This was mine and my late ex's song. She died 18 and a half years ago. The irony of this being "our song" and her dying isn't lost on me. This popped in my feed today. I've been having a particularly rough week, and it could not have come at a better time. I want you to know, Jonathan, while I'm sat here, weeping, missing her terribly, this is absolutely the most beautiful version of the song I've ever heard. And that she would have loved it. Thank you so much for this. Thank you.

Not saying that he usually doesn’t sing with conviction and emotion but you see the emotion hit him harder with this cover. Love it.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

This song really hits you in the feels. This cover is absolutely beautiful, you can see the facial expressions and I can feel the emotion and the pain. If you're hurting, talk to us, Jonathan.

[firebird]

I feel like so many men identify with this song. So many of us truly try to be good and strong for the people in our lives and sometimes we don’t measure up. We just hope that our loved ones will see past it and hear us when we say “I just want you to know who I am.”

This brings me back to the summer 7th grade, I had nothing to worry about and could just stare out the window of my grandmothers car as we made it down the road. I miss those times..

[nicolegardner]

This was my and fiancee song, he died 2019 before we could get married, and i played this instead of speaking at his funeral instead. THANKS HEAPS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for this cover. He would besmuling and loving it, just as much as i do.

[Swamprot]

Everyone: suggesting songs.
Me, seeing the hurt in Jonathan's soul: pls be ok bb I love u

[GTNB]

Those chorus’ are like an explosion that shatters glass. Absolutely breathtaking.

[lauraguestford]

I’m a huge Goo Goo Dolls fan and I’ve never ever heard a cover of this song that I actually liked. Until now. You absolutely knocked it out of the park. Good job, man ❤️

[animewizard]

Another perfect masterpiece from our favorite Disney villain

[nashdiy]

Johnathan and Caleb may be two of the best musicians on this platform and there are many musicians here I love.

[aris]

Captured the emotional feelings perfectly in your own way. This feels like your singing from the top of your lungs in a moment of very strong emotion, yelling out all that you feel.
You took the song, my favorite song of all time, and made it your own.
That's why I love your covers so much. Thank you for this.

[amberforce]

The maturity and professionalism of some of these covers is mind-altering. A display of some truly incredible singing and musicianship. I would love to hear your interpretation of "Real Love" by the Beatles. The earlier suggestion of "Kiss from a rose" by Seal is also great.

[Shadowfox]

I keep coming back to this, because of the visceral energy. Don’t ever change, Jonathan Young.

[ericscott.sithlord]

What’s most impressive is the pure emotion you convey through your voice. This is such an emotional song and it is truly evident in your voice.

[helgrindjierda]

I would really like to hear your take on 'Wherever You Will Go' by The Calling

[Ell_wolvz]

I love it when he says “Heaven”. It feels so real. It’s feels his singing it with total realness and compassion. This is the best cover I heard of the song so far.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Lyrics:

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later, it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
