"Open Arms" Cover - JOURNEY

[@victoriak68]

No one has even come close to singing this as well as Steve Perry did when it first came out, until you. Thank you for being you. ❤

[@ivanhorban340]

There are times that words fail to describe a singer. Dan in your case, it is every song.

[@JudithRoby]

The one thing I have noticed when you are singing, you feel the song you are singing. And I feel the music because that is what you want your audience to do. And I am others do to.

[@peggycole135]

Absolutely true!

[@TinaCollins-n9m]

GOOSE BUMPS!!! YOU SING FROM A PLACE MOST PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT.

[@christinacrosby1044]

I'm sure you won't see this comment... I'm used to never being noticed; but, I just wanted to say thank you for how you chose to do this cover. You kept it in that beautiful tenor that few can master. My father, rest his soul, was also a big Journey fan. We used to sit and play his favorite Journey music videos, and when I first heard "Open Arms", he saw how sad I was listening to the lyrics ( I only got to know him as an adult due to stuff I won't mention here). He just looked at me... looked at my domestic violent "other half", and said "Don't worry hunny... someday, someone is going feel that way about you.. and it will be forever"... I'm 38 now... still waiting for that to happen one day... But anyways... enough sap. This video brought me to tears both in it's beauty and respect, but also in it's reminder of my dad (in a good way...I just miss him). SO...

[@taramatheis1451]

❤❤❤

[@RLBCanada]

It’s wonderful to feel the music so deeply and have such love filled memories inspired by a glorious song.

[@roxannepratt5187]

While I "hear" your words and I know you meant them from a sincere place, you need to stop seeing your world through a "victim's" eyes. Words like . . . "I'm used to never being noticed" (cry for attention) / "looked at my domestic violent "other half" (leave - just leave - you have the power) / "still waiting for that to happen one day" (I didn't find true love until I was 48 - so live a full life and love will find you when it's time - work on self-help and improving your life - that's what attracts people to you).

[@TheTruthScribbler]

This is my elder brother favourite song. He died unexpectedly past year. We used to go for long drives listening and singing this song. I miss him to the core 😢

[@christinacrosby1044]

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Steve Perry definitely touched a lot of hearts with his beautiful voice and deep lyrics. I'm glad that you have a good memory to hold onto whenever you hear this song. *sending positive vibes, hugs, and Dan's "epic energy" LOL

[@thfranks4707]

My mom met a man at age 17, but he was 17 years older than she. They married other people, had families. Never forgot each other. They re- met late in life and were married .They had 7 years together before his death . This was their song. Mama would cry everytime she listened to this. I cry for her now. Wonderful voice. Great job on this cover Dan. Thank you 💜

[@berylbazor3756]

I wish people would realize how little age differences really mean. ❤

[@ericmason1504]

How. Just how? I have never heard ANYONE able to replicate that raspy tenor that Steve was so famous for. I’m just in shock.

[@Aurora-t5e]

Never heard a singer who can "release" so much emotions from his whole being, in every word, every sound. Love this great song. No one could cover Steve Perry ... until Dan Vasc . That voice, goodness. RESPECT.

[@cindymccormick4479]

You OWN Steve Perry ❤ God BLESS you, Dan!!!!

[@barbhelland6573]

I discovered Dan with Amazing Grace. I listen to all of his music over and over and never tire of it. I am a devoted fan forever ❤

[@karengreen5599]

Me too!

[@kristiewaterlander5402]

Not many can do Steve Perry justice but you nailed it

[@Stryker176]

Amen to that. This guy is incredible.

[@stacymccurdy1330]

Right I just found this guy amazing

[@deliaturner6086]

Really enjoyed this... So soothing and easy on the ear

[@annetrenary2875]

Yes Dan did nail it, if I didn't know better I would say it was Steve Perry. Thank you so much and I love Journey.

[@migdeliaarvizu2298]

Awesome you nailed it! Steve Perry is a legend and you will be too

[@riaklein5285]

Dan, I'm also a big fan of Journey and Steve Perry. I never have heard someone sing it the way you do, DAMN you are good. You do my heart melting and bring tears to my eyes. Don't ever stop singing with such passion, you are truly an amazing singer and can sing so much different songs with that beautiful voice of you.

[@SueWallace-jk5wr]

He's not only talented but very beautiful. I HOPE HES NOT GAY.

[@cindicress1733]

Dan I'm a big fan of you❤❤ you could make any song sound fantastic❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

Dan is going to be a world wide star.

[@AnnaJones-r7i]

He already is. I see comments from Scandinavia, Europe, South America and even Asia

[@KayHolmes-vq5tt]

He is already, awesome, I just disohim when I heard him sing the USA 🇺🇸 National Anthem! Such amazing voice, never get tired of hearing his perfect voice, not to mention he very handsome ❤

[@sunflowers730]

Beautiful Dan! Sung with such emotion. I just found you about six weeks ago, and now I can't go a day without listening to your beautiful voice. No matter what you're singing, you are truly EPIC! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nia-zq8oe]

As Leonard Cohen would say: blessed with a golden voice!! You've kept this 70yr old heart beating evenly + in LOVE with every cover you perform!!

[@sherryjohnson36]

I agree! 💯% ❤🎉❤🎉

[@dawnvenable8002]

When Steve left the band I cried because I knew there would never be anyone who could sing his songs as well as he did. Then came Arnel Pineda, he gave it his all and yet he just doesn't have Steve Perry passion but, now we finally have someone who sings Steves songs with as much if not more passion than Steve did. Thank you so much for performing Journey songs with your heart and soul. The way that you obviously enjoy singing come through loud and clear. I would love to hear you cover Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'!!!!

[@AnneNeild-fv8er]

❤❤❤

[@donnaheaden9515]

Journey would be proud of you Dan! Well Don! Your an amazing young man!

[@sassy7766]

Only a very number of people can cover this particular song. You are one of them. Thank you for the joy of hearing it covered so amazingly.

[@ScotianRob]

Wow! New and old stuff, whatever the genre. You just mezmerize me. Your voice is outstanding. I am 57 and have never heard such a voice. Please, please keep singing. You keep asking for songs but for me, it doesn't matter. Everything you do is beautiful. You just nail everything.

[@peggycole135]

Have you heard him sing Amazing Grace? It is so awesome!

[@ScotianRob]

@@peggycole135 Yes, I have. He's got the voice. He can sing anything from any genre.

[@debraCosby-y8i]

My sister whom I miss dearly, loved Journey! She would love this! Thanks for her memories!❤😢

[@willcookmakeup]

I could listen to you endlessly till I die. Truly, you have one of best vocal control of any singer I've ever heard. All of your videos are flawless

[@karenryan78]

I'm such a Steve Perry fan that I didn't think it was possible for anyone to do his songs with the passion and beauty with a superb voice . AND yet , here you are . I've only discovered you a few days ago and can't get enough of you. At my age ,I would NEVER think I would like metal music too ( but only done by you). Your presence is mindblowing and so real ! I'm here now and will be a lifetime fan. Thank you for being so awesome and exciting and my daily shot in the arm . Looking gorgeous too ! Sigh. ❤❗

[@karenmcmahan4794]

me too! I've fallen down the Dan Vasc rabbit hole and love it!

[@KathyBrackett-qd2ly]

I think Steve would be proud of how he did this song. I would love to hear him and Steve do a song together ❤

[@armandaandre55]

I just found you a day ago can't get enough of you. Love listening to most of all your songs. You have been blessed, you have a beautiful voice and strong oh my.

[@amberklein1560]

"Thank you for existing." I LOVE IT!

[@jenniferpeterson887]

Oh. My. Gosh!! I am crying! So beautiful! I wish you lived in the U.S. so we could see you in person! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world! May God keep you safe.

[@Lee-mmg]

It's great for us, that you get to sing for a living, so we can listen to your songs - you can sing anything. I hope you still sing and make videos.

[@stephengriffin5960]

I don't really listen to music but I was watching something on youtube and busy on my phone and I heard this awesome voice singing Amazing Grace. I instantly looked up to the tv I yave never in my life and I am 61 heard a song sang so amazingly . I have listened to most of your songs more than once they are all amazing. I have listened to amazing grace at least 50 tomes you have the best voice I have ever heard

[@tylerbohne9650]

Of course you chose two of the best journey songs , two of the best BALLADS EVER WRITTEN ...On the journey. 4 songs now ,,4 times I feel and cry ....

[@Gayle.McConnaughey]

Charismatic! You’ve done Steve Perry proud. Actually excelled over and above his talent.

[@Lynnda86]

You, sir, are absolutely phenomenal!! ❤❤❤

[@jmjlori]

I’m practically in tears! Journey was my first album at age 12. I have loved them ever since 1979. I went back to playing the piano just so I could play their music when I was almost 30. I LOVE Steve Perry. I cannot believe you made me cry like he always did! ❤️❤️❤️

[@teri6667]

My mom passed away suddenly on the 9th. I miss her desperately, but we were there as she quiet slipped away in the ICU. Music is so therapeutic, and your voice especially just makes my heart full knowing she's still there. 😪

[@vanessalore9942]

So sorry for your loss 🙏

[@MaryR7256]

So very sorry for your loss 🙏

[@rositarianaulisianipar6312]

[@Maggie-sx2fr]

I am so sorry for your loss

[@michellesmith-px5jb]

This song always brings me to tears. It was playing on the radio on the way home when my mom passed. (I was 14 years old). You have such an amazing voice Dan. I'll be listening always.

[@yolindahuber4484]

You are 🌟AMAZING🌟! Thank you for sharing your Angel voice with us!! At 73…Journey is one of my favorites as well!!!

[@cindyhebberd7352]

This young man is absolutely amazing!!!!!

[@MrBanningSweatland]

Finally, a real person with passion and a real voice. Dan, God has blessed you with a true voice that you have tuned to sing each type of music with precision! Your channel will grow fast my friend. Keep it true as you are! I’m 41 years old and you have brought back some music from my childhood. However you have managed to do it better than the original artists. Thank you for what you do!

[@samuelraulgarciaochoa6773]

Excellent. With this song I proposed marriage to my girlfriend on a beach in the Caribbean 23 years ago. Unfortunately, she and our son died the following year. You have sung this song in a very beautiful way. Congratulations, you are a great singer, and I hope you succeed in your future. God bless you.

[@romypie3725]

I know every word to every single Journey song ever written. Because yes, I was/am obsessed with Steve Perry’s voice. And you do fabulous renditions of their songs. I’m so glad you keep the songs the same while still making them your own.

[@JanetteParker-np7ho]

So beautiful, love the emotion, makes me miss being held in loving arms. ❤ Dan you touched my heart. Awesome.

[@lauriediorio574]

Our wedding dance song! Love Journey! All of our wedding songs were Journey! You sing their songs perfectly! I love your voice!!! Thank you! ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@iblitlmama]

Where did you go? All your videos are old. Where is the new stuff? You have a talent like no other. It is MORE than a pleasure watching and listening to you not just sing but to watch how easy it is for you to do so. You are one of a kind and very much appreciated. Please keep doing what you do as it is very pleasing to the ear and rewarding to the heart. Thank you for what you have shared with those who know you have a very special gift to give to this totally chaotic and confused world. God bless your gift and soul.

[@enlighteneduk]

Yes, I'm wondering too!

[@Diana.S.430]

This is absolutely beautiful. You did Steve Perry proud. Your covers are all masterful. You have been given an amazing gift. Thank you for sharing that amazing gift with us. ❤

[@nancyjanssen6785]

every time I think : this is my favorite cover ... now I cannot choose anymore ! This one is als sooo amazing ...

[@rjaassociates3243]

I'm not sure if Steve Perry would be proud of you or jealous of you. Awesome job!

[@Stryker176]

Im sure SP would be proud of this rendition. It captures the beauty of the original.

[@RLBCanada]

No need for jealousy but there would definitely, I think, be pride by Steve Perry that his voice inspired such a passionate version!

[@mrgigs08]

Brother never give up singing and never change it on some bullshit business administration or any other profession, you were born to sing! Great job, beautiful 👏

[@debraloomis9816]

Your music touches my soul! Your voice draws me in no matter what you sing. I am a 72 yr. Old grandmother and so glad I found you. What a gift you have!

[@sherryramirez6329]

[@JumpingJack6]

I cannot express just how incredible you are as a vocalist, it is clear you worked long and hard to attain this level of control. Truly amazing.

[@Theodax1]

DUDE!!!! Steve Perry would be PROUD as hell of this cover! Your voice and vibrato are an excellent compliment to this iconic tune. It's not an easy song to sing, and you make it LOOK and SOUND easy! Great stuff as usual!

[@KerryCahill-n2u]

Amazing! I just discovered his channel and I’m blown away. I’ve never heard such a beautiful male voice. What a powerful voice with an inspiring presence.

I just found you today. My daughter let me use her headphones. I never used them before. Your voice was amazing and I couldn't stop the tears. God bless you

[@LindaGyftopoulos]

Only Dan Vasc could carry off this gem of a love song after Steve Perry and not fear the comparison. A truly exceptional birthday present for Steve. To be honest, I would fall in love with a man who sang this to me like Dan Vasc. One of the most beautiful love songs in music history. A dcDan Vasc is a treasure to the music world. Lastly can you imagine how mind-blowing it would be to hear Steve and Dan singing this together? That would be epic! Wishing Dan and everyone listening here an epic day.

[@kayjohnson8377]

Your Journey/Steve Perry covers are fantastic. You are such a terrific singer.
