Elliott Smith - Between The Bars

[mzaphod]

Keep coming back to this one. It's perfect.

[HarrisonWoodMusic]

...You ARE Ben Folds' bassist. Right?

Either way, you're rockin'.

[SmittenKittenKat]

Yes, but was it really YOU playing all those instruments???

[moneyquickeasy]

I don't like his voice. It's a bit weak, in my opinion.

[paaaaigef]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AN AMAZING COVER.

[songburgers]

fabulous

[AMKmusc]

Incredible!

[Seaton6017]

This is great. Elliott Smith is absolutely unbeatable. I'm glad I looked you up after seeing you in SF with Ben Folds. Great show. I look forward to seeing more from you.

[tk1341]

wow!

[Krazystink1]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GAY SHIT. FUCK OFF ASSHOLE YOUR NOTHING COMPARED TO ELLIOT SMITH. STICK TO THAT GAY ELECTRONIC SHIT. LET THE TRUE MUSICIANS PIC UP AN ACOUSTIC.

[yeowlsing]

@Krazystink1 ohhhh to be 21.... you should've stuck with the "i want to kiss your nose" comment. he's got a bloody handsome one, to be honest.

[SileSomers]

@Krazystink1 ehh calm down douche-head, go listen to this guy's other stuff.......

[Bunji2k6]

I keep coming back to this. It echoes in my mind and then I just have to listen to it one more time. It's a happy addiction.

[MouthofaGraveyard]

There have been many interpretations of this song, and it's quite obvious that you didn't just cover it without a deep interpretation behind it. What was your interpretation and inspiration for the way you covered it?

[xXRedrogOXx]

sub'd!

[Xepp375]

hah

[potofgravy]

Top cover.

[Hoohaa61]

OMG...Elliott!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[thehighnumbers4]

This is a great cover yet no one can sing and deliver as much emotion as elliott smith does.

[JeremiahClayton]

I've always had the opinion NOBODY should cover the Beatles or Elliott Smith. Elliott himself proved me wrong about the Beatles, and you've now proven me wrong about Eliiott Smith. Honestly, the best cover song I've ever heard in my life. Absolutely brilliant mate. I look forward to your future.

[simonz350]

hey man, this blew me away... and that doesn't happen all that often, thanks for creating man, keep it up

jamie

[DanzNewzMachinima]

8,888th view... 8 is my favorite number! I've probably watched this 80 times as well... :P

[mellowmoe]

good voice.

amazing arrangement.

imho you should have taken different samples for the snare. they all sound like velocity 127.

[reubenblitz]

I'm loving the acoustic guitar. My uncle has a similar, such a nice sound. Obviously not the same, but the sound off your guitar is equally amazing! And Elliot Smith too? So gooooooood.

[M55ikael]

Great stuff! I subscribed.

What's the riff at about 1:35 again? It's from a different song, I'm sure.

[ryanlerman]

@M55ikael Mmm. Not that I know of. It sprung forth from my brain.

[M55ikael]

@ryanlerman Ok. But I'm definitely sure someone else came up with the same melody line. Not remembering which song is killing me. It's not played on a guitar if I remember correctly though.

[violetsky35]

I enjoyed listening to that. Great cover!!

[Tonehook]

Really well done. Great sonics. Thanks for sharing

[ANDYGLOV3R]

this is brilliant. how did you learn to make videosongs? i'd really like to do some, but i don't know how

[MatthewDeLaGangsta]

you are absolutely amazing!

incredible!

no words can truly express the perfection!

[atogunn]

this was mixed to perfection

[goingforthegold]

holy shit

[travislefebvre]

Incredible. Immaculate mixing.

[QueenSteen17]

I haven't heard the original, but I'm not sure how it could sound better than this..

[lll1424]

@QueenSteen17 Uh, though this is good, it's nothing comparable to the original.

[streetinspired]

nice...nice eyes too!!!!

[srsbee]

Gave me goosebumps.

[beazer32]

this is craaazy good.

[SmellingLikeSophie]

wowowowowow

amazing!!!!

[faireset]

you're a genuine artist, original an elegant performance

may I ask you which camera you used for this video?

[Celestion321]

Firstly, this is an amazing performance. I've never really given Elliott Smith a listen before, despite hearing his name 50 times, but now I'm going to. You're quite talented, good sir.

Secondly, I love that parlor guitar you have. Can you tell me more about it?

[1PATRI0T]

[dalodeper]

I can't say the style of editing didn't remind me of Nataly and Jack but it's still great.  Good job Ryan.

[eahullqu]

Awesome video!

[officialravenzoe]

You blow me away.

[joelcathey]

1:01 = BOMB! Nice job.

[jaredkruger]

For three months I have been waiting for this.

It was worth it.

[temperancing]

Damn Ryan that sounds awesome, Still waiting to see you and frenzy on tour.  Great work.

[dreamerfadesawake]

Love the instrumentation, haven't heard anything like it, particularly for this song.

[pqmusic]

This makes me wish I had the money to buy a good camera and video editing software so I could make VideoSongs. Absolutely phenomenal!

[rickytutaan]

GYPSY!

[louiscolemusic]

Dude this is next level. Seriously. 

[ashwalk85]

You're back!

[blackskyfire]

Wow. You nailed it.

Fantastic.

[StephenJohnMusic]

Love the video. Love the tags even more. I almost wish I could say I first heard you by searching "big tits gorillas".

[davidleduc85]

I must have watched 1:04 about 20 times already. So rad, it hurts!

[davidleduc85]

Holy shit. I am stunned. Excellent, just superb work all around. Audio mixing, video editing, vocal performance, instrumental performance.

Wow. Just wow.
