Hahahaha

[@pierreguygabrieldaniello6986]

🤣🤌🏼👏🏼

[@SFlRanger82l49]

Well, Periphery, maybe it's time for an unplugged tour with 7 and 8 string acoustic guitars. We would sit on small tables, smoke cigars and drinking whiskey. I would come to an event like this! 🤘🏼

[@shiboomi2249]

That sounds like a time!! I don't do it as often these days, but years of experience has taught me that there's seldom a better way to enjoy good music than in the company of good people and while partaking in the consumption of nicotine and alcohol. And whiskey and cigars sounds like they'd be just the ticket here!

[@SFlRanger82l49]

It's kinda cliche ambient. I understand when people who don't smoke and drink got the feeling that they had to stay outside of this. But they are wrong. The question is if they can live with that for specific time. If you would throw a party without alcohol and nicotine, I can restrain myself. Accept and Respect, that's what it is all about! 🤘🏼

[@ChrisisComics]

Everyone dressed in suits and dresses. Some Classy shit.

[@SFlRanger82l49]

That's actually a good idea. I remember one time back in the day, I forgot to do my laundry. So I went to a metal core concert in a band shirt and a tuxedo pants. At club everyone was like "that's so god damn heavy metal"!

[@DantesGrill]

It would be a good way to get Ibanez to make another 7 string acoustic again too

[@mikedawesofficial]

These two tracks turned out insanely cool. You guys write the best music. Cheers lads 🍻

[@tubaimozumder8824]

I'm a huge fan of you Sir, as well as Periphery ♥♥♥

[@alexanderdavis9636]

I like this acoustic guitar version ❤

[@LaDeCR]

Your deft touch and technique, really made this a timeless gem, Mike - love how velvety smooth your style is on acoustic. Your journey, growth and dedication has been an inspiration, ever since the Liphook days.

[@ryancozzolino7832]

Love the Scarlet video reference at 0:33.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

Fuck mustard

[@sanders858]

If they sold those I'd buy them

[@bazasulli4975]

4 people entertained the taste of the red.

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Mustard is better. Misha agrees with em

[@BigManAis]

Love the also pretty subtle reference to the rivalry between the 2 logos they’ve been back and forth on using. The 3 dots and the P

[@AlexandraUnlocked]

This is my favourite song by Periphery. P4 came out over a year after I lost my best friend, but it still felt so fresh, and hearing It's Only Smiles felt like Spencer was sitting down with me, having a private conversation about loss. It moves me in ways no other piece of art has. Mike Dawes happens to be my favourite guitarist, and this treatment is absolute perfection. Seeing Spencer outside a show and getting to tell him what this song means to me, knowing what it means to him, was immensely therapeutic, and honestly somehow really helped me heal, even though it was a 15-second conversation. I'll always cherish that moment in the alley behind The Palace Theatre.

[@RobbieAudet]

Gf was good mates with him for years in his early 20's. He's a beautiful and compassionate man apparently, and I think this song proves it.

[@moonmoonbhattacharya1377]

Mike Dawes my favorite Periphery member

[@wesshepard]

😂

[@mlsoundlab]

Once again proving that you need at least 4 guitarists in a band. This one has the feels in it. 😍

[@awmaace3397]

Mark's riff are always so transcendental....

[@nicholaifehmenovichrasputin]

This song in particular helped me deal with the death of someone who was very close to me. I can never thank this band enough for the beautiful things they create. Periphery fills me with hope. Remember lads, Don't you dare go hollow.

[@MotoHikes]

My condolences. I lost my best friend in September last year and this song, both the original and this version, have been instrumental in helping me deal with the grief.

[@kellytostada9949]

Im so sorry for the loss of your sister Spencer. This is lovely song in remembrance of her.

[@UrThysis]

P4 single handedly carried us through the pandemic depression, can't change my mind.

[@lostinlucidity]

Hard fucking agree there. That album carried me through the roughest of times.

[@rasluffi]

Pandemic depression LOL

[@LouNoriegaJr]

Carry the weight of a thousand worlds 💙

[@julianluna8688]

1000% 🖤

[@LuwiMartin]

Oh hell yeah work from home while listening to P4

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

Holy shit, my wife might actually let me listen to Periphery in the car with her now. UPDATE: I GOT HER TO TURN OFF NEW TAYLOR SWIFT FOR PERIPHERY HELL YA!

[@Neverender000]

Haha me too!

[@isaacdruin]

She wouldn't let you in the car while she was listening to Periphery, before?

[@overbored617]

could you guys share your acoustic metalcore playlist? I dig erra, VoM, periphery

[@turdnuggz69]

Divorce her

[@Crcmvnt]

That’s fucked up.

[@clintbeastwood5116]

Two questions: 1. What the hell is this? 2. Why isn't there more of it? This is incredible.

[@jaghtzlutein]

the part at 4:00 hits so hard because that stop drop and roll from the original is already in all our heads

[@wombat9671]

it's only tears after hearing this :'(

[@laurenbabic]

I love this so much ❤

[@jussi-pekkalaakko8768]

Thank you guys for your music. Im fighting bad depression atm, i needed this. This reminded that music is my weapon against this battle.

[@existential_]

Did not expect Angel Vivaldi cameo!

[@yuriybu]

hair and makeup. lol :)

[@DanMay-st7zu]

This is a voice that does not deserve auto-tune ... but classic Periphery, just having fun with it.

[@Jesperadoo]

I believe it’s more of a vocoder than full-on autotune

[@TheDGBgamers]

It's not auto-tune, but I get ya. The layers/effects were a little much. I'm sure I'll get used to it though, it's a great version regardless.

[@thelionzmusic]

There is definitely auto-tune/pitch correction, but it's layered with a vocoder to simulate the backing vocals from the original - also provides a fuller sound.

[@primordial.sounds]

This is some kinda robot chorus effect lol

[@SpookyKG]

It calms down over the course of the song but 0:40 is a little unnecessary, as well as dissonant/out of tune. Does a bit of a disservice to Spencer.

[@kevinjohnson5188]

Absolutely gorgeous song. Love Periphery with all of my being. Much love

[@williamgraham6878]

Not much can make me sob like this did. Being in the fire service you learn how to always be stoic and "tough". Thanks for being a light in the dark! Beautiful!

[@maeguk1]

these two tracks are amazing! More of this type please!

[@Travis_Tracey_Guitar]

Periphery's refusal to confine themselves to one genre is a testament to their fearless musical exploration - love this.

[@mastermeow1582]

Reminds me of queen. Nodoubt.

[@dejablueguitar]

Oh GOD YES!! The tears INSTANTLY FLOW thru the LIGHT of a SMILE and thru GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE!! WOWOW!!!!!

[@killerkite333]

This song helped me cope the loss of my beloved grandma last year. One of my favorite track from P4 but gave a deeper and personal meaning during my grief.

[@kristenc777]

Mike single handedly showed us that band only needs on guitarist and it’s him!

[@jasonwhite6029]

This song was absolutely perfect for this ❤

[@denise-cv7nl]

You never get over it Spencer, that's for sure. Absolutely beautiful version 💙😥🥺 xxx

[@OriginalDrGonzo]

What a beautiful song.

[@logansummers8048]

Thank Mike Dawes for your talent on the guitar. This was a great rendition of this song and having Spencer sing was special. Thank you guys.

[@Maxylobes]

Experienced a lot of loss the past few years. Saw this live the first time they performed it, and I was quite moved by it. So happy to know they sat down and recorded it fully for all of us to enjoy whenever we feel. Thank you, Spencer. Thank you, Mike.

[@TuneForger]

We need a whole album of this

[@ΙωάννηςΚαμπάκης]

YES! Someone pin this comment! Make it happen :D

[@OriginalDrGonzo]

I agree.

[@fauek66]

Good performance Mike and Spencer.Thank you.

[@Ash-Out]

Sing it Spencer, sing it...Truly a masterpiece, thank you for making the Acoustic Singles Album official...

[@sweetxpeanut]

Such a captivating and haunting version of this song! I love it so much; I had goosebumps all the way through.

[@OrinVII]

Columbus Ohio, May 14th. Haven't been this excited for a show in a looong time!!!!!

[@Jesperadoo]

Both this and Scarlet are fucking amazing, well done guys!😊

[@douglassantiago5067]

I love this song and I just want more this today!! 🤌

[@dingleberryhandpump802]

Seeing Spencer and Mike perform this and Scarlet live together last year was magical.

[@carliniguitar]

An unexpected yet most wonderful collaboration!

[@carazy123_]

Good job guys!

[@pdpyoshi]

Brought tears to my eyes. I had this song on repeat for a couple years, and now I probably will again!

[@mauchoamusic]

Waiting for the MTV Unplugged: Periphery

[@Ryo7_7]

This is heavenly. Phenomenal. 💫

[@Edg30fd3w0r1d]

Saw Spencer and Mike perform this live for the first time at the Wildfire tour kickoff in Anahiem. Spencer's younger sister was in the audience. Was incredible and gave me the deepest chills. Love you guys ❤

[@behindyou64]

I was there man and recorded the whole performance, it was awesome

[@metosoreru]

Was there for this as well, I literally cried while singing along. So cool they released a studio version because that was a magical moment

[@SirUlrichVon69]

I wouldn't mind a whole album of these versions of your songs!

[@TheNoodleMint]

Periphey, thank you for this song. This song means a lot to mean. This will be one of my all time favorite song.

[@johanzote2263]

Best acoustic player in the world❤️❤️❤️❤️ Mike Dawes ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PhilippeRogers]

This song always breaks me. I lost my best friend to cancer in December and the lyrics and melodies can't NOT hit me straight in the heart. Bless you all especially Spencer and Mike for such a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Cheers!

[@MotoHikes]

Same, I lost my best friend to cancer in September last year. I can sit through listening to this one now, but if I try and sing along I become a mess.

[@PhilippeRogers]

@@MotoHikes I'm sorry for your loss, bud. May we find the peace and strength we need. 🙏🏻

[@simmons3.088]

So glad yall recorded these. The most recent tour with these in the sets were just phenomenal. Easily rhe best shows ive ever been to. Hop you guys do more like them in the future.

[@DanyMataleón]

Wonderful ! I love PERIPHERY !!!

[@SickDrummer2438]

Didn't think it was possible to re-fall in love with a song again but here we are everybody

[@ssiowi]

Thanks Gents; splendid interpretation of a Top 10 by Periphery composition! Love it; please carry on mates!

[@nicknicksiren]

[@audiojunkiemusic]

Wowzers! This is fricken amazing! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

[@guidetoanything]

[@adriansierra751]

Can't wait for May @ Tampa!!!!

[@maxalaintwo3578]

Same!

[@JcRosas86]

We need more periphery songs like this.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

My favorite modern metal band, my favorite acoustic player, enjoyed every second!

[@ronzrolly8723]

I never imagined you guys would do one with Mike Dawes. I love this version

[@francescochiani8849]

great job guys, I defenitely love the original , but the Mike feat, is great too!

[@PEPPERBOX83]

Color tone maintained . Primary tone : Wall, floor mat, candle flame, Spencer's boots and glasses, Mike Guitar, Periphery water sippers Secondary tone -Mike and Spencer attire, Tv No signal, King chair, speakers, floor TV table.

[@bengreen2200]

Seeing palm reader at trees this year was so awesome but i was so sad they were splitting up, so happy ive found this! And also made up to see black peaks guys back in the mix! What a tune!

[@MichaelKhaimraj]

This legitimately made me cry. This song was already so ethereal and haunting in a beautiful way, but this skyrocketed it to a new level. It feels like THIS is how the song was always meant to be heard. I love how it's not an "unplugged" rendition. It still maintains the heart and soul of Periphery but in a different medium. All the layers, production, and polish we've come to expect, but in a sonically unique world. I would absolutely love to hear an acoustic album, and would pay serious money to see an acoustic only concert (akin to Avenged Sevenfold at the Grammy Museum). To round out a potential acoustic album with a choice from every release (including Scarlett and It's Only Smiles), I would choose: P1 - All New Materials Icarus - Captain On P2 - Scarlett Clear - The Summer Jam Juggernaut Alpha - Heavy Heart Juggernaut Omega - Stranger Things P3 - Lune P4 - It's Only Smiles P5 - Wax Wings

[@codyb6849]

You guys always bring it. The talent that you guys have is incredible. Big fan of you guys awesome John Mike on the vocals.

[@CarterHardesty]

Love this so much

[@Mike19Howland]

This should have way more views! Nice job!

[@sramredd9856]

Oh my god this song is good. Beautiful. Where the hell has this song been? Love the heavy stuff, but this song is testament to the diverse song writing. Way to go for it guys.

[@levbuava]

its so amazing when band response to fanbase

[@TMmodify]

Can't believe this is Spencer's unplugged voice, absolutely amazing.

[@nyonpa_999]

😭🤣

[@behindthen0thing525]

Lol

[@WarmDesserts]

D@mn that was sooo much autotune to start with, threw me off.

[@belcarra]

So true

[@PurpleIsALetter]

It's amazing how he can sing 30 harmonies all at once

[@facelesscovers763]

Saw this performed live for the first time in dallas, absolutely enchanted weekend

[@D34ThL1VeS]

This last time I saw you guys i REALLY enjoyed Mike. He was way funnier than I expected and seeing this collab live was absolutely unreal. You guys should feature him on the next album!!!

[@pixmarshmallows]

The feel-good hit for the summer!

[@JesusArmasOficial]

My goodness, Spencer's vocals are always magnificent to say the least but in this track the level of beauty in his interpretation is just out of this world. The feeling that's given to the overall interpretation plus the vocal production is just mesmerising! Congrats on this folks! It's awesome!
