This just shows how good of songwriters The Flaming Lips are. This version really brings out the skeleton and backbone of the song and the melody is really nice and Sam puts his own acoustic guitar genius towards the song.
I did an iron and wine cover, if anyone has nothing better to do it's on my channel and you might just want to go check it out.. I make no promises though.
He put his own spin on it, which is what a cover should be. Not a carbon copy of the original. This is coming from someone who used to hate Iron & Wine. This made me like him.
@1989Tarpon Hey! :) I think that we shouldn't really go there, try to figure out songs. I mean, the songwriter probably had something in mind while writing it, but that is irrelevant, at least to me. I think that all that matters is what the song represents to YOU. That's what art is about. That's how music is a way of communication :)
why does it seem like the most talented people in the world seemed to be completly unknown compared to others like rihanna or sth... i just don't get it...
@JerkyRonson so because I felt (albiet it is completely unreadable) someone looked like a recently passes away person I need my ass beat? Why are you here? This is a wussies page, you're a tough as nails sob...are you lost?
Apparently this is incredible song was too much for three people and caused their eardrums to rupture, and now they are grief strickened that they will never hear this song again.
@jazzdischargeparty Get out of here if you're just going to hate on a great singer, please. The people who are listening to or commenting on this song most likely enjoy it, considering all of the positive insight going into them. Therefore, you ought to just back off, because there are more of us than you, and you will have more rude comments coming towards you in the future. ~H
Out of the four versions (The original by the Flaming Lips, this one, Fightstar's and Chris Martin's cover) of this song I've heard I think this is the best one.
I was never so satisfied to have no gun in my house
