[Inthecootch]

[bastian2515]

[bman8088]

103 assholes clicked the wrong button

[cracklepuffs]

[sleepyboyproduction]

ding..static..ding..static...d­ing.static...ding...static..di­ng

[findanewgoddd]

jesus christ, closed minded people are annyoing. its a cover, hence why its not exactly the same as the original. fucking ignorance.

[IWATCHVIDEOS5555]

when he says cop at the beginning it knocked me backwards in my seat

[cincytazz]

Not to bad bro!! :] Kind of off melody. but it was pretty good

[shannagorton]

u sound great! and ur handsome thats a plus!

[RussFaraci]

totally reminds me of that family guy clip where stewy complains about deush bag college guys playing guitar, he even sports the wool hat even though he is indoors lol. not bad though....thumbs up man!

[hippisarecool]

you ruined the whole song. its not supposed to be the sound of you and your brother in bed together.

[dekelpalm]

personally i think you have an amazing voice...but maybe next time you shouldn't choose a song with such a specific type of voice singing it because die-hard modest mouse fans kinda tear you apart unless you sound exactly spot-on

[naldinhotorresthe9th]

sounds a lot like the ben lee cover y'all should check it out its awsome! ;

[doorkicker10]

Sounds more like "The World at Large"

Also, grow a pair.

[revalution1965]

i dont know what all the bitching is about, i thought it was pretty awesome and unique, just cause it wasnt just like the original doesnt mean it sucks. It sounds 5 times better than just about every other person who tried to cover it, good job

[Rjmorg]

@revalution1965 SO you tried to cover it?

[winterguy1]

all i can hear is "bing" "bing" "bing".

[kentrob90]

i thought it was good

[SaNtOsLeOsTv]

eh alot of u need to be quiet people have perspective of music and how they sing it, this is a cover not the same thing!

[Flappywafflecakes]

Fucking Fail!

[bretfavresucksballs]

Do you know who sucks balls more than me, Brett Favre? You. I would like to kick you in the groin for singing like such an absolute vagina. Please refrain from ever sullying MM in a public venue again. Thank you. Bret

[jdpoe1]

dude that was sick, i like it in this style the guitar was nice really played this one well

[DeathishZomg]

I liked the change in beats and tempo, however I didnt like the singing. It was just terrible. Sorry

[whimsicalpeanuts]

go smoke about 3000 cigarettes

[snookydowork123]

Seriously guys, u all need to stop being such assholes. damn at least he had the balls to make a video of of it and put it on youtube i guarantee half of u idiots wouldnt ever post a video of urself playing guitar and singing. i know i wouldn't, and its actually not that bad, not my favorite cover but a pretty damn good one

[ltswampcrawler]

@snookydowork123 I completely agree. But seriously, there's NO excuse for the hat!



[TheJewishKoolAidMan]

Justin biebers newest single

[baitbreakk]

i think its amazing

[austinFLAUGH]

Good, clear playing. But I agree that you should not be trying so hard to make your voice "soothing."

[KingFishGuy]

go play some jonas brothers shit

[identified420]

way to make a good song sound like a douchey piece of crap, and u suck at guitar

[tdgunter21]

When you first started playing I was all like, "Wtf is he doing, dammit he's blowing it", but then I listened more and was all like...."This is a pretty nice variation of the song once you get used to the difference". Good job, it was nice.

[CLOUDGIRL40]

Pretttttty Good!(:

[patbrian13]

2 all the haters who think oh hes gay or anything else id like 2 see ur low

self-esteem ass preform this song and see what people think of u cause if your so

incontent with yourself you need 2 make fun of him u have a fucking problem.

[impflip]

@patbrian13 chiiiiiillllll maaaaaaan

[wuschelfine1]

soooo good !!

:)

[chinmaythakur]

oo god noooo..this seems so gay

[DrnkUPmeHEARTIESyoho]

You can play guitar, and you can sing thats true. But Float On is an upbeat song and while I appreciate song people taking those kinds of songs and putting a softer spin on them this song just doesn't fit the bill for that. I would love to hear you sing this acoustic, but like the original song, honestly that would be AMAZING to hear. Keep doing your thing though. :)

[redcarsarasota]

Nice smooth transition from fingerstyle to strumming and back again at the end. Good voice control too. Thanks for posting this.

[imthecooliestin]

you ruined modest mouse fool

[DrinkingRoses]

...... whatta douche.

[oLiViArOcKiNsOn122]

I love it its a really soft calm version.

[asilentshout]

@oLiViArOcKiNsOn122 such a contrast to Isaac Brock's harsh lispy voice huh

[Tomasch]

[juniwilliams]

[ImRightUrWrong69]

[sammerro]

[NicJamesT]

[Surge3k]

[keepitsimple123]

What has become of guys that they need to sing like pussy's when given an acoustic guitar.

Nice guitar playing though

[MiseEnGarde]

aaaahahhaahahaha

[icantstopdoingthis]

Eddie Vedder's still fighting the good fight

[6NoSurrender]

[sharonhart12345]

[tvisbad47]

great demonstration that great electric songs can be played acoustically.

[crazypianodude44]

I. Love. This!

[beatinghhheart]

[dvsrider82]

[BlackAye1]

holy shit funny comments xD!!!

[lemans73]

[nixstar]

great job man. it sounds really good!

[danileeiswack]

i like your version

[xoxeeyorexox]

i absolutely love it.

keep it up buddy

:)

freaking awesomee voice mate

[lbfw2001]

Arn't all acoustic covers supposed to be more "flowy" and softer than the original song?

Thus the basis of and ACOUSTIC COVER.

Quit hating.

Its a wonderful cover.

If people wanted something more "powerful" don't go to a soft acoustic cover.

Just saying.

[rigoisdown]

this isnt right

[AlabamaWhurley]

You have a wonderful voice :0)

[MoptopPortalfreak]

Nice job with the guitar but work on the hign notes on the song and asing a little faster.Still very nice job.

-Portalfreak

[SlyHachey]

just sounds like the Ben Lee version of this song.. nothing wrong with this! Good one Shawn!

[sammyslithers]

Dude....I think you got "Float On" Mixed up with "Daughters"...

[smellerby]

wow all the covers are wrong on this they need to play the rythem parts with cords

[vkeightyfive]

Those who like this ought to listen to the original, this guy has no power in his voice, since he hits none of the high notes. That compounds how his guitar work slowed this song to a crawl. I like some covers of this song, if those who do them actually try to hit some of the notes. This version was mediocre at best since he has no vocal range.

[TheChadSitze]

I agree with you on hitting some of the higher notes, however the whole idea of an acoustic cover is to slow it down and make it less powerful. All in all it was a very good cover, nothing great or amazing, but more than mediocre.

[kaizo99]

i really dont see whats so bad about this cover. its different, yeah, but still an awesome cover

[2zen4karma]

Wow....not surprised...but people are assholes on youtube.

Bad Karma....just saying.

[FilipinoSkaterRocker]

its good nice job :)

[4StringsSeth]

You ruined a perfectly good song...

[renoufarnold]

y did u turn this song into a whiny cheesy sappy song....

[brittneypolkie]

uhhh i liked the beenie but you need to pick a different type of song

[Madcas23]

Congratulations. You butchered my favorite song.

[Paper1Plane1Piolet]

pretty nice job man

[cbballa03]

umm, pretty good, the guitar is like guitar 2 of the song, not the main guitar, so it doesn't sound quite as good but good job singing man, i wish i could sing that good

[SpaceDolphinProducer]

Kudos, Great Job

[DemoniasH3]

Wow, 5 strs, that was amazing, awesome guitar tune and you sound great!

[iwantyoutofeedme]

i think this is great, and i am, truly, a rather HARSH critic...

ok, well, the more i hear of this cover, the more i LOVE it!

good on you, and do keep sharing your GIFT!

peace!

p.s. : OBAMA is good...

[GuitarHeroIIIGod]

wow u have a great voice man...i wish i could sing like dat...

[tehkaji]

Beautiful

[xXDarkArconXx]

Beautiful

[shadowviper0010]

Bootifull :D

[mustang5121]

dude this is pretty legit. Good Job

[beatlesarenumber1]

a little to slow but good

[blackice2]

I'd like to hear Jeff Mangum sing this...

That would be awesome.

[Drratburn]

Very well done, but I don't like the tempo myself.

[commonsense987]

dude, that's a really great cover. Would you mind sending me the tabs you used for this? Much appreciated.

[mabney12]

very gooooooooood doood

[babydontblush]

i really love how you put your own unique twist on this, amazing song, amazing cover. :)

[PooperMan311]

hey dude you hook me up with where you got these tabs?

[ThatOneGuyFromBefour]

loved it.

[ojafa]

that was great! love it!

wished that i could listen to it on my ipod.

[bababa1623]

not the same... rock song style, more classical, i like it. nice job

[rocknrollchildx]

i looooove modest mouse!

and when i heard the tempo i didnt think id like it...

but i love it!!

great job!!!

[jennybaby03]

fuck.me.

[alxpeters]

oh man nice vid and voice, u have potential my friend! 5 stars

[woabrittneymichele]

I LOVED THIS.

you made it so beautiful.

just great :]

[hacker1234]

Slowed down and passionate. Instant panty-dropper.

[PLASTICmoonFACEOFF]

definatly lovely! its a great slowed down version, i love it.

[leslieaw0088]

wow I'm surprised at the bad reviews of this cover...the point of a cover is to put your own spin on the song and thats exactly what he did. Great job, covers would be boring if everyone did them the same as the original

[mrbluetwister]

fuckin awsome dude

[Lonelywreckage6]

is the capo cus it suits for voice or because it sounds more modest mousey?

[MikeHancho01]

That was AWESOME ! I bet you do a killer kumbayah cover.

[tybull11]

How long did it take you to pick out that sweet outfit? It goes so well with the song, absolutely amazing. You should be filling stadiums or something.

[Thatoneguyidontknow]

That was real great dude

[buffduff18]

The great thing about Float On is how different and unique it is....and you just took that away. You have a great voice, but it's no different than the typical pop singer, unlike Modest Mouse.

[Darowolf]

this sucks...this defeats the whole part off modest mouse

[ltrusel]

wow, this is awesome. great job.

[alexyin21]

man u have an awesome vioce

[mallorys777]

<3<3<3I like it better than the original...NICE, you should do some original stuff, I can see, or rather, hear you on the radio or just getting it out there man!

[SkullyMan73]

thats the dumbest thing i ever heard in my life if your a modest mouse fan. He did a ok job but it was way to different from the original; it lacked a lot of substance that the original had.

[dudelzz]

i backed my car into a "cock"? lol jk, its always hard to paly and sing at the same time, that cover was a little slow but still better than about 99 percent of youtube

[beatlesalbum]

LoL... I would recommend some bongos for this arrangement to add some percussions to complete the song.

[planbera]

It's like Jason Mraz is doing Modest Mouse. Fucking corny.

[Dharry7109]

Get some homo!

[sparris]

check out our answer to this sweet cover. check my profile. modest mouse cover answer.

[RobotsCanNotRead]

love it! :)

[planetery]

Playing the chords that high on the neck makes it sound like "the World At Large", which, essentially, it is... :|

[ChameleonDude101]

hes good all u people how say he suck go suck a dick lets here u vid asshole keep playin gj

[aquascumtagious]

wonderful

[marioruiz15]

wow ur a homo

[FlyingWhales]

Not bad, quite alright actually.

[KelseyBrushett]

You`re really good.

[dragolath]

in a cover, the musician doesnt have to exactly duplicate what the original artist did. It's supposed to sound different... his own individual touch. I like it! but of course, mm is still better... but that doesnt mean this isnt good! its pretty pretty good!

[coheedmonstar33]

novak..you suck

[tmk14]

It's different from the original but really like it, goes well with the acoustic

[sparris]

jag hatar verkligen din jävla tolkning av den här låten. jag kan tänka mig att du smeker dig själv till den här låten, och det är fan inte OK. Tycker du ska sluta med det här. Spela inte musik för helvete.

[sparris]

detta är ju fan inte ens kul. förstör bra musik på det här sättet. du har ju uppenbarligen inte hajat nåt av känslan i låten från första början. sen sjunger du med din mjäkiga fula barnröst. det låter förjävligt rent ut sagt. jag kan tänka mig att du står framför spegeln och låtsas att du är nån jävla skön snubbe som tjejerna gillar.

[XxMCRMSIxX]

i liked it :) you rly seemed to get into it

[boon222222]

man people just can't imitate his voice, it's pathetic to see such a crappy immitation

[gadamadi]

i think he does a really good job, i prefer this one before the original.. :)

[Guitaristanova]

Covers aren't about imitating the original songs, ever thought about this?

[Novak254]

i hate when people try to have harmounious covers of modest mouse songs, isaac brocks voice is beerbattered and drug coated. I just don't think he should have sang
