Tim, you're a pioneer. You inspire creativity, and interest in true musicianship in a world where that's rare. Keep exploring the beauty of your individualism. Edit: And you're surrounded by all the right bandmates. You guys have revived rock n roll.
An R&B collab album with guest voice talent would be pretty sick. I think it's totally fine to release albums that aren't directly aligned with your usual sound/genre as side projects. Call it Polyphia - B-Side or whatever. This track clearly still has a Tim Henson flare to it, I don't care that it's not the Prog Rock/Prog Metal/Math Rock/etc. that I 'expect'. Hearing Scott and the Clays lay down their own jam track to this would be awesome -- there's so much meat to the bass line and drums on the original track, and clearly enough to riff on the melody for both Tim and Scott to do their stuff.
That multivoicer never gets old but I especially love the ones like this where it’s subtle and just highlighting how vocal the guitar melodies are, and especially when you and Scott or just your loops have a nice call and response. I’ve always thought you guys had really cool RATATAT vibes except modern and prog lol
My hat is off to you Tim! You found a way to make people listen to creative interpretations of popular songs. I spent a lot of years in high school and college trying to figure out how to do what you did and I am truly humbled and impressed by your virtuosic talent and creative execution to the extent that I couldn’t let another moment pass without communicating that to you. I send videos of Ployphia to my band members to beg them to cover your stuff (as the drummer, I’m the only one who can play it {no offense to Clay- who I revere above most as one of the greats of our generation}). Sorry for the weird punctuation but my second degree was in English after theatre/music performance didn’t yield spectacular results.
I found you and polyphia a few months ago, I always wanted to play guitar but never actually went out and tried it. Well because of you and Cory Wong i decided to go get a guitar and start learning it and it was the best thing I've done in years. My only regret is not starting ealier. Though i may never be able to play like you its my dream to be able to. Keep rocking on!
Your mesmerizing guitar skills always transport us to a musical paradise. Each note is a masterpiece, making every listening experience a true blessing. 🎸✨
Lyrics for sing along Groovy cover, nice vibes Boy, I've been watching you like the hawk in the sky That fly, but you were my prey (my prey) Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin' heads I know that one of these days (days) We gon' hook it up probably we talk on the phone But see, I don't know if that's good I've been holdin' back this secret from you I probably shouldn't tell it, but But if I, if I let you know You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody Are you responsible? Boy, I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody Is it my go? Is it your go? Sometimes I'm goody-goody Right now I'm naughty-naughty Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody Tell me you're that somebody? Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now Up the block, while everyone (sleep, sleep, sleep) I'll be waiting there with my trench, my locs, my hat Just so I'm low-key If you tell the world (don't speak, you know that would be weak) Oh, boy, see I'm trusting you with my heart, my soul I probably shouldn't let you But if I, If I let this go You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody I hope you're responsible Boy, I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody Is it my go? Is it your go? Sometimes I'm goody-goody Right now naughty-naughty Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody Tell me you're that somebody
Thank you so effing much Tim I’m jamming along with ya on my THBB-10 and thinking about so many remix ideas! It’s goes EVH and then TH in my book! Papa bless 🙏🏻
I miss the old days of going to shows to see Chiodos, Whitechapel, ABR etc. Back then you could see the best bands making music at small clubs for $15 and go home sweaty + satisfied. Would have loved to see Tim back then. This sound back then. Those sounds and metal bands were fundamental to the modern sounds here, but that atmosphere and time with this playing would have been transcendent.
Fuck yesss man! If I was this good at guitar i'd be doing the same thing, covering classic R&B hits and incorporating a lot of funk and hiphop elements in my music mixed with some spicy hardcore. Loved this.
In just moments Danny Yau will probably have a cover already.
He's already editing the video as we speak
He releases them before the originals are released. It was probably uploaded 10 minutes ago
Lollllll
The legend say that Danny was just waiting Tim to post 1st
🤣
An R&B Polyphia record would go insane
💯
@zamariellll🙌
Dream collab for me would be Polyphia and Jasmine Sullivan. Maybe someday. Take my money already, please.
1:07 Now that’s very pleasing to my ear. And the harmonies throughout in separate ears (with headphones obviously) are immaculate
FR!
wow!
If the next album is RnB inspired then it’s going to be insane 🤯
I always feel like ego death could’ve had The Weeknd on it
A lot the music already is 🤟🏾👌🏾
Their songs has always been RnB inspired !
@@josiahlofton6415 bruh what
@@MrDivagation my dream collaboration right there!
This song has always slapped, glad to hear Tim bringing it to the new generation
You really brought out those vocal notes flawlessly, it's perfect.
Even on the guitar u can tell it's a timbaland beat. So good!
This makes me sad bc the music world was sooooo good when Timbaland was behind it all. I miss it. The young kids just don’t know 😢
Best guitarist right now covering one of the best r&b singer ever
Yesss Tim!! Here’s to the hopes of an R&B cover album ❤ ❤
Fkn neeeeeed one!
LOVE this idea!, and get Luke Holland back for some of that drum magic he did with Ariana Grande's "Positions".
Lowkey kinda want an entire R&B album now
Sounds sick this never fails to make some heat
Was one of my favourite songs for years when I was 12.
That thumbnail goes hard 🔥 In a perfect world Aaliyah in her prime would’ve collabed with Tim. 🕊️
What a tribute and well done cover. Can hear your/Polyphia's signature sound still. So sickkk. Love it!
Dope cover! RIP Aaliyah ❤
Yay more random tim Henson covers ❤
Can't believe how little traction this cover gets - its such a banger - and such a throwback to an amazing artist!
I felt a tear running down my leg😢
🤨😏
😳
🫠
This is genius! Replacing the vocals with riffs 🤯
Listen to the violin version of Moses Sumney's "Doomed". It is absolutely beautiful. Violin instead of vocals. Perfection.
Tim, you're a pioneer. You inspire creativity, and interest in true musicianship in a world where that's rare. Keep exploring the beauty of your individualism.

bro’s not even glazing anymore, he’s doing flips on it 💀

Hop off it Casey 💀💀

Yes officer, that's the retarded genZ'er I was talking about, arrest him
@@TheGiorno you just come to comments to hate? You must be a very happy person.
Tim you're insane! We need these covers to be put up on spotify ASAP!!!!
this is sick
I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO BE HERE THIS EARLY. One of my favorite musicians covering one of my favorite songs!
As someone who was a huge Aaliyah fan back in the day(wearing her on my shirt as I type lol), I loved this. You're always killin' it, Tim!
Omg he nailed this track!! Gave me the chills hearing this!! Please do more R&B covers Tim!!!!

OMG I LOVE AALIYAH! Your cover is definitely so dope!!! LOVELOVELOVE to hear that electric guitar version by you!!! 🖤⚡ GORGEOUS.
This touched my soul, R.I.P Aaliyah ❤
This is so freaking awesome! I never would've thought you covered Aaliyah before, but here we are! I love this
Can't stop myself from replaying it again and again!
Well done, incredible Tim 🔥
This was killer! Randomly stumbled upon this channel, and I’m living for these
Your mesmerizing guitar skills always transport us to a musical paradise. Each note is a masterpiece, making every listening experience a true blessing. 🎸✨
Let’s go another banger (haven’t finished watching yet)
Wish this was the full song. Such a great interpretation.
ive always loved this song, it sounds so killer in this style
Amazing! Thank you for this great rendition down memory lane.
Well damn...thats 🔥
RIP Aaliyah.
This made my day
For real ! Me too, I didn't expected that. That's awesome ❤
Lyrics for sing along
Groovy cover, nice vibes
Boy, I've been watching you like the hawk in the sky
That fly, but you were my prey (my prey)
Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin' heads
I know that one of these days (days)
We gon' hook it up probably we talk on the phone
But see, I don't know if that's good
I've been holdin' back this secret from you
I probably shouldn't tell it, but
But if I, if I let you know
You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
Are you responsible?
Boy, I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now I'm naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody?
Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now
Up the block, while everyone (sleep, sleep, sleep)
I'll be waiting there with my trench, my locs, my hat
Just so I'm low-key
If you tell the world (don't speak, you know that would be weak)
Oh, boy, see I'm trusting you with my heart, my soul
I probably shouldn't let you
But if I, If I let this go
You can't tell nobody, I'm talkin' 'bout nobody
I hope you're responsible
Boy, I gotta watch my back, 'cause I'm not just anybody
Is it my go? Is it your go?
Sometimes I'm goody-goody
Right now naughty-naughty
Say yes or say no, 'cause I really need somebody
Tell me you're that somebody
Wow he even captured the subtle dynamics that Aaliyah imparted on the chorus. brilliant 🔥
Somehow in my heart, I knew you knew this gal and her glory. RIP Liyah
Thank you so effing much Tim I’m jamming along with ya on my THBB-10 and thinking about so many remix ideas! It’s goes EVH and then TH in my book! Papa bless 🙏🏻
LETS GO! Tim and the princess of R&B
I miss the old days of going to shows to see Chiodos, Whitechapel, ABR etc. Back then you could see the best bands making music at small clubs for $15 and go home sweaty + satisfied. Would have loved to see Tim back then. This sound back then. Those sounds and metal bands were fundamental to the modern sounds here, but that atmosphere and time with this playing would have been transcendent.
I saw them in '18 opening for Coheed and Cambria with Saves the day at the Hammerstein Ballroom. They stole the show.
The Detroit show at royal oak music theatre a couple months ago was $25 a ticket had a blast
I totally forgot about this song, this sent me back and I love it
so good! anotha BANGA!!
This is fucking beautiful such an AMAZING cover
OmGOSH bruv! I 💚 everything about this!!
gonna jam over this in the morning and post it straight up, watch this space!
An absolute banger
HELL YEAH. THank you so much!! 🔥
Top notch! Love this one when I was growing up!
Fuck yesss man!
If I was this good at guitar i'd be doing the same thing, covering classic R&B hits and incorporating a lot of funk and hiphop elements in my music mixed with some spicy hardcore.
Loved this.
Timmy boy you've done it again ❤❤
That made my week bro thank you
Dude just covered this like "what?"
I miss Alyiah so much. The world would be a brighter place if she was still here.
Such a sick choice of track for a cover
You just made my whole day.
You are that somebody 😊 this was amazing 🎉
Ok, this is amazing and all but I need that random baby giggle
WOW 🔥 flawless phrasing 🐐
After hearing this and Reverie, I’m convinced that Polyphia should do a contemporary R&B album or ep.
My fav guitarist, inspiration🤘💪🔥❤
Absolute heat 🔥🔥🔥
I love you 🥹 so much nostalgia and talent.
🤩 so unexpected ! RIP Aaliyah 🕊
Now my day is complete, I don't need anything else
I haven't heard this in a sec. Thank you.
Goes crazy as always
this tone permeates my soul
Ooo these riffs are popping ❤❤❤
