Such a great cover! Y’all are extremely talented! Well done! ❤️🤙🎼🎶🎶

[@dougdog360]

Holy shit what a cover.... I'm going off a bit controversial but I think this is as or better than the original

[@reviveMeDude]

Fantastic guys! well done. 😊

As a huge fan of the original band this was a neat rendition. Very cool 👍

[@smygulf]

You guys n gals are nothing short of amazing ❤ Music is love music is life, thank you for bringing it!

[@Char_manzig]

35 year old life long metal head here. I gotta say as a youth i would have gatekept, and scrutinized this without even clicking the link. Blond girls, in pink boots Pop rocking System. Pfft! But these days i dont deny my ears anything they like, and i liked this very much. Amazing work, true to the feel of the song, a welcome rendition. Thanks for sharing the craft with others. Hearing them say "ive never heard this before" but listening, and enjoying. I love that. Great video.

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

Good on you for becoming more open minded with age. Usually the opposite is true. Music is a beautiful thing.

[@auressaion]

This, exactly. Thanks @Char_manzig for wrapping it up. Great rendition, exceptional performance, spot-on harmonies, great progression - and you managed to handle the final part, which kind of redefined "weird ending" for a song. 😅 If I wasn't already in love with the original title, I probably would have fallen for your cover. And it is quite sure I will listen to it again in the near future. So, thank you all!

[@LiamDunne-b1y]

I learnt along time ago to forget about "genres" good music is good music whether that be metal, hip hop or even classical.

[@hendrikusscherphof7348]

I had the exact same experience! In fact, I almost like this version better than the original. Almost, as I do miss the drums going hard as they can go

[@toasttheghost4713]

Agreed. I am 40 and would have done the same thing in my younger days. But I am older, wiser and more open to new music than I was in my youth. I am glad I watched it. It was surprisingly beautiful.

[@frogandspanner]

The keyboard player's intuitive understanding of music is outstanding.

[@tritesy]

[@Jeremy-yt3kz]

Their performance reminds me a ton of Chiodos keyboard lines and it works really well for this cover.

[@KickyFut]

Ah! Dreams is a perfect duet song to cover. Whenever I listen to it, I like to practice alternating between the high part and the low part on random verses to practice harmonies.

As an Armenian American who grew up listening to System, in the same town and community they grew up in, the band and this song hold a special place in my heart. Thank you to the band member who mentioned the Armenian folk undercurrent in their songs. Excellent rendition... very beautiful and haunting. Apropos.

SOAD still speaks to me. War and corporate oligarchs are slowing sucking the earth dry. We must keep our culture, we must keep singing.

[@kmor8829]

That keyboard crescendo around 7:10 unknowingly borrows heavily from a later SOAD song (Hypnotize)...and makes the whole experience even more powerful! I started listening to this as a complete skeptic...that there was no way this could be good. Now, I think there is no way there can ever be anything as good as this. BRAVO! An extremely talented bunch of musicians!

[@imtryingtoworry]

this "cover on the spot" series is the best thing in recent years on youtube. been seriously hooked since ulysses owens' nirvana cover and the amazing prog rock cover of please please please. i can't wait for the next installment! the only thing that would make it better is all the covers making their way onto streaming platforms.

[@WeekndWarriorrr]

Literal cold chills. That was a brilliant and beautiful cover. I absolutely adore when a band makes a song their own instead of a straightforward cover. It doesn't always work but when it does it is like magic. This was insane and gave me a feeling I haven't felt in a long, long time.

I've seen this video several times now, and I keep getting blown away. I'm a big SOAD fan, and of course big fan of this song. And it's not a song that is easy to make a cover of and make it your own - but Fionn did it, and woah how they did it. Goose bumps all over, for me. Every choice and decision they made were absolutely perfect. And what an introduction to Fionn, definitely going to find more music from them on Tidal. Hope this will find its way there 😊

The pacing of the video is also absolutely masterful and really gets you invested into the process, which no doubt helped drive home the final performance. The ending was very well executed, but to me the shining moment of their cover was the dynamic change going into the first chorus. It just has such a weight and significance to it.
