THIS IS AUTOTUNED. I'm guessing most of you are not familiar with and have not used Antares plug-ins. Antares AT is the widely used industry standard. It can provide a relatively subtle pitch correction effect (as Relient K's engineer has used it) or it can be set aggressively to give the notorious "T-Pain" style effect. Subtle autotune is not a bad thing people! Don't get so defensive when an ear more experienced than yours tells you something you don't want to hear. (Life lesson for the day)
the original lyrics are feel so break up! check it out. The john B sails (original name) was a folk song that the beach boys covered
also relient K is a very talented band, ive followed them for some time, they have no need for autotune, hear them live and you will see, its harmonizing that is heard not voice modulation. and if you listen closely you will hear a few flats throughout the song especially at the end. explain those to me if its autotuned
@thanMan102 Yeah I love the "Break up" cause that is how Bahamians and other West Indians talk. There is a Guyanese/Trinidad term called "Cook up" I love West Indians. Too bad there are no other dancehall versions of this song except a british ska version by the vibrators, just has annying intro and he says "Broken up"
@thanMan102 The Original lyrics will never be known since this song is over 100 years old. Some of the earliest lyrics from the '30s, though, are different: “The police came on board and take him away. They take him to jail, without any bail. The cook he had the fits, he started burning up the people's grits. The captain came and ate up all of our corn. Say, Mr. John Stone please leave me alone.” Check out Blind Blake Higgs.
not even close to the beach boys version... the smoothness of their douchebag voices ruins the song. i'm sick of that gay little accent that the guys from every punk band have when they sing too
There's no way this is autotuned. You can still hear the natural "imperfections" in the vocal pitch. I use that word with quotes because the "voice is imperfect" attitude is what created bland vocals in today's pop music. Autotune does have its place when blatantly robotic tones are desired, but if used in any other way, the entire band might as well be synthesized.
@TheEqualyzr Auto- tune is used very lightly in this song. The engineers in this situation did not use it correctly however because you can hear it when Matt sings "town" at about :20 or :21. I don't think it's wrong for RK to use it in this situation. You know they dont use it live, but since this was a recorded session that would be publicized, they did add a subtle use of Antarez auto-tune FX on each VOX track just because its hard to keep perfectly on pitch when you're singing high harmonies
The entire fucking song is ruined from beginning to end. The guy doesn't even get the lyrics right!!!! "the grandfather and me"? Really? This is the most awful cover.
@DeathsBite I can ignore most of the wrong lyrics... that part that gets me is when they say "I feel so break up"... it's "broke up"... Other than that, though, it's a nice cover.
You guys saying the autotune ruined this song......you are idiots....I am a producer/musician signed to management and a label....there is aboslutely NO autotune whatsoever in this song. Get a life and learn something about music.
There's a stigma that's associated with auto-tune thanks to artists like T-Pain and more recently, Rebecca Black. But really, it's ubiquitous in pop music. Anyone who is familiar with the process of music recording will agree with me that there is auto-tune in this rendition. If you can't hear it in the three-part harmonies, listen for it in John W.s backing vocals during the chorus.
@digginholes05 They sound like this live. this is not autotuned. There are actually people this gifted and blessed.. if you dont agree, listen for the flat in the middle part in the last measure. there are other parts where that voice is flat enough to barely make out to the trained ear, but the rest of it is actually that good.
@dookiehead Really? Autotune? You do realize that an acoustic song means NO ELECTRICITY - INCLUDING AUTOTUNE. These guys are the bomb. Even if it can be subtle, it wouldn't be this subtle, as if it weren't there? Also, both matts were in their school choir so... I don't know what you have left to say or how you feel, but check the facts.
@PandaceMcFrizzle ok, so they played acoustic. but you're also aware that the song was recorded with electricity right? the microphones they're singing into are using electricity to run? and that the bass player is actually plugged in? and that this track was eventually mixed and mastered using electricity? and that the obvious auto tune was then implemented (with the help of electricity) to ENHANCE the vocals. no doubt these guys can sing, but their voices are slightly digitized on this track.
I commented on this video a year ago, and I stand by my conclusion. Very obvious autotuning. Which has nothing to do with singing "well" or "good" -- it's simply obvious to hear the digitization of the vocal waveforms. You can clearly hear the vocals flutter at 2:26 when he is singing "Whoa yeah". I'm sure he's a good singer, but that doesn't mean the producer didn't tune those vocals up to make them tighter.
this is 100% auto tuned...anyone with half an ear can hear it. the first "hoist up the john b sails" is clearly auto tuned. not saying they are bad singers, but lets be honest, these guys couldn't hold a candle to brian wilson and the beach boys.
@dookiehed you have got to be kidding me. Autotune is obvious because as the voice changes increments, it changes the voice's tune by a whole step. Autotune has a clear distinction and I can promise you there is no autotune here. And if you were a true Relient K fan, you would know that they are actually all fantastic singers. If you still don't believe me some songs to prove this are: In Like a Lion (always winter) and Beaming
@95shayj yeah definitely not kidding you. you are aware that just because someone uses auto tune they dont have to sound like t-pain right? you can be very subtle with it.
and i'm not a relient k fan, i was just searching for beach boys covers. if you want to hear what this cover sounds like WITHOUT auto tune then search relient k live at the apple store in san francisco and watch it (begins around 6 mins). while they are very good singers, they are clearly flat at some points.
@dookiehed You're an idiot, who are you to judge their singing? Just because a group is good at singing dosen't mean they use autotune. Notice that in this video there are singing mistakes, it's a live recording, not a recorded and produced track. Try again.
@95shayj you're right, i did judge their singing. i said they are very good singers actually. regardless of their singing ability, there is still auto tune on this track. i'm really not sure a) what your actual argument is and b) why you're upset about whatever you're arguing about. auto tune doesn't have to change the voice "a whole step," you can just tweak the pitch slightly. this video is a prime example of auto tune being used to enhance a good singer's voice. got it? whiny ignoramus.
@dookiehed actually anyone with half an ear that knew what they were talking about would know that when they say "hoist up the john b sails" it isn't auto-tuned. It sounds that way because they are doing 4 part harmony on that phrase...which when pop stars use auto-tune, they use it to create a harmony (usually 4 parts) so it sounds like what your used to with autotune. only with real musicians like relient k, it's actually 4 different ppl singing.
@relientofleeland41 no it sounds that way because the voice is slightly digitized. listen to some older beach boys albums, those are 4 and 5 part harmonies and you'll hear that there is no effect on the voice! why do you think auto tune is so bad? this band can sing very well, but auto tune can enhance and strengthen pitches to help "liven" up a track, however it is noticeable to anyone who has been recording music for the last decade. but relient k is a Christian band so they are perfect right?
believe it or not some people can actually sing in this world... just because pop artists and terrible commercials use autotune, doesn't mean everybody else does....
Every artist touches up their vocals for album releases. Relient K obviously perfects their pitch when they master their album, as their note jumps in albums are perfect, and Matt's not capable of that in real life. But they still do have good voices without that help.
Who thinks they use autotune? You obviously aren't used to hearing real singers because everyone in this band can sing and sing well. And yes I recommend seeing them live to open your eyes to what a talented band looks and sounds like. Only the crap you hear on clear channel radio is usually autotuned. Those supposed "artists" don't deserve to be heard over bands like this.
@biggestkrisfan Before it was popularized by the beach boys, sloop john b was best known as a folk song, and the original lyrics were "I feel so break up"
Yeah, its obvious that there is auto-tune, but I don't think it was because these people can't sing. I think it was just the style they were going for, and honestly I can say this is one of the few GOOD applications of auto tune. Excellent cover, I love the harmonies and their voices suit well together.
Autotune ruined this cover. These guys are talented enough that they should have tried doin' the harmonies without it. If you're flat or sharp once in a while, who cares? The Beach Boys were too.
Yes...that's clearly autotune. I'm an audio engineer and work with it on a frequent basis. Even if I wasn't, anyone with any kind of ear can hear it. o_O Those obviously aren't natural sounding voices. Especially the bassist. He really had it on.
Again. I work with it in the studio all the time. It's so blatantly obvious that i can't believe you guys can't hear it. :| I'm sure they're good singers without it, but it's a Beach Boy song where you need to have perfect harmony. There's no way I can prove it if you can't hear it. It'd be lovely if the artists could come out and say something.
@grindcoremaniac did you not notice that every single one of the band members are singing? it's called harmonizing. it's what the Beach Boys did as well. they all know how to sing in sync with each other.
This has to be my favorite cover of this song - I can't stop listening to it. I'm not at all persuaded they're using auto-tune, but it doesn't matter to me. It's a real treat to hear regardless.
there no pitch correction in the other live songs in this series of sessions
so if there is auto-tune or something like that (i don't know) why is it just on one song? Great song either way this one beach boys and Kingston trio
Everybody who is downgrading relient k on this song.....you are either professionals and everything has to be perfect so you downgrade them...or you are amateurs that don't have a clue what you are talking about because I'm pretty sure relient k is legit. So keep your comments to your self please.
You quite obviously have no idea what auto tune sounds like dipshit. Do some research then come back to youtube with your tail firmly between your faggot legs.
@R0undAboutMidnight and I suppose the Beach Boys were gritty. Or maybe you are referring to the Kingston Trio's version. But of course you are from the Bahamas; you know what the gritty versions sounded like.
78720, the beach boys actually didn't write this song. It's been around since ww1, taken from a novel. Can't remember who wrote it, though. The line "I feel so break up" is actually the original verbage. Johnny Cash said "I feel so homesick" which I think is a lot more fitting for a song about a sailor.
Brian Wilson changed the lyrics in three of the lines of the song. He changed the lyric "This is the worst trip since I've been born" to "This is the worst trip I've ever been on". He also changed the lyric "I feel so break up" to "I feel so broke up". The line "Broke into the people's trunk" is changed to "Broke in the captain's trunk".
I don't know the difference between auto tune or not, but I know Matt Thiessen can sing, and Relient K are awesome talented. It wouldn't surprise me if they could do this without.
@BrandonHerritt The voices arent autotuned, there is a difference between autotune and harmonisation, I mean there may be a tiny bit done but not a lot and I mean the members of relient k can all sing so it doesnt matter, glee on the other hand is autotune on steroids
go and find something imprtant to do instead of being and talking about other's defects....at least hes doing something good and Praising the Lord with his talentt..............while you
@mombus From Wiki: Brian Wilson changed the lyrics in three of the lines of the song. He changed the lyric "This is the worst trip since I've been born" to "This is the worst trip I've ever been on". He also changed the lyric "I feel so break up" to "I feel so broke up". The line "Broke into the people's trunk" is changed to "Broke in the captain's trunk".
@garygak who changed it? i se trip in teh lyrics. also i can almost swear i hear " i feel so break up, i wanna go home" when it should be broke up, ( lyrics) either way i like it
@yamahonkawazuki It's originally a traditional folk song called 'Histe Up the John B. Sail' popular in the 20's. When the beach boys covered it the changed 'this is the worst ship' to 'worst trip' as a drug reference. and 'break up' 'broke up'. But they weren't the first ones to play with the lyrics or general feel of the song. Check out Johnny Cash's version from '59 and other pre-beach boys versions.
@garygak Wow cool. i sincerely appreciate teh history of this. i honestly did not know it. thank you. now ill have to dig up the other versions, and if i can find teh ww1 era recordings
@thecleaze well it misses flute and a lot of other interesting stuff, which makes it, compared to the Beach Boys version, boring. The singing of the lead singer is also very uninspired. Overal it's a far more flat, radio-friendly version. So, yeah, it pretty much sucks (although it's technically good!).
@thecleaze ive got to agree. i heard this groups name from another so called expert on yt. idk whom i like the best to be honest. KT idk if i liked alot. good yes but different. teh beach boys ive known longest, but i kinda like this one too
AHHHHH!!! love <3<3<3 better than the beach boy's one

Just a language question... any difference that they feel break up instead of broke up? Any different meaning of that at all?

@biggestkrisfan Before it was popularized by the beach boys, sloop john b was best known as a folk song, and the original lyrics were "I feel so break up"

Yeah, its obvious that there is auto-tune, but I don't think it was because these people can't sing. I think it was just the style they were going for, and honestly I can say this is one of the few GOOD applications of auto tune. Excellent cover, I love the harmonies and their voices suit well together.
Teppououo 11 months ago
Autotune ruined this cover. These guys are talented enough that they should have tried doin' the harmonies without it. If you're flat or sharp once in a while, who cares? The Beach Boys were too.

Yes...that's clearly autotune. I'm an audio engineer and work with it on a frequent basis. Even if I wasn't, anyone with any kind of ear can hear it. o_O Those obviously aren't natural sounding voices. Especially the bassist. He really had it on.

@Palakto where'd you get the idea that Thiessen has to use Autotune? his voice is incredible as it is. no effects here bro

@grindcoremaniac
Again. I work with it in the studio all the time. It's so blatantly obvious that i can't believe you guys can't hear it. :| I'm sure they're good singers without it, but it's a Beach Boy song where you need to have perfect harmony. There's no way I can prove it if you can't hear it. It'd be lovely if the artists could come out and say something.
Palakto 6 months ago
@grindcoremaniac did you not notice that every single one of the band members are singing? it's called harmonizing. it's what the Beach Boys did as well. they all know how to sing in sync with each other.

This has to be my favorite cover of this song - I can't stop listening to it. I'm not at all persuaded they're using auto-tune, but it doesn't matter to me. It's a real treat to hear regardless.

78720, the beach boys actually didn't write this song. It's been around since ww1, taken from a novel. Can't remember who wrote it, though. The line "I feel so break up" is actually the original verbage. Johnny Cash said "I feel so homesick" which I think is a lot more fitting for a song about a sailor.

@sarahjeanne18 I wondered about it myself.
From Wiki:
Brian Wilson changed the lyrics in three of the lines of the song. He changed the lyric "This is the worst trip since I've been born" to "This is the worst trip I've ever been on". He also changed the lyric "I feel so break up" to "I feel so broke up". The line "Broke into the people's trunk" is changed to "Broke in the captain's trunk".

yamahonkawazuki 1 year ago
@yamahonkawazuki It's originally a traditional folk song called 'Histe Up the John B. Sail' popular in the 20's. When the beach boys covered it the changed 'this is the worst ship' to 'worst trip' as a drug reference. and 'break up' 'broke up'. But they weren't the first ones to play with the lyrics or general feel of the song. Check out Johnny Cash's version from '59 and other pre-beach boys versions.

@thecleaze well it misses flute and a lot of other interesting stuff, which makes it, compared to the Beach Boys version, boring. The singing of the lead singer is also very uninspired. Overal it's a far more flat, radio-friendly version. So, yeah, it pretty much sucks (although it's technically good!).
