Julian Velard covers Bjork's "Hyperballad"

[MemoirAuthor]

EPIC. AMAZINGLY TOUCHING.

[NenneEffe]

This is such an amazing song, it takes guts to cover it. You did a great job! Congrats!

[TheLightningsloth]

Yeah he doesn't sing the original lyrics to a "T". And the bugal horn, or whatever it is, is unnecessary. But his take on this tripped out song is amazing. I freakin love it! It's his interpretation and he rocks it!

[avatarprimus]

this song sounds way better with you than the original, almost sublime!!! congrats

[Geekella]

beautiful

[FagnerChiclet]

Perfect!

[sherardtears]

A blast!

[doylieboy1]

i was really enjoying it until the trumpet guy made some kind of fart noise

[isac0014]

I am sorry, but this performance could have been done without the trumpet. That trumpeter sucks and I play the trumpet, so I should have some idea how he should sound.

[surthvireyri]

really makes me fight back the tears

[sonofLUC1FER]

BTW,best of luck to you. You def. deserve it!

[sonofLUC1FER]

AWESOME JOB DADDY! I love that a took the,"Hyper" outta,"Hyper-ballad" Your voice kicks as dude. Ya have anything else? Can I make one critism about he song? Bj0rk says,"to be safe up here w/ you"But, I like how theword again flows. Hey ya have to make it personal to you...right? Now that I think about it,ya prob. new that. There ar a such thin as lyric books-LOL! 'll be definitely watching out fo your work! I wish your stuff wold be an example of the,"MAINSTREAM" today. It's so refreshing !

[Bonstrum]

Bjork literally sucks...lol

[technologywontsaveus]

Wow! Really well done, Björk FTW of course, but he does it very well!

[sethhersch]

This is my absolute favorite non-Bjork version of this song...just incredible.

[esploratore88]

the best is paola x factor

[mgt802]

I love that he covers Bjork

[dpbarrios]

wow!!!!! dude, I have never heard of him before but I am now a big fan! my throat is all knotted and i'm fighting back the tears :\

[memoryhero]

Wow!

[jsugarcia]

Love this Cover Brother

[Maiesha95]

So Beautifully sung I luv bjork and i luv him singing that song

[pnnorton]

It's "before you wake up" not "before you me up" isn't it? It doesn't make much sense the other way as how can see be throwing things off a cliff while being asleep? I guese it could be metaphorical but I don't think so.

[yuukohime]

Wow!!! Me encantó su voz!!!

[stoob1969]

that trumpet was a bit off, maybe swap it for a tuba. Nice voice

[mccarronjr]

Very good

[clementthirion]

really nice! it's strange to hear björk's music transposed to that gentle and quiet mood... i think it shows that her melodies are quite strong and well done. to be honest i think it looses something into this transposition... her music is built so much around her voice... and her energy. to me the structure of the melody fits better the original mood and interpretation (the way the melody goes to high notes into an extatic crescendo...)

great voice, still!!

[miniioana]

Well dontcha feel that this song is a girl-story song? I mean it has HER emotions and HER i dont know... her SOUL...

[alrune8]

This is where you can notice just how talented Björk is. Even men can cover her songs and not sound ridiculous or gay and what's more, it's often very difficult to cover her songs with classical instruments due to the very nature of her voice and arrangements but talented musicians can still succeed.

[nalinia15]

Te quiero! muy sensible. Fantastico!

[nalinia15]

I like his cover. I like it really. It´s gentle, soulful and without hysterical. Sometimes like it this cover even more than original.

[leonia112]

sorry melancolic!

[leonia112]

Imho the best male cover of hyperballad.Maybe not so much passion like original but still beautiful and sweet melacncolc.

[buff25]

Fantastic cover. He got the words wrong though... Hmm.

[lenaorc]

The best cover of hyperballad on youtube.Thank you for uploading.I have this cover on my favoritelist.

[hopeforrain]

I agree. All the other covers suck (the one by the YYYs made me want to die), but this one is beautiful. I'm trying to figure out how to play it.

[nalinia1212]

I found another male cover of hyperballad on youtube from "glausterball". Beautiful, passional.Just awesome!

[nirvanatheband]

try jay mccarrol hyperballad

[litenogsot]

Wow, he's really hot. :)

Not sure if I like his voice, though.

[julie19091992]

It's better than the Original!!

Just the trompet sounds not so good...

[rockpapersuzi]

I'm pretty sure that's a flugelhorn. :)

it's a good cover, but I personally prefer the original.

[phialen]

the original has feelings and meaning behind the words and the euphoria of jumping and falling off a cliff and waking up from that dream.

[hopeforrain]

I want the sheet music for this version so bad. If anyone can tell me the chords or something, please do!

[reapersaftershave]

its a great cover even though he gets some of the lyrics wrong, but its still good

[Evanserch1991alkocer]

ya me volvi fan de este wey... escuchen A DREAM!... obra maestra... chico ve a mtv.!

[footballdemocracy]

oh wow. beautiful!

[cristined]

linda version =)

[lovestwinny]

beautiful

[hallerbakk]

this guy is pretty good, but hearing someone else sing it makes me realize how ridiculously talented Bjork is and how no one can compare.

[balford23]

No kidding... The original is one of the best compositions and performances I've ever heard. Bjork is absolutely amazing.

[Visman27]

You are very right man.

[mega99916]

Yeah, Bjork might as well sing the alphabet and it would sound great. Heck, she might just do that shouting she does and I'd be pleased.

[hopeforrain]

Well said. I pretty much just put Bjork on an entirely different level from any other artist. She's just... She just DESERVES to be put on a different level.

[ultrazealot]

OMG this is really really good

[trichloki]

Well, he's certainly no Tori Amos.

[Nicoz8]

where did you get the music sheet???

[Nicoz8]

very goooood!

[bahraintaxi]

This choked me up. I will watch this guy with interest, he deserves to be big.

[edaznam]

so soulful!

[pachau2]

[kaczorlb]

So much better than Wojewódzki ^^

[DLLFACE2005]
