[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

A. Esteban A 🙏🖤

[@thraxman]

Same here too, rock on!

[@Maddjacklee81]

Me too, me too. Been listening to her since before my daughter was born 14 years ago.

[@lucasm1152]

Always returning. EPIC COVER !!!

[@andrewcameron4504]

Always come back to Emily's stuff after 12 years or so of listening to her, and it just gets better every time I hear it

[@jeffreyamolsch6009]

Been listening to BR for 20 years and have heard many covers. Emily Davis does it best. Always pays respect to the song while making it her own at the same time. Bravo.

[@tsasongko]

i've been looking all around for the best generator's cover, and this is the best ever...thanks emily.

[@SonicStrokes]

Eddie Booze has a great cover of this song as well.

[@tsasongko]

Ok thanks GLOhead​ i'll check it out...

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

Gotta be the festival version. ;]

[@Themachomanic]

Pretty sure this is the version I'll play at my funeral!

[@mikesmith2759]

if i was guna have a funeral so would i

[@gigashadow]

"Don't sell me short" for me.

[@clintonmaher6930]

Raab Savage Play it at mine if you like too because listening to this self indulgent butchering of a classic makes me want to kill myself

[@biggusdickus666]

A better funeral song.... "Cease" Because everything must cease.

[@Kageshade]

Listen to "Authority Zero - Today We Heard The News" that's the song you wanna hear at your funeral my friend

[@Ethereal429]

I still come here to listen to this one every so often. Great cover!

[@zzyzx0788]

Sturgeon's Law: "ninety percent of everything is crap." This must be the other ten percent

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

Haha, I like the concept of this law

[@jasonzcomedy]

If you excuse me I'll be playing my acoustic guitar I haven't touched in over 3 years

[@josephmelnyk9988]

This rendition gave me chills, amazing

[@joshkelley723]

I just found this channel and am enamored. The first cover I heard her do was "You". That song has always given me chills, but hearing you do it literally choked me up. You are a Goddess among women.

[@jessicaglaspie9005]

Agreed

[@PianoMod]

This song has a special meaning for me. Among other things, he really fueled my love and passion for BR and helped me through a serious crisis this year. So your unique cover version also has a special meaning for me. A big thank you for that.

[@sethgoodman1030]

This is completely amazing. I really love the slow beginning, just amazing. Super good job covering this song, keep up up!

[@mobiledevice9546]

Emily!!! I hope you still play this song every once in a while just for the hell of it. Would it be too much to request a studio version?😁😋🤘 My favorite cover of one of my favorite songs ever. Would love to hear you playing and singing this through a decent mixer!!

[@FasterCaster]

Goosebumps all over!

[@HenriqueValcanaia]

I've seen this video a billion times over the years and can't get enough of it! Emily you rock!

[@ryan397dtc]

Heard this the first time years ago, still coming back. Absolutely amazing performance. Thanks!

[@CaseTwelve]

I hope br includes you someday in a song. I've always loved your covers, they're so raw and emotional. Thank you.

[@howtomeetwomen-]

IN A TOUR

[@brendancarson8325]

She's been on stage with them singing.. there's footage somewhere

[@kaiseins1]

Best 'Bad Religion' Cover girl ever!!! I love her. ;)

[@michaelwalker3490]

i always come back to your version...thank you love this song...great job my friend!!!!!!!

[@dogwood27]

Whoever who makes a Bad Religion cover and spread their music deserves my admiration.Pretty well done !!! Greetings from Spain .

[@heymadam]

I reckon Greg Graffin would really dig this

[@alexroberts1285]

Late reply but i think theres a vid up of them two meeting and he mentioned having scene some of the covers

[@EmilyDavisOfficial]

Wow. That's quite a compliment. Thank you very much! :]

[@dlawlis]

It's easy to overlook the sorrow that's present in so many BR songs, but you really manage bring it front and center. Good job!

[@nickowens9563]

Emily your version of these Bad Religion songs are second to none. So far I can now play suffer just like you. Now I am learning this song and it's challenging but fun. You make it sound so good.

[@jimmyraydavis5579]

You sound great, Emily...keep up the wonderful covers of one of the very best bands of all time.

[@flynn687]

Nearly 13 years later and still the best acoustic cover of Generator!

[@magistixxx]

Love this for so long and always come back....

[@SuperKc1982]

Randomly came across this because Generator is my fav BR song. And you, have done an outstanding job. Bravo.

[@putrawk]

Watched this since the first time you posted. Over. And. Over. Again. Come to Malaysia, will ya.

[@aaronanderson2731]

This is more punk then any spiky dyed hair studded jacket could be. The mall-core scenester kids need to take a lesson on what punk is by watching this video. Total emotion. Great Cover.

[@jordanwilliams1454]

The original came up in my playlist and I immediately thought of this cover. Then I saw how long ago it was posted and feel -really- old

[@dgrantham976]

dude, your bad religion covers are awesome. You make the songs i have been listening to for 10 years new again . thanks.

[@roccohill2260]

Emily i would like to treat you to a nice seafood dinner.

[@SonicStrokes]

I'm sure you'd like to eat some of her tuna.

[@andypesante]

And then never call her again! Emily is a saint!

[@limamataobmx]

Has been passed 14 years and today i return to listen this great version....congrats from Brazil! ❤

[@elvisburton6199]

Posted 13 years ago and this has been a go-to for me all that time. I hope she's had a great life in that time. Thanks a ton for this Em.

[@bouboutiti3840]

I just find this cover, it's awesome! Lovely voice! Support from France!

[@TheUmaricanDream]

this is stupidly addictive and i need to revisit once every few months

[@ddjino666]

wow, this really moved me. excellent cover

[@karenhennessy8400]

I love the emphasis on the whoas at the end.. such a good part of the song

[@ethanfields3853]

I've been listening to her Bad Religion covers since I was 15 and I'm almost 24. "You" by her is my favorite cover ever

[@mregan24]

What a great cover! One of my favorite bands and one of my favorite songs! Great job!

[@danwhiffen9235]

It was a beautiful rendition 10yrs ago, and it still warms my heart

[@markusm.8302]

Love it! My favorite Bad Religion song in a beautiful acoustic cover. So amazing! Emily, you rock!

[@geo2645]

I keep coming back to your cover. Simply awesome.

[@P3rm4frost]

Bad Religion is really good on acoustic. I play it myself and it sounds like old folk songs.

[@GabryB92]

I've known this song for years, and I love it. But your version just hits me right in the feels. Thanks for bringing back that feeling and more. GG.

[@sighhill01]

I used to be such a bad religion nerd in high school that when we were assigned to write a 15 page essay on whatever you wanted to in English IV, I had 15 pages of Bad Religion facts LOL! So here I am at 2am almost and saying that after a pretty shitty evening, this video has made my day.

[@harmonievideo2761]

I listen to this cover song since 10 years thanks a lot it's a perfect version

[@dgrantham976]

yeah man, this girl is amazing. she makes the songs i have been listeing to for 10 years new again, its so rad.

[@PhilCowin]

doing a road trip of the US and jamming bad religion on my playlist. and then I stumble across this. YES. cheers for doing this

[@BlackHawk2029]

Best Bad Religion cover I've ever heard. damn.

[@summitcodude]

I keep coming back to your Bad Religion covers. They give me tingling sensations. It is amazing to see someone who feels these songs in their soul like I do. Thanks!

[@michaelrojek5394]

Since you've made this, this has been, and still is, my go-to song. In damn near every situation.

[@gives_bad_advice]

Made me cry. It's that kind of song. Skillfully done cover.

[@ryanrappe9286]

Somebody's suburban Mom jams Bad Religion! This is pure gold!

[@chemicalwarfare4418]

I’m an old music addict and it’s difficult to narrow a list of my favorite songs to even my Top 100. This song is one of my favorite EVER (top 10 without a doubt) and you absolutely crushed this cover. Blown away. Please succeed!

[@eduardo5134]

excelente, todas y cada una de las versiones que hace emily

[@asmrbynature3057]

Im playing drums to this now, thanks Emily...your a awesome woman!!

[@AlexMon]

Epic and amazingly full of power and feeling!!!!!!!!!!! This video should have gazillions of views!!!!!

[@trancedsailor]

I got chills.

[@CannaToker420]

This is really helping me in a very dark time in my life, I thank you so much for that.

[@platypuspandemonium6944]

Bad Religion have been my favourite band since I first heard them about three years ago, and despite that I even prefer some of your covers to the originals! Absolutely amazing, keep them coming :)

[@Hardcorevz]

I loved this cover it has so much feeling, it Made my night... You're very talented!!!

[@der-lotse]

Goose bumbs. Know this song since I was a child. Great.

[@kevinfrey1435]

So this is crazy. I was STOKED to find Bad Religion did an acoustic version of this song, but yours was listed right above theirs, so I gave yours a try first. Loved it! Then went back to listen to the BR acoustic version. Yours is BETTER!!! I came back to tell you that, 12 years too late I guess 🤣

[@drskeletorable]

Found this by accident. Couldn't be happier. Thank you for making me smile.

[@DavidHughesEire]

Hey Emily, I've always loved this song, and I always play acoustic versions myself, inspired by the version they did live in Germany '96 (you can find it here on KZbin, it's worth looking up) I just decided to comment so I could tell you, as a fellow musician, that I really love and appreciate your version! I love the way you changed the vocal melody a good few times, particularly in the chorus. This makes it your own, and it totally works the way you do it! I've been listening to you on repeat for the last hour! Much love and respect from Davey, a huge Bad Religion fan and fellow musician from Ireland. :)

[@davidfriend6462]

I come back to this cover every couple years since 2009! Emily rocks!!

[@anthonywhite4500]

June 1st 2020. I'm still returning to this, one of the greatest covers of are time

[@ATHIP12]

I'm late to the party, but the algorithm got it right! Wow, this was SOOOOOO Good! Chills.

[@brandon75173]

I have seen most of your BR covers and this one was certainly toward the top of the list. Well done. Good no matter what your benchmark.

[@SteveSupreme5k]

Im in Love! This is a great cover.. Well Done! You are beautiful and have an awesome voice!

[@jb111082]

As a fellow guitarist....your voice is powerful and your playing on point. This whole video, I was watching your right hand. You have absolutely nailed that strumming pattern.

[@VaneWalker]

This is one of my favorite Bad Religion songs. I can't believe how good this sounds. Acoustic is awesome and Emily makes it only one thousand times better.

[@CazianLucao]

since 09 i cant spend more than a couple of months without watch this cover. u do an amazing job emily, and thank u for your work. kisses from Brasil!

[@SilkToasts]

Damn, yo...ten years. Crazy. 💜 This my favourite song. Would love to see an updated version.

[@terojarvenpaa9223]

[@dominiclacroix9489]

[@TokeBoat]

[@hangnail316]

In 2023 it’s still beautiful.

[@13simonster]

[@marceloslopes7446]

Oh wow that is so freaking amazing 😍 I was searching for a acoustic version of that song because I'm learning how to play and I just loved it 🤘🤘🤘

[@pfkmsandiego]

[@hanakindateland2000]

何回聞いても飽きない

[@TroggDoor]

I need to seriously stop looping your youtube videos 24-7. My girlfriend is getting wary. Thanks you for calming my soul. Years of shrinks and PTSD nonsense haven't even come close to your level of help.

[@artstigile-wright8321]

Loved it and thought it was a great cover! The explosion of energy at 0:53 was great and hearing your cover this really made my day. Thanks!

[@user-cl3xv9dj3f]

Love this she kills it amazing talent 😊

[@chuckreis1]

i had just felt in love with your tunes!!! congrats for the great taste!!

[@ZackKXPower]

I've heard this song a million times but only when I hear her do it can I actually make out all the words! So thank you for that and great cover.

[@music_holds_my_fading_soul]

this cover is literally drop dead good.

[@Thatonedude81772]

This is like my favorite song now.. the emotion is what makes it so good you can really tell that you feel this powerful music.

[@bradkerr3816]

Gets better every time i watch this!!

[@secretcompass2012]

this chick rules. seriously, you can tell she's a Bad R. fan
