You know you're a veteran of the industry and a musical genius if you've covered a song twice, in different genres, AND...Both are genuinely great in their own way.

If Two Steps From Hell and Jonathan Young collabed on a song. This is an amazing cover/rendition

Massive drums? Check. Risers? Check. Horns? Check. Random string instrument? Check. Beautiful vocal grit? Check. This cover really does have it all.

I never get tired of Jonathan Young covering the same song twice in two different style.

To be fair, The Final Countdown was already epic. Now it is just more epicer

I swear, Jonathan is the lord of cover songs for at least a decade now

I love how you have diversified the type of your covers in recent years, you haven't stayed in only rock/metal covers like back then. It's always nice to see new things.

I remember having to play this song in high school for pep band all the time. Every game we performed at, this song was always in the lineup. I got sick of it after a while, but if we had THIS version to play back then it would've been my favorite song we ever had. You really channeled your inner Hans Zimmer with this one, Jonathan! Straight into my epic playlist she goes. ❤ 🔥🔥🔥

Props to everyone who voted in the poll that ended up being an almost exactly 50/50 split for metal/bard.

*Everyone:* I don't think it's possible to make this 80's song sound even more epic. *Jonathan Young:* Hold my beer.

Ok, how more epic can it be? ...I stand corrected.

I don’t understand why aren’t known and recognized worldwide… you have an amazing talent.

I can't decide if I like his covers or his originals more. But whenever something comes out on this channel it brings me great joy!

At this point, I don't even need to wonder if a Jonathan Young cover is going to be good or not. It just is. Every. Time.

I remember when i was younger and watched the finals of a soccer game at a stadium, and as they walked down the field a epic version of the final countdown played, and the chills I had were unexplainable.

*clicks play* *is immediately blasted by awesomeness*

This is a song that evokes good memories from my childhood, it's always been to my mind and memory, a perfect song. And you've made it better. Appreciate you man.

I feel like I'm listening to a League Of Legends advert..but one of the good ones! Jonathan never fails to deliver!!

Your face after 10 seconds of singing.. damn.. that is what I call going all in! Holy mother of *insert deity of choice*... Epic indeed! Love the slower tempo, it really adds to the impact. Beautiful.. Well done 🤘

WOW!! 🔥 This sounds like it should be closing out an epic movie of some sort. I love it! ❤

This song is epic it really needs to be featured in more movies.

god, that voice gives me goosebumps each song you've done, love this version

Why do I feel like I'm in the final battle scene? Fantastic work as always, Jonathan!

🤘💀🤘 Love it! Amazing work as always! Addin this to the spotify real quick!

Awesome stuff :D Always loved this song, great to hear it again again!

Three in a Row with Jonathan makin' this song an absolute BANGER!! Epic On, Jon!! 🔥🔥

You're EPIC! 🔥🔥🔥

This was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this!

OMG!! That was so amazing!! Europe is my all time fav band! They’re still rocking and selling out concerts in Europe.

Wow so cool!! I'm with the brass nand in the musical school play this song nowadays and i'm so glad to see your epic cover right now! You're fantastic as always. Thank you!

I love this version.The Final Countdown is one of my favourite songs since I was 7 years old.And this version is horribly perfect.Thanks,Jonathan for this epic masterpiece.

This is AMAZING so happy you did this cover, absolutely EPIC.

Powerful !! Great Job, great voice, so many goosebumps ! i feel energy flowing through my body !!!

I saw Europe live in Göteborg last year and they still rock 🤘Incredible concert and this cover is AMAZING 😍😍😍

And this is truly epic, another great song for my playlist. Thanks Jonathan.

I think we can all agree that we clicked on the vid thinking "how much more epic can it get?" And got humbled pretty hard

Whenever I listen to a catchy song... I search for the rock/metal version of it and most of such covers I've found in your artillery 🤘always loved your work and looking forward for more....You are absolutely Phenomenal ...🔥🔥🔥

Straight fire. 🔥🔥🔥 Song Request: Starset - Waiting on the Sky to Change, and/or Demons.

This is fabulous Jonathan! Thank you!

For one minute I thought we had lost Jonathan's soul, but no, it came back to him right in time for the countdown. Awesome cover as usual!

Absolutely fire, I love the progression of your voice throughout the years- keep it up man and I absolutely jammed to this. i’d say you embodied “epic” with this cover. 🔥🔥🔥

One of my favourite memories of my family before it got complicated is this song playing in the car. We had a silly game we played called "The Pants Game" where you replaced one word of a famous film or book etc with the word "pants" (underwear to yall Americans) and its incredibly funny to a small child. So things like "Pants Wars: The Pants Strike Back" or "Lord of the Pants" My youngest sibling, maybe 4-6 at this time, had been quietly listening and we assumed not interrested in playing anymore. But then this song came on. and with some intense headbanging, out came "IT'S THE FINAL PANTS DOWN!" My stepfather nearly crashed the car laughing.

Sounds like music for the final boss leval in a game! Great job Jon ♥

Fricking amazing! That's going on my playlist!

Dude chills so epic it pierced my suit... Loved all of your precedent releases, but this one is... special :) (in the best way possible) 🤘🤘🤘

Please don't get me wrong, I really love your cover songs and enjoy listening to them again and again. This is also a great cover but I just love your original songs even more. So if you ask "What should I sing next?", my answer would be: I would like to hear more original songs.

Keep up the awesome work! Loved this.

This has long been one of my favorite songs, and this cover is top shelf!

I don't know about what to sing next - but as much as I pre-saved this for Spotify I totally want just the instrumental version of this cause that alone is just awesome.

damn jhonathan this is amazing!!! your original songs and covers are amazing

I still remember that when someone asked in the video for the Eye of the Tiger when you would do this cover and you said that you were not powerful enough, well it seems it is finally here (I'm talking about your solo version unless I missed it). Absolute an amazing cover man!!!!!

YES! I was waiting for that high note. Bravo!

great as always jon, love your music

I've never seen such an accurate video title EVER. Jonathan keeps rasing the freaking bar!!! This is so powerful, emotional and inspirational. I need to go to the gym or something because DAYUM I AM HYPE 🗣🗣🗣

Frickin blown away everytime. I feel like I could ride into full battle after hearing this. I'm pumped! Let's heckin goooo!!!! 🤘🤘

Thanks for that!you are so gifted!

This is definitely a reborn masterpiece. I applaud you sir for your ability to bring so much passion into this song

Amazing as always!

Dramatic final boss moments engage! Awesome song!

i LOVE how you every time go beyond and beyond. :)

damn Jonathan! great display of vocals and music composition

Dang Jonothan don't hurt yourself on those epic vocals haha. Keep it up with the awesome music!

I got chills. thanks

I always love "epic" covers of songs and this is no different. Something that just gets you hyped, like a movie trailer or epic moment in a movie. I'd love to see you do some more Sonic songs sometime as well, keep up the great work!

Awesome as always

Love the music you produce keep it up

I got goosebumps. How epic.

One of the greatest voices out there ❤️

This is like Pirate of the Caribbean and the Final Countdown got together and produced this EPIC spine chilling song

WOW 😳 so dark and hell yes 🤘🔥🖤🔥🤘 I like IT 🤘

This version of the song has a greater intensity to it than the original song by Europe in the 1980s. Most impressive.

somehow this reaches unexplored depths of my soul when I listen to it, love it
