEY sorry... hes married.
That ring can be taken off any time... :P
Vexurath nonono youre right
LMAO
I love how your just riding a lawn mower hahahaha
I love how he's just wandering around on totally random places, like out in the lake c': it's those small things that brings a smile to my face, good job!
Give a like if you love nate reuss's album Grand romantic, if you never heard of it go check it out
;D autotune, i love your happy spirit
Well, the original drips autotune...
McKenzieDaae It's entirely possible to do with your voice, too. Makes you wonder if he actually used autotune.
(I mean obviously he said he did, but still.)
McKenzieDaae it really doesn't Ive listened to him unmiced in a small room and his voice really sounds like that! its got that natural autotune sound to it idk how to explain it.
Adam Richardson oh like Roomie?
HAHA! Love that auto-tune!
I just found this and am sooo obsessed!!!!!
just... the tractor... and wading in the river
Peter hollens...
I know for most people it's not a big deal, but thank you for replacing the f word. I love this song, but I hate that word!!! THANK YOU!!
Quickly this one is getting to be one of my favorites, I love it when you get active. You stand for enjoyment with your followers.
LAWNMOWER lawnmower.
too much Soaryn :D
Yup. If he ever changes the song at the beginning of the stream, I am going to be very sad :D
Yndostrui Are you now sad, he doesn't always use this on the start :I
Mizek Keli#BecauseSoaryn ;) Awesome Song btw!
lol sounds like the original if not better
way better
So much better
TheWolleZ yap
those who compare original song and a cover are RETARDs in my eyes
s1lent ohhhhh wow can you shut up?
I absolutely cannot get enough of this guy. He's amazing.
i hear some drums...HE LIED TO ME ITS NOT ALL BY MOUTH D:
your music got me through some tough times, thank you Peter
Dude you have what I call a golden voice.... just so listenable......
You are so right about auto-tune. There is so much about the human voice that is so amazing. Thank you for sharing yours!
That... was AWESOME! I think I'm in the low 20's of watching this on repeat.
I can't get enough of this mans music. He is GOOD.
One of the things I love most about the way you perform is the amount of fun you seem to have, your enthusiasm for what you do is infectious!
So fun how Peter can take a song that has sad lyrics and turn them into such a happy song. This guy's inner zen just keeps popping out! :)
If I remember correctly, this is the first video of yours that I ever watched. Whenever I feel sad I go back to your old covers and listen to them again. Feels so good always!
love the lawn mower! You are truly amazing
There is so much energy in this song and some nights I can't get to sleep with the words to it going through my head. What do I stand for? I don't know. Whoa whoah oh oh
Were listening....we understand and enjoy listen when you sing....again and again forever....!!!!
I want to thank you, Peter. This song is the first song I heard from you, and it still inspires me from time to time and keeps me going on.
Ah!!! fun.!!!!! It always makes me so happy when I see people cover my cousin's work. Great job!
Officially my favorite version of this song, by far! Thank you for sharing.
Peter I have watched this video many many times. It's so good and I love at 2.50 where you nearly tripped. You got so into the music you forgot your surroundings. Keep up the good work x
