[mdrheedhuan]

Hye Im from malaysia and need a comment on my cover videos :))

[itsamemyleo]

Man this is really good! Strong vocals with great guitar-ing... Guiatring isn't a word, is it? Nah, it's not.

[HopelesslyAmerican]

I heard this from you a while ago, really loved it, but when I went away and came back today I couldn't remember your username or what song you did so I clicked through Liam Dryden's tumblr (which is where I found it :s) to page 120 just to find you...... great cover:3

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@HopelesslyAmerican hahaha, thanks for putting in the effort!

[HopelesslyAmerican]

@MusicFromBlueSkies I'm super happy I did!!

[indicat33]

Yeah I agree with all the rest. DAMN good job on this cover!!! Keep it up.

[SpaceCadetLaserCat]

I'm in so much love with you. Your voice is super amazing it's inexplicable :,)

P. S. I've replayed this...a couple hundred times...

[MemphisBelle96]

this is the best cover of this song i have ever heard. your voice is amazing!

[tripl3try]

Nice cover, loved the editing job, too!

[murderyourdarlings01]

[ChrisMarie93]

Ah! Hello there. I'm in love with this. You are brilliant! Then again I am quite partial to The Strokes ;) Fabulous job!

[Lauraatje01]

This one actually made me speechless.. I like it :)

What electric guitar do you have there?

[h4rrycl4rk]

@Lauraatje01 i think it's an Epiphone Dot



[OnlineGamer117]

No way, I loved this. Awesome cover, keep this up! What video editing software did you use?

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@OnlineGamer117 thanks! I use Final Cut.

[TykOsst]

[venusazem]

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@rischgeima haha, thanks... I think you win the languages game!

[rischgeima]

@rischgeima *if you started

haha

[festrokes]

your voice is like nico of the velvet underground, nice

[forestbansh]

OH EM GEE! ! I love The Strokes!

[y0viv0cantand0]

my god this is beautiful, musically and aesthetically. you're gorgeous.

[oreos26]

Is that a Sheraton?

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@oreos26 yep.

[MrGiraffe66]

You have a great voice! I'm really impressed with this video, :)

[relttilhannah]

You are such an amazing musician. Keep at it because you definitely deserve to go far!

[doodledog66]

I love this so much!!



[StephAteYourEars]

I follow a lot of musicians on YT, but you're the only one I've listened to from the start and never ceases to amaze and to fascinate me. You're brilliant.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@StephAteYourEars thanks Steph, means a lot! :)

[jebonlalok]

what mic preamp u use?

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@jebonlalok I run everything through an Alesis MultiMix 12.

[eventosxinum]

buenisimo!saludos desde argentina

[TheHanieSorayaO]

You should make more the strokes cover ! -3

[lgsnowboarder]

you're wearing a bright eyes shirt so you're already amazing

[heber78]

jajajaj,refine the voice

[KekseLena]

the songs that you cover are always so great!! and its not always the same songs

[Connarhea]

Awesome video and great cover of a brilliant song :)

[SeanieBlahBlah]

There's Strokes songs about with just the vocals. Julian misses notes, slurs and makes dinosaur noises for most of Reptilia. You don't notice it with the music though :)

[KickenItOldSchool]

@SeanieBlahBlah In my opinion i kinda like that its more raw you know

[SeanieBlahBlah]

@KickenItOldSchool Oh yeah man! I love the Strokes :)

[HigherLove70]

Love this interpretation, vocals are right on time and the chord work is exceptional

[ashleysmashli]

Amazing. I Can't....

I just....

I feel like I have forgotten the English language.

[thalestrokes]

nice job, when you sing, try to scream less. but still congratulations

[DennisVernier]

Dave, this is really nice! First time I've heard this song. Really nice song and performance!

[allanmindingo]

foi cantar, cagou tudo!

[CrissyIsMySlave]

<3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[budiharo]

big applause!!! love it bro.

[Alicee687]

Dave in full HD. All my dreams are coming true.

[musichelpsmethru]

LOL! plus i was raised in carolina LMAO! and i love that line, as much as i listen and try to place double meaning, like maybe that was what she said to you? or surely she is saying she was? and is being all "charleston on ya?" the way u say it is priceless, and yes! u leave just enough out! im SO curious, anyways i decided, either way, the people in my home town are all stuck up, sort of damn narrowminded, idk. ORrrrrrr,,,,, yeah, so was i !!, i discect every song i here can ya tell?:)

[musichelpsmethru]

i just love this song. 'was an honest man" "i dont see it that way" LOVE the way u say that!

[indescribable7sanny]

you can good play guitar but i don't like your voice at this song.

[Alexisnotburning]

This is such a great cover. I didn't even realise there were no drums in. As soon as you started sing I was like woooooow.

[forgivemeloveology]

This is absolutely brilliant! You've grasped the raspyness Julian has in his voice but really added a soft undertone, it works really well. It's actually nicer to listen to then the original. Super job!

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@forgivemeloveology thanks! :)

[Beci1509]

I actually perfer this to the original... But that might be because I think you're prettier, and I prefer the style. 

[hirziify]

you're a GREAT MUSICIAN! you really are. you played the notes perfectly. but you can't sing this song. you can play it well though. but in other songs, you sing better than this. i'm serious. but i can see it that you sing it happily.

[ThisIzJon]

strokes cover made my day.



[Mjanevdm]

Bright Eyes shirt and Strokes cover makes for an awesome video.

[StardustBeatle1039]

Wow! You look fantastic in HD. :) Love the split screen as well.

[instrumentalheart]

Why are there no people this fantastic in the US?

[DreamingMe]

I love this song, I love the cover. This is great :)

[definitelyoverrated]

You should've been on the Tribute to Is This It, instead of all those terrible covers they had on there, this was by far the best Strokes cover I've heard so far. And you deserve extra credit for not using that voice effect Julian is using all the time, I think he sounds much better without it.

[sakura32796]

I love seeing you in HD, Dave!

And I love this cover as well :)

[LifeNeedsWork]

so beautiful



[BriBryontour]

Ahhh one of my fav-wit Strokes songs. Wonderful.

[TheMadameButterflies]

This was great Dave! Love the new camera and different angles :D and song of course

[Shauzia3]

you're in 1080 waaaahhh

[mahoupanda]

This is amazing! When you cover Take It Or Leave It my life will be complete:D

[RileyAndCompany]

Amazing cover! And I'm pretty sure this is going to set me off on a long listening marathon with The Strokes. Keep up the great work!

[omgitskatlynn]

this is probably my favourite cover you've ever done. amazing.

also, i think you may have brought back my old obsession with the strokes.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@TheeSophieGirl I'm in, call Conor and we'll talk!

[SeanieBlahBlah]

Fuck, it did not take you long to get this together. I never thought your old camera was bad but this is just gorgeous :)

One of my favourite Strokes songs. That sudden pause is class :)

I like the close ups on the guitar after the solo, and the quick shots at the end are class =D

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@SeanieBlahBlah I love a good pause!

[MachoBlisen]

I miss the crunchy sound the old camera made when it was turned off.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@MachoBlisen We haven't heard this one's crunch yet, who knows what we could be in for!

[woodlandfox2112]

this got me all charged up for a concert I'm afraid I'll have to wait years to experience (ever in the U.S.?) -- but I love the installment !! camera work was nicely, nicely done, right down to the trimming on the fingernails. but the story (song) was crisp and vibrant. there were moments I knew where the song was going and that excited me, and others where I was along for the ride, which ended up delighting me. thank you so much, Dave.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@woodlandfox2112 haha, thank you Mr. Fox! Glad you enjoyed it. The U.S. is a long way but I want it to happen. As soon as I'm confident a tour could break even I'll be there.

[NessaR12]

Your music is always really rather fantastic.

Liking the new camera btw. :)

[thesocialnerd]

yay for no blue dots!

[andrephx90]

This is great!

[pheebs66]

AHHH :D You in 1080p is pretty epic

[fashinsta1]

fabulous!

[Reneederland]

Very nice! HD + website are looking fresh!

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@Reneederland thanks!

[randieleanne]

lovely!

[owlsongs]

Great song!!! Truly fantastic! On a side note, I managed to convince my parents to help me get a better camera for my birthday last week so I can definitely agree about the excitement over a new camera :D

[raiichii]

You're brilliant.

[Epiphanized]

GLORIOUS HD AND A BLURRY BACKGROUND. YESSS <3

[juliaistrulyawesome]

I've been waiting for another Strokes cover for so long and am not disappointed! Another great cover :D

[jmoody270bc]

:)

[jeaniebaby001]

fun.

[michske86]

So glad to hear your voice again :)

[moodah]

Absolutely gorgeous friend! I'm so glad you're back with more music! My sub box has missed you.

[BeatxByxBeat]

You have such a unique voice, and I really love it. I like a lot of your covers more that the originals simply because I like your voice better then theirs...and for other reasons of course! You're extremely talented, I've missed your videos, keep on being awesome, and thank you for your entertainment!!=]

[nillyvanilla3]

You're back :')

I am blown away by how much Singing Dave in a Bright Eyes Shirt looks like John Cleese at 0:42. Maybe it's just me but I was like :O

[Zoemireille]

I just downloaded all 71 of your songs off mediafire... super happy now :D

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@Zoemireille hahaha, good work. A* for commitment!

[FD286]

good job! I can actually understand what you're saying, as opposed to the original.

I really like this. Then again, I just like your style all the times. :)

[EmilayBemilayDisaray]

Firewallllllll

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@EmilayBemilayDisaray That's a lot of points! Are they redeemable for goods and/or services?

[EmilayBemilayDisaray]

@MusicFromBlueSkies I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid those digits have already expired.

[jonnydarkmusic]

Your voice has improved, nice one man :]

[DrGeeky]

This is my favorite song by The Strokes, and your cover is completely amazing.

[effects69]

Awesome!

[Bagoondah]

WHERE DID YOU GET THE T-SHIRT?! Been looking for ages... sounds great to!

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@Bagoondah The Bright Eyes one? That came in a bundle with their new album... From the Saddle Creek store.

[Beci1509]

I'm not sure what it is about your voice, but I love it. :)

[raggamuffins13]

If you did more live shows, I would come to every one.

[Cadegoestocollege]
