hey i really like that you didn't just duplicate the song. you gave it your own sound. its awesome. love the original but im not a fan of the lead singer of the femmes. aquired taste but theyre very good songwriters
this song always seemed like he was actually talking to a drug, the lady was a representation, you've made more of a ballad as opposed to a Mr bojangles thing, but well done in your own way.
Just want to take a moment to thank everyone for the views and the comments (good and bad). Recorded on a whim, on one take, with an old fashioned version of Cool Edit recording software, the inclusion of background noise and my own Appalachian interpretation I never imagined this video would get so much attention. So for the kudos, the nasty bashes, the retaliations in my defense and your attention in general, I thank you and encourage you to buy any album by the Violent Femmes. Cheers ! :)
lol thanks for the feedback good or bad nikokorolis i like it all but feel the need to defend fellow cover artists by reminding you that cover songs are merely versions of original recordings and open to interrpretation by the artist covering the tune. the altered vocal and guitar melody was intentional so i ..umm...did stick to playing folk music *grin*
It sounds good, maybe if you had the balls or talent to upload anything I would respect your oppinion. Its easy to go around bashing people when you have no vids on here, upload something so I can see how much better you do it ?, And don't say thats its just your oppinion blah blah, because its not a bad cover at all, so your clearly either someone who bashes everything on here, or just a cunt. I've made my mind up.................
I've been listening to music on youtube for ages now, but this is the first song which made me feel I needed to create an account. The couple of negatives comments obviously don't know a good voice when they hear one, this is an amazing cover.
sorry if I hurt your feelings,but you need to learn to deal with critic if you want to proceed with playing music and music "career",it can't always be good critics sometimes will be good sometimes bad and that's just the way it is
This is one of the funnier things I've seen in a while. The grammar, the blatant disregard for sarcasm, and the stereotypical ignorance of youth today, all wrapped up in to one comment. Thank you, spidermanhiman for making my day, and thusly my week, a little brighter.
Of course the violent femmes version is better, THEY WROTE IT! But does that mean no one else can express themself by playing it. Music is to be shared and enjoyed by all. This DOES not suck. Do you have any music up? I mean that YOU play.
Yes well opinions are like assholes. You should know a little bit about assholes,being you are one. As Scumgod said Do you play music or are you just an armchair critic. Actually I like how she changed it up!
Sucks

Why haven't you made more vids?
What's that odd bass sound that almost doesn't really fit the arrangment?
Either your pick keeps clicking the guitar or it's a ring on your finger.
Very pretty treatment.
