  • Lol this is so bad hahahaha

  • You ruined this song for me, with your weird retard singing. Don't ever attempt anything by sufjan again. It's way out of your league

  • is this kid tarded?

  • like an autistic bob dylan.

  • @edsulvan42

    You're a moron.

  • ya tgis is great just dont try to stylize the words so much, sounds silly. I know i used to make the same mistake,

  • i like your voice kid

  • best cover ive seen

  • this is by far my favorite cover, your voice is awesome, same with the singing style

  • very cool voice style for the uke-ified version of the song. love it.

  • You're a Buddha Dude... keep on making music! Awesome video!

  • why do all sufjan covers have to be done in "the woods" or in "the outdoors"?

  • @HerbertJablonski Those are the rules Herbert. Just accept it.

  • Great Voice

    Loove your voice man

  • sing the words. dont try and jazz it up. sufjan stevens sang this song perfectly. the way it should be sung. i love the ukulele, dont get me wrong, but jesus christ just pronounce your words.

  • One of the best covers of Romulus on YouTube.

  • lol

  • much sincerity in your voice, wish you had more covers I could listen to.

  • this is awesome

  • A Devendra Banhart-esque Sufjan cover. Never thought I'd see it

  • This is one of my favorite songs.

    awesome!

  • yes could you please post the tabs!

  • where did you find the tabs? could you post a link or something? you got the song to work on the ukulele perfectly

  • Unless you intended it, I recommend putting a towel under your tapping foot so we can't hear it.

    Otherwise, cool.

  • totally awesome...

  • Great job James. Thanks for sharing.

  • great cover !!

  • your voice sounds strained and youre putting unneeded accent and lazy vowels on the whole song.

  • love your uke. i've got just the same one ;)

    nice - inspiring - cover by the way!

  • where did you get the uke? and how much was it?

  • Great job!

  • slightly robotic and your stares toward the camera are quite unsettling/creepy, but despite this a nice effort.

  • Pretty nice man!

  • yeah, i have a mandolin also,

    do you know the chords?

  • Nice song and your voice fits really good, well done.

    I have a Mandolin - do you happen to know the chords for this song?

    Cheers

  • your little guitar and voice is good. thank you.

  • hahaha i resnt that so much but its still funny... rofl socks

  • not a fan.

  • this is great!

  • This is amazing, I love your singing and the background is beautiful. I envy your setting!

  • I will agree, with the previous comments that your voice is good, and that you sing on pitch. However if you want to sound better, you might want to try avoiding sliding up/down to/from the note. In certain parts of a song it's good to used as style. But honestly, people like songs they can sing along with, and when you get to fancy with the vocals it makes it difficult. I'm not a perfect musician either, but I thought I would offer you some friendly advice. :)

  • I think your performance is outstanding. And I agree with longhairchild, the uke, your voice and the location is excellent and I'd love to hear more from you.

  • i love every single thing in this video.

    your ukulele. your voice. your background. i especially love your emotions and movements that you put into it. thank you

  • This is realy nice... :=)

  • Well done, could you post the chords thanks

  • Awesome! Hey, can you post the chords?

  • i love ukuleles...

  • you are fantastic!!!

    I really love this man.

    where are you?? I want to be where you are..it looks beautiful.

    xoxoxoxo

  • wow. you did a tremendous job hitting the high notes.

    sufjan is amazing and your voice is pleasant.

    you look ridiculously familiar.

  • You have an amazing voice young man...and I am not easily impressed.

  • Beirut covers Sufjan... very cool man.

  • totally awesome...

  • Awesome job dude. 5stars

  • that instrument is so cute!

  • Go faster.

  • love love this, your voice is perfect.

  • hey good job

    do you think you could send me the chords?

  • i adore your voice.

  • nice cover. Your voice kind of reminds me of Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand

  • dude.. the most unique voice i've heard in a while...keep it up... got any casimir pulaski laying around... it'd be awesome thnx man

  • very good! is that a samich uke? i hav one and it sounds oh so good!

  • Strange posture while playing, but your vocal twist on this song is very pleasant. But, as said before, you could hold the notes a little longer. Keep posting!

  • fantastic. thank you and please post more. a wonderful voice and great ukulele. a pleasure AND your video introduced me to sufjan stevens. cheers.

  • i appreciate this. thank you.

  • haha, nice job man

  • very nice, at least u dont try to imitate sufjan like most of the covers on you tube. i like it

  • We dont get many folks drivin' down these parts. Why dont you come down the basement I play you some Ukio-lele Huh? So creepy.

    Also, you have a good voice but to use such a harsh tone on a Sufjan song completely butchers it and bleeds all the power out.

  • poor

  • You're an idiot. This is an excellent cover, especially for a ukulele.

  • <3

    perhaps i wasn't talking about the quality. perhaps i don't derive pleasure from the sounds ukuleles make. perhaps i thought his voice was annoying.

    <3

  • Wow, really good. Sounds great on ukulele. I love your singing you kind of give it your own touch. My only suggestion would be to let it ring a bit more. Keep it up!

  • dude, this is awesome!

  • really nice voice. little bit creepy when you keep staring at the camera but what can you do. excellent cover

  • Very nice, sounds great on a Uke.

  • sucked. choppy as hell.

  • Aww lefty.

    Great job.

  • Great man! Stay cool hey!

  • had to agree i was unsure at first too. but as the song goes on i find myself wanting to hear more. like it a LOT. pretty decent voice, well done James!

  • MAN YOU ARE SOOOOOO GOOD KEEP ON KEEPIN ON hehe

    I am sooo impressed dude, this is my favourite song and you nailed it!!! good job!!

  • I was unsure at first
