Basket (Dan Mangan cover)

[maddieclarksonxoxo]

Thanks so much! and I love this cover it is the best i've seen. Your voice is beautiful.

[maddieclarksonxoxo]

Hi! Im trying to learn how to play this song but I can't figure it out! In the verses, what strings are you strumming/tabbing? I am playing E but can't get it :S

@maddieclarksonxoxo I just posted a tab in the video description -- YouTube wouldn't let me reply directly to your comment for some reason.

[agardner007]

beautiful job.  thanks for sharing

[Rhibbler022]

You are wonderfully talented; thanks for sharing. I'd love to hear a whole album of your work, but after looking around the interwebs it seems that you only have this channel. The world needs more raw emotion like this expressed in music.

[PoetryAddict8]

This is great. I keep trying to cover this song but I can't strum that fast, I got too comfortable with finger picking.

You do the buildup of this song EXTREMELY well

[Polipotame]

Great voice !

[bigandtall]

well done - great version

[Incon7]

Beautifully done. I think I just fell in love. Hope the hand is doin' better!

[JimmyChiffels]

Love the suspense in this song.

[marcusfenixcoolio]

Bloody well done.

[meloves1person]

honestly , i don't want to compare you and dan mangan , but you sing the song at a much better angle. it's nice to see someone with such a soft nice and perfectly pitches voice singing this song. it almost seems as if its your own song. your very talented. i only listen to your cover, its amazing :D

[mauramercury]

@meloves1person Thank you so much for your kind words!

[doublej42]

Thank you. It's cool hearing a female voice on this song.

[FiveDollarFilm]

I feel real shallow for asking this but could someone help me with the plucking patterns on this song? This is an amazing song (and you sing it wonderfully btw ), and i would love to learn how to play it.

[mauramercury]

@FiveDollarFilm If you still need help I just posted a tab in the video description!

[mericsso]

You have a great voice!

[TheRedBayonet]

Incredible performance. Really captivating.

[InchAnHour]

Incredible, I'm hopeful for more!

[mauramercury]

@InchAnHour

Thank you! I will try to find the time to post another one as soon as I can.

[InchAnHour]

Truly outstanding, I'm hoping for more!

[thepatient666]

Wow, amazing!! Marry me! :P

This is wicked. I love this song so much.

[JuliaLovesThings]

I really adore Dan Mangan, and you did a super incredible job. I admire you. :D

[realise3d]

Really, really great....

Your voice really complements the song.

[BlueBusProductions]

great job. you've got a lovely voice, love to hear more Mangan covers... Dan's the man. Cheers!

[01kii]

This is so incredibly beautiful. You have done a brilliant job, and have a fabulous voice.

[CM29036]

dude your a fairly good singer, compared to all these losers up here(:

[lintu2007]

great job

and thanks for help on this song =)

[AdySaysMaybe]

Maura, you are my new hero. I love this, even with the burnt hand!

[igotoyorku]

hey! great job.

Dan Mangan is brilliant.

[Leslie1988]

a few month ago i was searching for dan mangan covers.. and finally i found one.. and i love it :) i love his music and u did a real good job.. nice nice very nice, id say ;)

[mauramercury]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

[stephenr80]

nice, i play some songs from him, and this is the one i never play because it is very personal and because of the end, which i find amazing when performed by Dan

[topicaltyrant]

Naturally I was skeptical, as I am with most covers, but this is great.

I think Dan would be flattered to know people are covering his songs already, I know him personally and I'm going to make sure to pass this onto him

[mauramercury]

Thank you so much! I've actually met Dan before (I did a small youth songwriting workshop with him), and I certainly hope he would be flattered too! I'm glad you liked it. I'm usually skeptical of covers too, particularly covers of songs that I am absolutely in love with like this one.

[Jman9089]

I have never commented about anything on this site, but I had to for this cover. I didn't think anyone could do it better than Dan Mangan but you proved me wrong. Keep making lovely music!

[mauramercury]

Wow, thank you so much. I definitely will. =)

[seanA090]

you shouldn't downplay your talent by talking about tuning your guitar, and your hand and stuff. you're really good. you don't need excuses

[mauramercury]

Thank you. =) I'll try to remember that in the future.

[steely55]

Beautiful voice! I hope your hand feels better soon...

[mauramercury]

It's much better now, thank you!

[mickeyturtlebot]

Not only are you beautiful and talented, but you are also unafraid of putting your hand in the fire.

Hardcore, Maura. Hardcore.

♥

P.S. Send me a postcard from places.

P.P.S. You know, because you're going places.

P.P.P.S. Like, "Man, that girl is going to go places."

[mauramercury]

@mickeyturtlebot Teeheehee! I will definitely send you postcards. Also, you are unbelievably awesome and hilarious. <3

[aznfyrepixie]

Oh Maura, when you played this for Brianne's little house warming party I cried inside (my real tears are reserved for this goddamn canker sore I have and the abuse I'm putting it through). From 2:30 and onward I get chills down my spine and my stomach feels sick, my body breaks out in sweat and (imaginary) tears beacause this song and you playing it is so goddamn fucking beautiful. <3

[mauramercury]

@aznfyrepixie Wow, I'm honored that my rendition made you feel something, especially something so intense. I hope that's a good thing. XD

[caughtinlimbo]

Maura you're wearing my shirt!

[caughtinlimbo]

Oh, also, this is lovely. You already know I think that.

[mauramercury]

@caughtinlimbo I am wearing your shirt! I wore it to work today as well cause it's a damn good shirt. :P And, yeah, but it's still nice to hear. :)

[laboressolis]

very nice

[mauramercury]

@laboressolis Thank you!

[SneakyEdna]

We want More Maura.

[mauramercury]

@SneakyEdna I'll do my best!
