Julie Moffitt - It's the End of The World (As We Know It)

[notkirkcameron]

Absolutely beautiful. Takes guts to take a well-known song at a well-known tempo and turn it on its head. The song sounds less angsty and more hopeful. Keep it up!

[HoosierJedi]

Never would have thought this would work as a slow song. But this isn't bad.

[micene1982]

Your voice it's outstanding for sure, and you can play piano greatly.

But this song does not work this way.

Thumbs up for your courage, anyway ;)

[kingcrimson234]

this just does not work at all, sorry. it's very bad. not that you can't sing or play the piano, it's just that this song sounds absolutely awful like this.

[alexabbottboyd]

@kingcrimson234 yeah, of course it will sound horrible when you're only wanting to hear what's familiar. Open up your mind for a minute.

[SureOkayYeah]

Very loose interpretation of this song. The original is full angst, anger and rebellion. This sounds like a love song. It's not.

[Pharaoh28]

Is it just me or does it look like she is making love to the piano as she plays it?

[akustika25]

Talented, yes. But this cover feels all wrong. Anyone singing so cheerfully about the rapture would be considered mentally ill.

[Pharaoh28]

@akustika25 Every ending is just the beginning of something else. It's not something for fear.

[studefender]

очень чувственное пение по моему мнению-спасибо за эту песню!:)

владимир. россия барнаул

[easyguitarfrankfurt]

It was not what I expected as Im used to the song much faster, but I think its great, anyway!!! You have an awesome voice and yeah; I like this kind of interpretation!!

[ugety]

she sounds sluty

[bradjay]

I really like this interpretation.

[doubledown109]

LIKE!

[AyoJosh239]

your singing this at a church...

[7thSkywalker]

May the end come with music. But let it be just a tat faster than this.

[starfox300]

Very nice!

[caryannc]

uh you're dumb. and rude.  you should shut up, just a suggestion..........

[KanzlerM]

I think it works only because it doesn't really work.

It's the absurdity of it that makes it.

If the fast version didn't already exist, this would be lame, but as a sort of counterpoint it works.

[gpeddino]

Beautiful rendition, but the song became too sad...

[ellman121]

Good Job. Your a little slow on the tempo, but wtill well done!!!

[JoeyPotter4444]

Your voice is beautiful!!!

Very nice :)

[SinisterSoul93]

That song is only good when it's fast. You can really sing, but slow songs need lyrics with a meaning, and that song just doesn't make sense, which is why it fits the fast music. Got nothing against you though your great.

[ollie333]

I agree with this guy, this is definitely a song which should be up tempo and fast. Slow it just loses all meaning.

[TyMan1229]

@SinisterSoul93 I think slowed down it almost sounds poetic. Don't try and compare it to the original so much. I think its really interesting to see it played like this

[mirG]

I really enjoyed that.

[Michael5678]

Well you certainly changed it, which is very good. But I'm not sure it works entirely. Great singing, I'm just not sure this is the direction a song like this should be taken in.

[tsanderson24]

its ok, but it felt less entergetic then R.E.M.

just that, but you got yourself a great voice

[LowellGarrett]

Great cover! Grab yourself a grand piano next time instead of an electric!

[microsofteye]

i know i gave it 2 stars that becosue it to slow but its good apart from that

[losdelhacki]

when whill you come to Germany? Love to see you live!!!!! great performance, nice interpretation and a really good version of this song! Impressive!

[copaloca16]

Great voice...great play...really good...but!..i feel that you took away the positive energy of this song...i don't know..when i listen to the R.E.M.s song it fills me with energy and it makes me happy...of course your cover is brilliant! love what you've done

[Jaylyons1]

everything was beautiful about this one...

[crazyphish68]

that was insanely awesome

[parkateerwastaken]

Great song, beautiful interpretation.

[atkinsisadick]

The point of a cover is for the person to interpret a song in their own way. And this one is more than sufficient and is very well done. quit being so unsupportive. . . assholes.

[hosseher]

Damn, Julie! You can make even the end of the word sound sexy.... XD I really like this version of the song... You can almost cuddle with your girlfriend to this (if u don't pay attention to the lyrics, of course)... lol

[1devo6587]

not to be mean,you sound good but this song was ment to be a fast paced, high energy , happy sounding song! and for me,playing it this way just kills the song.but beacuse of how good you sing ill give you 3 stars

[CommentorX]

1devo, the song isn't "ment" to be anything. It's called an interpretation - how a different artist sees the music. Open your mind instead of just comparing the piece to the original.

Oh, and writing, "not to be mean" doesn't excuse you from being an asshole. What is she supposed to do after the performance, pull the video because YOU don't like it?

[xXGaaraoftheFunkXx]

its good just too slow.....WAYYYY TO SLOW!! no energy...that brought it down to 3 stars

[SongsForJulia]

I'm so in love with you.

You oughtta watch my video of this song.

Maybe you'll like me too.

[mpfmax]

its good, but it needs more energy, well thtas a matter of tastes, lets go in a rush of happiness and puuuuurrrfection! ill stop a plane with my hand when i die! well that would be awesome!

[RefusedStone]

Hate to be mean, but that completely ruined the song...

[cmenschen]

awesome version!

aweeeeeeesome version!

aweeeeeeeeeeeeeesome voice!

i'm in love...

[Frostypeanut]

Awesome.

[gomo3000]

im sorry to be negitive, but you have killed the happiness of a REM song (your a good singer and pianoist, but your just too much of a dreary singer and your cover has such a lack of energy for this song)... sorry to be nasty but its ment to be a fun powerful song, rtaher than a shitty sad pop song (tryign playing at the tempo as the original song and it woudl be an excilent song, but you kinda killed it atm)...sorry

[gentlebuddhist]

That was amazing! Marry me!

[picaas]

great arrangement

[andespin]

great!

[westwingr]

Julie,

That was outstanding. Your talent and imagination is something you should zealously cultivate.

I am the music editor for a local Baltimore MD magazine. My advice to you is find a top-notch coach and go for it!

[agband]

I absolutely love original versions of popular songs. This is excellent stuff!

[JerrysTube]

Julia's really sorta Pretty!

[kalikalaloi]

I've got the same keyboard... and you make it sound awesome:)

[dodoarmy]

Another great song. I enjoyed your videos so much I had to buy the CD. Just curious if you are releasing new stuff anytime soon and if Dallas will be on the CD? Keep up the good work

[DanielSelf]

NICE! We gotta be friends. I play keyboard and piano, we just gotta be friends, I hope you get this.

[ProudAnselmo]

Wow... the best covers make you hear things you didn't hear in the original, like looking at a sculpture from a different angle and seeing something new. This qualifies.

[MacBast2007]

SUPERB,who is your favorite singer or group Julie?

[JulieMoffittVideo]

I don't play favorites ;)  But I do listen to a lot of indie music (like Jonatha Brooke and Regina Spektor), and bands like Something Corporate and The Fray.

[swmrdak79]

Great cover but I like your original stuff even more. Love the Dallas video.

[AmunPtah]

Hey! A very nice and different version of the classic REM song.
