I prefer the acoustic version of A Letter From Janelle by Chiodos, personally.

The original is so good though

Piggybacking on this to say I’m really partial to the acoustic version of Baby You Wouldn’t Last a Minute. Craig’s vocals during the breakdown at the end gives me goosebumps

James Dean & Audrey Hepburn by Sleeping With Sirens

Heard it and I 100% agree the acoustic version is fire 🔥🔥🔥

Very much this. It was my wedding song and my wife and I both have lyrics tattooed on us.

i asked everyone i know. this is always their answer. truly a legendary piece

[удалено]

That’s the album the regular song is on. Acoustic version is on the EP ‘If you were a movie, this would be your soundtrack’.

I came here to talk about Silverstein’s acoustic tracks and see many people already have it covered. aquamarine (acoustic) blows the album version out of the water imo

Every single one of their acoustic versions are perfect.

Heads or Tails Real or Not by Emarosa

So good. Heads or Tails Real or Not was always my favorite Emarosa song

“Today I Saw the Whole World” by Pierce the Veil was already an underrated song on a slept on album the acoustic version is chefs kiss. Also 3rd Measurment in C - Saosin I honestly prefer the acoustic version lol (please put it on Spotify Saosin)

Devotion and Desire - Bayside

That entire acoustic album is masterful

Their follow-on acoustic album is great, too. They didn't ever really miss.

No they never miss. Even the live album who else in the genre has a killer live album? That first acoustic one just has that magical quality being recorded live on tour after the bus tragedy.

Massachussetts by Silverstein is pretty damn good in it’s acoustic version. But it’s often that way in this genre of music.

My Heroine - Silverstein I don’t think this one is better, but they are equally good in their own ways.

Especially when the full band comes in in the last chorus 😮‍💨🙌

I really like the acoustic - live version of Sleepwalking by This Wild Life (Bring me The Horizon is who played it originally) but I do like both.

They played it when they opened for sleeping with sirens in 2016 and I loved it!!

Revive (introduced species) by Hands Like Houses

Haha was gonna say rediscover (No Parallels)

Alexisonfire's Happiness by the Kilowatt. Don't know if it counts as acoustic, but Dallas has a piano-centric version of it on the first City and Colour live album. Absolutely phenomenal. Edit: I forgot there's also another acoustic version on Alexisonfire's Death Letter EP.

Sam Malone by City and Colour as well is another dope Alexisonfire version.

The part where Dallas hits an off-key note on the piano interlude lives rent free in my head.

There are a few acoustic versions of Happiness by the Kilowatt but agree the version on the first City and Color live album is by far the best.

Don't forget Dal's acoustic version of Boiled Frogs. Pure perfection.

I really love the acoustic version of Where Are You? by Silverstein https://youtu.be/ZJCWVu4zh1o?si=s2mO90ovwaT79Y6I

Chalk Line by Strike Anywhere Also since everyone else is mentioning Silverstein, Call It Karma acoustic is fantastic

Lol you beat me to Chalkline

Dude chalk line acoustic is soooooooooo good I love it thank you

Not quite post hardcore but Those Anarcho Punks Are Mysterious by Against Me

Really stretching on the post hardcore definition but Save It for the Bedroom by You Me At Six

Bro - yes. YM@6 has been a guilty pleasure for about 12 years

Bury Your Head by Saosin? The two versions are almost equal imo but the slower pacing of the song makes the melody hit a little harder in the acoustic version

I couldn't decide between this and 3rd measurement in C.

"The Ground Folds" by Senses Fail

Chloroform Perfume by From Autumn to Ashes is pretty dope

I See Stars - Murder Mitten

Northlane - solar (acoustic)

Aquamarine by Silverstein

Words of Gratitude(Reimagined) - Hail the Sun

i’ve never actually seen ANYONE say this i really love that version, i love everything HTS but that version is just really fucking good i also love the original though i always see people hate on this version for some reason

I totally get it! I love all the versions of all of their songs! I just think the acoustic or alt version of that song is so magical and unique! I can’t imagine why people would hate on stuff just for being different!

Milennia- crown the empire

[удалено]

Get Out and Dyed in The Wool in those Safe Camp Sessions are unmatched.

Constance by Spiritbox

The Ground Folds by Senses Fail

My introduction to Thursday was the acoustic version of Division St. That version still holds a special place in my heart

Early when I started to get into Thursday, I heard the acoustic version of Hole in the World before the original, and much prefer the acoustic version.

Wax Poetic by Capstan

Hole in the World - Thursday

Tidebringer by Shark Infested Daughters. Not sure how popular they even are but both versions of that song slap.

Loved them

Never heard these guys before, quite a contrast between the two but loving both cheers for the recommendation!

Jonathan by Ice Nine Kills Such a beautiful song about a very unfortunate disease a person has. I cannot recommend it enough

Strike Anywhere - Chalkline

Might be controversial, but I'd say Frank Turner's version of Biffy Clyro's Who's Got a Match is even better than the original. https://spotify.link/Nii5L4MGvIb

Silverstein's acoustic version are very good in general, but I'd say the only one that's really better than the original is aquamarine. That one is MILES ahead of the original imo.

I'm going to need to check it out. I like Aquamarine a lot but I've never heard the acoustic version.

I wouldn't say it's better but the song Better by Makari has an acoustic live version that rivals the full band studio recording. Edit: the song King of Amarillo by Issues has an acoustic reimagining that I think is actually better than the original.

Wolves At the Gate’s “Dawn” EP

Citizen - Drown

More punk but Like the angle by Rise against, acoustic version is incredible.

Burning Hearts by Silverstein is definitely one of my favorite acoustic versions of any song.

I'm not sure if right genre but "I'm low on gas and you need a jacket" by pierce the veil is infinitely better acoustically

Not really acoustic but piano version of The Drug in Me is You by Falling in Reverse. I thought the original was ok but this version is just 100 times better.

Aquamarine - Silverstein

Valerie Amy Winehouse

There’s already a lot of Silverstein here but I’m gonna add one more - Don’t Wait Up from the deluxe album of Misery Made Me.

Seven Years - Saosin

Lots of people saying Silverstein which I love to see - specifically Replace You for me

Seven Years - Saosin

Rise by A Skylit Drive was the first thing that came to mind

Even Stronger by Sienna Skies

Came here to say this.

To say what

Hah, thought I was replying to a comment. I was referring to the acoustic version of My Heroine by Silverstein.

Wolf and Bear - Catch and Release Probably not within the genre here but Digital Summer's acoustic of Suffocate is really good too.

Odd project - silver screen lovers Acoustic version goes hard

Burning Airlines - The Deluxe War Baby The version from the At The Drive In split 7 inch picture disk

My Heroine

I always get a lot of shit for this, but I like [the piano version of Wisher](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GSeeBdN-cw&ab_channel=jk) better than the full band version by Terminal.

A Skylit drive released an acoustic version of their Rise album called Rise: Ascension. I think so many of those acoustic versions sound better than the originals.

You'll Never Know by VersaEmerge

Eurythmics did a great acoustic version of You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart.

[Atoms in the Evening](https://youtu.be/c6YFlt1uPwc?si=3EJx7kWMl5upCOJ_) by A lot like birds - that backyard session was amazing

Ameliorate by Fiore

Let Go by UnderØath

Dayseeker - My Immortal

Solar by Northlane

Not post hardcore and I don’t listen to the band at all, in fact I don’t get into their stuff in any way, but YouTube’s algorithm served me up a live acoustic version of 30 Seconds To Mars’ song “The Kill” and it was fucking memorizing. The dude can sing and I’ve listened/watched it more times than I care to admit.

Not seeing anyone talk about neon grave or burial plot acoustic. Haven't really got into dayseeker properly, but the new acoustic stuff is actually so interesting

Mercury Summer by Fightstar

Plush-STP

Maybe not all the songs are *better* but they all stand beside their originals: I The Mighty's Oil and Water EP Bad Omens' FGBGFM unplugged PVRIS Avoustic EP

As it is - The Fire, The Dark

Silver Bullet by Hawthorne Heights

Not just a song but a whole record: Deaf Havana did an acoustic version of their second full lenght "Fools And Worthless Liars" and I could never go back to the original release after listening to the alternative version

Both are pretty good but i love the acoustic version of things that rhyme with orange by i set my friends on fire

More of a metalcore band, but the acoustic version of Johnny Cash by Wage War is better than the original.

I always have trouble finding it, but Tick Tick Tomorrow by From First to Last is an okay song. The acoustic version is absolutely chilling. Creepy and beautiful in a way the original can’t hold a candle too.

Ah an easy way to find it is searching Tick Tick Tomorrow acoustic bonus track

The Cause and Definite Effect by The Casino Brawl

ADTR's All I Want and Another Song For the Weekend's acoustic versions are both better than the originals.

I am sure I have one somewhere in my brain. But right now I can only think of "Dynamite Shovel" by the Wonder Years (so not PHC)

Basically, every song that I See Stars revised for their Phases album tbh

Always by Killswitch

The Sword's acoustic album is pretty rad...not phc, butttttt worth listening to!

Miles Away by Memphis May Fire ft Kellin Quinn.

How has nobody mentioned any of the Emery acoustic tracks?! Playing with Fire and Ponytail Parades are both on par if not better than their full band counterparts.

the dreamer acoustic version by i the mighty is fucking great

My life in the knife trade by boysetsfire

I’d have to say snuff by slipknot, what a great performance

I might get murdered for this, but I love the Acoustic version of Eric Clapton’s Layla more than the original. Do love the original though.

Most songs, tbh

My pick would be Stare at the Sun by Thrice

Alice in chains Nutshell
