I think this is super good regardless of the sound quality.. I'm a friend of Dewahls and he talks alot about how you're a good musician.. Glad i can see it
Well idk I liked it sorta..u kinda sing like a uh hick..and well u said brum instead of brim..so this might make girls melt but I didn't feel it and u song 2 parts twice.and befor people start saying ur gay they should change there username to sumthin less gayy
Everytime i'm at work and the song Daddy's Gone by Glasvegas comes on i think of you singing this cover for some weird reason. hahaha. You should do a cover of it (:
ugh im tired of hearing people call others gay. seriously that just makes you a douche. but anyways i love this cover & no this song doesnt make you gay, it makes you very artistic & it sounds great. but get a better mic ^_^
no offence but the only thing i didnt like was the way you held onto the last letter of some words like "sleepyheaaaaaaaddd" but other then that i loved it :3
I agree that this is one of the best covers of this song. You have a great rawness in your voice and I think you make sleepyhead work on acoustic. Nice job
Whoever talked shit about this cover is an idiot. Do YOU have the courage to go on youtube and cover a song? nope. therefore you fail. and Alex WINS. Great Cover mann
i'm not a huge fan of the way you made it really happy go-lucky sounding, however it's not a bad cover. you totally made your own rendition of it and it's quite impressive. i enjoyed that your whistling is actually perfectly in key. good job bro :) btw the song is actually in Ab and not A like you're playing it.
eh- dont listen to all these (negative) people; you've got talent kid and the best thing you have going for you- is TIME.. keep at it and you could go as far as you want ;)
You need to get better means of recording audio. There are times that your singing/playing is too loud for your camera's mic. Overall not a bad cover. The whistling needs to be more controlled. Your voice sounds a lot like spoonboy, check him out.
you are ADORABLE and it pisses me off that people are leaving you such nasty remarks. you have a perfect voice for this song. i love this version. nice work
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why can no guitarists who have covered this song seem to get the first chord of the progression right? It is MINOR. I have no idea whether you think replacing it with a major chord sounds better or it is a genuine mistake, however, it most definitely doesn't work. It's funny how changing one thing like such TEARS away all the emotion and meaning from the song.
Hey, it's his interpretation of the song. If you don't like it, do your own. It's your opinion, but it doesn't really make sense to come on here and attack him for doing it "wrong", when, in fact, there's no "right" way to do a cover. Let the kid do his thing, and you do yours. Put up your own video, it's always great to see different perspectives on songs.
Def a good cover..little overpowering on the mic but hey, NBD. Ya did a good job. I only read some of the comments below and I'm sure there were some people that did the 10-year-old "he's gay" bullshit....don't give them a second thought...
I'm certainly not a homosexual, ahah, trust me on this one. (though I mean no disrespect to anyone that is) Thanks though, to everyone for the positive comments, they really mean a lot to me. I'll hopefully put up something new soon. (since it's been about 7 or 8 months, I think?) I just don't really know what yet. Thanks again for your input, and stay tuned! :o
how bout you judge him on his playing and singing instead of what sex you suspect him to be attracted to. Really like why bag on something as little as who someone is sexually attracted to.
you actually did a really food job. i'm a huge fan of passion pit, so i get kind of annoyed when people do poor jobs at their songs, but you did really well!
nice work guy
