The Engine Driver - Decemberists cover

[bethkenseek]

@harvestcheedar0 and it's still kickin' :]

[24Hours2]

This song always makes me want to cry, and you're doing it justice.

[dwnfwdpunch]

I honestly think this is better than than the original by far

[dwnfwdpunch]

This was amazing!

[katezilla333]

on "driver" go easy on the "R" pronounciation. But otherwise, perfect! I really love your voice and tone. keep up the great work and try playing gigs.

[dolebiscuit]

Your voice completely melts me...

[DrLasker1]

this is awesome...awesome voice, awesome music...beautiful

[Tyman103]

Oh my God. I am in love with your voice. You have great taste in music, as well =)

But seriously. You do this song beautifully.

[Electrick65]

Much better than the original by Colin. Capo on 6 ... Nice match with your voice. Best of Luck with your EP sales and your musical pursuits. Thank you for the inspiration that emanates from your music.

[Electrick65]

Much better than the original by Colin. Capo on 6 ...nice!

[steve0619]

@Electrick65 no, its really not.

[crazed3333]

great cover!

[everywordmeans]

I don't know if you read your comments here, kiersten; because I assume you've got so many to reply to or whatever, but I just wanted to remind you what a great gift your voice is to me and to many others. I came back to this video after about a year of it's absence, and realize I have to share it now with my girlfriend and soul mate, because it's so beautiful. And so, your influence and beauty will expand and grow like a flower. Thank you! :)

Just started crying.... god I'm such a loser. 

[indieguitartabs]

Great job! This is the #1 ranked Decemberists cover on indieguitartabs.

[bethkenseek]

a couple years ago i was obsessed with watching this cover. i was in love with my best friend, and this song is how i wanted to tell him. i wanted to do one myself. so i learned how to play guitar, showed him, and we've been dating for a year. thank you :)

[harvestcheddar0]

@bethkenseek Now that is an epic romance ;)

[ilovemygrandsons]

[witwicky92]

beside your rendition of Winter Hymnal this is my favorite cover of yours. you have impeccable talent.

[phillprovance]

This is a beautiful cover of this song. You really need to be on the radio.;-)

[FUGGINSTUPID]

Bravo!

[minoritynetwork]

well, that was pretty awesome.

[indiedrugmusic]

Wow, I was actually looking for a quick laugh at someone else's expense, but she is really good. This is one of my favorite Decemberists songs too.

[shovexitxaside]

my favorite cover of yours!

[prestonplatform1]

nice cover of this

[0bolaxada0]

so beatifull.

[bmq1286]

still my favorite youtube video!

[xoxmeghanoxo]

your covers great dear you've got quite the voice :)

[RedQueen100]

pleasant voice

[Anneliese79]

so beautiful,.

[chrisharden]

wow, what a heart melter!! :)

[LordHewing]

Great voice that's a given.

And you are not restrained by too much self awareness or nerves, so the power in it rises and falls in such a delightfully natural and free way.

Good mic too so it does your voice great justice. 5 stars all the way!!.

You clearly got off to a fantastic start here on Youtube.

[cwcwx]

Beautiful voice, well-played guitar, the only thing I noticed: You got pretty pretty fast at times. Try going a little slowlier if you practise. Anyways that's not a major flaw so still 5 for you, very well done. :-)

[LordHewing]

Ah hem, this was 3 years ago !.

Nice comment though. Peace.

[eRev21]

Oh shit. This is really, really good.

[EyesSeeToClear]

Beatiful my dear, I was looking for this specific cover of this song which my friend has on her ipod.

[HOTmayonnaise]

this is still my favorite, i come back to this song after at least years from first hearing it. love it!

[TheJeanyBeany]

[sakrilego]

[EvelynRose011]

YES! The Decemberists are so sweet. & You are wonderful!

[davidbowie1987]

Fall in love. Great.

[SugarMountain15]

This is my favorite driving song, and your voice fits it perfectly. :)

[youhurtgorgar]

It would be much appreciated if you or someone would let me know what kind of guitar (brand/model) you are playing. It doesn't hurt that you play it with a good touch (seriously, you should be proud), but still it is obviously a good guitar sound with some meat to it but still remains pretty.

[hellounicorns]

this sound like it should be on greys anatomy or some jewlery commecial hah, nice work

[zombieshoes]

i love your voice.

[KristinKellyrose]

This is such a gorgeous song that evokes feelings I can't explain.. ahh the beauty of great music.. you do this rather well.. fits your voice.. do you remember the chords? If so, could you post them? Thanks sweety you're wonderful!

Kristin Kelly <3

[haleyharkin]

could you put the chords up? because i found them but they dont sound the same as you play it

[Lollingtonmuffins]

I actually do prefer this version. :)

[Izzy2010]

I think i love you

[EmilyCan0]

amazing!

[Jcornell08]

nice work!

It's one of my favorite of The Decemberist's songs.

you did it justice I think.

[JenGreenup]

you do a good job on this.  i love this song. and you totally look like juliana hatfield.

[theofficealliance]

this is sooo goood! now i gotta check out the decemberists

[prdrums77]

Good stuff for sure. The best Decemberists cover I've heard.

[sreymind]

I'd never heard this before. I went off to hear the original, and I came back because I prefer this one.

[Randomhero002]

your amazing... im in love

[Naghtora]

Good job.

[sunshine8nine]

marvelous! I adore this song and you have done such a great version. kudos!

[Tarkye]

wow, you really have a talent

[kaekae912]

AMAZING.. great job!!! gives me shivers

[tvdream]

[apsurdna]

@tvdream i agree :)

[TheronHoward]

@tvdream Its called the watch later playlist. it works wonders. :D

[EmilyKatex]

epic.

[rn04jp]

Marry Us!

[DearrHannahh]

This is PERFECT.

[Insomiak]

Ive been trying to learn this song for a long time.

Amazing <3

[thoughtlessbeast]

hoooly crap this is mad good; you should send me your musics for free because I am poor and it costs you nothing! yeah?

[gorramdoll]

I think I commented on this before and you probably get too many comments to really read them, but I just want to tell you I love this cover so much and I listen to it all the time...I'm a writer and I've been feeling kind of depressed/apathetic about it and I listened to this video a lot yesterday and it really changed my feelings of hopelessness because the song, but especially your version, is so beautiful--sorry to be a creep but this is so good.

[Willinmusic]

cool! your sing very soft and nice) I like your covers. I am FaN your song!!!

[mattwaldrep]

I just laugh and pass over most decemberists covers but I must say you are quite an artist. I'm impressed. I love your voice for the song.

To :ShaunaaLynn1423

Shut it. She wouldn't have covered the song if she didn't like it by the original artists. You obviously don't appreciate the work of the Decemberists.

[ElMondial]

You're an artist.

[bdaleyknox11]

Marry me.

[cocotreee]

i like your hair.

[AmeeraE]

oh man,

where did you find the taps for this song?

your voice is perfect for this song :]

[ShaunaaLynn1423]

WAY better than the real singers.I wish i could get this version on my ipod

[yayitscrissyxoxo]

I'm so sad I didn't know this existed until now. I want an MP3 version!

[Skeeters2181]

This is pretty sweet.

[joce318]

Hey very good...what capo are you playing this on? I found it super hard to sing sans capo - too low! But anyways great job! :)

[adelinesweetheart]

i wanna know too :(

[cherryontop247]

this such an amazing song and a most fabulous cover! ♥

[jfactory1986979]

God i love this. Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice. I love it. You are amazing.

[iloveoperons]

I love this. I'm favoriting it. No, seriously. I LOVE this (especially the "bones" part). Thanks for posting. :)

[mrballistix]

I was so ready for this to suck, now im dissapointed, majorly.

[Garytheuckingbunny]

Dude this tight!

Your voice is coolio for this song!

Awesome job!!!

[Emm3rr]

so i know it's all been said before, but i have so much admiration for you, and you are just an amazing singer.

you're beautiful too. (:

[adelinesweetheart]

what is the tuning of your guitar or the chords you used?

[gorramdoll]

this is absolutely wonderful

[bongojonesv]

amazing voice, great cover

[phila3885]

Second post.

I like your straight-ahead, on the beat vocal style- I get it! I'm a wanna-be producer, so I would have you try another take with punched-out emotion-a la John Lennon- and see what you think. You have the voice for it. (Not a criticism!)

[bmq1286]

so i just recently heard this song and just discovered your video, thinking there's no someone could do as good of a job, but i absolutely love your cover!!!!!! i really like your voice!!!

[C0n7ent]

Hi, I'm a young guitarist/song-writer, and I'd just like to say as a fellow musician that I think you have a lovely voice honey :-) I watched this whole video, after just having discovered the original song, and I didn't expect it to be great, but I was very entertained and your vocal pitch and tone as well as accuracy is very nice :-) Keep on playing, maybe I can listen to you in my car someday!

[AmeeraE]

wow

i couldnt have chosen a better female voice for this song

right now, this is perfection in my mind

your voice is beautiful

keep singing :]

[turkeymaster77]

you're beautiful

[straysatyr]

very well done. i think you captured the soul of this song

[tintandtime]

i think its safe to say, this cover is great. her voice complements it better:D

[laurenax27]

great song

great voice!

kudos all around.

[BDIDDY2526]

nice.. ur voice is very flattering..

[writtenonmyveins]

Phenomenal. You have a great voice and I really like the emphasis you put on "love".

[waywardwatchdog1]

Anyone who covers this song has great taste, in my opinion.

[SpaceBetwnUs]

love this cover. amazing. ;)

[Cwulfekat]

You sound amazing! I love your voice!

[vipfmb]

You've got such a beautiful voice!

[autumnnicole4]

I love your take on the song. It's the same song, but you add your own twist to it, and it's brilliant.

[galaktikko]

Estas Bella, Cantas Hermoso Te Quiero <3 That was Great, Amazing Beautiful. d-_-b

[sirbalmung1983]

Will you marry me please? You're amazing!

[LadyMarianIsWaiting]

[220Media]

this is one of those songs that warms my heart and for a few minutes the stars are aligned, and I'm back in high school in love standing at the door step with butterflies in your stomach waiting for my baby to answer the door

[GJJ465]

Loved it.

[mathrocksmyworld]

That's beautiful, very nice.

:)

[hoppes82]

u are my fav decemberist coverists... best version I've seen yet of my fav song in the whole wide world... thank u

[cherryontop31]

Your voice is so pretty!!! I don't know if this was intentional, though, but I noticed that on the part where you say "my bones" you don't really say the "my". It's not a very big deal, I just noticed that. Very nice though!!!

[Escocobar]

I love this cover so much that I saved it in my iPod...

[flowersneedscondoms]

reeeeaaally good exellent.

[plasticseraphim]

Wow. This is EXCELLENT!!!! One of my fav songs by The Decemberists and your cover is amazing XD

[ignored246]

[GeneralJabroni]

thanx for this... very beautiful

[wardm42]

i almost prefer this to the real song! excellent voice

[snpazoki]

thats really amazing, sounds just as good without the usual insturments, gratz

[GinaRina07]

This was beautiful!

[set2drain]

Your voice is really gorgeous, but you should definitely try singing with a metronome to improve your sense of rhythm. You tend to speed up with the crecendos.

[jesse9283]

wow! you are soo good. You have a beautiful voice.

[cackles1982]

This is great. Wonderful voice and guitar playing. Keep it up :)

[leveelevee]

nice voice. but i miss the rhythm. its like...we germans say: hickhack. but there are very few good rhythm guitarist out there..

[SierraTuttle]

This is so beautiful!

[accidentalstarrs]

Simply amazing.

[thegr8yak]

[mixtape86]

Awesome!!

[sanne1994]

[curtis222]

I like the slightly quicker tempo compared to the original.

Good job.

[stormgrey182]

[crackernugs]

You have a pretty voice. It makes the song. Keep it up:)

[RepublicofJosh1]

How is this emo?? fracking idiot..hahhaa...this is sooo beautiful. I like (when I cover songs) to go on youtube and see how other people do it, and I adopted some things from your adaptation. I love it.

[ruberube9]

i love you :)

your voice rocks

and all the songs you sing suit you very well

[omfgemossuck]

Very beautiful.

[Liamford3]

haha are u serious this song is awful this is emo music

[omfgemossuck]

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

You're opinion is shit.
