@@toddkennedy3929 all im saying is its not the best acoustic version of a song there is

[@InfectedVirusX]

Da Balooga you're telling someone their opinion is wrong, because your opinion is different... what? You act as if there's legitimately ONE TRUE best acoustic song. Everyone has their opinions, and a lot differ. Be humble and respect others, don't be like a stereotypical religious person and force your ideologies down others throats because they differ from you.

[@sdunn0417]

Bump this brotha

[@EvilVonRetee]

And THIS is how real professionals perform... vocalist is on fire!

[@SprigganFR]

I love that his voice sounds exactly the same, with so many bands recording and only using the perfect material, or straight up modifying it to sound better, you go to concerts acoustic sets like the Planet of Sound and find they just sound different. They don't sound as good, so when a singer uses their natural voice when you go to concerts and stuff you never feel let down because it sounds just as good.

[@5hAwNf3rT1g]

Jesse Lacey One of my favorite things about Hurt is they don't autotune. and I don't mean that just with J's voice I mean that across the board. If you listen to their albums, the first two especially, you can hear missed notes, string drags, scratches and all sorts of things but it makes the music HUMAN! It makes it real. People aren't perfect and knowing that this is someone playing the best that they can and pouring their heart into it makes the music that much better to me. I'll never understand the infatuation with autotuned perfect music that can't be duplicated without a computer. I want real, raw, talent to drive the music that I listen to and nothing more.

[@SprigganFR]

That's kind of like what I was saying with the voices as well, if you like a band you don't want to see them in concert and feel like they don't sound as good.

[@bobdole716]

Seriously, who crushes an acoustic song this hard without sounding over-sung. The hair is still standing up.

"She swore she heard, the voice of jesus, telling her, its wrong to keep it, and one more thing, it looked like me, back when it breathe, rest in peace." Amazing song.

I found them in a dark time 10 years ago. Never fails when you need it.

[@jeremyemery1438]

Same here brother, there’s something deep about their music, can’t get enough. They need to bless 2021 with a new appearance

[@ShoahBiz]

forever thankful Hurt played in my shitty state all those years ago

[@nqphoto]

Most underrated band of all time. Still here 20 years later.

[@okerina]

The problem with me and this band is that every time I hear them, they demand my full attention. My emotions go up and down along with the song. Angry. Wistful. Cynical. Melancholy. I can't do the jig or play Wii Fit while I'm listening. I can only fixate my eyes on the wall and space out. I fall in love all over again every time I hear them. Which isn't always good for my health. Maybe J. Loren doesn't do the KZbins, but if he ever does some day, I want him to know he's a marvelous artist.

[@hedgegina]

Erik Oliveira twelve years now my friend! Time flies I was like 13 when this song came out lol.

[@MrSoldierbound]

That's what's great bout music...eternalized

[@RyTrapp0]

To think that they never got the real push that they deserved - even in 2020, it's still unbelievable. In fact, the more time that passes, the more ridiculous it seems, "radio friendly" music(and, let's be real, that still includes everything from Rush in the past to Tool in the present, it isn't a derogatory term) has devolved at an alarming rate. There's still a LOOOT of great material out there, but you have to dig for it today, there isn't much interesting that's anywhere near the surface. 2020 could really use Hurt TBH...

[@flawlix]

This is the song that led to me discovering this band. And every time I listen to their discography, I feel like I’m re-discovering them. Can’t believe it’s been 14 years since the first time I heard this song...

[@warmachineorwhat]

same. Mofo J Loren pointed at me in a show and was like “I like you” lol

[@superhangry6322]

When I first heard this song years and years ago, it was just a badass song. Then, after paying more attention to the lyrics, it became a powerfully emotional song. I never read into whether or not it was true... maybe because my brain didn't want to know... but years later, after happening upon this live performance, there's no doubt. Now, it's beyond a powerfully emotional song and evolved for me into something I can't listen to without devoting everything I am to the next 5 minutes. Absolutely... best acoustic performance of a song I've ever seen.

[@JarodTaylor]

Seriously one of the best acoustic performances I've ever seen. J. Loren Wince puts everything into his performance. Love it.

[@redbikedelivery]

This is one of the most amazing acoustic versions of a song I've ever heard. J kills the vocals and the fact that they sound this good live is freaking disgusting, in a good way. By far the best band that hardly anyone knows about. I wish I could write like J. His lyrics never cease to amaze me.

[@sportsterhd2005]

I've been watching/listening to this exact video for ~14 years and to this day it is one of the greatest examples of acoustic excellence that I can think of.

[@DIv15iON]

1:41, the eye rolling and stuff... Crazy it's like he goes into some kind of zone. Perhaps evidence of how passionate he is abut the song?

[@nursenajdek]

That performance makes you feel every last bit of it. Most incredible acoustic performance I have ever seen. Simply mastered.

[@iWyKeD]

Still unreal. Gives me chills.

[@sujithemd]

It's 2019, this just remains as the best acoustic performance! Sadly, the entire band broke up except the drummer, I guess. Hope J Loren Wince finds just the right members who would remain with the band forever for making such beautiful music. You are `bad ass` J Loren

[@kirbyc4211]

Hurt is so amazing. They deserve a more. J had parents that didn’t approve of music and they were not aloud to listen to any in the house. No wonder he turned out to be such an amazing artist. This song is so deep as he talks about how his wife killed their baby because god told her to. I couldn’t imagine.

[@nicholaslang6187]

Waiting for this comment. Many people don’t even know this is a real song

Gosh I miss this band. I have all of their releases (even B-sides and Footnotes) and know there were label and health issues J had but I wish they'd come back and release new music. With that said, I love coming back and watching these performances. I was lucky enough to see them live a few time for both the Vol 1 and Vol 2 tours. I wish more "popular" music was as real and honest as Hurt.

6 minutes and 8 seconds ago I wouldn't told you black by Pearl Jam on MTV unplugged is the most intense acoustic performance of all time.

[@mistermoshi6505]

Funnily enough, J Loren (the vocalist) on the commentary track for Besides & Footnotes says that Pearl Jam was one of his biggest influences for the band.

[@glenhumphrey4473]

the emotion in this song hits very close to home. I had a friend who introduced me to my wife almost 9 yrs ago. she introduced us after her and I decided it wouldn't be a good idea for us to date because of our positions in life at the time. she later met a guy who became a good friend. eventually they had a falling out and she skipped town with their 2 boys who were 5 and 6 yrs old. she and a friend of hers were recently held on charges because they beat the children so badly the 5 yr old passed away from injuries and the 6 yr old thankfully recovered. I really hope this song helps people cope with the pain of life and all the horrors we face everyday. it helps me remember little Damyan. R.I.P. little man! 😚✌

[@tylerweldon1530]

The end of this song is mind blowing. What a song.

[@estebanmax9511]

In the life of the wrong a love lingered on, Love lingered on to frustration. And if our love is so wrong, what should we do alone? Or am I just a picture in a photograph? Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died? One who would not deny lovers? And I don't care what they say, if what you need is your faith, Then take a look at my face and know That till your rapture falls to pieces Until your rapture falls to pieces Find in me the room to breathe, Simple things like suffering Life had gone this way Life is gone this way Still in the life of the wrong we all moved along Another life evolved to gestation And so we made our way with the mistake we made But she was just a picture from a photograph So she walked in the baby's room Knowing what she should do Leaves me in absolute horror She put her hand on its lips And gave it one last kiss And sang some tune that went Until your rapture falls to pieces Till your rapture falls to pieces Find in me the room to breathe, Simple things like suffering And I would and I would, destroy your god Yes I would if I could destroy your god Because you're born again Until you're worn again, Until your rapture falls to pieces Till your rapture falls to pieces Find in me the room to breathe, Sinful things like suffering Till your rapture falls to pieces Till your rapture falls to pieces But, if this must be, then burn with me Anything Just don't leave So find in me the room to breathe Sinful things like suffering Till your rapture falls to pieces She swore she heard the voice of Jesus Telling her it was wrong to keep it And one more thing, it looked like me Back when it breathed Rest in peace Until the rapture comes to meet us

One of the few bands that sounds as good or better in acoustic, all for a simple reason and I felt this way about Shinedown as well, his voice sounds exactly the same in studio, acoustic, and live. Some people sound completely different on live and acoustic sets. As much as I love the original version of this song, I think the acoustic is even better, it brings forth his voice and the emotions better than the original.

I walked up to the table with the inserts from Vol.1and 2…J asked if I bought both cds… I said I’ve got 4 of your cds… the band collectively showed appreciation with,”hell yeas” and “that’s what’s up”! They all shook my hand, signed my inserts, and gave me a poster size blow up of the Vol. 2 cover also autographed. Then J and Paul did a few acoustic songs in the shop…including Assurance, which was their most recent radio release. It was awesome! I was within 6 feet of them as they performed! Great giys$
