First day of my life (Bright Eyes cover)

[royc8]

Tried to play this last year by listening to your cover/seeing your picking, and failed miserably. Tried again just now, and succeeded! oh the joys of progress. Always nice to come back to this cover and listen!

[happinesawaits]

you sound just like him, i love it.

[mschwister12]

your guitar sounds really nice!

[Sssunsshine]

Where's your passion?

[Abbyness92]

That was really really well played.sounded beautiful :)

[MrBarrowzscape]

4 dislikes!?

[0XxCarolinexX0]

I've watched this video 7 something times and I only just noticed those little purple and yellow and green reflections on your guitar.

[StardustBeatle1039]

This is my favorite cover of that song. It sure beats my crappy Bright Eyes cover...

[ArtemisMProductions]

Made my day :)

[nickscott10A]

thats really well played dave. did u arrange this yourself? is it possible for you to post a link for the tab you used? No one else on youtube plays the proper accompaniment but you've managed to replicate it perfectly and make it sound even better than the original. you've really out-done yourself and everyone on youtube yet again. congrats mate

[iamasecretnerd]

I think this is better than the original.

[t3gan]

I don't know if Dave reads the comments, but if he does:

Cover Lua please?

[mc213mc]

Along with everything else that's magical and enthralling about this, you manage also to make it look easy.

Amazing.

[alaninnh]

Damn, you're good!!

[ZowieFillups]

that was beautiful. honestly. i'd never listened to bright eyes before, but you've turned me on to them. thank you.

[andrsdtz]

simply awesome dave :)

[Tuzaya]

Still like the Bright Eyes version better (just something about his voice I think, you can always feel the rawest emotion behind it) but you did a pretty swell job!

[cmm23801]

beautiful/great rendition.

[jadeemu]

amazing :]

[15Smartie15]

I think I like yours better than Bright Eyes's version

[TheDuskwhales]

good stuff man.

[nillyvanilla3]

listening to your music makes me feel warm and fuzzy. :)

[0King2Of0Yesterday]

I started learning to play guitar a few weeks ago and was just thinking how I probably won't ever be as good as you (I can barely play Wonderwall right) and you said "These things take forever". Anyway, I really like this. You know, a lot of the bands I listen to now are ones I've went and looked up after you did covers of their songs.

[hilloffski]

gorgeous cover. you always seem completely in the mood of your songs, I think it's your eyes.

[randomtinkfan93]

This is incredibly beautiful! <3

[PhantomGladiator17]

[ANNOYINGGAMEGUY]

DAVE. you should make a cover of a noah and the whale song, one of the ones from the 1st album, cos the second is just emo :P

LOVE YA <3

[MyShowbizName]

Why have I heard this before? Probably your fault.

Was quite nice actually.

[Antworkk]

awesome :)

[chloebirdd]

i literally only came onto youtube to listen to this song, as i'd not heard it in ages. and this video was the first in my sub box. slightly weirded out. however, lovely cover. :) x

[shewhoeatsdaffodils]

winwinwin.

[alexpayrr]

Love this cover!!!

Make me smile (=

<3

[OriginalNAMBLA]

is this your way of getting psyched for the new album?

i always chose a song to be my own private official song of the year and it's always the first song i listen to in the new year, and this year I chose "first day of my life". Spooky.

This was beautiful by the way. It reminded me of why I love Bright Eyes and your music.

[MoHaWkx3MoLe]

faaaavorite song of all time -3

& awesome coveeeeerrr. (:

[cocoschips]

very, very good!

i have a question, what is the full name of your epiphone guitar? thanks and greetz from germany;-)

[DrunkNBrawlin]

God damn that looked hard to play when I look at your fingers.

[ANNOYINGGAMEGUY]

i think this has made my life. <3

[xStriKer6x]

i love this song

[lysmeanslily]

this is so surreal because i just started listening to this song a lot yesterday and then today...well. that's alot of coincidence sir.

[augustcinnamon]

ooh this is so brilliant!

[Chocaz]

awesome song, I'll carry it around now in my phone, thanks:)

[thiswestcoastweather]

Love this, one of my favourite songs!

[krazeelocomiststuck]

Dave, I'm really happy you covered this song. Thank you. As well as At The Bottom of Everything. I miss talking to you and the rest of you guys from across the pond. I hope everything's going well for you.

Cheers,

Bryan

[bcrava182]

another amazing bright eyes cover. SO GOOD! i wish i could play this song that well, finger picking and all, instead of strumming the chords lol

good job!

[xxLibs]

Me looking like this -> *.*

You're awesome :)

[FaniFranzel]

You know I will sit in front of my computer and wartch this 10 times because I really like it. You do? Okay. Thanks.

[XxToxicDesiresxX]

[KickThePj]

Woo! I loved it. play me off dave *doodaladoodladoodoodla*

[breakfastroute]

I've always thought this song sounds just like Don't think twice it's alright by Dylan. Can't decide if that's a good thing or not. Good performance though! Keep it up!

[adamhanney]

@breakfastroute Yeah, the chords are super similar haha. I've always noticed that :P

[amoclin]

Yet another example of you choosing to cover the exact song I hope you will. Thank you :)

[arcopizzicato]

you're just really really awesome with the guitar you know that? hehe :D

[laughingatyourface]

This cover was just magnificent! I really like when you sing songs like this, and songs like The world's still ending (but it's cool) (:

[GregVlog]

I like when you cover songs I dont know, so then i know them..

[QueenOfTheAubergines]

oooh oooh ooooooh I'm the first person to see and comment! (apparently) tehe :) That may be because I've been on my laptop almost all day and saw every single video that was in my subscriptions box no more than two hours after they were posted :)

ANYWAY

You have the most beautiful voice EVER, you can play the guitar stupidly well, and this song really suits you voice, and I'm babbling because this video made me so happy :):):)

[Lele9540]

Beautiful cover! I love this song :)

[GardenHeath]

:D
