Somewhere, Bill Withers is smiling.

ain't no sunshine when I'm gone

[@lawlito]

Great comment

[@Webfreq]

I heard that, too. Tasty

[@CourtTV.]

I heard it I was confused

[@MJS-PS144]

​@@vornamenachname807heard some "use me" vibes as well.

[@joshwagner4368]

I know it's about the funk, but seriously... That intro was fabulous. I would have been happy to just listen to her voice with the bass line behind it for the whole song.

[@connorwilson4799]

you aren't wrong my man. funk is all about dynamics and that intro sets us up for the absolutely nasty groove that follows it. and once Sophia gets her first belting line at 1:15... chills bro

[@marksopinionservice]

@@connorwilson4799 Ayoub -- masterful

[@ericchristensen2509]

Definitely my record for earliest click of the "like" button. I think it was around the 15 second mark. :)

[@timbly5824]

Love it.

[@mrb145]

This is the best song this band has done in months.

[@fadermaster5221]

I was just about to write the same thing 😊

[@suediyg5595]

This is Smokin'Hot, in both arrangement & vocals...please have the original music for the karaoke version!

[@joshkrato]

Seriously is Sophia's voice made of silk? And could Ryan's licks be any more perfect? This band is all vibe; I'll be rewatching this one a few more times.

[@wbpound]

The actual definition of funk. So loose yet so precise. The perfect contrast to the original. Bravo.

[@WhitneyAvalon]

Love love love the groove on this! And of course Sophia’s voice ✨

[@nap_time_]

dont forget bob ross on bass lmao

[@mbp2059]

That was so tight it made me laugh out loud. Compliments to all the band members equally.

[@christowles559]

Just love Sophia! This is an amazing vid with her and dad just killing that groove on the drums. Amazing!

[@noiJadisCailleach]

Who even thought that a GREAT song could get EVEN BETTER? mind blown.

[@johnapppel64]

Sophia's voice is perfect for this arrangement! And Ryan looks like he's about to slide out of his chair.

[@bobmorphis7114]

DANG! Sophia uses her "instrument" like an INSTRUMENT! The ensemble effect goes way beyond an "accompanied vocal"! And the expertise of musicians is palpable!

[@reynoldbyers5738]

My favorite type of Scary Pockets song - completely change the feel and tempo of a song. Turn it into a slow burn. Love it!

[@audibletapehiss3764]

Whaaaaaaaaa?????? It's the ones you don't think are gonna be something that end up being EVERYTHING. This is one of the best things I've ever heard.

[@dmsanct]

the clash doesnt get enough recognition for how good their tunes are

[@joandtomx1483]

I never realized what a killer song this was until I heard this version. Missed all the great subtleties in the lyrics in the original Clash delivery.

[@jasperdevries1726]

@@joandtomx1483 I am glad they skipped the less than subtle shouted Ecuadorian Spanish backing vocals though :D

[@displaychicken]

That groove is insane. Love Ayoubs bassline

[@n1vca]

Best version of this song ever played! Brilliant work, so very soulful and funky, love it!

[@fernandoherranz4095]

Tight funk version vs loose punk version.... they're both so fabulous and hats off to Scary Pockets for honoring the original but also making this version stand on its own.

[@nat_yaeger]

Wackerman is possibly the best name you could ask for in a drummer - great performance from everyone 🙌

[@veronicaleontin9701]

My 4 y. old daughter: "Mummy, first i would like to watch and listen to Scary Pockets and then Peppa Pig, please." Talking about priorities. :-))

[@davidangus6629]

Agreed

[@smetlogik]

Yep, didn't even need coffee this am with this funky cold medina rendition. 💯 And one more thing, props to the camera person, well done.

[@JGlassy]

Ah, this is like a masterclass in time-sense and funk vibe!! Love Sophia’s voice texture, phrasing and everything about the band behind it!

[@gregwisniewski9604]

This has such a Bill Withers 'Use Me' vibe it's wild. Take my upvote!

[@ulxtmx5018]

Cannot get enough of Sophia's voice!

[@ALewis942]

Loving all these tunes with Sophia! Another cracking one!

[@junco477]

Perfect balance of vocals and instruments. Both crisp and clean, neither over playing the other.

[@crashmstr]

Amazing take on a great song.

[@freereveller3099]

THIS is on another LEVEL.... Good Grace this was pure perfection.

[@ВладимирРуденко-с6к]

Браво всем за потрясающе исполнения! Лучшая версия этой песни! Наслаждаюсь этим видео почти год. И сразу поднимается настроение .👏👏👏👍🤘 Спасибо всем, кто это сделал 🤘🤝

[@jerseyj2]

One of my favorite cover bands but sometimes you take it to an even higher level and this my friends, is one of those times. Damn!

[@sapper1826]

Excellent bass line, groove and pocket by Joe. Well done!

[@stoatystoat174]

as soon as it started i knew this song, lyrics, vocal line, chord progression, (plus band of pros) would work like that real good

[@stubish]

headphones on. the recording and mastering on this is EPIC... seriously so good.

[@paulsutphin7813]

Love this killer cover with Sophia owning a deep and richly phrased vocal - works so well soulfully , and subtly, funkified.

[@markbrandon7756]

Sophia James , what a voice ! What a talent ! So Easy on the Eyes ! ♥️ TOP SHELF !

[@MansfieldRecitals]

You should STAY!! Beautiful, Sophia and band!

[@TGMinnieeMee]

Bob Ross is killing it on the bass!

[@skeenj]

I am gonna make sure Joe gets to see this comment. He'll get a great chuckle out of it! Thanks for the smile

[@ClaudioPelleoss]

I love it... keeping on listening to it!

[@tomlbass]

I really enjoyed the energy and know how Sophia James puts across in her vocal inflection of telling here story. And as usual Joe Ayoub in the groove on that bass with a great drummer. Ryan Lerman's interesting approach on guitar across all of the Scary Pockets has been very cool to listen as he intertwines his guitar parts into the songs . Its fun to play my bass along with scary pockets. A lot of new arrangements with with great hooks in the songs. I really like the Intro to Attention by (Sophia James) which is played throughout the song. Leland Sklar has done a lot. Loved his bass work on Attention. Gave me a smiling face. Thanks

[@johntenhave1]

What a powerful performance by Sophia!

[@escueladeartesemocionales]

that run at 1.52 was awesome. Loved the cover! great job everyonE!

[@ParaBellum2024]

Often, these cleverly reimagined songs only work because we compare them with the original versions, but they aren't really as good. This, on the other hand, is outstanding, and needs no reference to previous versions!

[@tedscott7344]

Excellent as always - amazing vocal by Sophia!

[@YourOwnWay]

THE BEST way to start my week. Thank you, Scary Pockets!

[@TalhaMakakk]

This got me dancing in a way i never imagined i would be capable of.

[@pfree9016]

Vocal performance of the year

[@nancystewart8853]

You guys have a knack for finding great singers….!

[@pokinacha]

Swatkins without a talkbox? Refreshing

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

Now, THAT"s funky!!! Magnificent voice, Sophia! Thank You!❤ Oh, and btw....Please STAY!!!

[@nathanwarnesmusic]

A B3 and a horn section would've slapped so hard on this. Other than that, utterly insane.

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

This one just came out ... SO RIGHT.

[@sveinroarnysether]

What a drummer!!!Wackermans snare is amazing!!!!😉😉

[@kjellljung5072]

You done a super good version of this tune! Really like the sound! 🎶

[@tommyrq180]

Not sure how you get that many people so deeply into the same funk pocket. I guess it’s called professional musicianship. Impressive! 😮😅😊

[@akashgill419]

Adrian Pimento absolutely killing it on the bass!

[@jasmin1773]

They show that music has so many variations... I love it.

[@souleyes7467]

I'm vibinnnng to this!!! I love music with my whole heart!!! You guys bring me life! I dream of singing and performing with Scary Pockets!!

[@pizzarand]

Very tasty playing from all of you, and especially Ryan!

[@joaoguilherme.musico]

The drums sounds amazings. Congrats to the drummer and mix engineer

[@jasonbest3773]

Oh my!!

[@TimotheeLee]

I love it when a popular song gets a new treatment. When the Clash released it, they got a lot of blow back because it was such a pop song. Your version is a different animal all together. I like it better, you guys rock.

[@derkleinemannvonnebenan3147]

Sophias father Chad Wackerman on drums. Amazing!

[@ScottFentonfullbe6]

Thanks for pointing this out!

[@teasnax]

YES...! I loved the other SP joint they did too. They should record an entire album together!! They could name it Funk in Our Blood or something like that😁.

[@ScottFentonfullbe6]

@@teasnaxOh, I'll have to look that one up! I'd buy that album. Perfect name, too. They should hire you for PR!

[@johnmorris239]

Didn’t know that!

[@chipsterb4946]

I’m rhythmically retarded but his drumming is so tight and catchy it’s infectious.

[@karlfruecht7258]

These artists toured in 2024. The top studio musicians in the country. They had no idea how to act on the stage. They literally just ran around. And because of that it was the best show I've seen in years. See them!

[@francocasentieri932]

You'll never fail to bring out the best of musicians.

[@Pottery4Life]

Probably one of the better covers of this song.

[@timb350]

Whole thing just ROCKS (...or perhaps more appropriately...FUNKS)! Guitar, keys, bass, drums...slithering and popping in and out of each other's groove. Gotta say I'm kind of partial to the drums...and those are some awesome sounding drums. Especially that snare.

[@joostderidder]

Excellent cover! And again, great "mixin' job". Especially the voice is great. Not dominant at all but nice to understand (even if we know the original lyrics) Good luck and "full houses" when touring in Europe!

[@SuperAnatolli]

This is not a cover. Only the lyrics is the same. The music is all new. great stuff.

[@joeybidster]

Nice to see Chad Whackerman still totally killing the groove as always.. all hail x.. Great work on this one guys x

[@jonsheik3060]

Oh this is truly awesome! What a cool arrangement!

[@tomtombilo1]

Very bluesy feel. What a vibe!

[@scottschuster3848]

Possibly not what was being sought, but this guitar tone and approach reminds me of Schofield meets Muscle Shoals' Jimmy Johnson. Both are imaginary vision board in my head of what one should sound like.

[@johnsenior478]

A tribute to the Clash and Bill Withers….I was waiting for a bit of wah wah to spice up the yacht rock vibe. Love the drummer.

[@davidbelen7199]

Dam... this needs a solo. I was waiting, I imagine it starting of like waaaaaam" then going "di nor nee nor nee nor" and then do be do be do. Ryan looked tired though I guess he just wanted to chill on this one. This sounded so good. Good job guys. Real cool.

[@rogerwilliams7234]

YES! More please . . .

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

Real funky! Very fine!

[@michaellawrie903]

OMG. So good.

[@markbrandon7756]

The CLASH would So So Approve of this Beautiful rendition, and might be like the song that the writer Declared - That Song is Johnny Cash ‘s now. Absolutely NEEDS auto be ON THE RADIO wall to wall !!!

[@oldejimmy]

Awsome!!!!! Thank you!

[@abigailjanes6415]

Outstanding! Love, love, love this.

[@schmodedo]

Every time I see Swatkins I'm waiting for a rippin' keyboard solo. Even if I don't get one, it's always great to see his energy.

[@tomtombilo1]

Yeah, this song was crying out for a solo following one of those breaths.

[@danny.chulo.]

That drumming is ridiculously in the pocket

[@terpity]

Hell yeah, SP upload!

[@chrissargentguitar8265]

Well, that was EPIC! Nice reharmonization of that chord progression, too!
