look guys. The bottom line is that it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out on youtube. Especially when people with a lot of talent still get shithead comments from fatties living in their mom's basement. You just can't win.
Hey Kelsey, I love your cover of this song and I've been trying to find tabs for it everywhere, but they all sound a bit off (or maybe it's my hearing). Could you tell me the chord progression and if you use a capo? Would be SO appreciated :) Keep playing!
i'm very impressed with your musical taste, in all of your covers. this is easily one of my favorite shins songs, and you pulled it off flawlessly. you should do turn a square or something of the sort, that would be just as fantastic, I'm sure!
would you get mad if a god eat you lap top? cuz if you sit there you would lol i had to go buy a new one today cuz my old one came out the wrong end of my dog lol i love how you had your own little boom to your song
Ease on the vibrato girl, you have a gentle voice don't overdo it ;] - Try to use the voice vibrato on random places where the song lacks color. Else splendid
So glad my husband has a Young Pilgrims cover and your cover came up as a related video. You're songs... covers and originals and truely enjoyable. Everything about you is beautiful and you're only 16. You've got so much ahead of you. Good luck in everything... take everything as it comes and learn from it (and write us songs about it).
You have a lovely voice. I appreciate the simplicity in your delicate tone. Stick with it!! As your confidence grows, resist the temptation to hide your vulnerability (it's a good thing).
i agree with jonhimself, you have to put your own style into a song, or else your not a musician with your own style your just a copycat, i think she did a great job even though u think her tempo was "off" LOL
Coming from someone who's played for six years...I definitely disagree. Covers are not suppose to be like the creator. If they were, I wouldn't listen to anyone but the Shins Version...because there'd be no point. I think the Shins might look at this song and be like...hey...lets try this tempo...she might be onto something.
@JonHimself I agree a hundred percent with you, Jon. I love how she change the vocal melody slightly and the tempo, and the strumming pattern. I think this is a great cover. I like it equally as much as the original. It's got a mellower style. And the vocals are perfect. :)
your playing is wonderful both on the instrument and in your vocals however NEVER practice without a metronome. the shins do it at about 120. i say this because your tempos aren't entirely solid. i will get tons of shit for this comment because narrow minded retards can't recognize constructive criticism and advice. even if it comes from a professional musician...keep at it girl you rock my world !
Who cares if the shins do it at 120. She's doing her own version and can speed up parts if she feels like it. Playing an emotional song like a metronome is about as narrow minded as it gets. It's called feel dude.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i respect your opinion however i must disagree. uneven tempos make for uneven phrases which leave the song sounding...uneven. don't get me wrong she nailed it, but what separates good musicians from great musicians is striving as close to perfection as you can.
The vibrato in my voice is completely natural, it's all just a package deal. I don't usually force it, it just comes with the way I sing :] I've always had a shaky fragility in my voice.. It shows
I'm sure the Shins would be overly proud. This is a great cover, and your voice is lovely as always. I like the way you strum the song. It's very nice. It does that song justice. Keep it up. Looking forward to more songs. Perhaps even an original maybe?
this is the only good cover ive ever seen!!! youre an amazing artist. and to top it off youre freaking gorgeous!
