Great cover, i like how you can follow the story with your cover, cause of the singing is like creeping around the melody :S kinda hard to explain : P
all these people telling you to slow down are retarded and obviously didnt read that it was a faster version. i like it sped up, but you should play the ends of the verses for another measure so it doesnt sound like you're going from verse to chorus to verse with NO transitions. it'll sound more natural. but you play it well and sing it even better. good job.
i thought that this would come out a little chipmunk-y, but you did a great job. it still had that soul that made people fall in love with with it. it was great.
You did a good job, it sounded really good. I imagine it's more fun to play faster. I just think it loses a little soul when sped up like that. You do a good job at keeping feeling in it though.
Good sound. I ws thinking to myself "Sounds more like a folk song". I can see that other commentors agre witht he whole :John Lennon" thing. A bit fast for my liking, but you definetly have vocal and instrumental talent. Nice work.
I think the song sounds better when it's slower, because it's a beautiful, morbid song, that can't really be rushed, or it sorta doesn't have the same kind of depressing, but gorgeous aura. But I really like it when you do it fast! Most other people who do it fast I don't really like as much, but I think that you did a really great job with this! Keep it up! :)
The way how you play the guitar like this reminds me of the song Romeo and Juliet from the Dire Straits. Thats given me the idea to request to you... Please play that song! ;)
dude you rock out loud, i can play this song as well. i got an epiphone les paul for christmas, it standard version. its blue. plays really nice. i also have an yahaha acoustic guitar. plays good. keep on rockin'
Excellent voice. I'm planning to put a few of my covers up, including this one. Unfortunately, I can't quite get the slapping motion he does with his thumb down, so I just fingerpick.
Great is not enough for this song... It's just perfect.. =| and I dont agree with the slow down comments.. You clearly didnt want it to be like the original.. it's your own version and let me tell you it's unique and wonderfull like this... Good job johnny! That's all I can say without using "Awesome!" like I allways do... But it's awesome anyway! =P
i'm right on track with you fellow youtuber and now i want go to my recent posting of julie doiron "no more" dark version from my poor angle at the artspace narrow views she does a dark version--way different from her new video but i like it all the same.
Hey John!! Still seriously addicted to your version of this song. One question... did you use both mic's in this take to get your voice captured so well. And I'm still waiting on my cookie vid. Just get it out of the way cuz you know I'll keep pestering you for it ; )
This song was put for a video tribute to my nephews dad when he died in Dec, I think you did a good renduring and your voice is great. Don't listen to those asses who have the nerve to say you can't call this music because you are great!
there is no one type of music known as real music, dont be so fucking narrow-minded. You think death metal wasn't influenced by anything and came from no where? There would be no death metal without many other REAL types of music to give birth to death metal.
i love this one soo much, i wish i could repeat it all the time ;), your voice is soo beautiful, and the song is so peaceful.. absolutely love this one!!!
I Love This Song! I heard it on the radio one day and i thought i would buy it on Itunes, but then i realised i already had it and so i went home and listened to 10000000 times.
NICHT WEITERLESEn!!!!!wenn du diesen text nicht kopierst und in 7 andere videos einfügst stirbst du innerhalb von einem jahr qualvoll tust du dies dagegn dann wirst du in denn nächsten 7 tage von etwas schönes überrascht
Maybe it's the glasses, but you look a bit like Lennon, at least in this vid's angle.. ^^
