    Just came here to say that my dad and I loved this song, I like the Elton version too, but I just remember my dad listening to this version always because we both love Tool. My dad took me to my first Tool concert, then on one of my birthdays he surprised me with tickets to A Perfect Circle and I fucking bawled because he tricked me into thinking that we weren't even going. I miss that man. I love you Daddy-o.
    Edit: I am lucky to have even had this experience with my father.
    I'll be here if you need someone to jam to music with.

      I got my love of music from my mom. Who wound up liking bands I listen to like Tool, NIN, Nirvana. She introduced me to Floyd, Skynrd, Zeppelin, The Who, Jethro Tull. I miss her but I'm grateful for the time I had

      I believe Maynard is the greatest singer songwriter of all time based on the number of song the range and the fact that his lyrics have so much meaning

    I know I am biased, but as far as I am concerned, he is the best overall singer out there. His vocal range is amazing. I had the pleasure of meeting him at one of his Puscifer concerts, yes I paid it, and it was worth it. The brilliance behind this man is just understated. He doesnt get the recognition that he should, but even then, i dont think he truly cares. He doesnt pride himself around like some of these other so-called stars. He is nothing like that. I think thats what separates him from others, and that voice. To go from Tool, to A Perfect Circle, and then Puscifer, is just amazing.

      @BlueZirnitra 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There are so many singers "out there" that nobody has even had the chance to hear, that this kind of statement is essentially meaningless. Just say you think he's an amazing singer. No one is taking you seriously when you decide your favourite singer is unequivocally the best out of several fucking billion people.
      And frankly, if MJK is as good as vocals can possibly be then I'm disappointed in the unlimited potential and variety of human vocal ability.
      Why not instead of thinking "this is it, this is the best singing ever", think of how many other great singers who will also enrich your life instead of putting all your eggs in one unnecessarily limited basket.

    HOW am I just discovering this now??
    HOW does this man consistently choose songs that NO ONE has any business attempting to cover, and always manages to make it his own and draw a whole new set of feelings out of the lyrics???
    My generation may have inherited a pretty fucked up world, but I am deeply grateful to live in the same time as Maynard.

  • @kristiwelch2933

    Everything, every song, every verse, every small inflection with his voice, his range, his power, every melody, chorus, bridge, intro, outro, every band he is in, every single moment he is creating music in one form or another, every live performance, every lyric, every phrasing, pattern, hook, EVERYTHING MAYNARD TOUCHES he gives his upmost attention, quality, effort and pours himself into every creative endeavor…it ALL turns to GOLD. He is the greatest living artist today. He’s one the last true greats still creating amazing and beautiful music for almost 30 YEARS!!! He is a gift from God.

  • @fmfagan
    @fmfagan 10 ปีที่แล้ว +128

    Wow, this blew me away! I've heard many covers of this beautiful song and previous to this I've always said no one could ever compare with Elton's original. This however was truly amazing. Yes, obviously it's a cover but he (Maynard) was able to make this his own to an extent I wouldn't have thought possible. The lyrics have the lonely fishbowl-like sound quality of a spacecraft and the cold echo of that repeating transmit tone between NASA and astronauts was perfect. IMO it's pointless to try and put one version above the other. All art is subjective and beauty therefore will always remain in the eye, or in the case of music, the ear of the beholder/listener.

    This Resonates So Deeply...
    The Ambient Space And Beeps Of The Rocket, It Truly Puts You In Space. Then That Beautiful, Soothing Voice...
    I'm In Space. I'm In A Whole New Place, I'm Homesick. I Think Of The Mountains Of Colorado And I Want To Cry. Maynard Did Perfect With This Song. He Recreated It Magically. This Song Defines My Every Homesick Feeling.

      Haha I understand, yes, it's a figure of speech. I feel like I'm in space, I'm in a place I've never even thought of before a few months ago, far from home. It's why this song hits me so hard.

    I remember this was the first 45rpm record I ever bought, released in 1972 and cost $0.25 USD (25 cents); played it till the grooves wore away! Brought back some serious memories...

    This one feels a lot more lonely than the original. There is no backup chorus, the music feels a lot more dark, and the way his voice sounds is like he recorded it on a cassette or something.
