Too Little Too Late (cover)- Daniel Rossen

[MSAZgreen]

fuck you jojo! it's never too late for me to express that opinion :)

[b0bbyKashmoney]

I wish there were a thousand songs like this one

[montephantom]

holy fuck. that is all i have to say.

[6Traceur]

oh... i thought ill see a skylit drive Too Little Too Late vocal cover : (

[alovelyanon]

this ain't that great IMO...:/

[Rai7ana007]

I think its a good cover, that doesn't mean the original is some shitty pop song,, f*ckin hipsters -_-

[tira87]

@Rai7ana007 I know right! this is awesome but -- I love JoJo -- and her version is awesome too -- especially when she hits that high note at the end!! And he probably wouldn't have covered it if he didn't like the original.

[thecocoapebbler]

how does he do it?

[TortureGenius]

@wakinglifeinc...lmao can't believe I actually went back and listened very close...-_-....lol....but other than that "fart" this is a great song..P.S. nice waves =)

[ocybin]

Ok somebody asked about chords for this.. I think i've somewhat deciphered it .. here they kinda are:

Altho.. A^m

come with.. E^m, Ef, A^m

Smthin no feel rite.. C^, Cdim, second time walk down to Gflat.

tell ya 1 more we.. Gf, A^minor x2, second time walk down to Aflat.

Because, its just.. C^, D^, F^, walk down to..

D^minor, A^ minor, Af.

C^, D^minor, to G^7..

Thats it I think, for a very simple version :)

[ocybin]

@ocybin Actually the chorus should be

Because, its just a little too late, etc -

C^ major, D^ minor, Gflat

D^ minor, B flat minor, A flat

G flat, D^ minor, to A flat major.

[jingleheimer0]

would love the tabs or chords if anyone has them

[DoorsAreSecured]

I thought there was no way in hell this was going to be the Jojo song. I was very mistaken, and very glad that I was. This is amazing.

[iloveronweasley09]

Its fabulous. Theres not much else to say :)

[KMcninj]

what the fuck? how is he soo awesome? it doesnt make any sense. he was like ..oh wait im a genios and then made a beautiful song that shat out this cover because everything he makes is also godly

[BloodyCatastrophee]

@KMcninj oh my god, it is. ALWAYS GODLY. That's a fact.

[sparticus66666]

@kristington Agreed.  Hilarious.

[freekycello]

I love this so much! And the animation was good too. (:

[foryouthenewoilove]

This was magnificent! Thanks for posting.

[msanonymouse23]

there are songs that you can't change for ones artistic sensibilities. and this is one of them.

[BurberryHighCreator]

Soooo good! I can't stop listening to it! Is there any place to download this or something? I need this song on my ipod!

[wakinglifeinc]

2:25-2:32 listen carefully and you can hear Mr. Rossen Fart

[Catch22ish]

why compare Usher and Daniel they're not eve the same genre

[1000sachenmuell]

i only know the live versions (they are a little faster, that suites them well), but this is terrific! beautiful animation. thank you very much!!!

[ocybin]

I love this!

[GrandpaWasaLion]

Daniel Rossen is a genius. Leave it to him to take poop and turn it into a warm yellow glowing golden love light.

[msf0708]

makes me wonder how many other terrible songs could be made great by people like him..

[itsamonster]

Strange that he decided to cover this and not start from scratch with a new song...

It's barely the same song at all (which, in my opinion, is a vast improvement, but I respect that this sort of music isn't for everyone)

Daniel Rossen = hero

[HenryNavarre]

@itsamonster Apparently, Ed Droste pestered him into covering it for his birthday, lol.

This song makes me smile. It's like a slap in the face to all the vacuous, derivative pop songs that permeate society.

[Pri03]

Don't ask me why, but I have so much respect for the fact that he / Dept. of Eagles covered this song. I love it. They're not too cool for anything.

[ThisIsSavannah]

Jojo's version so much better.

[samuelzparkerz]

@ThisIsSavannah how come?

[twilightswan4]

@ThisIsSavannah how do you even figure that?

[yeaidoubledip]

does anyone know where i can download this song? megaupload or something?

[boudzpower]

ok....it's just magic how daniel rossen can change a song wich it suck to a wonderfull song

[AlbertKhasky]

the jojo version is typical pop bullshit. although jojo can sing, the original version of this song is cookie cutter over-produced disposable music for young people. This version is far more artistic.

[AdmitItYourJealous]

Daniel Rossen must be quite a magician to transform this song.

[AlbertKhasky]

This version transforms a random pop song into something so much more....thank you for being brave enough to develop and share it with us. It is truly magical.

[ilovemutemath]

someone go tell them to re-release Yellow House with this song on it.

[roller237]

DAN fuckin ROSSEN! he made a miracle out of this song. whohoooooooooo!!! just the chase just the chase!!

[emilyfremontsmith]

this is so incredible. grizzly bear never fails to amaze me, honestly.

[withtheirmachines]

this is all daniel

[magbutville]

Ohh, Dan Rossen. Thank you. I love you.

[samiamscogin]

It's no wonder I love department of eagles and my favorite grizzly bear songs are the ones where daniel sings.

[vigintiduo]

@samiamscogin I'm with you on that one.

[twopoint0]

I wake up with this guy's music playing in my head sometimes, it can make things like my cat's throwup seem like some sort of flower. Then I finish waking up...

[ZuperDude]

mesmerizing voice

[Sweetniss0902]

I can't get myself to like it. I tried to. And please don't hate me for having an opinion....I'm not saying it's not good, I'm saying I'm the stereotypical version of a fan girl and prefer the pop version, so sue me?

[turbojetsgo]

thank you for turning a cheesy pop song into a lovely imaginative song with some real soul behind it. nicely done mr. rossen, you certainly have a way.

[1tortue]

Department of Eagles, Grizzly Bear....... Daniel Rossen is the driving force. Absolutely love all of them but when he sings and plays it always sends chills up my spine. Beauty of imagination.

[trevormoth]

It does seem that Rossen is the Broodthaers of this particular Department.

[thesnowfish7]

wow, that was fucking sick

[isamexijew]

arrrgggh i wanna find the chords to this version SO BADLY

[phishndchipz]

I know!

[kristiannnnnnnnnnnns]

I just need to work out what tuning the song is in. I just have to meet Dan so i can worship him then ask him how to play a few songs.

[isamexijew]

i just have to meet dan so i can drug him and have my way with him....

...what?

[kristiannnnnnnnnnnns]

hahaha only in my dreams

[jeffvin4]

@isamexijew NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOO HHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMO­OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Chanj92]

where can i buy this?!

[ehfuckit]

never heard the original but this is pretty brilliant in itself

[ehfuckit]

holy shit just heard the original wow daniel you sir are a genius

[slamthewall]

this is soo much better

[overlord2489]

jojo is sooo much better

[Eavy4]

THIS IS BRILIANT!!!!!

and I realy liked this song when I was like 4th grade... the melody is good anyways, but they added all this realy complicated chords.

[TwilightFreak101981]

I didnt say anything was good about it. I just said she's better.

[TwilightFreak101981]

no offence but this isnt that great like everyone is saying ,jojo is better

[teeohdoubled]

no offence but you are wrong

[TwilightFreak101981]

No offence but i dont care.

[blue0cult]

exactly what is so good about a preteen girl using autotune to sing a song she didn't write?

not that i care about the opinion of anyone who enjoys twilight i just want to understand jojos fan base

[WaffleSDiarY]

first of all, twilight you are extremely clever. and second of all, jojo's version of this song is not done with auto-tune. her version is just a pop song. what's there to understand about it? they are completely different songs. this one is amazing and complex. the other is simple and light. they're great in their own ways. (but this one probably takes the cake for me)

[wakinglifeinc]

where the f can i download this

[kristiannnnnnnnnnnns]

Jesus this is amazing

[TryTfgm]

grizzly bear kicks ass.. this is way better than jojos

[42darklord]

this is the best thing ever

[isthatyouonthebus]

this version actually sounds awesome and way different to jojos

:)

[zultanaX]

he made it a song .... congrats!

[Flickerfly]

He's amazing!!

[hejjegermegasej]

I can't believe how he made a bad song so beautiful.

[sfarock1]

:D x

[thenewpyramids]

I'm pretty sure this is a joke... It sounds amazing! But yeah I think that could be the joke..? Making some shit pop song into a rad Grizzly Bear song..? yep.

[12345l6789]

it was made for Ed's birthday

[FranciscoUrteaga]

Just went to HellRaiSeRvideos channel, to check out what kind of music he listens to, I must say the kid is an intellectual, it requires a grate seance of appreciation towards music to appreciate such masterpieces as the phenomenon Britney Spears or the pure geniuses of Pussy Cat Dolls.

So he is right about the instrumentation and the fierce feeling of such music.

It's not like Bob Dylan, or Johnny Cash this girls actually put feeling, and their primary goal is not selling music, unlike Daniel.

[GreenwoodController]

everyone has different music taste.

what if he likes britney spears? it's not a crime.....yet. hahahaha

[HellRaiSeRvideos]

hahhahha ... that made me lol .

[anndeesavage]

I fucking hate JoJo, and all of that shit. What I hate more is elitist douchebags like yourself. Dan Rossen is a genius. He surely saw something in this song with which he could do something. He also surely knows how to spell 'sense' and 'great'. Go fuck yourself.

[stevenv27]

Ed likes this music(as a secret pleasure I suppose) and persuaded Dan to make this cover.

[gamelanplan]

I heard this by accident. However, I must say I'm quite impressed what Grizzly Bear did with this song. They totally made it their own!

I had the wrong idea that they would do a straight cover.

[aphib8698]

I can't even explain how awesome this is...Daniel Rossen just said "playa"! Too sick.

[TANSD]

JoJo's was better.

[kingseb101]

i dont know what to say..this is amazing but personally i think both versions are great..plz dont slate me its my f.ing opinion.

[gentlemendestroy]

Oh my goodness, someone mentioned this song and I expected it to be terrible. ( After all, it IS a cover of a JoJo song. :/ )

But damn, I'm pleasantly surprised. It sounds haunting but beautiful.

[milibabyblue24]

i like da original better...

i don't like this...it's sounds horrible !

[bahyouknow]

whatever. you have no taste, so your opinion does not count. this version is way better than the original.

[HellRaiSeRvideos]

LMAO ... shut up you ignorant fucktard ! Jojo's version is the shit ... this is crap ... they massacred the song ... grizzly fuckin bear crap

[0hthatgirl]

the only reason why I will not delete this comment is for the world to see what an idiot you are. honestly, poor you.

grizzly bear owns. and jojo's version sucks. enough said. if you answer, your comments will be deleted, so don't bother.

[KadajusFunToy]

Just because someone has their own opinion, doesn't mean you should shoot them down.

Personally, I think it's beautiful.

I'm not saying her version is worse, it just differs upon that persons taste of music.

Some of us prefer this to Jojo's pop.

If you can't deal with that, you shouldn't be here.

[minifox13]

Yeah honestly, its a little ignorant on both sides behalf, considering most jojo fans aren't grizzly bear fans, i wouldn't imagine this cover would sit well with jojo's fanbase.

[loyda]

who cares about jojo's fanbase? hahahahaha

just kidding, of course.

[wargrave232]

Grow up and stop listening to 10 year old-bubblegum pop. Idiot. Dan's version actually has soul and sounds great.

[HellRaiSeRvideos]

bubblegum pop is not just for 10-year-olds ... lots of grown ups listen to this kind of music ... it's much more instrumental and has a fierce feel to it, and btw this version sounds like lullaby ... it's a song for babies .

[wargrave232]

I've never met anyone over 15 who listen to bubblegum pop. More instrumental? You're kidding right? It doesn't even have instruments. People usually stop listening to shitty music when they grow up. Read a music magazine or something (not "teen girlz pop magazine").

[HellRaiSeRvideos]

what do you care anyway ? people should be listening to whatever music they like regardless of what stereotypes people make their audience out to be , I happen to love lots of music styles ...  but I wanted to state my opinion about this cover and I reckon Jojo's version shits on this one ...

[FFBvideos]

You're unintelligent.

[narrowarrows]

this is absolutely incredible

[withtheirmachines]

Oh my fucking god Daniel.

That intro is too heartbreaking.

So amazing.

[lovetangible]

excellent!

[SenaDaVinci]

the song. the video isn't that bad, so both!

[SenaDaVinci]

i saw this on their website blog and i'm glad you put it up. thanks!

[0hthatgirl]

the song or the video?

[wargrave232]

This is awesome! Daniel took a shitty song and turned it into a masterpiece. He also changed the chords for the better.

[droELIZA]

rad!jojo knows what she's talking about.

[waywardwatchdog1]

I loathe the original song but this is amazing.

[bahyouknow]

i feel the same way, they just transformed it into an amazing song.

insanee

[Catch22ish]

@bahyouknow it's the least they could do

[FreedomIsAJoke]

can i get this mp3 too?

[bahyouknow]

send me your email adress in a private message here and ill forward it to you from my gmail account, alright??

[FreedomIsAJoke]

My sis told me about this and i could not believe it, its amazing, wish they'd play it live.

[PantyBunch]

In LA I yelled and asked them to play it....they laughed at me. And said NO

[FreedomIsAJoke]

Awh... Thats disappointing.

[bahyouknow]

if you send me your email adress to my inbox, i can forward you the song from my gmail account.

aww it really sucks that they didn't play it :(

[slickchick5188]

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this??!!!

[0hthatgirl]

this is bahyouknow, i'm using my other account. check your inbox.

for anyone else that'd be interested in getting the song message either me or "bahyouknow" with your email adress and I'll forward it to you.

[bahyouknow]

send me your email adress in a personal message and ill forward it to you from my gmail account.

[amipat870]

I love, love, love this version.. thanks for making the video, I can't find a song download anywhere.

[sevenswans15]

He saved this song, props Rossen!

I love DOE and GB so much. :D

[baloothebear808]

ew. what the hell happened to the beautiful song JoJo sang? it turned to this shitpiece...

[bahyouknow]

hahaa coming from someone who has an usher song in their favourites, and is a 15 year old American teenager, that is quite a compliment :D

[milibabyblue24]

if he/she has usher songs in their favourites....so what?

usher has an amaizing voice....don't compare usher to this,man!

[bahyouknow]

yeah i shouldn't compare usher's crappy music to this, obviously grizzly bear and daniel rossen deserve much more respect. and i'm not a man.

[sevenswans15]

Haha more like, Daniel saved the shitpiece that JoJo sang and turned it into a masterpiece.

:D

[iamrichlol]

wrong, Jojo is an awesome singer

[bahyouknow]

i never said that Jojo was a bad singer. but this version of the song is way better.

Jojo sings manufactured pop crap. Dan Rossen and Grizzly Bear are musicians.

[stupidstupidpeople]

shit, i don't even know what to say to you right now.....

[AEGuerra00]

very nice.

[urgencyy]

FUCK YEAAAAHHH BOYS

[urgencyy]

oh how i love this

[Sevouligg]

Ridiculously amazing and beautiful! <3

[cheesieguy]

I think Grizzly bear did it firstly SO well, and secondly on purpose! Such strong worded lyrics for a girl who was 15 when this song/album was released. Brilliant cover, brilliant idea!

[chicaporfavor]

the song sounds so different this way, much more emotional. great, great job daniel! i can't stop listening.

[ODgangsters]

Its daniel fucken around...genious.

[tbsdrummer87]

im sorry but what did you do to this song? mellowed it down into some kind of indie and radiant tune

[bahyouknow]

i didn't mellow it down or do anything to it, aside of posting it. unless you're referring to the visual part, but that took me 6 minutes and a half to do while i was very bored and killing time. it's just a cover that i love and wanted to share with people.

im not quite sure if you're comment is a negative thing, because I dont see anything wrong with a tune being indie or radiant. hah

anyhow you're entitled to your opinion :D

[tbsdrummer87]

haha no not negative it just seems to be transformed into a diffrent sound

[kbyourself]

that's the point, I think

[bahyouknow]

an amazing cover. one of my favourites. hahaa i really don't find it scary at all (the song). as for the animation/drawn part i agree that it is definitely bad and scary :DD

I was really bored you see :)

[LenneTidus23]

O_O.... scary

[venezuelan1]

what a cover
