Here's some constructive criticism...your annunciation seems a little over-dramatized and maybe a little artifical. You are clearly a good player/singer...I think your singing would sound more natural if you relaxed your vocal chords and diaphragm a bit. I like you as an artist a lot.
@SROD12321 Absolutely what I thought. When I first read "Angeles" I thought "yay", because it's one of my Elliott favourites. And I went on yay-ing when Dave started playing. But I don't like the singing that much, because it sounds a little over the top. But that's a thing Dave can work on, if he wants to.
One of my favorite Elliott Smith songs (Close to Between The Bars and The White Lady Loves You More). Greaattt cover. I looked at the tab for this and just got really scared because it looked to...complicated.
But this is wonderful :) You have such great taste in music.
Wow....great job! :) Can play a guitar, sing, and hot? If you're determined enough, I'm sure you could really make it in the music industry! :) Good luck...and incredible cover.
this song suits your voice nicely. your voice is hard to describe buts its nice, different. oh and i figure u already know this but still just thought i would mention that you are hot
That was wonderful! I love Elliott Smith!!! I'm really glad you covered one of his songs. Angeles is such a lovely song. Elliott Smith was an amazing songwriter and musician. I hate that he's gone.
Wow. It takes a brave soul just to attempt an Elliott Smith cover, but to succeed is even rarer (see: Bayside). I am most impressed. Moreso than this comment conveys :)
Dave you're so immensely talented...You better get famous and prosperous and do many many cd's or I shall in fact begin punching babies...BTW uh.. Stunningly attractive enough? GEEZ!
It's a goofy phrase I am not sure who coined it, but my friend used to say it and I think it's funny :-) no babies will actually be punched,although some may in fact be glared at....
Made me cry...something to do with me being entirely tired and still upset about David Tennant. But whatever, it still brought me to the brink of tears.
I thought you were about to butcher an ES song, but hearing your beautiful voice along with the fast tempo changed my mind. I rarely say this so take it kindly, you made an excellent cover of Angeles. Can't wait for more new songs!
About your new description: I honestly could never get into Elliot Smith, but I LOVE your music. (Not that I think he's bad, I just could never get into it enough to the point of liking it. Maybe if I listen to him now, I'll like him. Sometimes it takes me a while and a few listens to really like a band.)
Haha, your description is awesome. I hate when I'm playing and can't remember the words. I usually just do a little "blah blah" until I get to a part where I remember.
I'm glad you forgot the words and did this, though. I'm not glad that I don't live in the UK to see you though.
very good
