Genial. Buen cover de un excelente compositor. Así a secas, más allá de lo que padezca D. Johnston es un gran compositor.

[purakane]

Dude your awesome.

this video helped me so much with my timing.

great voice too!

[magiaverde]

Just loved it! I really like this song. Through looking for it I started checking on your videos. Really nice. I got some covers too maybe you can check them out and tell me what you think.

[Raytard1]

great man!

[forgettingheath]

Any tips you could give on playing it? Cords, anything?

[ifu06572]

my tips on playing are to find you favourite songs and try to play them. Learn chords in the first position (campfire chords) then branch out by using simplke techniques like the CAGED method (google it) happy stumming.

[digicult449]

nice job dude!

[cklaplante]

I'm blown away.! Really Really good stuff. I'm going to see D. Johnston Sept 3rd here in Portland. You have the chords for this song? I've tried looking them up on google but they're not as good as what you're playing. thnx, Patrick

Gracias, feliz ano!

[kelefeh]

the more i youtube it, the more i think daniel johnston covers are really good, official ones or no, they're really good. like this one. great one!

[mynamesche]

Thank you =] For sure, I think Daniels strength was in his song writing, which makes them ripe for covering by other artists...in fact the first Daniel Johnston song I ever heard was a cover years ago!

[oakman47]

I like it.

[mynamesche]

Thank you =]

[strangegirl440]

Great voice! awesome cover!

[mynamesche]

Hey, thanks so much =]

[hamikaloum]

is it your bathroom ?? :D

anyway , Great Job ;)...

[mynamesche]

Yup, it's the bathroom =]

[O1O1O1O1O1O]

Great cover man great song to be covering you did it justice

[mynamesche]

Thanks man, I appreciate it =]

[IrishmanMan]

hey what are the chords to this song?

[mynamesche]

Plant the capo wherever you feel comfortable singing then it's D,A,Em,G,A,Em,A,Em,A for the verse. Chorus just alternate between G and D and then hit the Em at the end of the chorus!

[astralbluefish]

love your cover....

[mynamesche]

Thank you very much =D

[Alexamanoo]

I love this song - and this is great =) Well done. If you see a band looking for a singer, I'd recommend you try out ;)

[mynamesche]

Thanks so much =]

[judasiscarebariot]

wow.

this is a great cover. the bathroom has the best acoustics.

[mynamesche]

Thanks =D Yeah, they're nice for a bit of free reverb!

[nuvius]

amazing cover, i know people might hate me for it, but i must say this is im my opinion much better than the original.

[mynamesche]

Ah, thats a really nice thing to say...thanks man!

[Spitfireseven]

Do you have a head? Face?

[mynamesche]

I had confidence issues, this was one of my first uploads. My heads on the new uploads.

[Spitfireseven]

Dude, there ain't nothin wrong with you. People like what you do. Thier asking for a CD!!!! That's cool. Redo this and stick your head in there. Get a cool shirt. You'll be fine.

[las798]

I love Daniel's stuff. Good cover, the only thing I can say is that unfortunately the acoustics in that room are not great. Also: why do all the covers only say "This is life" once (whereas Daniel says, 'Well, this is life. This is life.')?

[O1O1O1O1O1O]

hey man you sound really good keep it up great song too

[chinolofus]

when are you gonna put out a cd?

[mynamesche]

I'm writing stuff at the moment, so i'll post it up shortly after xmas =]

[fiffer83]

pretty solid dude.

[mynamesche]

Thanks man!

[HelloHelicopter]

thats an awesome cover d00d, good job

[codenamehiddenmeadow]

no piano, no good

[albertcamus1982]

Mate, that is an absolutely belting cover! Nice one.

[mynamesche]

Thanks very much!

[bluedeviltide]

incredible cover, great job man.

[heathsok]

why does everyone keep changing the chords from the original? even DJ plays these chords now and they are no where as good as the original recording.

[Mindaslight]

great!!!

[eeeskimo]

Gave me chills

Such a good cover

[chinolofus]

gives me chills everytime i hear it too.

[mynamesche]

Thanks again, really glad you enjoy it.

[chinolofus]

that was great. i love the original but you brought something new to the song. kick ass job man.

[mynamesche]

Thank you, yeah the original basement version on the piano is quite haunting, straight from his heart.

[chinolofus]

you need to record a cd. ive listened to this many times since i found it the other day. keep that bathroom echo too.

[chinolofus]

oh yeah and your welcome...forgot to add that.

[loveyouintheface]

You're awesome. Wow.
