can u please cover turn my head

[@TheEricHaugenGroup]

Sitting in the year 2024, reminiscing back on the 90s music, this song has aged fantastically!

[@jerkwater407]

Why can nobody understand December, The World I Know, Shine, any Collective Soul? I know it is kinda "random" 90s rock but c'mon it is some of the most deep and fulfilling songs to sing. Please youtube get on the December bandwagon! React and play that song!

[@christopherfrancis7522]

Damn right! Whole new meaning in my 40s.

[@MAgaSUXX]

What a talent! So much feeling and sound from one guitar and one voice… Some covers are a tribute such as this one🎶❤

[@frankfossaceca9616]

Mike Is So Talented !! This Is Just Brilliant !!! My Favorite Collective Soul Song Of All Time !!!

[@gwynjudd]

I love that 12 string sound

[@raywideman7157]

Gwyn Judd I was just thinking of how BIG this one sounds!!

[@ryanritter9520]

I have a 6-string Guild and I would put it up against Martin or Taylor any day.

[@pureenlightmen]

Is like two people playing guitars

[@bradsevere4894]

Literally brought tears to my eyes man. Beautiful sound and vocals!

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

For real...literally

[@tjh315]

@@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785 HYPERBOLE !!!! Brad is using the fine art of HYPERBOLE.

[@coryrouse969]

Amazing Thank you!

[@kodibassInsideoutboards]

Sure hope he is getting bank 4 this, Much Talent, the way a flat top 12 needs 2 B played, Just FANTASTIC.

[@johngodsey5327]

Awesome. Learning it now

[@johnnyp8411]

One of the better covers of this on KZbin. Nice job

[@theopoiesis]

Gooooood

[@mattrogers6835]

Absolute love for this performance. Takes me back to 1995 when things were complicated as hell, and yet so much simpler somehow. Thank you :)

[@joejohnston2035]

Still feel that way in 2020 ?

[@tonikimpel7891]

Even more so now in 2024

[@dregdot]

Love this song

[@trirycheman]

One of the bright spots in 90's music. Great job brother!

[@bigwilly1850]

The song is actually about suicide by jumping off a building.

[@Jeddleman424]

Well you killed that….beautiful. Thank you

[@TempoDrift1480]

Dude... The first time I saw you on KZbin, you were doing "Don't you forget about me" and I seriously though you were the actual dude that did that song. (because I didn't know names) and I was fuckin blown away to find out it was just a dude on a cover. Well I woke up with this song in my head, wondering how it would turn out with a 12 string and I'll be dipped in shit and dropped in hay, Here is Mike with a Guild pulling this shit off dern near perfect. I hope you don't mind but I'm gonna dump this in Audacity and add bass and drums. I wish I had a way to post it afterwards but my equipment is limited to what I was able to fit in my trunk. So... Thanks for this man, Now I got a project for this weekend.

[@conanthedestroyer7123]

That 12 string Guild is a BEAST of and axe slaying! And your pipes are the voice from Vahala!

[@jrjubach]

Thanks for teaching this song to me! Played right along with you, bro. 🤘🏼

[@4cpus4me]

If I died and came back with a voice it would be yours. Your hard work really shines.

[@joew717]

BEAUTIFUL! I wish there was a way to record the way a Guild 12 string just sizzles in your hands

[@jdebultra]

Very nice rendition. Beautiful guitar. Wonderful voice as well.

[@RideRockPunk]

That's it when someone like you play and sing from the bottom of his heart. Great!

[@TheWanderingOak]

This is one of my favorite Collective Soul songs and you've done it justice!

[@ADoc1980]

I feel like I've seen every one of your videos 10 times, and somehow I've missed this one. And a classic song at that. Well done, as always!

[@shaneross7428]

Absolutely beautiful voice and playing I had tears coming down

[@frankfossaceca9616]

I cry my Eyes out every time I watch him play this !!!!!!!!!

[@PeterJVogel]

Killer. That 12-string is butter. Nice vox too. 👏👏👏

Home run Mike. Well done!

[@florzinhala]

Lembro do homem que desiste de se jogar do alto de um prédio quando um pássaro pousa na mão dele. Amo essa música. Lindo cover. Parabéns!

[@scm0717]

Beautiful!

[@WashburnD10]

On my next trip there I'm going to ensure I am able to see Mike perform. Everything is a auditory treat not to mention the soul he puts into his music. Wow!

[@Sonoman023]

It's my birth week! :D I just got myself the nicest collection of your music from iTunes as a present to me... because your music is my favorite to listen to during my work day.. this is fantastic. Thanks, Mike, you make me smile!

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

Hey are you a scorpio by chance? Hahah! Sorry...omg why am i responding to a comment from 3 years ago? I must be drunk.

[@eurabio]

I became an instant fan a month ago. I think you could write your own songs and they would be awesome. Greeting from Mexico.

[@joijiv]

eurabio I'm totally agree with You!

[@klydefernandes2727]

I love this song ....just takes me to the flash back ...when i lost my job....walking back home, holding myself so that i dont cry ....well this song playing on my phone playlist ...kept me motivated that this is not the end 🙏....

[@trilliputdolgopa]

a superb cover of this gorgeous song

[@Prof_Jeff]

Saw Collective Soul shout out to you on Twitter and Facebook. Congratulations! I'm not on either platform, so I thought I would leave a comment on the video.

[@randygardner2025]

Incredibly awesome!

[@arturoredondohernandez1852]

[@johnmccartney7480]

GREAT JOB MIKE!!! We can see that this song means alot to you as well.

[@rudyestrada9921]

Talented man . Show alot if versatility

[@longsnapper5381]

Collective Soul is right in your wheelhouse, buddy. That was beautiful, thank you.

[@achaille9110]

Great job, Mike! I enjoy your renditions of great music, so much.

[@flexor212000]

Dang! So good. I swear I could hear the bass and violins break in in my head.

[@stephanieredden8861]

This is a really good cover of a really good tune.

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

Beautiful cover, nice Guild jumbo(?) 12 string, one of my never-gonna-happen wishlist guitars(but my 1975 Alvarez is ok-despite damage from a time it fell out of It's case onto a concrete driveway around 20 years ago). This guy sounds so sincere and emotional with his voice...aspects that are becoming more and more taboo in modern society, emotional people are on edge, and potentially a danger to themselves or others. I just turned 40 today and have been going through a mid-life crisis for the past few years....it's peaking right now, and I am crying.

[@dannyinaus]

Awesome Mike, just awesome

[@jorgemendoza5598]

Well done, I love Collective Soul. Greetings from Peru.

[@notpurple]

another awesome cover. powerful

[@Jubeik78]

Excellent cover! The best one I've seen so far. Well done!

[@sfbsfb]

There is such passion in the way you play, even when playing a fairly straightforward chord progression such as in the chorus here. Takes me back to when I noodled around with rhythm guitar many years ago. Your vocal is on point as well, as always.

[@mumbojumbo123456789]

So awesome!

[@Radamsgp007]

That song sounds so good on a 12 string!

[@brettmacan6957]

Vocal vibrato spot on!

[@bigdog5204]

Man that was good. Real good.

[@goudan]

Well this is it, I wanted to try this song, looked out for covers to find a way to play it, and BANG i end up here and realize there is no possible way in this life that I could even come close to play as well as you do, life sometimes suck real bad to be me... you are awesome, simply awesome!!!!

[@johnlydick9173]

So nice. Guitar sounds great. Mike is having a blast playing and singing!

[@esehn6972]

Outstanding performance. Thank you

[@jeffroitero4266]

Hey Mike, how about a cover of "7 Years" by Lukas Graham? I could almost picture it, I think it'd be right up your alley.

[@junarbardoquin1717]

Nice playing guitar.. I like the song!

[@666pokey]

Bravo!

[@dogmosatchmo]

Really...Great...Cover... Coldchills....

[@maartenvandervorst1964]

Very nice song and performance. I see you use a kind of anechoic chamber to record your songs. We use the same kind of "quiet room" but then to measure antenna performances. Maybe next time when you come to the Netherlands you could play at our room :-))

[@antibot111]

Awesome song and your skill and voice

[@stuboyle666]

Wow Mike! That Guild 12 string sounds great.

[@dukemartin6657]

Clean strumming
