To the best time of my life like my sister and I were so in all of the barenaked Ladies we were so in love with them! I remember times when they would perform near Cleveland Ohio where we were just always be there after they performed almost chasing after them with them running away yet still being kind to us such amazing performers I do not feel anybody will feel their shoes ever! But I do love to hear new versions of the songs I loved so much!

[@suzannewestcott2145]

Absolutely amazing!! Never tire listening to this song,💜💜💜

[@plef5566]

Love the vocals. No vocal gymnastics just to show off. Soulful and heartfelt. Perfect for the song.

[@moehio]

Beautiful rendition!

[@ZZz-ud3bb]

Increible!

[@benlgordon]

I would pay to see a BNL concert with the Persuasions singing vocals. Awesome job guys.

[@AnitaLife27]

Mind blown! Two of my all time favorite groups collaborate! ❤️🌹❤️🌹

[@okrajoe]

I am really digging this version!

[@stillhere1425]

This song is so powerful, it doesn’t seem to matter which talented singer performs the lyrics. This version was awesome too. I’m going to go see if any female led band totally reworks it. 😢every time.

[@Zsmart]

Amazing vocals.

[@kleetusvandam]

WHOOOO! This might be the best version of this song. ABSOLUTELY FIRE! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@TomasiAkimeta]

My younger brother, younger sister and I grew up in a studio apartment. Cockroaches, rats, an old tree that was outside our kitchenette area, a creepy hippie Buddhist lady upstairs, a super nice gay neighbor who live next to her who fended off these neighborhood punks who kept harassing us, our Datsun 280z, playing hide and go seek around the Cul-du-sac, dodging crazy cousins visiting from Tonga who'd throw dried, white cat poo at us, the one time my dad punched and body slammed some stoner kids who tried to get me to steal his wallet (way before John and Nola was born), that time when I was looking for my 7-Up cans and ended up drinking my dad's entire 6 pack of Coors, me and my younger brother walking 4 miles to the Hyatt Cinema in Burlingame to watch Transformers: The Movie... It wasn't the most optimal place to grow up, but you couldn't convince me then that I was poor. I loved that trashy apartment, and I loved my childhood experiences, good and bad. This song made me think about those times.

[@sandybullinger1530]

love this!!!

[@ryanwebster7873]

This is dope

[@dabeamer42]

Killer vocals!

[@CBDM777]

Wow, respect to the amazing singers. Steven Page is the original and the best.

[@user-yf6rg4rd3g]

今年１番の曲に会いました。 照らす光が神々しい。

[@mikejonesnoreally]

Beautiful work for a beautiful song!

[@PizzaRiia]

This song always reminds me of Active Worlds ... oh so long time ago :)

[@emmanuelpetali7932]

Smooth

[@jch928]

I love this, Awesome

[@andrewbowman9756]

Awesome

[@CB-xr1eg]

Its good but I think there are too many " yeah yeahs " the spaces are there for a reason, no need to fill them.

[@davidfairbairn8]

That was awesome.

[@bobhollon2955]

I saw bnl two times . the last time was March in Detroit. 2nd best concert . the only better concert I've been two was pink Floyd

[@robintaylor-mockingeemill8223]

NICE

[@thisday1098]

great cover #bnlfakenudes

[@miked2654]

It's a great take on a great song. The Persuasions are an extremely talented group. They are well respected within there genre of music. What wrong with it? Its a collaboration. Very common in the music world. What does this have to do with someone who wanted to leave a band and did almost 10 years ago? How is that relevant? Why even watch this if you are so obsessed with Steven Page not being in BNL? Sounds very pathetic after all these years. I don't listen intentionally to music I don't like.

[@danielpatternson6149]

Well said, my man. It’s like people who complain about modern music. “I don’t like hearing this crap on the radio!” Then don’t. No one’s forcing you to listen to the radio. Just make a Spotify playlist of the music you do like or something.

[@Chong.Li.Kumite]

Lacks the deep emotional voice.

[@benprewitt4600]

It's dusty in here. That's it. That's why I'm crying. That's it. Fall coming on...got sinus problems, I bet. Definitely why I'm crying. Nothing emotional. *sniff*

[@marcusmcclure1691]

Fuck yeah

[@miket.220]

The Persuasions sound amazing on this. But it kind of underscores how important Steven Page was to the sound, the harmonies and his vocal.

[@EvelonBeautySoaps]

THEY MAY SOUND GREAT, BUT THOSE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL PERSUASIONS.

[@elizabethc2496]

Everyone complaining about the singer is a dunce. Fine, you like the original better. But it’s basic behavior to crap on talented individuals who’ve made something beautiful. Something you’ll never come close to doing. Good bye, enjoy your mediocrity.

[@medw7013]

And this video shows how missed and important Steven Page was to the band. What a flop. It is like taking the rising yeast out of bread and expect it to rise as opposed to flop. What a flop BNL has been since they got rid of their main ingredient

[@TristanandIsolt]

This guy isn't Steven Page. He tries to sing this, but only Steven can.

[@JoeKingAudits]

Too many yeah yeah's but amazing voice. Sounds like he didn't even listen to original, which is cool.

[@EvelonBeautySoaps]

Ummmm the PERSUASION DID NOT USE INSTRUMENTS. WHO ARE THESE MEN? NOT 1 ORIGINAL MEMBER. HOW DARE YOU IMPOSTORS DESTROY THEIR LEGACY!

[@barrym4079]

Too bad you call it a cover. Its their song except they are missing the real singer. Come on guys, give Steven Page a call. You would make a fortune on the new tour. You are all great, but steven just makes each of you even better. We want him back. yaa

[@eVreckd]

Missing the real singer indeed! This is an insult to replace Steven on this performance/release. The only person who can do it is Ed in concert (not Steve but I can handle it).

[@chadandroid]

Nope.

[@MrHootal]

You Need Steven Page really Bad..

[@CB-xr1eg]

Nonsense, this is just as good as with Page. he left...move on, he has.

bad form to play anything that page had full vocals on....
