The drums are far too light. They should be hammered. Also if you cover a song - make it your own!!! A note perfect rendition is just karaoke. What's the matter with you people??
@bmarsh915 Good comeback. Really made me laugh. But I stand by my comment. I'm a fan of Explosions in the Sky, not X-Factor. The 'talent' is writing a song as beautiful as this, not mindlessly rehearsing it until you can play it note perfect. Save that sh*t for the circus. The best covers sound NOTHING like the original. What's the point otherwise?? I feel sad that I even have to explain this.....C'mon!
@befon i'm blessed and fortunate to have a very happy one thanks! It just excludes the need for over-faithful cover versions. It's just my opinion. Get over it. Watch away, I'll go listen to the original. No harm done.
@silentassassin2000 im gonna go ahead and call bullshit ;] the fact that you have to come on youtube and insult something a few friends did in a talent show for fun, then ramble about the "law of cover songs" as if there is such a thing, means youre a douchebag that can't keep his negative comments to himself. its an indicator of a lot of angst in your life, because you have to vent it on the internet. if you were just having a bad day, you wouldnt keep on for weeks like you have. you do you tho
@befon Really? Thanks for the 2-bit psychoanalysis. First off, my comments aren't personal and i had no intention of offending your friends. The last time I checked forums were for expressing an opinion not fawning over the content. My comments are only perceived as negative because you disagree with them. Other comments here agree with my assessment. I only keep coming back because the karaoke kids keep pulling me back.....can we move on? I have some happy stuff to post elsewhere :)
@silentassassin2000 i dont know these ppl bro.. i stumbled on this video just like everyone else. if some kids pulled this out at my highschool talent show, it would have impressed a lot of people. as popular as EITS is, most average people have never heard of them. these kids are just spreading the word, not trying to reinvent the song or become famous. do you see all the covers running down this page?.. why dont you go do them the service of pointing out their flaws in your awesome unique way
i thought this was uninspired and void of emotion. i'm not sure what you're all talking about. that being said, it's a high school band from two years ago so it seems like a moot point.
@justyoraveragejo what do u mean why? watch the video look at each of them playing, he/s really talented. The guy playing the red guitar is not quite as good
great job...wish the drummer would have went a little crazier though and started beating the shit out of the drums after the build up...but really great for a high school show
Wow that was absolutely incredible! I don't remember anyone having that much talent when I went to high school, and I don't remember us having a God damned hydraulic lifting stage floor either.
@ozzy182 the only thing i have to say is that the drums (if getting the hell beat out of them) would have probably overpowered the other instruments...just saying
Guys, this is outstanding. sounded unbelievably good, and that stage is perfect, you guys coming out of the depths of the earth with the beautiful melody, fantastic. I've got to learn to play this song... great Explosions song.

i know this song is pretty complicated to decipher but theres is alot more affects added to this song. Im surprised none of the guitarest try to add any.and omg i dont know who was it but damn tune that guitar.
you can tell the cameraman has never heard the song lol he dosent know whos gona play something next. great job btw! drums definitely need to be louder though!!
granted he was playing quietly, but the mic setup was horrible. The sound came from floor mics that picked up the amps better than the drums. Notice you can actually hear the drums at the end as the stage descends.
lol exactly what i was thinking. i think the percussion is essential for the parts where the song gets 'exciting'. without the drummers excitement/energy, the song is calm throughout the entire song.
ha, my school just eliminated my friends and i from the battle of the bands bcuz we played an original (i hate to use the term but...) postrock song. they said it lacked commercial appeal.
whatever.. if people had ears and not ADD with music they would see how beautiful this song is. one of my favorite songs ever. anyway, good job to the kids in the vid.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what kind of yuppy school do you guys go to with a rising stage? my high school couldn't even do the light show... with your development homes and nice instruments your parents got you
I'm not sure how I came across this video, but this is a beautiful song. After I heard a piano cover, I was expecting it to have some lyrics...I'm glad it didn't. :)
i think it's just the mics when this was recorded. they were pretty loud when we played it. also it was a school fund raiser with parents and teachers so we couldn't be that loud.
was this some kind of like Disney gig like you give them a million dollars and they put you on a stage that raises up cuz if it is thats fucking sweet lol cool cover very nice
