How can you guys not like Ben Barlow's vocals, I think Tyler's voice alongside Ben's very unique voice works terrifically, some of you guys clearly haven't invested listening time into any Neck Deep, terrific band.
risshi, I actually feel inclined to agree man, funny thing is this is more his stressed pop punk voice, that doesn't really make sense tbh, go check out his cover of fast car, he actually has a terrific singing voice
I actually like the contrast between the two vocal types and can understand exactly why they chose the combination that they did. They're trying to replicate the harshness of the screams but with singing as the delivery method.
Whoever is saying that these two singers don't mix well is an idiot. Bens got that raspy, piercing voice. While Tylers got that softer, more technical. Sounds so good to have two different types of singers jell together like this.
Every member in this band is talented, new drummer Case has great flow and still keeps technicality, Jake on bass is musically inclined and knowledgable, Ty is talented at mixing, adding to the drums and setting this band apart, Aj is a really talented guitarist making great riffs with great tone for a single guitarist, mike is a surpassing vocalist, and tyler is a trained and talented vocalist that has made this band stand out from the many bands of this genre, Mike and Tyler really compliment each other.
I really don't care if a bands fanbase are 12 or 90yrs old, nor do I care if they're crazy famous or not. If you like the music that they took the time to produce then it really doesn't matter what everyone else says. I'm not saying if you don't like it 'fuck off' but can you refrain from trying to blame your personal disapproval on little girls.
This sounds like a state champs song, literally sounds like it could go on "the acoustic things" never thought I'd hear Ben Barlow sing on an issues song, that's interesting word
I just started writing an album that talks about heavy and meaningful issues(no pun intended) that we all face everyday or once in our adolescence. So far I'm happy with how it's coming along. Thanks for being an inspiration Issues and Neck Deep. Keep being awesome
Okay this song is so good. I’ve never heard a song that so perfectly expresses what I feel inside at this moment and it’s heart warming to know other people feel exactly the way that I do. I could listen to it on repeat all day. “I hope you make peace with your pain, and never lose your flames”
I’ve recently disowned my abusive mother, and her entire side of the family. This song is really getting me through it. I’m 24, and with my girlfriend of 2 years just moved 5 states away on our own to start fresh. 1 month in and it’s the been the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve got a job that I like making decent money, and I’m in school to do something I’ve always dreamed of. It took almost a quarter of a century of hell and torment to finally reach this milestone. This song held me through the worst of it all.
I've listened to tyler and michael since their Number[s] days and will never stop listening to them. They are the people that really got me into metalcore
Neck deep is amazing. Ben did great and complimented this song greatly. And Tyler. Love the acoustic ep. Good revision of the old stuff. I like seeing stuff from new angles. Great job guys
Michael really isn't wasting his time in this band.. Just because their fan base tends to flock to Tyler (e.g. as SWS's fan base tends to put Kellin up on the pedestal) doesn't mean he's not important and very valid to the band. Issues wouldn't be metalcore without an unclean vocalist, because Tyler only does cleans, and Michael and Tyler have co-fronted what, three bands now? Unless they had a massive ETF/Ronnie sort-of feud, I can't really see them dividing off into their own bands. And let's be real here: they're a power team as vocalists. Woe Is Me was an excellent band, A Path Less Travelled was an excellent band, and Issues is an excellent band. Not to discredit the fellow members of the bands, because believe me, they are all just as important, vital, and talented as Michael and Tyler, but it's just too coincidental that all of their bands have been so good with them on vocals. They're doing well, and Michael is pretty obviously happy being in the band, or otherwise he would've left like he did with WIM. Stop griping. God.
Anybody can scream and he doesn't scream in any special or specific way. He IS definitely replaceable. You're just attached to him. Honestly, this EP showed he is really not needed and is actually holding this band back from being more successful.
I literally do not understand all the hate on this song. Ben came in on this because they wanted him to. Sure, Michael could have done it but he didn't and that's perfectly ok. Maybe he didn't want to or maybe they just wanted to try something different. Why would Michael start another hardcore band when he's already doing so well in Issues? He enjoys co-fronting the band with one of his best friends and he enjoys being in a band with the rest of the guys. He's got plenty of chances to shine with this band, especially live. You guys would know that if you've ever seen them live. Michael kills it.
I don’t think it matters if “fan girls “ who are 12 like this band, it doesn’t matter the age people love to listen to what they want regardless of their age :)
All I could do as I listened to this song was shake my head because HOW CAN A SONG BE SO PERFECT HOW CAN THERE BE SUCH A CULMINATION OF BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WOW
Why are people so polarized? I love both EPs and the album by Issues. I hope they continue to make unique and meaningful music, both heavy and light. They're talented, so whatever they do will be incredible. I don't understand all the arguing and such.
I can never manage to get the original song out my head I was always whistling it on the way to work (& tragically attempting to sing in it the shower xD), but when I found this acoustic version I'm now just jamming my guitar to this whenever I've got a minute, such a great song.
I love this so much. This makes me so happy. I love how they changed some of the lyrics and give another meaning to this song. Issues is moving on up into my top 10 favorite bands.
Riddle me this, I gotta figure it out Are they laughing at me Because I'm prone to fear and doubt? Am I messed up, am I loud? Well eat my dust, that's all I am a speck out in the crowd I'm trying to clean up the mess I made But the towel I used to soak up my worry, it just went up in flames You see I got a conscience like gasoline I could siphon shit out, fuck it and leave But, I fuel the fire with everything they say, it's stuck in my mind You're better off dead If you got the keys then start the car and Drive as far as you can If you got the blood then you got the heart to Give yourself a chance Seems like we've been so scarred Some people call it art I hope you make peace with your pain And never lose your flames Misunderstood, I'm misunderstood I will live to my fullest because I owned my name the best I could How much does it hurt To live like we live like everybody else? Or am I better off dead? Feeling like I'm nothing's something that I'm getting used to Trying to devise a plan that's positively fool proof Nobody can see me past these walls that I've been building Now it's starting to cave in but I won't give up If you got the keys then start the car and Drive as far as you can If you got the blood then you got the heart to Give yourself a chance Seems like we've been so scarred Some people call it art I hope you make peace with your pain And never lose your flames Feeling like I'm nothing's something that I'm getting used to Wanting to fit in, I always wanted to be perfect to you I gotta get up out this bed If you can see inside my head, you understand I got to give up Feeling like I'm nothing's something that I'm getting used to Trying to devise a plan that's positively fool proof Nobody can see me past these walls that I've been building Now it's starting to cave in but I won't give up If you got the keys then start the car and Drive as far as you can If you got the blood then you got the heart to Give yourself a chance Seems like we've been so scarred Some people call it art I hope you make peace with your pain And never lose your flames
I love both neck deep and issues, yet when i first heard about the release of this track, I wasn't sure if tyler's and ben's vocals would work well together. Turns out I was wrong. Both of their voices are different, but awesome.
omg I remember when I did this for my school talent show last year and nobody and I mean NOBODY got the point of the song like how can you not, it's right their in the lyrics
+D Panzone I hear you, I like it more due to the fact that i can understand the lyrics more. And i just tend to like acoustic and raw feeling music. I like both, but I like the acoustic more.
This is different and I actually enjoyed it. Been listening to Issues ever since Tyler formed the band. They've progressed so much. Also, for the complainers, if you were fans you wouldn't bash on them for things they're doing for you. If you think Mike doesn't get recognition, he's had it and always will. Stop complaining cause he doesn't sing, maybe he's self conscious about it. Ever think of that? If you can't respect a band for their changes, or their featured artists/vocalists in their songs, just get out. Please, we already have enough negativity in the world. Thanks.
A lot of people are hating on Issues, and this EP. But I am personally really enjoying this acoustic EP. I hate hardcore/screamo/metal (i dont know what its called) But i absolutely love Tyler Carter's vocals. You may be hating on it because you're used to harder stuff, but they're also gaining more fans like me, who appreciate the broken down acoustic versions of songs :p
Idk why ppl are so butt hurt saying they feel bad for Michael it's just a reimagination of there last album for ppl that don't want something heavy to listen to and can appreciate there lyrics and message they have to say.
How can you guys not like Ben Barlow's vocals, I think Tyler's voice alongside Ben's very unique voice works terrifically, some of you guys clearly haven't invested listening time into any Neck Deep, terrific band.
Swagcat only people with more heavy roots will like his voice. I love that raspy badass rocker voice.
Swagcat , He doesn't really have the voice for acoustic imo
risshi, I actually feel inclined to agree man, funny thing is this is more his stressed pop punk voice, that doesn't really make sense tbh, go check out his cover of fast car, he actually has a terrific singing voice
Swagcat Hooooly shit, I didn't even know about his Fast Car cover, it's great. Thanks, dude!
Swagcat so true!
7 years have gone. But every time I listen to this song, it brings tears to my eyes and makes my heart flutter. Thank you for this. ♥️
Same here ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow 7 years already...
Holy shit. Neck deep and Issues are my two favorite bands right now. This was my favorite song of 2014 and this is just fucking awesome. Wow
I actually like the contrast between the two vocal types and can understand exactly why they chose the combination that they did. They're trying to replicate the harshness of the screams but with singing as the delivery method.
Two of my favorite vocalists from two of my favorite bands :D
This version is SO underrated.
Whoever is saying that these two singers don't mix well is an idiot. Bens got that raspy, piercing voice. While Tylers got that softer, more technical. Sounds so good to have two different types of singers jell together like this.
Ben Barlow is amazing. His voice is so unique . #poppunk
These guys sound so great together. Neck Deep & Issues are two of my favorite bands & I couldn't have asked for this to be any better. I'm so proud. ❤
Never imagined hearing Tyler's vocals up next to Ben's. I love it.
At first i wasn't a fan of Ben's voice in this but after listening to this many times, I cant stop singing it and I frickin love this
Every member in this band is talented, new drummer Case has great flow and still keeps technicality, Jake on bass is musically inclined and knowledgable, Ty is talented at mixing, adding to the drums and setting this band apart, Aj is a really talented guitarist making great riffs with great tone for a single guitarist, mike is a surpassing vocalist, and tyler is a trained and talented vocalist that has made this band stand out from the many bands of this genre, Mike and Tyler really compliment each other.
Case hasn't been the drummer for quite a while now...
Josh is the drummer now and Sky (Ty's brother) is the bassist.
Insert Josh for case and Sky for jake** that's who'm I meant, thanks for the correction!
Seriously talented and Tyler stays true to what he does
I really don't care if a bands fanbase are 12 or 90yrs old, nor do I care if they're crazy famous or not. If you like the music that they took the time to produce then it really doesn't matter what everyone else says.
I'm not saying if you don't like it 'fuck off' but can you refrain from trying to blame your personal disapproval on little girls.
Genius at it's finest. 👌
100% true!
I completely agree! love the name btw ;)
Tia Rowe IS THE MOST RESPECTABLE PERSON ON THIS FEED i still listen to sleeping with sirens and theres worse off
This sounds like a state champs song, literally sounds like it could go on "the acoustic things"
never thought I'd hear Ben Barlow sing on an issues song, that's interesting
word
This song saves me every single day.
This made me cry cus it's my favorite song and acoustic just makes it a million times better I can't 😭❤️
At first I didn't think it would work because Ben and Tyler have such different voices but they really pulled it off in my opinion.
i absolutely fkn adore this. ben and tyler's voices somehow compliment the other and the guitar is amazing.
THIS IS PERFECT MY TWO FAVORITE BANDS PUT TOGETHER IN AN ACOUSTIC SONG OMFG
Ben's vocals are so amazing when he doesn't yell, but yelling adds power and gets me pumped so.
Mixed emotions.
I just started writing an album that talks about heavy and meaningful issues(no pun intended) that we all face everyday or once in our adolescence. So far I'm happy with how it's coming along. Thanks for being an inspiration Issues and Neck Deep. Keep being awesome
Bro i need to see that
Okay this song is so good. I’ve never heard a song that so perfectly expresses what I feel inside at this moment and it’s heart warming to know other people feel exactly the way that I do. I could listen to it on repeat all day. “I hope you make peace with your pain, and never lose your flames”
Going to be honest I didn't expect to like this version as much as the other one, but the dude from Neck Deeps voice adds something really nice here.
I’ve recently disowned my abusive mother, and her entire side of the family. This song is really getting me through it. I’m 24, and with my girlfriend of 2 years just moved 5 states away on our own to start fresh. 1 month in and it’s the been the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve got a job that I like making decent money, and I’m in school to do something I’ve always dreamed of. It took almost a quarter of a century of hell and torment to finally reach this milestone. This song held me through the worst of it all.
this song. is. life. I've just had bad life. issue is a. good band. I can't wait to see. them soon
As much as I love issues, Ben's voice improved this. His voice is different and I like it.
this song ahead of its time lol
I've listened to tyler and michael since their Number[s] days and will never stop listening to them. They are the people that really got me into metalcore
This Song is honestly just gold.
I feel like I am just someone who enjoys music more than social interactions.
Derek Guffie ur not alone
you guys are not alone
Party in my yard. In my room listening to this
Well, I mean. Music is far more beautiful.
i’m the same way
Originality, that's why this band is the best. Best unique band ever.
4 Years and this song is still a bop!
Tyler is still one of the best singers of all time. I’d be beep bopping around if I had his voice.
The voices of Tyler Carter and Ben Barlow just come together so perfectly. It is truly amazing.
Neck deep is amazing. Ben did great and complimented this song greatly. And Tyler. Love the acoustic ep. Good revision of the old stuff. I like seeing stuff from new angles. Great job guys
Issues never fails to impress
Michael really isn't wasting his time in this band.. Just because their fan base tends to flock to Tyler (e.g. as SWS's fan base tends to put Kellin up on the pedestal) doesn't mean he's not important and very valid to the band.

They're doing well, and Michael is pretty obviously happy being in the band, or otherwise he would've left like he did with WIM. Stop griping. God.
You sir, have earned my respect.
Seriously, thank you!
Anybody can scream and he doesn't scream in any special or specific way. He IS definitely replaceable. You're just attached to him. Honestly, this EP showed he is really not needed and is actually holding this band back from being more successful.
...and Michael got kicked out now
ben's vocals make it so much better
"Feeling like I'm nothing's something that I'm getting used to" Most relatable lyric ever...
They get an awesome song and they turn it into something better MASTERPIECE
Ben Barlows voice is soo good.
Ben barlow ugh my god i love his vocals
If Ben Barlow was a permanent member then I would definitely listen to them more, his voice sounds so raw on this track
I literally do not understand all the hate on this song. Ben came in on this because they wanted him to. Sure, Michael could have done it but he didn't and that's perfectly ok. Maybe he didn't want to or maybe they just wanted to try something different.

I don’t think it matters if “fan girls “ who are 12 like this band, it doesn’t matter the age people love to listen to what they want regardless of their age :)
I like this style a lot more than the heavier stuff.
YESSSSS. Ben in this makes it sound soo sick.
omg please make a Neck Deep x Issues joint album/EP
Just remembered this holy song 😍
Ben's voice fits so well in this
Wow amazing, please make more renditions with Neck Deep!!! So good
All I could do as I listened to this song was shake my head because HOW CAN A SONG BE SO PERFECT HOW CAN THERE BE SUCH A CULMINATION OF BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WOW
i dont even care im in love with this
Why are people so polarized? I love both EPs and the album by Issues. I hope they continue to make unique and meaningful music, both heavy and light. They're talented, so whatever they do will be incredible. I don't understand all the arguing and such.
This entire album makes me so happy. It lifts my spirits; I love them so much.
I can never manage to get the original song out my head I was always whistling it on the way to work (& tragically attempting to sing in it the shower xD), but when I found this acoustic version I'm now just jamming my guitar to this whenever I've got a minute, such a great song.
I love this so much. This makes me so happy. I love how they changed some of the lyrics and give another meaning to this song. Issues is moving on up into my top 10 favorite bands.
So amazing friends making beautiful music they all believe in cannot get any better or ask for anymore than that.
Riddle me this, I gotta figure it out
Are they laughing at me
Because I'm prone to fear and doubt?
Am I messed up, am I loud?
Well eat my dust, that's all I am a speck out in the crowd
I'm trying to clean up the mess I made
But the towel I used to soak up my worry, it just went up in flames
You see I got a conscience like gasoline
I could siphon shit out, fuck it and leave
But, I fuel the fire with everything they say, it's stuck in my mind
You're better off dead
If you got the keys then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like we've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames
Misunderstood, I'm misunderstood
I will live to my fullest because I owned my name the best I could
How much does it hurt
To live like we live like everybody else?
Or am I better off dead?
Feeling like I'm nothing's something that I'm getting used to
Trying to devise a plan that's positively fool proof
Nobody can see me past these walls that I've been building
Now it's starting to cave in but I won't give up
If you got the keys then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like we've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames
Feeling like I'm nothing's something that I'm getting used to
Wanting to fit in, I always wanted to be perfect to you
I gotta get up out this bed
If you can see inside my head, you understand I got to give up
Feeling like I'm nothing's something that I'm getting used to
Trying to devise a plan that's positively fool proof
Nobody can see me past these walls that I've been building
Now it's starting to cave in but I won't give up
If you got the keys then start the car and
Drive as far as you can
If you got the blood then you got the heart to
Give yourself a chance
Seems like we've been so scarred
Some people call it art
I hope you make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames
I love both neck deep and issues, yet when i first heard about the release of this track, I wasn't sure if tyler's and ben's vocals would work well together. Turns out I was wrong. Both of their voices are different, but awesome.
The feels are the realest they could possibly be 😱😍😍
The love how dynamic the band is.
i have found a core memory
The way he says "riddle me this" omgg
love it more than the original. 1:45-1:50 reminds me very much of mr sheeran!
I personally think the separate genres put together sounds great! Tyler even said that he didn't want their music to only appeal to one fan base
One of the best songs I have ever heard xxx
Thats hilarious that theyre promoting sleeping with sirens at the end and they just signed to another label. Good job rise.
epitaph doesnt own their acoustic ep tho...
Lassi Salonen its still funny though.
Ben's voice from 1:44-1:49 is killing me
I love issues so much. But this. Damn. The song make's me cry tho xo
Ben is amazing omg
It's been 6 years and I'm still here...
I miss Issues so much
omg I remember when I did this for my school talent show last year and nobody and I mean NOBODY got the point of the song like how can you not, it's right their in the lyrics
but amazing song tho :)
This comment section is or will be neck deep in issues.
RandomCrew PotatoSoup (TehPotatoKing/TheRandomPotato987) he did....
I like you
Thank you, from that polite comment I'm sure that you're, at the very least, a decent person yourself. 💛 😻
That was brilliant.
You sir, are awesome
This version is so much better than the original!
GRANDIOSA CANCION , NECK DEEP VOCALIST , LE DA UN AIRE DISTINTO
The only bad part of this video is the Kellin Quinn promo at the end. Tyler and Ben were on point.
This is amazing like moving.
The acoustic one is so much better than the original. Sorry.
+D Panzone I hear you, I like it more due to the fact that i can understand the lyrics more. And i just tend to like acoustic and raw feeling music. I like both, but I like the acoustic more.
dont be
Agree
smug l m a o that's hilarious, fkin randy marsh

New favourite song EVER
There voices complement each other so good!!! Great idea getting ben to sing along!!!
I want an live acoustic room rendition of this, Ben Barlow and all.
2022 and still listening to this song
They sound really good together :)
2:46 . That piano solo. All day long.
learned it
Idk why ppl are so butt hurt saying they feel bad for Michael it's just a reimagination of there last album for ppl that don't want something heavy to listen to and can appreciate there lyrics and message they have to say.
I was waiting for this song to came up in acoustic version. I love it.
Underrated but gold
crying, I'm crying, so good! so excited for the album to come out
How did I JUST find this? Friggin' beautiful!
Oh.. My.. God... Having Ben makes this song just... So good 😭😭
They are their own band. They can do whatever the want.
I heard a clip of this at the end of a PVRIS song and wondered who it was and now I know so happy!
Seems like we've BEN so scarred!
I love this song sooooo much😊😊
Nice profile pic.I love the album 🤘🏼💯🔥🔥
DLC_ _180 Thx😄😄
Issues fits better with this sound and you know it.
