  • Sucks

  • Haunting and beautiful - love it. :)

  • 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

  • can u pls send me the chords ??

  • LOVE THIS! Thank you.

  • brilliant

  • perfect song and a nice cover, congratulations.

  • sounds good to me

  • Is the 'acoustic' part really necessary to define a Violent Femmes cover?

  • fantastic

  • REALY good!

    im trying to do a cover on this grate song to...but i doubt that it vill be eaven close to this good!

  • for one take, i think you guys did a good job, well done

  • Great cover!

  • 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.

  • I like it. & I am a big fan of the original.

  • i hate the new youtube

  • a great cover,

  • This song reminds me of nature. Rocks and dirt and such things. It sounds really good.

  • fair play to you - this is awesome

  • This is great. Period. Whoever has a problem with your performance here should go listen to Britney Spears and leave the good music to our ears!!

  • 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.................

  • Great voice. You should have your name on this!

  • in some ways i think is very different than the original in a cat powers meets alanis morissette way, still very good

  • 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.

  • negative*

  • I love your cover, well done.

  • ur voice is too weak for this song, sry

  • nice cover, though not as sad sounding as the original.

  • english is your mother lenguage mine's not so deal with it

  • 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

  • there are only about five people in this world who have the power to hurt my feelings. you aren't one of them. no harm no foul ;)

  • 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.

    Oh, and that cover was awesome. Srsly. ;)

  • this is just my opinion but this suck big time,violent femmes version is so much better

  • 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!

  • that was really really nice, your voice is Tori Amos-ey like,it....it makes my heart smile :D ---- see,it's smiling

  • this is an amazing cover that gives the original a run for its money. id love for it to be available to download so i could have it on my mp3 player!

  • i prefer your version of the song!lov it!!!

  • were can i see the reall version

  • Nice! Are you doing the harmonies yourself?

  • I love it!

  • 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.

  • Noooo... you made me notice ;) Now I hear it. But the cover is still awesome.

  • owesome,

    beatiful vioce,

    with new rhythm。

  • Really good backing vocald to :)

  • wow!

  • Interesting take on the song.  I like it!

  • You got a sweet voice :)
