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]

woaaahhh spooky! found this at 12 and I'm almost 21 now! I always find myself coming back to this song

[@degeneratealex]

same, this shit is still a straight banger

[@daltoncorveau617]

This song had me enthralled with the group. Was 20 back then and actually doing my own covers for KZbin funsies. Then the great purge came.

[@itbe_sierra]

One of the best acoustic songs I’ve ever heard. So iconic.

[@Lil123Jonnie]

A young Andy. I remember when this dropped and i was just struck in awe with the RAW vocal range!

[@julianwilt899]

2020...Covid 19 quarantine got me in my time capsule. This is a gem

[@Hvpno]

[@meganmichele7311]

I love how the siren in the background at 0:37 is totally unplanned but totally fitting

[@xXiAmkatieXx]

I was just thinking about that!

[@Samurai-ub6ew]

Yeah

[@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

[@FrankiesteinTheWeirdo]

[@stevenblair9454]

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]

[@suprateemkashyap7187]

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

[@therealtomfoolery]

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

[@its_Obsidian]

[@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.

[@fatimabadillo8799]

gosh this will always be my favorite

[@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.

[@DRUMandSCOOT]

Like a king. Crown him

[@kiro4115]

2019... Still listening... Sti my favorite song... Thank.you for existing. CTE

[@jeiynossi70]

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

[@WolfBeats98]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@housekuckadv]

This song is still giving me goosebumps after all this yrs💜💜

[@mitzritz3630]

His voice makes me tear up.... its that good!

[@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.

[@andrewvelasquezkawiii3383]

thank u crown the empire your music speaks to me......

[@Brandon-leeMusic]

love how just does his thing and shuts out anything around him

[@lyndsiisajczuk1367]

I love music. And this song right here is my favorite song in the entire world. Hands down. Got me through so really dark places in my life.

[@nakah4108]

I keep listen to this song every year and simply its the song of my life! How i love it the same way as the beginning!! Thanks guys for this masterpiece!

[@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

[@emilieroy3354]

wake me up is one of my favourite songs by u guys and this acoustic version is wonderful, Andy's vocals almost made me want to cry. That was wonderful

[@katogaming1287]

[@kevinkeeto4969]

[@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

[@deachoneverett4789]
