Soen - The Words (Acoustic Cover by Alex Pilkevych and Katie Thompson)

Alex Pilkevych rocks Soen's ultimate heart breaker "The Words" on classical guitar while I wail along.
Big thanks to Alex for putting together the video and final mix! Keep an eye on his shreddage (and maybe another collab :D) on his channel:

Support the original and cry your heart out along to their music video: • Soen - The Words

Thank you for all the comments, guys :)

[@juice2620]

Dude. Amazing.

[@devina.olivares-reed2367]

So I've listened to this song like 10 times over the past couple of months now and will probably listen 100 times more. I guess I really like this cover. 🤍

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

So flattering to hear :) Thank you!

[@fasjab]

Huge Soen fan and just stumbled across this - absolutely blown away.

[@delightfuldeath2778]

İt is what it should be👍🏻

[@allxtarmusic]

Perhaps the most beautiful cover of a song I've ever heard! I cried listening to this in the shower!

[@luis110274]

Try listening When the Levee Breaks by APC

[@ronnydjhernandez]

A beautiful voice, an excellent guitarist, the perfect combination for this cover... this sis my favorite soen song... great job Dudes

[@NikoHotari]

You both have been getting so much love following this cover, but I have to chime in. I first saw this cover years ago, but that "mend my wrongs" at 4:42 brought me to tears, once again. Legendary cover.

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

that's so sweet, thank you! Man, Soen just writes such heartbreaking stuff. I remember having trouble tracking this song because I'd get quivery thinking about the lyrics.

[@NikoHotari]

@@KatieThompsonVocals Oh man. I guess that makes two of us, and I've only read them. I respect the performance even more now, knowing that.

[@janesims1796]

Biggest Soen fan. What a beautiful and distinct voice this girl has .... just love it.

[@Goldie1977]

I’m a huge Soen fan. This is great. Well done. I would love to see more Soen. Lucidity and river. Good taste in music btw

[@richardwhitethread9215]

Thanks you two. First experience of your duet from one of my favourite bands and, honestly, I watched it again, so impressed. Thank you again.

[@MatnessYT]

Sick cover! Great performance as always. Keep shreddin'!

[@antonioravina]

Good stuff! Amazing vocals and well played on the acoustic.

[@toskar]

As a side note. Thanks to this video I found this channel. I was just checking the video of Soen - The words, clicked this cover... got blown away.

[@akediord]

My god, the overwhelming feels from 2:27 to 3:01. Outstanding.

[@akediord]

Coming back to this ... this is one of the most honest and amazing covers I’ve ever seen. You guys absolutely killed it on all counts.

[@juice2620]

[@jeremiahcloutier5301]

[@kevinkimball7338]

I can't understand how this is so good... Passion u can feel through the strings and obviously the vox speak for themself. I can listen to this weekly and it doesn't get stale

[@jamestroth8057]

An absolutely beautiful cover of an absolutely beautiful song by a band i adore. Great work guys, and great job in the studio! Thank you guys for sharing your talent.

[@clericduran]

James Troth could not say it better

[@mfC0RD]

Just listened to your Rishloo cover and loved it. And now... Soen! Two truly amazing covers of two of my favourite bands! Excellent job!

[@alexcurrie1546]

This is the most beautiful cover. Very well done from both of you. Definitely going to check out other videos

[@IwasakiBR]

I just needed the first minute to subscribe to both channels. Amazing video.

[@MegaCipmunk]

Congratulation!! beautiful cover...i luv soen ...Great version guys....cheers from Italy

[@MatuellaSlipknot]

This is REALLY well built, everything fits really nicely - congratulations. I've seen your awesome Rishloo cover as well - you should definitely create content more often! Your voice is amazing - and I enjoyed it 10x more because progressive metal songs (and related) are the ones that I enjoy the most!

[@ronanjoziah6966]

i know it's kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released series online ?

[@makaiboone2856]

@Ronan Joziah flixportal xD

Wow. What BEAUTIFUL harmonies!!! Fuck!!! 💪👏❤️❤️❤️

[@faridfereidoony227]

OMG! you both have voice of an angle. The voice is great, the guitar is great and of course arrangement is awesome. I just realised if you would have used cello in chorus part it would be even more awesome.

[@bloodeater]

haunting

[@eliasantoniodasilva533]

Amazing voice 'n performance from Katie Thompson, just like a redemption song, soft, solid and beautiful voice

[@usuariadeyoutube_]

Hermoso.

[@Opranius]

[@jeanalves6418]

Amazing!

[@eMIuaN98]

Nice cover!!!

[@DeadMarsh]

Oh my heart 😭

[@Gisele11]

😊lovely

[@gnoticer]

I hear Kari Rueslåtten’s vibratto on her voice, amazing

[@austinfarris7205]

You have an amazing voice. Subscribed. Soen is a group of incredibly talented musicians, and you've done them justice. I play drums, and would love to collaborate on something someday. :) Cheers, and keep singing. It sounds great.

[@lupuslogos2018]

Would love to see some Katatonia in the future! Fantastic renditions of everything I've seen.

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

oooo that would be fun, good call

[@Elaram.]

Oh God, your vibratto is hypnotizing!

[@fadeskywards1245]

Could you cover „Jinn“?

[@shapeshifter7676]

Or Lucidity, or any other Soen song, really.

[@camilagomesmariano2877]

Linda versão

[@oversol6230]

Interesting to hear a girl cover this. Really adds a new dimension to it.

[@Recluse1999]

2:27😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

[@nikolarsulrich]

Llorar que preciosa voz y el niño de la guitarra está muy bien con esos chords

[@leonardodeangelis4403]

Amazing... Both of you are very talented... She probably swallowed a nightingale at a certain point of his life btw

[@ramimakdissi325]

This shit is great

[@FairFuse]

Wow, incredible cover! I don't know if you know the band Rishloo, but it kind of falls in the same category as Soen of bands most Tool fans would love. Their singer can sing incredibly high notes, and since you can as well, I wondered whether you would consider covering them? An example of a more 'aggressive' song would be River of Glass, a more relaxed one Keyhole in the Sky. Curious what you think!

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

ooooh this reminds me of Fair to Midland! Love it. Will have to see if I can find an easy way to translate it onto dummy-guitars for myself, or else find someone to play it with me :D. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@FairFuse]

Should you be interested, I could provide a piano cover for you. Don't have a camera (except for my phone) but I can record on my electric piano. Here's me covering Lateralus by Tool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omXdepJrecmMfNE Not trying to promote myself, but you'll at least have a musician who's prepared to collaborate :P

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

sounds like a deal, bud! Keyhole in the Sky sounds like it would translate better to piano than the heavier stuff. Can do a nice laid back version. Any chance you could drop it maybe... 2 full steps? My email's [e-mail]

[@josesolisbaruzzo3269]

So fucking great

[@zeinasalloum8433]

I felt Amylee vibes here You're voice is so unique ❤️

[@sadnessandhate27]

Muhteşem..

[@dorbbb3886]

I don't comment much if at all But this is so beautiful

[@lottapaulsson4859]

💗🧡💗🧡💗🧡💗🧡💗

[@Stolten]

Holy shit! Thumbs up!

[@Stolten]

I have watched this video several times, and regardless of the what song being covered, this true passion that is shown here is what makes music beautiful. This is what music is all about. Thank you both 👍❤️

[@mrdeathamore]

adorable.

[@adalmeister666]

Some Opeth cover coming? I´d like to hear Will of the Whisp in your voice and acoustic guitar...

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

I love Opeth!! I did a cover with another bandmate, Chiasma, for "to rid the disease" 😁. I would love to do one with Alex here if we ever find the time!

[@Lateralusaint.]

Can i insert my drums ower this with your permission? thank you

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

Sure dude, have at it!

[@Lateralusaint.]

@@KatieThompsonVocals Thank you very much!!

[@Lateralusaint.]

this awakened my kundalini after 2 years of hard depresion thank you.

[@Lateralusaint.]

iT WENT EVEN DEPPER.Bought guitar drums bass kryboard sound card making music after 25 yrs no druming. Have a good day. this is one of the best pieces of music on youtube i think is better than Soen.

[@tizianomaifredi7013]

She's sings like Marcela Bovio of Stream of Passion

[@KatieThompsonVocals]

oh what a high compliment! I LOVE Marcela's voice! Thank you :)

[@The1stMrJohn]

RuspurSaysGrrrr ;~) [one day → maybe, only my humble suggestion,... try flatwound/tapewound strings to stop squeak, but beware they cause more tension on the guitar. Or a minuscule amount of lubricant? I now play an indescribable genre on electric guitars, but was classically trained and for some reason string squeak distracts my brain to an unwarranted degree. Blah, blah, blah, you're both very ☆ talented , best wishes and regards, John(mister) and The Dogs(fostered) in England... ...]

[@DebashishMallick]

I am a big fan of you Katie, I heard your Dreamless version, which gave me chills. You deserve to be on spot light rather than Milye cyrus, Taylor Swift etc..

[@JaddeWolff]

Why? They're really good singers as well even if they do not sing something I like. That's a very dumb comment bro
