the guitar is incredibly accurate and well done i know we would all appreciate to know what tuning youre in since it seems to be an open one. very well done cover
Wow. I've been clicking around to different covers of this song for a brief listen to each, and this is the only one that made me stop and listen the whole way through. Beautiful. Rock on.
You have a beautiful voice brother. I knew this song was in an open tuning. Care to share the tuning your using? I've been trying to incorporate this sone in my set.
well done man the best cover ive heard of this song!!
btw wat did u use to sync the audio and video together i also use garageband for recording but i want to add video aswell!!and what video editing software did you use to get that screen in screen effect with the cello's?
Hey there man. I just wanted to say that this is one of the most beautiful covers of this song. the cello adds such an amazing feeling for the song. great stuff man, its on my ipod :)
I just have to agree with the rest of the comments on here. Simply amazing. I never expected that voice to come out of you! Bon Iver is one of those artists that I will never listen to covers of...but you did it and did it well. I want to use this arrangement for when I walk down the aisle in a few months...where did you get the music or did you just figure it out yourself? I am going to have a string quartet and want them to play it just like this!
I really like your style of music. congrats for have released your ep. I came to know your music two years ago throug purevolume. What program do you use to edit and do you have any studio monitors? I'm trying to make my music sound as good as yours. Surely the ear is the most important part in the process...
you really captured the essence of the original.. so many people don't use the open d tuning and those deep, rich tones are lost, not you though... nicely done!
GOSH! this is just brilliant!! everything about this cover screamsssss amaziness!!! and i play the cello and guitar.. and i just admire the emotion of this!!!!
THIS IS REDICULOUSLY GOOD!!! I want to go tell Bon Iver to come and listen to this! he'd be so proud!!
p.s. Bon Iver is one of my favourite artists and i can't believe im saying this but i think i prefer this version to his! and i NEVER say this..especially with Bon Iver
This is THE best cover on youtube period. Posting your link to my facebook profile for my friends to view. This should have 5,815,000 views! The cello is a gorgeous addition to the feel of the song!
man this is a solid cover. I'm a huge fan of bon iver, and I think you really bring out some of the highlights of this song. I'd love to hear a version with a little more cello. The melody is so strong and you get it to sound even better on the cello.
The chorus could refer to a burden on the shoulders you build up and eventually remove after time? Just my interpretation. At least, that way it containts way more substance for me to relate to the song (i never play poker).
How many vocal harmony tracks did you do? Your voice layers really well. Reminds me of like Iron and Wine covering Bon Iver. Wish we had more musicians like you in Richmond, VA...
not too fancy, breedlove guitar, AKG 400 mic, plugged the guitar into a firepod which goes to garageband. simple simple. cellos mic'd on the same as the guitar.
Best cover of anything I've ever seen...ever....this song gives me the shivers, man. Beautiful guitar playing, voice and cello playing. Accurate in every possible way.
what the fuck?!?! this is...incredible, a cover rarely leaves me feeling the way this did. damn, maybe i shouldnt cover this. really really, just amazing ahhh. angers me its only got 800ish views! easily one of the best covers, period!
i never comment on videos, but i couldn't NOT on this one. really, this is comes closest to the actual thing, and the cello is such a nice touch. i'm definitely going to be showing this to every bon iver fan i know and get you more views.
Can you post the chords? I know the basic ones, but the chorus has me tripped up. Thanks!
