I disagree. He's ok and his guitar playing is not bad, but please - listen to some Simon&Garfunkel here on youtube and see if he's similar. S&G blow him away with their lyrics and melodies. Not to mention the most notable thing about S&G were their incredible harmonies. How can he be "the next" if he's just a one-man band? Duh. Those "critics" probably just hear acoustic guitar and lump all folk artists together. Booo.
@CloverDealman have you not heard his incredible songs with incredible harmonies? a lot of his songs have amazing harmonies and although S&G were good, he has a huge fanbase that just keeps growing every day and that would be for a good reason. and watching this video you can clearly see he is not a one man band. just sayin.
@GayrotKnizite Nope, haven't seen those videos. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I will check it out and may stand to be corrected regarding his harmonies. Nonetheless, let's see if he can write an "American Tune" or "Sounds of Silence." Then I'll be willing to compare. Mostly I just get sick of hearing newer artists compared to older artists by calling them "the next___" Let Joshua Radin or whomever else just be themselves. Anyway, Thanks for the response.
love his hat . i have been thinking getting one for my man but i dont think he will wear it. he likes his baseball caps too much. heck, he is getting one of those hats i hve decided lol
i think it was b4,bcuz u can c that this video has been uploaded on aug. 24,2008 and ellen and portia got maried on aug. 16..ellen doesn't tape her show during summer :)
@ange4236 yeah, they do. i have this exact version, well, the studio, not the live, but it sounds exactly like this, and I got it off aus iTunes. I just searched 'Joshua Radin' and it came up.
Such a brilliant musician. Unlike many artists these days (whose lyrics are shallow and meaningless), Radin's lyrics are poetic and 'honest'. He doesn't write to impress, but he writes to convey an emotion. I have a lot of respect for him
shes actually friends with zach braff and he introduced them cause she was lookin for someone to play at her wedding and zach said he knew someone n when she asked what he sounded like joshua's song came on lol
I got 6 thumbs down on my last comment -.- But i still think The first Version of Today is SO much better.. all the songs he remade he just made them worse.. but BEFORE he remade then, the untouched versions were purely amazing and i love them, listen to them all the time but the remade ones are not so good.. weird singing + music.. like in this one the singing out of sync somehow.. doesnt "beatride" well :P cant explain it..
I found Joshua Radin when he had that four song EP out with that girl...I forget her name.
but it had winter closer and sky on it.
But since he put out 'simpler times' it seems the remakes of all of his songs use the same 3 chord fingerpicking pattern. And his singing voice is always unpredictable.
I still enjoy his music a lot...he is deffinately one of my influences musically. :]
I think he was in...Munich, Hamburg and Berlin....:S Now he's already gone. It was amazing. You can watch a video from his show in Berlin where he sings Vegetablecar *__*
After the show my friends and me talked to him and his band and we were just like....OMG WFT xDD We couln't believe it. You HAVE to see him someday. ;)
Oh, btw, are you German? Cause I actually AM German xD
You merely search for Joshua Radin's debut album titled "We Were Here" in the search bar, and purchase track titled "Today". I would recommend looking into a purchase of the entire album as it truly is a masterpiece.
hello everyone,does anyone know where to get a version of this song with the girl back up singer:) i would like to have this song played at my wedding but i only have 2weeks left :0
