[tooch1995]

i got chills, that was good!

[mtarolli]

Well done

[givemeyourfish]

great cover



[Radiohead17321]

WOW best Neutral Milk Hotel Cover out there you have a real talent

[Herp13Derp]

Your voice has amazing clarity. You have tons of promise and I think I might like this even more than the original.

[northstar789]

You rocked that song. Well done!

[maggiecathcart]

1:33 is pure gold! Very nice cover

[TheShadowFog]

:) This is AWESOME!

[veggiepunk2410]

This is so awesome! Great cover!!

[PinkFloydrulez]

fuck every single person who was talking through this

[chaosawaits]

I second that I hope this got you laid. You are indeed awesome, much more awesome than I was in high school, for sure.

[DSakaiOnRye]

You are awesome, sir

[TheDumdum123456]

what are the chords/ tuning to this I'm doing it wrong, you're not.

[AHarmlessBlackMan]

@TheDumdum123456 F then Bb then C Bb F

and then for the bridge it changes to C Bb

[librarianscales]

Aww how wonderful : )

[tigerboy1966]

if i ruled the world everey one at a talent show would HAVE to sing a NMH song

[mushroom1307]

well done.

[joesmomisdead]

Like'd, favorite'd, and subscribe'd.

[Fanchus]

@joesmomisdead reply'd

[Moley892]

Nicely done! That took guts man im very impressed youve done Magnum proud :D

[BlueFireMai]

HE SHOULD GET LAID.

[naraclan31]

lhs doesn't mean Lumberton High School does it? (The one in NC)

[DJkevvykev]

Great version.

Prolly better to label it as "Cover of..."

[jcdrbm]

Amazing cover!

[TendingToTheCorpses]

mad fuckin props dude! awesome!

[S1yF1y]

This is great, good on you. Let you passion shine, and it will brighten even the darkest places of the world.

[GItsYouAgain]

What is wrong with a lot of you? It is "retarded" to be unique and be different? Unlike a lot of you, he is HIMSELF. He's not afraid to be who he is and personally it would be a very interesting encounter to meet this guy. He seems like a really cool dude in my book.

I find humor in YOU. the people who think they know what's "cool" there's nothing cool about being typical but there's a lot of cool about being "different" it's our differences that make us shine

[GItsYouAgain]

@GItsYouAgain Wow! Nice Rant, Man

[RHCPm4nn]

That was excellent. I'm trying to learn this song. I would be a happy camper if I could sound half as good as that, nay, and eighth as good.

[ThomasYorkshire]

You should've gone into Pt. 2.....

[br00talKidHxC]

@ThomasYorkshire I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­SUS CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST

[kaiks88bonzo]

This may be the best NMH cover i've ever heard, just beautiful

[BohemianAsh]

Wow, I really wish I was playing this song live like this kid is! Amazing stuff

[MilesandScott]

this guy sounds almost exactly like jeff mangum. well done.

[joemunkey30]

jesus christ, incredible

[JBrrou]

You made me jizz my trunks.

[dreDREb13]

$20 says everyone there was completely perplexed at the awesome poetry of these lyrics.

[kirkom45]

Holy shit. You seriously sound like a teenage Jeff Mangum.Was it a contest? How did you do? Did you win? You should have.

[jman9082]

Dude awesome cover!! Also my school is LHS too haha

[Kingdagmarius]

Dude, its that your voice? If so, respect. Great Great Great cover

[kdirt81]

that's a fun song to play, great job!!!

[vonklumpp]

i love it! good for you!

[bread0666]

i see through to how it was.

[Villalistico180]

When he started strumming the guitar I tought "he's not going to sing it right and the crowd will eat him alive", I'm glad I was totally wrong, his cover is awesome, and the crowd was great.

[ChasHolling]

I love how everyone cheered. that's always a good feeling! :D

[myaccount611]

You're my hero. This looks like it belongs in a movie. Gives me chills every time.

[apeiken7444]

I think this is awesome. Everything from the performance, to the setting, to the audience reactions to the energy. A great moment captured.

[UpperCrustthe3rd]

really nice performance.

You did it justice.

Would've been hilarious if you'd played part 2.

I love you Jeeeeeeeesssuss CHRRRRRIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTT­.

[ScrewNormality1]

This is inspiring.

[vlightning]

This kid had balls.

[iGrunt]

Nice cover!

[elmalbo]

muy bien chaval!!

[natathon1979]

One of the better covers of this song I've heard! He's not trying to be Jeff Mangum, he's being himself.

[rockshow1806]

You're great :) Make more videos?

[Crzclwn]

I'm digging it man, keep it up.

[appledust18]

really good cover of an amazing song

[mightymuggle]

hey man this is great. good job

and what about that dude a 1:40 with the two-fisted devil horns. nice

[johnmorisi8]

awesome job. "NMH aghhhh omg!"

[ganstamannirvana93]

Damn you have a nice voice.

[izzy3245]

you are AWESOME great cover , i love it

[ChangetheMusicTv]

You got a voice on you, man. Also, you got some balls. Not a lot of kids would dare go up there and play a song almost nobody knows of, especially one that requires a shitload of confidence. You belted those vocals with nuts of steel, my friend.

[SomethinRofl]

It's just a good song on it's own, instantly liked it the first time I ever heard it. Also probably best cover I've heard yet of this song,.

[Evantheowl]

I've been a NMH fan for several years. and i have to tell you kid, excellent work. nicely done. one of my favorite NMH covers.

[artistsandbox]

great job, keep kicking ass

[Clerks0]

That was great, man!

[JuliaLunatica]

great cover!!! i wish someone in my school made something like that ;(

[HappilyWithMonotony]

I do find that reaction odd as well. I only know a handful of people who know about Neutral Milk hotel but hell, if they got excited...fuck it.

[Lastscionz]

Hey, is that a Jimi Hendrix jacket?

[sabergun]

man when I saw this tbh I was like, his voice is going to suck

the last highschool cover vid I saw was some dude screwing up the fall of troy

very impressed kudos man, very nice

[IsThatPickle]

Was this at a school or somthing?

[gizmatron121]

this fucking sucks .

[jmikeyj4]

@gizmatron121 you suck

[lkdsjflskdfj]

Excellent all around.

[pgriffs1]

VERY good job man!

[GregoryZero1234]

I wonder if any of the people there actually knew the song.

[wjeffa]

Two people I knew in the audience did, but afterwards a lot of people were interested in the original song. A lot of people at my school became fans of NMH afterwards.

[benciano]

@wjeffa No! Don't share neutral milk hotel. They did nothing wrong!

[IMadLarkin]

@wjeffa - Just stumbled across this. You did a great job, you seemed nervous as hell though! I hope you're more chilled out when you play now, it makes everything sound better when you're relaxed :)

[scottrick49]

awesome job

[eluck12]

yeah this is really great

[lighthouses16]

You got guts kid!

[iwantmymoneybackk]

True! that is a bold cover for a talent show and he didn't shame himself

[palmeiraguitar2010]

He is good!

[mommytonut]

Nice singing. Must of practiced a lot.

[RE1206]

Love it, man. You kicked ass, you didn't do the "voice" and you made it your own. Way to go.

[dudesons441]

You're good at singing.

[Baahlti]

Great video!

[KoelieEnDerrie]

Damn, that was great!

[Nickiswickedsick1234]

way mutha fuckin better than all those other gay ass covers of this song

[browcr]

just excellent.  I have to admit when I saw the pep rally setting, I wasn't expecting much but this is fantastic. well done!

[FlasHpt30]

great job mate

[bigmac364]

The crowd is annoyingly enthusiastic... i guess thats just how talent shows go.

Seriously though, great cover, one of the better ones i have seen.

[Darkfirelol1019]

@bigmac364 they can either be really nice, or nothing at all. If they're mean the principal or some shit gets on and is like THAT IS EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL HURDURHURDUR

[hackysacky56]

fucking awesome

[Iceoasis11]

Thank you for covering Neutral Milk Hotel PROPERLY! Kudos for awesome musical ability man

[element242]

I would be lying if I said that I thought you were going to be good but I watched anyways and I'm glad I did. Awesome cover. It's probably the best cover I've seen so far.  Keep Rocking.

[SpleenMeurtrier]

You fucking rock...great cover

[BlaculasSmellyFro]

I hope this kid got laid after this.

[Jutesoup]

@BlaculasSmellyFro nicely done..;)

[Herooftimex]

@BlaculasSmellyFro Amen

[chickenbeaver]

people need to more properly label their youtube videos

[wjeffa]

Is there something wrong with the way this is labelled?

[TwoThirdsPi]

He just means that it's a cover of the song, not a performance by Mangum himself :)

[Holland2226]

Maybe you could say that this is a cover in the title, but i don't know if in that case i would have watched your video, and it's so great!!

[imILLadvised]

@wjeffa he meant that the title doesnt mention that its not the original version

[Animus45]

@wjeffa I'd say you should throw "cover" somewhere in there.

Other than that, bravo, excellent rendition

[Fuseijitsu]

@wjeffa needs the word " cover " and a damn good one at that.

[johnmorisi8]

@wjeffa

Yeah, you need to add (Cover) at the end of it... or else it looks like this is supposed to be the real NMH.

[ice9willENDusall]

@wjeffa the fact that it doesn't say "cover" in the title, i think is what they were referring to

[PrestonDowMusic]

@wjeffa yes, it insinuates that neutral milk hotel is performing this

[sabergun]

@wjeffa (cover) :P

[sabergun]

@wjeffa (cover) :P

I really like your voice btw

[yootoob975]

your my hero

[der1100]

dude great job!

[twoheadedhelen]

wow, thats a quite impressing cover! not easy to sing but you made it! really nice

[danwom8]

i love this song so much, and your covering so well, that i'm gonna say it again. great job kid.

[danwom8]

great job man. this song is amazing and the album as a whole is even better. and my high school had not the slightest clue about good music. if you like NMH you'd love FUTUREBIRDS. those dudes are awesome.

[Flyingrc42]

nice cover man

and I'm impressed with your high school, there are people singing along with you!

[jaketimmons08]

That was a good cover.  What a great cd.

[zildjianbronze]

Excellent job, man.

PS, I don't think "icommunication" was trying to insult you; he was just saying that it's unusual for highschoolers to show any respect to anyone on stage (so more props to you).

[wjeffa]

Thanks. And you are probably right, but it was worded incorrectly if that's what he meant.

[icommunication]

holy shit, the crowds applause drowned him out!

i would've had my ass kicked in high school if a) i looked like that b)sang some relatively obscure song by some relatively obscure indie band.

[wjeffa]

post your picture

[MusicLopez123]

damn this kid did a great job, good job dude keep it up

[carlrs15]

1:45 Great contribution by the toolbag in the wife-beater...presumably selling lightly used Daewoo's in the sticks somewhere

[jaketimmons08]

I had to rewatch the video just see that douche. Thanks for the laugh.

[decky04123]

That kid isn't bad xD

[fras3r666]

nice mate

[DrOidwaker]

Good job dude thats awesome!

[wopman1010]

Rad song choice for a talent show! Gotta give you props for that... Good cover, also! Keep it up brother!

[sneakypower]

That's great...I got to say, I fed off of the energy of the people lovin' it in the room. Good job!

[MeGoobie]

Wow, well done!

[AntiConformistfilms]

dude, that's awesome! Hands down the best cover I've seen on youtube. keep playing!

[juicehill]

nailed it

[HAMTAROisdead]

and you have a great taste in music

[paintingtasters]

[pladsailboat331]

to be honest ur not that bad but i still mean it when i call u a nerd

[sneakypower]

You must have been absent from kindergarten on the day they taught, "If you don't have anything nice to say, shut the fuck up!"

[rvbsarge]

great job at singing dude, you did a great live performance

[kellyhollingworth]

this is wonderful

[magnification]

great cover

[jatcko5]

[PMantle]

[Emo8807]

[phaedrus692]

Great job! Couldn't tell the difference from the original :) Can't wait to hear/see your encore song.
