Holland 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel

[cowykay]

awww, so cute XD

[evtikarina]

you suck



[joewashere193]

You are rather lovely

[fearthecoconut]

reminds me a bit of julia nunes

[BassBOY0GIRL]

One question-

Is that a slinky?

[UpperCrustthe3rd]

@BassBOY0GIRL look at the description, jackoff.

[BassBOY0GIRL]

@UpperCrustthe3rd Wow, I've never been called a jackoff, nor have I ever heard the term.

Anyways, there's no need to be rude. It's not like a made some horribley awful asumption that was caused from me reading the description. I just asked a question that could have been answered from the description.

So, I believe that you would be the "jackoff"

[UpperCrustthe3rd]

@BassBOY0GIRL I'm just giving you a hard time.

but really, read the description before.

[nightfield10]

fuken retadret.

[HorseThymeFresh]

Your voice is a bit awkward in this song, but I really like it. It seems akin to the ukulele, if that makes sense.

[hydemanful]

mmm need to work on your singing timing an voice but good instrament skills

[theforsakenpiggies]

great :3

[TheBrohammad]

The singing and the guitar bastardization was disgusting.

[sn3hul4k]

Clicked on the link by accident, now I am in love with you ! :))) Superb :)

[TeaMugCollective]

This is a good cover. I like how brave you were to put this up, 'cause for some reason I could see some diehard NMH fans getting upset (of course, anything other than a pure recreation gets some people mad). Also, props for the creative use of the slinky. It'd be cool if you keep putting covers up.

[frenchsaber]

The swastika guitar video is better...

[GnomesAmok]

If this werent so awkward and painfully bad, it might not be terrible

[pawbassist]

@GnomesAmok dude seriously? it gets off beat for like 2 seconds, other than that, this is amazing. so why dont you just leave.

[LeMightySabre]

You are beautiful and bring a smile to my face when you sing this song. Some boy must be very lucky :)

[Gopfs]

interesting!

[leon14320]

I came here expecting a terrible cover of an amazing song. I'm glad to say I that's not the case.

You're no Jeff Magnum, but kudos for a great job. :)

[mariannerrrd]

Hey, you know the book Will Grayson Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan? If there will ever be a movie of it, I WANT YOU TO PLAY JANE. SO BAD. YOU ARE THE FACE THAT WAS IN MY HEAD WHILE READING THE BOOK. Thank you.

I hope this was not too creepy. I didn't mean to be creepy.

[howdyheygoodneighbor]

@mariannerrrd A-tothefreakin-men! and DFTBA!

[katesarcasm17]

I love your face when you use the slinky. It makes me super happy.

[RisingOctopus]

This is so beautiful. You are awesome and this is one of my favorite videos on youtube.

[Kingdagmarius]

singing right in the camera is so fucking funny

[timcraft]

I love this =D

[burlymugg]

learn how to sing and wear makeup

[Turbojugend41493]

I've been contemplating on getting a ukulele. Anything like playing guitar? haha.

[johnmorisi8]

seems like jaaaaaa

[joepubic89]

Marry me?

[CocaineMountaineer]

haven't lost yet... moving on.

[Wwhackk]

you fall in love you lose; hipster edition

[MrShadyau]

Very nice, I'm quite impressed.

It makes me want to learn the Ukulele. I think I'll skip on learning the slink though, seems as if it would be quite difficult.

[beleam]

@MrShadyau You can't even imagine the slink-induced forearm cramps.

[nimr0dSLO]

@beleam may i ask you how old are you? :)

[beleam]

@nimr0dSLO

Twelve.

Just kidding. 21. 19 in this video.

[TreyMMA]

@beleam I wish I knew girls who listened to Neutral Milk Hotel, this world would be a better place with more of you, you take the fail and out fefail...I mean female xP

[joreentjuh]

GOEIE DING CHIMCHIMII!!

[neiladri]

This is weird but awesome. But, weird. But, really, awesome!

[RisingOctopus]

This is the most beautiful thing on YouTube.

[GrlWitRosesInHerEyes]

I love this song! You're awesome!!!! beautiful voice and cover!!! :)

[xxXer0xxxOWNED]

niice (:

[tropelow]

You can't sing for shit, but I still want you to marry me.

[TheLatterRainAndSun]

Excuse me ma'am, but i think i love you :D

[Weyyyyyy99]

as hipster as it gets

[bamlaflamme]

I can't make a handjob joke because the motion wouldn't work. It just looks like you're repetitively smashing it! No stars!

Nah, I gave this video a thumbs up. Don't worry. The slinky effect is gold.

[MurkusGobert]

This makes me happy purely because of the slinky :P

[swifty09]

Anne Frank

[Robbyd91]

That was cool- well done :)

[timhaas1]

Nice. :o) Beautiful interpretation.

[fxhasthemovies]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[fxhasthemovies]

Next time, turn up the heat in your room so that you don't have to have a coat and hat on. It's probably easier to play with warm fingers too.

[SilentEcho33]

you're like a way cooler julia nunes

[beleam]

@SilentEcho33 I don't think that's possible.

But thanks!

[SilentEcho33]

@beleam hahaha julia nunes is cool and all, but she doesn't cover NMH

[rockshow1806]

@beleam I hate to agree but no one can be cooler than Julia Nunes (she's from my hometown... I'm bias :P ) But you're totally close. This was great.

[RandoMonkeyz]

Nice voice. I like how you pay attention to details, like going "up" and "down" just at the right time. Like!

[Lastscionz]

fuck.

[beleam]

@Lastscionz Yes.

[SuperCoberst]

We should do it.

[beleam]

@SuperCoberst Totally.

[craftygangsta]

this is awesome.

[whatabeautifulscene]

Nice use of a slinky as an instrument. :D

I love this.

Adorable. =D

[johnboton0]

how long did it take u?

[TheMarbleIndex3000]

this is nice.

[sonpierce]

:)!

[Mintsmak]

i think i just fell in love with you. i shit you not.

[beleam]

@Mintsmak I think I just fell in love with the phrase "i shit you not"

[bringinSXEback]

I had a smile on my face that whole time. And the the slinky shots would come in, and I couldn't stop my self from crying from the cuteness overload.

[chicostick12]

i <3 girls who cover nmh

[candiclaus]

What model of uke do you play on?

[beleam]

@candiclaus A Kala Curly Mango Concert Uke. It gets a lot of "Oooo, pretty" from people, if that's what you're going for.

[tylerprime1]

Really interesting. I like how it was shot in 3 seperate parts. Best edited NMH cover I've ever seen.

[jonnyheadphones]

best cover of this song on youtube, by far.

[CampHoldout]

how come we didn't date in high school? the hell is wrong with with the universe.

[beleam]

@CampHoldout Probably because I was like 10 when you were in high school.

[wondergirlcassie]

Omg she's so cute!!

[njaimmusic]

I loved that you used a slinky.

[bastlake]

Wonderful filmmaking all around!

And I'll take a Slinky over one of those egg-shaker things any day

[TheFroman421]

I Loved this. It makes me so happy. You made my day. :) Thank you.

[MatIasWolff]

good job. nasty nmh's omen

[Accelerator11]

Its shit.

Shit, right?

[SlaughterTheFrail]

This was awful..

[TheOuroborosWyrm]

Badass!

[cowboyardee]

I like your hat. Seems very Mangum-y.

[snowpoon]

very nice. awesome song, good cover. love the slinky.

[foottraffic20]

I don't mind that she copied julia nunes. I would have preferred her to just perform the song without using nunes style though. After checking out her other videos I came to the conclusion that she cannot sing and play at the same time though. I hope she proves me wrong. Ukelele is a good instrument to cover many NMH songs from that album... If she did a cover of two headed boy, in the aeroplane, or king of carrot flowers I would have to come back and see.

[Nprorwicz]

you copied julia nunes

[beleam]

@Nprorwicz Dammit, Postmodernism.

[crappybassist96]

Haha that was great!

[ShzaMack]

this is great. I love the slinky.

[yeslauren]

Anyone else reminded of Julia Nunes while watching this?

Anyways, good cover. I enjoyed it :)

[slaggathorn]

Yes, yes, yes. It was like the 2nd minute when I realized it wasn't. :P

[HeroOfFish]

@yeslauren As soon as I started this up, I was instantly reminded of Julia Nunes, for sure. :P

[father4eyes]

This is so creative and completely awesome!

[TheMarbleIndex3000]

you're pretty and sing nice.

I like you. Lots

[iwillcommitdeicide]

pretty sick :D

[TheComedytragedy]

i am in love with you.

[adamkubiw]

you fuckin rule ! dont stop what you do

[AnneAulisRobin]

I like thi version very nice xD

[Jamieeelovesyouu]

Cute =)

[strongassstuntman]

fantastic, I love these NMH videos of people doing these songs and understanding it doesnt have to sound like american idol bs...

[danscullo]

Do you sing "hack off" instead of "pick up"? Great version BTW.

[wexpayne]

@danscullo PACK up.

[beleam]

@danscullo I finally figured out what you meant by this. I sang "pack up". Is it "pick up"? I listened to the original and it could be either. Maybe even both at the same time.

[CORPULENCEISKING]

You should make an MP3 of this because I'd probably listen to this more than the original. Your We Are Scientists cover is pretty great too, you should try some Bright Eyes or Animal Collective!

[ortholamew]

Hmm. Your version lacks the feeling of the original. It just sounds like. . . a teenager hacking through the song.

[beleam]

Oh. Was it the slinky? I don't think the original has a slinky in it.

[NoStarsMusic]

Don't be ridiculous. The slinky is a unifying theme throughout the whole album.

[ortholamew]

Nah it wasn't the slinky. And I really should wait a few minutes before I post because that was a mean comment I left.

Out of the thousands of albums I've listened to, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is my favorite of all time. It's like the Gospel of music. And your version is like a Latter Day Saints commercial. . .

[Vaynor]

Sounds like a teenager? No shit. This was good, keep up the good work.

[bigmac364]

I feel as if i have just been wooed.

[honaluluhunk]

This cover is fantastic! im stoked on the slinky! Definatly should cut a recording of this!!!!!

[tr0nk]

ahh a slinky

adorable

[moons47]

my favorite cover on youtube so far. kudos for doing justice to a song rather than mocking or destroying it. i'd give you a high five if i could

[jfinan3]

This is absolutely fantastic. Excellent job.

[sh1mz0r]

oh god, you're fuckling adorable

[greatflyingfetus]

my sentiments exactly.

[mowshowitz]

BONERRRRRR

[hashiepashi]

OHMAHGAWD!

Okay when you're rocking out at around 2:19 that was when I went, THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVAR!

basically, this is an awesome original cover, and I really like it!

But I will say, that's it's a completely different song, at least from my perspective, like the NMH version gives me images of beautiful, horrible chaos and the destruction that came with WWII mixed with Jeff's love trying to find its way through the noise.

Yours, makes me happy, haha.

Oh, and you being cute helps too!

[heyutang]

really nice!

[Caribou4]

Haha nice job. That was the most original cover i've ever seen on youtube. NMH is the best

[RJDorado]

Great cover of a beautiful song. Great job!

[Schizima]

Nevermind I'm not in love anymore

[charliebucketmusic]

Beautiful. Not a bad cover too.

Seriously though, loved every minute. Awesome job.

[dropkickmurphys49]

How creative! This video makes me feel happy when i watch it! Thanks for putting it out there for the world to enjoy.

[beleam]

Thanks thanks thanks!

[texistheword]

best cover of holland 1945 I've ever heard/seen

[Kyuditsky]

This is precious. :]

I love the first slinky shot in the beginning.

[laaahwren]

hahaha you are adorable.

[jd201soccer]

i seriously loved this video. check my cover of in the aeroplane over the sea if you have the chance. its not as good as this but its alright.

[youthofathens]

You're my new favorite person, Ever.

[drunkendestruction]

This is really awesome you have great taste in music and a genius vision of what a youtube video should be. Seriously the whole idea behind this video is one of the most original things I've ever seen! Totally agree with the comment that says this needs more views.

[beleam]

Wow, thanks! You get an A+ for leaving such a nice comment =)

[m1ssychr1ssy09]

Cute!! I love the creative "instuments" that you use. Hehe. I like the "Nunes" feel about your video.

You just gots a new subscriber!;)

[beleam]

Hooray! Thanks!

[giobot]

[beleam]
