[@MrCraft-yh5jr]

ikr

[@ryanerwin1952]

That has always been my favorite 1 second piece of music since I heard the original lol

[@jordanalves41]

Over a year later its still pure bliss 😭😭😭😭😍😍😍😍😍

[@Thorcal92]

I launched this version and the original w/ lyrics.. The combination is beautiful..

[@kuunoir7579]

Thanks, just tried it

[@RhapDesign]

my god both synced are just amazing o.o

[@dumbbitch420]

Rhapsody3991 omg gave me the chills

[@fmcnally]

Genius

[@artfan101]

how did you do it?

[@mikesemesky]

Thank you so much for sharing that. It means so much :) And yes, my buddy Greg Macklin did such an amazing job mixing the audio!

[@Noruego]

The original song uses a Vocoder which is an easier way of doing what you did. Now, let me tell you this is by far the best cover of this song I've ever heard, you did a great job!

[@b1na276]

he didn't use a vocoder? that's a wow

[@ChrisLaupama]

He did use a vocoder... it’s very obvious to hear that he did.

[@MakramTheThird]

@@ChrisLaupama Please read the description. He went a different route cause he didn't know what she used.

[@dbnois3]

Abd El Rahman Makram the description actually says that he did use a vocoder

[@MakramTheThird]

@@dbnois3 Please read the description again and check on youtube to see what a vocoder is. He layered different audio tracks with robot effect on each one, the vocoder does all of that live at the moment.

[@EdenBlade17]

I couldn't help but sing along and for some reason I started crying. I don't know what it is, but damn, what a cover.

[@fucmylife7353]

same , I like listening to this when I'm just alone and something bad happens.

[@paulwall3269]

It's a pretty emotionally intense song. Made my eyes wet too.

[@Campusanis]

Imogen Heap created that "robot-like" effect using a vocoder, but seeing how very close your sound is to the original, it's incredible that you were able to achieve this using "just" Melodyne (without a vocoder). Big thumbs up. :)

[@irockmajorly]

And on top of that, what he did was probably a lot more painstaking, doing each track individually.

[@liquididentity101]

So many mediocre and subpar covers of this song... but dude, you nailed it! Love your voice, love your rendition, love the fact that you didnt screw the pooch during the 'whatcha say' part. So many people drop the ball there. You didn't hit the high "tears" but damn man that sounded great anyways... loved it. And the power right after... man, you 'get it' with this song.

[@ecbfilms001]

Danwrite92 hit it in his video! Also a very good cover

[@mr.mayhem2856]

fooloof wanna bet? :o

[@FiredEmpire]

Such a dedicated work with a lot of passion and respect for the original artist. Every detail is well interpreted and beautifully and gently put together.

[@benmc1683]

This is the most beautiful version of Imogen's song that I have ever heard.

[@vonjager]

Mike, you are the first one I've heard that actually hits the "breathy" parts correctly. Your voice is perfect for this, and you did a fantastic job. Make the hair on my arms stand up, I loved it man!

[@TenThirtyProductions]

Love how you stayed so close to the original while still added a touch of your own! Beautiful!

[@davidrafail8293]

Hey, Mike! It's been years and I've never said hello. I cry beautiful years when I hear you sing this song. Much love, man. - A fan from Cleveland

[@owenoldfield1821]

I love this song and this is the ONLY cover that does it justice. Props man!

[@SamanthaKanexo]

Replayed this so many times. So obsessed, better than the original and better than any cover I've heard. New favourite song. Ever.

[@mikesemesky]

Right on right on! It always thrills me when I meet a metal head who's just as much into other genres as he or she is the more aggressive stuff. I'll definitely be posting some metal vocal stuff as well in the future. Most likely playthrough videos of my bands Rest Among Ruins and Ordinance. Anyway thanks so much for watching and thanks for the sub :D

[@olliephont3463]

I'm so glad you found your way into Intervals...brings a tear to me eye. Your cleans are right up there with Daniel Tompkins.

[@cazza710]

I watched this the whole way through just so i could hear the ex vocalist of intervals sing "hmm whacha say" and it was worth

[@GNIKPlays]

You sir deserve my subscription. Best Cover, I hope more people begin to appreciate your work.

[@FrankMalaba]

Mike, You Beautiful Creature... Well Done. It is a pleasure to listen to.

[@Jack-lg6xz]

Mate the fact I could sync this song with original is stunning. You've done a fantastic job champion.

[@SebStorm]

really good, even if its a vocoder, it shines through that your pitch is spot on. Gave me goosebumbs. What ever happened to the florence and the machine-cover?

[@AmrishKelkar]

Ridiculously amazing. This needs to have more views. Bravo. It's amazing how harmonics strangely generate camaraderie and poignancy in humans, evidenced by all the comments.

[@DarraKummitus666]

So is there anything this dude can't sing? Lorde? Imogen Heap? Dude can even do AMAZING death metal growls!

[@jackcutts6634]

There's only one part that most people come here for and you my friend, have made yourself number 1 so far! Gorgeous rendition on that specific part.

[@sadboisoup]

I've been watching this video at least once a month at this point and it's never old this is way to good man like this is insane

[@dacioferreira8833]

Loved this cover! Love this song from Imogen Heap!

[@51areaspodcast]

You are most welcome to Ever Forthright sir.........I cant wait to hear it .

[@KTSpeedruns]

I want this cover in my music library. I prefer this to the original.

[@keilanihong6237]

So it's two in the morning and I'm supposed to be up at six. But I just heard this for the first time and I'm not gonna ignore how beautiful it is. Your voice is so soothing and something about it makes me feel like I'm being comforted. There are parts where I just wish I wasn't alone so I could be listening to this with someone else and have them be excited with me This song makes me feel the way that these hours do. Where it's between being the night and the morning. Depending on if you look at the clock or at the sky. But also reliant on how awake you feel. This song makes me just... Idk... It makes me feel something. To just feel anything is a beauty. But to feel something so pleasant that you can't name it... That's beautiful

[@PreitiBhamra]

Beautiful! You've done the cover so freakin well! ♡

[@billthesaint3]

seriously, man, I had chills the whole way through this. Bravo.

[@safertychannel8135]

oh dear god this is perfect. this is ansolute.

[@c0dy0dy333]

Not only is this an AMAZING cover, but it you play this WITH the original it is pretty much EARGASMIC.

[@fannybts1852]

2:53 my favorite moment

[@Nsta28]

Dude this gave me serious chills all over my body, holy crap.

[@DiegoRodriguez-yp1ws]

Marissa shooting Trey. Ahhhh, yes... I do remember The O.C. Great cover, sir. Amazing voice.

[@jessqhs]

I love the oc!!!

[@chyookya3839]

Usually I just hate on people who do covers, but I can honestly say this is perfect ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HcoreSouljah]

WTF indeed. Sync the original with this one and it's even better O_o

[@JimirDavisVEVO]

Omgggggggg.

[@chickennuggetstyles]

Omg

[@SaundizzleProject]

Kevin D Experience the glory: soundcloud.com/micsaunders/hide-and-seek-imogen-heap-mike-semensky

[@AdmCornFlake]

Kevin D Such a good recommendation. They sound beautiful together.

[@mikaelorsteinsson1097]

THIS IS F-ING UNBELIEVABLE

[@xibxang]

I’ve been re-listening to this for a while now. Amazing.

[@Lostenso]

perfect. love your shirt too, dude.

[@FenderStrat19711]

I saw this come up on KZbin and I thought to myself, "yeah, right, what guy can cover this song?". Boy was I surprised. You blew this song away and it sounded incredible. Nice job!

[@KathyAnnalise]

I absolutely love this!!! :D :D this is amazing!!!

[@alfredoribeiros]

Amazing. Thank you very much for your art. :) Cheers from Brazil.

[@afrowoff]

God I love this cover, is too beautiful, how did you get that efect with the voice? Is autotune or something like that?

[@ArmedAndReady14]

too bad you can't read

[@lumagotchi]

The software is called melodyne

[@ramon_Huft]

Melodye is sort of autotune, its a programm to check and correct the pitch to absolute perfection and create some effects

[@maisieketchum472]

You deserve way more subscribers and recognition then you have dude! I love this.

[@TheHellmo]

I have heard the voice of a god

[@xesior]

Hikaru Kimaru He's not Morgan Freeman...

[@TheHellmo]

Um Morgan Freeman isn't a god, he's so much more than a god.

[@xesior]

Hikaru Kimaru Maybe that was his plan all along. God works in mysterious ways :p

[@eldiegots]

and its teling me to see 02:53

[@memori694]

+Hikaru Kimaru No, sorry that was just the auto tune. but I t still sounded good. You should hear Imogen Heap sing that :D

[@punky2deep]

How did I just find this in my entire quarter century of a lifetime???????? this is just out of this world

[@derrickhappytree]

[@naah]

This is it. This is the perfect cover.

[@ALEXISTMMX]

Resident evol ?

[@pablitokusanagi7084]

[@SunnAgos]

@Andre Pizarro Turpo xdxd

[@iamcalmorrison]

This is one of the few covers/remixes I've heard that actually doesn't butcher or take away from the song. I thought it was fantastic, as it kept the originality and essence of the song, with subtle differences. Enjoyed this perhaps as much as listening to the original. Great job, you done it justice.

[@enimaru7885]

peldoplian brought me here

[@electrodavid25]

Not hating on the original version, but this one is better. Nice work man!

[@lewisb8634]

This is the best cover of this song. No question. Fantastic job!

[@fozzibab]

I just spent the last couple hours listening to what must have been 30 different versions of this song, and this is by far the best cover I've heard. GREAT JOB!

[@tommeikle33]

I really can't get enough of this. Absolutely flawless.

[@sylynrknyght]

I'm gald.people.are finally appreciating this deep.song. been listen to.imogen version for probably 10+ years.

[@SouthernGab06]

[@John-pd8tb]

Have to comment again! This is for sure the best cover! It just got better and better as the video went on!

[@iowabuckinrut760]

Life is hard. Music like this really helps. Thank you

[@Nialzzz]

Flawless man. In one of my favourite bands on earth and a fan of my favourite solo artists ever.

[@MissKukyMonster]

Beautiful, probably one of the best covers of this songs; it captures the majority of the harmonies and tonalities of the original to preserve the haunting loveliness that Imogen Heap meant this song to be. Well done sir.

[@lorenzomcmillan9617]

It’s ghostly almost angelic. I love it Brody!

[@Cheezilla]

This song never fails to give me feels and his cover was no exception. Great work, sir.

[@jessicawhitcomb7897]

Wow. This is incredible. You did my favourite song justice, that's for sure.

[@thewalrusispurring]

Absolutely amazing :) can't stop replaying this.

This is the best cover of this song.

[@TabishBish]

Wow. This is absolutely beautiful! Shivers!

[@jessaROXmySOX]

oh my goodness!!!

[@kevinyasmine]

The reverb and echo on the official version is beautiful, but I never expected it to be so good without them as well. Did I forget to mention that your voice is phenomenal? Insane control man... every single note and tone that you sing with are intentional and fitting. Props! Subscribed.
