Nightingale (Saves The Day cover)

[demellia311]

great cover! anyone ever tell you that you look like Tim mahoney from 311?

[twiddle7125]

This needs a repeat button. And you need to make more videos :)

[AllStyleNoSubstance1]

i imagine you're what Abe lincoln looked like in his 20's

[thexlost]

your voice is like angels having sex in space covered in chocolate............

[ChrisDodgen]

@thexlost That sounds delicious.

[thexlost]

@ChrisDodgen your voice is delicious!

[helemundo]

Shit, wasn't expecting this to be so amazing. Great cover :)!

[tbsxbassistx375]

I can't get over how cool it is that "Lincoln" is a tag.

[ChrisDodgen]

@tbsxbassistx375 All of my videos have a random tag or two at the end that have nothing to do with the video, and merely serve as amusing, often self-depricating humor.

[nickhanabi]

Awesome cover man. Thanks for uploading

[Eraseallhope]

@letsmakesounds not as well as i shoot my guns.

[ChrisDodgen]

@Eraseallhope @letsmakesounds - Okay, Gentlemen, let's move along. The chords are fmaj7, am, F, C, and G.

[Eraseallhope]

@ChrisDodgen thank you

[mEtAlMaNiAc787]

wow i gotta say i was quick to judge....but u proved me wrong!!!!

[Eraseallhope]

what are the Chords your playing?



[letsmakesounds]

@Eraseallhope if youre asking what chords he playing you probably shouldnt attempt anything to do with a guitar since he's playing F C G

[ChrisDodgen]

@letsmakesounds Lulz.

[Eraseallhope]

@letsmakesounds i play bass faggot

[letsmakesounds]

@Eraseallhope right. im sure you do. realllllll well.

[HappyHeather23]

Hey I have been looking for a first dance song for our wedding and would really love for it to be a song that actually means something to us, as this song does. Your version is perfect!! So do you have this recorded in mp3 format or anything? If so how can I get my grubby little hands on a copy????

Heather

[OJRULER]

Great version man

[coleS17]

this is the fourth time in the past week that i've stopped by to watch this.. never gets old, not even the cheezy intro :P lol great job broseph!

[xBudRaDx]

That was absolutely amazing.

[agentLESLIEgee]

Still my favorite covering artist on youtube, Chris. Every time I do covers of STD, I try to emulate your voice vs. Conley's. Great work man!

[jacobejameson]

OMG!! You're so awesome!!! I got your face tattooed as a tramp stamp with two little guitars, one on each side

[tom2002a]

Just great - thanks

[turpinian]

great

[adampomp]

Not bad, Matisyahu. Not bad at all.

5 stars for Scorsese (on coke)!!!

[rpps]

It's nice to revisit this video over and over again since I first ran across it about two years ago and still get chills when I hear it.

Doesn't get much better than that.

[asozansky]

this is awesome dude

[spscarter]

i opened this video thinking, "oh god, no one can cover this song"

but dude, you rocked it.

[daysable]

Awesome cover! Amazing voice. Love your guitar, what kind is it???

[thexlost]

umm..... WHAT SCRATCHY VOCALS? IT'S PERFECT!

[NoLiesJustLove27]

This was SO good, amazing job! I just saw him solo two weeks ago. He came with Dashboard Confessional.

[rezzezezz]

You are amazing!!! I have this as a fav too!

[MrTeejwood]

this is one of the best covers of saves the day ive ever seen......fuckn good job dude

[rezzezezz]

You can sing to me any day! There are not too many who can actually sing like they do. Amazing job :)

[DMJulie]

One of my favorite songs. Amazing job!

[kloewy]

Funny beard indeed... awesome performance though! this song is awesome and you do a great job singing it and playing it

[theendofacircle]

I have this video saved as a favorite, you're the only one I've seen to cover saves the day and do them justice. you should write a solo album, I'd buy it

[ChrisDodgen]

@theendofacircle Thanks. It just so happens that I am working on this. I should hopefully be making a video about that this weekend. Unfortunately, as the videos are a little old, my personal music sounds nothing like STD, though. Who knows? You may still like it.

[theendofacircle]

@ChrisDodgen My music taste varies, I listen to everything as long as its well written and catches my attention. I write music so I appreciate artists of all kinds. My typical music I write sounds nothing like what I listen to either.

[Jacobvs123]

Never missed a key your voice is strong and on point I would of given it a 6th star If it was available.

[thecomfortisnow]

wow.i don't wanna sound gay,but you amaze me.Start a band do something!!! :)

[cmabstraction]

GREAT JOB BRO!!!!!!!!!!!

[deppified94]

your speaking voice is EXACTLY like tyson ritter from the all-ameircan rejects!!!!

[burntlungs]

Great voice!

[piscies100]

[joshdrock]

[BimboShaggins]

this was awesome!

[kharrington82]

been a hardcore STD fan since '01. Glad to see you doing their older stuff, the best in my mind. Your pitch/vocals are right on.

[macriro00]

Less cool?! Way to sing from the soul. Keep uploading!

[punkbailey]

[callxmexboss]

I wanted to say your beard is better than your singing but I'd be lying... Lol Although your beard is mighty awesome!

[GalvestonSkate]

you could be the man of my dreams

[freshdirty]

awesome ...man retured a few times to listen to this ...miss the way std used to kick ass 10years ago...

[gcthemachetes]

I actually like your voice a lot more. Great cover man.

[W09th]

They should give Chris Conley the boot and sign you up so that we can hear some more STD when they actually sounded good...nice cover dude

[ChrisDodgen]

@W09th I hereby award you the Hardcore Comment of the Week! I don't think I'm quite that great, but thank you.

[122avc]

@ChrisDodgen not Chris Conley, obviously. But still good.

[Fuzigish8]

@W09th HA, I totally agree.

[hhheartcore]

@W09th lol STD.

[hhheartcore]

this sounds amazing, much better than the original

[shibbyska]

You have a nice full sound to your voice.

Spot on cover :D

Check out my cover of "My Sweet Fracture" by STD on my channel. I'd love any input.

[junksociety]

Energy. I like that man

[bigfacecosby]

Damn...... Beats the shit out of my cover. Top bloody notch mate!

[bellemcr]

Oh, and the only people that would want to make fun of your beard are just jealous 'cause they can't grow one (or sport one, too) as well as you can! ;)

[bellemcr]

Please tell me you're in a band, or something. You can't let that voice go to waste.

[shanercas]

Very good Cover, I enjoyed it!

[baconfromhell666]

EmoAmi

[RandomBrit]

I like how you imply that anyone could ever say anything negative regarding your beard.

I want it.

[logwind]

[ryaneiler]

I have to agree with Mathias on this. Haven't listened to this stuff in some time, but you do it well. Keep it up.

[michellerosemiller]

Chris, I have never heard Saves the Day, but after seeing this, I am definately going to look them up. You have an amazing talent. Never give up on it.

[mathiasbromage]

[philogos0]

Great job. I appreciate you not trying to do too much with it and I love how you can hit those tough notes. And now to watch your other covers.

[Michaelness123]

Dude, you kindaaa look like Dallas Green in this video. Haa. Anyways, you truly deserve a band or somethin'. No lie. I'd love to hear a bad-ass quality-recording of your stuff. Some STD covers, too. (:

[dbzrkyyh]

great cover man. You should do freakish ,or oliver james by fleet foxes , you'd be my hero.

[ChrisDodgen]

I really like Oliver James. But it sounds hard. Might take a long time to learn.

[lynnersss]

i love you!

[PhreshProductionz]

skillz bro keep it up

[MrYouvandal]

[frodobaggins115]

[nickmeredith002]

[ChrisDodgen]

I'm in Texas.

I'm working on some stuff and I expect to be playing live again within 6-8 months.

[ChrisDodgen]

You, sir, will be the first to know, as I will probably need a place to crash.

:)

[kevylot]

big saves the day fan..you sound just like chris

[ChrisDodgen]

I am Chris.

lol.

[LadiTrayC]

Wow...That was great! =3

[HorriblyDarling]

you look and slightly sound like a shaved claudio sanchez (coheed and cambria). you should do a Coheed cover... if you haven't alread... i'm gonna go check.

[ChrisDodgen]

I have not. I have a couple of their albums, but I don't really listen to them.

[HorriblyDarling]

right on, they're over rated anyways, haha.

[Telkandore]

Great job from an untrained ear :D

[aprilvaccaro]

Job very well done. One of my favorite songs,one of my favorite covers.

[jensaysxstfu]

I listened to your cover because I couldn't find a high quality version of the song.

I'm glad I did. Love your vocals. Your guitar's pretty.

[sommermyers]

Dude, this is and has been my FAVORITE song of all time, since they first came out with it. No one around where I live evenknows it. You did a really good job! :) Thanks for the Vid:) I love it!

[DanClemensTHC]

this rules. hard.

[nhlrules8]

do you think you can tab it??? you really know your std... my sweet fracture was great

[ChrisDodgen]

While I appreciate the comment, it makes me sad that as of this post, that means I have less 1,000 unique views.

;)

[bLaKeRiott]

i wish we were best friends ;(

[ChrisDodgen]

We are.

[twintip08]

Hey i have a quesion, do you sing at a church? just woundering because you look like you do!

Your voice is perfect for this song. Great cover!

[ang386]

holy moly i love your voice.

[schn0zberries]

This is great, I can't stop listening to this one. Put out more Saves the Day covers!!! They're awesome!

[Mandyzfelix]

I have to say... I am a HUGE saves the day fan... And I love Chris Connelly to death.. but it's very possible that your voice is even better than his. Honest to god. Amazing job. I love this song.

[cognitiveabsence]

Very good! I'm always a little embarassed for people when they post themselves singing..but you did a very nice job :)

[ChrisDodgen]

I'm a little confused. You're saying I should be embarrassed? Or you mean you're embarrassed for the bad ones?

[cognitiveabsence]

I'm saying I'm embarassed for the BAD ones! You were GOOD! Sorry for the confusion ;)

[lakersrock1212]

have you tried playing Tomorrow Too Late? Its a cool song too. You should try playing it too. =]

[ChrisDodgen]

I know parts of it. I don't think I know the whole song. I agree it's a good one, though.

[dubgirl20]

this is really amazing.

[Fuzigish8]

Anyone know the chords? Any weird tuning or something? Looks just like c Am G F etc.

[lakersrock1212]

all the strings are in E flat.

[ChrisDodgen]

What he said.

Except that I played it wrong. There's an extra Am on the chorus that I missed.

[vauda]

Very good intonation!

[Fuzigish8]

I'm blown away. Dude, that was too good.

[HAHaley0911]

im diggin the beard, man! your cover sounds really good, too. :D

[rpps]

Uh, favorite? Awesome rendition.

[bLaKeRiott]

this was amazing.

[Ciosis]

thats for sharing, you're very talented!

[johnthecannon]

usually these kinds of acoustic covers are done by dudes with horrid voices... this is a breath of fresh air. nice job!

[ThisMomentIsHeated]

Sweet voice man.
