Dance of the Manatee - Fair to Midland - (Acoustic Cover)

[m22klars]

Wow... I didn't even like this song before. Well played sir.

[Kerfuffleinahussle]

@m22klars You didn't?! :O

[TheFuzzyBard]

@diskarn8 WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!

[123unknownsoldier126]

Wow! This is amazing

[starfishprimestudios]

how can this be disliked? serious.

[ninjapie117]

Wow. I am blown away at how good this was. Best FTM cover on YouTube.

[erbonetti]

I LOVED this, i just wish you would have said the simple word WE before Marys every time

[zeizix]

Original pure talent, this is so close to be better than the original version

Congrats from Brazil!

[MrXxjeaxx]

What's the guitar model?



[Tran722]

Dude that was phenominal, you have amazing range, Darroh would be proud to hear this cover.

[TheRoskar83]

grat cover man

[RaiRaisWonderland]

pure awesomeness Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

[evileva787]

throat singing made me orgasm... man i jizzed everywhere... lemme go clean that up...

[TheDansterrrr]

what do you use to record with?!

[Einheerjar]

Love the Kargyraa Throat singing! Could I ask you to make a cover of Would from Alice in Chains?

[davebidz55]

This is amazing.

[TheHankarens]

the versatility of your vocals is freakish. The 3 libras cover you actually sound like maynard. do you spend a lot of time getting down all the accents on these covers? there all very precise and i respect the shit out of that. i just wonder how you can sound like so many different people, that is a talent i haven't ever seen. whatever you do don't sell out to the american idol BS. what recording software do you use and how the hell do you make the vocals sound so nice? keep writing !

[Phyllotaxismusic]

@TheHankarens I use Pro Tools to record and sometimes Adobe Audition. I don't do much to my vocals but add some compression and reverb. As for my sounding like these vocalists, I don't practice or put that much into it. I guess I just (and I innocently enough thought this was a common skill) remember the way they sing and phrase their words. Thanks for the support man. Greatly appreciated.

[honkingantalope]

@Phyllotaxismusic as a singer myself I had a good life about how it comes naturally and as a ftm man since 07. I feel no one could compare to sudderth but I look forward to listening to your own music. I love the throat singing something diff from the rest I guess sudderth learnt from the eskimos.

[jedimaster0911]

From a fellow musician, this impressed me greatly. Well done!

[rmkinghorn]

Very well done. I am extremely excited that FTM is coming to Salt Lake City Ut. You've done an outstanding job with a difficult crossover and even more difficult vocals. Great pitch, and good acoustic accompaniment.

[jetaimex1]

I love it!! you're amazing!!

[BDean97]

this is amazing dude!

[FyreNail2]

You're my favourite cover artist on youtube, you rule man :)

I don't think you've ever listened to requests/suggestions before but even if you don't want to cover this song I'd reccommend listening to "Lazarus" by Porcupine Tree

[Kjhuston09]

this is reallyyy good. you hit the high notes in the chorus perfectly. the only thing i didn't really like is the way you sing "hold no virtue". i know darroh kinda "growls" that line, but in an acoustic version that FTM did, he sings it cleanly. i dunno i just think it would sound better if you sang that part cleanly instead of growling it.

[TheFuzzyBard]

You should do a cover of Amarillo Sleeps on my Pillow. :D

[zeizix]

Pure Talent

[Exospression]

Waiting for this to become downloadable from your site :P

You've got an EPIC voice. Fair to Midland is my favorite band, and I am pleased by this cover. May I request A Loophole in Limbo off their new album?

Or Nutshell by Alice in Chains?

All of your other covers are amazing. I'll be buying your album from iTunes.

Keep it up!

[elreymidasargentino]

que talento musical!!! ya tienes que grabar con una disquera de renombre y salir de gira...exitos!!! argentina.-

[semassunto]

Man, i would never expect a good cover like this... don't get me wrong, this shit is amazing... but darrots voice is so singular that i thought no one could make a cover gets interesting. I as wrong... you have a incredible voice, a good sense for music interpretation wich is essencial for covering FTM. Thank you for this... you deserve nothing but the best.

[Davee102]

nice, shit nice! i hear it every day :D check my songs if you want

[ShredMasterDelux9000]

Wow, this is incredible :o.

I actually stopped and listened to the whole thing, which is ridiculous because I never actually stop to listen to vocal covers.

Keep it up man.

[mehothra]

you, sir, are an inspiration!

[LPmusicLP]

Love You

[TheMast0don]

I've always found it interesting to hear an artists interpretation of someone elses music. You stayed fairly true to the original, and I think you did as good as anyone could have hoped for when covering FTM. Spectacular on all accounts.

And I was quite surprised that you knew how to throat sing! Spot on, and keep it up!

[TheProluthier]

If I was a manager, I definitely give you a chance...

I just suggest you to always keep everything simple.

Don't put to much effects on everything. Less noise gate.Less compression.

I will be pleased to buy an album when you make one soon!

[Phyllotaxismusic]

@TheProluthier Already have an album. My band is called phyllotaxis. Thanks for the support.

[rockmusictilldeath]

Pretty pimp shit. I think that you have the talent, but you are no Darroh Sudderth. Though that should not be a slam on your singing because no one will ever be like him. I do like how you sing " we mary's had ourselves a ball".

[xxXWingsXInXWarXxx]

Try to enunciate a bit more, otherwise pretty awesome. ^^

[MRm0ta]

awesome covers man my fav is panic prone, hey but do u have any more of your own music, besides hearsay ofcourse lol ive heard that one like 20 times already lol

[jarraflies]

@MRm0ta Yeah he does. Hes got an entire album and its awesome. I highly recommend it. You can buy it on itunes. Search for "Phyllotaxis - To All of Your Beliefs"

[arronmetallica]

Amazing man, check out my loopholes cover ;)

Was wondering how you manage to do the growl section and if it hurts your voice? I've yet to find a way haha

[guitardwight]

WOW, fantastic job!

[maryvillereb2003]

holy shit 

[rockguy654]

fucking amazing dude.. wow.. i got chills

[fullreleaseblake]

Been watching the guys in Fair to Midland for a long time (ran sound for them at a hole in the wall bar outside of Houston once), they'd be proud of the justice you've done their song. Great job!

[seanioreilly]

DEADLY! :O)

[tickly0]

what kind of sound system are you using?



[Dakchi]

only 481 views? one of the best covers, tho you have a different a voice you made all the parts really similar and this is so rare in hard-singing songs...

[annasghay]

this is pretty awesome. your singing suits this song

[Szlachtens]

OMG, OOOOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!!!! O.O

[train9771]

you should really consider doing a Days of the New cover. Their style would seem to fit you quite well. this was quite good by the way.

[greatdane1911]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PackersBearsFan3]

Really well done

[PackersBearsFan3]

@PackersBearsFan3 Although it would have been nice to hear you sing their acoustic version, it still sounds amazing regardless. Great band, aren't they? haha

[TheZztop99]

dude again, absolutely fantastic, epic, bloody hell i could go on!!!

[91tt300zx]

Can you please do "A loophole in limbo"??? Awesome covers man,this is my favorite so far

[betterthandirt]

Holy. Shit.

[ckk1106]

Man, you are freakin talented.

[starfishprimestudios]

this is frikkin awesome dude!

[MrBrandonHoltBatio]

Wow. Talk about creativity. I love your music. The originals are the best. Hearsay is just so strong. I love the grunge soul in there. Perfect.

[ckk1106]

Sounds great. Although I hesitate to post because I don't think you even read these posts. If you do you don't respond to them.

[Phyllotaxismusic]

@ckk1106 I read every one of them. I have thousands of comments though and I'd rather not clutter every vid with "thank yous". I do appreciate all the feedback I get though. Thanks.

[atrthefallofideals]

@Phyllotaxismusic is there any where i can download your album dude, i loved hearsay and judging by that, i'd say you've made a pretty awesome album. also thanks for posting this cover, its gotten me into Fair to Midland

[Phyllotaxismusic]

@atrthefallofideals My music is available on itunes and many other online retailers. Soon I'll have it up for purchase on my website. Just search for Phyllotaxis. Thanks for the support.
