[ThilixD]

This level of funkiness is considered a lethal weapon in 14 states

[Starchild]

This man's voice is as smooth as that girl's hair.

[ChlorineBurner]

Hey y'all, just a reminder that the dude getting funky on the keyboard over there is the CEO of Patreon.


Carry on.

[robertocesarborges]

Jesus Christ. This dude is a proper frontman. Everything seems to be so effortless. So much technique. He's doing a million things as though it's nothing. Amazing!

[trailblazer]

I love the "Whoo!" from the crew when Mario hits the note at 2:07. Same, anonymous crew member. Same.

[chithaonguyen]

I was a fan but after hearing this masterpiece, I'm now a whole air conditioner

[Haticesahin]

Mario Jose is such an incredible performer!

[JesseClaus]

The energy at 2:08 peaks with an audible “wooo” from the band. Classic, teamwork. Well done Pockets!

[vinotinto]

You can't see the bass player, but hell he's there.

[miragium]

The bassist is simply amazing. He grooves like hell. Each note is perfect.

[emehtonich]

Mario's voice is as perfect as his hair.

[kmacattack]

This cover is single handedly getting me through rn. A year ago I would’ve buckled under the weight and it hurts like hell but I feel like yelling at the top of my lungs: It’s a new day baby, you don’t control me anymore. You expected me to fall apart but not this time!! I’m not that chained up little girl still in love with you. Then I hear Christina yang telling me not to let what other ppl want eclipse what I need. He’s not the sun, I am!

[ericamorelli]

Hey Vsauce, Michael here. What does it mean to “survive” something? Well, *rips crazy keyboard solo*

[dougbreese]

How on earth did the drummer get the shaker to land on the ground in tempo? 3:00

[reyasem]

Dear God that girl's hair is so smooth it feels like im watching a shampoo advertisement

[mattcorregan]

Can you imagine being in a band with a voice like this? Man, that dude has some serious power in his vocal chords!

[raydenmontes]

2:05 is just one of those moments where I'm sucked into another dimension for a bit as I try to process the musical goodness that just stole my soul. F*ck that was good.

[dangelocake]

This version keeps growing on me. Got to love Mario Jose, man. He has such a smooth voice and such caring for every sentence in this song. I mean 1:15?? Sounds like he's trying to score that 100% in a super precise singing game. He sings "As long as I know how to love" as one super in-tune big word. And the guys is charming af.

[LukeFaulkner]

Holy potato, I wasn't expecting that. This is my new jam.

[sarahlawrence]

two years later and i still listen to this at least one a week
