  • nice

    

  • Beautiful cover :)

  • This is so amazing. Love it.

  • I absolutely adore this cover.

    You two did a great job. (:

  • The guitar on this is absolutely amazing. The whole cover is great.

  • Seriously Brilliant guys! Keep it up!

  • I love this song and you guys do an AMAZING JOB! marry me! haha i love the vocals, shiiii i love the hole thing

  • Fuuuuck... Brilliant guitarist and love your voice duude! Its just really REAL. Love it! 5 Stars from me.

    Only disappointment for me was the chorus, as much as what you guys did still sounds great, its just such a big part of the song when he hits that high falsetto note, i dunno, maybe I'm wrong :)

  • Holy Moses.... This is beautiful!!!

  • Guitar sounds awesome.

  • this chorus is better than the actual song

  • Great. Absolutely beautiful. Nice on the guitar and you have a great voice.

  • Out of curiosity, why did you play it a whole step higher?

  • awesome job

  • aced it.... great job

  • This is really great, I would love if there were some tabs for the guitar piece

  • I was thinking of doing the same thing.. thats an awesome song on piano i want to do it on my acoustic guitar finger style.

    pretty good cover.

  • I cover a song on this album. You guys should check it out. It's a lot like what you guys do. I think you will like it.

  • Man that was great! Very creative, and outstanding vocals. Keep it up.

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs, especially the way Ben chooses to pronounce, "numb." But I have to tell ya' your cover, even though the singer took that verse in an entirely different direction, the power of the lyrics aren't lost to me. Your cover gave me a fresh interpretation. Hope you guys are pursuing music in some way. Don't let RL beat it out of you.

  • great job adding some warmth to this song...fantastic interpretation

  • damn it, I was workin on my own guitar version and I found you guys!!! Thanks for making me feel a lot smaller!!! ;-)

    (btw, Great job!)

  • This absolutely amazing. Brilliant.

  • Very good man! I really enjoyed it. Great vocals and guitar work.

  • voice sounds better than the original

  • THIS COVER IS FUCKING GOOD. AMAZINGLY GOOD. INCREDIBLY GOOD.

    sorry for my language lol

  • BEN FOLDS RULES ALL YOU SEE!!!!!!!

  • Brilliant.

  • WOW i love this alot! great cover! i cant get over how amazing this is lol

  • way to take the original and make it your own.

    sounds amazing.

  • unreal guys. awesome guitar and amazing voice. wonderful

  • solid

  • amazing cover. friggin amazing. anyone else think that this song is about his girlfriend getting an abortion?

  • Never thought about the lyrics really but now you mention it yeah I do.

  • haha its not whether anyone 'thinks' the song is about how his girlfriend in highschool got an abortion and the way he felt/dealt with it. Truly amazing song, and well covered although I think taking it up a key gave it a bit more of a happy feeling, which is okay but I feel like the original key was a perfect match to the lyrics

  • incredible voice !!!!!! and guitar !!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is pretty dam good..great cover

  • I love it when someone takes a great song and makes it even better. I would love to buy this version. Get it on iTunes. NOW! Truly amazing guitar and vocals.

  • wow

    just wow

  • Amazing is an understatement...that's all I have to say.

  • Wow. This is a really amazing take on one of my favorite songs. Kudos.

  • awesome...no other way to put it

  • perfection

  • Awesome job!

  • Fantastic. You guys are a real inspiration - this cover is unbelievable.

  • Serious talent, voice is one of a kind, guitar player is amazing, this video deserves a million views, and a million honors, and you guys deserve a million bucks :) This is seriously AMAZING, I would love to hear some orginal stuff from you guys!

  • Fantastic Guys!

  • great voice

  • Well Done! Killer

  • regarless of whether or not i talk to either of you guys anymore....i still love your version of it, and i'm glad i made you finally record it that night. :)

  • You guys should go on the ben folds website and see what they are doing on youtube! They have a channel, if you upload, and get the most views, the top 10 viewed videos get places on their new website

  • hey I checked their website... are they still doing that because I couldn't find it

  • Wow this is amazing, really! Fantastic job!

  • umm... wow!!! haha i agree this is definitely one of the best covers i have ever seen on youtube of ANY song!! mad props! you guys should enter like america's got talent or american idol or something!! seriously!

  • Incredible - awesome - I've tried this song on YT. Very very difficult for me vocally - I am absolutely stunned by you guys - mad props!

    I would sincerely love to hear your feedback if you ever get a moment to view my version. Again this kind of performance inspires me to keep trying my best.

  • Amazing.

  • I rarely comment, but this may be the best cover I've seen/heard on youtube. You have an amazing voice, great guitar arrangement as well.

  • you have the best fucking vocie!!!

  • Hahaha, I love how the guitarist looks into the singer's eyes right at the very end. How romantic. xD

  • lol...actually I was giving a look of: "Did i mess up that time?"

  • @forrentmusic LOL

  • love your cover! try The Luckiest by Ben Folds. it's a great song :]

  • Although you both perform this meloncholy melody well--I don't get the dedication!?

  • one of the best covers on youtube. i cant stop listening.

  • Good guitar, good singing style. I didn't dig the change in the chorus melody as much, personally. But you have a good if different vocal style for the song. Might turn the treble down a bit on the guitar.

  • better than the actual song...great guitarist

  • I thought it was awesome, I'll check out more of your stuff. Great voice and great guitar work. Thanks

  • amazing, honestly...wow

  • awesome, you guys are awesome, your voice is great

  • very impressive..i'd love to see more

  • see? told yah its very good...

    hey!!!you did very great.. but i think you can do better than that...

    i'd like to hear more from you,is that understood?heehheheeh

  • woah! this is awesome!

    i love how you made it your own. beautiful. great job!

  • This is very different from the original song, and that's what makes it stand out. Beautiful guitar and vocal work, especially put together. Your voice was made to work with acoustic guitar.

  • The best Ben Folds cover I've heard so far.

    Gorgeous voice.

    You really made it your own.

    Beautiful.

  • pfff. some people are so ignorant :)

    Great cover guys!

  • You guys are great. Fantastic vocals. And the dude playing the Taylor has a very smooth finger style. WOW!

  • Wow this is really good..a great version of the song..and ya'll sing and play great!

  • I thought this was excellent. I think the guitar player has extreme talent and the voice of the singer is so clear and original. I loved it probly more than ben folds version.

  • This was really good.

    I hadn't ever heard this song until a few weeks ago, and I fell in love with it. I don't like your version better, I must admit, but I also don't like theirs better, because they're really two different songs. Same lyrics, but different sounds. I love your sound, 5/5 *'s and Favorited. I'd like to hear more from you, as well!

  • you guys sounds great! favourited!

  • Wow. Really nice arrangement and performance :)

  • good one...very good...

  • Not a bad cover. It's always good to hear a song you like done a little differently.

    But I am fairly sure this song was originally written on an acoustic guitar and later moved to the piano. I have seen Ben Folds himself play thi ssong live on an acoustic guitar, at which point, memory serving, he said he wrote the music on guitar, not piano.

  • Wow... wow ... wow... Great performance. Good voice. It was all good. Keep it going

  • awesome voice man.....i thought mine was good...you make me jelious...do you write your own songs too?

  • Hi

    I like this version more then the original! :-)

    Go on singing.

    Go for it!

    Greetzsz

  • You're full of shit, this is not better than the original. It's good in it's own way, but you can't compare them. And if you could, Folds would win.

  • How can you call someone full of shit for liking something more than something else? Am I full of shit if I like it more than the original? No,I'm the one singing it. So Im not full of shit, neither is flow. They just think this "own way" is better than the "original way"

  • It's simple, that guy's wrong. And so are you. You're also biased, being the one who sings it. And you're cocky. Noob.

  • Getempregnant...

    your name says enough cocky noob biased full of shit.

    Perhaps you just could say, i like Folds better and i would have understand your message better.

    Greetzsz anyway

  • Well saying your version is better is disrespectful to Folds.a cover is a trubute.Thousands can sing this well, but how many could write it? One.your obvously only comparing vocal talent which has almost no bearing on music (Bob Dylan).So you have a good voice,1 out of 5 people do.anyone can read tabs and learn to sing pretty well. Besides if its so good why was it cut at 3:48.Voises are for covers. Creativity is for music.Which do you play?

  • From the guitarist: Wow, such a debate. I'd just like to add a few things: 1. I don't like our cover better than the original, but I don't play the piano very well, so I play the guitar. 2. I didn't use tabs for this song. I took the root notes and main melody and added a little originality.

    For all the people that have negative, baseless criticism, feel free to cover this great song, and cover it better.

  • P.S. It cuts at 3:48 because we messed up at that point. WHOOPS! I'm sure no one has ever messed up before. We don't practice this song so it was an impromptu recording. Deal with it.

  • Tabs please if possible

  • This sounds great guys for real! Tabs please if possible! Keep it up!

  • you have a good voice...

  • Im gonna risk sounding gay and say your voice is fuckin beautiful. You could go places with a voice like that. Most bands of this style would definitely take you and tons of people are aching for a singer.

  • wow you guys did AMAZING!! your voice is really pretty and do you think you could give me the chords?? becuase this sounds perfect!

  • guys never give up playing I did and I amnow so happy to be back, u 2 a great just great.

    Is there anywhere else I can hear your music? U have both showed me how to cover a song!

  • great voice

  • Dude your Voice is amazing. I'm a fan of this song but you take it to a different place. Your version is infectious. I am more keen to cover your version. The melody in the chorus is amazing.

    Great Cover Guys.

    Thank you for being original.

  • I thoguht this was going to suck when i saw you guys and when you started, but its aweomse! REALLY GREAT VERSION!

  • Wow, you guys have talent. You should considering doing "Luckiest".

  • the way it should be done.

  • A very interesting cover of the song. I like it the more I listen to it. Great voice..and WONDERFUL guitar playing. I like it with the guitar...

  • Excellent rendition Guys. It makes me ecstatic to see other people like me that appreciate Ben's work so much that they learn it. The chorus took me by surprise but it works!

  • wow beautiful

  • This really took me by surprise. Really good job, both guys. :D

  • IM a big ben folds fan but this kills it. This might be the best cover ive ever heard. Ur other shit cant touch this. Homie u were on point. find the point and your going to be everyones favorite

  • Really well done, and a nice voice.

  • goood stuff guys. i love how you made it your own. awesome cover well done.

  • wow, beautiful

  • that was lovley

  • Wow... I must admit I wasn't expecting much, but this cover is absolutely beautiful. The guitar arrangement has a simple eloquence that I really dig (it reminds me of Kristin Hersh), and the vocals were haunting. My one criticism is that the 'breakdown' doesn't quite flow right with the rest of the song... sorry I can't be more specific. Awesome cover, ya'll rule! :)

  • i really like the version you guys did especially since it was just guitar. I really wanna learn how to play it like you guys do. it seems kinda hard but i could learn. Magnificent singing voice. You guys play and sing really well together.

  • u guys r fukn unreal

  • wow to be honest with you i didnt think it was goin to sound too great on the acoustic but you guys definitely killed it, seriously gave me shivers,if its not too much to ask could you just tell me what chords you are using it looks like just variations of G with a capo, but anyway, great job, keep it up

  • wow, you got an amazing voice, 5 stars !!
