Amy Millan - I Will Follow you into the Dark (cover)

[ElementIU2]

was playing a different vid of this the album version that is, looked over and said "oh cool, a live cut" it picked right up where the album version left off when i clicked

[LaurierTiernanMusic]

Holy moly, this gave me goosebumps.

[hiphophorray123]

fuck, her voice is just so angelic

[drds89]

Country is not my cup of tea, but Amy's voice is so nice, you can't diss her cover.

[Montypytho17]

I love covers like this. Instead of playing it the same as it was made, she changed it. Shows so much more talent.

[SirPunchy]

@Montypytho17 I kinda agree. Making a cover yours is something to covet, but I don't think this is a good example. This is a sad song, this makes it sound almost happy. That shows me that she missed the emotional mark of the song altogether.

Music is an art, and art is all about emotional expression.. so despite her really nice voice, this is a fail to me.

[ryamary]

This is my favorite version of this song. The original irritates me but this makes me want to sing along.

[soulshinz]

certainly nothing wrong with a banjo....blind melon, neil young, led zep, the eagles, REM, phil collins, primus, the who, the hollies are all "rock" artists who often used a banjo

[otherworldtrader1]

what's with people who claim to dislike anything country so bad. i don't really know of anything amy has which doesn't have a country sound.pop and rock , and rap is so bad off they all are turning country to survive.

[daniohs]

Amy did a beautiful cover of a beautiful song. I love this! Thanks for putting it up! Sweet camera, too :)

[rogue0567]

oh my gosh i just love amy

[fiatlux22]

I love the banjo and the way you said knuckles!! lol Love it!

[monsieurnat]

Je pense pas que le but était pas de faire une meilleure chanson... mais d'en faire une version différente. Bluegrass ou non, c'est une question de goût. Pour ma part, j'aime beaucoup, et je suis pas un redneck. C'est toujours difficile de reprendre une bonne chanson d'un groupe populaire. Je pense qu'elle a relevé le défi.

[0ntology]

this is cute and really simple. i love how people get offended because there's a banjo lol, this is barely country, chillaxe yo!

[foreverinmyheart1234]

Her voice is so good but unfortunately the arrangement doesn't suit the song.

[randymcfallon]

Well that was an interesting take on that song, but it sounded awesome. You haters must just love Death Cab too much...

[otherworldtrader1]

songs of this type only qualifly for country or ballad. anyone shoul;d be able to recognize a balad when they her it.. anyway we claim it as ours so go sulk someelse:):)>

[otherworldtrader1]

wow what some jerks on here. the music and singer and band are awsome.

she's just out of some peoples league when it comes ot real intertainment.. I could listen to her all night

[feikma90]

I like folk but this just doesnt seem right to me.

[HatchetFamily]

To everyone who says its awful and horrible, honestly just stop talking. If your gonna say something of that nature, then at least try to make constructive criticism. I personally didn't like the country twist all that much, kind of takes away the feelings the original keeps and gives off. But this isn't bad at all, for what they were going for that is.

[ecosmart123]

I disagree that the bluegrass\country/folk twist given to this great song is a bad idea. A straight ahead note for note version would not be creative in my opinion. The banjo and lap steel has been scrubbed from modern country in favor of faux nasal twang and phony American jingoistic pride and redneck stereotypes. This is closer to Carter Family than it is to Gretchen Wilson's bullshit redneck girl pop. All that being said, I like the original better as I do in most cases of cover versions.

@ecosmart123

could not possibly have put together a better description of 'country' music...i especially like the jab at gretchen wilson, brilliant

I like the feel of Millan's cover better actually, she really did a great job of fitting the song into the alt-country genre

[snprshot]

oh god.. once i heard the twang and banjo i died a little inside.. sigh country ruins everything

[dantheman108]

fuck aweful

[computerchen]

That's horrible. You can't play this song as a country song, you just can't.

[Hamgammy]

worst decision she made was to cover this song country style

downright awful

[jbacz]

wooh i use the same camera...ahaha nice vid

[emspirit]

Ya give me the brand and model number of your camera.  I'm not a big fan of this cover but I love the camera!

[devilsbymyside]

Its a D-SLR. A Canon Rebel T1i... love it!

[nightswithbrightdays]

You've got a really good camera.

[buscoitaly]

it sounds countrish... dunno, even if i love both stars and death cab this cover kinda sucks
