if BEARS were BEES - King of Carrot Flowers (Neutral Milk Hotel Cover)

[Lindsane]

love you :)

[Snacks1337]

I saw you guys playing tonight on the top of gasworks hill. I told you I would come to your show on friday. I was listening to neutral milk hotel all night on my bike. I almost asked you to play this song when you strummed the g at the beginning. Excellent. I really liked the song watercolors... I feel just like that right now. I had to come home and confirm the brevity and beauty of those lyrics. Thank you guys. -mario

[MegaMr57]

love it man. you inspired me to learn it myself :D

[angelzyt43]

fucked up the song nigga

[pomegranatemilk]

This was beautiful.

Smoke some pot, then redo it... It'll be even better, I guarantee it.

[Rockster363]

Lol great job! i bet your nabors love you dont they with all them speakers!

[Greenblackie]

This sounds way to Fall Out Panic! Motion City Death Cab.

[AxYAWNxISxCONTAGIOUS]

you've got a very very similar voice to jeff mangum

[TheCareMores]

you need to post more songs!!!!!!!!!

[sestavajajo]

this is pretty sweet dude

[listentothecaremores]

i listen to this song at least one time a day...i think this better then neutrals song...you should all check out (the caremores) there pretty similar....and leave some feed back...peace,love and herpies

[Bimkovitz]

Justice has been served.

[babyeatsguts]

i am extremely impressed

you did justice

especially with the oboe

[TensaixBuchou]

It's actually a decent cover of the song. You did it justice which is difficult for such an amazing song.

[Ukanflyy]

Best NMH cover I've seen on Youtube, bravo!

[kevmatkel]

This is really incredible.

[TheMouseIsModest]

great cover!

[iHeartCoolStuff]

he looks douchy for this song? anyone who has a passion for Mangum's music is ok in my book.

[MacklinReed]

It's rare that I like the sound of the oboe. Well done!

[ddarko327]

I agree with hyperKnc. I even think the original version could be slower. This song is so meaningful. Maybe I only say this because i never want it to end =)

Great job guys.

[JoeThePsycoRobot]

thats great

[blueidblonde]

do one of your own songs!

do Claires Not Real!

[DonOwnsYou]

great cover guys...love this song.

[hyperKnc]

I believe you did it justice, which is honestly, imo, a huge compliment. I think you took it a little quickly, it could stand to slow down in a couple parts. But otherwise it was pretty good. The tone on the oboe(I think) fit very well.

[Balladofthebroken]

very nice

[whattheberger]

nice

[twoheadedgirl]

I agree- this looks awful, sounds great.

[gorramdoll]

I posted on this a long time ago but I just wanted to say I have since started listening to the songs on your myspace and I love them a lot and some day when I'm not so lazy I will order your album.

[Stumbleine689]

very nice, first good cover of NMH i've seen on you tube

[LikwidN22]

Dude... not bad, not bad. Big setup for a 2 guy crew, eh?

[fabcasablancas]

congratulations !

wonderful cove !

[SinkyChan]

Again- Awesome.

[daisypaste]

wonderful!

[puddingmonster]

beautiful cover. Are you playing a takamine ean10c?

[overdaedge182]

very good guys!

[aujrly]

oh god i love this song/cover so much

[multiverses]

Great version of that beautiful Neutral Milk Hotel's song.

[letyourfreakflagfly]

I love the clarinet. It sounds really cool man, the outside thing was really neatorama.

[gorramdoll]

you have a really nice voice and I like how it's outside.

[dzunit]

The only complaint I can think of is that you wear your guitar too low. It's way cooler higher up.

[hockywierdo]

you do look rather douchy for how good the cover is musically. the vocals get too punk rock nasally sometimes but other wise the "tryyyyyy" is pretty akin to jeff.

[DJkevvykev]

Love NMH. Wasnt hopeful of the cover version...

but U guys nailed it. Good job.

If Bears were Bees? - there'd be no Honey left for us !

[tigerboy1966]

Brilliant effort. Really got the feel of the original. One of the best NMH covers i've seen/heard.

[danddgroc]

Sounds like a christian song.

[gorramdoll]

how?

[ihatetj]

thank you. and our myspace has that music store thing. or you could email me and i'll let you know how to get a real copy.

[gorramdoll]

you mean you can't buy the album from the store, just buy the songs on the computer? that's sad.

I guess I should email you then.

[buddhagoblin]

Well done. Shurrah!

[OlNoKnees]

This is... amazing. You really captured the spirit of the song perfectly. Great job!

[gagsvsamerica]

wow. very impressive sirs.

clarinet is a nice touch.

[wishiwerepoetic]

IMPRESSED!!!

and thats a hard thing to do

[Strengthxpain]

fuck yea

[arielxcore]

:/ i like the NMH version, im not too impressed with the cover.. but it isnt bad

[mylagoldberg]

i adored it!

it's beautiful not only for the way you guys played it, but because of the shoot to!

amazing!

[beautifulmal]

very nice, an original take on a beautiful song that is in and of itself a worthy song. I applaud you, not many can cover Neutral Milk Hotel and come off as anything but awful.

[Thrak0z]

great tune. great cover. bravo.

[marauder76]

that was actually very well done.  bravo.

[eyeball226]

Well bloody done you two. What instrument was that(the one that wasn't a guitar)? I play the tin whistle to that one filling a similar role. I'd record it but I'd have find someone else to play guitar and sing.

[dustyasymptotes]

Looks and sounds like an oboe.

[TheBoss2332]

ROFL....I believe it's a clarinet

[devankdevank]

thank god someone out there is willing to play nmh different and not shitty

[bballkvn7]

nice

[BishopKelt]

AWESOME cover man... you really did justice to the original.

[HeavyEvvy]

Nice work guys, sweet cover!

[Dragonclaw23]

Great cover guys. Like someone else said already, the only ones who didn't butcher NMH so far. (Apart from TDD).

[Stormx2]

Agree with daclap there, good shit!

[daclap]

wow look; a NMH cover on youtube that DOESN'T butcher the original!UNHEARD OF!

[jordanfromdsl]

nvm i got it

[jordanfromdsl]

[SinkyChan]

Marry me, guys.

[citizenloz]

Awww this is a really awesome cover. Love it!

[rizzolicious]

Wow. I love how you made this song your own. Not to mention it's a beautiful looking shot, too. Love the sun glare.
