Caiola - Dancing in the Dark (Live Acoustic Cover)

C A I • O L A
Jordan Caiola (CAI•OLA) is a songwriter/musician/producer based out of Philadelphia. He founded the indie rock band Mo Lowda & The Humble in 2010 and due to its intense touring schedule, the band became his main priority along with his side project NightSeason (founded 2016)- an indie/electro-pop producer duo. Though he always felt writing folk songs was his true “wheelhouse”, it wasn’t until the nationwide lockdown in early 2020 that he finally put aside the time to record a collection of those songs for his first solo album ‘Only Real When Shared’. Now, Caiola tours year-round with both Mo Lowda and his solo project. His second solo record, entitled 'This Could Be Everything', is set to be released August 2nd, 2024.
Dancing in the Dark is available to stream everywhere.

This is absolutely how this song should have beeen done. Period.

[@chrislake6001]

Both versions are good..come on now..this is just darker..don't have the feel good feeling like the other version

[@parkerlosby8868]

I don't know about all that

[@parkerlosby8868]

I prefer jorgen Dahl moe. His version on the voice was amazing

[@parkerlosby8868]

I prefer the Jorgen Dahl Moe version on the voice myself.

[@emjay95]

This has been one of my favorite songs for nearly 40 years. You have transformed it to a nearly new & worthy version that stands on its own while honoring the energy & feel of the original.

Eu não posso comentar em inglês, porque preciso comentar na minha língua onde posso expressar literalmente o quanto essa música é maravilhosa, esse cover, essa voz, a livraria... conseguiram reunir tantos elementos incríveis em uma performance! Venho ouvindo o cover de Caiola há alguns meses, conectada demais com ele, e vim procurar no youtube se havia uma versão ao vivo, e então encontro isso! Awesome! Perfect! Thank you!

[@MrSasquatch44]

[@robertgold2643]

That was really, really good. I often thought the original was played a bit too upbeat for the lyrics - thanks for playing that great song in a different mood. Beautifully done 🙏

[@ccaputa]

That's a proper cover.

[@shanemoss8472]

Such a great cover of an original classic I'm glad I got to hear this today it's made it a little bit brighter thanks you for your purely amazing talent 💚

One of my favorite songs and your vocal style may have created my new favorite version of it.

What warm strings and resonant singing. All amidst the support of books. So perfect 🌻🎸

Jordan did this old song justice. I thought I'd heard enough of this highly played song, but...

This song will never be old .

[@SigurdMikkelsen]

Wow, thanks for that! The best done acoustic cover I’ve heard for ages! 👏

[@jameswilliams7997]

Beautiful

[@melissanicole05]

❤❤❤

[@KS-my1xi]

Absolutely beautiful. Would love to know the chords if possible please?

[@robertpkhoury]

It is actually pretty much true to the original progression but played with a capo at 2nd fret and both E strings dropped to D. It is basically D, Bm, G and Em with an A added in the chorus. The D in the verse is 1st inversion shape but the open D and A strings in the bass make for a reg D chord. The A chord in the verse goes to a form of sus chord I can’t remember the name of but you could just think of it as Bm7/A. Pretty easy to work out the chord placement but very hard to get the feel and timing of the rhythm, he really nails it.

[@tylergurule9013]

I need tabs for this immediately 😮

[@jenniferslater7187]

That makes two of us! 😅

[@rsteckable]

Tab please. Standard tuning or alternative? Beautifully done!

[@Bruce21477]

Thank you! No this makes perfect sense. Appreciate it, I didn’t think of it being in drop d, but that’s why it sounded off. I guess in the future I should consider alternate tunings when I know I’m playing nearly the same chords and they sound off

[@neospiesser]

[@MarceloAlvesGuitarOfficial]

🙌🏾

[@feroldreymichaeloregencia5187]

Beautiful version of this song. I Love it man. great work!!!

[@BelleRoscoe]

What tuning is that? Fantastic version mate!

[@timothymcevenue]

I think its just a drop D on the top string.

[@valerieagricola17]

[@jaygatsby1]

If Nathaniel Rateliff cut an acoustic solo album of Springsteen covers…..

[@nottheonlyjustin]

I’m getting Bob Seger

[@txwisky4773]

BEST fucking statement on the internet.

[@txwisky4773]

I get some William Fitzsimmons...

[@bws1billsimpson362]

Good call! Sounds a lot like Nathaniel Rateliff's solo acoustic stuff. So good.

[@kellygoodnight2076]

[@hughjosephfeely]

I’m trying to read here!!

[@Bruce21477]

Does anyone know the chords on the 7th and 4th frets? Are these just the root and rest muted or is this the top two strings barred or more of a shell chord? Having trouble hearing/ seeing what he is doing here. Thanks!

[@JDean-vh5dz]

Pretty sure it's drop D and the 7th fret chord is 5th and 6th string 7th fret, 4th string 6th fret. Then the chord on the 4th fret is just 4,5,6. I think the other chords or shapes are D with open 1st string plus 4th string 6th fret. Bm with open 1st string and an Asus. Not sure that all makes sense but it sounds right when I play it. Also sounds like he has the strings muted with tape by the bridge.

[@troy9867]

Can someone tell me what Guild is that?

[@ScottRandall31]

Drop D capo 2?

[@JesusGomez-sn1iu]
