the smile on allen's face when jason pulls his lil' fills, especially at @1:07, is special. that kind of relationship between rhythm section and vocals is like once in a lifetime at best. jason holt is a freaking genius
Allen Stone... sooo much soul! 👌 And the drummer, Jason Holt, is 🔥 Consistently upping his game! Shout-out to the band for putting together such a masterpiece.
You know someone is a great artist when they make you love a song that you used to hate! Couldn't stand hearing it before. And after listening to this version, I'm sold 😍
I agree. I had taken a break from Allen Stone's music and now I'm wondering if I was insane. Came back today. Now I don't see myself going anywhere else any time soon.
I discovered AS in 2012, and I've listened to his self titled album, in complete sincerity, probably over 250 times. And I still love to listen to it. This cover puts me on cloud 9. I freaking love this man.
Here in quarantine times...jamming at my desk with mouth slowly opening wider and wider with each passing second!! Allen baaaabyyyyyy.....honey drip voice!!! Damn! The backing singers killing it and that drummer like WHAT?!? Just.blown.away!!!!!!!!
This just made my list of covers that are better than the original: 1. Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton), 2. Lauryn Hill - Can't Take My Eyes Off of You (Frankie Valli), 3. Allen Stone - Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye)
Allen Stone is so gifted and talented by far a gift!!! I saw his performance in Asbury Park ! Amazing, I will be traveling to Nashville to see him in February 2024 ! Slay all day to the entire team ! band is so great- God bless you all on. your tour and traveling mercies- Hug the wife & kid for I
Not really, 1) Gotye wrote it not Stone 2) Gotye cashed in like crazy not Stone. What's gotta suck is that Stone can take any song and turn it into something awesome..... but still be a starving musician because pop music needs to water things down to sell more.
Just lost my father last friday. My uncle playd this to me at the funeral.... i cryed so hard and this song today just make me sad and happy at the same time! Ik hou van je pa! Rust zacht doe iedereen de groetten van me in de hemel!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
So lucky people who can listen to your music in concerts... Come in France when you want!!!! When we hear your songs, our heart isn't stone anymore ;) Thank you Allen!
The best cover ever!!! Allen n' crew kill it man. The drums are on point. The bass is smooth. And Allen's voice is powerful. I've listened to this video dozens of times.
This man right here is talent he has shown the world that he has what it takes to be great he is one of the best singers in my lifetime and I hope he continues to do what he is does because it's a privilege to see him sing and make music and be amazing
No one sounds like Alan Stone!!! So unique and soulful. 62 in Alabama and loving your voice and your band. Would love to see you in person! Your music is incredible. Been listening since I discovered you on Idol. You're the best Alan!!!! God Bless
Top to bottom, this cover has everything! Guitar work is stunning, drums are loose and groovy, keys rip, harmonies are perfect, recording is deep and rich. A total work of art!
So true. I tell people that all the time. I enjoy some of their music but there's a big difference between Backstreet Boys or 98 degrees and Allen Stone. For people of African descent it is just natural but there are some people out there from other backgrounds, every color and every music genre who are just organically soulful. Allen Stone is definitely one. Jay Kay from Jamiroquai, George Michael, Kenny Loggins, Daryl Hall, Michael McDonald, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jonny Lang, Joe Cocker, Chris Robinson from the Black Crowes is another. Teena Marie, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse and others. With people like that it is not appropriation of black culture it is who they are in their being.
No words. ... that arrangement I loved it when I saw him live in Sydney, Australia. That concert blew my mind!!! Peace and love xxx #trulygifted ☆☆♡☆☆☆☆☆☆
Man, I'm Brazilian and i love your musics, u have a extraordinary talent. I'm Cristian but I feel a crazy vibe in your songs, continue the amazing job , thanks for all.
When I first heard this song by Gotye, I was like "yeah, it's kinda good, but also... super annoying?? Like... am I on the island of misfit toys or something?" I remember thinking - it has so much potential, someone really ought to fix it. Now, years later - of course, Allen Stone. Takin' it to another leveelllll. These new chord progressions, rhythms, crazy solos, so HOT! I love this song more than I ever though possible
I never thought I could watch Allen stone absolutely slay the way he does here, yet my first reaction every time is: holy sh!t that drummer is unreal. Blacksourdough is an actual alien I think.
Been Waiting for a studio version of this for so long!!! Seriously fangirling right now man. Allen if you're reading this you are the absolute man. Come back to New Zealand again soon plz xx
Big Allen Stone fan here. Hats off to all his musicians with special mention the the drummer who always lays a quality foundation no matter the song. Sorry, not sure of his name at this point. But I can recognize his presence with my eyes closed.

His drummer is everything! Actually the whole band is ridiculously amazing...
I noticed the drummer as well, that guy is incredible
Even better live!
His band is great, just like him
Jason Holt....#Beast
Drummer is in the pockets the whole song.
Give it up for that drummer and those backup singers, holy shit!!!!!!!
The dude on the keys was on point, too. And don't forget the bassist xP the entire team was hella in sync
saw him live a year ago, he and his band were fantastic. It was honestly a supernatural performance.
Black Sour Dough!
amen! those girls are my favorite, and Allen is my love........so good!!!
ArbitraryLifestyle yea that drummer ain't playing with them
People sleeping on Allen Stone
Snoring on him girl! And heaven is the goal...Amen!
Heaven is the Goal not in New Zealand 🇳🇿
shhhhhhh... let them. I enjoy keeping him as my little gem.

Thanks Dom!
You're the man!
yeah mannnn
Yo, how'd you transcribe them? Just by ear?
Gian Carlo Yes, by ear!
now the original is just a song I used to know
Stephen Angela hahahahah
Stephen Angela 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stephen Angela that's good
Stephen Angela 👍 😃😂😂
As a drummer... this drummer spoke straight to my soul
The tritone substitution in the chorus...WOO! There is some serious groove in this.
Ahhh. The plural groove. The force are strong with this one.
I wonder if thats the part I cant stop whistling lol
That drummer is insane!!
It's the Black Sourdough show, featuring a singer!
Not really just a nice beat
He did his thang!!
He really is right. And he didn’t even do anything THAT crazy, he’s just well... ON POINT and powerful!!!
Who is the drummer?
WHAT?! This was so fire, Stevie Wonder like! Love this version!
Preach !!!
@Steven Boitano v j. JfGood mini uf
Yeah man. You can hear the Stevie influence in a lot of his music. I’d love to hear him sing ‘Overjoyed’.
Omg yess! People look at me crazy when I say that he reminds me of a young Stevie! 🙌🏼
This is good, but you took it too far with Stevie Wonder! No comparison to Stevie.
Are you kidding me!? What an amazing cover!
OurVinyl everything this man touches is gold dude
@@sherazaadabdulla2694 more like platinum.
They tore that song down and rebuilt it into a masterpiece ❤
He completely transformed this song -- incredible cover!
Real Talk!
I love it this way! 🔥
I'm lost for words...this is by far the BEST cover I have EVER heard!!! Incredible man.
I must have listened to this 10 times in a row....serious musicianship... holy shit PERFECTION
the smile on allen's face when jason pulls his lil' fills, especially at @1:07, is special. that kind of relationship between rhythm section and vocals is like once in a lifetime at best. jason holt is a freaking genius
The band put the stank on that song,, I loved it . Awesome
He should be the biggest household name in music RIGHT NOW
Everything he sings is like the greatest thing I’ve ever heard
this is on point on so many levels!
SO many!
the drummer did an awesome job too ! listen to that riff at 2:44
For drums it's not called a riff, it's called a lick.
Alex R technically it’s a fill.
@@p_santamaria I'd say at 2:44, it's a lick, 'cos it's just a nice stick variation. But, at 3:59, it's definitely a fill! demi-semi quavers, I think?
Nah, that was a fill @ 2:44 and a build at 3:59.
A lick is a pattern that gets repeated ala Questlove @the end of "you got me".
Allen Stone... sooo much soul! 👌
And the drummer, Jason Holt, is 🔥 Consistently upping his game!
Shout-out to the band for putting together such a masterpiece.
The drummer absolutely killing it, the whole band, allen stone, the lyrical beauty of this song, we barely deserve this majestic ensemble
They all ate this up but the DRUMMER was..... Sheesh!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 YIIIIII
The drummer and engineer put together one the cleanest mixes of all time
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even have any words. What is this magic?!?!?!?!?!?
GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! Welcome, I'm still on the floor!
You know someone is a great artist when they make you love a song that you used to hate! Couldn't stand hearing it before. And after listening to this version, I'm sold 😍
FACTS!!! I hated the original, love this version though
@@musclenugget92 I don't like the original song (more so how it sounds). It's got nothing to do with its lyrics.
@@CarlaSophieMar Writing a song doesn't mean writing lyrics ...
@@musclenugget92 You're not kidding...the original is incredible.
Well this is really a whole different song with the same lyrics, but I definitely get it.
4 yrs later this is still fire.
I agree. I had taken a break from Allen Stone's music and now I'm wondering if I was insane. Came back today. Now I don't see myself going anywhere else any time soon.
And still
Didn't know I needed this version in my life, glad I found it.
NO FREAKING WAY YOU ALL DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW LONG I'VE WAITED FOR THIS OMG
I discovered AS in 2012, and I've listened to his self titled album, in complete sincerity, probably over 250 times. And I still love to listen to it. This cover puts me on cloud 9. I freaking love this man.
Me the same
YAH GOOD SONG
Allen Stone, on behalf of all black people, you're officially invited to the cookout.
Yessss!!
Psssh he's supposed to be bringing the cornbread
+BlackRiver875 amen amen
Preach
He is the cornbread.
How fucking daaaaaaaare he!!!!!!!!!!! Murder the beat!!! That soul, your spirit .... bliss

Here in quarantine times...jamming at my desk with mouth slowly opening wider and wider with each passing second!! Allen baaaabyyyyyy.....honey drip voice!!! Damn! The backing singers killing it and that drummer like WHAT?!? Just.blown.away!!!!!!!!
This dude's got more soul than a sock with a hole!

This is so tight its unbelievable!
Drummer is so amazing... he killded it.
that pianist that’s always smiling at him is totally in love with allen hahah😭 I mean you can’t NOT look at him in awe with that voice
Allen is so amazing. Everything he sings just gets me.
Remix ain’t no sunshine when she gone I feel like you’ll kill it with your voice
This just made my list of covers that are better than the original:
1. Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton),
2. Lauryn Hill - Can't Take My Eyes Off of You (Frankie Valli),
3. Allen Stone - Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye)
that is a bloody good list! i love those three covers
Totally agree! Can't take my eyes off of you Lauryn Hill is my favourite cover of all time.
his cover of Sex and Candy is even better than this cover...just saying
R.D. Brigden agreed
Prince - can’t make you love me
Allen Stone is so gifted and talented by far a gift!!! I saw his performance in Asbury Park ! Amazing, I will be traveling to Nashville to see him in February 2024 ! Slay all day to the entire team ! band is so great- God bless you all on. your tour and traveling mercies- Hug the wife & kid for I
Damn, thats got to suck to have a song that someone else takes and smashes the original to pieces. This blows the original out if the water. Epic!
X Crow Yes, yes, yes.... SO TRUE!!!
Not really, 1) Gotye wrote it not Stone 2) Gotye cashed in like crazy not Stone. What's gotta suck is that Stone can take any song and turn it into something awesome..... but still be a starving musician because pop music needs to water things down to sell more.
X Crow haha minds alike .
X Crow agree! 👍👍 this is the true definition of a remake song.
The radio played the original to the pits of hell in just a year!... worse than Hotel California!
This is timeless!
Still bumpin this
This man is so good!! Saw him concert in Sacramento. He's even better live!
Crazy good! Crazy, crazy good! I keep coming back here. I can't help myself.
Just lost my father last friday. My uncle playd this to me at the funeral.... i cryed so hard and this song today just make me sad and happy at the same time!
Ik hou van je pa!
Rust zacht doe iedereen de groetten van me in de hemel!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
So lucky people who can listen to your music in concerts... Come in France when you want!!!! When we hear your songs, our heart isn't stone anymore ;) Thank you Allen!
I absolutely love this cover. I would love to get this recording!
The best cover ever!!! Allen n' crew kill it man. The drums are on point. The bass is smooth. And Allen's voice is powerful. I've listened to this video dozens of times.
If talent equated to fame, there wouldn’t be a person on Earth that didn’t know who Allen Stone is.
Facts
He can literally sing anything and make it amazing!
It is hard for me to comprehend how something can be so smooth.
Can't wait to see you in concert! Tickets purchased! 🥰🥰
This man right here is talent he has shown the world that he has what it takes to be great he is one of the best singers in my lifetime and I hope he continues to do what he is does because it's a privilege to see him sing and make music and be amazing
Perhaps a bit nerdy. But the floor Tom tuning at 0:23 is world class. Wasn’t expecting anything else but top notch from these dudes anyways.
Drums 3:15 🔥🔥🔥🔥
No one sounds like Alan Stone!!! So unique and soulful. 62 in Alabama and loving your voice and your band. Would love to see you in person! Your music is incredible. Been listening since I discovered you on Idol. You're the best Alan!!!! God Bless
I've been with this dude since I found out bout him... can't just let him go!!!
OMG!! This man here, I can listen to him all day.
you can tell from that first note this is going to be soooo good!
For everybody nodding their head to this great cover, you can thank this amazing drummer. Pure groove machine!!
Top to bottom, this cover has everything! Guitar work is stunning, drums are loose and groovy, keys rip, harmonies are perfect, recording is deep and rich. A total work of art!
Allen Stone - one of the most underrated artists ever - what an amazing performance. Let me replay this 5 more times, then get back to work.
You ever hear a song and know immediately you're going to be jamming to it the rest of your days
Hell yea! This is certainly one of those jams.
Saw this dude at Chateau St. Michelle in Woodinville WA and he was too good.... hope he comes back this way.
This cover smokes the original song ! Wow what an awesome cover ! Allen Stone - my favorite artist right now, phenomenal !
Allen Stone doesn't sing soul, he sings from it. Truly one of the great artists of our time.
So true. I tell people that all the time. I enjoy some of their music but there's a big difference between Backstreet Boys or 98 degrees and Allen Stone.

Incredibllllllle!
Still come back to this one. The whole thing is great, but that drum kit just explodes. Next level high hat technique. Love it.
Frustrated I'm away while he's touring the U.S. right now. What a talented, soulful musician Allen is!
That bass and drummer are in sync!
No words. ... that arrangement I loved it when I saw him live in Sydney, Australia. That concert blew my mind!!! Peace and love xxx #trulygifted ☆☆♡☆☆☆☆☆☆
This is sooooo good oh my gawwwhhhhshhhhh
