    I am going to be honest on this one. "Iris" is my favorite song of all time and I think the lyrical content demands an emotional connection that I think this cover didn't quite capture. Having said that, Audra keeps getting better as a vocalist and I respect this band's ability to take risks that could lead to a comment like this one.

      I have the same thoughts as you...
      Sometimes in some of their songs, there was no emotional connection between the song, and the singer.
      But overal F211 is always Great...

  • @sebastiancooper7792
    @sebastiancooper7792 Před 2 lety +17

    I think this arrangement kind of transforms the song from one about an angel who gave up heaven for love, into one that sounds like 2 teenagers falling in love: and I love it as much as ever!
    What’s more, to pull off such an ambitiously different arrangement, where you essentially have 2 conflicting time signatures that also fit perfectly with each other, is incredibly impressive!!

  • @Macktheknife247

    THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING. I originally clicked thinking I would hear you do a note-by-note cover. I was initially disappointed, but then immediately overjoyed. This is the way to go. Show you doing what you do and let the covers be a starting point. That CZcams money is good, but you have a next step if you want it.

    I never thought I would hear "Iris," one of THE major anthems of the late 90s and early 2000s, sound new to me ever again. Goo Goo Dolls was right next to Third Eye Blind as my favorite bands in my high school days, and I grew up near their home town. I love that this isn't just a cover; it's a retelling. I couldn't wait to hear Matthew's version of the guitar solo and I was not disappointed. New riffs at 2:00, then performing the original after was amazing . Thanks so much for this.
    I'd love to hear some Incubus from you guys. "Pardon Me" or "Warning" comes to mind.

  • @ButterflyDivide
    @ButterflyDivide Před 2 lety +317

    I think acoustic fits this better since the beat feels off with the singing, but her voice is so pretty :).
    Edit:
    For clarification: I’m not hating. I enjoyed the rendition, but this is definitely not the best cover out there. Their risk was interesting and bold, but I think they could’ve tried something more fitting? It’s a challenging song and Audra still is an amazing vocalist, the guitar solo was beautiful, and they looked like they were having fun. I’m happy they did it, but I still think there’s something they could’ve done to fit the song better. That’s all :).

      It's a pretty interesting interpretation especially because they're doing a rock version, when the original is acoustic. I saw goo goo dolls and Train in concert two years ago, and I know all their songs by heart, but I appreciate a new "spice up" to a very popular and overplayed song.

    There are a million Iris covers out there already that sound exactly like the original. I have no idea why so many people were clamoring for F211 to throw yet another one on the pile. I like that they had the confidence to take liberties and turn up the rock energy, and I hope they don’t become risk-averse just because some people insist on adherence to formula.

    • @SirWolf2018
      @SirWolf2018 Před 2 lety +3

      There may be a million covers, but there's also wide range of genre differences between them from acoustic to metal, so you can't complain, and then F211 comes up with this disharmonizing composition where the drums are like playing a different song. In my opinion, of course. It just feels wrong.

    • @CodyKatastrophic
      @CodyKatastrophic Před 2 lety

      I know what you mean as far as the formula goes. but thats not even my complaint.

I love the way y'all ensure the sound itself has depth in ways I like to hear most, and I *love* your voice Audra(had to look it up to make a proper distinction between the lead and the band as a whole)
