It sure will

Time to cry again. Its been 2 years now, RIP Keaton.

[@brisasdelmar4400]

i never cry for no one.. but this is sick

[@melissa_renae]

This song ripped my heart open 💔

[@DawnOfTheRachael]

I'm just finding out about this (life has been chaotic), and yeah. I'm crying. Too Close To Touch got me through for a while there

[@DirtyJ30]

Right here with you.. 😢

[@KiraSpeake]

keeping Keatons vocals for parts of the chorus and essentially singing alongside him, absolute goosebumps - this is such a beautiful tribute

[@RexMatinee]

Facts sounds perfect!!

[@RegentSnail7738]

Keaton's definitely there in spirit. It's in the way Noah sings, the way each band performs the song, and the ambience during each performance. The mic stand for Keaton and the video of him playing on the screens add to how hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking this performance is. It's perfect, fitting, and Bad Omens has more than made Keaton proud. 🖤

[@mv-gy4om]

Omg I don’t know how Noah’s can sing this song ,if I were him probably start crying 😢 ..

[@Cyber_Chriis]

I didn’t realize the additional mic stand. What a nice touch…

[@flamehaze59]

It's so gorgeous 😢 I'm crying

[@cantervice]

Keaton would certainly be proud. Not only of this vocal performance but of you guys as well and what you've accomplished. Thank you for carrying on his memory.

[@Avatarmariz]

Can we please get a studio version of this? Heads up to the sound team very good quality on the show, especially how it came out on the video, i shed a tear and got goosebumps

[@superfan2122]

I respectfully don’t think we’ll be getting a studio version out of respect for the band and the singer that passed, but wouldn’t that be great! :)

[@T0phrrChris-Topher]

Same here

[@Luca_krx]

for real I need this

[@김철수철수-l1v]

yeah we need studio version of they sing together

[@Miked1332]

This cover was incredible. Beautiful cover and tribute to one of the best voices and overall best person in the genre. RIP Keaton.

[@joshuaconniff7712]

Rest in peace Keaton. I haven't been able to listen to Too close to touch since he passed. This feels a like therapy. Thank you Bad omens

[@randybray7558]

Shit man I had no idea he died till I saw this video. I listened to too close to touch a few years back and liked what I heard. Damn sham man. What happened to him, if ya don't mind me asking?

[@christophermolina5522]

@@randybray7558the band never said they said it was due to a medical condition that he kept private

[@ROADKING97_]

Same same

[@CheyMarieW16]

I tried to listen to their music again over the summer and couldn’t do it. I agree, this was definitely a form of therapy.

[@SophieDarkcristal]

I have the same issue since Chester (Linkin Park) is gone, i just can't listen, it's so painfull

[@Mario7JD]

It amazes me, to see most people don't know about Too Close To Touch, Its one of the best bands in its genre, the passion Keaton Pierce Sang... simply incredible!!! Rest In peace Brother 🙏 Great Tribute by Bad Omens 👏

[@michellematthews8312]

You could literally hear pain in his voice during his song named Eiley. It breaks me thinking of their parents 💔 to lose one child is devastating but to lose two is just plain cruel!! I remember watching a live performance on here years ago and I could not hold the tears! I agree Keaton Pierce should be known world wide.

[@danielbrawner3677]

I didnt know he had passed. This hurts my soul. Sympathy and TCTT got me through some of my darkest times back in 2017.

[@ThatYellowPokemon]

He also got really good live towards the end of his life, and it was awesome to see him progress. So sad rip.

[@nar-kl7dg]

I came across them by accident a couple months before he past, still have stopped listening everyday

[@MJ-vd8bj]

Eiley from their second album, is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard

[@lilayyyyy39]

"I'll be filling in for Keaton tonight"... if I wasn't at work at the moment, I'd be absolutely sobbing... this cover is so beautiful ❤️ Edit 8/19/23: I saw this live in Worcester on this tour and absolutely SOBBED. Hearing this is an out of body experience. Shook me to my damn CORE.

[@CheyMarieW16]

Don’t worry, I think I cried enough tears for the both of us

[@ggaarreenn]

Noah is so humble and kind to have the song as a duet between both him and the recording of Keaton. I love them all, this song is so emotionally rich and heart-wrenching. Noah and the band could not have picked a better song to pay tribute to and with his best friend.

[@momdadschannel2401]

Dork...

[@агония-ш4д]

I didn’t even know he died until now and I’m losing it

[@hondaracer273]

I was listing to this in the grocery store and lost it when he started singing

[@jrgomez7995]

“There’s a sickness living inside me “ that’s crazy

[@valor4810]

The way he says "hello" in the beginning hits me a certain way. You can feel the pain in how he has to introduce the band in place of Keaton. This cover couldn't have been done better by anyone else. R.I.P Keaton 🤟🖤

[@Ranakade]

Can we acknowledge the fact that EVEN THE FORMER BAND MEMBERS OF TCTT came back to perform just to pay their last respects to Keaton Pierce?! Just wow❤️💯🙏 Playing it in this key felt just right for this tribute.

[@нигер1488]

Как и с Bad Omens, с TCTT я познакомился еще когда про них никто не знал и обе группы сразу зацепили меня. Когда я узнал про Novocaine, это было для меня шоком. Обожаю этот кавер, обожаю Novocaine, очень хочу попасть на ваш концерт, но к сожалению я живу в россии😢

[@ashsouthwell]

One of the most touching parts of this performance for me was how Noah sung every line except "don't you dare say I'm gonna make it " and "there's a sickness living inside me" to which he left for Keaton's original vocals. I'm not sure if this is symbolic to Keaton's sudden passing but the more I think about it the more emotional the song becomes for me. Regardless, KP would be so proud of this and everything Noah stands for

[@JacobG]

Its a backing track but the vocals are noahs

[@imaginecloudsxo7987]

So so so true🤧💔 he really didn't sing these lines omg... it's truly a wonderful (but heartbreaking) tribute💔🤧

[@nelayo4894]

@@JacobG It sounds more like keaton though, I believe that the backing track is actually the original version sung by keaton

[@asre1503]

100% Keaton singing on the original there

[@henrycervantezzz5566]

​@@JacobGthat part is definitely Keaton

[@modern_.tragedy]

Noah can make any song sound as good as the original May Keaton rest in peace 🖤

[@diablows1909]

I've seen hundreds of shows, some of the greats, and this was my favorite concert of all time. Unbelievable show.

[@eringullion8363]

Same! Out of all of the shows I have ever been to.. being at this one has topped all of it. I’ll never forget it!

[@thesummit615]

Yes, like they said…it was an experience, and I just don’t believe that the emotion they bring can be replicated. Bad Omens deserve the success they are receiving.

[@diablows1909]

@@eringullion8363 It would have been even better for me, but had some drama while waiting in line. My son is 19 and has a fake ID, he wasn't even planning on drinking and accidentally gave the guy the fake ID (which is a really good one, he's used it hundreds of times) dude immediately took it, took my son to the front, scanned his ticket so I couldn't resell it or give it away, and banned my son from the venue. We were 3 hours away so he had to sit in the car the entire time. I was fucking devastated. Going to shows with my son is my favorite thing in the world. I think they went too far with it, they should have just taken the fake ID and been done with it. He still had his real one that proved he was over 18. It was a 10/10 show for me, but it would have been 11/10 with my son, we had been waiting on this show for months now, we both LOVE Bad Omens, Dayseeker, and Make Them Suffer. We had never seen Bad Omens before. I was so fucking sad.

[@gntrihg]

I fucking cried when they did this live. Hit me hard when they had Keaton singing w Noah omgggg 😭😭

[@brandongoldenbaum3597]

As someone who also knew Keaton, this is incredible and he was definitely with you on that stage every night

[@adityaspx]

Here is the lyrics so we can sing along with them. Take a step inside my mind As my eyes are open wide In my sleep I turn and toss To rebuild the heart I lost You can tell me what you want Forming once and lovers lost Paper thin your words they haunt my dreams The seams have come undone Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it 'Cause I don't believe a word you say Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it 'Cause I don't believe a word you say There's a sickness living inside me You can spare me all your sympathy Take a second of your time Realize you're wasting mine In the night I lie awake Why rebuild a heart that breaks You can tell me what you want Forming once and lovers lost Paper thin your words they haunt my dreams The seams have come undone Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it 'Cause I don't believe a word you say There's a sickness living inside me You can spare me all your sympathy Just spare me all your sympathy I'm sitting waiting on the sun to rise I know it never will It comes as no surprise So won't you stare into my heart of lies It looks so hungry now It comes as no surprise Don't you dare say I'm gonna make it 'Cause I don't believe a word you say There's a sickness living inside me You can spare me all your sympathy You can spare me all your sympathy

[@lolLeslylol]

Beautiful Lyrics ❤

[@MissYunichan]

Thank you Noah for sharing this, you've honored him well on this tour. He'll live on as long as you keep remembering him 🖤

[@eringullion8363]

Being there right up front.. they came out and my soul shattered. I can’t even describe it. I knew they’d been performing it during this tour and was so excited to hear it, but when the band came out, I lost it. Literal historic moment to me and I’ll never forget being there and then getting to watch this and relive it over and over again.

[@carter_official_yt]

I found out yesterday about Keaton's passing. It was shocking and crushing to me since I found out about TCTT band around this year and now Sympathy by TCTT is my #1 favorite song by that band ❤ R.i.p Keaton, your an amazing singing legend and I love how Noah dedicated this cover to Keaton what a lovely friendship

[@taylacherry2433]

We really need a studio version, exactly like this with Keaton included

[@shika__chan]

Look at Noah in the 3:06 minute of the video. Even bigger tears come to my eyes from the sight of these emotions. It's very heartwarming, very touching and sad

[@DenisAshton]

What a beautiful way to remember him. RIP Keaton Pierce

[@yuliyas7838]

Noah put all his soul in this song. It's so emotional ❤️

[@michaelgraham5242]

What a cover! Such a tragedy that Keaton passed so soon. You can see Noah's pain when the line "there's a sickness living inside me". That hits so hard. RIP Keaton. You will be sorely missed.

[@vicvic505]

Too Close To Touch is a band that I would go to during hard times, from the weight of the world being a little too much to handle, to when I lost my grandpa nearly 9 years ago, when I would feel too overwhelmed, and earlier this year when I had lost my dog, who is more than just my best friend. TCTT helped me through so many things in my life that I could never put into words on how much they have helped me. Losing Keaton hurt so much and I haven't had the heart to listen to TCTT or watch his streams. I thought the world had forgotten about him but this performance brought me to tears listening to TCTT again. Thank you so much for bringing Too Close To Touch and Keaton back to life, it truly means the world to hear his voice one last time.

[@enaxtry]

This song was always very important for me, the fact that you guys cover it as a tribute will never make me not emotional.

[@plantarchy]

i've been a too close to touch fan since their first album. keaton's passing was shocking & absolutely heartbreaking. i had the pleasure of meeting the whole band at the 2017 warped tour in st pete's FL. this tribute is beautiful & honestly has me in tears. you're so missed, keaton.

[@schecter0elite21]

SOOOOO much respect for Noah & the rest of the band for making this happen 💙 We love and miss you Keaton

[@caitlinholloway2627]

This was the first TCTT song I ever heard, sadly I didn't know of them until after Keaton passed. This is beautiful, and the love all of you have for him pours out in the performance. I know this is super late, but I'm so sorry for the loss of a friend, band mate, and all around genuine and kind person.

[@dust4207]

No better way to honor a friend. The one thing you guys really love... May all of you carry his legacy! What a heavy song. ♥

[@LoneConkorror]

Noah really meant it when he said that Too Close To Touch and Keaton Pierce had a massive impact on Bad Omens' sound as a band and Noah's singing. Man, how Noah captured the essence of Keaton! Felt almost as though it was Keaton singing in Noah's body. Incredible work, Noah, and Bad Omens. I'm sure Keaton smiled down at this performance when watching it ❤

[@matreshkamua]

Очень трогательно и грустно. Не просто музыка, а признание, исцеление и возможность сказать то, что видимо не успел…

You are some of the kindest most wonderful artists on todays Music scene. I can’t wait to see you live again soon ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LouisD99]

Genuinely gives me chills. I can't think of a better singer to keep the heart of this song intact while giving it his all in his own voice. Lot of guys with crazy levels of talent out there and Noah's definitely on that list.

[@Astora_211]

Theres no way this exist, its fucking great!!

[@harrisbueller]

A powerful tribute. His art lives on through you all, and now us.

[@Annemone00]

This cover song hits me so hard. Recently I was diagnosed with cancer. I hate the thought of telling people because I feel like if they look at me with eyes of sympathy I wont be able to stay as strong and strong as I currently feel. Rest in peace Keaton. ❤

[@TheDoooburner]

Keaton has easily one of my favorite voices in any genre

[@mandimolkentine8559]

My dad passed away days before the Milwaukee show and I’ve never cried at a concert but… Noah opened up and spilled his heart and soul to us. It meant the world to me to be able to be at a show, which my dad would want me to be at… and be able to make him apart of it in my own way. Keaton was there, and so was my dad. Noah invited all of our sorrow…. Thank you Noah, RIP Keaton,RIP dad. 11.08.22

Keaton was an incredible person! he was an angel! I’m so grateful for every minute of his songs. so grateful for the care he provided me through his music during a difficult time. he taught me a lot and there are not enough words to express my gratitude for everything he did. he will always live in our hearts 🕊️🤍🤲🏼 thank you Bad Omens for this tribute!

[@missbittykitty1506]

I love that he has inspired so much into Noah's sound now. If you have heard his music from 2019 to today it's so drastically changed. I'm hoping keaton is a reason he is coming out on top as one of the best metal vocalists for a LONG time.

I cried so much in Minneapolis during this part of the set. It’s such a beautiful tribute. And the fact that the rest of the band was invited to be a part of this specific performance makes it even more incredible. Keaton had such a dynamic voice and a wonderful way of expressing his emotions in lyrics. He will always be alive in his music. Thank you, Bad Omens, for making moments like this to keep Keaton’s memory alive.

[@CheyMarieW16]

Missing someone you never met is such an odd feeling. Too Close to Touch’s music was there when I needed it most. Keaton’s voice and his lyrics touched my heart in ways I never knew music could. I’m sad I never got to meet him or see him perform. Thank you Bad Omens for letting his voice live on. Thank you so much for this..

Cannot get over the choice to keep Keaton's vocals for part of the chorus. So fucking beautiful and a perfect tribute

[@TyBowman117]

I've been listening to Too Close To Touch for a year or so on and off. I had no idea Keaton had passed away. Sending my condolences to the friends and family. That was a beautiful cover that many if any could sing well besides Keaton, thank you Noah and the remaining members of Too Close To Touch. Rest In Peace Keaton, you are missed...

[@imthecrazyone23]

I just found Too Close To Touch very recently from my buddy Alex. I listened to the song they released recently with Noah on it and was very surprised how good it was. I looked deeper into the band and found out that Keaton was the friend Noah has spoken about that passed many times and was instantly sad af... Keaton was a great vocalist and I wish he was still around to make us great music still. Too many amazing vocalists taken away too young...

[@dntwatermygarden9773]

I recently got into bad omens songs about a year ago and shortly after I came across too close to touch. The “Haven’t Been Myself” album has healed me in so many ways than I can even put out there. I love so many of their songs and the more I discover too close to touch the more I understand why Keaton Pierce was so loved. Finding out Noah was Keaton’s best friend and heavy influence was truly inspiring for me and brought me to tears. You did wonderful Noah! Rest in paradise Keaton, may you continue to sing your soul away in everlasting peace 🫶🏻
