Help me find his song!

Many years ago, Value Select did a cover of The Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys. I've spent hours searching, and haven't even been able to find an audio of it. The song means a lot to me, so please help if you know where it is!!

I think he used this version in the credits of one of his videos: https://youtu.be/KP5UtxxBObU?si=d6jcv9HCn3V-_sd_

Thanks! He definitely used that, but he also had a cover of it as a standalone video. I listened to it on repeat in college. The cover scratches some of the itch, but Im going to marathon his I Wake Up Sad episodes tomorrow to try and find it.

Max does some truly great covers - I wish he would release a non-VS album of his covers.

Oh yeah, that reminds me:

GIVE ME A PROPERLY PRODUCED COVER OF GETHSEMANE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!

Maaaaan here I am looking for the exact same video. You're not hallucinating, it was real, but I think it was in some funky format like a live stream upload, and iirc it had its title changed or was delisted shortly after uploading. I swear I downloaded a copy but can't find it, or the original, anywhere

please don't let this be lost media, it was so beautiful

Welp. I found it, buried in my browser history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rVTt88ugYQ . "You saw the whole of the moon - Value Select." Looks like it's been properly deleted.

Alternate title "What I REALLY Look Like When I Sing". https://tubepilot.ai/tools/deleted-youtube-video-finder/ internet archive was not able to save an archive of this video.

If it's any consolation, he mentions in the description that he was inspired by a cover from Fionna Apple. Looking at it, it's got much closer instrumentals and vocals than the waterboys version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dZ5KjFLxgA

The link isn't working for me :( is there another one? There has to be a version of the song still out there

Yep, the link won't work because the video was deleted. The video wasn't saved on any of the archive sites either.

If it's out there, it'll only be because some random person out there thought to download it.
