@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?
you make me love bands that i didn't think i liked. or that i was always interested in but never got that nudge to get into it. . . and now i've discovered such great music just based on listening to your covers. you're brilliant, dave!
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...
Your songs are always amazing - It's like... whenever I'm watching someone cover a song on youtube you can totally tell that they are covering it, But you like own it and it seems like... dunno... awesome?
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 :)
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.
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
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...
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.
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. I find this song so difficult to play guitar and sing at the same time

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.
