Why is there a bunch of negative comments. It's nice hearing a stripped down acoustic version.

[@jimbauer6326]

Every time I hear a great song one of the first things I do is start looking for an acoustic version. They just seem better stripped down, and this song is no exception. The acoustic version just rocks!

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Awesome. I do the same exact thing.

[@alberts.2562]

In any case, anyone knows what cords they used for this?

[@TerpSlurper0710]

Jim Bauer I thought I was the only one!

[@fitgiddlin21]

Because people know nothing about music. They don't know whats good music. Some people just don't like pop and will downvote it because it's too catchy for them

[@jimbauer6326]

Is it just me or are the acoustic versions always better than the originals? This was awesome.

[@soda5784]

Jim Bauer im here too

[@YoBoyDownUnder]

Jim Bauer They got to get jams to make the song sound the same way with no losing its essence.

THE INTRO SONG IS HOUDINI ACOUSTIC VERSION.

[@choijamts9095]

Reallyy

[@wendigo6188]

The original doesn’t even sound like a foster the People song, but here you can definitely hear his pure voice. Has a very unique sound, kinda like his own accent

[@ams914]

I hope they released an acoustic version because I think this is about a million times better than the original song.

[@qtip4747]

I agree 100%

[@jimbauer6326]

I'd like to see every artist put out "unplugged" albums of their best songs. I think they'd race off the shelves. I'd certainly be right there to help them off the shelf.

[@mrknarf4438]

You should check Chris Schummert's cover. Still acoustic, very different vibe.

[@chuckleloo]

Ahhh the early 2010’s. When I was in a band. Did small acoustic shows like this, had no responsibilities, called out of work to make band practice and spend the night with my friends until 5am. This songs a time machine.
