Crown The Empire - "Wake Me Up" Acoustic

[@mean7611]

I remembering finding this video back when I was 12 and being enchanted. I'm almost 21 now, and while my music preferences have shifted considerably my feelings about this song have decidedly not. It's still amazing, still holds up to standards, and is a wonderful example of an acoustic session gone right.

[@beckyglessner1907]

my situation exactly, found when i was 11 or 12 and i’m 18 now, still coming back periodically

[@eduardoaldaco5731]

It’s only been about 4 years for me and my music taste has shifted way off but fuck this song still slaps

[@sottrash]

@@eduardoaldaco5731 omg me too!!

[@HaiItsLizzie]

[@degeneratealex]

[@bunsvworld]

I love it. I love his voice. I love the guitarist. I love the cracks in his voice. I love the scratching of the pick against the guitar strings. I love the whole song. #feelthelove

Still to this day I go back and listen to this song it just hits different, crown the Empire by far is one of the greatest bands to come out in the last 15 years

[@yaotzin385]

Finding this 7 years later has me in a daze... I kinda forgot about crown the empire, but the memories it brings back knows no other. I miss the old days

[@jesterconfit9549]

[@imnotatrashcan]

this has lived rent free in my head for 6 years now

[@AllyVegetable]

I replayed this so many times. This is the first Crown The Empire anything I ever listened to. It's amazing to see how incredible they're doing now. Such a rad band and people all together.

[@claywhite9325]

Amen

[@TehEwglet]

Such Goosebumps.

[@xKerebus]

Honestly, this to me is better than the original. You can hear more emotion in his voice

[@xKerebus]

Honestly.

[@fatalberserker2293]

Agreed, even if I'm a year late, XD.

[@eli.mcfly_]

This world keep pushing down upon me And I keep hoping for a sweet dream There's something left for me to see There's something left for me to be We can't ponder on this world forever You know we can save it, if together Going day by day day by day to make it But my times been wasted Wake me up from this dream that never ends Haunting me, Haunting me til my bitter end Wake me up from this Nightmare that I live Something inside of me keeps on getting in well i keep searching for a answer but time will never tell an youll will never know while my eyes are open wide im sound asleep inside

[@davidhill8476]

26 and still jamming out to the old playlist in 2023 no one makes music like this anymore

[@hubabaloop]

Checking in for the 26 yo reminiscing in 2023 🙌🏽

[@shanew3243]

Facts. Our scene is gone and it's sad. Getting older DOES suck.

[@therealtomfoolery]

I just found this band last night randomly clicking on videos and OMG I was floored! I love it!

[@its_Obsidian]

Storm Slaughter hope you didn't regret it!

[@marmusic4785]

I still come back to this masterpiece every once in awhile.

[@suprateemkashyap7187]

Ill die listening to this song. Heard 10 years back and still gives me tingles down my spine

[@momiji4651]

I personally think it's better than the original.

[@yorlingabdallah1605]

Same

[@momiji4651]

[@wangmijam7409]

I agree

[@louannebeaulieu]

Totaly agree

[@emilymagallan3262]

[@maestyles9853]

[@blakedoesarts]

Eyyy they just did you should check it out

[@IAmTakeru17]

That’s craaaazy

[@debbieiniesta6314]

His voice gives me the shivvers

[@lmaokat7655]

i remember when they posted this. and i still come back and listen to it. this band helped me through so much. and meeting them was so amazing. they are the greatest people ever.

[@GreenyBaby87]

.... Why are people complaining about this video? Yea he cracked a couple of times, but it's realistic as shit, I would say. And he nailed every other part.

[@0423Chris]

Right? Listen to the range of his voice! A few cracks here and there happen..however, I was told he has sinusitis which affects his breathing negatively on any given day. If you listen closely, you can hear it in his voice.

[@alecedwards2331]

"his voice cracked" Yea, so did Cobian's and look at how popular he was

[@DrLordStinkyButtTheButler]

Yea who cares if his voice cracked...at least you know it's real

[@misukiylambertson2764]

It's called falsetto, not a voice crack lmao

[@Star808_]

My ears are in heaven right now... It's so beautiful...

[@fatimabadillo8799]

gosh this will always be my favorite

[@jeiynossi70]

How I love Andy's voice in acoustic covers of their song.. It's like a different him

[@jonahwhite3588]

there is just no flaw whatsoever with this song. it's just perfect, his voice, the lyrics especially, and the guitar accompaniment. someday I hope to be as inspirational, beautiful, and just all around amazing as Andy Leo is.

[@bantoshoe2035]

Pisseddd that THIS SONG DIDN’T make it to the acoustic album 😡😡

[@davianlafountain9032]

[@swedishfolkrap3175]

Listening to CTE helps me... Breathe. Not actual breathing, but it calms me down. It helps me let go of shit that doesn't matter. You guys are amazing.

[@WolfBeats98]

It's been 5 years and this song still gives me chills

[@kaylaharris5590]

It's not an old Crown the Empire song it's an acoustic version, and also don't listen to the song if you don't like it. I don't understand why people go out of their way to just hate on petty stuff.

[@1996Joyous]

Is this guy even real?! :3 OMG I swear I am in love! lol

[@dgtechreviews5979]

Met them last year backstage at Warped. Pretty sure they are. lol

Omg *0* tão perfeito,amo de mais essa música ainda mais acústica,amo amooo.

[@derekguay4008]

Simply Amazing, if you have anything negative to say about his vocal performance here you know nothing.'

[@deionelzie3635]

he sounds so sad, so sad while singing. LOVE it

[@peoplemurdersunsets]

The ability to scream makes sure you have good breathing tech. You use your diaframe through it all he could have had a sore throat been conjested when he did this allergies the fact he was on what key he wanted to be in and the only complaint by people. Is breathing and being music majors should know outside causes could have affected it as a possibilty plus they could have just been up all day happens when you tour if hes a smoker or not his voice is great so airflow might have just been off that day or sore throat

[@bunkbeds3001]

learn to spell diaphragm

[@tylerjreed7889]

Still listening to this gem

[@CaribbeanKitty2]

Andy has an amazing voice, it shows in this performance how strong of a vocalist he really is. :)
