I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

[@trevorjanes128]

You know that was something special, right? The whole sound and vibe are unreal.

[@dkeener13]

I guess this is the highest compliment I can give to people playing someone else's music, but I honestly never fully realized just how great this song is until right now.

[@emichels]

It's absolutely perfect....

[@vigomat]

Exactly, the same feeling here...

[@staceylein1877]

I agree, so smooth.

[@als4817]

Production is very good, adds to an already stellar performance

[@7Yearsmarty]

Well said

[@krumarnaudov]

Carson's vocal performance here is sublime.

[@hopechambers]

I keep coming back to this version, could listen to it all day long. I love Carson's voice x

[@aswtx75]

Wow that’s one of the best covers of this song I’ve ever heard

[@POTThaesslich]

Immaculate playing, but the best version for me remains Ben Harper/Jennifer Nettles, that version can set air on fire...

[@LadywatchingByrd]

Carson's bro Skylar does a great cover. No offense I love it better. This is nice, but Skylars version has..oomph.

[@LadywatchingByrd]

I don't want to offend either of you b/c you have reawoken (?) music in me. The discovery of your gorgeous art, both solo and collaborative, has immensely helped my soul. You both even got me to finally buy a cute li'l acoustic Yamaha, so thank you for soul medicine and inspiration during this very trying year.😊☺🤗🎉

[@caleb.lindsay]

If you haven't seen Matt Anderson's version, check it. absolutely incredible. my favorite. i absolutely love these two so much, but his definitely has my heart.

[@jkxelor1295]

Shane that’s what they do

[@littlebighead15]

To think this vocal take is live and in one shot. The boys delivered as per usual.

[@JoseVelazquez-su5nm]

Carson's voice is just so damn smooth.

[@keithwigley1256]

Jewel of a cover...not overproduced.. well played and sung..

[@targetglen]

Carson's voice has so improved over the years; the intonation, the timbre, the timing... Wonderful. And stick to the friends jamming in the basement format, it clearly works very well for both of you.

[@dfighternelams6387]

I completely agree, he’s come so far

[@ArchFundy]

I was thinking the same thing as I watched this.

[@loriemckinstry5652]

oh yes..he is wonderful

[@markadams7328]

You are all correct! And it's always a bit awkward to complement someone like that, because it infers that they weren't that good to start with. BUT, we all know that Carson was already good! He's just jumped to that next level - REALLY GOOD!

[@cunard61]

Excellent choice of arrangement, chords and singing. Easily the best cover version out there. The future of great music is safe in the hands of young people like you.

Very nice comment, gotta say

[@blagship543]

[@jurzeejozee41]

I cant even..... SHEEEEEEESH !.... the singing - the playing - the lighting - the filming - sound - all perfect.....mesmerizing

[@husker22chad63]

I love the squeaks of the fingers going up and down the strings. Not sure why, but I always think it adds another layer to acoustic performances. With that said, this is pure gold, guys. This song is hauntingly beautiful. Definitely on a short list of the most perfect songs. You guys absolutely nailed it. Such a great cover.

[@gatoryak7332]

Interesting. I think that the finger squeak on this recording is excessive and detracting.

[@seancampbell9740]

Josh is the deal 👌

[@suzyroo3477]

I love the squeaks too.

[@johnnpicante6120]

The high vocal starting at 2:03 is outstanding. Great rendition.

[@barbarag.5521]

Yeah, that. And the whole thing. Outstanding. 👍

[@smerchly]

He has a great vocal range . He hit some low low notes in Folsom Prison blues . These guys are great !

[@NoahGoldstein]

Close your eyes, meditate, zone in on yourself with this playing in the background. It's heaven.

[@fudobakari]

This is the right way to cover a song.

[@j.m.hunter1429]

These guys always have fun and put their hearts into the music.

[@child_of_gaia1836]

I could listen to you two 24/7 you are my favourite duet of all time with others I have to be the mood but you two I am always in the mood I just love your sound and you two are always tight in your playing and singing. I am 55 and thankful that I was here to witness your partnership.

[@MasonH24]

It really is a perfect song. I've heard it covered many times, sometimes great, sometimes terrible.. but this.. this is something else. This is on another level beyond. Great work.

[@cricketbat09]

Never listened to much Springsteen, but this is exceptional.

[@danielueblacker9118]

the boss is ok, but Carson and Josh are THE BEST.

[@Manbearpig4456]

Shame on you both, Bruce Springsteen and the E street band are the greatest band of all times!!

[@acousticpsychosis]

I was 4 or 5 when this was released, and to this day, whenever it comes on, if my family is around they all start singing 'oh oh oh I'm yo fwiend', as I mistakenly did as a kid. Some things you just never live down... lol

[@DMR6262]

That’s cute. I was a lot older when I first heard this song and always thought (until just now) that Springsteen was singing, “...and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my ‘soul’”. I’ve been singing it wrong for decades!

[@rickbullock4331]

You guys are phenomenal. The guitar playing and vocals are exceptional to my old ears. Well done gents.👍👍🇨🇦

[@Rayray552-b7g]

This is absolute perfection ! Anyone who dislikes this had to have been beaten by a guitar when they were kids and it busted their ear drums. The harmonies with the 2 guitars and voices soothes my soul so I can feel good about life for at least another night. You 2 kids are amazing and I wish you all the best

[@michaelosolosax]

Wow, no guitar solo, but a Carson "Hooo hoo" ... such a simple piece of music and such a beautiful sound ... well done ... pleasure ... Thank you!

[@almogchaim7943]

I wish this cover lasted longer. Really amazing work, guys.

[@LaurenceWindy]

I was just thinking exactly the same thing. Each great on their own, something really special together. Though having seen them each do songs with quite a few other people it seems like they bring something special to each combination.

Incredible arrangement and rendition! Your musicality is a treasure. The rim shot effect Josh is able to get from his percussive playing is terrific too.

[@evelynvergos5634]

Oh wow!!!! This is by far my favorite cover of this song and is on replay. Both of you are exceptional players and singers and bring such a positive vibe to the songs you perform. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@marcopatro]

Being a huge Springsteen fan for, well, ages let me just say... this has left me speechless. His songs are the soundtracks of so many parts of my life; it's good to hear your cover but still feel at home as hearing the original!

[@macedindu829]

The only thing I didn't like about this one was that it was short. I was able to remedy this somewhat by listening to it a second time straight away. Great job!

[@m.a.c.8366]

[@albertbatfinder5240]

Wish I knew how we’ve gone from mixing studios the size of the Houston Mission Control to two dudes and one mic holed up in the guest bedroom, and still get audio as clean, as bright and as warm as this. OK, I concede we are dealing with exceptional raw material. Maybe that’s got something to do with it, haha. Carson’s covers are, as ever, on fire.

[@hey-jax]

Add to that: They only captured audio from a Zoom H2. No separate tracks for vocals & guitars. They are wonderful musos but whatever Josh does in post is also magic. I'd love to know how he manages to put the sound in our ears like that, so cleanly. Very professional from very little. It makes publishing accessible to so many more of us - if we only knew how!

[@allisonmacdonald6035]

Played this at last nights gig - sounded NOTHING like this and I wish it would have. AMAZING work fellas.

[@thomasmoores8239]
