Drowned (Tim Minchin cover)

[gyroscify]

Any chance of getting a tab? Would love to learn this

[boynamedbri]

@gyroscify Hello. :) I'd be happy to tab this out for you, but it may be a while before I can get to it. I'm currently in the process of redoing my music room (home studio, whatever) - building a new computer and a new desk for it. So at the moment, I'm a bit distracted. Just remind me if you haven't heard back from me in a week or two. :)

[boynamedbri]

@gyroscify Wheew. I completely dropped the ball here huh. I just... totally forgot. I'll try to remember when I'm home (and not at work). Sorry! :(

[simplerachel11]

me too, tim sent ..very nice! :)

[Equihan]

*it's. Sorry.

[Equihan]

You should be super proud of this arrangement; if's gorgeous. :)

[boynamedbri]

@Equihan Thanks so much, mate. It's wonderful to get a comment like this. :)

[ajr525600]

Tim sent me. i'm happy that he did. that was ace! :-)

[pixelina]

Tim was right. :)

[DifferentGirl3]

Yep. Absolutely brilliant.

[zefiie]

I have been listening to this all day :) I'm so glad I got to hear your music, I'm in love! You are so talented. Thank you for creating this absolutely beautiful cover!

[boynamedbri]

@zefiie Thank you for such a great compliment :)

[Shattered4807]

Can I puh-leeease hit the "like" button more than once? No wonder Tim tweeted this. It's an absolutely amazing cover! <3

[boynamedbri]

@Shattered4807 You can! I don't think it will do anything though. :)

Thanks so much. All of the kind words from fellow Tim fans have really been amazing.

[TheOthin]

Just saw the tweet. This is beautiful.

[jillycormier]

Well done Bri! :-)

[boynamedbri]

@jillycormier Thanks Jilly. It would seem I owe you one (or several)! :)

[MrLPaulo]

Yup, Tim sent us. Well done!

[boynamedbri]

@MrLPaulo I've read at least 50-such comments today, but it's still incredibly weird to hear people saying "Tim sent us" when referring to my music. :) My face hurts from smiling at this point.

[wavymavy]

Sent here via Tim Minchin's tweet ... After listening, I can see why he was so impressed. Beautiful.

[rubbishrider861]

wow!! this is amazing!! i, like many others here have found my way here through tim's twitter!! i don't really like the covers most people have tryed to do of tim's songs, but this is awesome!!

[boynamedbri]

@rubbishrider861 I feel like this is all I'm saying since earlier today but- thank you so much :)

I'm really thankful that Tim posted like he did, and just as thankful for all the kind words that people have left since then.

[MostlyMakeUp81]

Brilliant, will certainly be downloading this one tomorrow then. x

[ggirlabroad]

This is really good!

[peterfairfield]

Lovely guitar, Brian! I love baggy pants! Seriously, great job.

[lexyellis]

I always loved this song, but this is really hauntingly beautiful x

[LoverOfVolley]

Wow, now I'm not surprised why Tim tweeted it :D It's just perfect! Love it! :)

[harrisfarrell]

Brilliant ... Really brilliant ... Glad Tim has drawn attention to it... It's going on my playlist :)

[amyloumusic]

I'm here from Tim's twitter, this is beautiful :)

[ljmath]

You are a very talented musician. I hope by Tim discovering your video we will here more songs by you. Wishing you the best of luck with your music made a fan out of me!!

[boynamedbri]

@ljmath Thank you so much for saying so. I plan on posting a new song or two this evening. I had kind of started slacking on the YouTube channel due to a lack of traffic, but if Tim himself somehow found it... clearly I should stop slacking :)

[hewerrocks]

Completely different voice to Tim's- but it's beautiful to listen to. I really like this cover, amazing.

[kirstymaple1]

Tim minchin has actually watched your video and has retweeted the vid on twitter :)

[letitshinexx]

Wow this is brilliant, you definitely did this song justice :)

[MostlyMakeUp81]

Like a few before me, I am only here due to Tim (@timminchin on Twitter). This is one of my favourite Tim songs, next to Lullaby. To be honest I didn't think I'd like to see this song covered, but WOW! Kudos for an excellent version, and you have a beautiful voice. If you do Lullaby, let me know ;p x

[boynamedbri]

@MostlyMakeUp81 Thank you so much. If I do cover it, I will certainly post it here. (I also post all of my music on my website, free for download, so you're welcome to snag this cover for your iPod if you'd like.)

[hayzerclon]

@Timminchin sent me here, if its good enough for him it's good enough for me.

[bozzykinz]

Beautiful coverofa beautiful song!! Thank you for making this!! x

[Spec1704]

Dude Tim Minchin himself just tweeted this! and omg im glad he did awesome version!

[Wraithiss]

Tim just shouted you out on Twitter, so here I am! I love the song, and you did an incredible job taking it to the next level

[Wraithiss]

Tim just shouted you out on Twitter, so here I am!

[monkeyflump]

What a fab version. Well done.

[MystraC]

This is great; as good as, though completely different from, Tim's version.

[Ikchen]

Tim likes this, apparently. Awesome for you :)

[mrmilktray]

Like this if you found this sound from following Tim Minchin's link on Twitter...

[BigSneakyNinja]

just got tweeted by time, u should be so proud :D

[boynamedbri]

@BigSneakyNinja I am, nearly to the point of being speechless.

[itsciwi]

Tim sent me.... amazing!

[G3or631]

damn fella, thats one of the best covers i've heard of... any song... i've heard. Not only did you make the song your own you improved it! And as it was a originally written and performed by ... lets face it... a god, thats sayin something!

[boynamedbri]

@G3or631 I don't think I deserve that level of compliment, but thanks so much just the same. I really appreciate you're saying so. :) We can both agree at least that Tim's amazing.

[Mykidrm]

I'm here because of Tim (@timminchin) on twitter, and I'm glad I'm here :)

[Anyerfillag]

Just about to listen to this but Tim Minchin just tweeted about your cover here (@timminchin) - He loves it :D

[daveyyking]

[randrews02809]

You just got a thumbs up on twitter from Tim Minchin, and well deserved it seems (get ready for the explosion)

[theabbiedays]

Tim Minchin just tweeted this video. Get ready to watch the number of views sore. Beautiful cover, by the by.

[bethnee9989]

[Bouche1985]

Tim Minchin sent me.  :)

[RaveSlave63]

Tim just tweeted a link to this, lovely :) 

[jillycormier]

Brian, your version of this song is the latest tune on my ipod! I've been listening to some of your other stuff on your website - amazing!

[boynamedbri]

@jillycormier Thank you :)

[wotmot223]

Not better than tim, but as good as. THAT amigo is talent, for gods sakes keep at it.

[MelvinRoseQwerty]

Dude I must say as a musician myself...you are frickin musically perfect, and as a musician who hates pretty much every cover, you've made this beautiful song, into something even more beautiful...than Chuck Norris. I would very much like to cover your version for a gig I'm doing and if you could send me the chords for your version I would love you forever :D you know you've accomplished something in life when you've made a song more beautiful than Tim Minchin. Bravo my friend:D

[boynamedbri]

@MelvinRoseQwerty Thanks so much for the kind words! What an awesome comment. :) I would be happy to send you the chords but I'll have to tab them out first. (I only do this for about half of my songs.) I'll try to remember to get to it this weekend. :)

Thanks again!

[CatOnAHorse]

This is really beautiful. How a true cover should be done, in your own way yet still awesome whilst keeping the original song dignified. I love it. Do you write your own songs also?

[boynamedbri]

@CatOnAHorse Thank you so much. Yes I do. I'll PM you.

[CBUGaming]

Amazing! your singing and playing was just exceptionally good! :)

[MelissaEforLife]

This is so amazingly beautiful! I got more goosebumps with you than Tim and I absolutely love him! Bravo buddy, I'm proud of you.

[staleczlonki]

great, original cover ;) like the style, especially the chorous.

[projektnachtmelodie]

I love the way you play it on guitar.... could you please explain your guitar setup? It sounds great...

[boynamedbri]

@projektnachtmelodie Thank you. :) You can see my full gear setup at my website if you'd like, but for guitar... I play a Music Man John Petrucci (6-string model), a Diezel Herbert amp, and I record through a Palmer PGA 04 speaker simulator. I've been very happy with all 3.

[79itsjustme]

@thesidewindersleeps Wow, you're a funny guy. We all know that Bri is very talented. Just to remind you that Karma does exist and every bad things you say will come back to you one day, so be wise.

[boynamedbri]

@79itsjustme Thanks for the kind words, Byanka. I really appreciate them.

I've gone ahead and blocked that guy. No point to liter my posting with comments like his. :)

[thesidewindersleeps]

@79itsjustme Ye karma exists...ur one of those idiots that has a "Magic Happens" bumper sticker right? haha

[TieDyeGuitarGuy]

good job man, surprisingly good!

[boynamedbri]

@TieDyeGuitarGuy Thanks very much. :) This track (and lots of others) are up for download on my website if you want to hear a higher quality version.

[boynamedbri]

Thanks so much!

[bubble992]

Nice cover, i love this song. Love how you made it your own, and you have a beautiful voice.

[boynamedbri]

@bubble992 Thanks so much for saying so. It's very kind of you. :)

[bubble992]

@boynamedbri no problem, keep up the great singing :)

[boynamedbri]

Thank you, both. :)

[meowsayscow]

LOve your voice and as always, great cover :)

[kram175]
