Anybody else just find themselves naturally rockin' and boppin' to this cover? 😌

[@TicketyBooDuo]

100 percent yes!! Loved every second 👌🙏

[@ThePurpleKiss101]

This song hits different ever since I learned that its about depression. To all my people that that feel like they “have nothing to live for and nothing is going come their way" it does get better, I promise.❤️ If nobody has told you they love you today, I want you to know that you are loved. I don't know who are or what you are going through but brighter days will come. P.S that was a beautiful rendition Joseph!

Every song he covers is so good in its own right, but he brings a new age swag and his own style to it. im obsessed.

This broke me completely, I've had a real rough life and lost a lot in the last 10 years, this song was my oldest brother's favorite and I was a bit caught off guard when it auto played but I am so grateful it did, thank you so much for this.

[@conundrum4282]

This song has such a closeness to my heart and family. Feels like you’re honoring your brother very well by spreading his love of it. Thanks for sharing.

[@charleyd6020]

You must take being an artist very seriously. I have listened to the original about a million times; and that was the best cover I've ever heard. It was unique, yet still had that same feel as Otis.

[@Nielson_Memories]

Lyrics: Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again Now, I'm just... Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay I've had nothin to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way Now I'm just... Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Oehh I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Wasting time Look like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same Yes, I'm sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Make this dock my home Now, I'm just... Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Wasting time Wasting time Wasting time Writers: STEVE CROPPER , Otis Redding

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

Otis!!! Great cover. Recently found out that my dad who attended the University of Wisconsin was waiting at the club that Otis was supposed to perform at in Madison the night his plane crashed. I’ll have to show him this. I’m sure he’ll love it. 🙏🏻👌🏻

[@whatisjoedoing]

crazy!

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

@@whatisjoedoing Word. He was 19 years old at that time and now he's turning 73 next month. Can't imagine being in line to see one of your favorite artists and that happens. But, I just showed him your cover and he really enjoyed it and commented on your soulfulness. He still plays his Gibson acoustic guitar from 1964, so I knew he would enjoy it cause he's a sucker for anything acoustic. Anyways, keep doing your thing. You on your way to 1 million subs man!

[@juliocezarsilva5979]

I feel very good about this story leading both you and your dad here In a very particular way, it's reached full circle. Thank you for this, Alex

[@AlexTheEaglesFan]

@@juliocezarsilva5979 I’m glad someone enjoyed the story and I feel like music always brings us back full circle IMO. It’s timeless, especially a song like (Sittin’ On) The Dock of The Bay 😁

Been whistling this tune for 32 years now thanks to my pops. Knew you’d go somewhere slightly different. Somehow managed to guess the melody you chose for the whistling, on the first play-through. Pretty cool to just be…right there. 😳🤯🤩 Thank you, so very very much. 🙏🏼❤️

[@ladanweheliye5688]

Standing ovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I cannot fathom the fact that you mimicked the whistle verse at the end. That has always been my favorite part of the song. Great visuals as well!

You betta whistle! This song was exactly what I needed to refresh my mood today

[@andrewchristianortiz4756]

Early in my life I’ve had the privilege of my dad teaching me all kinds of Motown music. Soulful music: Al Green, The Temptations, smokey Robinson, earth wind and fire, but this song in particular is the one that always reminds me of my pops. Reminds me of where I come from and always brings me back home. I’ve been following your channel for the last couple months and keeping your gospel covers on repeat on my commute to work. It is honestly been the greatest gift. I’m an engineer now, so life can get pretty stressful. Your music really helps me stay grounded. This song made my day like no other. Thank you and keep making music. You’re doing Profound, great works for so many of your fans. Just wanted to take the time to say thank you for this one. Be true to yourself, and never sell out. (by the way: if you can do a cover to ”never lost a battle” that would be awesome.) lol -Andrew Christian Ortiz
