Lyrics, shmyrics. She's an artist, and her job as one is to take a work of art and make it her own, not to simply replicate. Exact replication suggests a lack of originality, and does more to compete with the original than to appreciate it in all it's forms.
Annoying voice :/ The way she sings "go" at 0:46 sounds dumb, and also the way she says "pack" the first time gets on my nerves. Ok, lots of singers get the lyrics wrong, but this song has the same lyrics repeated over and over, and she never once got it right... A good voice doesn't excuse a terrible cover.
@TranceTechnoSucks well I think a cover shouldnt be exactly the same, its interesting but dont forget she isnt english, english isnt her first language.
Not sure how many of you listen to j. tillman's solo work (drummer/singer of this fleet foxes) but I did a cover of one of his songs, if anyone has nothing better to do, and that's really the only reason you should waste your time watching it, you might could give it a view and let me know what you think. Thanks a lot!
Yeah she got it wrong. Full lyrics are " I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats, with scarves of red tied round their throats, to keep their little heads from falling in the snow, and I turned round and there you go, and micheal you would fall, and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime."
apart from the fact that her voice is irritating, she got the lyrics incorrect and they didn't make any attempt at harmonising or really sounding good at all, they broke the first law of nature: if you try to cover Fleet Foxes, you will fail.
hmm..I'm not sure if the last part of your comment is correct...:.if you try to cover Fleet Foxes, you will fail...go and listen Birdy doing the same song..she's awesome..so..your fail =)
To haters: Who gives a shit about one mistake in the text, with a voice like that? I hope all best for my cousin Nanna, show them how it should be done! (and dont go all mainstream-pop in the big USA plox :)
Basic idea of the cover is absolutely fantastic. However, for me the percussion tempo was a little too fast for the vocal. Bit of a slowdown on the percussion and you've got a truly amazing cover.
I know a lot of covers change the lyrics, but this song is something that should not have excluded or edited lyrics :L... the performance was splendid though :D
@jamjamday I'm Norwegian, and it's very rare I hear someone over here pronounce 'L' that way when speaking english, so it shouldn't be that hard. Sadly, it ruins her version of the song for me.
@ThebombsquadDoc no actally i think u are right... because he says right before that ..."michael falls down and turns" ....BUT we can agree she got it completely wrong..hehe...at least she purdy ((n a great voice))
But keep in mind that it IS just a word in the lyrics, and she sang the song HER way. That changing of a word may have been her mark on the song. I didn't know the song. I saw this, then went to the original. I didn't look up the lyrics till afterwards and i didn't find a difference until after I rewatched this about a gizillion times.
Ppls perhaps she FEELS the song and doesn't get too caught up in the little details, like a word in the lyrics. I mean i can understand how someone who was familiarized with the original could lose a little respect for this cover.
@kmyres14 shes just making her own version. words are just words. but she brings her own style,ethnicity and culture and everything thats good in this world into her music. any song she does will do justice to the original.
I'ma just take a while guess and say she's in england? or somewhere thats not the US? lol I'm in the US and I LOVE OHLAND ! and i was wondering where shes from?
@henburger mm english is not my first language, but I looked up the lyrics of the original song and the only mistake I found was "And turn the white snow into strawberries in the summertime" instead of "And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime" ... and well, it changes a little the meaning of the expression, but I think is not a big deal...
I really liked this cover, she's so cheerful when she sings, that's what I like the most about her ^^
@ptolomo Thats not how i meant it at all. she's free to mix it up. as i said 'she really made it her own'. I dont think her changing the words helped her to do this though, it didnt make it more original. it was just wrong and should be corrected.
There were a few lyric mess ups on this, I don't think she meant to change any lyrics it was just an accident.. And FYI, covers don't need to be exactly like the original. But I enjoyed this, it was different and nice
