@caseyfive5 they add some weird electric sounds and beats or something that goes against the whole earthiness of the song and it feels inconsistent in a way. it doesn't flow as well after that point.
the music is an upbeat version to the trapeze swinger by iron & wine. everyone who's freaking out about this should calm down. most covers are pretty controversial and you have to give the band some credit for putting a completely new spin on it, and figuring out how to mash two really different original songs. I give it a thumbs up.
Why do people even think of this as a remake. If you're thinking that way you're judging this according to the original, which is of a completely different genre, it's obviously going to be stupid. This is an amazing folk cover, if anyone was going to do a folk cover of Pursuit of Happiness this is probably the best it can get.
Kudos to them to even have the guts to do a folk cover of a Cudder track.
This is terrible. wtf, just go kill yourselves right now. I almost laughed so hard when you guys threw an echo on the word gold somewhere around 1 minute in. Seriously Go suck each others cocks some more.
@rummsicle just grab it from clipnabber and convert. The links are on my page. Otherwise download it from torrents ;) Make sure you grab the original too as 99% or original versions are better.
i have to agree with @GossipGirl212 a little bit (though I wouldn't call it the "worst fucking cover i've ever heard"), this cover doesn't really do it for me, not really my taste
OH HELL NAWWW

Is soulful and I really like it. But at 2:40'ish, it really loses something. Did anyone else notice that?
