No surprises - Radiohead (Cover)

[GreenToasty8D]

Thank you.

[GreenToasty8D]

This made me cry. You remind me of my father. I got the image of him singing this song to me. After years of cutting myself, and attempted suicides, I feel like I just needed this one break. Something to get all the pain out. My dad has always ignored my pleas, and told me that there's nothing wrong with me, when I've shown him what I've done to myself. Just the simple thought of something like this, such as my father singing "No Surprises" to me, completely broke me down into nothing but tears.

[neineiji]

you are very cute at 0:30, nice smile and nice voice.

[jettisoncargo]

Awsome cover. I was waiting to see what you did during the "I'm drowning" bit, and what you did reminded me of my late father, and gave me a smile, so thank you.

[B3a7inU]

Very good i think. A slightly different accent, it adds something. Keep up the great work man.

[mitsukimomo]

Great cover! It gives the original great justice :)

Radiohead is one of my favourite bands. It is very difficult to beat their original recordings. You did a great job!

I have watched your videos, and I think that you have an amazing voice for a man. You sing at a great rhythm and it is awesome how you keep the tempo so good!

Hope your daughter and family are all well [:

~Malarie

[jeffstunes]

@mitsukimomo

Thank you Malarie. I find singing one of the most enjoyable things to do, and I hope that comes across :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[stevewatsonsings]

this is my fav radiohead song and you did it total justice.

your style is great

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Steve. It's one of my favourites too. Beaten only by "Creep" I think :)

It's simple, yet powerful :)

[yararu]

HAHAHAHA i like your voice. Don't know who exactly it is that i feel i must compare it to (perhaps bowie as previously mentioned). A good cover anyways, man. Keep on with that. You have a REALLY cool voice and it's rare to find one like that these days.

[kevinlilian]

good =)

[Mithorp]

we feel your pain brother

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[namhnit]

Dude, this sounds like David Bowie is singing this cover.

[jeffstunes]

Really?

I didn't even consider that. Although when I listen to my own voice, I only ever hear me :)

I suppose we all do that with our own voices :)

[Bitta32]

@namhnit

I agree!

[WarmongerT101]

Not bad man

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

[speeed0]

How did you get Thom Yorkes voice out of the original track?? Do you use a program or did you find an instrumental version? 

Or did you play all the instruments yourself ahha?

I'd like to try to cover this song, i think its within my vocal range.

[jeffstunes]

I played it from one of my karaoke discs :)

[Samtrio]

man this is really good, please do 'in the water i am beautiful' by city and colour

[crabbtrio]

This mans a genius, that song is perfect,

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :)

Is it just coincidence that you both have trio at the end of your YT name, or do you two know each other?

Just guessing ;)

[crabbtrio]

Oh no, just pure coincidence my friend.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

I'd love to do more requests, but I've got over 200 already, plus I'm also planning to put up some more of my own songs. Ones that didn't make it on to my album :)

[barmer479]

very good

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Billy. I thought I'd go all arty and minimalist for this one :)

[jimmylibertine]

Wow, your facial expressions really hold deep meaning!!, and the singing and song fits perfectly. great cover!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. It's difficult to think of ideas for all the videos. This one was quite simple, but hopefully effective :)

[fuckoffndie]

Do you think you could do some verve ( the drugs dont work) I think you would sound great as it would seem to fit your stile. Thanks for the wonderfull sounds.

[jeffstunes]

I love that song, and have already done it on Youtube. It was one of my earlier videos, and the sound quality is not that good. I've actually sung that one on a T.V. show. Lol :)

[Samtrio]

i agree that soung would be really good too, ill try and find it

[jeffstunes]

If you click on my name, it will take you to my channel. At the bottom of the videos section there is a link that says see all, and it's on the fourth page :)

[ryzk93]

wow you suprised me i thought u were gonig to be like a loser and make a joke or something...that was inspireing, i want you to send me a message in how to sing cause ur videos on that dont really describe it well enough thanks, just tell me how you sing cause its just...amazing

[jeffstunes]

Thank you. Any singing that i manage to do is through regular practice. I sing every day and enjoy it. Like I said in the tips videos. It's all about persistence. It's very easy to give up and think you are getting nowhere. It can take time. I've been singing for many years now :)

[legendsdc]

Any chance you could do Tools "Stinkfist" or Marilyn Mansons "Dope Show"

[jeffstunes]

I can't really see myself performing material from either of those artists, though it may surprise you to know that I do know a lot of that music. I have a few friends who are really into it :)

[forever57]

Just great Jeff

Your rendition is so intense

Love this song by Radiohead, and all their

songs. They were in Italy for 2 concerts, recently. Too bad, the concerts were sold out

already on March.So I couln't see them. Hope they come in Italy again

Surely one of the greatest band.

Nice to know you are releasing your 1st album,

even though just digitally.

I can't wait to listen to it.

love Giovanna @-->----

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Giovanna.

A friend of mine play bass in a band that regulary plays venues in Italy. "The ~David Cross band".

[MoonlightHorses]

*****

Glad you posted this EXCELLENT tune! Best band ever! So you're gonna put out a CD...

Any Pink Floyd?

Gotta check out all your vids!

[jeffstunes]

I will be putting put out an album of my original songs in the near future. Though it will be digital release only to start with.

I haven't done any Pink floyd on here yet, but "wish you were here" is on my list :)

Thank you :)

[julbez]

do you do any Bowie?

[jeffstunes]

No, I haven't done any Bowie songs on here. Many others, but no Bowie :)

[julbez]

wow!thank you

[barmer479]

10 stars sir jeff

[Josh350]

This was my favorite song in 2007. I listened to it on myspace and couldn't stop listening to it. Thanks Jeff! How've you been?

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Josh. Well, I'm rushed off my feet at the moment. I'm working on trying to get my album out by August, and there's so much other stuff to do outside the music.

If I remember correctly, you were one of the people that asked for this song :)

[mrbaird]

Awesome!

Marilyn

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Marilyn. This is one I've always wanted to do :)

[dabiribd]

Hi Jeff,

Awesome as always

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Ben :)

[crnawiks]

i love love your voice jeff and this is my favorite song :)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

It is a great song, from a great band :)

[UpDownMostly]

Great video and great song.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Tim :)

It's a song I've always liked :)

[private2U]

Jeff, which of your original songs is your favorite?

[jeffstunes]

It's always my latest one. Lol :)

I've got some new tracks which will be on my album and one of those is currently my favourite. It's called "Soaked to the bone". Though 4 of the tracks from Youtube will be on the album too.

If I had to choose one from the songs on Youtube, it would probably be "Sight Or Sound", though that's likely to change :)

[private2U]

ahh ok, will go and listen to it now!

[jeffstunes]

I wondered if you might pick up on that. Your previous comment gave me an idea, and here is the result :)

Thank you :)

[brutalchicken]

One of my favourite Radiohead songs ever, well done Jeff! Good to hear you're recording, gotta let us know when it's out.

[jeffstunes]

One of mine too :)

I will be doing updates as i go. I've got a number of blogs that I'm running, but I'll be posting some bulletins on here and maybe some vids about it amongst the warbling. Lol :)

[LittleMickyFingers2]

You continue to delight us all with videos of exceptional quality. I just love the tone of your voice and the production is superb! 5*

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Micky :)

Perhaps my expressive tones and your expressive fingers will feature together on a track in the future :)

[LittleHeartless]

Hi jeff,I like the new song,You really looked happy singing "No surprises". One day I will be singing a bit like you,I am practicing and I will be taking lessons from you when you visit. How is "Heartless"?

Love you lots! see you soon I hope. LittleHeartless xxx

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

You know you don't have to practice much in a day. 15 minutes to an hour at most. What is important though, is that you do it every day. :)

[BirchCourt]

This is great Another one for the favourites. Very well done! 5*

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

The Original is certainly one of my favourites :)

[Unkn0wn500]

So beautiful man :o. I love all your songs, you're the best.

5 STARS and loads of respect.

Thanks for sharing this vid with me Jeff.

[jeffstunes]

I'm glad you liked it :)

It seems just a simple song, but it was one of those challenges that I wanted to tackle, because it centres so much on the vocal, and emotional expression :)

[dhaffner101]

U are da man Jeff! I will be looking forward to UR CD!

[jeffstunes]

Thanks Dave. I'm looking forward to releasing it. I've already picked a Promo track, and I'll be creating a video for it with the help of some experts :)

[lil059]

love this song.. You have really capture the feel of it.. 5*

[jeffstunes]

It's one of those songs where the voice is naked, and the emotions are the clothes :)

It's such an enjoyable song to convey.

Thank you :)

[Riverman1971]

I really like the way you've sung this. It sounds effortless and fits the song nicely. Great work 5*

[jeffstunes]

It's a real chill out song to sing :)

I enjoyed doing it.

Thank you Barbara :)

It's pretty soothing to sing as well. Well it was for me :)

[suuzzee5]

Very lovely song, Jeff, and I also like what you did with the video portion. The simplicity of the visuals matches the song so well. Always a pleasure, my friend...

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Suze.

This video was probably one of the easier ones to make. No surprises, as the title of the song suggests :)

[chickiesgrettagirl]

Well Done Jeff; excelent song and amazing job! I am sure that your first album will be great; best of luck to you!

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

I'm not expecting anything major. It will be good to finally get an album out. It'll be promoted in a small way.

[libreg]

Wow, that was an amazing cover to a song i love. good job.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :)

It is a wonderful song to sing. From one of the bands I admire for songwriting :)

[Dianasme]

Excellent song !!! I missed seeing you, I enjoy your videos

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Diane.

I discovered that my video share thing wasn't working properly, and that my videos were only going out to under half of those on my friend list. I had to do this one manually to make sure it did :)

[uncledave10]

WOW :o)tm *****

[yeuxlumineuxNtx]

Good to see you and well done! Ahhhhhh your voice is just so soothing...I'll definitely be back to watch this again ;)

[jeffstunes]

Thank you :)

It is quite a soothing song. It gets my mind wandering.

I'm glad you liked it :)

[cindyjo57]

nice very nice Jeff as always.

[jeffstunes]

Thank you Cindy :)

I do enjoy a bit of Radiohead :)

[phwoestm]

Jeff,

Very Creative ! I always enjoy hearing from you. I wish you could see My expression when I open E-Mail and see 'Jefftunes has sent you a You-Tube' It's like a birthday present.:)

Phil

USA

[jeffstunes]

Lol :)

Thank you Phil.

I love this song, because it is simple, yet complicated. I'm glad you enjoy my vids. I certainly enjoy making them :)

[LJABC]

Well, I was just about to wend my weary way and just thought I'd see how things are going. Seems slower than usual but then again, everything seems slow tonight. I'll tell "LittleHeartless" about it in the morning.

[TheSwansNest]

We got the message and needless to say, it was well worth logging on. We'll check it out again tomorrow, with the rest of the nest.

Superb!!!*****

[jeffstunes]

Thank you very much :)

I'm glad you liked it. It is a wonderful song to sing, and it seemed pretty easy to do :)

[MyLeitmotif]

This is a great cover. Don't know how you get the time with so much going on but you did a great job 5*:)

[jeffstunes]

This one didn't take that long to do.

Thank you :)

[LJABC]

Sorry about the short message at first Jeff, but I was trying to get the first comment and thought that if I printed something longer, someone, like the lovely "gersing" would get in before me. Anyway, you know this is one of my favourites and I love the simplicity of the video. Please don't dress up, as was suggested by one of your kind fans. I prefer the natural approach. Top rated and saved!

x

[jeffstunes]

You managed to scrape in there, just before him :)

I've always been one for subtleties. I can't see any panto style videos on the horizon.

[gersing]

nice song. half shadow on your face looks great.

[jeffstunes]

I think it needed to be quite simple because of the name of the song. Lol :)

Thank you.
