this, is probably on my list of my favorite cover songs of all time. AND im a really big Daniel Johnston fan. The entire point of covering a song, is to make it your own. A song that you feel something for, but would like to share in your own way. THIS IS BRILLIANT. good music is good music. and thats what this is. they did an amazing job
They took a song driven by bittersweet emotion and made it upbeat, poppy, and sterile. I'm all for re-interpretation, but when the cover artist doesn't understand whats so special about a song it the first place, crap like this results.
Damn this cover kinda sucks. Mates of States has really kinda been. I would have liked to see what they would have done with it 7 years ago. It's just kinda cheesy, and it doesn't feel earnest. These days, I think they are letting their success get to their heads.
Brightly polished, sugary sweet, and utterly missing the point of one the world's most beautiful songs. I hope it brings more people to Daniel Johnston and makes him some money. Otherwise, this is just sad as hell.
this is a great cover, people need to remember that without a cover like this, Daniel Johnston wouldn't be able to make a living, it's what he does. Wilco also has an amazing cover of this as well.
I wouldnt say that this song is spectacular or anything but I like it. I like it more now that I have seen the video. The video that was made was really cool.
My daughter walked down the aisle to this song on September 24 2010. She married her very best friend. It was wonderfully happy and yes I cried.... a lot.
Anyone who hates on this or compares it to anything or anyone else, really doesn't understand Daniel Johnston to begin with. And you don't deserve to like this amazing interpretation anyway. I just got broken up with, and this made me happy that one day, I will find true love. And a boy who will do stuff like this with me. Life is incredibly, cruelly beautiful. If you can't accept ingenuity, you can't accept anything.
@nrrrdking No no I get it. Artists reinterpreting a song and making a cover their own. That's beautiful thing, it's what should happen. It's just...this is the gayest thing ever.

They lost all the feeling that was in the original song.
In my opinion, they butchered it.

This is great. Loves Mates of State! They seem so happy doing what they do, and you don't find that in musicians all that often anymore.
Also, big fan of Mr. Dan Harris. (:
