Emerson Hart - Tonic - If You Could Only See - Mix 96.9 Unplugged

[@DWtechfan]

There's not too many artists who sound as good or better doing live acoustic songs as their studio versions of songs. Emerson Hart sounds amazing here and he is very underrated both on playing guitar and vocals. This is probably my favorite Tonic song and he made the acoustic version here something special.

[@bshaker1188]

Stunning performance. Saw Tonic in the early 2000’s on New Year’s Eve in Red Bank, New Jersey and it was awesome!

[@Jason22Douce]

what they dont tell you growing up is the best performances of any song isnt the studio version, isnt the huge stadium venues, but the small group ones. here is another example. great stuff.

[@PushPastParalysis]

I will never be tired of this song.

[@KHKPRIME]

Wife’s about ready to kill me, going on a month and I can’t stop singing it out loud . I mean come on! A month! 🤪

[@travisharrisphotography]

39 years old, this song.. my all time fav. Brings me right back to high school and memories of my first real crush on a girl :-) This is like a time machine. Love it.

[@sugameltpastriescoffee7186]

I'm 39 as well brings me back to 97 high school days just learning how to play guitar

[@driver4818]

[@stavros693000]

@@sugameltpastriescoffee7186 im 42 and remember seeing them play live at the chapel....i popped my cherry to seal-kiss from a rose in 1995! ahh the good 'ol 90s! ....best film, music and party era EVER! BTW how are your guitar skills today? you still play? I do, i always have an acoustic at the ready.😉

[@kevinmagee8955]

His voice sounds exactly the same as it does on the CD

[@denyswilliams5438]

No, it sounds even better! Have a nice day Kevin.

[@mikewarren3597]

WOW, had no idea this guy was so talented. Always loved tonic, but WOW

[@petersonlafollette3521]

Thinking the same- this captures their songwriting essence...

[@IaMoDiNaRy]

Awesomely talented man! How many singers can nowadays can sit, sing, play the guitar and sound as great as the studio release???? VERY FEW !!! He's the REAL thing, people!!!

[@atdejong]

This was the first song I downloaded on limewire. I have so many happy memories as a result of it.

[@killerbees1350]

Who’s here in 2020 still enjoying this?

[@scottbetz1298]

Raw vocal talent ... something that has been missing in the music industry for a while now .. I'll take substance over style any day.

[@iamseetherfan]

Incredible voice. Fantastic song

[@klani1211]

I love this song so awesome, this will always be one of my top ten favorite songs in the 90s.

[@BillyPollock80]

this song really holds up well over time. so beautiful

[@gsxesx]

Still here in July of ‘23. Emerson is damn incredible.

[@uluvmycrazymind07]

Wow, his voice! That's talent.

Omgggg that voice!

[@katherinepatterson6143]

I am so amazed at all the music he gets out of 6 strings and his voice. He is so talented!

[@shimmeringdrums1389]

I love his voice, this song, the rhythm, string sounds on guitar...melody etc ! It's one of my favorites 😍 ❤️ ♥️ 💙💙💙

[@gordpedersen543]

Very cool song 🎵

[@iknowwhatuthink]

Have always thought this was a great song. I wish he were still writing stuff like this.

[@ixscientist]

Barry Kuban I love this song too. I think we write songs based on what's going on in our lives and it's magic when it touches someone else too. But we can't live in the same space forever, so in a way it's good he's moved on

[@iknowwhatuthink]

True. Perhaps his music is touching someone else now.

[@ixscientist]

That's a great way of putting it

[@cindypowers4993]

My heart melts hearing Emerson sing this song solo, great vocals and acoustic guitar ❤️

[@DavidPaigeMusic]

Such a great vocal tone! I love how his studio recordings leave it honest and raw :)

[@kevinmagee8955]

I also noticed his speaking voice and his singing voice are totally different

[@fumanpoo4725]

Fucking great song. Dude you should be proud of this always...

When you love what you do, your heart adds to its depth. Making something good into great. And it shows.

[@richmorelli5950]

Great song and performance!🎼

[@DavidEvans_dle]

"Started every thing for him" I LOVE IT!! This song lyrics, its one of those old school college radio station type songs. While going to DeVry songs like these keep me motivated!!

[@KareenBurgosPappas]

Me too. I went there too!! Hardest time of my life. Worth it!!

[@cheryl6404]

[@StropSharp]

correct me if I'm wrong unplugged versions of songs are when they were concieved. both versions are master pieces done by the originator who cares of small mistakes....I appriciate both versions.....

[@westrokker]

[@sicariusperemo3789]

Very nice cover man!!!

[@statman7]

+Ole Hendriksen cover?

[@matttappan2171]

Sicarius Peremo this is the original artist dummy.

[@sicariusperemo3789]

Oh the irony, when people doesn't understand sarcasm... :S

[@sicariusperemo3789]

A joke!!!

[@fedorspank]

I just about died when I read this!

[@Kostaki05]

Tig trager what you doin?

[@jeffreyd508]

Funny how singers pretend that their hit song was one of many. "Hey guys, gonna play this one song, maybe you know it......." Ignoring the fact that everyone is there to hear THAT song. LOL

[@rafetizer]

All said though, this comes off a great album

[@batesmotel282]

Jeffrey D savage but true lmao

[@spencercoe3804]

Jeffrey D You do know that Tonic had more than one hit right?

[@georgebarry3153]

Jeffrey they had a bunch of successful songs, and played all over the World..many times. Maybe you're thinking of someone else.

[@mattk2]

It's called great showmanship, and is sorely missed today.

whats the strum pattern?

[@S4M10L4]

Please tell me you're being sarcastic about the back street boys. Everyone's taste in music's different but very few people still like that lot these days.

[@wheelsmcdealsace]

Would like to apologize to all of the girls i dumped for the next one.

[@justinsears7543]

Then do it. You won't have forever... and you never know. You might fix alot of unseen problems. don't text it to them or message them. Talk to them face to face. My ex apologized to me. 4 years after the fact. And it still made all the difference.

[@FrostyMagna]

Gets better with age!! Great muso :D Check out my cover of this song on my channel! A tribute to good music and a great band!

[@ertonyrn]

did u just reference the "backstreet boys" and "geniune music" in the same sentence? lol.... canned, studio-produced, no musicianship, asshat pop...is not "real music". I suppose you have Bieber in your collection of "classics", also? oh boy...

[@MrYorkieScot]

Back Street Boys??????

[@kickthejamz]

personally i feel like the original track is better then this acoustic live one, he actually messes up a little in this, and its real slow, his voice sounds good though, needs to speed up the tempo

[@TheIntrepidousLlama]

if you want some real music listen to aranda

[@09jpick]

fantastic!!
