Between the Bars (Elliott Smith Cover)

[julianna31]

Could you tell me what kind of mic set-up you use? I really like it!

[ProfoundlyForlorn]

Scarf.

[coledorothy]

This is my favourite Elliott Smith song, and an incredible cover. Apart from your small slipup with the lyrics ;)

Your voice is absolutely beautiful and I'm jealous of your ability to accompany yourself which I always struggle with.

I love that you add your own style in your covers, it's captivating. And you're adorable when you smile at your own mistakes :)

[beatupshades]

good job!

[fivethumbsfrank]

Very nice vocal indeed.

[jonathonfizdiz]

nice scarf.... must be cold in her apartment :)

[mariodemetriou1996]

Your so talented. I have not stopped listening to this and I am a huge Elliot Smith fan and hate cover versions, but this is exceptional.

[hebdomad3710]

absolutely excellent ,Elliot never apologised for the odd mistake so dont stress the odd human bits lol, you put the song across so well I found a tear rolling down my cheek , thank you for posting this ,im going to become a subscriber and hope to see you covering more of Elliots works in the future, my personal faves are fond farewell,pitseleh,waltz no 2 .Im stopping now as I just realised I love all his songs lol , well done girl !

[pepperbox5]

nice vibrato

[reeceyburt]

sweet as

as!!

[reeceyburt]

sweet as!!

[mobbbosss]

this is awesome! wonderfully done, if i do say so myself (Y) ... this song gets me every time :P

[1schwererziehbar1]

shitty audio. stupid hall effect!

[Crazymatz1990]

excellent interpretation of a wonderful song

[aurorarot]

Def. the best cover of this song. Madeleine Peyroux has a good one too!

[SubconsciousDweller]

You are Gorgeous!!

[karimaci]

really good!!

[liracul]

The "do as i say" caught me off guard. One of my favorites and your cover is one of the best.

[Ange8]

Nice =)

[kellyfortune]

awesome cover. Such a nice song. Oh...and you're hot! :)

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

you have awesome control.

[ninkly]

You've still got the best cover of this song on youtube! I've been digging your songs on SixtyOne more & more, btw. Soon-ish I'll be posting my stuff up there with you once I get out of this streak of "lazy-bastard"-itis.

[kevinpat7]

Very nice. VERY nice. You do Elliot proudly. You remind me what a beautiful melody that is. It's hard to hear what a wonderful craftsman Elliot was when his voice and delivery is so prominent. Nice job. THANKS!!!

[ushiuni82]

was not expecting that voice(:

[antihero6437]

wonderful voice!

[elsa543]

i love your inflections. beautiful voice.

rip elliott. tear.

[toddstebleton]

You did a great job. Although gibson is right that the song is originally more subtle, you made it you - which is what makes it good. Keep up the good work, you have a great voice and and simple yet nice details.

[UhMarisaBayless]

you try too hard to look deep.

[ninkly]

you try too hard to see unauthenticity...even if she screwed up a bit, when it's obvious she feels the song more than most could....it's your fault for not seeing the depths. Check out her other tunes and I hope you'll agree.

[gibson724]

i hate to see it when guys see a girl covering a song and seriously wet their pants almost scrambling to say how good it is.When it is just another mediocre cover at most. the song is subtle not all high flown.

[MetteAmager]

The potential you'll be...that you'll never see...not the other way around..LOL

[erinmerle]

You're right, my bad.

[MetteAmager]

I really love your version though...*s*

[erinmerle]

You're very kind and thank you for pointing out the proper lyrics :)

[tcornellbusiness]

@MetteAmager Dylan Bob reversed lyrics all the time! she is just way ahead of her time.

[helena516]

</3

[frozenwhitebear]

i think this one and the quite different version by monstertruckfan are my faved female covers of this song up to now! what a pity you got that wrist problem... :o/

[Krixounette]

Amazing! I got the goosebumps!

[coffeescup]

you picked two of my favorite ES songs to sing and you did a great job. i hope you can keep making music

[Cicero1988]

What a superb interpretation (different, yet still faithful to the original's spirit and feeling) of one of Elliott Smith's most touching songs. Please do more of his songs, if you can find the time!

[HellBent1337]

Simply amazing, I love love love your voice! Lovely smile too, I think it's awesome when people smile from "screw ups." I know I do. :)

[taxi909]

lose the guitar. get someone else to play it. and stop trying so hard

[ertwyu]

And your cover is where?

[dodgyBryansk]

Beautiful singing once again. Your phrasing is brilliant and your voice quite euphonic.

[YAHitsAB]

Very nice version--lovely and appropriate voice for this song.

[erinmerle]

thanks so much :) !!!

[HardcoreCowLip]

Okay so I had to watch it again, and comment it.

You are amazing :D

OMG

I love Elliott Smith

I love you! :]

lol

Great job :)

[HardcoreCowLip]

holy crap your amazing :D

[tigergolf06]

Excellent cover, I love this song as well. Your covers are great because you add to the songs instead of trying to do an impression of them. Keep it up! :)

[erinmerle]

Thank you! That is what I try to do :)

[davsamachado]

elliott fan from portugal here. great cover, lovely voice. keep it up dol

[erinmerle]

Why thank you. Who is this Katie Puckrik and what does she smell like? I once knew a boy who always smelled like sweet and sour pork even though he was a vegetarian. My theory was that he ate sweet and sour pork in private....everyday! What a hypocrite.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Katie Puckrik is a promiscuous perfume lover who smells like roses and incense on a good day, and curry and cupcakes on...another good day!

Maybe your faux herbivore had some kooky body alchemy that metabolized tofu into digested pork odor. Sounds like he REALLY needed to wear some perfume.

[meltalaska]

Great voice, but this version seems a little sterile.

[erinmerle]

Thanks. Next time I'll throw some germs on it.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

Witty girl!

[JforJason]

i think you messed up a lyric, but thats just me nitpicking. this is a wonderful version

[totalpwnership]

You have a remarkable voice. I love your version of this song. Thanks for posting.

[Baucover]

Olá Erin, today I took 1 dose of " I Married Myself"

e 1 dose of " Placeholder" more I needed to take two doses of " Between the bars" therefore I woke up half melancolico, now I am very better.

Good end of week my pretty one, and thinks exactly about ordering here for the Brazil, a CD its singing for me, pretty Kiss.

[Saitenblick]

Germany ................... 10 Points :-)

[Klemons12]

Is every cover of elliott smith on youtube done by girls? Haha well after many tries this is the first good one i found. 5*****

[Baucover]

Eu não me canso de ouvir vc cantando esta musica.

Ah, ia esquecendo, vc é linda de +.

BJ

[laurianni]

Very lovely.

[mlvlm1004]

erinmerle.

very nice.

[Edwards3Carrots]

Just to let you know, this is the song i dance to the most. I love this song so much.

x x x

[doctorcastille]

Back to listen again. I have to not do this because it sort of makes me want to delete my own version. Even with the little stumble near the end it's still about my favorite cover of this song.

[fonchosegoviano]

ahh y tambien tocas guitarra!!!!!!, ufff. te felicito

me encantaria saver si estudiaste musica.supongo que si.

[sstrunks8000]

WIN!

[Edwards3Carrots]

I love it. Pure and Simple.

[deckers1]

I never heard of Elliot Smith, but now because of you I know this guy wrote beautiful melodic songs.

[breeder99]

Divine

[sophieboda]

You have amazing voice. I liked it.

[colouredpictures]

Great voice:)...you have a haunting Patsy Cline-esqe quaity...nice!

[soul0luos]

I don't mean to bolster your ego, but your voice is angelic... and genuine, not some imposter or deluded youngster trying to sing. Couple this with Elliot Smith, and it's really great. Thanks and best wishes to you.

[potentialcarnie]

Both powerful and effortless voice, bravo.

[evhan55]

Your take on this song is beautiful and genuine. Thank you for sharing. Your voice is powerful and soothing at the same time.

[maninwhitedress]

Most of your choices for songs are so sad.

[erinmerle]

sadness is relative...or something. See this is PRE-man in a white dress material.

[maninwhitedress]

Ha ha, look forward to hearing your original stuff.

[vickersdavis]

Great song, and your voice suits it well.

[killerchipmunk2]

Elliott Smith would be proud.

[petemacarthur]

HWEeeow...!

[mihal051]

oh my god..can u tape it oand sand it to me or something?? i want your version! please!!

[tomboysongs]

Love your voice

[MrTsBastardChild]

Spectacular. Really. Where is your myspace? You are so talented.

[ssm776]

Great interpretation of this song and your voice is super!

[mufcgirl93]

ive only just discovered your channel and you're very good. but i do feel sorry for the fact you have some weird stalker on your hands, 'NancyLaceGarbage'. the name suits her.

[erinmerle]

Thank you :)

The nice people outnumber the bad ones :)

It's a good lesson in not taking things personally.

[AsoulDivided]

I beleive you have the most powerful and beautiful voice I've heard in a long time. I'm just wondering where you received your vocal training, because you need to be on tour... Bravo x 100,000,000,000,000 !!!

[erinmerle]

Thanks so much. There's a Martin Tielli video I uploaded to my channel. I like his singing style very much.

[NancyLaceGarbage]

Hated it.

All it was, was you putting on an act - pretending to feel something - and trying to do all this vibrato black chick shit. Where's the fucking sincerity?! I wanna be sick.

[erinmerle]

Yes, wanna-be and sick are two aptly descriptive words for you, deary. I read your comments on that other girls channel. Disgusting.

[amuffledscream]

you have an incredible voice.

[Unknown923]

Great voice... Amazing cover. Good job.

[cneajna01]

Wow....great job! You have a very beautiful voice..and did awesome justice to this song. Even if you can't play guitar anymore, you can still sing though! :)

[fuzzyone99]

I really like your voice.

Just listened to about 5 or 6 others covering this, including well-known artists, and I like yours the best.

[difenbachia]

I like it! your voice and your heart face when you are singing.

U are wonderful

[freshphish09]

wow, i think your version just blew mine out of the water fo sho, haha. Great voice

[doctorcastille]

Good lord...that was so, so beautiful. I'm speechless.

[erinmerle]

Thank you so much :) I'm a long time Buckley fan and have been eager to cover him for a while. I used to play "Lover you should've..." on the guitar but have since given up guitar due chronic wrist problems. I'm sure I could work something out on piano though. Thank you for the suggestion :)

[Connayyyy]

Holy fucking shit! That is by far the best cover of Elliot! Well done, that was unreal seriously I was blown away. That song is all about heartbreak and you nailed that, you really did. WOW!

Do me a favour and cover Buckley's Hallelujah, or Lover You Should've Come Over :D

[sghed]

Love this song..... that was so passionate, it was so great if we have more performers like you.... so nice to watch this here... greetings from brazil....

[erinmerle]

Thank you so much :)

[singadingding115]

Breathtaking.

[thesuzies]

Your voice is uber sexy.

[falcostrife]

[mrpentium]

Erinmerle...I enjoy your renditions. I would like yo hear your version of That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore (Smiths) or unsent (A. Morrissette)

[erinmerle]

I'll try the former. I love that song. Haven't thought of Alanis for a while though. Was a big fan back in the day.

[georgeroyer]

great! nice voice

ps: "this end up" hehe funny shit

[boxingfreddy]

great rendition and change of the melody

[stkippi]

Very nice song.

Great voice and guitar!!

[effalumper]

Really, really good stuff. Beautiful voice, and one minor slip on the guitar is easily balanced by the following smile :-) . Well done.
