Helplessly hoping

[kenwinstoncaine]

Love the video, but the audio is too hot. It distorts and loses the beauty of the recording. Would be really nice if you could redo that sometime so that the music is as nice as the video.

[lostinthehazeoftime]

Wow...good cover that i haven't heard yet and video to go with.

[Trudence04]

Good video... I LOVE THIS SONG!!! it's like the only "good version"

[renemill]

I love this song

[jch002]

Nice. I don't usually care for covers, especially for classics, and a difficult one at that, but they managed to pull it off.

[TaraLynnSharrock]

I love Taxiride. This is a beautiful video. :) Thanks for sharing. Kingdom Hearts for the win!

[skepticlaire]

I love this cover, imo outdid CSN

[jeskehendriks]

the harmony is nice, but I don't like the instruments used... They should have kept to the original guitar-party x3

[maddbutcher666]

ruined a great song

[oldwhtman]

That was at least as good as the orginal.  I must find more of TaxiRide.

[howsatbitch]

this band does do a very good job at this song...

[Jillypsychobilly]

Who sings this version of this song? It's amazing!

[azdv]

It's by the Australian band Taxiride from their album Imaginate.

[SAOG2009]

@azdv

I own that CD and it is NOT on it.....So the thing is, WHO is singing this version of Helplessy Hoping by CSNY...???

[azdv]

@SAOG2009 It is by them but you don't have an Australia/European or Taiwanese release it would seem.

Check the wiki article for Imaginate.

Whats the strange drum sound used? like a bouncing sound

[InvertedJabberwocky]

I think it might be a bongo or conga drum. (or possibly a djembe)

[sandprof]

its very good but does not need the beat and could be slower - but a very hard set of vox to do that and they nailed it vey well

[azdv]

It's an Indian drum since Jason Singh, one of the members of Taxiride is half Indian and uses Indian instruments in some songs.

[tpackwood565]

Do the vocals on this song, have a strange effect on them? i working on a cover this and wonder if any one could help me. What effects are on the taxiride vocals that make them so like that?

[InvertedJabberwocky]

To my knowledge, there aren't any effects on the vocals. Sorry I can't be of more help.

[NickBlackDIN]

just good harmony (they might have done multiple takes to get a nice layerd effect) some compression, and a fair amount of reverb. just going by ear alone.

[EliezerGanz]

@tpackwood565 It's all very much pitched (using autotune software). Sounds great though!

[slowgold20]

@tpackwood565 theres def a chorus effect, and it sounds EQd

[slowgold20]

@tpackwood565 theres def a chorus effect, and it sounds EQd sorry if Im 2 years late

[CaseyScottCoen]

I have to idea why, but, this song makes me all sad in the heart area. :''[

[AgeTurnipseed]

A really well done fan video!

[ewoodccrunner]

[Hansa94]
