  • Maybe it's the glasses, but you look a bit like Lennon, at least in this vid's angle.. ^^

  • Very nice. Vocals remind me of a modern, slightly folky. Paul Simon - I like! x

  • you remind me of john lennon

  • 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

  • too fast but very good job

  • awesome! =)

  • tunnels to gates of whiteeeeeeeeeee

  • Be careful with these "fast cover version" because it's hard to sing fast so you kinda start talking.

    Other that that great cover!!

  • this is totally amazing!

    best cover ive seen in ages

  • Most excellent - this cover is the cover that destroys all other covers of this song ... by leagues

  • Sick tha man!

  • you sound like my high school teacher singing..

    haha it's nice to hear a familiar voice~

  • Really good, but i like it alot better when its normal speed. :)

  • Holy crap this made me get all teary-eyed and I'm sitting in the middle of class right now lol

  • little slower and this would be epic

  • sounds great

  • hes not playing it live

  • nice cover but the slower is better . nice voice

  • I like it a lot but I like the slower version better.

  • You should do a slow cover too. It would be just as amazing ;)

    Great job. Beautiful.

  • damn wen i first saw this video i was like "eh another cover", but then i heard u sing i was like "holy shit this guy's good".

    Good job man! :)

  • 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.

  • Good , but man slow down ,, :P

  • slow down dude

  • A bit fast, but great *__*

  • thats the point for it to be fast

  • OMG im glad im not the only one who got the john lennon vibe from this guy wow

  • I like your voice a lot more than Gibbard's. Its so much smoother. Awesome work.

  • absolutly lovely :)

  • lennonesk sounding voice

  • love this!!

  • wow. this is the only cover that i actually like so far (there are alot of scary ones out there). your voice sounds amazingly cool.

  • very similar style to that of Johny Lennon's! and look haha

  • Maybe he is Johny Lennon lol

  • This is sooo awesome. I did a cover too but yours is better. Plus thats an awesome strat in the backround. What kind is it?

  • hey there, sorry for the late reply. the strat is an early 80's japanese squier.

  • OH MY GOD, you're awsome!!

  • Dude your awsome!

  • wonderful!

  • wow that was great!

  • Wow, this was really good! I like it!

  • wow! gratulacje ;)

  • Dude, I love the guitar, your singing, just not the tempo. I know it says fast cover version, but it feels rushed. Other than that awesome.

  • Sounds like 'Honey and the Moon'

    Nice version.

  • I second that. Beautiful songs anyway.

  • nice!

  • nicely done!

  • Hey man, very good job.

  • i love this, reminds me of john lennon a little bit, great stuff man

  • Yes, actually, he looks a lot like John Lennon!

  • bravo i liked this version better

  • that was a great version johnny. as they say in my country - "feel aagayi" lolx

  • cooool

  • you a a beautiful acoustic

  • Ahh. Amazing.

  • 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.

  • Really great cover.

    You did not make this song sound bat all, good thing sicne I absolutely love this song.

    Truly beautiful.

    Keep it up, please!

  • Dooooood, you gotz skillz.

  • Hes a stunt double!! lol great cover man

  • 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.

  • hahahahahaha!!!all this talk about john lennon

  • JOHN LENNON!

    thats definitely john lennon :)

  • lol its john lennon!!!

  • Is that electric guitar just for display or what?

  • i have about 9 guitars, and a small room.. they have to sit somewhere.. that one just happened to be in the shot :)

  • 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! :)

  • I think it sounds better a bit slower, from one John to another!

  • Good, but he does not look like John Lennon...

  • Really so great. Added to my Best of Covers playlist. And my I Will Follow You Into the Dark list.

  • John Lennon?! :o

    thats creepy....

    your face and voice.

    woahh.

  • I knew John Lennon wasn't dead!!!

  • You look like John Lennon, but that are you knowing now. (excuse my english,In sweden we are bad on that ;D ). You are good. :)

  • really man u sound like john lennon man! :D

  • holy shit its john lennon

  • you really look like a tele-tubi. jaja

    You rock!!!

  • ah, a baby taylor , they're magic guitars! =]

    nice voice =]

    you look really like john lennon!

  • dood you look like john lennon oh and nice job bro i like the cover

  • haha, very funny.

    but thanks :)

  • have you ever been told that you possess a striking resemblence to john lennon?

  • about a hundred times.. but i don't see it.. lol

    now if only i could write songs as good as he did.

  • I REEEEAAAAAALLLLLYYYYYYY like your voice. :) good range and tone.

  • fantastic! ... beautiful song + jonnyonline = beautiful cover!

  • Hey Johnny,

    As usual very nice!!

    I became a big fan of you.

    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! ;)

    keep om playing, you're great!

    greetz from the Netherlands.

  • your voice is very nice...

  • its like you hear great songs and fix whatevers wrong with them.........do you sell cd's? i would so buy them

  • Wrong, i actually liked the song better when it was slower. Way to fast for me. Don't misunderstand me, the guy is skilled.

  • 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'

  • wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo­wowo!!!!!!

  • 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.

  • Do it, if you can !

  • I once again am really happy with what you have done.

  • its so much nicer faster! :D

  • nice job man, been a death cab fan for a long time, but this is as good as the original. out of interest, what guitar is that? it sounds beautiful.

  • it's a baby taylor.. a little 3/4 steel string

  • I love the original, but I almost like the faster tempo even more. Fantastic job!

  • =) it's good

  • reminds me of matt costa in this song now all you need to do is write songs johnny

  • i do.. i write a new original song and put it up here on youtube once every couple of weeks

  • this song makes me sad and happy at the same time

  • That's what Ben Gibbard does.

  • you should have a record contract man. your very talented

  • hehe he looks like john lennon. ^^

  • Haha, he does :D He's pretty good.

  • omg this is the best cover i've heard for this song... you are amazing! get a record label so i can become a devoted fan lol

  • get a record deal and make a cd....

    please ha ha

    that was amazing

  • 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

  • beautiful beyond words.

  • Ohhhh my god.

    This is better than the original by so much.

    You have an amazing voice.

    I loovvveee this.

  • Please grow some chops... and get produced.

  • chops? as in mutton chops? as in sideburns?

  • my favorite version is yours and blinktwice4y's

  • the best cover i've ever listened

    can't find words to describe;

  • Hey dude, seriously, can't you record this? i really want it as a mp3-song. it's absolutely awesome.

  • i want that guitar!

  • dude, i really love this. keep it up man. pls comment on my short film "case closed"

  • fricking cool

  • hey johnny... i love your work! especially your cover of this song. it kinda inspired me. haha really.

  • much sexier then when I play and sing it. Keep it up son. enjoy your stuff

  • It's really well done, but I just don't like that it's faster. I always found it relaxingly slow. Still, that was an amazing cover. Good job. :)

  • Better than the original? Possibly...

  • love this song!

  • this song fills my soul

  • john! i've been listening to this song non-stop... and then i just saw you did a cover. simply awesome. keep it up buddy!!

  • not bad. you should check out blinktwice4y's version. he nails it.

  • awesome. ill have to learn that charming song.

    i just noticed that we have the same dunlop capo.

    -thee elliot mitchell

  • i think i just fell for you. <3

  • 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.

  • has anyone told you that you look like lennon?

  • quite a bit actually.. but only on youtube. lol

  • 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 ; )

  • one mic is on the guitar and one on my voice.. there's actually a slightly more stereo mix of this on myspace of u wanna hear it.

  • Wonderful. Your voice is great. Love the song.

  • 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!

  • u call this music? oh i see u dont know the real music

    \m/ DEATH METAL \m/

  • dude... as if that's real music??? it's nearly like hardcore, trance and hardstyle... can't call that music anymore

    I'm also into rock, some metal, hardrock and punk, but your not sensitive at all if you don't like this... he puts a lot of feelings in this...

  • 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.

    Are, you, retarded?

  • i love this song... and ur voice... so that makes this awesome

  • YOu must have deep feeling of love for sb or sth. Nice

  • A voice that eerily mirrors John Lennon's. I like it very much.

  • AMAZING!! ur voice and playing are incredible dude good job!!

  • it is amazing but if you sing that slowly it would be Gr34T!!

  • dude just heard the video that was just posted.... why arent you signed to any label? or are you?

  • Good job! on a song that i really love by a band that i love!

    your voice is beautiful! ^^

    jeepers.. i need some recording equipment so i can put some of my own music on youtube.. haha.. er.. anywhere for that matter..

  • I hate comparing one musician to another, but your voice is so lovely that I honestly like your version better than the original...

  • outstanding.

  • 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.

  • i always love guitar! n ur voice match the sound of the guitar perfectly! nice job
