2024 and I'm still here

[@OpinionParade]

Same.

Same!

[@brennuvargr4638]

Same! :)

[@sebastienroy5857]

15 years and still the best cover. To this day, I’ve never been able to reproduce the same touch as Emily on the guitar. And that voice. I hope you’re doing good and happy dear fellow musician ✌️

[@zetsubanned4308]

The sheer sincerity sells it better than the original, which is fucking bonkers. Punk is all about sincerity, and somehow a cover made decades later basically surpassed the original.

[@sebastienroy5857]

@@zetsubanned4308 I can say without a doubt that you and me could easily be friends 👊

[@at0micwerew0lf]

She is an absolute feggin' treasure!!

[@brennuvargr4638]

​@@zetsubanned4308Exactly!!! So we'll said. She sings it with such passion and sincerity.

[@theturdburgular9344]

I love this girl. Finally got to see her live in Hollywood when she opened up for bad religion. She literally is amazing

[@theturdburgular9344]

I love you

[@howtomeetwomen-]

I can't believe I got to see her open for them, it's so amazing

[@Blueflesh4]

Same here

[@professorditchdigger6893]

Emily drips talent from her pores

[@tkopp4005]

I believe it. I'm quite jealous.

[@YNCLDS]

10 years since I come hear to hear this unique version. Thank you, Emily!!!

[@cbilljones]

Don't know how many times ive landed here over the years, but this vid gives me goosebumps everytime

[@whatinspiresu]

holy crap, i was just thinking that EXACTLY

[@cbilljones]

whatinspiresu ...and now i have goosebumps again... great song, great cover

[@linux0808]

glad to see im not the only one i keep coming back

[@R3dDragon93]

I know right! I remember when this video was first uploaded with the first 500 views.

[@cbilljones]

***** thanks for commenting, because of certain things in my life i broke into tears, and maybe i needed that.

[@QuietMadness]

This is my first comment on KZbin cause I’m a lurker but, just so you know when I look up bad religion acoustic it’s been you for the last 10 yrs. thanks for keeping punk alive.

[@LhasaThailand]

Recommended after 12 years of uploading. What a queen, this was so good.

[@philclarke8222]

I've been listing to Emily for years still get goose bumps. Keep going lass

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

phil clarke no plans to stop

[@ChristophHeylen]

This is one of the songs that keeps giving me goosebumps... Not only because of how good she does this cover, but also (and more) because of my interpretation of the lyrics. Thank you Brett Gurewitz for writing it, thank you Bad Religion for making it real and thanks Emily for this extremely beautiful version!

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

I added a download link to the description that has an in tune recording of this cover. Sorry it has taken so long!

[@4isma]

+Emily Davis Oh god, yes! Thanks :)

[@ahnaroll]

I like this version better. I found this by mistake years ago while looking for Bad Religions version and I've been obsessed with it ever since. This was pure, raw, real, and amazing.

[@cyclopunx661]

Emily Davis you are amazing. hope to see you on tour in Poland someday (or although Berlin ;) all your br covers and your own songs are great. i wish you luck on tour with Greg.

[@stormtrooperwrx4964]

If people want to complain about it being "in tune" then ask if Punk music was ever "in tune". It's punk! If you don't like it then fuck you!

[@Jakeyboyofjoy4]

Emily Davis this is really amazing... I just started getting back into b.r... your covers are really something else. Your take on this song especially is amazing. The acoustic makes the lyrics more poignant.

[@jamesdefrange]

It’s been over 10 years since I found this vid. Learned to play the song after a bad breakup and seeing your vid. Just found it again tonight and jammed out like I was 20 again. Ty. Love you. Don’t ever stop.

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

I don't plan on it! :)

[@devlings]

All those years and all those covers.. Still this is the one that always stands out. Amazing cover! Best wishes on your career, you're a f**ing star!

[@MicheleMazzali]

I was listening to Against the Grain this morning in my car, and I felt so inspired that I had to put my headphones on at work, and browse through Bad Religion's playlists on KZbin. Needless to say I came across with yours...my most sincere congratulations, it went on heavy rotation the whole day. That's what a killer combination like your voice and Bad Religion's lyrics can produce!

[@rizdizla]

15 years of this song, never left a comment, my bad

[@sike8156]

Best voice I can find on KZbin It's been so long and this is still legendary 🤩

[@mikekristin7201]

I find myself watching this every 6 months or so. Each time it makes me smile. Excellent cover regardless of when it was made.

[@kidneystonermusic]

This almost made me cry. This is amazing. Thank you for making this 🙏

[@twakka86]

Still getting comments on this video in 2020 I applaud you!👏👏

[@ieonful]

I was playing Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 when I heard the song. Since then I was into Bad Religion and Lag Wagon. It opened the door to punk rock for me. Yes and I love the unplugged version. Man, time is flying this video is so old now....

[@myapathy]

Its been a decade or maybe longer and this cover is still relevant and meaningful to me. Thank you so much.

[@Redrobyn9]

Wow i'm blown away, you did an amazing job

[@RollsRoyce6969]

I'm just seeing this for the first time, but holy shit! What a great voice! Great cover! Thx Emily!

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

You've got a lot of catching up to do! :P

[@evantanner666]

Emily please never stop. ONLY you or Greg could make the feels so strong. 20 plus years of writing recording and touring with punk bands and you brought me to tears. Thank you.

[@grahamandremi]

I have loved Bad Religion for over 20 years. I sooo enjoy your covers. your voice and spirit is right on.

[@sunmustbedestroyed]

This and No Cigar? Someone liked Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 ;) Good cover.

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

Joseph I've since covered Lagwagon's May 16 and will eventually get around to tackling Superman by Goldfinger.

[@radioffvoicesnoysyvisionna7643]

Hi emily...im italian so i try my best writing this I know this is old stuff and maybe you cringe a little inside or look at this with a sense of fun for what you were and what you are now, anyway this is wonderful, your gift is voice and in particular the way you deliver verses (words, pauses, accents, and every detail) and the guitar work here is great too despite you or others may consider it poor, clumsy, amateurish ecc, it simply fits well with this version and i think you are so pretty here

[@MrEwanski]

I love how you make every one of these covers your own. You fully add your own personality into the songs, and it's beautiful.

[@ENDGAMEx12]

So awesome hearing this live last night I had to watch the video again. Great show!

[@jameskahler7519]

Im happy this chick exists.

[@jameskahler7519]

Are you saying I disrespected her?

[@jameskahler7519]

I've never heard that before, my bad. Is dude offensive for guys? I thought it goes: male/female, man/woman, guy/gal, boy/girl, dude/chick... never at all thought of it as an insult. I am not giving you trouble. Words will never hurt you.

[@jameskahler7519]

Chick is also a baby bird, for whatever thats worth. I will try to not use it around strangers. :)

[@troggdoor8613]

James Kahler Chick is totally fine and acceptable. From a super liberal too. I'm all LGBT friendly, super progressive, and I have MANY female friends who use the word chick freely. It's not like you said any number of misogynistic and offensive words that you could have used. I find it very sad that we live in a climate that is so politically correct and terrified of its own shadow that we actually become more institutionalized racist because of it. Who sounds more in touch? Somebody who says "a black guy"? Or someone who shuffles their feet, doesn't make eye contact, and says "African American", when that moniker is not even geographically correct half the time? Scott Thompson, one of the first openly gay voices on network tv, actually defends being able to lampoon one's self and take a joke. I totally applaud his attitudes, and being progressive today, at least in my opinion, is embracing the middle road, and not being an extremist in any regard. Evaluate everything for what it is worth on a case by case basis. Just my two cents. I am also happy that this chick exists, very much :)

[@jameskahler7519]

Words are given way too much power these days. Like you said it's sad.

[@martincatolino3576]

It's great!! You should do a cover from "My sanity" from the last album

[@privatebob1]

great job i now have this converted and listen to it on the way to work puts me in a good mood each mornin. thanks great version.

[@BmBravo91]

You're good but tune your guitar so i can enjoy this

[@legnaleama]

I saved this video probably around 2009 and just today I saw it on one of my playlists. I truly miss the good old days of KZbin where videos like this one made my day. Everything was so simple and honest. Hope you are doing great Emily. PS: Happy New Year

This is so much better than I thought it would be. Really good cover.

[@selfreliance101]

I love your raw natural voice, not only that but i don't think anyone can pull of BR acoustic the way you do. They've been my favorite band for decades and you do them some serious justice.

such an awesome cover. i think i just watched all your bad religion ones and this is probably my favorite one. my heart just melts at 0.39 when you sing, "and you know, I wish that I could go there". AMAZING.....

Heard you sing this at the Horseshoe Tavern a few days ago. I didn't realize that I actually knew who I was listening to until you sang this. I immediately flashed back to college when i first discovered these videos. It's so cool to see that someone making acoustic covers of Bad Religion songs on KZbin was recognized and now get's to tour with them (well, two members anyways). Your set was amazing. Keep rocking.
