Regina Spektor - Samson (Acoustic cover)

[Emmm253]

love the voice .. :)

[RAEIVET]

tab or tutorial please?! :D

[quememuera]

Men should never, ever cover Regina Spektor songs.

[Jest]

@quememuera Why is that? Interestingly she often covers songs by males, she doesn't change the lyrics in Chelsea Hotel when it's sung form a male perspective. If it's about range and timbre than that's as varied in men as it is in females. Perhaps you mean Baritones like myself shouldn't cover Regina Spektor songs? :P

[ericsantiago011]

Chords bro..please thanks

[LittlestLlama]

Aw great job! Gah I've been trying to learn this on my guitar.. Not much luck. Stupid barring >.<

But this is definitely an excellent cover :D

[lilmsgothicprincess1]

can you message me the chords?

[Captivated42]

I can't hit all of the high notes, so you gave me some good ideas on how to modify the song :)

[kayleeShoe]

I love it! don't listen to the haters. This video has led me to subscribe to you. I love how your version is more mellow. The whole time I was singing along and harmonizing with you. (:

I favorited this. :D You have a talent, never stop playing dear.

[Thomhom]

nice cover! can you write the tabs for this song?

[namesanarez0429]

your good..but your nose is so long!

[barrongreenback1]

dude this is spot on!! Any tabs??

[michellesheldo]

:) amazing! try with more energy, no use being shy!

[theCsherm]

Your guitar is so beautiful. 

[mimlato]

I dont love you! Shut up hippy. Just kidding : )

[lily79673]

great perspective and it sounds so beautiful but i just hate the buzzing in the background. :( but you're a thing of beauty

[TheChrisRL]

well done!

[DliteXiong]

awesome guitar skills!!!

[HyperGoth7]

Heeey gorgeous! Feel good about this whole thing.

[expired1]

now lets see if you got the talent to write your own songs and not use someone elses you piece of shit bum guitar player. cut your fag hair

[DillioMusiq]

ggggjjjj

[DillioMusiq]

you did reallllly good bro. u should go check out my snippet of this. =D

[32Izzo]

good work bro, would have been cool if you changed the perspective to a guy's and called it delilah!! actually I think I'll do that!!

[Jest]

somehting like :

"Hey there delilah what's it like in new york city, I'm a thousand..."

Wait...maybe not. XD

[32Izzo]

yeah he kinda stole that title, so delilah wouldn't be that great. If I think of somethin cool I'll let you know. I'm a guitar player too, so maybe I could record something too!! peace

[DontJustBNatural]

@probber66 Please don't say give up on music.

That's seriously where the line has to be draw.

There is never a reason to give up on music.

So his cover was perfect, and definitely wasn't up to Regina's level.

But I am completely one hundred percent sure that she would love it all the same.

Music is a savior, a defender, and a warrior.

It, in our darkest times, becomes the light that blinds us from the evils of the world.

Its something no one should give up

Not to mean, Just please don't say that

[Jest]

@DontJustBNatural Why thank you DontJustBNatural. This is very old cover (5 years), I don't even really like doing covers now, I mostly do original music. I don't really mind angry people, they actually kind of entertain me. However your defending of music was most noble. So thanks, and if you like check out some of my newer stuff. :P

[probber66]

@Jest great cover, dude. keep up the good work

[Jest]

Wait this was featured? I'm so confused. I did not even notice that happen.

[beccap2]

I think its very well done. I love your voice :)

[karissaissojew]

this truely is absolutly amazing (: goodjob.

[cassidy10]

i think youve done a really good job here mate! wasnt expecting it to be that good. To me it sounds like what i imagine Gary Lightbody (snow patrol) would sound like if he did a cover of it!

Great stuff mate

[Mimitjie]

lovely cover!

[pinkfan13]

where did you get the guitar chords? could you please tell me i really want to learn this song and i cant find any good tabs anywhere

you're a really good singer :)

[dixunis]

Not very good at all.

[a10fjet]

@dixunis agreed. needs more practice

[Jest]

Good news then! this is almost 4 years old. =) I intend to redo it, there are some rather shabby bits.

[ScriptedInspiration]

Wow dude! Really great :) You've inspired me somewhat...I'm going to try and convert this to a Baritone Ukulele cover! Hehe.

[andreaburdett110]

Hey, i'm learning this song right now =) I heard it for the first time today. Its a nice song. I really like your version of it.

[IvyRomi]

so sweet :)

[maybeyoutoocanplay]

wow your really good...suggestion though dont hold your notes as long when your singing and it will sound a lot better. just listen to which notes she holds longer and which she cuts off and youll do great.....otherwise it was way good....and you play guitar very well

[ang829]

Wow! I like this alot. You have a nice voice :) I've loved this song for a while, but its a good switch to hear it done by a guy!

[xXcrimsonxroseXx]

i love everything about this. it's so interesting on guitar with a guy singing it. gorgeous. :]

[BrokenArrowHON]

amazing. i just heard this song yesterday and love it!!!!

[singer4thebypass]

like the strum pattern! check out the covers I've done and tell me whatcha think!

[Jest]

Working on it. Letting time do the dirty work for me. I suppose I could speed up the process but I always forget. Is it across the street? or down the road?

[jimjamkillsnerds]

hahaha.

I like this. especially the strum pattern.

[KeyLargo67]

Dont listen to that lamer. Youre voice is amazing

[Cogge1984]

you lack the voice

[Alueska]

So pretty :)

[PeriPonytails]

really great cover! it sounds really good in acoustic guitar, and you have a great voice as well! <3

[charmsmilesongs]

wow. I think this is one of the best covers I've watched here in youtube.

I like it a lot. so beautiful.

Please do post more covers. thank you. God bless ya.

[neil200936]

cool...

[CooliosGhost]

hey what guitar is that i really like and i want to buy it please reply

[emsmalee]

If you ever sing this to a girl (or a...guy...) you will have them locked. down. that was beautiful. Truly. (:

[Haxham]

You play so well...

Don't worry - Regina hits notes that are not humanly possible... You did great = )

[psykro81]

very good

[pynkethannah]

I love that song, also these cover. I'm sitting in front of my computer with goosebumps on my arms...Nice!

[Maxmillionzucato]

You remind me of a Christian artist but........I don't believe in that anymore. But in some sense you remind me of Jennifer Knapp.

[Jest]

oh yea, my sister really likes her. =P

[frannkiko]

beautiful!

[JimenaMartinez]

I love it!!!!! A beautiful version of the song!!!

[Fireheart228]

[scotch1216]

[xshabriellax]

How lovely. I like it. 5 stars.

[Singer4Jesus]

I didn't think this would be very good, but I completely take it back. I fell in love with your version after just a minute of listening. Great job. :)

[Westvlaamsche]

I was so sceptical to watch this, but omg did u own that song. Well done!

5 stars from me!

[bumphy]

[niclak]

[EvanescenceLover381]

This gave me goosebumps. Awesome job, man. You made it your own without slaughtering it. Well done!

[jdean97]

cute i really like it.

[xxStarxx5556]

u made it your own, verry good (:

[staraxe1]

Bravo mate!

Excellent cover of a difficult but very, very special song. You made it your own. Well done.

Ps are you related to Bernard Butler?

[Jest]

I don't think I am, unless it's very distant.

[Bianka8D]

This is very good... Nice voice!!!

[BoundlessDrop]

Yep, love it. Well done dude. Your interpretation suits your voice. I liked it how you didnt sing it exactly the same as Regina yet you still sang in tune!!

Straight into favourites!

[Annabananayeah]

:) ah just beautiful!

you have a really nice voice and the guitar is good as well.

thanks for sharing your talent<3

[SrtaMaisaPaula1]

yiu are marvellous!!!!!

you are great!!!

=)mah=)

[SrtaMaisaPaula1]

cara...naum consigu entra na net e naum ver esse video...eh mtu boum!!!!!

essa vozinha eh taum linda!!!!!

=)mah=)

[justaspoonfulofgreen]

Bravo :)

You did very well!

[sajiarii]

I really like that this is a slightly different interpretation and you didn't strain yourself to sound just like Regina--you did your thing and it was excellent. =]

[operationxunityxivy]

Wow. I know you've had a million people tell you how good this sounds, but I have to.

I opened this not knowing what to expect. Worrying because it's so hard to sing a song by Regina Spektor without paling in comparison. But you did a beautiful job. :D

And any guy who can sing like you can is cool in my book. :-)

Good job!

[vanilah88]

that's a great rendition man.especially u made it look simple.jst enough to play it for oneself..u know what i mean..u shud make a tutorial vid..

[seeki914]

I've seen people request the chords before, but i'll give it another shot, the other versions i've found don't quite sound like yours does. I'd really appreciate a chord list at least, the order doesn't really matter much just what chords you play please <3

[feelee15]

use a capo. Since the song is in B major, use a capo on the 4th fret and play in G.

[movierod]

watch your tuning

[Jest]

Meh. :P

[teenagedime]

God you;re good!

[phantomsgirll]

I love what you have done! You are amazing!

[blacksyth23]

haha the trick to that just replace he w/ she him w/ her and guy names w/ a girl name wurks evury time!

[Jest]

that doesn't work cause the songs about samson. Also the song isn't sang from my point of view, nor is it really sang from Reginas so it doesn't matter if it's he or she.

[blacksyth23]

oh ok

[PrimroseTheBig]

Youre really good, I loved it well done :)

ox

[LifeLessFrightening1]

Wow.. That's like really good.

I love that song.

[nyrk12]

And the plucking pattern!

[nyrk12]

Please, please, please share the chords!

[Mienosaurus]

i like your cover !

[mightypanther04]

Okay, I've listened to a few of your covers now... and some of your originals... and it's official. I'm a fan.

[Nixkainox]

amazing :) good job

[imattheendofarainbow]

[Linn301]

I like it!

I love that you did it on guitar.

Keep it up! ;)

[samarias12]

you are awesome i like ur voice and u can play he guitar really well

[krizzia232323]

u know people if he changed the lyrics without the permission to eh composer..it can be called Plagerized..so dont look at him as something u think..hes an awesome singer..why people can u sing? eh?

[Austin8641]

haha its not plagerism to cover a song exactly !

[rotory2002]

Nice job man...........

[dirtymuffler419]

i liked it alot you did really well

you have a really good voice

i like how you change the melody

-keli

[styropyrene]

samson went to your bed??

lol...

u should have replaced it with "to her bed"

[ChinKicker]

It could be a girl named Samson...

[Jest]

I just thought of it as singing from a characters perspective. In this case Female. Regina does that all the time anyway. :P

[libbyjune]

who cares if it's a guy anyways. it's beautiful music and that's all that matters. look past the pronouns if that bothers you.

[namrevarbnosaj]

I love the ways you changed the melody line to compensate for your different range. It turned out well.

[gnehzz]

I loved you first ^^

[Riccy94]

amazing :))

you are truly amazing.

[xxxruzzelxxx]

I think Im fallin inlove with this guy

[slkdlg]

hey, that was really lovely

[wendynub]

:)

[bluelemon0]

[gotfuji]

[MoreToLife420]

Heeey, think I could get those chords?

[PattyDoyle17]

well it was well done and i like the sorta rock edge you gave it. Well done. :]

[PattyDoyle17]

really good. I hope my videos are as good as that. Loved it. :]

[Elektrik117]

Hey dude man, that was spot on! Any chance of tabs?

[AnubisFee]

You are good!

[QwertyRauno]

Nice :)

I have similar guitar( looks of it I mean )

Well done. (Y)

[ricetorte]

[rhapsodysage]

Wow your awesome! I love your vocals! So great..

hey could you send me the barre chords your playing? and strumming pattern? Its so good.

I would be so stoked! -kristin

[ivytreeproductions]

Well done. I like guitar. I think it fits well with your voice - I mean, the style. The quality of the actual video is okay, but the quality of the musician is superb (that better?) You would be any chance have the music for this?

[VanityAndCorruption]

Very well done =)

[Makayla2790]

this is so good i really like it :P very cute

[snowleopard772]

im not sure i like your voice in this song.

but i like the guitar. :)

[EvoEnasher]

this is a very nice cover great job man.

[Lucasfrenzy]

good show =D

[MillieBee11]

Utterly stunning performance. This song seems to get flipped on its head when its played like this - with male vocals, and a guitar. Personally, I've always imagined that she's singing about two seperate people (it switches between 1st and 2nd person; "SAMSON went back to bed, not much hair left on HIS head" "I loved YOU first. The stars came falling on OUR heads.") So I really believe you pulled that off without sounding silly.

Fantastic work.

Favourited for sure!

[tharealongbak]

atleast u ddnt sing lyke real high...comfortable singing is very important...u dd awesum

[leiladear12]

you played the role of delilah very well in your version.. nice version.. it is amazing that this song could be sing by a man

[juliekatemusic]

i like that you're a dude and covered regina. very cool :)

[BirdsFlyBearsDont]

lol you're singing about a dude

[Jest]

It's OK though, I'm a flaming homosexual. >.>

[mosomos89]

it's probably none of my buisness, but is that a joke jest?

[Makayla2790]

oh lawdy lol

[loverxshh]

if someone would sing this song to me i would in a heart beat fall in love wid him.. <33

you did good..keep it up.

now ima try to learn it.

;]

[costaricaforsure]

damn bro that was awesome keep it up

[breakingxmyxheart]

Beautiful. Teach me how to play that. I play guitar too... i wanna learn!! lol :)

[kittix5466]
