fucking amazing bro! keep going!

[pandothielraina]

This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for doing a cover of this song. It's one of my favorites and you did a wonderful tribute to it. You have an amazing voice. Please keep singing until you get to where you want to be. I want to see you on television someday. :)

[garrethdavis]

fantastic well done man

[rinnin]

Great cover dude. Tell me though, whats the pickup you have in your guitar? I love the sound of my guitar & would like to maybe record some stuff (just couldnt afford an Acoustic-Electric at the time).

Thanks

[hobbesyb]

WOW

[miggerino]

I'd like to hear you sing a Jeff Buckley tune. I think you have the right sort of tone for it.

[funkyiceman]

Wow! I wish that were true!  Even if I had the tone I certainly don't have the range... I have tried but singing Jeff Buckley usually results in me straining my vocal chords!

[shamanahala]

Wow, dude! Pretty sweet cover!

I like it a lot! :)

[Steedrider]

Wow, I so love this song - chords please? ;-)

[123456789hellboy]

very very nice cover!!

What are the main chords you used ?

[andytetlow]

well done mate, you nailed it. its a great tune and you did it justice.

[4thDimensionFilms]

I must say, you not only have an amazing voice but your audio quality was fantastic.

[funkyiceman]

Thanks fella! I have studied recording and I work as a sound engineer so I suppose it helps!

[4thDimensionFilms]

ah, thats probaly why it sounded so awesome. probaly how you managed to do that echo effect like Hansard had it.

also: do you have extremely expensive headsets?

[funkyiceman]

Not sure what you mean by headests? I just use decent software- Logic Pro.

[4thDimensionFilms]

as in ear phones, alot of sound technicians need extremely sensitive headests so they can listen to everything in the music. some have a bass, treble, and mid section so the part you put in your ear is the size of two pop corn kurnels. they're even sensitive enough to be able to hear the flaws in the DJ's are making in putting all the music together... quite the state of the art technology...

[funkyiceman]

I don't use good headphones but I use some okayish monitor speakers for mixing. It's probably the compression and reverb that add to the sound because the mic is crap (SM58's are shit!) and the guitar is DI'd. Please check out my MySpace (address in video description) for some better produced stuff...

[harharnarnar]

Hmm. You sound very much like Glen in this song, only ...not quite. I'd agree with mynick. It is less of a cover and more of a copy. You do have a lovely voice, sounds like it has the potential to be quite powerful, but I would advise you to develop more of your own sound, especially in these covers. Unless if getting the same exact sound is what you're going for. Anyways, Mr. Hansard really is a brilliant inspiration--it's great to see people getting more and more into him and the Frames.

[funkyiceman]

Thanks very much! I suppose imitation has been a way for me to explore my voice and if you listen to my original material (link in the song description) I hope you'll find that it has more individuality!

[mynicksalreadytaken]

ok, you sound a lot like the original, so this is more like a copy than an interpretation :/ i think you could do much better!

[funkyiceman]

I wish I could agree!

[mynicksalreadytaken]

you re right, you actually did interprete the song, eventhough you re close to the original. take it as a compliment! ;)

[funkyiceman]

I meant that I wish that I thought I could do much better...

[adambsc]

dude its great! well done! could you please post the tab on here aswell?? I've been looking for the tab for ages man and i can't find it! pleassseee :P

[mcLocus]

Really great, but I would suggest this: in the chorus, you should sing the word "someone" longer, now it's too short. Sing it almost until the change of the chord, like Glen does, listen to him.

[funkyiceman]

Yeah he sings it longer live than on the record... I think I probably did it this way without thinking about it because it makes it easier!

[xoxochanelxoxo]

your voice is so hypnotic..

You have an amazing talent, keep them comingg! :)

[shmydia]

whered u find the chordsss

[my5fireflies]

Mate that was excellent. Everything I have seen of yours is highest standard. i don't think you realise quite how good you really are, take it from me, you are great

[funkyiceman]
