hmm...you're pretty good. i think you could do a lot better if you keep at it (singing :P). i mean don't get me wrong, you're really very good and you have that rockstar hair and everything xD but yea, i totally have faith that you can do more ;)
The shirt you have that says THIS IS HOW I ROLL with the rolls a rollin', Just wanted to say that I OWN THAT. YUP. When I saw a vid with you wearing it, i ran to my closet and put it on. <3 thats all.
Great cover. You capos annoying the shit outa me though!. Move it closer to the 4th fret, you'll get a more accurate sound. Sry, I'm a perfectionist. Other than that, the guitar playing was clean, singing was awesome, great cover.
I've come to YouTube to listen to all of this stuff because 19 songs on my Top 25 Most Played already have Blue Skies written on them. As awesome as it'd look if it was 25, it also looks kind of strange. :/
I'll be honest. I think this is a very good guitar cover. But I don't particularly like your voice in this song. I don't know your voice in other songs. But I think you don't have that softness in your voice. I mean, you are not tuneless but, there's something missing. I know this is a cover...but when you hear van morrison's voice compared to yours....there isn't that softness.
But keep on! Your voice is not bad......just doesn't fit with this song. But is interesting. Just my opinion...
I understand what you're saying about the softness - I think that's more a matter of maturity and pain experienced - there's not much angst and pain. All I know, however, is that I "favorited" the video because it's better than any other Van Morrison cover I've found.
@DaveFromBlueSkies well in that case i'm very jealous of your first audience :)thanks for the reply! I tried downloading this song but it says it was removed/violated. If you removed it cool, but if not can you upload it again, cause i would love this on my ipod!
no.sorry dude it just isn't that good not something 4 u to sing i don't think your as good a singer as you are guitar. not to be mean or anything i mean you are brilliant at guitar just not a great singer but what do i know i just think you can do a bit better on the singing part
Lovely! I was looking for the Van Morrison version (they just played it on something and I really wanted to hear it properly!) and was so pissed off when I couldn't find it here - so thought I'd give the (*sigh*) cover version a try... and I'm so glad I did, BRILLIANT!
oh, i've listened to this song a million times, and everytime i can just start cry - i like your guitar - playing, it's so beautiul! you are very talented mate!!
I did not like the song at all. But you have such a nice voice and yo do it so well that i have heard your version like one hundred times in the last week. I love it;D it almost made me cry...
Dave that was amazing truly, you are so talented, it pains me not to see you on a major label with the support and backing you deserve. The only thing I'd worry about is compromising your integrity, its superb and cannot be valued -
if you ever come to America, look me up I'll do whatever I can to help ya be signed.You really deserve it- also any CD ya release let everyone know when and where, I think many many people will want it BAD
oh, haha in my Graphics Class, we have to design (or redesign) a cd cover, and i was thumbing thru my itunes library and saw "In the Absence of Superheroes" so i've chosen that to do a design for. i havent finished yet, but i'm hoping it will turn out alright, considering we only have a few days to work.
I almost wish (but not really) that you would have a video that would impress me less so that I could actually have a favorite, because all of your videos are my faveorite
