Fantastic cover, I was blown away by the quality. As for the Buckley debate, his Hallelujah captures something Cohens doesn't for me but you might want to check out his Van Morrison covers on live at Sin-é. The Way Young Lovers Do is just... well I can't listen to the Van Morrison version any more.
No cover ever deserves to be considered "better than the original." The creativity Radiohead had to write the song is what sets them apart from people who digitally record voice overs. I hope people wont be so naive as to ever consider a cover better than the original. Dont neglect the creativity!
I agree in some respects, yes. But.... Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah. Tell me that's not better than Leonards version... :) and i don't "digitally record voice overs" lol. Thanks for the comment tho
@ortoPilot I'll easily tell you Cohen's original version is superior. Come on man. Cohen gives the song some soul and some balls... Buckley just pussifies it.
Cohen's version (original) sounds a little "restaurantly", if i can say so. No doubts that Buckley's version's the best. Guitar, i think, is the better instrument for that song; however, John Cale's cover is great as well, and in my opinion is better than original too.
No offense to Leo Cohen and his fans, we have to give him credit for writing this song; nevertheless, sometimes it happens that you write song for someone else
Oh, come on don't be shy, we all know that not only those but Rufus Wainwright's, Bon Jovi's, k.d. lang's and all other versions are better than original,
Metallica's Loverman is better (not much better), but still better than Nick Cave's original.
Sometimes covers are better, much better than originals but that's not the Radiohead's case.
Wow. I should just not say anything but this is so typical of Radiohead fans. Always ranting about how Radiohed is set apart from everyone else and they are the creative gods and blah blah blah. I love Radiohead but honestly alot of their fans are annoying. Trust me buddy there are alot of covers in this world that are much better than the orginals.
Dude its a general statement. It wasn't only referring to Radiohead. I just dont understand how a cover could ever ever ever be as god as or better than the original. And yah i know what you mean about annoying Radiohead radiohead fans. Sorry that i gave off that vibe
Just because someone sings a song first does not make that version of that song the end all be all. Granted, all covers will be compared to that version but there are many people who have done covers of song that are better then the original. And as far as creativity of the artist, just because they sing it doesn't mean they wrote the song.
@RayCharles444 yeah i found this statement to be very black and white. I don't think that creativity will ever be neglected, orroPilot has said everything that needs to be said. But one way to look at covers are interpretations of a song.
thom is a god to me. radiohead covers rarely appeal to me because thom's space vibe simply cannot be duplicated. i like hoe youve layered the vocals here, very thom but all yours. really amazing.
i dont think ill ever say this again but this cover and the glen hansard covers i found to be better than the orignal !! this cover is off the chain and i love the way ortopilot is so modest and in touch with his fans !! he deserves to be famous !!
I'm a huge fan of Radiohead and nobody's voice is better than Thom Yorkes in my opinion, especially in this song. I haven't heard a single cover I'm impressed with.
So the fact that I heard your version and it echoed in my head for days says a lot - you have amazing talent.
I checked out your other videos and they are great too.
Keep doing what you love and good luck with everything!!
Pretty good ortopilot, very professional cover, i like your arrangements of songs very much, you exchange chords very well and make good use of the capo to put your own spin on a song, are you using theory to work out your arrangements> If so any tips would be helpful for me, as im trying to do my own covers to perform and there are only so many times i can rip you off!haha
I take my hat off to you - absolutely brilliant - you have a very beautiful voice - can I just ask what chords your using for this track as I am playing using G#m G A E C#m - but you appear to be doing something else . . you wouldn't be so kind as to share this with me . . many thanks for the wonderful music PS: Do you ever play in Scotland?
To chefoxtube...he DOES have his own songs but there is nothing wrong with covering songs. Professionals do it all the time because they are tributes to those who inspire us.
i love the muse cover but i have to say that i m not a big fan of this one... what i love in the orginal is how simple is the only voice... having 2 kinda loose a bit of the genius.. for me. sorry but comments are made to have also negativ opinion..
The original of this song has been a favourite if mines for years, and when I saw your posting, I was sure it would be another brave attempt, but, an impossible one.
I've just listened to this for the third time, and am finding it hard to find fault at all.
A superb and individual cover, which I am sure will bring you to a wider, and more ranging audience.
My favourite track of yours by a country mile, "Superb"
Outstanding version.Watching your videos makes me think i should work hard on producing my vids a bit more. Your voice is just as haunting and beautiful as Thom Yorks.5 super sized stars man. :)
Amazing cover, I love it. But I wonder why all of my favorite covers of yours aren't on iTunes...? :(

Love this version, I like that youve added harmonius vocals on some parts.
and the subtle instruments coming in like the piano and the violin.
this has a different feel to the radiohead one, this one sounds more sorrowful.
sounds like it is about the experience of one person, thats as best as i can describe it.
