Matisyahu I think has brought such an amazingly fresh mix to Reggae. Reggae is one of those genres that aren't for everyone, but I absolutely love his sound.
That was him. In fact, I had never even heard of Matisyahu until I saw the movie. I liked his character so much that I looked him up on IMDB to see what else he's been in. Man was I surprised to find out that not only was that his first movie role but that he was a musician too. He is awesome!
We simply do not have a more intensely beautiful singer than Metisyahu. His singing is sublime. He is the finest singer that I have heard in a long, long time. Perhaps, he is the finest singer I have ever heard. Thank you, Matisyahu. Thank you, Billboard, for the privilege of hearing this music. Happy New Year!
I’ve been roaming around always lookin down at all I see. Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach.

How can anyone dislike? This is what covers are meant for, to change it up a bit and give it the artists twist. I loved it, it's a different way of seeing the song.
TH-cam is becoming a much more postive place for the Human race to expand acceptance of all cultures,regligions, and aspects of looking at things..I personally love watching OUR eveolution that can never be held down by any babylonian system..One Love
It's kind of annoying when your trying figure what the guitarist is playing and starburst sponsored billboard banners keep popping up in front of his guitar...
i think matisyahu did a great job given the simplicity and mediocrity of the song he was covering. I met him 2 years back, he's simply one of the most peaceful and pleasant people i've ever met and his live show is absolutely inspiring.
ive seen many beards in my time and have grown my fair share. But this beard, this beard houses an angelic chorus sent down from above. this mans beard is a temple and should be respected.
He will blow your mind with stripped versions of his own music. Listen to Live like a warrior from Spark Sessions (Acoustic)... Your welcome in advance.
+james brown I wasn't saying it was supposed to. I was saying I don't like it! Am I not allowed to have an opinion now? I can tell your one of them that comments in people's comments nit picking because you've got nothing better to do with your life.
This is a true gem because yes, he does mess up. It shows that even musical artists are human and make mistakes. You can tell that he is more in his element when he's beatboxing or improvising. If you watch the end, he is soft-spoken and seems very humble and down to earth kind. That being said, can we please stop all the hate on the comments? Hitler does not need to be brought up, and if you have any anti-semitic remarks, keep them to yourself and let the rest of us be. Thanks :)
but does that make the actual song not good? it's cool not to like it and express your opinion but don't say it wasn't good. what about the guitar? or the beat boxing? personally I think his vocal performance was pretty solid for a song like that (Caleb's voice isn't very easy to successfully cover anyways), saying it wasn't good just doesn't seem very fair.
***** well i suppose that calls for elaboration on my part. The guitar work wasn't impressive either even in the slightest. I mean it wasn't wrong or anything but it was just very plain. The only saving grace for the piece was the beat boxing which wasn't exactly stand-out or exceptional in any way either. You're right, Caleb has a great voice, that's probably why if I were this particular gentleman I wouldn't have touched it. Not to be offensive but in my opinion one weak element in a piece with only two musicians performing ABSOLUTELY makes the song not good. In something with a full band, things may go unnoticed, but if you're doing an acoustic performance like this and bringing the focus on just two musicians, they had better both bring their fuckin' "A game". That just wasn't the case here in my opinion.
Tucker Greene actually caleb has a terrible voice. cant make a shitty song into a good one. ive listened to a live performance of this song by kings of leons. its trash. and not even that, he is not a good singer, hence why he had that whole ordeal when his voice burned out, cuz he didn't use proper technique. i dont disagree with you on your opinion of this cover, but the song itself is shit too. lol
Andres Gomez I beg to differ, I saw him live last summer and he was absolutely amazing. Kings of Leon are great on stage, I was surprised at how close he sang to album quality. If you've listened to a performance on the internet, that's just not fair to say. I've seen him within 500 feet and they sound fucking awesome.
love this guy for covering this song....so much talent...as for K.O.L. thanks for inspiration...this guy covered this song as one of the tops that I've seen so far !!!
Beings like this rise up from all locations and within all religions of the planet. Just yesterday I was listening to Yusuf Islam sing "Peace Train" ....and "Father and Son". It takes such light beings to help others awaken from their televised reality.
i like his own way he did this, dont compare this to the original song this is a whole new song just happens to have the same lyrics. and if you look at it that way they both are good songs :D
Never ever heard of these guys before this, but I'm definitely going to check out more of them! I think I've got some downloading to do. Thanks Billboard!
this was his version not kings of leon's. I have so much respect for this man,he has more positiveity in his in his small toe than most leaders in the world have in their whole body!!!!!!
So many negative comments. This is his cover. I thought it was beautiful. Not as good as the original obviously(no one can sing like the vocalist for KOL). But definitely more calming and emotional imo. Matisyahu is the man
The beginning was rough to be honest but I am glad I hung out for the beat boxing, which is typically something I don't like, but this was good. Matisyahu really is a very good vocalist.
Watched the BBAward show and thought,so glad that You were not there It is controlled,some can't even sing,like,KWest...wondering if the stage was going to go up in flames!
I loved it. I also enjoyed the beatboxing...certainly wasn't expecting that,but it was good. I was away from my PC and I was shocked that I heard what I did, but yeah that was great. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. ♥

He adds an emotional quality, a vulnerability, this makes it real.
Not really he just added a nice beatbox at the end
no doubt, this cover is raw.
i love how he talks, there is calmness within.
When you know God your worries and troubles are no longer yours. They now belong to Him.
Matisyahu I think has brought such an amazingly fresh mix to Reggae. Reggae is one of those genres that aren't for everyone, but I absolutely love his sound.
By far the Best Kings of Leon Cover of the Song. Pure Talent ! Goosebumps ma Gawd..!
cool
Made me cry.
Listen to paramore's version
what the hell..i love kings of leon and i adore matis so..I'M FREAKIN OUT!
It's my first time to hear this guy sing. And maaaaan he's amazing! 😍
Then I guess its the first time you've heard anyone sing.
Mediocre at best
Seriously?
matisyahu always killed covers. the beatboxing he adds gives it a nice touch.
I start my day with "One Day" Nothing takes away the stress like that song does
He’s the best. So beautiful. ❤️
That was him. In fact, I had never even heard of Matisyahu until I saw the movie. I liked his character so much that I looked him up on IMDB to see what else he's been in. Man was I surprised to find out that not only was that his first movie role but that he was a musician too. He is awesome!
He is so beautiful. He just made a song I already loved, better.
We simply do not have a more intensely beautiful singer than Metisyahu. His singing is sublime. He is the finest singer that I have heard in a long, long time. Perhaps, he is the finest singer I have ever heard. Thank you, Matisyahu. Thank you, Billboard, for the privilege of hearing this music. Happy New Year!
This is good. It's Matisyahu's cover. He's not trying to mimic the original.
Yeah he just made it gay with a pinch of jew
hahaha..... you're stupid
Such talent and hopeully, one-day to meet this soulful man of Yah!
so much negativity on the comments.. maybe you should listen to one day.
love that song! great choice
Best comment comeback! True Matisyahu style.. maybe "one day".
I love this guy. What an amazing gift he has given us all! Blessed.
I’ve been roaming around always lookin down at all I see.
Painted faces fill the places I can’t reach.
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I’m off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it’s gonna make you notice
I hope it’s gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
(Go and let it out)
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
his voice is golden, and so is his personality
Beautiful!
How can anyone dislike? This is what covers are meant for, to change it up a bit and give it the artists twist. I loved it, it's a different way of seeing the song.
Looking at this dude with that full grown beard, I was expecting to hear a deep raspy singing voice and got the complete opposite. LoL
✔
Should hear him do Reggae
TH-cam is becoming a much more postive place for the Human race to expand acceptance of all cultures,regligions, and aspects of looking at things..I personally love watching OUR eveolution that can never be held down by any babylonian system..One Love
brasiiiillll ✌
Brasil!! ❤️
+Dromomaníaca É nois!!!
+Thiago Lopes hahahah amor ❤️
voice is so soothing to the ears. i mean, thank you God for people with angelic voices like him
he needs to get that beard back. cos i love him with it.
Love this guy speaks volumes about music they way he uses reggea beatboxing and his own unique style to carry his mind.
what a beautiful voice
santiago unmanning Jo kjhikabmxqbqan.
I love these platforms. Everyone should have the balls to express himself in ways like this. or just listen and enjoy.
It's kind of annoying when your trying figure what the guitarist is playing and starburst sponsored billboard banners keep popping up in front of his guitar...
i think matisyahu did a great job given the simplicity and mediocrity of the song he was covering. I met him 2 years back, he's simply one of the most peaceful and pleasant people i've ever met and his live show is absolutely inspiring.
jimmy falon? is that you?
AHAHHAHAHAHAH
Lmao on point
Don't do him like that.
ive seen many beards in my time and have grown my fair share. But this beard, this beard houses an angelic chorus sent down from above. this mans beard is a temple and should be respected.
He will blow your mind with stripped versions of his own music. Listen to Live like a warrior from Spark Sessions (Acoustic)... Your welcome in advance.
This falsetto is Soo vulnerable ❤️
when i saw his name my brain read it as *MahTissue" lol
I added this song to favorites before he started to sing. Matisyahu + Use Somebody cannot be less than perfect!
Holy shit I didnt know Shia Labouf could sing and that boss ass beard
I know right. that beard is legit as fuck
+Aassassin101 its not shia labouf
+Tara -_- I know......
The beatboxing was a nice addition to the cover.
Nice pinkish lipstick bro!
Lol, his lips are pink because of all the beat boxing he does when he sings
Man, I love his rappin, but dude can flippin sing too. helluva voice matisyahu! bring everyone together!
His lips are awkwardly pink
Danton Heuer he’s fine as hell, that’s why
He really is.
one of the best shows ive ever seen
better than KOL, half these views are from me... haha
Same lol
im glad you feel safe about coming out
lmao
seriously?
The quietest most humble man I've ever had the absolute pleasure of meeting in my entire life.
Tbh I don't like this doesn't match caleb at all
It's a cover
Ik. I just don't like it
+krazy gurl Its not supposed to match if it's a cover. Quit saying dumb shit.
+james brown I wasn't saying it was supposed to. I was saying I don't like it! Am I not allowed to have an opinion now? I can tell your one of them that comments in people's comments nit picking because you've got nothing better to do with your life.
+krazy gurl Agree
This is one of the best Monday Mashups
this guy needs to stick to reggae

wow, this is really...uh...not very good. I didn't like his vocal performance.
but does that make the actual song not good? it's cool not to like it and express your opinion but don't say it wasn't good. what about the guitar? or the beat boxing? personally I think his vocal performance was pretty solid for a song like that (Caleb's voice isn't very easy to successfully cover anyways), saying it wasn't good just doesn't seem very fair.

not that impressive honestly
1 class performance by Matisyahu, its realy cool to see artists from a completly diferent type of music singing a song from completly diferent type.
I'm sorry but this is pretty embarrassing
so much emotion in his music man, props
This and their cover of message in a bottle are my two favorite songs matisyahu covered
everyone wants to do a kings of leon - use somebody cover version :D gotta love matisyahu
we need more of this ppl!
Beings like this rise up from all locations and within all religions of the planet. Just yesterday I was listening to Yusuf Islam sing "Peace Train" ....and "Father and Son". It takes such light beings to help others awaken from their televised reality.

soo amazing. matis has a voice of no other.
he does this song better than the real version no doubt.
So many negative comments. This is his cover. I thought it was beautiful. Not as good as the original obviously(no one can sing like the vocalist for KOL). But definitely more calming and emotional imo. Matisyahu is the man
I totally agree, but I've built up some tolerance towards this song and I respect that he is a unique musician/singer.
This guy is so talented

I LOVE YOU MATISYAHU!!! I START MY DAY OFF WITH KING WITHOUT A CROWN EVERYDAY YOUR AN INSPIRATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The beginning was rough to be honest but I am glad I hung out for the beat boxing, which is typically something I don't like, but this was good. Matisyahu really is a very good vocalist.
Watched the BBAward show and thought,so glad that You were not there It is controlled,some can't even sing,like,KWest...wondering if the stage was going to go up in flames!
Love this guy, may peace prevail among all Jews, Muslims and any other group of people. Amen. Shalom/Salam
I loved it. I also enjoyed the beatboxing...certainly wasn't expecting that,but it was good. I was away from my PC and I was shocked that I heard what I did, but yeah that was great. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. ♥
