[Boisits13]

Tune the guitar! But this is really good :P

[springhuhn]

[AysiaLouDavis]

he has a beautiful voice <3 =]

[rainbowlantern17]

Bad.

[dude43102]

amazing. great job.

[SuricataLoco94]

holy crap, 10/5 it's fuckin amazing and such voice...

[taylortechniicolor]

holy shit.

[convier87]

Wow, you have an amazing voice and you covered this song pretty damn good!:)

[joezach]

This song gets me into a trance

[joezach]

Its amazing how well ingrained Mangum's words get into our brains. So well detailed and complicated yet we find them flowing out of our mouths like water.

[Zanabism]

I totally thought this was going to be a piece of crap cover, like all of the others, but this was actually sooo good. Well done.

Jeff would be proud if he heard this.

[OnlyForAmomentAW]

great job!

[silentinmybody]

That didn't suck at all, it was awesome!

[draven901]

Badass cover, y'all. 

[wobosaw]

I think this is my favourite song from that album, and this is a great cover! good job guys . your bed looks comfy, what if it was spelled comphy?

[gazillionandone19]

@wobosaw Oh Comfely.

[caitlynnde]

*drunk on your awe to me* not artery. just sayin'.

[wobosaw]

@caitlynnde i always used to think it was automy and i was like what is automy 

[Fanchus]

Nice... :')

[listentotiesto]

Are those Doritos cool ranch?Yes i think they are....Eemmm

[bambi1120]

Check out my cover :) its ok...but not as good as this.

[DrunkenRussian17]

change the video info, this is really good you fools!

Make another cover, I ask of you :]

[emelybemely]

and the mario post it notes is super cool

[emelybemely]

I am completely amazed at how well this was played and sang. :)

[RdSoxFan618]

I think he sank into her soul, into that secret place that no one dares to go after this recording.

I totally love it, awesome job.

[flocklestoog]

There are so many mediocre Neutral Milk Hotel covers out and about, and so when I clicked on this, I fully expected it to suck. But alas, I was totally mistaken. This is excellent. How refreshing. Thanks.

[SelfAdmiringMirror]

i was expecting that to be just another cover video, but it was definitely much better than that.

teach me how to sing! lol

[billy0bLank]

Your cover of this song to put it simply, was amazing. It touched me just as deeply as the very first time i heard this song. I would love to hear you do April 8th.

[MrWoweeZowee]

Your better then me I totally blow at guitar, Hope I get better soon!!! It's my dream to be a musician...

[SkaPow138]

Great job you two

[shmeemonkey333]

LOVE IT. it had that same eerie-ness to it that the original did and I think that kept it engaged. Even though it was only vocals and guitar it didnt sound like it was lacking anything which is hard to do with a song that originally has so much going on. you have an AMAZING voice! You made the high notes seem effortless and I was fully impressed(:

[celticbear66]

HANDS DOWN the best cover of this on youtube! Dude, way to make the octave shift!

[radiotelemetry]

yeah, this is pretty magical

[thedistillers27]

You two are the best on youtube. I almost want to say I like your version than the original.

[emelybemely]

@thedistillers27 I thought the same thing when I heard this.

[thedistillers27]

Holy Crap that was awesome.

[RisqueWEDNESDAY]

I will tell you the same words I tell the others..Not one person is worthy of covering Neutral Milk Hotel...But you do have a great voice.

[kelslovesshelb]

Oh Comely is my absolute favorite song in the world. And this actually a very good version. I'm proud. :)

[accountfrozen]

My god he can sing

[rleeermy]

Impressive. This guy can sing.

[LoveMusicRum]

dude you can sing... make more music... k thx

[crappybassist96]

Girllll you should tune your guitar.

That said, this cover was really nice. I agree with whoever said it was better than the Brand New guy's version. My favorite non-Mangum effort for sure.

[Floydfan101]

i am so sad you guys never recorded the full song- this is amazing! (i first saw this like 2.5 years ago.. .wow)

[xeeniechan]

That was -AWESOME-.

[dankhax]

you guys are awesome

[707beastmode]

Really good cover. would sound great professionally recorded.

[allenmanbear]

dude you did a better job than the guy from brand new. you should look into a music career...

[alecdeschene]

Fuckin' Great Guys, You Definitely Don't Suck At All. Cheers! And I'm Not Even British! Haha!

[palmeiraguitar2010]

Oh My God!!! they the best covers of You Tube!!!

[masaica]

By far the best cover of this song, I heard it a few years ago and loved it and it's just as good as I remembered.

[nikiyadig]

this is wonderful.

[Clemyntine]

Nice Mario made out of post-it notes in the background.

[fffooot]

you did such a good job! the voice was very simmilar, as was the guitar, and the low sound quality added to the simmilarity.

[2442sheep]

they put 'we suck' in the info because they fear critasism like we all do good job guys i just picked this song up after ive been listening to it for a while

[bobadankfett]

this is better than the actual thing. ok maybe not but yea

[NoSignOfPain]

daaaaaaaaaaang.

right on.

[ZvenHoak]

wow

[WonTonJohnSon]

Holy christ, this is a fucking brilliant cover! One of the best I've ever seen. Great voice, great guitar, like listening to for the first time again!

[goo5o]

excellent cover

[jackiedamnit]

this is super good

[AllisonAlliAllison]

Dude... Please remove your info. This is beautiful. Great guitar. Great voice.

[Danno8705]

Awesome job guys :)

[Mielikki7777777]

oh, wow. very, very beautiful. i want more.

[TopDog69]

"we suck"

No you don't

[LelandSelene]

I defanately agree. I figured they would suck cause they said so...But no, this is good.

[Ode2Squash]

This was actually quite beautiful. I truly hope this guy is still singing and I'd be curious to hear some more stuff.

[thetimewarp3000]

amazing job.

and I love your wall, by the way.

[kaysimpsonian]

this is SO GOOD

you sound amazingly similar to him!! well done!

[mikalyn21]

Seriously good... well done.

[bradkerber]

So good

[tresSQUEAKY]

Wow, I loved this. Great job!

[polinadiomin]

me too, not bad at all

[al138]

i was fully prepared for this to suck, i was completely surprised. 5/5

[cedd00]

good. push even more.

[cedd00]

i dont mean this as a negative point. i mean it sounds like you could do it.

[placebo525]

i didn't think it was possible to cover jeff mangum's voice. you nailed it!

[MsWednesday13]

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeery good....veeeery good. i was blown away

[ThroughtheFence]

good shite

[bigspilv]

you absolutely do not suck. you did this song justice

[santmedir9]

at "moving your mouth to pull out all your miracles" the chord isn't C, is G!!! (2:13 and 3:56)

however, nice, very nice. this song is breathtaking.

[cconn1212]

i love the girl's hair! so straight and gorgeous!

[DARNOFARNO]

You capture Jeff's emotions......and mine

[superxmagical]

beautiful song. you sing it well. [:

try letting your words flow together a little bit more though, ok?

[Rush2112AW]

wow man. Beautiful vocal. I'm looking to learn this one myself. though i don't have a voice like that. >.> but i'll do my best.

[samexmistake]

oh wow, your voice is beautiful i just wish the vid wasn't out of sync! It was fantastic though.

[vegesaurus]

gosh i love your voice!! and that mario on the wall......is he made from...post-it notes?! that's pure genius!! you guys do not suck. tis great and you know it ;)

[ratboysgirl1013]

Great voice.

[CowToungue]

yeah deffo dont suck. nice song

[ohnoanotherputz]

I don't except much when I listen to covers on youtube (and yet I do it anyway for some reason) but I was surprised to find this rather good cover!

[apoeticms]

great job!

[marshallq27]

Nice.

[CowToungue]

do Holland, 1945

[shibbolethed]

great cover of challenging vocals. thanks for sharing!

[DarknessHowls]

You have a good voice!

[nancyheartssid]

i think it was great! the video seemed a bit off sync but that's all

amazing voice =]

[PwnStarr]

perfect

[Kym7714]

GREAT voice! I am so impressed. You sang it well without trying too hard to sound like Jeff - that's most people's mistake in covering him, IMO. Were you guys in college when you did this? Are you still? Because I would REALLY love to hear the whole thing. My favorite part is the bit toward the end: "Know who your enemies are . . ." I was so looking forward to hearing you guys do that part!

Anyway, great job! I'm jealous. I sing (pretty well, actually) but I can't touch this song!

[markiekc]

I think we had just graduated high school when we did this...which was about 3 years ago. I think we're going to do another song pretty soon. Two-headed boy part 2 maybe?

[boz0scaggs]

you're pretty good, probably the best cover I've heard. Some dude was busking this song in my neighborhood the other day, but he wouldn't even sing the weird bits.

[emobopeep]

He has the perfect voice to cover this song, really.

[yummymayo]

haha "we suck" good job, guys! i've been trying to play guitar for years... but i actually DO suck.

[yummymayo]

...and i couldn't help but notice you have a lot of "for dummies" books on your shelf ;)

[superbacon]

I'm pretty sure those are HTML and basic programming for dummies. I was a nerd.

I LOVE YOU LOCKE

[TheDigitalPigeon]

Good job guys, its really hard to mock Jeff Mangum's eerie vocal melodies, most people fail, unlike you two =)

[slatavijepus]

pretty awesome indeed.

[peopletalking]

Why would you say 'we suck', but post it anyway? Besides, really good for an untouchable song like Oh Comely.

[HAMTAROisdead]

damn his voice is amazing.

[baraka1408]

I'm not impressed. Sorry.

[burythehatchet72]

oh my that is an amazing cover of an amazing song

[Floydfan101]

please do the whole song!!!

[gorinator]

I would bet a fine sum of cash that these two made love for a good hour after this was recorded. That is unless they're brother and sister, in which case there is still a good chance. That was some of the best singing I've heard in a while, and for anyone who cares about this music, relatively orgasmic

[angxdkx1987]

to the boy- marry me. you have an amazing voice

[pablokimon]

yeah! the video and music is out of sync...:(

[trevmccunehsk]

this song does it for me everytime

[TheSatah]

Greaaat voice. Nice cover.

[maxheidenyahoocom]

a little fast but awesome

[helloiloveyou11]

dear god, that was fantastic. great duo. you should take a stab at some other neutral milk hotel covers.

[SheenZulaTheMicRula]

the guy hits the right note everytime but the tone of his voice irritates me =[

[huggypanda73]

Myspace please? :D

[lknlukann]

that was a-m-a-z-i-n-g

[lknlukann]

that was a-m-a-z-i-n-g

[milfweed23]

You guys are awesome! The fellow has a FLAWLESS voice...you have perfect pitch...keep singing!!!

[dharmajean]

Nice voice

[sweetallie22]

i think you are going a little too fast but you two rule anyway

[mancestheflute]

fucking sweet man, you shoulda finished it

[indefinicy]

You are damn fucking awesome, you don't suck in the least bit. You have a GREAT voice.

[mynamesnotbill]

That was surprisingly really good. Amazing voice pal. I think it's a hard song to imitate, and you did so exceptionally well.

[franciscotoast]

oh sounds kinda like the placebo guy at the start for a second

[Shurekien]

great voice!! it sounds exactly like Jeff Magnum.

[philamato]

mangum*

[Shurekien]

oh my god! I've known Neutral Milk Hotel for a year now and I always thought his last time was Magnum!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I feel so stupid now!

[philamato]

bahahah i made the same mistake for months until

i googled his name and it kept coming up misspelled.

[franciscotoast]

hate to admit it but same :P

[sweetallie22]

what, i just realized it now.

its liek

MAN

GUM!

wow. im never gona frgt it Now!

[omgitschristie]

this is great :)

[Anaisflo]

YOUR VOICE IS INCREDIBLE (and this is my favorite song)

[ellibabybean]

oh wow.

[Jewbread]

guitar is out of tune but awesome singing

[punnettsquaresrule]

amazing.

[tlambrec]

Magnificent!

And with a better pronounciation than the original ;) [not as good though, nothing beats the original]

Pitty NMH stopped making albums...

[ikerugi]

Not bad!

[theaddingmachine]

IGNORE THE COMMENT BELOW THIS ONE

[boycottfood]

Alright CLAY AIKEN

[SheenZulaTheMicRula]

=] =]

[racheloagibson]

wow ok is this fake lol

thats the original right?

[Floydfan101]

no, thats not the original

the sound is just out of sync because of youtube.

[deekin900]

obviously not a fan

[racheloagibson]

thats soo awesome, def dont get signed, just start playing man!Dont ever sell out,you can make good music and good money w/out sparing your true happiness.

out of sync, doesnt matter tho if this is ur real voice!

[theaddingmachine]

was not expecting this voice to come out. fantastic.

[lordstradbally]

Fantastic cover. Didn't waiver for a moment.

[Shurekien]

pretty good!

[Floydfan101]

you have a really good voice!

[princessjezzica]

oh my gosh. this is really really good.

His voice is amazing.

[Floydfan101]

you guys were reallyy really good!!!!!!!!

[ardruma]

Not in sync.

[Somone23]

surprisingly amazing.

better than what i can do.

[danielkills]

good job, kiddos.

[JadedMex]

wow. that was.. just amazing. very very very VERY good. one of the best i've seen.

[nrvfly4]

no they just have a shitty camera

[neutralmilkhotelfan]

yay! ima deff watch this one

[neutralmilkhotelfan]

ergg... it sounds/looks like you guys prerecorded this...

[gorramdoll]

yeah absolutely they're trying to trick youtube people into thinking they're better than they are by prerecording the song and then FAKING IT!

are you kidding?

[gorramdoll]

this is a really cool cover because you have a somewhat better-sounding voice than Jeff Mangum, but still sound a lot like him.

I was really hoping the girl would say "OH SHIT!" at the end.

[baraka1408]

You douche! NO ONE has a better sounding voice when covering Jeff Mangum stuff than Jeff Mangum. Not even my covers can match his beauty You should be beaten!

[gorramdoll]

well, he has a really ugly voice, you have to admit. It just grows on you after a while and you get attached to the stuff you might have originally found annoying, like the nasalness and his really heavy way of changing notes. But because the songs are so beautiful it's kind of nice to hear them done by someone with a typical pretty voice, because the beauty of the songs isn't something you have to discover over time.

[neutralmilkhotelfan]

the hell? he has a great voice... agree or GTFO

[gorramdoll]

no he doesn't. no need to get so defensive. I love his voice, but it's definitely not technically a good voice at all.

[neutralmilkhotelfan]

he is the most brilliant person ever

[gorramdoll]

I didn't say he wasn't. Seriously.

[neutralmilkhotelfan]

i didn't say you did say that

[gorramdoll]

oh, okay.

[LilRyan732]

The girl on guitar is absolutely gorgeous. Gotta admire a chick who knows how to play NMH!

[JGSturgeonmaster]

Nice job guys. Love the tribute to Mangum!!!

[lazyguy127]

best nmh cover up. you sound creepily close to how mr. mangum does.

[devoured1]

wow. nice.

[mikobot]

This was EPIC!

[fraulobsto]

also, the voice is incredible!

[fraulobsto]

this is a really commendable cover of the song. It's really ambitious of you to take on such a masterpiece, and you guys did a really good job with it :)

[lisaroselasaga]

yr krazy, u have a beautiful voice!

[novicanehurts]

Good voice!
