J. Newsom, On A Good Day

[chelseamuse72]

one of the greatest artists of his generation.

[FolkyFan15]

FLEET FOXES SHOULD TOUR WITH JOANNA MORE OFTEN. I LOVE YOU ROBIN AND I LOVE JOANNA!! :D

[5rebbecca92]

Robin singing Joanna Newson..okay,my life is complete. <3

[aecbauer]

This is one of my favorite covers of all time. Made me tear up the first time I heard it. Simple and beautiful.

[newfella1]

Robin, you were born to sing, this is a great cover of an equally great artist.

[lauandstuff]

seven people have clearly never had a good day.

[3Storm]

What it be possible to release this cover?

[undertheswings]

This is one the sketchiest videos I've ever seen and one of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard. Well done, sir.

[daisytamtam]

you have no idea how much i love you and fleet foxes..

[MrCrackerman1]

beautiful voice/song-one of my absolute faves

[Rinflynt]

Oh my God. My mind just exploded with feelings and wonder.

[electrocuteanna]

This is lovelylovelylovelylovely beautiful I am on the brink of tears. You have an incredible voice, I am in absolute awe.

[teobugbee1]

Joanna Newsom and Robin Peckinold...two great things that go great together.

[iswearnothing]

It's great but don't you think there's a little too much chorus/reverb.......

[NTravitz]

@iswearnothing no such thing.

[iswearnothing]

@NTravitz lol but it echoes on foreverrr, I'd prefer it if it was toned down.

[yjiscrazy]

One of the best covers i've heard, perhaps the best :)

[shmul72]

the seven people who disliked it have no soul

[JoeGaynerMusic]

You have helped me discover a few obscure artists or artists I would never have picked up on through covers such as these. Thanks Robin!

[TheSkwrk]

J-New is my all time favorite artist, but I kinda like this version of this song more than hers. I guess that's some pretty high praise.

[lemon492]

2 bangin' musicians melded into this. I think my heart just exploded.

[leggomyeeko]

Uploaded on my birthday last year :D

[countessjefferby]

so so beautiful amazing voice but i must say nobody can top joanna :)

[otheilemann]

His voice is what inspires Gods to make angels.

[kwcody]

dude, you've heard it enough, but i fuckin love you man. ive always followed your music, come chill in key west, we'll take care of ya, no doubt. you are my favorite band. i have good taste. k thanks.

[professionalassasin]

WHO ARE THE SEVEN PEOPLE THAT DISLIKED THIS?!

[geoklaus00]

i never thought the lone wolf that is joanna newsom would ever find someone who could actually mix well with her musically. it's AWESOME you guys are friends. i love ms. newsom and i love fleet foxes!!!

[theredtelephone1]

thanks for introducing me to miss newsom, fleet foxes are the greatest band in the world

[iwillneverdoubtyou]

this is dopesness of the highest order robinho.

[momokochan456]

I am a die-hard Joanna Newsom lover, and consequently, I just discovered Fleet Foxes (amazing)

Anyways, to be honest, I think I may like this version better than Joanna's.

[bigdt87]

your voice is a mountain's creek

[joerover22]

I wake up and play this song every morning....<3 from tennessee.

[DannyDSHomebrew]

Beautiful Covet man, you should put up a link to an mp3 or sell it somewhere, reverb was tight. Keep playing man.

[DannyDSHomebrew]

Beautiful. Cover

[3Storm]

I would love a hifi version of this cover. When you hit a high note it distorts a bit.

[3Storm]

Amazing

[apaCOLEipse]

Awesome cover.

[allysoon7]

lovely

[candyycorpse]

seven deaf people rated this video.

[AshleySmolnik]

Dear God I love you.

[olivepalm9]

Where can I get this cover?

[olivepalm9]

YES.

[eggsforlegs]

Oh my. Such an amazing voice. Fills my heart with joy -3

[maxloebman]

Hey man, this is mesmeric. Love the reverb...

I think it adds so much depth to a song. I'm definitely using it on my album.

[tinaf0301]

I feel utter bliss listening to you, Robin.

[didyoujustouchmyass]

what are the chords anyone? picking pattern would be nice too:)

[yellowbirdproject]

Epic. This man needs to do a t-shirt. Robyn, thoughts?

[MrCrackerman1]

On a good day, I can feel your love for me...:-)

[bmaddie31]

I listen to this at least 4 times a week. Please record!!!

-Love from the Blue Ridge Mountains

[MsEdgar88]

Awesome Robin! You sound different and it's a good different. The effects on that microphone or idk what you have.. makes it mesmeric.

[ChanceCooper125]

One could argue that Robin Pecknold is the greatest singer on the planet.. and there wouldn't be much that anybody could say, because he really, really is.

[mike94pietrobon]

@ChanceCooper125 That's so true!

[beefstue]

One of the most beautiful vocals i've ever heard, please keep the videos comin!

[artintheforest]

reveeeerrrrrb

[danj484]

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't familiar with your work until the Newsom tour this past go 'round. And I'm usually not impressed with covers of her songs. This is exceptional. You're exceptional. And now I love Fleet Foxes. Keep on keeping on, sir.

[marykack]

Lovely work Robin!!! I have to ask though, what pedals are you using?

[ChocolateRain68]

Need to record this somewhen..

[jenthefir]

Hey hey hey Robin! You make my day every time I listen to this, so uplifting, your voice is angelic! Thank you XXXX

[wienerzzz]

i love your voice in this song!

joanna newsom is beautiful too of course!

but yours is to die for~~~

[laffingman21]

theres some quality to this song, and your voice, thats just...it feels IMPORTANT. the way dylan feels important. and its not only this song, its her other songs, and your other songs. but that quality is very evident in this performance. so...thank you.

[Pravindaswani74]

i want to say that when Jeff Buckley passed away long ago no singer gave me such goosebumps when singin,my friends also thinks he's awesome.Pravin from Canary Islands,Spain

[mrbeckhansen]

Robin, THANK you! I wish you all the best and the best of luck with your new FF-album. I really hope you make 43 solo albums over the next 25 years :-)

Greetings from Denmark

[SuperBackflipboy]

i cant believe that you can make the mic peak with your voice from that far away

[sandboxblog]

That song suits you so well! Beautiful

[tobsterz58]

Oh! Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[Pen15Pants]

this a beautiful rendition of such a great song. you are very talented good sir.

[JoeBloggo400]

what an amazing creature this guy is, glad i am sharing our planet with people like this

[Gluck987]

Robin, you and Joanna Newsom are two excellent reasons why I feel morally obligated to be a songwriter. It's not fair that I get to take this kind of beauty from you people. I have to at least try to give something back.

[drtn]

you make all of my feelings appear on the outside. thank you so much

[TheHummingbirdsong]

nice 

[MissMFinn]

Wow, gorgeous, I got goose bumps.

[HugoNewman]

What a stunning song. Joanna Newsom is one of the finest songwriters of this generation. Actually, of any generation. I would include yourself in that, but I'm afraid that would sound hollow since you're, well, right there. Anyway, excellent rendition. All the best with the next album. Can't wait for it. P.S. Please come back to Ireland soon!!

[denisthegreek71]

how i love this...and how i play it about four times a day since it was put up ..thankyou mr pecknold.

[fruitbootin]

Intense cover , man. I had the privilege of seeing FF live in Royal Oak last summer, best show I've been to by far. You guys should come back on your next tour whenever that may be.

[ocd44]

I wish I could have seen you and Joanna on tour together :(

[JoeyMcChipmunk]

i love this. 

[3Storm]

This gave me the shivers. Great, great, great cover. :)

[SuperBackflipboy]

you know your too good when you like the cover better than the actual song. beautiful.

[Buddyismyking]

Dear Mr. Robin Pecknold I have been singing this song all day thanks to you. You're fucking amazing. Can't wait for the new cd to come out (whenever that may be)

[saintcaitie]

sooo beautiful!

[cavesandcaves]

what p.a. system is used in this? sounds amazing! this song is great!!

ps. robin- write an autobiography! haha

[Timmydu]

I basically pooped myself when I heard this. Thank you for recording this, dude. It made my day. Which probably wouldn't be worth it if that was the only good thing that came from this. But you did get some tears. haha. Tears are great things! I just wanted to show my support :) Keep blasting out tunes, we all appreciate it. -Tim

[SuperBackflipboy]

i can feel myself walking into a manor.

[Omgeekness]

You did this song great justice. Beautiful.

[roadtopeace]

This music is what makes me breathe, what gives me fresh air every second.

Isn't robin touring with joanna newsom? she's comming to belgium next week... please go with her robin, (or i'll have to go to america to witness your heartfulfilling preformance... that's quite far). Anyway thanks for all the magic!

[madizzle27]

A most wonderful cover. I feel like I need to sit next to a river or something nice while accompanied by this song.

[moowa]

so beautiful. obsessed with this song today

[RainbowJoyFriend]

Incredible! Reminds me of the mountains and rivers

[robinpecknold]

Yes I am right handed, the computer just flipped the video. Thanks for nice words and things guys

[davlon0]

@robinpecknold

I knew it! haha.

I saw you in bloomington and I was brought to tears. Thank you.

[honeybeerose33]

Where can I download this song?

[xXElMananaXx]

@honeybeerose33 If you find out let me know. Joanna is good on this song, but his voice is insanely good.

[honeybeerose33]

Where can i download this song! OMG!

[TannerDMB41]

incredible

[honeybeerose33]

amazing!!!! Love this!

[teaClocks]

oh my

oh my oh my

[jenthefir]

Love, love, love it!!! Makes me smile, so bitter sweet, sad but happy, would love to see Robin do this live!! XX

[natejoel99]

just beautiful

[sleakitweasel]

Very nice! Thank you.

A Fleet Foxes/Joanna Newsom collaboration? Wouldn't that be nice?

:-)

[groen92]

The first time I heard the Joanna Newsom song, I already had this Fleet Foxes feeling to it, it somehow has this Fleet Foxes kind of melody or something, I don't know. I still think you can't outshine the original though, it's just sublime (but you did a very nice job!).

[fakeplasticjack]

beautiful!! robin, you own

[AlleyaHanifa]

THIS IS GREAT. AWESOME COVER. You can't even compare this to Joanna Newsom's! *applause*

[kamphuisp]

Kinda a Band Of Horses thing goin on

[3Storm]

This is amazing. I love what you bring to this song. Don't fret for the people being hostile. Youtube will be Youtube.

[JoelPecknold]

long live the folk my older brou...

[JoelPecknold]

long live folk!!!

[JoelPecknold]

than good brother, a good cover of Joanna Newsom ...luck in your new album!!

[Drag0nas]

Beautiful song!

I like both versions.

[mooxD]

this is a beautiful cover. I love his voice.

[yellowballerinastar]

@themaskedcorndog yea i know what you mean :( but you should make a video and i can figure it out myself if there is a good view...

[pigasus]

I don't think you should mess with Joanna Newsom's timings.

[abcdface]

@pigasus Good ear. The tune is still in

3/4, but Joanna plays duplets on the harp.

Either way, Robin is brilliant, and so is

Joanna. Thank you both for saving the

world of folk music.

peace and love

[yellowballerinastar]

@themaskedcorndog figure it out! :)

[quarkhenares]

what? joanna newsom has a beard?!

[plasticsheen]

his voice works better with this song than joanna's. the feel of the song is very fleet foxes-y.

[shavedgooch666]

waitt woo, isn't he usually right handed?

[Willossss]

yeah, just realized that... crazy

[ryanoleskey]

@Willossss that explains the double pickguard...maybe.

[davlon0]

@shavedgooch666 he might be using a mac to record it! I love him!! I just saw him with joanna newsom in bloomington and he sang this song with joanna.

[Qber4life]

@shavedgooch666 I think the video is just mirrored

[xXElMananaXx]

@shavedgooch666 Yeah, what's up with that?

[FickleDawn]

Anybody got a tab for this?

[chelseamuse72]

@FickleDawn ...just wondering, is your username a quote from a Joanna song?

[FickleDawn]

@chelseamuse72

Yes, good spot, it's from 'Only Skin'. ("Hold your horses back from the fickle dawn...")

[chelseamuse72]

@FickleDawn Knew it!! One of my favorite ones of hers. :)

[spazattack136]

He makes FUCKING magic. Good lord.

[zoun16]

I simply love it...

thanks for you deeply generosity...

[JoeSmillie]

tremendous! absolutely stunning.

[elkethewise]

Not a big fan of the Fleet Foxes, but I like this a LOT.

[Astooor]

amazing

[brantleyjones]

man, i listen to this guy sing this song and i can't help but imagine how much in love he is with joanna.

i know she's dating the dick-in-a-box dude, but man, come on universe! rob and joanna are meant to be!

[shavedgooch666]

@brantleyjones, i couldn't agree with you more..

[Peatrick33]

This might be the best his voice has ever sounded. Good god is that wonderful...

[IroncladTube]

reverb much?

[rcurren69]

jealous much? or just bitter?

[wolfmother456]

This mans voice is incredible without reverb, it's pretty clear he uses reverb as an effect to make his voice fill more space.

[nicdafis]

Nicely done, sir.

[arapsasuga]

mrs. joanna pecknold

[jenthefir]

Can't stop listening to this! So beautiful, such a pure voice. You are so blessed to have such a gift X

[flavaflavs]

Wow, I didn't see that coming. This is one of my favourite songs from the new album and I didn't think a cover would do it justice. It's Joanna's song but he definitely didn't shame her. This is why good songs are written, so good singers can sing them.

[bcpeder]

Hey!

This is absolutely beautiful, Robin. Please continue!

[igludsss]

watery eyed hairs up couldn't see for a few seconds

Unfuckingbelievable.

[itsrealboring]

Nicely done, looking forward to your new album.

[jenthefir]

Just lovely, thank you Robin. Come back to the U.K soon! X

[ocd44]

Now on next Fleet Foxes album, will you guys take on one of the 9 minute masterpieces?

:)

Gorgeous.

[5648789654]

This is beatiful. Thank you.

[RawrBiznatch]

Joanna Newsom is my favorite artist right now, hands down. I love the original, but I love equally what you did with it here, Robin! Both of you are beautiful!

[Questpeace]

It's OK. But it must be said that Joanna Newsom effortlessly pwns this (as well as all Fleet Foxes music).

And that's no opinion, that's straight out of music history books from the future.

[Fluxchase]

@Questpeace Clownspeak

[5648789654]

@Questpeace yeah well... no matter how you put it, that is an opinion, and it is diminshed due to the fact that you use the term "pwn".

[theauthenticsimpsoni]

Newsom probably did far more takes for the album than Pecknold did for this one video, so try to keep that in mind.

[bcpeder]

@Questpeace I disagree. Be mindful of what you're listening to, tis' a low-fi cover, and it's beautiful nonetheless.

Hippie say, "Listen with you soul, not your ears. Don't critique or compare, just enjoy. "

[grayhaskins]

amazing :)

[kierstenmh]

This is lovely.

[enfulapa]

I really love your voice :)

saw you guys at Arvikafestivalen in sweden last summer :D we waved at you and you waved back, remember? ;)

[Cilogy]

dammit Robin, you made me cry

[jolomoco]

It's great to hear your voice again, Robin. This sounded real beautiful.

I know how much you adore this lady so i'm real pleased you're getting to tour with her soon. So have one on me dude.

Take care now

[mikeofcetacea]

So freaking amazing!

[Fluxchase]

This cat could sing the menu from a Chinese takeaway and it'd bring tears to your eyes. Awesome.

[hombre3000]

This is incredibly nice, beautiful singing and playing, gorgeous vocal control and little turns.

Thanks so much for sharing!

[baroquepopfan]

I'll say the same thing I said after listening (many times) to the Fleet Foxes album. Robin. Go solo!

[ocd44]

no! I have love for all the Foxes. although Robin is quite incredible all on his own.

[thefoxesarefleet]

ahhhhhh he is so amazing

[Nagem23]

dear god im in love

[DeppsSweetie]

why is it that he makes me feel like i'm dying every time he sings? robin = GOD

this is so beautiful.

[3Storm]

wow

[threatsignalpinkfloy]

i wish i was an eighth as talented!!!

[wolfmother456]

Totally agreed Robin is my Jesus.

[movingness]

I've been waiting so long for anything to come from you again. I love you guys and can't wait for the next album. much love

[ryanoleskey]

goin' lefty!
