This ain’t Post Malone, this is Pre Malone

Seems like a sweet kid. Wonder what he's up to now...

Absolute timeless cover. Still go back a few times every year when I randomly remember it exists

I'm 74, this is one of my favorite songs and this is one of the best versions ever. Just beautiful

Imagine if he ended up as a folk/indie singer

This must be what he does when he's home Malone.

17 years old when he recorded this. the depth of feeling is astonishing.

This song, and more specifically this performance inspired me to start teaching myself how to play guitar at the age of 22. I’m happy to say two years later, I can play and sing this song, and although it’s not half as good as post here it still feels pretty dang good to accomplish something.

He's pretty good hope he makes it big someday.

Austin Post is Miley and Post Malone is Hannah Montana

I never realized how well written the lyrics were until this cover. Everything about this interpretation was perfect. The simple picking, the vibrato, the expression in his voice... I could listen to an entire live album on repeat. What a gem.

Truly a musician,no matter what he does. Every single song he does,you know there is his heart in it. Just seems like such a nice human.

I’d do ANYTHING for an acoustic album from Posty.

I want so badly for Austin to drop an acoustic album.

9 years later, I still come back to rewatch this. It's just so beautifully covered.

My 3 year old grandson introduced me to Mr Post Malone. He sang Chemical and wanted me to join him. So I effing did! Mind you, I’m 60 damn 3 years old!! My boy flat out says..I don’t say the eff word. I don’t say the bad words!!..I love him so much. But being introduced to Mr Post Malone was..I will say, a very positive experience!! I’m so looking forward to his new album. I’ve forwarded the new releases to my daughter, to show my boy. Overdrive is a hit..via my grandson. Well, grandma agrees. Hey..we love Post Malone!!

Think of how much life can change in just 5 years

Saucin' on Bob Dylan. Love it

If you're just arriving here, please be advised that we have multiple "Pre Malone" jokes already and we're at capacity. Thank you for your understanding.

i watch this whenever i’m in a bad mental state and it always makes me feel better ❤️

guess this could be called Pre Malone

Holy shit Post Malone could've been a completely different kind of singer.

Hands down. The best Dylan cover I have ever heard. Thanks.

and I have just came back to this after the NPR Tiny Desk Concert. it's so good

Did a little digging, found this comment from 4 years ago. "Malone, I dont know if you know this but you're the future of the music industry. Your ability to play multiple genres of music will take you to the top. Stay humble and stay true my man." - Kirk Dolar, 1.5k likes. U were f*in right kirk (Edit: wow record likes, thanks ya cheese grating skank tanks)

So this surprised the fuck out of me and now I'm a Post Malone fan forever

i always come back to this video there is something about it that hugs my soul and makes me so eternally cozy

I'm in a dark place atm and this song is keeping me alive

Anyone else got this in their recommended 6 years later??

Mad respect to Post for being genuinely really fucking talented

This ? This is who he is deep down. Just beautiful ❤ my friend Lisa passed away a few days ago. Two children and grandchildren. Our last conversation involved a joke about post malone. God rest her soul ❤️💌🎯

As a massive Bob Dylan fan I am gobsmacked how good a cover this is. Bravo. ❤

I really wish he made these kind of songs too, he’s just incredible

We did it boys, weve uncovered the identity of pre malone

Just wow , was just looking for covers and here you are 10 years ago playing this lovely song

This is so sweet and sad and pure. It’s how someone feels. It’s how I feel tonight. Thanks Posty.

Posty is the definition of “don’t judge a book by its cover”

Pre Malone is very talented

This gentleman is so talented and so kind watch any interview he always says sir

I’ve watched this video hundreds of times over the years. He’s come so far 👏🏼❤️

y’all sleeping on this “austin” kid he’s up next fr🔥🔥

All jokes aside. Post malone should write a full acoustic album. He's amazing

Come back here every couple of months / years and just remembered this I truly do love your voice posty ❤️

Dylan is the master writer. Great cover.

I love his music he’s making now, but damn do I wish we had more of this

Now we just need malone to put out a folk album ...

Every now and then I come back to listen to this song. It's been that way for years. It helped a lot

I dont think I’ll ever get over this cover. It lives rent free in my head💗🫶🏼

I love rap posty.. but this is what gives me chills.

wish he had an album like this

I hope he goes back and does a few tracks like this, his voice and country is so well suited

Love this rendition!

Damn I could really use more Post Malone acoustics in my life. Dudes maaad talented

Post Malone knows no genre. He just knows damn good music and pure talent

My god .. I'm a Bob Dylan big fan and years ago I found out this guy Post. I hit his songs everytime and helped me going through some bad times. Now I discover this piece of art. Thanks music. Thanks Post and Bob.

I listened to this piece after looking for a cover of this song. It is tricky, it looks easy, but it can get boring without the right soul. It is really a song that measure your musical sensibility, to me. I found this and I was amazed. I thought, finally one person who can make this right. Only then I discovered it was Post Malone, and it suddenly became so clear why he got the success he had.

People don't realise how fucking talented Postie is.

If this is Pre Malone, and we know Post Malone, who the hell is Malone

I always come back to this clip and think how you’re one of the most deserving people of this generation to get the success that you have. The talent is endless.

He'd be number one with a country or folk album. I'd buy. 💜

Got this in my reccomedations I ain't mad in the slightest

The description says: excuse my hair Man we love you Austin

Just saw him live, what an experience! Next time I won't think twice going to his show!

This man can literally sing any song, any genre, and it's amazing.

This guy should do a feature with Post Malone.

I'd pay money for a full length Bob Dylan - Post cover album. That would make my year.

Love the homage to Bob Dylan and Minnesota 💜 Thank you Austin Post

So glad seeing him move towards this kind of music.

Very good, he'll make it big someday

I wonder if he still sings this type of music when he's chillin

Very naturally talented with this kind of music… hope to hear much more…

i can't stop listening to this song once in a while. it just calms me down and make myself better. Just live life man, don't think twice it's alright

Malone, I don't know if you know this but you're the future of the music industry. you're ability to play multiple genres of music will take you to the top. Stay humble and stay true my man

2014: sings Bob Dylan 2018: rides a tank in the middle of the dessert

Wow this guy should be a singer!

Hope he returns to these roots at some point...his singing and strumming both sound so natural and lovely, he obviously had/has talent and a love for music. Wish he would drop the autotune and stage persona and just be himself.

I know I'm not the only one who just got this recommended to them.

"Hey this guy kinda looks like Post Malone" ... "Hey wait a second"

Man was born out of country blues and rock yet hip-hop/rb soul made him famous. Best of both worlds

One of the best covers of a Bob Dylan song I've ever heard

Serious respect for any artist that can do a solid Dylan cover.

Everyone here talkin about how he looks. Just leave emalone.

This is my favorite Bob Dylan song and I think this is the best cover of it I ever heard.

words cant explain how much an acoustic album like this from post would calm my soul

PLEASE don't ever remove this Austin.

This guy Austin is pretty cool. He should write some music.

He is one of the best artists of this generation, he is killing the pop genre and could very easily kill the rock/blues genre too if he wanted to.

Got to know about posty from jimmy fallon's show which came into the yt feed , NOW I CAN'T GET OVER HIS ALBUMS...Austin richard post a true divotee of music ..Love from India ❣

This guy should colab with Post Malone, they’d make a fire song.

Idk how people can think this dude is corny. True to himself and genuinely talented. Looking forward to what the future brings for Post

i use to listen to this in highschool and it'll always remind me of that time, it gives me goosebumps and i'll forever love this cover.

One of the best covers ever what a legend

post malone could have been yeehaw malone. edit: folk malone.. (bob dylan has also written and sold country music)

Folk Malone???????

Showcases his talent much better here than on radio songs

And eight years later 4 albums later look how incredible he is humble extremely passionate compassionate and down to earth Austin Richard is now a new Post Malone and about to be a father congratulations I’m so happy went forward I wish you would I add this song to your album it’s incredible

I already had respect for Post Malone. But yeah..... this is great to see

I feel like this guy would thrive as a rap artist

There are very few songs that bring up this much emotion in me. it brings me right back to 2019 when I first heard this song on a comedown from a powerful acid trip that showed me what opiate addiction was doing to me, I was 2 weeks out from moving across the world to work but mostly to get clean, this song really represents how I feel towards where I grew up.

Listened to this many times before I noticed he said, don't think twice, three times. Brilliant writing by Dylan and love the tempo by Post
