How to save a life - The Fray (Cover)

[MusicSavesMySoul2000]

i just have to say... this is the best cover of this song i have seen so far!

[Dounya90]

Nice performance !

[shinryuken0]

I want to make videos like this. But the audio always comes out with my voice being too loud for the music, or the music being too loud for my voice. Do you have any tips on how to get the music and my voice synced properly?

[xkilagramx]

Amazing cover, The drums killed it for me sorry .. just being honest.. there to mechanical sounding

If you kept it just more simple it'd be perfect

[pinkmanGB]

im so excited i am getting my acuositc for chrismas ive always loved to sing now i can play and sing =)

[RedStrawberriez]

NEAT!

[assassinkillerkruz]

pa cute2 manong ah. hahahahahahhahahaaa 

[MrKAPfilms]

Very unique voice. Started out almost sounding like Bob Geldof (The Boomtown Rats), then had a hint of country, but it all worked out very well. Great singing Mr. Jeff.

[LDGP310]

His face didn't scare me... What a beatiful voice!

[SanneChannel]

I loooooooost a friend <3

[memeyt2]

i like your moves bro!

[ireaallylikethisname]

0:36 scared the shit out of me!

[jeffstunes]

@ireaallylikethisname

Lol. I will try to avoid looking so manic in the future :)

[ireaallylikethisname]

@jeffstunes its okay, i think its the transition aswell. The way it kinda tears the page away and then the manic face! haha

good cover by the way! Nice to see something good come out of England after this past week

[EpicSoundNY]

@ireaallylikethisname LMFAO!

[xDannyRyanx]

hes gay him :L

[CharlotteDovey1994]

this is such a great version i actuallly love it ! <3

[jeffstunes]

@CharlotteDovey1994

Thank you :)

[Eltox]

ive been watching your tutorials on how to sing, and there helping me a little. your really good singer =]

[jeffstunes]

@Eltox

Thank you. I hope they prove useful :)

[jeffstunes]

@jo19siah93

I just love to sing. I don't make anything out of it. I've even written and produced a lot of my own music. None of it has done that well. The world of music is all about promotion and I'm not really in that league. It's a good job I love it eh? :)

[justcallmeSven]

Oh wow. o.o

I'd better get practicing.

[jeffstunes]

@justcallmeSven

Lol. Thank you :)

[TheeAssViolator]

Your bloody great great

[jeffstunes]

@TheeAssViolator

Thank you :)

[frannygorawr1337]

Woahhh you are really good!! And love the accent :D I wish I could sing as well as you do!!

[jeffstunes]

@frannygorawr1337

Thank you :)

[Andreux89]

You can win a talent show!

[jeffstunes]

@Andreux89

I once won a Karaoke competition. Lol :)

[CandySotis]

I did'nt expect that :o

Love your accent!

[jeffstunes]

@CandySotis

Thank you. To surprise someone pleasantly is always a good thing.

[Guri9898]

Love that song. Love your voice. Love your accent.

[jeffstunes]

@Guri9898

Thank you :)

[emmiep7]

0:36... stalker face... i love it!:D

[jeffstunes]

@emmiep7

I've just finished a major website project so I'm at a loose end now. I wasn't thinking about stalking but what the hell eh> Lol.

[nubs6657]

GREAT!...i cant sing at all but wish i could

[jeffstunes]

@nubs6657

Thank you :)

I like to think that if you can learn to speak, then you can learn to sing, because they are very much the same. Only the pitches of the words are different :)

[jeffstunes]

@theMixBandit

Thank you. The mic is an AKG C1000s. It's not ideal for vocals, but it still produces good results :)

[Nenzocovers2]

goshgolly i got chills. reminds me of Phil Collins for some reason

[jeffstunes]

@Nenzocovers2

Thank you. That's not the first time my voice has been compared to Phil :)

[CyberDream101]

Your so talented. I wish I knew someone close to me who could sing to me. But the family member that I love the most lives 5,600 miles away from me :'(

[jeffstunes]

@CyberDream101

Thank you. That's a bit of a distance. I gather you use skype :)

There is no distance when they live in your heart.

[ArthursTheEmoDude]

Man, you're amazing

[jeffstunes]

@ArthursTheEmoDude

Thank you :)

[acs108]

Good job :).

[jeffstunes]

@acs108

Thank you :)

[uschb2]

I don't know why you aren't a professional singer. Your absolutely amazing.

[jeffstunes]

@uschb2

Thank you. The music industry is so difficult to even get started in. I had to self release my own album! Unfortunately the worthy labels will not touch anyone who doesn't already have a big fan base to sell to. Whatever happens in life I'm quite happy putting stuff up on youtube :)

[YolaPiercedTheVeil]

This is great! You sound like you should be a country singer!

[jeffstunes]

@YolaPiercedTheVeil

Thank you. I've been told that a few times. I'll have to add some more country numbers to my YT vids :)

[saltednuts15]

Awesome.

[jeffstunes]

@saltednuts15

Thank you :)

[kadrilkkl]

your british accent kinda turned into a southern one...

[jeffstunes]

@kadrilkkl

I'm following how the song makes me feel when I sing it. That's an interesting conclusion :)

[YepItsDan]

You're really good, I wish I could sing like that but I've tried so much but I just can't

But by the way, I feel like when British people sing they sound american lol

[jeffstunes]

@YepItsDan

Thank you. I think that when most people sing in English, the accent is very similar. I don't see it as essentially American. I see it as the language of music :)

[lewiscalvert000]

awww cool i wish i could sing like you

[jeffstunes]

@lewiscalvert000

Thank you :)

[salzding]

very good ^^.. from switzerland

[jeffstunes]

@salzding

Thank you, and all the best to Switzerland and its stunning scenery :)

[oramrj]

Great sound, thank you for all your videos

[jeffstunes]

@oramrj

Thank you for watching and listening to them :)

[DaddysLittleGirl4197]

you're british. that's why I love you. ^.^

[jeffstunes]

@DaddysLittleGirl4197

Thank you. It's not just my incredible personality then? Lol. Only kidding :)

[DaddysLittleGirl4197]

@jeffstunes no actually you DOOO have an awesome personality... and a nice voice and cool hair. and I love when you say 'And I hope you enjoy it^.^" lol you're pretty cool dude

[Sparta729]

Do a cover of Roxanne by The Police, please. Also, I greatly enjoyed hearing this. 

[jeffstunes]

@Sparta729

Thank you. I know the song you mentioned very well. I was only listening to the album a week ago. Unfortunately I stopped taking requests when my back list went over 400 songs, but thanks for the suggestion. It's a great song.

[444pride]

ur british teehee nice accent and good singing teehee british except i think im better at singing jkjk by by british man

[jeffstunes]

@444pride

Thank you. If you believe you are better than me at singing then you should put some singing videos on Youtube. I have over 2,000 subscribers and have had well over a million views to my videos. If you're better then you should get more. There really are no excuses. Get those videos up :)

[Taaaaait]

when you talk you sound like the guy from peep show

[jeffstunes]

@Taaaaait

Really. I never noticed myself :)

[MakeoverArtist101]

I think your really good (Better than me) Those 46 people don't have ears. : )

[MakeoverArtist101]

your accent is nice

[jeffstunes]

@MakeoverArtist101

Thank you. I never really notice it myself, but then I wouldn't because everyone around me has a similar accent :)

[Thecutemama3]

This is really really good, absolutely enjoyed it lol great job!! :)

[jeffstunes]

@Thecutemama3

Thank you :)

[musicluv2015]

hehehe ur british!!!! :D but great job ;)

[jeffstunes]

@musicluv2015

Thank you, and yes, I am British :)

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

Everyone knows this song. It was a radio hit.

[jeffstunes]

@AtariMaxiToriyama

Yes it was. A hit in many countries and also featured on a series of "Gray's anatomy" :)

[knthyl]

love your style!!

not just your voice, but your gesture and everything.

[jeffstunes]

@knthyl

Thank you. I really enjoy the songs I sing and I hope that it shows through :)

[gimmeyourcash]

you are AMAZINGLY good 8D this is the best cover ever (: do you live in the uk cuz i thought i saw you walking in town the other day :O

[jeffstunes]

@gimmeyourcash

Thank you very much for the compliment, and yes I do live in the U.K. Near Chichester.

[tobbe9898]

can u make a cover of the fray - she is ? :D :)

[jeffstunes]

@tobbe9898

Hi there. Thanks for the comment.

I have so many requests for songs that I stopped taking them. I gave up when the backlog passed 400. However I did do another fray song on Youtube. It is "You found me".

[Cardinal2594]

i wanna see you be bigger than justin bieber one day

[jeffstunes]

@Cardinal2594

Now that would be an achievement :)

Thank you :)

[biiieberlove]

@Cardinal2594 He will never be bigger than Justin Bieber !

[AnieZhang]

Wonderfully done

[jeffstunes]

@AnieZhang

Thank you :)

[shanilovenaama]

(:

[jeffstunes]

@shanilovenaama

Thank you :)

[sodzee]

I'm jealous. lol, I will keep practicing tho! :)

[jeffstunes]

@sodzee

Thanks for the compliment. Practice is always good :)

[jeffstunes]

@deanmill3r

Thank you. It might be fun to try that, although I do know how those shows work. It's pot luck if you even get through to the live shows.

[Vandalism99]

please go on x factor next year! i want to see you famous!

[jeffstunes]

@Vandalism99

The chances of me even getting through to the TV auditions are very, very slim. Although it might be a fun day out :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

[ChristusVlCTOR]

@Vandalism99 There's 51,560 veiws on this video... he is famous.

[peder0204]

OMFG, why aint you famous????????

[jeffstunes]

@peder0204

Oh I can dream. Lol.

Thank you :)

[tobbe9898]

this is the best cover of this song!

[jeffstunes]

@tobbe9898

Thank you very much :)

[diddydill]

BRITISH 5!!

[diamondyang1]

aaaaaahh, I LOVE your accent.

&& nice voice :D

[jeffstunes]

@diamondyang1

Thank you. It's English and regionally London :)

[YanLongnu]

[jeffstunes]

@YanLongnu

All I know is that I found it very enjoyable to sing :)

Thank you.

[RebelRoses209]

I <3 this song :) You totally did it justice!

[jeffstunes]

@RebelRoses209

Thank you. I certainly enjoyed singing it :)

[charlieschapter]

[jeffstunes]

@charlieschapter

Thank you very much :)

[1266222]

NICE SINGING



[jeffstunes]

@1266222

Thank you :)

[Purplelicious86able]

Nice singing.... do you do it for living??? Cause you should try it out....

[jeffstunes]

@Purplelicious86able

Hi there. Thanks for the compliment. I don't sing for a living (yet). I do write my own stuff. The music industry is notoriously difficult to break into so it's a good job I love what I do :)

[Purplelicious86able]

@jeffstunes YOU KNOW YOU GOT IT!!! TRY, TRY, TRY!

[davidulibarrim]

you are really good

[jeffstunes]

@davidulibarrim

Thank you :)

[Vandalism99]

your unbeliveable! better then the frays version!

[jeffstunes]

@Vandalism99

Thank you. A fine compliment indeed :)

[HighlandKnight]

I listen to your version of this song quite often. Honestly, your version is my favourite by far. What a voice!!! Great feeling!

[jeffstunes]

@HighlandKnight

Thank you Michael. It never ceases to amaze me how well some of my renditions are received :)

[kaakaoneiti]

Wow, amazing! I love this song and ur doing greeeat!

[jeffstunes]

@kaakaoneiti

Thank you :)

[TheSHYNESS97]

AWESOME!

[jeffstunes]

@TheSHYNESS97

Thank you :)

[jeffstunes]

@Naughtonator

Thank you.

I do write my own songs and I do have an album of my own material that is available digitally. That includes Itunes. A good number of my album tracks are on my Youtube channel. I'm hoping to get some good musicians together in the future to put together some more albums :)

[joetheazl]

this video made me smile...so much my cheeks hurt :DD

[MrGazza1939]

your a fantastic singer mate one of the best ive heard on here..if you don't mind me asking( where are you from ?)..

[jeffstunes]

@MrGazza1939

Hi there. Thanks for the compliment. I'm in West Sussex.

BTW. Keep up the keyboard. Mistakes are all a part of practice. If you didn't make them you wouldn't know how to improve. I heard a guy playing keyboard in Winchester the other day on the street. He was busking and making lots of mistakes. I'm still far from perfect on the guitar, but then I don't need to be for recording purposes. I just need to get it right once :)

[SuperNolanator]

wonderful song i don't sing but my brother plays in a band and i love waching him i'm only 11 but a few months back i started playing drums i love playing my brother says im realy good for my age checkk out my channel god bless :)

[TerminX100]

AMERICAN IDOL!

[jeffstunes]

@TerminX100

Thank you. Unfortunately I don't live in the U.S.

You are getting a new show next year called the X-Factor. It's like Americal Idol but it's open to all ages :)

[Loagster31163602]

This is my fave song and now i look at it a different way... BETTER

[jeffstunes]

@Loagster31163602

Thank you very much. A fine compliment indeed :)

[crazy2cold]

i love you

[VANGIERULES]

WOW!!!awesome:_

[jeffstunes]

@VANGIERULES

Thank you :)

[Ohgeeitvienna]

haha how do british ppl sing with american accents like the beatles thats cool. you'd be a good country singer

[jeffstunes]

@Ohgeeitvienna

I believe that singing is an accent in itself :)

I have done some country songs before. Thanks for the comment :)

[loveyou3323]

that's not good !

[jeffstunes]

@chenzel1994

Actually for this and many other vids I just used the onboard sound card. The microphone is an AKG C1000s and I use a Behringer MIC100 Tube Pre-Amplifier. I bought the Pre-Amp on Amazon and The mic from a music shop :)

I hope that helps :)

[Kaydenthedude]

it sounds like u have a southern American accent when u sing

[jeffstunes]

@Kaydenthedude

Thank you. I've had a few comments telling me that i would sing country well :)

[MrAlucard88]

Brilliant rendition of this song! your voice really suites it! I think it is better than the original! keep on saving lives! :)

[jeffstunes]

@MrAlucard88

Thank you very much for the compliment. All I know is that i like to put feeling into songs when I sing them. Some people can recognise that. I think it adds something.

[5StarCountDown]

wow your cover was way better than mine

[jeffstunes]

@5StarCountDown

Thank you very much :)

[zagat44]

I always found it interesting that you Brits sing with American accents. Well done though.

[jeffstunes]

@zagat44

It is interesting. In some songs I pronounce certain words phonetically American English and some phonetically British English. Sometimes it just feels right to sing in a certain way :)

[DjBBKTeeVee]

fore some reason i think you would sing country really well :D

[jeffstunes]

@DjBBKTeeVee

You know, you are not the first to say that :)

I have a few country numbers lined up for the future. I've already done "If tomorrow never comes" by Garth Brooks :)

[DjBBKTeeVee]

@jeffstunes hahaha well done sir. i must say i really admire what you have done and you have helped me improve my singing with your tutorials, i will be posting videos soon and i would love to get your feed back :)

[moepsp]

AMAZING do you sing for a living or do you like teach singing?

[jeffstunes]

@moepsp

Thank you very much. I do write and produce my own material but it doesn't make enough to support me. I've put a few singing tutorial vids from stuff I've learned over the years but I'm not a teacher.

[xmisskatibabyx]

u sound just like the fray

[jeffstunes]

@xmisskatibabyx

Thank you :)

[videinha]

good song...well sing... keep going man...

[jeffstunes]

@videinha

Thank you :)

[xsn1p1ngang3lx]

i think your accent added the little help this song needed, well done good sir. 10/10 i give to you and a sub as well

[jeffstunes]

@xsn1p1ngang3lx

Thank you very much :)

[bitememan]

wow you are great

[jeffstunes]

@bitememan

Thank you :)

[weirdnessis00]

[jeffstunes]

@weirdnessis00

[etie5]

[jeffstunes]

@etie5

Thank you :)

[FaceOfAngels]

[jeffstunes]

@FaceOfAngels I had to look him up on google :)

Thank you :)
