  • Brilliant. I find this song so difficult to play guitar and sing at the same time

  • Comment removed

  • love the guitar parts

  • Very good man, but not liking how you've westernized it, just keep the american slurring.

  • @threshers1234 Not sure what you mean by westernised? They're Canadian - just as Western as me...

    The reason I don't sing in an American accent is because I'm not American.

  • @MusicFromBlueSkies Actually, while Arcade Fire is based out of Canada, Win Butler is an American and was raised in Texas.

  • @MusicFromBlueSkies Actually the singer Win Butler is American...grew up in Houston, Texas.

  • @benjamintallmadge @ahoybobby yeah but the band is based in Montreal. And the point remains the same whether Canadian or American... How can you 'westernise' something from the North American continent?

  • What's your tuning dude? Rightious. One of the best covers I've seen here.

  • You have so much musical energy and a great away of expressing it! I expect to see you famous in the next few years! Keep it up!

    this one really shows off ur voice

  • I hadn't heard the original when I heard this. Now I have, I still prefer yours.

  • What I love about the original is how much strength all those instruments bring to the song... turns out it's pretty damn great with only a guitar too! It feels different, but it doesn't feel like anything is missing either...

    Crazily well done, Dave!

    -Mandy

  • UHmazing :)

    XO Bec.

  • This is one sexy cover.

    Haha. (: But seriously, you're mad talented.

  • ..im still awake... officialjasonmraz... nuff said

    xD

    erm.. 'nice vid!' that should do it.

  • ah, don't tell me that!

    Should be going to bed.

    Am going to officialjasonmraz.

  • as always, a joy to hear :)

  • When I saw the title of this video the first thing that came into my head was "FUCK YEAH". Arcade Fire is freaking amazing and so is this cover.

  • =D

    I added you on thingy but I'm going to bed!

  • First time I heard that song & it was fantastic. You have quite a voice/image there.

  • I've never heard of Arcade Fire before. You're awesome :)

    I think you have amazing music taste.

  • Cool song, I searched through for a hater comment to 'your mum' but there wasn't any!

  • haha, give it a few days!

  • the sound quality on this video is really good. it reminds me of the music from "Into the Wild" (which is a good thing) it also sort of sounds like summer :)

  • Jeanie has raped this comment box.

  • ;) I love when people use rape as a verb.

    Not sure why. But it's awesome.

  • oh, haha. not to say rape isn't a verb, but it was used out of its typical meaning

    i'm just being silly and tired today

  • That doesn't look like an electric guitar but it has a plug in the back... what's it for?

  • Wonderful where do i sign?

  • Alright, seeing as there's no hater comments to use a Your Mum joke on, I'll try.

    This video was slightly less awesome than the simultaneous power of a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick, Mr. T pitying all the fools, and Vin Diesel just living combined.

  • great song, great cover thx Dave!!

  • fantastic :)

  • ive never herd this song before but i love it!!!! ur amazing =]

  • i have to say you are my favorite music artist on youtube ^-^

  • Nice one Dave, loved it! :P

  • Wow ! (as usual)

  • That was amazing! You are amazing! All in all, it was AMAZING!!!!

    <3

  • mmm Canadian Indie Music.. :)

  • FTW

  • Free The Whales?

  • Hmmmm, I was looking for hate-comments to use "your momma" jokes on.

    Too bad there weren't any.

    Nice job! I love your tags. They're hilarious.

  • 5 stars to the best on YouTube. Wow!!!

  • the description is amazing...

  • You never disappoint me<3.

  • I stumbled across a gem. Wow.

  • Brilliant as always =]

  • Do you decide what songs you cover by what i like, because it seems lyk it.

    Your realy talented well done!!

  • Yay!! This is my second favourite arcade fire song!! And they're one of my favourite bands everrr. Excellent job mate.

    You seem to like all the same music as me, this is rather a good thing!!

  • Woo! Does beg the question, what's #1?

    I'd probs say Rebellion. Or tunnels. Or Intervention. Or wake up. I should stop. I always suck at choosing!

  • At times like this I like to impress people with my underground music knowledge and throw in a b-side... but no, its power out! But thats only because of the memories attached to it... not because I've only heard the singles! Don't judge me =)

  • It's Friday afternoon at 5:13 pm, and here I am watching and listening to Dave ... and right at this moment I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing ... <3

  • Why am I the only person who clipstar doesn't work for?

    *goes to the corner to sulk*

    :(

  • aww I'm sorry jaz! they did just do maintenance or something, so maybe it'll work... later!

  • Another one of my favorite songs (and bands) you're just simply flipping talented...but you know that =) NICE JOB BLUE SKIES! Now, when are you going to blow up and be forced to tour to the states so we can see you live? ahh...

  • really good

  • i love it. you have an amazing voice.

  • Dave your amazing, but at least your not crazy! :P You have true guitar talent and if I was a professional I would say, "Your a guitar hero!"

  • dude. arcade fire ftw.

  • like totally.

  • amazing!!!!!

  • You know what the problem is? All of your videos are as awesome as they could possibly be, and I want to leave comments on them, but I kinda feel dumb just saying, "Oh, that was awesome!" But I never know what else to say. But maybe it's your fault for being too awesome. Yeah, that's what I'm going to go with.

    Damn you, Dave! Damn you!

  • Great cover as always dave ! :)

  • Such a nice song.

  • I hope you get signed to a major label and finally get the global recognition you deserve. At least most of me wants that. You're totally awesome and when you finally get the big recording contract, you won't have time for YouTube and I'll miss you, so I guess I (we) will just have to enjoy you now while we can. Oh well, maybe I can go to one of your concerts when you go on tour.

  • brilliant again dave

  • In love with the sound of your voice ^^

  • yay songs!, it's 3:53pm

  • why don't you have a record out yet??!
