[thespleenfarmer]

Excellent cover!

[GummY7bear]

[Colbyguitarkid]

It was good....but dude are you irish? I dont have a problem with that it just sounds liek it...

[HannahMay]

This is actually a really different slant on a recognisable song. I love it

[jokooplyr]

[unbewegt]

[Jameson10026]

[CookieVideos]

this is a very good cover. i like that the voices sound much different than the originals but still work very nicely. :]

[jax121467]

Holy shit, this is a GREAT cover! You both have adorable voices, but him...him I shall like to take home with me.

[Chubigans]

This was great guys :) I love your voice man

[domenicadisaster]

This is my FAVORITE song by the Decemberists, and you two did a great job.

You two should cover 9 Crimes by Damien Rice

I think you'd have fun with it

[seedtosser]

This is one of the reasons I love music! Fab. Great cover.

[meohan007]

AHHH! i absolutely adore this song, and you two were quite adorable together! beautiful voices, really... :)thanks

[FRMmega]

Paparara?

[soccerjonny]

What is your picking pattern, I need to know. You guys are great!

[whiteroses80]

i lovee his voice

[Magical3589]

fantastic!

[SpeakSoftlyStephen]

Thats was beautiful!

[olomone]

wonderful.

[Tcat003]

this is unique and entertaining. good job

[natedeleon]

this is the best cover of it so far. in my opinion.

[baraka1408]

Check mine out with my ex. Maybe it compares. I think my guitar and singing is smoother.

[PhrisDiamond]

cool. this was weird. but in a good way... im pretty sure i like it... yah. haha. i like the bops too. instead of the uh uh uhs. its the decemberists song but you guys did a good job on making it your own. gj

[alextcdmhs]

its a cover, its a great one in my opinion.

covers arent all the same, you shouldnt really expct them too, some of the best covers are almost completly different from the original.

[breathofwater]

Great job on this you two, I don't want to sound like an asshole like some of these people don't mind doing.. but I did feel the loud "bop, bop" did seem a bit harsh and out of place, though it didn't ruin the song or anything like that. I just always really appreciated the softness to those parts of the song. Great job all the same though, I'll be checking out the rest of your videos!

[mapsonburt]

I wouldn't change a thing... but then I've not been influenced by the original... I love it.

[edsulvan42]

i actually like it because it mathes the chopiness of the guitar. this version has a nice rhythm to it. where exactly are you two from?

[rugger120]

ahhh i like every part except the "bap bap bap", it takes away from the wistfulness of the song

[peeclvjewel]

OMG AMAZING, love the dudes voice and guitar and the girl is awesome!!! fun voices

[sporkstabs]

The... "Hah hah" resembles the breath of the wind.

The "Bap bap" Is ruining the purpose of the song... Sing it right please... =\

But good try without the 12 string. =\

[drfoxdrfox]

its a cover. it's not supposed to sound the same. reeelax.  the cover was amazing

[sillyhippies]

dont watch covers if you dont want to hear variations dumbass.

[antonioiam217]

I think Colin plays it on the recording with a 12-string, which would explain why the guitar part doesn't sound quite right.

[travestees]

Yeah he does. I also tend to play a few wrong notes too though which doesn't help!

[Milarah1]

Everyone elses comment seem so expreienced but all im gonna say is- that was so good!!! well done!!! :)

[xmassteps]

awesome cover, congrats (have to check engine driver :D )

[salambo31]

That is so perfect...

[heedlesslyme]

I really like your cover! I so awesome that you guys were really engaged in the song. Especially the guitarist. a very poignant voice and you know it. I hope you guys will do another decemberist cover. say the engine driver?

[travestees]

Hi Heedlesslyme. Thanks for that. If you click on our name thingy somewhere 'travestees' you'll find Engine driver and a couple others. Cheers Nick

[thebrooke]

Amazing once again. :)

[c3zar]

Excellent work. Is your strumming pattern for your verses: up, up, down up, down? By the way, your voices sound unreal together. Thanks for the video!

[travestees]

Cheers Bud, I think it's down up down down up down up but i probably do it differently every time.

[SirDanielMcLean]

Nice job, man :D Your voice is good, and so is the females. I don't think the 'bops' were all that bad, either. I was kinda freaked out when it went out of focus half way through, tho :P

Anyways, any chance I can get some tabs/chords?

Thanks!

[travestees]

Hi Sir Daniel, thanks for your kind comments. Hopefully this will help. I use capo on 1

Verses:

C Am C Am etc

Chorus:

A C A C G A C A F G F G etc

Bridge:

F G F E G (I did this bit wrong!)

Cheers Nick

[travestees]

I couldn't send the tabbed intro because youtube thought it was an email address or url. You can find it at ultimate guitar though pretty much similar to what I do.

[findpolarisxx]

valiant effort. guitar is perfect.

i have to admit though, the "bop"s sounded really inappropriate, too abrasive as opposed to the soft "huh"s in the actual song.

[travestees]

Yeah sorry bud, I think we found it easier to keep in tune or something. We'll discuss it. Cheers
