[madeofpurple]

I really like your version of this song. I love the original but because of the "beat" and Brandon's facial expressions I find the song amusing, I don't know maybe that's just me. But your version really brings out the emotion of the song. So you did good!

[BluberryMuffin652]

OMG i totally forgot about this song

[JRiot117]

@BluberryMuffin652 GASP! LULZ

[NightRaven147]

[YesItsMeElise]

[YesItsMeElise]

[utubelover14]

You're amazing!!!!!! =) You're like the best male voice I know!! =) I love your cover songs! =)

[purplemarkerunicorn]

better than the killers (:

my brother LOVES the killers, and also enjoyed your version, and he almost never admits to liking artists that i do, so clearly, you're pretty amazing(:

[Breetwee]

Eddplant singing TK.

ohmygod.

THIS GUY.

THIS VOICE.

IT'S ALL AMAZINGNESS.

♥♥♥♥♥

My day is made. :D

[contempgirl]

So it took me a while to work out how to word my feelings about this song, but I think I have got it. I went to this gig with my friend once and one of them started crying when they played her favourite song. I thought she was nuts, until now.

This is truly beautiful.

[ohmycullen1917]

wow this is so amazing it made me cry :'D

[Hertha10fan]

its anodyne !!!!

[Missstaria]

to be honest, I prefer this to the original. You put so much more emotion in all of your songs then I have ever heard before in any musician. You're amazing :)

[rohhfbre]

Gotta gotta be down because I want it all...(8) *-* The Killers o/

[iLoveBrumTheCar]

wow, you're voice sounds amazing when you sing deeper, like you do here. Such amazing tone! I'm a big fan of your other music but i think you should sing lots more like this :-) beautiful.

[MsIdontmakevideos]

i fell in love at the first note. less than 3

[elphabamushu]

i love this song. i love you. i almost died of love when i saw you'd done a cover of this.

thank you. thank you, very much.

[Thiefree]

Oh, dude. Do more songs in this range <3 Low voice = very, VERY sexy.

[londonadienninja5638]

This is such a good song. I'm glad you did a cover.

[aneesharyan]

Great work.......dude looks like Paul McCartney

[WTFuckMeMiranda]

I loved this song ever since it came out. But this cover has more meaning and more emotion than The Killers probably intended it to have. It's beautiful.

[angsil92]

lovely <3

[MouthingWords]

I've known and loved this song forever, but you completely reawoke it for me. I don't understand it -- whatever you sing, the words sound more meaningful and the music sounds more beautiful. I guess it's the mark of an artist.

[Elvarya85]

marry me?

[jampuddleduck]

That's so beautiful, you have an amazing voice!

[chumkui999]

he shoots his load at 3:26 lol

[chumkui999]

one up the bum no harm done

[con4onme]

i have been subscribed to you for a while but i didn't have time to check out some of your older videos till now and wow i was missing out :O

this cover is amazing! i like the killers a lot and didn't expect much from this cover but tbh i like your version of this song much more!

you're amazing mr eddplant :)

[jujubeeluvswrestling]

marriage? possibly? yes?

[Minnegermangirl]

you sing this song so sensitive, i love it!

[Smalls2233]

This is great <3 Like I love the original, but this is fruking amazing <3

[TheNoddii]

dude you're amazing I can't fault this...beautiful

[TekkenRulezz]

You need sideburns... (Iknow you've got long hair now, but you still need 'em in my opinion (tho I'm a straight guy, so yeah..))

Beautiful cover btw :)

[TheZebbyzeb]

I am slightly in love with you now. You are brilliant.

[MyBirnchen]

This is amazing. Everytime I hear your cover version it seems as if there has never been an original. x

[masterman3178]

where are u from i can hear an accient but cant tell

[MsExistential]

@masterman3178 lol watch any of his other video's you'll figure it out, plus you'll be able to listen to more of him!

[midgekt]

That is proper lush, your voice goes so well with the song. Well done mate, your covers are really good so is the music you do yourself. =D

[kittywithlice]

ahhhhh oh my gosh i love thissss!!! i seriously love all the covers you do better than the originals. like really. in loveee <3

[minibiccy]

you are so bad that this is literally going to be the next hilariously shit thing that everyone wwill watch and then you're going to be bullied at school. FREAK

[McMuffinsFTW]

This is an amazing cover as well as your Use Somebody cover...as with all of them. Your original songs are great. Music is a good choice for you, keep at it!

[spbookworm]

Okay, this is completely random, but I was listening to Superman (It's Not Easy) and you'd have the perfect voice to sing that. :D

Anyway, I LOVE THIS SONG and you do it justice (well, obviously). Haha, I've put your covers on repeat many times when doing homework. It's what gets me through the day. :]

Less than three.

[JunkyKaddi]

i love you, too :)

[meonyouztubecom]

i love you :)

[BriIsTheFinestCheese]

omg short hair :O

[LiterallyTuesday]

I love you. You're a fantastic singer. And you give this song such a fantastic twist

And yes, I realize this is a three year old video, but I absolutely love it.

[cheeserules5419]

This is way better than the original. Don't get me wrong, the Killers are pretty good, but this is awesome.

[dearpaigeily]

I must say, I adore you quite a lot. I adore the fact that all I have to do when Im feeling down I can go to your youtube page and listen to your covers. Your talents make me feel happy, now I feel like a creep. D: <3 (:

[hollishillis]

@dearpaigeily No worries here. I do the same thing :) His voice is AWESOME.

[dearpaigeily]

@hollishillis I agree (: <3 Thanks for reassuring me

[DisabledDinosawr]

I did not really like this cover - and before I get called a troll... I just think this song should be a bit faster paced and cheery :) Anyway keep up the good work you have more guts then me posting videos off you singing :D

[harvmiester1]

@DisabledDinosawr

o_o

Mr. Brightside, Cheery?

Dude, it's a song about jealousy and betrayal.

[frostiiful]

Marry meeeee

[mcflygirl4evaxox]

4 irish girls singin our hearts out !! :L

[Jaysonaaa]

Sons of Admirals, Yes.

[NeonTiger94]

i liked it :) it was good to hear that you didnt try and imitate brandon's accent when singing it as i've noticed on youtube alot of others have, it gets kind of annoying lol obs no patch on the original but it's different and cool well done :)

[TheLaaaaaura]

I downloaded this song off your website - I actually really like it slow - I think I prefer it that way! I love your voice, like seriously, it makes me happy :)

[bill11097]

well i really like it (yes its me again i'm just going through all the videos that i think i'll like)

[LoveIsMorphine]

I like that you slowed it down, it made me listen to the words. It made the song more ironic, and less sarcastic.

[murkat23]

When i first started listening to this i didn't think i would like it...but as i listened on,, it's really good :D well done, you have once again amazed me with your talent <3

[GearyFTW]

this is actually such a great cover :)

[OrangePringle]

Amazing. You're really talented

and your probably he best singer in the Sons of Admirals

[Bammarjackass]

@OrangePringle "Probably" I don't think it's a contest personally. The other guys are clearly passionate, but there is alot to be said for raw talent. Also in relation to this cover and the comments, I don't think even the Killers take this song that seriously, it sounds beautiful sung this way though :)

[OrangePringle]

@Bammarjackass Oh not at all I think all of the SOns of admirals are wonderful. I was just saying that he has a really unique interesting voice that's different from alot of singers now I should've re worded myself

[Bammarjackass]

@OrangePringle Ah thanks for clearing that up. I totally agree :)

[waltzinmatilda63]

I'm amazed how you managed to change the emotional feel to this song. When the Killers did it, it came out as manic heartbreak, almost angrily, yet when listening to yours it's like a different song, like a depressed, more sarcastic version. It's beautiful, you are truly an artist.

[TheTasmanianAngel]

omg one of my fave songs. i like ur cover.

[infrickenneedofaname]

i love you mann :L your music is amazing and it mad me feel so good :S but i dunno its just amazing and wooo i love you :D

[donnydarko1st]

at the beginning i thought you fall in sleep :) but nice version :)

[MrSamanthaE]

your fantastic, your guitar playing is mesmerising, only one slight request... i think your voice needs to be slightly softer to match your guitar :) x

[Onarona]

I think this is really good. It actually gave me goosebumps! You now have a new subscriber :P

[Kathrillah]

marry me?

[xHobbseyx]

do you have a cd your amazing x

[eddplant]

@xHobbseyx I have an EP to download at music.eddplant.com and I'm working on a full length album :)

[ThePrettyLittlePixie]

I like it :) I think it's just right so SHUT UP @gravew0lf. Kthanxbai ^-^

[TheBlueBambi]

I think its perfect. Dont listen to the stupid people. Its great :)

[kirky36]

You sound better in your upper register. Can you change the key? I know it's harder than it sounds to do that though!

[eddplant]

@gravew0lf I know a good few thousand who do, but thanks for the advice.

[rainbowgorilla]

@eddplant  Haha touché. What a bellend.

[meeponTV]

@gravew0lf if he played it the exact speed it was written, it would be a copy.. "no one likes a copy"

[OMGACHICKEN100]

@gravew0lf Shut up, he is singing and playing it how he wants to and its amazing, it gives it more emotion and feeling, he can sing it fast or slow and he will still own it amazingly, so stop givin you 'advice' and just give his style a try, He is a fantstic artist so let him do what he wants. :|

[Olberbabycakes]

@gravew0lf i do.

[aboveallelse666]

awesome remake of the song. i like how he sings it low and slow but i reckon if he mixed that with ,, more 'singing'. like theres a couple parts of the song where you push out it out a bit more and it sounds awesome.

1:24-1:40 is really good, when you say eager eyes is just absolutally perfect

[aboveallelse666]

[dougiedannyluv]

Well. I just looked at the comments... and I'm absolutely shocked. I can't believe people would have the utter lack of sense to call this anything but amazing. This is such a beautiful cover of the song. Mr. Eddplant, you put so much emotion into your songs, and I love this more than the original.

[IndigoRushMusic]

I don't agree with people who say stuff like 'this is shit' for feedback. Those people normally don't make videos themselves.

I do.

But in comparison to your more recent videos, I think this started off a bit plain. And the singing is a bit *blehhh* at times. Gets better throughout though.

I subscribed anyways :)

- Indy

[Supperhuhn]

well, a very new version of this song .. but i really like it ^^

well done <3

[ThatsHawt25]

i really liked this. especially the tone and how much you slowed it down. It's beautiful.

[karlet123]

beautiful. you voice reminds me of Greg Laswell, i love to see you cover something like 'come undone. :)

[SnickersInTheBarn]

whenever i listen to this,

i find myself singing along under my breath.

:)

[TheRandomDirector]

This is great!

Well Done (: x

[colafreaksken]

no way dudes; you know whats boring ? you are ! This guy sings quite right ! You try ! this is a very difficult song to sing !

[notasfunnyaswethink]

Alright you've made me cry now.

[RawryDay]

Whats the chord sequence for this i cant find any that sound like it

[XxCrimsonISwordxX]

Your voice is a bit flat... its boring in this... As more voice... :]

[ramelau]

i agree with you...

boring song, poor voice..

[DudeWithAcoustics]

loved it man

[telecomerce]

never thought it could be played like that but it works really really well

[PyrexiaShen]

haha. this guy is so funny turning "SNAKES" into the SEA. ahah ROFLMAO.

[eddplant]

In what way does it sound like either of those? I only ask for future reference, so that I can avoid sounding like I'm having a wank and/or piss. Unless, for some reason, that is ever my intention. You know, avant-garde stuff.

[najtrows]

we'll it looks like youre not serious about it.

like you are just joking with this song.

i dont say it to be mean but its the way i see it, just some critique to make you better!

[eddplant]

Thank you :)

[ExplosizeProductions]

hah!

" Turning SNAKES into the sea.."

made me giggle.

[PunkApostle]

nice job on the cover i like how u slowed it down, but u should've sped it up just a lil bit in the first verse , but otherwise its great

[xhxixtxmxex]

just because its slower and mellow doesnt make it suck. i love this. great job man!

:D

[samantha112989]

great guitar skills my ass dude, u play at heroin speed. and u have no fucking stage presence. you're a dead lay dude, lmfao

[eddplant]

I'm not on a fucking stage, you bluetard.

[Achoocha91]

umm..sing plz faster but ur voice is good

[stephanebohemier]

Nice work! Love your take on this song. Keep it up, please!

[Hyde48]

Haha, great cover man, I find this cover especially interesting because I do this song with my band, but I have a low vioce and I have to sing it at your octave, which blends in too much with the rest of the instruments, but it works very well just with acoustic guitar. Good job

[chitnig]

yeah dont listen to these idiots. this is your cover and its perfect..i love it. they are just jealous cause they dont have a wonderful voice and great guitar skills like you.

:)

keep up the great work and post some more videos!

try some linkin park or imogen heap or three days grace!

-amanda.

[CTheVitamin]

wow worst cover ever

[InBloomCobain]

lmao worst cover ever ?!

its fucking amazing. come back when you can do better and untill then do one.

[guess66who]

yawn

[TheWolvestilidie]

its too low to be fair mate

[niggertoy]

shut the fuck up you monotone retard oh and by the way you look more retarded every video more pearsings and less hair your a tard get a job cunt

[SurveySays1986]

"Mr. Brightside" is my favorite song ever, by far. And I can appreciate all different takes on it. The only thing is that--and I'm sorry to nitpick--it's "turning saints into the sea" and not "turning snakes into the sea." Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Haha

[donmasaru18]

sorry man couldnt listen it to the end. i fell a sleep after 4 secs.

[Lightscameraashlee]

sends me to sleep, i love it :)

[Cheatskills]

kinda liked it kuz this is my fav song but halfway through the song u were lil shaky and then dull and gain like a pattern

[bradlesw]

no it needs to be sang a lil higher thats all

[KickThePj]

but it's his own take on the song, otherwise wouldn't you say it needs to be played faster? this was a great one edd :)

[tcornell05]

its nice of you to stick up for this guy, but its true. It needs to be an octave higher.

[KickThePj]

You're missing my point, the original is an actave higher, yes, but if someone does an arrangement of a song, the point of it is to change it to fit a different style.

[yayrappelz]

Gotta say it - hate The Killers, love this cover.

[BOBDIVER9]

thought you were amazing,

i think nickleback-gotta be somebody would really suit you, you should give it ago

[RabidChipmunk92]

I love this song! I had more of a comment, but got sidetracked, so now I don't remember it, sorry. . .

[b1itzr4ng3]

blocked nose ? lol

[jordyc07]

I agree- good singer though

[giaco2010]

to slow

[leontheking21]

i made u neutral lol

[stagesofobsession]

sing an octave higher

[eragon33]

no, that is his style

[Frantabulous]

have to say, though this grew on me as i listened on, it's not you're best mate- in my opinion

[1maegan13]

Incredible !

[Gazspurs]

Frank Ribery?

[zecksch3n]

haha i first saw this video in summer last year and i still like it ^^ i love this version :)

[EpiSGMPmusic]

i like it, real chilled out

[mjturny23]

Cool, you have a great voice.

[themodi1990]

nice cover, good voice!! but it's indeed a bit slow

[mooney2k7]

shiteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! its to slow mate

[bloodymirrow]

i love your voice!!!

[Leene92XuNdXHenry09]

WOW! When you started to sing I just thought: "WOOOOOW!

Unbelievable amazing voice!

[PeteWNo1Fan]

wow... i really really love this version of the song!! <33

[bigdaddyl151991]

you look like a dork

[eddplant]

you clearly have a great knowledge of music, thanks for your constructive comment :)

[ruthjackson23]

hahahahahha well said

[prittee1]

lol@noob

[natthannn]

good cover, but he is true, lol.

[Shrimptowers]

It's like Nick Cave covering The Killers. That voice just doesn't look like it belongs to you - but amazing cover, nice job !

[SimianTheBand]

Your voice is really good.

[DJE179]

I love this song so much more now. You have a real talent Ed. Thank you for sharing this and being on YouTube, you give me hope there is a great outcome yet to be discovered.

[myChocolateArmy]

i was just listening to the original version, and i actually prefer this version. and this is one of my favourite songs

[EinerVonMilliarden]

Like it very much

[conspiredhope]

Love it. Amazing. ;-)

[mamzellvinc <]

hou magnifique!
