Newton Faulkner - Foundations

[hubugoogoo]

My fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustacean, and I try to play with lego, but I can't.

[TASTIIC]

I actually love this so much

[leaahshaaw]

81 people who hit the dislike button have been eating too many lemons and are bitter

[frkyannie]

[TheM00N3R]

[khuggf]

I often try to play with Lego but I can't.

[wills2w]

I love Kate Nash, but this cover is WAY better than the original! =)

[spoonsandthings]

'and say something like, yes intelligent input darrling. why don't you have another glass of wine'' his voicey is lovely :D

[anyonebutyou01]

beautiful man.

[6Satu9]

NEWTON FAULKNER YOU GENIUS YOU- I mean. This song made my day. The guys' a genius.

[zeldabasher]

N'aw Newton you babe! <3

[dylan96unearth]

Please give my cover a listen :) It's in the video response bit, I would appreciate it so much :) Newton Faulkner is my biggest inspiration :D

[96acousticguitar]

@dylan96unearth Nice cover dude!

[dylan96unearth]

@96acousticguitar Thanks man:), but I'll never reach Newts level haha :D

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[MissPinkySparkles]

YES! :)

[20alexwright]

I have the hand chair in the first picture!!!

[therealalicecullen13]

This is amazing,, really. i dont lie kate nash but this is amazing.

[jsdoddy]

the amazin thing is hes doing the percussion on his guitar whilst singing and playing lol

[LadyThoopie]

a song that i can always come back to and smile.. <3

[TheSuperFroggieGirl]

It is just so cute the way he's like "have another glass of wine" :) <3

[96acousticguitar]

Brilliant song, made it awesome...That guy in the video response bit, his version is pretty damn good as well :D

[BeckyBeatle]

Hiya, I'm just asking but does Newton do this in his concerts? If not.. WHY NOT NEWTON! <3 :D

[kerrangrocks]

i like it!

[pokermanfin]

he owns this song if he released it, it would of been a smash, this man is a genius and i would turn for him in a heartbeat!!

[titaboy123]

note as good as Kate but not bad...

NO ONE can beat Kate..

and he should of cursed - i mean its just "shit".

[BunyiipProductions]

@titaboy123  I much prefer this. Theres just something about Kate's voice that really annoys the hell out of me :') Also, he couldn't swear because he was doing this live on the radio ^_^

[MysticMagicalMayhem]

I prefer his version to Kate Nash's!

[redheadrockchick]

God he makes this sound so refreshing...I have always loved this man! He creates beautiful music!

[dingbatthe1st]

Hey, Newton has been nominated for the Silver Clef Live Award. He's the best live performer I've ever seen, so he gets my vote. How about yours - vote now and tell all your friends - google nordoff-robbins

[burr0yraiza]

LISTEN my new cover "back to black" of amy winehouse, comment thank you

:D

[Sufieh]

AWESOME COVER!

[danielmythen]

such a happy song

[rugbywill05]

wow what can i say this is just amazing

[xFurtive]

the alkward moment when a cover is better than the original...

[Strawbster]

@xFurtive well said

[cudaswimmer123]

@xFurtive the awkward moment when you misspell "awkward"...

[xFurtive]

@cudaswimmer123 alright you troll... this the internet, not school. SNM

[Film240292]

This is so much better than Kate Gash..

[M0Cr0139]

76 people don't have Lego..

[TheBlondeButton]

This is such a good cover. I just wish he would've played it when I saw him in Sydney. But being a POME I probably would have been the only one to know it.

Newton you are a legend :) x

[yeyforoxygen]

how could anyone dislike this?! -_-

[MrTigeriffic]

@yeyforoxygen you pose a good question i have a few theorys

No.1 Jealousy

No.2 Envy

No.3 Tone deaf fools who listen to coperate marketing tools aka pop music

[lfctwentytwo]

the bit around 0:26 really makes me lol he sounds so posh haha newton is a legend!

[ChrisHallMusic]

I love this! haha

[fortenseconds]

I think Kate Nash could do with a bit of help from Newton Faulkner!

[billielouu]

that is a proper cover.

[Untitleder]

2,000th like! :) 

[FeathersT21]

So glad i heard this, i really can't stand the original!!!

[MissYay11]

1.04 :)

[MrChristopherCooper]

Cheers everyone ! I've heard of most if these guys but nobody will ever touch on Olivia Newton James Faulkner :)

[dylan96unearth]

@MrChristopherCooper His real name is Sam Newton Battenburg Faulkner :)

[nomezy101]

nomnomnomhair..............

[MrChristopherCooper]

does anyone know some similar artists to newton?

[intriguedpunk]

@MrChristopherCooper I'd say there are similarities between him and Duke Special, just with piano rather than guitar. Perhaps also Noelie McDonald and Kurt Nilsen.

[theblackrose1510]

@MrChristopherCooper in terms of guitar style there are a lot of guys out there. Don Ross, Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Craig D'Andrea can all be found on here. Search for Candyrat and they'll come up. Erm Eric Roche, Preston Reed, Thomas Leeb and Erik Mongrain are a few more off the top of my head. Not many people play and sing like this. Try Michael Hedges and Jon Gomm hope that helps

[Rockificationxx]

@MrChristopherCooper He's one of a kind to be honest :)

[bettycaragh]

AMAZING

replay much?

i think so xx

[iffywiggle]

legend

[davidpluspeace]

and i try to play wi' lego but i cant

[lfctwentytwo]

the more i listen to newton faulkner the more i wonder why he's not spoken about more..he is actually quite amazing!

[intoknowledge333]

This is one of the best covers i've ever heard, not just of this song. Amazing. His voice is killer and he's quite engaging as just a voice with a guitar, and not just in concert. Bravo man!

[poppylouiseflowers]

Why dont you have another glass on Wine.

[BingoBangoTweet]

@thelineof Vevo keeps Youtube free. Fuck off.

[TheLadyFrodo]

this shouldn't have a dislike button

[Dougthegoat]

@JosephCurteisFoxx i heard this live on the radio, i was crying with laughter for about 10 mins, still makes me chuckle

[yannickbehrendt]

what's wrong about the 70 people disliking this amazing cover? ^^

[mymumissostupid]

I don't know who this guy is but he's done a really good cover.

[EliJFoxtrot]

anyone else hear a little 'el scorcho' vibe in the bit about lemons?

[lifeonmars90]

Oh I love him , my mama met him .

[LizzieKemball]

Ahh... Ginger Jesus, you ledge!

[ThimothyBootz]

"I try to play with Lego, but i can't" :")

Love this dude!

[kaiiie03]

I think that this way is so better!

[19AFC88]

Don't see how people can dislike this cover. Oh wait..... nope still cant.

[Msdragoz]

este vato es grand se me kaso cn el si el kiere hahaha so much la mejor

[FenderStrat3259]

Newton is a great musiciant!

[IAINoodle]

[LostandBored]

[gnundkumar]

[tvrulesnation]

Is he actually a rasta or what?

[missedparker]

'why don't you have another glass of wine?'

[Sushiesser]

"and i'm trying to play with lego but i can't" this part made me become a huge fan of him^^

[vanessatrelane]

Crustacean? LOL

[AbbieSparks]

I love it that all the people commenting on this love him as much as I do :)

[indiegirl24]

Amazing- his voice is beautiful!

[jeanmarccamilleri]

[ImNotVainJustBetter]

[amieebeaa]

NEWTON IS AMAING <3

[coralli100]

[benfarley09]

[TheKuttingRoomz]

2:26 - xD Fucking genius!!!!!!

[TheKuttingRoomz]

From a technical musical perspective, this version is so much better.

[TheBiloshambles]

@TheKuttingRoomz true! u seriously cant argue with that :D

[greatvideos2008]

Brillant !!! Probably better than the orginal :)

[longgstar]

its nice to hear that song sand in proper English haha :)

[MrHathouse]

Oh deary me, is there anything this man can't turn into audio gold? This is a million times better than the original, and it's great to hear someone who can sing and play an instrument in tune live!

[FunkyAssSammy]

most beautiful man voice ever..

ovethinking.. yes it is :)

[orianna2509]

magic love it!

[babewivbrains24]

Didn't think it was possible for it to be so good! Literally magic that was!

[crouchtrac]

I think you could literally give this man any song in the world and he'll do it better

[123Flatty]

oh my fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustation, and i try to play wioth lego but i can´t.....

[000colourful000]

[rachieface103]

[XNo1XLuvzXMeX]

[jonnymobs790]

@XNo1XLuvzXMeX nah dude thats him slaping the guitar as he plays it. verry talented

[XNo1XLuvzXMeX]

@jonnymobs790 oh my god :D he's amazing.

[jonnymobs790]

@XNo1XLuvzXMeX probable one of the best live acts around. here you think thats amazing try searching Eric roche. he was the one who taught newton. absolute ledgend

[AnonMusicable]

I listen to this every Thursday night. :D

[themoshingmop]

His influence on any song just turns it into magic

[jonnymobs790]

better than the original!

[djmagicful]

byeruful song

[youknowusmell]

Newton Faulkner couldn't have pwned Kate Nash any better :)

[CrystalMe123]

Really good

[AcornsAndAntlers]

SO much better <3 newton

[DunkyBhoy01]

This man is coming to Shetland in November! Nobody does that! Truely world class man! Kate Nash can suck my dick. 1) Its the only thing her mouth is good for. 2) This is her song, and he's doing it better. Miles better!

[lyceemagendie]

Il assure les premières parties de la tournée de Charlie Winston en France. J'adore ses balades pop-folk !

[007beefy]

pure talented this dude

[1bobbys1no1camp1com]

this is pure brilliance :) listened to this ten times in a row!

[sianlouiseeex]

i absolutely love both versions & can seriously not choose which one i prefer, their so different but both amazing (:

[gryffindor1982]

Excellent cover...!!!

[bensonrecon]

Love Newton's music whether it's covers or his own work. Supremely talented, a genuinely nice guy and naturally funny as those who have seen him live can agree. Might sound a bit out of left field as they play different instruments and styles but he is like a guitarist version of Jamie Cullum. Both huge talents, both funny and both British.

[esperance92]

J'adore

[TheSupremeArab]

THIS IS THE BEST COVER EVER!

[eatenbydinosaurs]

newton, marry me. you rock.

[avyhippie]

wow! he rocked oxygen 2010!!!!

[ZacSandy96]

The cool thing is I dont think he tried to take the glory of the original song like most covers, he just felt like playing a song and as soon as he touched it, it turned to gold :)

[starrbaby74]

@ZacSandy96 EVERYTHING Newton touches turns to gold. :)

[TheRachel666]

i like this waaaayyyyyyyyyyy better than kate nashs' version :D

[thil28]

lovely, just like all his other songs, especially his own songs... saying that, loved his cover of massive attack's teardrop, one man and a guitar, superb!!!

[nadiahkl]

oh lordddddd this is brilliant!

[xbethravenx]

one word- LEGEND : P & loving the posh voice at 0.29 hahaa

[mayfly127]

i've met him and played bongos for him. after breaking into a festival for free ^_^

[nathancroucher90]

He played in Newquay a few weeks ago and it was one of the most funs gigs I have ever seen. Such a brilliant guy.

[beastman93]

This guy is everything entertainment should be. Was at his gig in Dublin months ago and he's not only an amzing musician, but he's very funny and light-hearted. Wish more people were that laid back :(

By the way you guys should check out Xavier Rudd & John Butler trio if you haven't heard of them. No doubt you will like them if you like Newton

[darkweaversythnas]

@beastman93 bet you wernt expecting to see a pie chart at his gig lol?

[scuzzie123]

Wonderful ;)

[superflyingchicken]

Gay

[imran12045]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Why did you click on it then?

[DalischaCreations]

Freaking Lord so beutifull your voice. I love it legend Damm JAH Bless

[AshleighheartsHIM]

[sjwimmel]

"Yes, intelligent input, Darling, why don't you have another glass of wine." Genius!

The guitar playing is also originally, resonantly, percussively awesome as usual.

[LgBundy]

"My fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustacean, and i try to play with lego but i cant!"

[KinkyAndSpanky]
