The Cure - Close To Me cover

[mrhitmanisback]

you actualy made a good tune cheesy

[DanKarukami]

Great cover :D with drums it would sound awesome n.n

[MikeOldness]

Bruno Mars?

[Egjahnke]

A little to Jason Mraz (sp?) for my taste.

[drewfonts]

@Egjahnke Fair enough, but I bet Mraz hears "A little too drewfonts for my taste," a lot.

[MinasTirith82]

very nice

[DplanKleFou]

ça serait une belle reprise si tu te la racontais pas tant... t'as fini par le mouiller...ton caleçon ? lool... sinon un joli brin de voix c'est sûr... un duo futur avec Carla ? ;) Bon je gaze surtout parce que tu as plus de vues que la mienne, alors m'en veux pas... ;)

[espdkv420]

I liked it man :)

[arkelz]

Awesome cover, and fuck the rest i like the hat haha. Any chance i could grab the chords or tab off you man, i can see most of the chords but some of the fills i cant figure out. cheers

[sirLightnin]

Very nice... Thanks for upping this!

[moingbok]

nice cover man like it a lot. how are you tuned?

[drewfonts]

@moingbok I'm tuned to E flat (down a half step from standard tuning).

[Slapbass13]

It was brilliant.

But that hat. What the fuck?!

[cxpage]

Wow! What a great version. I am in the process of working up a unique cover of this song. I GUess I'm not going to go the acoustic guitar route - LOL! You've got it covered pretty well.



[n89046096999]

КРАСАВЧИК!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gonerobbin]

I really liked this take on the song. Your playing is good and your voice sounds great. Well done mate. Nice responses by the way!

[djsexbird]

gayest thing i have ever seen. why would you do that?

[brasileiropsb]

nice version,i dont think it is possible to do exaclty as the cure does, btw even if someone else can play exactly there will be a problem forever : the voice, robert smith is singular...congratulations i love the cure and your version is wonderful

[OISSELAtube]

i love covers far different from the original

[thischarmingruby]

the cure is my favorite band since a kid i like ur cover a bit poppy but nonetheless i think robert might smirk at it :)

[irishandy79]

nice work mate......fuck them dudes...you look like your enjoying it....and why not...your pretty good at it...well done

[oXTheSkyIsFallingXo]

you are awesome

[Silvye00]

:OOOOOOO I love you jajajaja xD!!

[dinaaxds12]

Okay so 2 points for even knowing this song! and 3 for having an amazing voice <3

[CaptainShamrock66]

Well, at least you show that little bit more of prfessionalism in them. Good on ya.

[CaptainShamrock66]

Lol your responses to your critics are great. I love the Cure, hate your version but still youre talented. Now give me a reply...btw...you seemed to have rehearsed your entrance and exit on the vid lol...take long to master?

[drewfonts]

@CaptainShamrock66 Glad you got something out of it.

Truly, my entrances and exits are naturally polished and just look well-rehearsed. Thanks for noticing. Actually, they're kind of a necessity, since I just shoot my vids on a digital camera. No director or cameramen, believe it or not.

[sergeaco214]

Do these shitbags realize that your playing the guitar? Why are they hatin on the hat? Note to said "shitbags". ...Get a clue, or better yet, buy a guitar of your own and maybe then you'll figure out that it's not as easy as it looks! Good show mate!

[chrismustamu]

this makes me happy 

[aclopezestrada]

Jack Johnson just got raped by Robert Smith.

[MrStankoman]

ist jason mryaz...

[elymania86]

Hi mate,I'm an italian guy , can you explain me the riff you play from the second 28 to 35, please? I've been trying it for hours but I can't find it...thanks...great play!

[xximjust2gdxx]

i dunno the whole point of the song is that its meant to be weird which is what makes it so good. You kind of ruined it by making it sound like any other pop song

[666Hellsing]

i was going to call you an asshole for that stupid hat but the playing itself is good.. so i have to say well done

[luketaylor247]

i like it

[sydgerald]

for some reason it reminds me of faith by George Michael (in some parts) I don't care if you've changed the tempo or mood of the song, or if your hat is douchebaggy (as some have mentioned).

Music is about freedom and creativity, so your cover is awesome. If I wanted to hear the "studio version" I would've have typed The cure, instead of "cover" right??

Anyway, well done, keep up the good work!

[NalaMashu]

Nice

[caperear]

Diablos!!! im eager to pick up on guittar lessons again, and im expecting one day, to play "close to you" the way you do it , AWESOME. un cover genial...

[simntoast]

I'm french so my english is very bad but your video is just amazing

Tanks for this beautiful time

[FIDOUS]

Piss on the naysayers. Nice version and well sung. Keep it up.

[Rudge103]

He plays well and sings well.. but u know the original version is awesome!

[redcure]

ohh boy! u ruined that amazin'' cure song wheeeee!! XD i hope robert smith wont catch u XD

[sokerik1]

good job......cool=)))))))))

[jlgsolutions]

good cover man!

felicitaciones!

[Sdg174]

Hey man, sounds awesome :).

[BRUCOQUET]

very nice. That's groove !

[pubsinger9986]

Fantastic Mate

And I am unashamedly gonna nick your version and put it in my live set. I'm sure Robert Smith would love this :-)

[ernestom72]

What a cool cover bro, thanks for sharing!!!

[pa0791]

O___O AMAZING!

[XXhurlgurlXX]

Lol you just sat down and started playing right away...I love that song btw

[KGruending]

Step 1: Grab pretentious, douchebaggy hat

Check.

[drewfonts]

Funny, because when I walked into the hat store, that's exactly what I asked the sales guy: "Hey, what can you show me in something pretentious and douchebaggy?"

[KGruending]

Awesome. You actually saw it as intended humour. Cuz I don't have to say your version of Close To Me is awesome and deserves 5 stars.

[000aloush000]

@drewfonts step 2: prepare for abuse on youtube and write a witty sarcastic reply =) Check.

[MyLifeBeforeYou]

I loveeeeeeeeeee it!!

[Iwishimpossiblething]

Amazing cover,

Congratulations

[pellicano110]

[yurtoob]

im going to be brutally honest... awesome voice and cover. its a good twist on the song

[drewfonts]

I'm going to be brutally honest...thanks a lot!

[shafe44]

Yes, a Mraz rip off.

Dude you have some talent, get your own identity.

[drewfonts]

If by "get your own identity," you mean "buy a new hat," I am SO ON IT.

Sigh. Everyone's an American Idol judge all of a sudden.

[machar]

Awesome!!!!! U have made one more fan !!!!!!

[knotcrazy]

Trying to be Mraz???????????

[drewfonts]

As a matter of fact, he's trying to be me.

[WillowWildfire]

ROFL! That come-back was great dude. x] Nice cover.

[oogawalla]

[tehALEC]

not enough gasping.

[metti4s]

Very nice cover! You've really made your own thing out of this great song :)

I like the thing you do on the guitar between the verses, and also the nice laid-back version you've choosed to play the song in.

[nerolivellozero]

Complimenti, bravissimo e creativo! Cris

[opentragedies]

This is beautiful, its so chilled out. love it:P

[boros1977]

[nategan]

[klo837]
