Anberlin *new* - Retrace (cover)

[r0kstar05]

This was just stunning! I was searching for a cover or a video that I could follow for chords so I could learn to play it myself, but I became entirely captivated by your voice instead. Keep playing!!!

[hyeahrocker]

Your voice is beautiful. I really love your take on this song. Amazing job. Consider me subscribed from now on!

[1selenaGonzalez]

I really like your voice, it kinda has a country feel, and it sounds cool with anberlin, Anberlin has been my favorite band since i was 8, and i've seen them in concert 5 times, and met them 6 times, i think stephen Christian would be proud of this cover :)

[mrazda69]

[kg41390]

[dmay2007]

My guitar has been sitting in the corner for quite a while, but watching your videos has greatly inspired me to "dust it off" and start playing and singing again!!

id have to say that this was the BEST cover for retrace ive seen so far, you think you could give me the chords/tabs you used for it?

[christianalovesmark]

I have to say shamefully so that I agree with famezo12FUHQ. Glorious indeed. Do you karaoke on myspace? Someone important with the right pull will see this. Here or anywhere. PRAY to God and it will happen. Thank you for "quick cover".  I'd like to see what you can do when it's with effort!

[famezo12FUHQ]

HOLY SHIZZZ YOU ARE AMAZING...I regretfully say I'm sorry I just didn't expect that glorious angel of a voice

[aaleman1]

check out the other comments. someone posted them.

[KarlaMarie52752]

I'm so jealous of your voice

[raniac]

Does anyone have the tabs for this song?

[aaleman1]

look around in the comments. someone posted the chords so i don't have to. haha.

[sundriedt0mat0]

im really jealous.

[aedve123]

[Jujuzynhafighter]

nice voice great!

[aritolara90]

i love it

[marloprada]

Very Nice Vocals.

[jleeX3]

this sounds really good. guitar is nothing too surprising, but your voice sets it off for suuuure. the chorus' and bridges sound fantastic. hitting those high notes for your voice perfectly

[aaleman1]

thanks!

[burnlessvids]

FUCK U!!!!!! YOU´REEEEEE SOOOOOOOO MUCH GOOD!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR VOICEEE. OMG *.*

[HeavyT67]

Very well done.

[aaleman1]

hey. i got the tab from my ear. someone posted the chords in the comment if you want to check them out. and i agree, this is a great song.

[iamnotalaskan]

i love this song.

[aaleman1]

thanks! i love it too. hated it at first though. i'm not sure why. but it's great.

[TobiSkye]

Wow, you have a really nice voice. And good song choice, I love Anberlin, they're my favorite band!

[aaleman1]

They're probably one of my favorite bands. Have been for a long time now.

This has definitely turned into one of my favorite songs, perhaps my favorite, from New Surrender, so thanks for checking it out!

[jungmiyah]

you hear this all the time...but amazing cover! you have a great voice =] i've actually been trying to cover this song myself but as a beginning guitarist i've been having some trouble =/

[aaleman1]

just keep working on it. the guitar part is pretty easy, it's some of the vocals that can be hard. but yeah, thanks for listening!

[aaleman1]

thanks! what is the significance of the screen name "Anberlinlive"?

[Anberlinlive]

Hi, I don't normally comment, but on this one I had to! Absolutely fantastic vocals, one of the best Anberlin covers on youtube! Keep them coming!!

[bazookaa89]

your voice is so great... cheers!

[maximelebo]

Dude i love anberlin thats my favorite song anf you totally rock it your way keep singing dont give up hope seeing your face soon on a cd

[aaleman1]

hey i hope so. god knows i have enough material written for two cds.

anyway, thanks for commenting and listening and all that. i appreciate it.

[crewton186]

wow. just wow, I love this song, and your acoustic playing and vocals are amazing, never stop, keep going, when you start hitting those high notes in the chorus, wow.

[aaleman1]

haha. stephen goes so high sometimes i have to go into the falsetto cuz i dont' want to strain my voice. but thanks!

[crewton186]

lol yeah, Their lead singer goes super high, but he's got an amazing voice so it sounds awesome, and not whiney or annoying like some bands when their singer has to get kicked in the groin to achieve the high octave haha.

[mikehawk77]

awesome

[hobohobanna]

you are incredible.

NO MATTER WHAT please never stop singing, never stop playing, and never stop dreaming.

this video was a BLESSING to me.

P.S. they are my favorite band and this is my fav song from the album lol GO ANBERLIN!

God Bless <3

[aaleman1]

those are some really kind words. i appreciate it.

they're one of my favorite bands too.

[littlexpunkxchik]

You're freaking amazing. I'm an aspiring musician and vocalist. I hope I'm as good as you one day =)

Keep up the fantastic work

[aaleman1]

thanks for checking it out. i'm glad you liked it. keep working at music. it's worth it.

[cfhoward07]

Wow you have a beautiful voice!!! You really did a great job with this song!!

[aaleman1]

thanks. glad to know i did the song justice.

[aaleman1]

[Amarda01]

[aaleman1]

[volc0m15]

[aaleman1]

[hurleyforever1234]

never mind i was reading comment hopeing someone did have the chords for it and they did so its all good.. thnx for the person who ever put it up

[hurleyforever1234]

this is awsome! do u think u can send me tabs or chords for this song? that would be great.. thnx!

cheers

[pizzepper]

i will not lie, i was waiting for you to destroy the song, and you totally destroyed my hypothesis. Great job.

[aaleman1]

haha thanks. it's ok. i know. you tube covers are usually such an effing let down.

[seph18zzz]

great cover. would like to hear you cover the haunting

[aaleman1]

absolutely. i love love love that song.

[koolestreject]

this is alot better than i thought it was going to be. great job!! =D

[jrmycamprox]

Amazing cover. Quite honestly you sing it better live than Steven does.

[gutzs]

She's good, but thats stretching it...like HONESTLY what are you thinking

[aaleman1]

haha. it's ok. i was kinda like "really?" too. i haven't seen anberlin live so i can't comment on stephen's live voice, but on the cds he's great. i have watched some live videos and sometimes he doesn''t sound all that great, but of course we're all human. i also think that the notes may be a little high for him sometimes, and that's difficult to recreate live. but, yeah. stephen is great.

[aaleman1]

haha. thanks. i don't know if i want to say that about stephen, cuz i think he does have a good voice, and since i haven't been able to see them live i can't comment on that, but thanks though.

[supercow370]

wow... that was amazing

still not as good as original =]

buttt dammmn close

[sumaland1]

I love this song, and you did an incredible job.

did you figure out the chords by ear?

[aaleman1]

Sure did. Someone else posted the chords in the comments below though, if you're interested.

[traceyyle]

your voice is haunting, in the best possible way

[aaleman1]

thanks! :) i like that you used the word "haunting" since it makes me think of the anberlin song.

[Dman761]

That was absolutely perfect

i love this song

[miiindy]

you are famous alana COME TO ITHHHH

[aaleman1]

haha. you're such an ass. i'll only come to ith if carm comes to the show.

[pvjr35]

freakin' fantastic. keep it up kiddo. beautiful voice

[aaleman1]

thanks!

[WinterClaws]

Your voice is absolutely amazing.

[aaleman1]

thanks, you should check out some of my other stuff too, or my myspace!

[sean1256]

Wow.. usually i rip on people doing acoustic covers, but this is very good. keep it up.

[aaleman1]

hey. i appreciate it. i know how that is...a lot of the covers here on you tube really really blow, so thanks.

[blinkaa]

come on, it's only a cover. som many people posted the hole album on youtube. this is so hypocritical. i was so fucking curious about the CD and when i knew that the album was on internet i downloaded it with no regrets. this makes me less fan? NO! i'll buy the CD ANYWAY!

so stop being such an idiot. i know you people downloaded it too.

buy the way.. this cover is amazing and "retrace" is my favorite song.

sorry about the english. i'm brazilian.

[aaleman1]

yeah. agreed. i didn't feel bad about doing it either, because you know what? guess who has the cd? me. yeah. people need to lighten up a bit.

[pelossus]

wow incredible vocals mate ! excellent work. this song is amazing too. great :]

[jc4you]

People need to stop freaking out and acting like theyve never downloaded music before. like you said you couldve just posted the whole album. your just covering a song.... i think Anberlin would love you haha. awesome job!

[aaleman1]

haha. i don't know if anberlin loves me. they did post before asking how i got the song before it was released. but seriously, come on, they had to know that like thousands had the leaked copy. anyway, maybe i hope they would love me. haha. thanks.

[Bt2BreakSkn]

Great job!

Love the vocals!

[Reia11th]

Hi aaleman1,great voice and guitar,Retrace sounds better on acoustic! The original song sounds too techno at the opening. Anyway still a nice song. ^^ Below are the chords i guess for guitar lover,hope you don't mind: Verse C#m7 - Bsus4 - G#m - A(Aadd9) Pre-Chorus F#m - A(Aadd9) Chorus E - Bsus4 - C#m7 - A(Asus2)~Bsus4~A(Asus2) Bridge C#m7 - A(Asus2) - Bsus4

[Reia11th]

Chords:

Bsus4 - x24400

G#m - 466444

A(Aadd9) - 577600

F#m - 244222

E - 022100

A(Asus2) - x02200

[aaleman1]

nice job. thanks for doing that. ha. i'm a grad student and between writing my own music and doing school work (and drinking!) haha i run out of town. so thanks. that's very correct.

[NewLineBrent]

You have BIG balls posting this before the record is released. Very disrespectful to the band. I KNOW it was leaked. But to cover it and post it online where people don't even have to search download sites. Not to mention this could alter people's perception who HAVEN't heard it yet. to the "fans" who like the record, buy it, please. it pays the band, it's honest, AND sales numbers DO play a vital role in music business. I'm disappointed.

[nicolerork]

agreed. you could have waited to post this video?

[aaleman1]

Perhaps I could have. Or like I said before, perhaps I could have posted the original version of not only this but all the songs off New Surrender. But instead I have at least a little common decency.

[aaleman1]

Oh no. Someone's telling me I'm not a true fan. I won't be able to sleep tonight!

You got a problem with it, don't watch. I could have posted the actual song like other jackasses have done.

[xe1881]

since even anberlin POSTED their own lyrics to the album, i guess i have no real problem with you posting this..

With that said, your voice is amazing and why don't you have a record contract YET?! you have a alanis/sarah mclachlan/ unique voice. 5 stars!

[aaleman1]

thank you for not jumping down my throat about the song. i actually didn't even know they posted the lyrics. where did they put them, on their myspace? people need to relax and not assume my intent is malicious in posting my COVER of the song.

with that said, i really appreciate your words, i mean that. thanks for checking it out.

[osmaispresentes]

this album is avaiable to download a few months ago and i DOUBT that who says "BLA BLA BLA YOU'RE NOT A TRUE FAN. YOU DOWNLOADED IT" didn't have downloaded yet.

[aaleman1]

thank you! i agree 100%. a lot of people are completely hypocritical.

[vitaminx101]

wow... when i clicked this vid i thought it was ganna be garbage... its frecking amazing

[aaleman1]

thanks. i know...most shit on youtube is pretty bad, so hopefully i did them a little justice.

[krolvirtuous]

Lindoo demais! xD

[annamarkedyourheart]

my god, this is so beautiful.

you have a great talent.

[aaleman1]

thankssss. if you liked this check out my myspace page too if you want (not to be too obnoxious about promoting myself).

[kmilongo]

great cover, such a nice voice!

5 stars!

[kingofhearts24]

this is freaking amazing

I favorited it

and yes , I got the album early too

*shrugs*

whatcha gonna do?

[aaleman1]

right. you got the album early like me and THOUSANDS of other people, but i'm sure like me, you are still going to buy it the day it comes out.

[ukhardcore]

i think this is amazing and i love your voice! only you know whether or not you're a "true fan" [whatever the heck one of those is...] and i'd put money on it that you are indeed =]

i picked up the album from the torrent sites, as i do with the occasional pre-release, but i will definitely be buying their album when they tour here in november. so yeah. bite me naysayers!

[jtalep]

Same, I already have the album but I've just bought all 4 of the different pre-orders for the actual album and have the USB wristband, and I'm going to see them on 3 out the 4 times they're headlining in the U.K, so are people gonna say I'm not a true fan? I don't think so.

[ahaupt10]

This is disappointing. If you were a true fan of anberlin you would have wait until SEPTEMBER 30TH to BUY NEW SURRENDER!!!

[aaleman1]

Eh. Then I guess Anberlin has very few true fans then, considering the thousands of people who already have this. Oh well, I guess buying their merch and owning all of their albums doesn't make me a *true* fan. I'm fine with that.

[Garotenhah]

FANTASTIC

[ADNANENGIVAL]

congratulations =]

[cmwhykay]

regardless of where the song came from ... very nice voice.

[kelvinmorcillo]

nice casino royale poster btw LOL

[aaleman1]

hey thanks. that was an awesome movie, and mostly I have the poster because I think Daniel Craig is hot. But thanks anyway, even if I suspect you may be making fun of my super sweet poster. Haha.

[kelvinmorcillo]

haha no way, I'm a big 007 fan, but pierce brosnan is the best one :(

[kelvinmorcillo]

GREAT voice man

[nsjohnny]

AHUAHUAU, mann. it's she.
