The Sound of You - Original - Reina Del Cid + JW

[5t34l7h9]

you got some style there boy....and shes a peach...so you should link back up with her and go around....that way you will both appeal to different much wider audience of young people...i can see you have some creative difference...if you both compromise it could be more rewarding for you both in music...besides she could use your help and deserves it...try it new...

[lsfbdude]

the insights in your lyrics really stike a chord with my experiences. My fav song by u

[1971SuperLead]

Wow, I really like this girl. She's so authentic and earthy.

[msjulicious]

i wish i could play guitar. i have so many poems that i wish i could put into song.

[MrDocVenture]

Very nice song, well performed, keep on keepin' on!

[Raphtor13]

Still love this one..I have listened to it more times than I can count. You two should do a couple more collabs.

[BlackAttack368]

Beautiful song, but why do you wearing this blue thing? :)

[baultrock]

made the baultrock 10,000-100,000 list :D

[Lisenertheband]

It reminds me the sound of Travis (one of my favourite bands)... Just the music, not the lyrics.

We write original songs too: You can check our channel and give us your opinion, we'll be grateful for your time and support.

Thank you!

[FireAndIce1991]

Awe that was so good [thumbs up to awesome songs created by the heart]. I wish I could record a good video for some of my songs but my camera is kind of poopy =P

[ALIroxCIA]

<3 I love you!

[flyingmoon83]

i remember when you first posted this.... lot better

[vgerra]

I love the "Sound of You"

In every song you do

They're all brilliant, but then,

Why wouldn't they, coming from you.

That's a beautiful arrangement, did James write the music to this or just arrange it? As the credits say (Arrangement & Music by James Wetzel).

[KyranKandosa]

Looks like 8 folks so far have no taste at all.

[penguin27pie]

honestly, how are you able to write so many songs??? I tried to write one and failed... you wrote like a zillion, and they're all awesome! i'm so jealous lol

[vidguy73]

I like the song, but you are almost talking, your voice is great we want to hear it .

[johnnylockes78]

Your voice sounds really good , whoever recorded it did a great job capturing it.

You are awesome!

[NevilleRhysBarnes]

What's needed here is a bit of compression on the voice to bring up the quieter bits.

I was your producer I'd fix stuff like that.

[Toppersbazaar]

very nice

[RodEOpallo]

this may or may not be my favorite original- good job

[johnshepherdsg]

hey is you HI HI again chick-O

[Pit571984]

Thats a very nice song!

[withecker]

you are superstar for me

[stupidfreshdope]

How'd did you get Gary Buschemi to play guitar for you?

[xoxAshh137]

This is incredible.

honestly i think there is more feeling in the original because all the energy is coming from you and i feel it more,

but this also sounds very good (:

[Sleipnir88ify]

Super

[My2mtpckts]

Excellant videography, great duo and lyrics. Want, no, need more...

[matixbird]

pffft he can have her.

[The1Frog]

Ur an amazing artist, Reina. Made an account with You Tube, just so I could leave you this comment. Damn, your good.

[xXLEFTxTOxDIEXx]

im usually into metal and stuff so i dont hear this kinda music but omg singing EXCELLLENT playing EXCELLENT 5/5

[DieguitoBobito]

Oi, who the fuck is that guy?! Reina del Cid is mine, back off! lol XD

[stonecoldkilla1000]

Juno!

[DMARKETTE]

I forgot how great this is..I love you bro.

[gwhancock]

Great compilation ! sounds real smooth ! 5*

cheers

[conse3000]

[anonwebserfer]

[abeautifultomorrow]

[ChannellRajal]

[mike7artist]

She is so beautiful!

nice song too.

cheers!

[parkerlb19]

Love this song

[HellMurder]

gateenha

eu pegava

[diphrent4yt]

Exquisite guitar solo.

[gunterandyuri]

She is so awesome amazing, mad brilliant. I keep being impressed happy moved from her 'maziness.

[FunNotNuts]

That was a lovely song. I would have liked the singer to be more pronounced. The guitar in the background more so we can hear what she sings. Other than that it was perfect.

Don't stop :)

[jwwetzel]

Did you listen in high quality? If it plays in mono, it won't be balanced very well :(

[FunNotNuts]

Yes I have a very good sound system to the point where I prefer it over my large stereo system. Nevermind. You two are wonderful!

[jwwetzel]

ohh no no, I mean, there's the high quality button on the video player itself, it says "HQ". Youtube creates two compressions of the audio, one in mono, and one in stereo, so you may have listened to it in mono, in which case it wouldn't have been balanced very well.

[xoxAshh137]

"And how you treat me like a queen

Like when I said my eyes were swampy green

And I saw you smile and I heard you say

'If your eyes are swamps, they're the Everglades'

And that you love them that way."

- BRILLIANT. i love reina so so much.

[ladyfromthemountains]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL song!

[bookwormmaddy]

All hail Youtubes Music Queen! HAIL!

[corovanmoro]

It's been a while since I heard this song (this was actually the first video of yours that I ever watched), and man, it's freakin' awesome. I HAD to learn that solo, man. It's just so cool.

[loveshisharley]

man, you add some real class to reina's song. wish you could do another with her... AWESOME!

[ickamurmur101]

she has a nice voice, but it would be great to hear her louder!!!

[Bombshellnetwork]

I like this song a lot. Very powerful and well written. Keep up the good work

[compares90]

good!la cantante è anche carina:)

[sywalker456]

WOW. AWESOME. anyone know the chords? I wanna learn. thanks!

[AaronRobertson1989]

It's G, C, and D major, capo looks like it's at the 2nd fret, but that doesn't matter unless you what to be absolutely authentic

[ParkerTerrace]

That girl is awesome

[Merenwynn]

JAMES :D You are adorable in this video!! Those are some clever lyrics!!  5*s

[Bhidalgo14]

1:28 how u treat me like a queen? como una Reina...

[lemaback1]

ffffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­kkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[SageSwan]

I'm so glad I watched this :D it's so cute and good... I love it.

[yourgetting0starz]

Girl, You look like Zoey from Left 4 Dead.

Great voice. =)

[elizabethlee2008]

[TwistedRootsMusic]

[hflcruz]

Think you have a great voice!!!! Really well done!

[lttlynot]

i think the sound of you is a really good song good work

[TooFreakingRelaxed]

Beautifully covered

[dwarfie93]

this is very good, totaly awesome! this is above youtube

[sharecroppermike]

I suggest a notch up on the capo....also (please don't be offended) find a voice teacher for just a few weeks....you'll be amazed at whet he/she can show you...esp those higher breathing notes. You have so much potential....wow! ~Mike

[Janzah]

and I really like the sound of this guitar.

So i thought: it must be a fender ;);)

[uncroyal]

Much as I like your playing the one inexcusable thing you did was cover up Reina's grin at 1:05! Inexcusable!

[jwwetzel]

haha we had different video clips, so these two versions are completely different, and so are the video clips :) I'm not sure I had the clip you're thinking of

[uncroyal]

certainly you have watched Reina's version. If not, you should so you can see that grin at 1:05. It's worth taking the time! royal

[jwwetzel]

haha yes I've seen it, but I didn't have that clip :)

[KIERONLAWRENCEPARSON]

wow u made a proper video 4 ur song! sweet

[teteran123]

great lyrics/singing by reina ( who is absolutely adorable)

I really liked the little guitar solo, it came at the perfect time.

Are you playing an alvarez? it sounds nice.

[2UISEE]

Kind of reminds me of janis Ean!....You Guys rock together!..I Smell a songwriting partnership..LOL..JRingo

[EZ8studios]

thanks reina, your helping me threw some hard times.

[Janzah]

this is a fender?

[anuncommonusername]

There's two kinds i think - the rubber things you hang off the side of a boat to stop it crashing are fenders, and also a person the wards something off is a fender. There's also a fender guitar.

[Janzah]

hahaha.

why would you think I was talking about boats? I was talking about a guitar of course. Come on ;)

[anuncommonusername]

xD i just read it over, i thought it said 'what is a fender?' before - just as a random comment. And i thought it was on another video :P

[jwwetzel]

janzah - haha no that's an Alvarez

[Janzah]

aha ok!

thanks!

and don't laugh at me for not knowing that:P you're the one with a thousand subscribers and great guitar skills, I'm the one with 444 subscribers and awfull guitar skills, haha.

;)

[krypticsnow]

nice lyrics,, i love the guitar solo

i wana be able to make solo's like that.... cant think of them tho...

[joshguy69]

she is cute O.o and can sing beastly-like,and you guitar playing is immaculate ^.^

[xsxix]

Very nice! cut down that guitar a bit, add a bass, crisp up the vocals! her voice is great!

[skelatorrokz]

ya and a nice simple drum beat.

[TheAwesomeJayandGray]

wow this is pretty incredible- you have real talent =P

[shredheadXD]

awesome song i love it!!!

from a fellow songwriting musician :)

did she write this song? its amazing..

[agameofdarts]

terrible girl, shit music, good shirt & tie

[Muri301]

God damn.

I actually started laughing at how brilliant the lyrics were.

That was pro. <3

[Cardiao]

beautiful!

[nbomb3]

Ace77man- I feel exactly the same way! Wonderfully put!

Peace,

Nate

[uncroyal]

Reina is my favorite YT singer. I really like your guitar accompaning her singing. When you two getting together again? Is the base added separately? Sounds great. When you two getting together on a CD?

[jwwetzel]

uncroyal - yep I added the bass later!

[ripper778]

I totally dig this tune.

[jwwetzel]

thank you :) i totally dig this comment.  there's a fat WHALE on your boat!

[afiq2833]

you two are awesome together!

[jwwetzel]

afiq - thank you!!!

[willythewave]

P.S. I always click on my friends ads. lol true.:)

[jwwetzel]

HAHAHAHA you're the best!!!!!! :D

[willythewave]

NO, you and Reina are the best!!! Ha ha ha

[willythewave]

Man what an awesome team you two make! Two of my favorite youtubers!How much more excellent can that be?

[oriflyboyz]

though it's not like `Sound Of Silence'.......you like yourself `Sound Of You'....keep it up ....cheeRs!

[RawkinOutt]

I don't like this kinda music.. You two are both very talented though. Keep it up

[jwwetzel]

Rawkinoutt - haha someday you will! rock on

[RawkinOutt]

Maybe when I grow up huh? haha. I may be young, but I've really pushed myself to listen to as many kinds of music I can.. And I can really appreciate good musicianship, even though it may not be my forte. Maybe I'll listen to it a bit more, develope a taste for it ;)

[jwwetzel]

exactly - because sometimes no matter how hard we try, we can't imagine who we'll be in the future, we just have to wait and see!

[RawkinOutt]

That's pretty deep man. ;)

[elviradark6]

shweet collab guys..Jimi..loving that guitar sound ^_^

[jwwetzel]

miss dark - more too come i'm sure!

[wizardeal]

Tim

Lindsay

[Leibo07]

It resembles the Suzanne Vega sound/lyrics, but this is way better. Fine, fine.

[jwwetzel]

Leibo - awesome!! better is great! thank you :)

[klasek]

Completely mesmerizing.............

[jwwetzel]

klasek - reina or the song?? ;) or.. me?!?!

[klasek]

Well, I do have to admit that the "mesmerizing" comment was directed at Reina. It's hard to hear the song, and watch the video, and try to come up with a good comment at the same time....wow......What was the question?

Oh, right......You're very good too.

[lisalavie1]

Sounds Amazing. I LOVE THIS, REally dooo~

[elvkim96]

Do you think you can post the chords you used for this song? I wanna try to cover it :P.

I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

[jwwetzel]

elvkim - sure! capo 2 - D, Bm, G, E7, A7, D7, not in that order, but that should help get you started!

[elvkim96]

Thanks a bunch! I'm going to get started on putting together a cover. :D. I really admire your guitar skills!

[moojuice252]

awsome job :D

[jwwetzel]

moojuice - thank youu :)

[bradster77ster]

Great Collab JW, now we've just gotta get ya singing the song with her, that'd be something of a spectacle. Keep up the great work!

[jwwetzel]

bradster - haha I know, I'm working on the ol' voice ;)

[52071492]

JW...don't know how you and Reina hooked up, but it is well worth it! Awesome work on the guitar and her singing was right on! Get TubaGirl in the mix and you guys could have...a...band! How cool would that be?

[jwwetzel]

59817234- hey thanks man! hahaha yea we need some tuba in this!

[tubagirl022]

James, this video is exceptional. I really like what you've added to the song, especially that amazing guitar solo! So good!  5 stars!

[jwwetzel]

tubagirllll - Thank you! I couldn't have done it without such wonderful videography that only the tubagirl can achieve :)

[davelovesmusic]

Awesome James and Reina! Two of the finest musicians on youtube together, and you've made a fantastic collaboration!

[jwwetzel]

Dave - thanks man!! hopefully more to come!

look at that!

[GregoryLog]

James, you might want to get a hard copy of the YouTube honors pages for posterity. For my computer, I find Mozilla Firefox does a better job formatting the print page on my HP-PSC 1410 printer than Internet Explore does. Obviously, choose the best print quality you can and print only the page of importance. Also, I noticed I can stop a video at a particular frame and increase the size of a print preview and print it. With the clarity of this video, you'll get a nice video still

[Real720]

that girl reminds me of juno

[jwwetzel]

Real - yea! doesn't she?! very cute in my opinion.

[timdoog42]

I think this is so next level for you Jimmyjam.Reina is heavenly.Very heartfelt lyrics.Your best i think.nice work on the bass too.Its not overpowering.Great collaberation man.How you gettin these cute girls to sing with you:)

[jwwetzel]

[GregoryLog]

I crave the high energy level of the Jimi Hendrix electric guitar sound, every so often. My day job requires a lot of kenetic energy during the day, so in the evening, I prefer something a little more laid back for a guitar sound. I have a friend who loves Jimi Hendrix, has an impressive, I could buy another house with the money I have in this collection, limited run guitar collection. For myself, I'm waiting for my next pay check so I can have two nickels to rub together. Impressive honors Jim

[jwwetzel]

Gregory - haha good nickels

[meallat]

Incredible

[jwwetzel]

mealla - thanks :)

[jwwetzel]

[RedSGShredder]

Wow James looking sharp! Nice collaboration! Is it just me or does she look like the girl from Juno?

[jwwetzel]

SG - hahaha thanks man, got the tie out hahaha. She does actually a bit, hmm, you're exactly right!
