I wish this version of them playing at the hideout was still on youtube. I thought I'd never find this badass version of the song ever again.

[@GoSTLBlues]

I couldn’t agree more so much better than the more digital version

[@skyDN1974]

Ther heroin hideout version was way better too. The album released version sounded like Josh was trying too hard to sound emotional lol

[@drkrueger1]

Me too. That was my favorite.

[@skyDN1974]

Wait is the audio from the hide out session? I remember it sounding different for some reason

[@drkrueger1]

@@skyDN1974 I agree. This is not the same version. That's one of the few bad things about having so many versions to choose from. When you lose your favorite, it sux.

[@cmummert79]

The Hideout should have been their 1st LP, IMHO. Not knocking the reprisal, glad The Jester is getting air play, but this is the definitive version.

[@RoxyKandyKoRn55]

This is the best version... I wish they had kept the original video up...That the video n version of The jestor that got me listen ing to Badflower!!!

[@grainofsand4176]

Yes!! I would buy" the hideout " versions without a second thought!

[@gena4638]

Agreed...I love this version far more than the radio version. They took this version down and I couldn't find it for a long time.

[@safariguide1590]

Omg thank God this one is still up. I love this version more than the other one

[@RoxyKandyKoRn55]

Totally agree...Pissed cuz they took down the original version, from the hideout...So glad we still have the audio portion of the video...

[@sekke8601]

Aleasha Matew I know well I mean I know as agree I’m not a stalker

[@gavinwitten2830]

They've got the original video in a dropbox file on their Twitter. Google 'The Jester Live from the Hideout' and it'll come up. Hurry though, it'll be down soon enough.

[@heatherhess7268]

@@gavinwitten2830 Hey could you remove that link? It was originally posted as a gift to those who caught it in the time frame of the video's removal and then we were intended to keep it to ourselves. Just a head's up..

[@OWStruggles]

I was literally just thinking this! This is my favorite version of this song and I was upset when they took down the live performance video this went with.

[@lefthandersrule9419]

Thank God this version is still up. I'm so upset they deleted the originals. Like, I understand they wanted to revise it and make it to their current standards, but they didn't have to delete the old version. I love this version so much, and not to say the new one is bad, but it's just not the same. This version feels so genuine and raw. From the opening verse the singer (Josh) sounds broken, mentally detached and exhausted. There is this hopelessness to his vocalizations that feels tangible. This version is perfect for what the song is trying to convey; being forgotten in a crowd that was supposed to care. He sounds devastated. The new one feels... too polished? There is something about it that WANTS to capture the rawness of the original, but it's too conscious. Like every word is sung with the purpose of sounding authentic, rather than actually being authentic. The soft parts are too soft, too much effort in making it quiet that it loses the empty tone. The heavy, louder parts are too aggressive and doesn't capture the same heartbreak of the original. Both versions are good, but if this version gets deleted forever, I will never listen to Jester again. Nothing, at least to me, can beat this version.

[@skyDN1974]

Too conscious is the perfect wording. It just feels a bit insincere in the polished version

[@timcanaday2400]

I recently thought I found the love of my life so I traveled 1700 miles to be with her.Then traveled back 1700miles to be with my true love ,my wife of 29 years.She was always looking out for me.Her health is dwindling, now I look out for her,and I no longer have tears on my shoes and ice on my shoulders...such a touching song, I love you my dear Judy..

[@tylerchristian6845]

It's sad how underrated these guys are

[@thedarkphantom3880]

You got that one right

[@sekke8601]

Tyler Christian it’s sad they took this version of the song down

[@ManticFilly]

@@sekke8601 hell is heartbreaking. The original is best not that radio friendly one.

[@denisemaynard2494]

They r truly great

[@cindymcdonald2071]

This is a phenomenal band right here!!

[@denisemaynard2494]

Tom and Cindy r great also

[@michaeljoseph3703]

Omg thank you for giving us back this version. I like the jazziness of the guitar on this version.

[@desolatesoul2304]

Both versions are great! The other one is more melodic in my opinion; more reverb and melody which fits more with the somber mood of the song. This one is less melodic and more Rock’ish. Both serve their purpose. 🤘 I absolutely love the acoustic version of this song. It’s got the most raw emotion to it. Then again, acoustic makes everything better.❤️

[@julieplybon9274]

Raw emotions is a perfect description, D. Soul. Well said indeed !!!

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

Why is the band and/or their label/management trying so hard to hide this fantastic version of the song?

[@leonine36]

This song comes on the radio a lot but I never payed attention to it until today when I found myself humming the chorus and just couldn't stop until I found out what it was called. Now this is one of my favorites. Love the lyrics

[@elizabethjenkins1987]

Felt this in my soul

[@adrianholland6787]

Such a talented group, seems to be getting better with each new song. 👍🏻

[@racheladams6000]

Today I found out that I do have someone looking out for me, and I feel less alone. I’ve found an angel in disguise.

[@Stamper471]

It is sad my boyfriend sent this to me the other day . I can't help but worry. He's jus going through a lot of stuff. And he won't talk to me about anything. I'm hoping I'm his Angel in disguise. I am trying .

[@Lov34OneAnother33]

Saw these guys years ago when they opened for Breaking Benjamin!! Was super surprised and impressed!! Great energy! Love this song!

[@Skye2248]

I think this is my favorite song of theirs.

[@tman55free41]

These guys are underrated cuz they won't sell their soul to apollyon they Rock the song is so awesome! Will be long now

[@urdadsayshi8218]

This version is 100x better, in my opinion, than the album version. It's raw and just hits so much harder.

[@christopherkreinholz6851]

They are beyond the human limited versions, and the only way to evolve is to resonate the blocks from societys , just do better , u made ur choices , let it go , but what they don't see is the inner torment of how people can not put themselves in others worlds unless they trancend there own world... and this band has the gift to be that impression of expression to gain acceptance of the real depression and oppression..just the lessons we must feel inorder to rise to our acension.. so if ur starting to pay attention you may be waking to ur inner descresion .. repression , to go forward u must go in the opposite direction , for a visual representation of our self annilation. Which is the only way to prepare for our fated destination, which could be much worse then what the world so gloats to our fragile egos .. so wanting to concuer the world but to afraid to let it all go..so it becomes a hinderance to our spiritual revealtion that we are all nothing never more beyond the world of infinite possiblitits.. never here nor free .... never there nor seen
