Kaki King - Angeles

[AFBsax]

This song is amazing, and the people that dislike songs like these are stupid. period.

[InsomniaDonkey]

Two of my favourite artists. Great stuff.

[leraginasian]

watch my elliott cover video!

[Jouwl]

The foot zoom was awesome. Really.

[noirsociety]

o my, she did great justice with this cover, RIP elliot smith.

[Ceb773]

wow

[jcupsmells1]

nice breasts lol.

[MrBoldar]

rofl 1:50, zoom of her foot? why? lol. great artist, great song.

[therockingviking]

@MrBoldar i think the cameraperson must've thought she was using pedals ?

[nolifebutbmx]

pure gold. im kinda jealous that its so easy for her to play

[BurntJamb]

Beautiful.

[tharikreis]

She covered Angeles much better than she did with St. Ides heaven... it's beautiful.

[sxybstrd25]

She's got great skill on the acoustic but her voice is merely average

[jivemike]

This is ONE of many favorite elliott smith songs..... and the fact that she plays it....... God damn I have found the girl of my dreams.

[GraceAdler999]

Hey, i play it too...just badly..its sad really

[nightmanyak]

elliott smith just tear drop, that falling down so slow.

[Andrerocker88]

great cover!

[buchananstreet]

someone criticized me for having said a few raiugh words about her in one video where she slams the guitar and they all SCREAM : genius! to me she is just another fat girl who cant sing and has the right finger in the right guy of a record company, otherwise nothing could explain this total lack of talent, imagination, creativity and originality! the indie clubs are full of millions of such SAD EYED " talents" - dont mess with me! I dont buy the HYPE! try RALPH TOWNER

[SleepOutsdUrWndw]

HONEY!!!

Kaki King isn't fat!

[dazstar]

do u cover the whole album?

bad elliot smith covers make me die inside!

[IqmalB]

how lucky that guitar!!

[clemisery]

she's great! god damn!

[RonaldvanHippel]

Just wow!

[OiGusca]

OMG thats beautiful **tear**

[guitargoalie27]

So amazing. It's so amazing to hear a female voice sing an Elliott song, especially a hauntingly beautiful voice like Elliott's.

[GGBlind]

voice ? ... she can sing - lol ... i just saw her playing guitar ... and there is nothing or noone to compare to her at her guitar ... damn good

[alicatali]

Thanks so much for posting this. I love her sweet voice

[bm4972]

Great cover.  Kaki doesn't have the voice, but the guitar triumphantly pulls it through.

[dikanew]

There's no pretense here, just purity. A lot of would-be artists look for this sound, while Kaki just has it. Like Nick Drake, it comes from a place that is ineffable. Legend, and she's just begun.

[thenerocomplex]

you're absolutely right. she's just begun. and she's so amazing.

[thenerocomplex]

you're absolutely right. she's just begun. and she's so amazing.

[TwoGunsOneMile]

That was incredibly well said.

[toxicXwonderland]

She speed it up way too fast,

but what ever tune she has it in, (I guess full step down) sounds beautiful, along with her voice.

Love this girl.

[lehks]

sweet voice and great guitar playing, does the song justice

[greatbigcanadiana]

absolutely WOW.

[muckaru]

please give me the tabs to this one (anyone!). and i'll love you forever. thanks.

and thank you empressericka for uploading! i can't remember if i've already commented on it.

[penguinharry]

this is great indeed!

I actually rolled into Elliot since I heared Kaki mention him.

Just Great!

[noisepollution1618]

pure awesomeness.

[freshhh1]

there's no special tuning... she's just playing the song in regular open e

[shizzle412]

right but the original has a capo on 5

[shananiganxo]

capo on 7 tuned 2 steps down is the way elliott played it, but, she made it beautifull in her own way i loved it

[rubberting]

why did he tune it down two steps?

[Jiveness]

I tune a whole step down because I love the lower sound. I can also sing higher relative to my position on the guitar.

[Jiveness]

I think you mean one step down tuned; elliot smith probably didn't tune his guitar to Bb...

Also, one can just put the capo on the fifth fret.

[ahhbtm]

i love how she took a different approach to the song, like she didn't just read a tab and memorize it. beautiful cover

[liprincessprincess]

Really, really beautiful cover. But I wouldn't expect anything less from Ms. King. Thanx for posting.

[teddyyumusic]

siren hypnotic

[JohnBonKong]

Holy mackerel! Two of my favorite artists connecting!

[BJH2theXtreme]

thank god (even though he doesn't exist)

[taliclavi]

Does anyone know the key of this tune? I think Kaki's either playing in open E tuning or DADGAD. Any ideas?

[schwaber]

It's in standard tuning. EADGBE.

[BJH2theXtreme]

ACTUALLY, it's down a whole step . . . DGCFAD

credit to THE DEMAN!

[achonies]

@taliclavi capo the 7th

[mark1800]

Sounds to me like standard, but a full step down, or maybe a step and a half/two steps. Chord voicings sound very much like standard though
