[@MikeTompkins]

Always great working with Peter!

[@PatriciaKnight101010]

You guys did an awesome job. Love it!!!

[@PeterHollens]

Always an absolute pleasure working with you Mike Tompkins - Seriously we gotta do this more often ;)

[@HolgerJakobs]

I have been following the two of you for a while. Great to listen to the results of your cooperation.

[@jeffe6887]

Individually they are musical geniuses. Together they are just Amazingly Awesome!!!

[@jonathanfunk2679]

I am not one to like 1D but after I heard "The Story of My life"........ well that changed everything. Yeah. I think that is there best song yet.

[@EvynneHollens]

It turned out so well!! :) :) !!!!

[@PeterHollens]

:)

[@jennysbilder]

It didnt turn out well... It turned out really great ;) So happy for you with everything going so well ;) Nice to see a couple been together for so long and still be so loving and caring for each other !!!! Happy Valentines day !!!!

[@lauren4704]

it turned out amazing!!!! ive had it on replay!!

[@BenjaminEberhard]

Only problem with that video... You didn't sing at all, Evynne!

[@AndroidCyclist]

How many years have you two been married now?

[@elizabethgoree3891]

These two have an enthusiasm for life and it carries it in the music. That's why it's better than the original.

[@JulienNeel]

I wasn't expecting to enjoy a 1D tune, but wow you knocked this one out of the park! The production is really crisp and polished, as always. Wish you were keen on singing with smaller KZbinrs too. Hint hint.

[@nhatalebieber-davies4005]

Their eyes are beautiful O_O Oml.. And that dog at 2:26 xD Aww c':

[@Zalec_k]

holly hell, why songs you sing always sound better than the original?? :DD what is this magic you have in your voice??

[@raigeturner6549]

His magic is puberty

[@valerielynch8854]

+Turniprage Turner XD

[@raigeturner6549]

Valerie Lynch ikr its real!!​

[@Jetpower485]

+Brigita Z (Byassu) He could take the least inspired song out there and make sound at the least good, if not great.

[@limshiqi7788]

The voice of God

[@Winkiedoodles]

Great song, Peter. Your son or daughter should be incredibly talented with wonderful musical parents. All the best to you and Evynne. Don

[@reinam1766]

i believe its a son!! cant wait!! :)

[@Winkiedoodles]

RayRay Marie Yes, thanks. I saw this video first and then there was another one further down in my feed that said it was a boy.

[@diamond_dude1011]

@@reinam1766 he's actually got two sons! his eldest, Ashland, is 4 and i don't know about their younger one

[@alyshamyers2003]

That was so cute!! You guys both have amazing voices; much better than 1D! Also happy for you that your having a baby!! Amazing!!!

[@MoriahNaomi]

i love how u guys pulled family into this

[@PeterHollens]

Thanks Mo! :)

[@MoriahNaomi]

***** No, thank you for such awesome videos =D

[@menatoorus5696]

Peter voice is liguid gold

[@emmastratton1302]

I've been waiting for the Hollens a cappella Frozen medley.

[@tbone1143]

Absolutely amazing song. Your love for each other comes through loud and strong Peter and Evynne. God Bless You..... Doug and Carolyn.......=)

[@joeysopamenaofficial9828]

Who is Doug and Carolyn?

[@tbone1143]

Hey, Joey how ya doing? I'm Doug and my wife is Carolyn, and I was signing the comment from both of us.

[@cameronjamestibera9017]

Oh, that is so sweet! I almost cried. I love the gentle clips between Peter and Evynn and Ashland. :-) You actually made me enjoy a One Direction song, congratulations. Love you guys!

[@WaywardPash]

I just couldn't stop smiling as I watched this heartwarming video - and just in time for Valentine's Day, too! I have to admit, I avoided this cover once I realized the song was a One Direction original, but I should've realized that anything Peter and Mike accomplished together was bound to be amazing and beautifully done. Definitely one of my favourite KZbin collabs to date!

[@JessicaD179]

And, in all honesty, the original isn't even bad..

[@WaywardPash]

Jessica Drumsta Haha, I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that I'm not a fan of One Direction in general, and wasn't expecting the song to be so catchy. But Peter and Mike really took their cover to a new level (they don't sound overproduced and you can still hear their true tone / timbre, even with an a capella arrangement) :)

[@JessicaD179]

WaywardPash OH! I'm the same way XD and I completely understand where you're coming from.

[@WDWAngel]

The best version of that song, I've ever heard and a wonderful and beautiful video too. Thank you so much Peter, Mike and your lovely ladies!

[@ChristopherBrown-qp3xi]

This song is perfect! Every moment was beautiful and please, both of you, continue making all this beautiful music!

[@mythryl]

Love your music. You and your guests are so talented and you can tell they get joy out of singing. Sing on.

[@otohalovegood1788]

Omg this is amazing, you are such a brilliant singer. Love your songs.

[@laffables4all]

Thank you for sharing your family with us in that video, you guys are just adorable together and you will be amazing parents to that new little baby. Keep it up Hollens family. 👍

[@otter714]

I love when you two do collaborations. My two favorite people on youtube, and the work together is AMAZING. Awesome job!

[@notenoughtreble]

No way! Both of my absolute favorite A Capella artists in one video?! Your families are picture perfect. I love all 4 (soon to be 5) of you, amazing job with this song. :)

[@TheForeignGamer]

Peter turns every song he touches to gold. :)

[@MyDigitalParadise]

What a natural collaboration between two great artists. Can't wait for more such collaborations from both of you.

[@kalespoir]

Aww! Peter & Evynne! So excited for them!! A little baby Hollens

[@ru99414]

I love this song, I get so happy when i listen to this cover. You and Mike sound so great together; two awesome singers! :)

[@LadyFan05]

Dear Peter, I discovered you on the Skyrim video you did with Lindsey Stirling and let me just say...I'm blown away. You're incredible. I was thoroughly impressed with your Skyrim song as well as this one (I love this song). I think I just became a foster child to the Hollens family! ^_^

[@EvolvedPublishing]

Just when we think the songs of yours we've listened to just can't be beat, we find another one that is simply fantastic! Our favorites list is filling up with Peter Hollens songs.

[@RobinPierceWildMoonSister]

Also that vocal sound that Mike does at 1:03 and at least one other spot, that is so cool. Its a small detail yet it adds so much to the entire song. Peter and Mike sound really good together on both their collabs so far, hope there will be more sometime. Hearts, stars, flowers today, you guys. CELEBRATE LOVE.

[@ClariJoy]

Your collabs are perf!!! So awesome to see you two collaborate again! :)

[@whatcanidooo]

I feel like this version has far more heart/meaning to it than the original. I love it when a cover makes my like a song!

[@MrDhanNuguid]

I just love the kick and beat of mike tompkins, i know him 3 yrs ago here on youtube, i really appreciate your voice too, your vocal is great.

[@anilissrodriguez3846]

I love this! More than the original! The love of you and your wife makes it such an amazing video. It comes through the lenses of the camera!

[@TheHagar596]

they r so freaking Talented !

[@SarahSzeto]

I'd I don't like One Direction, but I'd listen to this all day!

[@ManeFunction]

Awesome voice frequency balance in this duet! You two perfectly fill up each other!

[@CarroLeenah]

Great job, guys! Your voices are so harmonic! And Peter, you have amazing eyes- like pieces of the sunny sky!!!

[@biancamoreira9175]

well , I am Brazilian and I am using a translator , then you can have some pretty wrong in my text , but your videos are spectacular and pass a feeling of happiness , so even having something wrong with my writing , just wanted to say that your work is simply amazing and is to be congratulated , you have a beautiful voice (not that I need to say it, for sure you already know, it has a great talent ) and once again congratulations

[@madelinekestner3081]

You should do a cover of "Night Changes" by One Direction...and definitely some songs from "Into The Woods"!!!

[@kirstinjw.wilkinson4143]

This was an awesome song. I was dancing in my seat the whole time, and I'm still moving to that last echo of the rhythm. You have a gift.

[@GrizzlyAdams59]

Love the baby bump! That child of yours is going to have so many Auntys and Uncles.... Belated Happy Birthday Hollens too! I love your music, and cherish the ability to listen.

[@laraibsyed2210]

THE PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE PETER HOLLENS VIDEOS ARE WRONG!! HE'S AMAZING!!!

[@PeterHollens]

Awwwww thank you. But I love my haters proving them wrong is the most fun!!

[@laraibsyed2210]

+Peter Hollens Well you a managed to win most of our hearts with your voice 😊

[@mariamfarhan4095]

[@josephwear9572]

+laraib syed And the people who sing along with you

[@laraibsyed2210]

Joseph Wear right

[@damonsalvatore4924]

This is hands down the best version of this song.

[@spyhunter39]

Best combination of two of my favorite artists. Couldn't be better!

[@LostAngel907]

Absolutely love this one! The 2 of you did such an amazing job, you both looked like you were having so much fun singing this one and the love you both have for your wives is more than apparent in the way you both smile at them. I think that made me some more than anything else. You are truly blessed

[@oGutoHorn]

really wonderfull!!!

[@amyhorselover4356]

Mike and Kayla are so cute together, it brings tears to my eyes :')

[@chrispuchot2613]

You guys are phenomenal artist I'm so glad God blessed you with the talent to bring the joy of music to us keep up the great work can't wait to see what you do next

[@00vargarv]

again you make me cry Peter.. why you do this TuT ... i really wanna hug you thanks for all the songs.. love you both !!

[@TerriNakamura]

Wishing you a belated happy birthday, ***** !

[@lawlzkeezrlc]

"don't want to hurt her but i know i will" is my favorite line of the song... and as far as i know it's not in the original...

[@fellibjorhult8576]

Yeah, what was that with the made up line in the middle of the song?!

[@carolvevle8190]

OMG Peter!!! You are something else aren't you!! I Saw you with in the last year & you are so good, you stole my heart. So glad I got to hear your beautiful voice!!!

[@taylorvanbuskirk8040]

I'm an old guy who doesn't know half of what is going on in the music world. Generally, I find it boring and uninspired...that is until acapella started to redefine modern music. I'm in love with music again. I love this song! You and Mike Tompkins made it alive and full of joyful emotion. I can't get enough of your talent Peter Hollens.

[@IamNinetyFour]

Times have taken a hard turn on me and oh MAN, ***** and Mike Tompkins always know how to keep my chin up! I love these collabs and hope you both keep being awesome! Everything WILL get better!

[@LocalAdventurerTravel]

beautiful!

[@fruitymango11]

i know right!! by the way love you guys too :D

[@blacknite555]

I'm so glad you two finally did a piece together. Your both the best in the biz in my opinion. Congrats on the baby too Hollens'

[@atmazachattopadhyay4831]

Love this version...my fav version of this song.....good to see such a happy family

[@mariekedeboer9483]

Why arent you a superstar? youre amazing! youre voice is so strong!!

[@leemander]

Ikr!

+Marieke de boer He is a super-star to the 1.2 million people that are subscribed. The true meaning of a super-star is the perception of the individual by the intended audience. He is amazing to us. And there are a lot of us.

[@secretly98]

I am such a romantic person and this was just so lovely❤️

[@alarika7120]

This song touches my heart so much, it brought the ability for me to love again. It's been broken too many times, I've shut out all emotions. And now I feel like I can love people again because of this song and the fantastic work u do. I just want to say thank u for helping me without u realizing it.

[@thomasroberts78]

Between Peter & Mike... Two of my favorite a cappella singers. I have wanted to see them do something together since stumbling upon both of them. Thank you so much Peter & Mike! It's an awesome video.

[@raysun2be]

Great! The awesome ***** classic sound is back with this one! As usual, solid killer arrangement by Tom Anderson, great contrast between Mike Tompkins and Peter, they work well together. A bit heavier than usual with the autotune, but that's just me. And the video is excellent, lots of touching moments with the 2 couples!. When Peter was kissing ***** tummy really got to me, took me back to when my wife was with child and the love and joy we felt. But Pook of joy? Lol, never heard that one before. Peter, you are a dork, and I say that as a compliment, and with great fondness! Excellent as always, many replays for this one!

[@PeterHollens]

ha! YES! IMO being a dork or a nerd or a geek is 100000X better than being "Cool" or "Popular" - I got beat up and picked on all through school. So bad that at times I didn't want to be alive.... really horrible things kids do to others... but guess what? It made me a stronger person, and I learned from it and now I couldn't care less what people think.

[@raysun2be]

***** I can relate. I too am a dork/nerd/geek, and was a skinny kid who got picked on as well up until the 9th grade. I was lucky, as I wasn't bothered in high school due to a certain non violent event at the start of 10th grade. I was left alone after that.

[@cheskaadriano7932]

***** This. Comment. Made. My. Life. I've been struggling with being a "social outcast" for a couple years now, and I've gotten used to it, but of course it always hurts a bit. But knowing someone that was bullied and felt like I do can move on to be the amazing gift you are today - to your wife, KZbin, the music industry, and basically the world - makes me feel so much better! Love you and your work, Peter! Thanks so much :)

[@SanctusEvocator1]

I don't like One Direction at all but you guys make this song actually awesome to listen too!!! Awesome job Peter and Mike!!!!

[@muaoribia4140]

Seconded!!

[@Bleachbum69]

I LOVE THIS!! Awesome job, Peter and Mike!! Keep 'em coming! Happy Valentine's Day!

[@KhrystynaFedunkiv]

Amazing! I have fallen in love with your voice. Your vocal range blew me away. I am definitely your fan now.

[@XionProductions]

Great cover, loved it. Love that song, and I think you may have made it better than the original with this one.

[@CrazyCrystalala]

Ahh can you guys do all your songs together?????

[@jsdelarosa1016]

Very very nice... just listening to the intro almost made me cry... KEEP IT UP!!

[@rickleichter4782]

Absolutely Amazing, I wondered if I would see Peter and Mike collaborate. It is as I had expected truly amazing and enjoyable.

[@vbamazin]

that baby is going to be beautiful.

[@GrizzlyAdams59]

Beautiful? Sure, but can you imagine the voice this child will possess? Closest sound to Heaven God will allow methinks :)

[@funnyclips426]

So much more meaning then the original music video

[@junrocks9000]

It's the same lyrics....

[@jollyjubie]

the original video is about sacrifice of childhood memories and how you have to grow up and face reality. really?

[@funnyclips426]

Julie Tobin junrocks Ik but this vid is on their love ones, and one d is reality IDK to me it has more feeling

[@thatonechick4551]

piper Their love ones are in the original music video... Have you watched it? It even shows how Louis's grandparents have passed away... So yeah...

[@elliommmm]

I am speechless, literally... have you any idea how amazing you are? this is one of the best things i've ever heard in my entire life

[@taylortreankler3190]

I literally cannot stop watching this! I love it! Great job guys!

[@david_k5703]

Just imagine how it'd be if Peter, Mike and Pentatonix would do a song together 😁

They are so adorable. I love Peter and Evynne!! Cutest couple and so happy for you guys. I have become addicted to this song and it became so much better now!!

[@Nevestalie]

awesome rendition (as always!!!)... and seeing the families growing like yours is just unique. To me 14th February will forever be my elder son's birthday (he's 2 today) which is the best loving & romantic gift my wife and I could ever have for a Valentine's day. Enjoy the thrill of the pregnancy, it is so dense in everything (love, hope and so much more)... and it is even better after when baby is there and put his eyes upon yours. Wish you all the best to you and your family 4ever. PS: continue to make us dream with your fab' voice & talent - Happy Valentine's & Love from France

[@zak4861]

How do people like mike Thompson have way more subscribers then peter when he clearly has more talent

[@ReddOwen]

Better than the original. Mike... genius! :D

[@emilykelley2016]

[@mackenziemiller7497]

I have been a fan of both Mike & Peter for several years now and I continue to love all the music you produce. You both are true talents :) I'm now going to go buy the song and listen on repeat as I enjoy my "Single's Awareness Day" all alone :P

[@michaeljacobson4597]

I actually like this version better than Pentatonix's!

[@haileywoodworth6667]

I can't decide which one I like better.... such a hard choice!!

[@clairebear1101]
