If the title hadn't said that this was a Green Day cover, I would have assumed this was an old jazz standard I hadn't heard of. The spectacular singing and arrangement make this an exquisite interpretation of the lyrics. This is truly art at its finest.

1:56 the drummers face in the few seconds as she hits that perfect emotional note - PERFECT!!!

This made me break out into tears. Her voice is so undeniably gorgeous. It's strong yet soft and gentle, it pounds in your heart like an unforgiving drum and then soothes you with its floating smoothness. It's so many things I can't even describe. It is people with talent like her who make me so damn glad to live in a world where music like this exists. Needless to say, this is definitely my favorite PMJ cover to date, with "Seven Nation Army" covered by Haley Reinhart in close second. So happy to hear a voice like this ❤️

in the past 12 hours or so I listened to all the songs in the postmodern jukebox playlist (~95). all the songs are anywhere between A+ and A+++. all but one. this one. this one is like Gödel's theory of incompleteness, way past the genius point into a different universe…

Beautiful.. Maiya is obviously SINGING FROM EXPERIENCE. She is feeling this song taking us back with her, walking. She has tapped into the true emotion of the song.. felt the depth of loneliness, with insecurity lagging behind and the distant hope, of one day, finding peace.

Maiya Sykes has made absolutely THE best cover of this song. I love you Maiya!!!!!! 😍🥰🙏💜

Wow. I'd started watching for the novelty of a different arrangement -- and soon got blown away by her. Terrific!

That would be a WOW !

I see man as he steps out of his apartment, his beard showing a three day growth. He pauses as he checks both ways, making sure the street is clear as he makes his way across, ever so present of the background noise the city can not help but release, a few cars quickly scatter by. The pavement is wet as he steps up to the curb on the other side, pauses and lights a cigarette. He adjusts his trench coat, pulls up the collar and quickly tucks his hands into the pockets as he heads toward the park. His image fades as the grey, rainy, overcast day engulfs him and he disappears into this world.

This literally hit me so hard! Like dayum hun, work them pipes!

Maiya, your vocals transfer the emotion of the song like an arrow.

I'm speechless. I don't even know where to start typing. Phenomenal.

Love how she lightly but accurately hits those high notes. Beautiful voice EDIT: watched till the very end AND MAAAAAAAAAAN THOSE MELISMAS CAN KILL A MAN SO GOOD

whoa. get this woman to come back.

this style fits for the lyrics, well done!

Actually, if you manage to take your eyes off of Maiya, look at the guy at the drums. Every time she hits a long and/or high note, he just smiles and shakes his head, not believing what he hears. He looks so sweet. :) Imagine to hear that live, that close, and be able to play this song with her.

I love this sing, always have. She sung it like it was supposed to sound. She gets it.

Her voice just melted me into a puddle of tears and emotions. Touching.

This is why I love PMJ... They can take songs like this (one of my favorites) and just give it an entirely new personality and meaning. Her interpretation of this is just so many levels of amazing.
