Nobody is sleeping. I’m a single mom that doesn’t get out much. I watched him live. I drove 2.5hrs to get there. Showed up ticketless and managed to get in last minute. I will forever love the way his voice rings in my soul. And the way it echoed on the city buildings that night, my nose was frozen! But in that moment my spirit was on fire.

I first heard this song, this cover last year when I was 800 miles away from my wife. Working on a construction job for months. It was all I could do not to shed tears. The feelings rushed through me like a total wave. Needless to say my wife and I danced to this song alone at my daughter's wedding a few months later.

This is gorgeous. Totally different vibe, it's like the Weekend's version is the one you listen to as you're headed out getting hyped for your night, and this is the version you listen to when you're laying in bed at the end of your night.

[@SudokuPUA]

Well said!

[@stephencurtis2450]

The weekend’s original is the beginning of a relationship or friendship that really feels right. This version is years later when it unravels and can’t be the same again.

Idk underrated is relative, many of their songs have millions of views, even tens of millions, several have been used in pretty big movies, i agree that theyre not necessarily household names and that they're super talented (I've gotten to see them live twice highly recommend), but i feel like for the type of band they are theyre just about as popular as id expect. I certainly would have a hard time calling them underrated. Now saint motel, saint motel is underrated

[@jcbrutalhonesty456]

This song tears me up, I’ve been in the same relationship for 13 years. I’ve loved this woman more than life itself but as time has gone on, we’ve grown distant and walk through our home like strangers on most days. We’ve done the counseling and the talking, we’re having a hard time making the decision that leads to the unknown. We want to love each other, but it’s just not there anymore. This song just killed me the first time I heard it, because I need someone. I’m tired of being alone in my own home.

[@tammyb6168]

Heart goes out to you. I went through this and regret not staying and fighting for my marriage. Please find a way to be there for each other and don't give up. The world seems as if its becoming off kilter. You both deserve to love and be loved. Find the spark!😉
