Tool- Sober (Acoustic Cover by Mark Farinas)

[@jerrybutler1542]

I wish this would go viral. Everyone needs to hear this

[@Chinofied]

Jerry Butler That’s so awesome to hear. I’m really glad you like it. Thank you

[@Coloradoaudits]

Couldn't agree more

[@mattersofmadminds4182]

I completely agree with you... Jerry, are you the stalking butler, Mr. Butler?

[@GRequinBlanc]

If he tuned in drop d…

[@lordseph]

Sweet lord, when he opens up his vocals at 2:10 it is glorious.

[@Chinofied]

Thank you very much, I glad you enjoyed.

[@blufango]

What a majestic natural reverb!

[@jdeighan]

I clicked past this video looking for an official acoustic version. I'm so glad I decide to play it.

[@Chinofied]

@@jdeighan thank you

[@avscovercorner]

Dude! Very nice. Does anyone else notice he is singing in a cold room. You can see his breath on the bigger notes. Added difficulty there.

[@Chinofied]

Avalon Hidell Awesome :) thanks a lot of watching

[@BobbyMasiak]

I saw his breath too and I thought, "WTF?" Yeah..playing in a cold room would definitely be added difficulty!

[@samanthabennett-medievh5328]

I am EXTREMELY picky about Tool covers. This was awesome!

That's an incredible compliment, thank you.

Bellissima esecuzione

[@marklgolden]

I know this is an old post but holy balls this is a great cover of this song. Tool is so hard to cover with just one guitar and no other instruments or loops. Killer cover man, I have added this to my playlist man. Great Job.

[@Chinofied]

That's so awesome to hear man, thank you very much. I appreciate the feedback.

[@mateogonzalez6421]

Dude, this was actually one of the best covers I have ever seen done of any song. Earned a sub, boss.

[@Chinofied]

That's a tremendous compliment and I appreciate it so much. Thanks for the sub. I'm very sorry that I haven't continued to do these covers over the last few years. Been doing a lot of traveling and cooking vids. Hopefully, I can get back to doing cover vids in the future.

[@Chinofied]

@@kednelly thank you very much. I honestly don’t remember which one I used because it’s been ages, but I didn’t use only one. It was more of a combination of a few that I found on Ultimate Guitar Tabs. I chose each section that worked the best for how I wanted to arrange the song.

To anybody who wants to sing along There's a shadow just behind me Shrouding every breath I take Making every promise empty Pointing every finger at me Waiting like a stalking butler Who upon the finger rests Murder now the path called must we Just before the son has come Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done? Jesus, won't you fucking whistle Something but the past and done? Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over Why can't we drink forever I just want to start this over I am just a worthless liar I am just an imbecile I will only complicate you Trust in me and fall as well I will find a center in you I will chew it up and leave I will work to elevate you Just enough to bring you down Mother Mary won't you whisper Something but what's past and done Mother Mary won't you whisper Something but what's past and done Why can't we not be sober? I just want to start this over Why can't we sleep forever I just want to start this over I am just a worthless liar I am just an imbecile I will only complicate you Trust in me and fall as well I will find a center in you I will chew it up and leave Trust me Why can't we not be sober?
