I think this is really well done. Your voice is really good, but a little low for this song in my opinion. I think if you were to project more it would sound really great. Very well done.
this is absolutley captivating. I cannot THANK YOU enough for not butchering their wonderful music. I'd love to hear you cover The wanting comes in waves. really great job!
:) thanks! I think I tried playing The Wanting Comes in Waves, but it didn't really work well with just the guitar (at least I didn't think so) and it's very time consuming to actually layer things to make it sound good and edit the video so it looks cool as well. :-P maybe one day when I can focus all my attention on it as opposed to classes.
you sound great! other singers like me would probably love to have you make videos of just the guitar part for these songs so we can sing to it! just a suggestion. Other than that, great job!
You've got a very nice sound there, it's very interesting to hear these songs, especially Bower Scene, played acoustic. Great job on the guitar, and your voice isn't bad either ;)
BUT....my only complaint is that on your other posting of Wont Want For Love, I could see your hands and the chords you are playing. some of us folks are still learning guitar. seeing you nail this stuff so well is inspiring!
I guess I just need to make sure that the height of my chair is good for the high of my desk and allows a view of the fretboard. :-P I didn't even notice that my hands weren't visible. I'm glad that you thought my vid was good though. :-D
Fantastic job! Really well done. The Decemberists need some more fans, they are pretty big here in the UK but ive not met an American yet who likes them when ive been back packing, which is odd them being a US group. I love English folk music so much i have grown a beard, wear a strange sweater and drink only cider from a tin mug.
Really? What Americans have you been talking to? I think they're pretty popular. Most people know about them, some people think they're overrated, but I think a lot of people really love them. With your love for english folk music, what do you think of Colin Meloy sings Shirley Collins?
Oh yeah wonderful. Of course i cant say i prefered his performances to the great Shirleys but I genuinelly love his voice, i managed to get the tracks digitally off a mate as i have never seen the CD here. He did an album of Morrisey covers as well apparently which i havent heard, though i have never been a huge fan of his personally despite his massive popularity (With Mexicans when i was in California oddly!)
Anyway, i really enjoyed watching you perform. 5 stars from this Englishman.
I really like Meloy's take on Morrissey. I like Morrissey's stuff in general, but it was really cool to hear how different it could sound. It really sounds pretty different when Colin does it.
haha have - nice I wanna meet you! Well for one this is an awesome cover well done you im struggling to learn this! Secondly Decemberists are prob my fav band an an american showed them too me lol. I went to their concert in San Deigo and everyone was going mental.. Amazing!
that was just swell!!! I have the right mind to post this on their facebook fanpage so they can see this wonderful rendition of it. It really seems like you can put yourself in the story as you sing it MAD PROPS
Wow, ther are still people out there with talent AND intelligence!
