Bathroom Sessions - Distant Sun Barenaked Ladies

[MsConfettiEd]

BNL and Crowded House! Yes!!!

[Narcissisticnobody]

I LOVE BNL & I LOVE Crowded House. What a perfect combination <3

[gasmmusic]

Got any more covers from these sessions?

[gasmmusic]

This is awesome. I love it!

[skipplet]

I like this version better than Crowded House.

[Ryouheiron]

You've no idea how much better my week is now that I've found this :D

[enviroguy101958]

So many of Neil Finn's songs can be performed so well Solo (in the bathroom) and with a full backup which makes them so versatile. It sure soesn't hurt that Ed is doing this either.

[basil226]

luscious9lips, Erm! Let me guess? Your'e about 14 years old right? Most adolescents only have a limited taste in music but you'll change as you mature and I'm sureyou'll grow to appreciate a wide range of music. So just chill ok?

[luscious9lips]

SUCK!!! Just mediocre noise, bitches! Drone music for drone fans!

[rtortore]

Ah the musical connoisseur with the mouth of a sailor.

Remember dont go away mad just go away.

[danrobbo]

What I love about this is that I posted this over a year ago, and it still gets comments... Everything bout BNL rocks. They are talented, funny, and produce amazing private moments like the bathroom sessions. I am glad I could provide some extra special covers not on anywhere else. Merry Xmas to you all... Dan

[Barenakedfanband]

@danrobbo oh wait, this is not a BNL tune?

[Coolhand99au]

Nice Cover Mate

Love the precussive strumming

Geez your voice sounds good!

Is that because of the acoustics in the Loo?

Cheers

Coolhand

[rtortore]

I would love to know what strumming pattern he is using.

BTW Coolhand99au - that isn't Danrobbo, that is Mr. Ed Robertson - BNL frontman.

[SpiritsOfSound]

sehr geil gesungen und gespielt! bin ein fan!

[mccormack9]

Extremely talented. I am impressed... He probably could do a very good cover version of don't dream its over.

[shandog1079]

Well done! Love the interpretation of a brilliant Crowded House song.

[gasmmusic]

Truly awesome.

[adamgore1]

i think that this is definatly better then crowed house's version

[mccormack9]

Its very well done, yet "better" is subjective. I have seen CH perform it live several times, and their live versions take on a new life.

[StirlingSweetie]

I just had to comment again. That Mrs. Robertson is one lucky woman!

[ringoffirejc]

nice! I got it burned to a cd!

[54spiritedwill54]

Wow! Another really nice one:)

[StirlingSweetie]

I no longer have ovaries; however, if I did have them they would be imploding. Anything Ed sings sends chills...I would soooooo leave my husband for him!

[dsv513]

Lmfao dude... too bad for your husband xD

[StirlingSweetie]

Lol...my husband says he wouldn't blame me! He jokes that if he played for the other team that HE might leave me for Ed!

[paytertje]

TREASON!

[hschuetzler]

Wow!!!!!

[claireoujisama]

...okay, yeah, so my ovaries just imploded. I thought nothing could be better than hearing Neil and Tim perform this two feet from my head, but GODDAMN.

Incidentally, the song uses the chords Eb, Ab, Cm, F9/A, Fm7, Bb, Ab/Eb, Eb/Bb, and Abmaj7, from what this book in front of me is telling me. I assume if you gave it a go, Krusty, you'd be able to see what goes where. ;)

[krusty36m]

thank you thank you thank you

I am still working at it, I think I almost have it.

If I get it I will try to post it on here.

[bucjo813]

gorgeous. most people manage to ruin this song but he adds a lovely touch. i love his prominent Rs.

[soulcornflake]

Hopefully Neil's heard this version. Amazing cover.

[baranyandi]

That is my favourite Crowded House song I think. And I love the Ladies, so this is very cool :)

[krusty36m]

could someone please tell me the chords for this on the guitar?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

HAHA

Seriously

I can only see so much on the screen, damn 24 inch screen still isn't enough...

[finn94]

Ed Robertson covering Neil Finn. I think I just wet myself.

[adamchu2002]

Fantastic guitar playing! Great job.

[cindyb29]

ohhh he has an awesome voice to cover this song... i didnt think anyone could do it aswell as neil finn, but he sure can.. love the song, love ed to

[Pookiebear1978]

This video that the barenaked Ladies put on here had really touched my heart.. By the way its me pook and if any of the barenaked ladies reads this I really liked this Video..

Thank you (ED) love always Pookiebear

[PatsyS3]

Excellent Crowded house cover.....

From The Cd 'Together Alone'

[leinaalaomeliac]

ed+neil= <33333

Mahalo for this awesome bathroom track!

[goofybutkind]

uhm...how does a little boy go from a distant sun to daarth vaader? is that the missing evloutional link? should this be studied?

[squeekytoy123]

Where is this from?! I thought I knew all [..ok most] of their stuff...

[Martyrockon]

This is a crowded House song, Fantastic band from New Zealand. But Ed has really done it justice. Well done!

[sparxjes92]

It's a cover of a Niel Finn song, I think...

:]

[goofybutkind]

john riley lives on...7 years...forever...

[goofybutkind]

seven worlds collide...please hurry them up...collide already...

[jft24]

Holy Crap...thank you for posting this...I was just perusing youtube to see if Ed had any new songs in the BR Sessions and I saw Distant Sun and my first thought was...no way...it must be a different Distant Sun...I am pretty thrilled to see Ed cover this...this is one of my favorite songs of all time and BNL is one of my favorite bands (probably just below Crowded House)...you have made by day by posting this!

[danrobbo]

Happy Xmas.... what are you getting for me?!

[danrobbo]

its a crowded house cover mate

[Ranger03Mike86]

awesome song, anyone know what album (if any) this song is on?

[livinforjayflash]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the Bathroom sessions with a higher audio quality? like at least 44Khz, as opposed to FLV shittness.

[danrobbo]

no idea mate...

[322444456]

WOW... i'm like even more in love with ED's voice.... mmmmmmmmmmmmXD

can't get enough of him

one of the most attactive men out there(I think)

LOVE THE BATHROOM SESSION

... and love this song.

[Cameragirl803]

Wow! Another really nice one:) Love the changes in this one:0) 5*****jane

[MekishikoNoNeko]

¡Cómo me gustó este cover!

I really liked this cover!

Salute!

[danrobbo]

Bueno!

[gazzaha]

Quality

[danrobbo]

Glad you like mate!

[danrobbo]

update... silence... so keep on enjoying!

[proudgonzo]

wow, i'd never heard this song before. It's beautiful.

[danrobbo]

good old crowded house!

[Noiseworker]

It's a cover of a Crowded House track...

[Noiseworker]

The song is originally by Crowded House - their music is definitely worth exploring!

[goofybutkind]

i don't think my belovED realizes what a subtle genius he is with guitar or that his voice is that of a male angel...though "distant" i pray he never forgets he resides inside of me forever...

[danrobbo]

errrrrr.... what?

[goofybutkind]

esoteric babblin' dannyboy:-\...see that face with the "crookED" smirk? just babbling brook dearee...

[weejasper]

hey wha'dya think of my cover of this??

[danrobbo]

excellent work mate!

[goofybutkind]

edmysun. i'm ed-centered!!!!!!!

[danrobbo]

who are you talking to!?

[weejasper]

hey man this is a good cover of a favourite song by one of my fav artists. thanks for posting and I agree, bnl would want this here.. cheers. ps bnl & crowded house are both bands I like

[danrobbo]

good good... glad you like.. thanks for your comment and keep enjoying!

[bsumms11]

Nice work danrobbo. Don't listen to these yahoo's. They need to get off their tower. Great version.

[danrobbo]

Finally a positive comment!! Thanks!!

NOTE TO ALL: I HAVE MESSAGED BNL ASKING IF THEY MIND... AND IF THEY TELL ME THEY DO MIND... I WILL REMOVE... IF NOT.. THEY STAY... AND MORE WILL FOLLOW!

[therealshell]

I'm actually surprised that the video is still here.

[danrobbo]

WHY?

[amusingsbnl]

i agree with the hypo... not sure where you obtained the video, but there may be a reason why ed/nettwerk didn't post it into the actual bathroom sessions that bnl music has been posting.

it's a great cover, wonderful tune... you must have been thrilled to share it but sometimes, well. sometimes there are reasons hyw stuff doesn't get shared...

[danrobbo]

I really dont get what you are all saying here... it was not stolen, it just isnt posted by the band.... chill out! I will post what I want, I am not making any money from  it either!

[TheHYPO]

Nothing personal against you, but if there was a reason the band/netwerk didn't post it (perhaps copyright, perhaps not wanting it out there for other reasons), maybe it shouldn't be posted by someone else... Just a thought.

[danrobbo]

nothing personal against you either but if you knew anything about BNL you would know that they WANT people to find things like this, just as they want you to film the concerts and things like that... because ALL bnl fans still but their albums.. and you cant buy the Bathroom Sessions because they are free to view on Youtube and their website. But thanks for your concern!

[reallymzungu]

Cool! I was wondering if there would ever be another. Wherever it came from...

[therealshell]

Very nice rendition of a nifty song.

You rock, Ed !!

[danrobbo]

I am not ED, bu thanks! I will pass it on!

[quinbooka]

This is beautiful!

How did you get this?

[danrobbo]

I was given a link to a file share folder that has LOADS in it, and they are all brilliant....

I just HAD to share this version of my favourite Crowded House song by my Favourite band!
