[theyoungns]

Wow that was great?

[latanea]

great job man... you feel the words and it shows.

[dlmd311]

great cover! makes me wish i had continued playing ukulele in the 4th grade. row row row your boat just didn't inspire me i guess.

[ihosvany]

dudes got a large cranium

[dlmd311]

what does that have to do with anything?

[EllEyeEssAye]

awesome! and thanks for the help..i am new to the uke and have been trying to learn this song. this helped me. ALOT.

[Wongtsunqui]

You never know me but ...i guess someone else

[jasonistics]

This is why I like to look up covers for my fav songs. Sometimes you find some real nuggets.

He almost goes into an Irish accent on the chorus. I want to hear someone do it with an Irish accent now. C'mon dude you can do it. That would be sweet!

[AlexIsAinmDom]

@jasonistics ill work on it

[ilovemutemath]

hipster alert.

just joking, good cover.

[cloned2]

[ilovemutemath]

i laughed.

[SomethingNewWithYou]

[rawchicken123]

i like people who can improvise a song to there own instruments and vocal ranges it shows a true musician

[shoutoutthewords]

[williamjaysmith]

great job dude. i feel like it's almost obvious colin meloy has a huge impact on your voice, like everyone below me has said. But theres nothing wrong with that - maybe you can take the vocal gift that was also given to him , and actually write good songs with it ...

I was wondering if you might have recorded the vocals separate from the ukulele?

[slipsour78]

Somebody fricken rocks and its you, awesome singing and dont mind those D-bags down there who are probably jealous that they cant sing as good as you

[kateobriencreative]

That was excellent. I liked your sensitive delivery. Ignore the haters.

[hastings01]

Good job man, sounds great. Ignore the trolls below, they're obviously just trying to get to you.

[SELECTtowatch]

I feel like the uke represents your ego and your mustache tells us that you probably don't have a girlfriend... And you should never sing again.

[generaltupac]

You are terrible man i would just stop singing all together u sound like you are about to cry when you sing, if you went on american/canadian idol u would get owned by the judges

[devious222]

sound like the dude from the decemberists.

[ShelbehDee]

I love singing along with you and harmonizing!

It's really fun.

[TheRedNoise]

Sorta sounds like the singer from the Decembrists! =] Check 'em out if you don't know them. I'm sure you could whip off a good song by them. Try Eli the Barrow Boy. (Just a suggestion.) Keep playing!

-TheRedNoise

[PrettyNormalWeirdo]

the song is played really well and sounds great on the uke. i like the ton of your voice but i hate that emo sounding style

[Picaresque19]

haha, what emo sounding style?

[PrettyNormalWeirdo]

um..your singing voice. i'm not sure if emo is the best way do describe it. it's like, fiona apple and regina spektor have a similar sound. and lilly allen and some other chicks have a similar sound.  well you have a similar sound to people too. a specific vein. and it's like that bright eyes/emo/i'm not sure cause i don't listen to that kind of music....

you are talented, for sure, i don't doubt that. i just prefer other styles of vocalization over yours.

[elkwithinstruments]

lol fuck off he's great

[iamcardboard]

Heehe, love this song, and you cover it so well! This video is exactly 1 year old today (Happy birthday video!).

[Casafranka]

xD hahahah nice

[icecuubesmmm]

nice mustache dumbass. i hope fleet foxes eats you for fucking breakfast

[whiskey4brkfast]

my boyfriend just added a uke to his arsenal and I can't wait to show this vid to him...(we also love fleet foxes) well done

[cloned2]

hahah im back ..i can still picture you on a mountain with a point hat and a goat sitting next to you

[eladhackim]

dude amazing!

very very good !!!!~

great song, the hole album is great, and u did it excelent...

thumbs up from Israel, keep up!

[MewoAndTheCrow]

aww :) this was great!

I love ukuleles! They can turn any song into something soft and pretty, ehe. Your voice is lovely too.

Do you have the uke tabs for this?

[SkatingWombat123]

0:57 HIS FACE lol priceless

[hhhodes]

holy smokes.

[AmphibiaFilms]

really great arrangement. good job, that's fucking sweet!

[SmarticusRex]

[groengaard]

2:20 - I lol'd

[shazaha]

*snort*

lol :)

[wolkjemetpootjes]

even though your voice is definitely not as good as the real deal (no offense, it's pretty hard to be as good or better...), i like this cover very much. you made my day start in a pleasant way.

[iloveprancingwithzac]

Your either a giant or you have a really small gutiar. Either way i hope you dont try to play it again. Either way shave the moustach.

[TheoAnderson3]

whats the tab you used and tuning. sounds sick

[feralchildren13]

I am absolutely in love with you.

[NaughtyPanda2]

thas a fuckin chat mo. nice singin

[bluefin4425]

This is absolutely beautiful! I really like the tone and color of your voice, especially through your upper register- It's like Ben Gibbard meets Colin Meloy. Keep it up!!!!!!

[IAmMrGareth]

it is lol

i love irish accents, wish i had one :(

[ElliottPurser]

"Honey, i Shrunk the guitar" :P

[IAmMrGareth]

when you sing the dear shadow alive and well bit, it sounded sorta irish lol

[Picaresque19]

Haha, I'll take that as a compliment!

[vgibson122389]

@IAmMrGareth HAHAHAHA I read this comment and went back and listened to it and cracked up.

[nbkw2ql]

adolf hitler's great grandson doing a colin meloy cover of fleet foxes's "tiger mountain peasant song."

[groteidioten]

dude, nbkw2ql, go get yourself a life. and an actual feel for humour.

[spacecommander12]

this is great but get the poo smear off your face asap

[StayCrazy]

LOL.

[shanifawni]

ha, nice!

[JenerallyxSpeaking]

i wore a shirt just like that today!

and i'm a girl. not sure what that says about me.

great choice of song & i love your voice, realllly.

[fishylemonade]

Oh my goodness! you like fleetfoxes! Hooray!!!

[eillomrose123]

you're just awesome

[jdynamite]

Great job, and a wonderful voice.

Loose the mustache and you'll be fighting off the dames! ;)

[Teit81]

Good cover, mate!

[mountainwhale]

sorry to bug you, but:

standard tuning with a capo on the second fret?

and also (again sorry!)

what chords are you playing?

i know that I could just try to figure it out myself, buuuut.

[Picaresque19]

Yep, capo on the second fret if I remember correctly. And about the chords, I don't have anything written down so I can't help you there. Sorry!

[Scarleysnan]

This is gorgeous. You have a lovely sensitive voice which suits this music. A really lovely interpretation.

[Picaresque19]

Thanks a lot!

[Picaresque19]

Glad I make you guys happy :)

[rainbowspitt]

I'm usually disappointed by covers, but I really like this one!

[elsalways]

best song! your good!

[rustandrepair]

that mini capo is the cutest thing i have ever seen.

[Picaresque19]

Haha, actually it's a regular sizes capo.. I guess it just looks small when it's the uke!

[rustandrepair]

ohh haha, i'm sorry! it looked really small. nice cover!

[feralchildren13]

it does look like a mini capo!

[heebiejjeebie]

That's great. Can you post the chords for it?

[cloned2]

ohh man i couldnt stop laughing ..nice job but you look like you should be playing on a peak of a mountain with a goat beside you

[sptfgpn]

This is a mean-spirited comment.

[milosc9]

no, they meant well

[rainbowspitt]

And by the way, I think it would be totally cool to play and sing on a mountaintop with a goat. Hah!

[cloned2]

lmfao haha thanks for reminding me of the goat..aww shit this vid cracks me up

[rainbowspitt]

So where exactly did you get this visualization from?

[ElegantDescents]

cloned2--actually ya ummm

[cloned2]

[pineska00]

Very nice!!!

[cxmansonx]

I'm a little bit in love with this video.

[AndreaJordan]

I love the mustache.

[sssnakessss]

You have a beautiful voice, and are incredibly talented. Please shave that horrible mustache.

[Picaresque19]

Quit bugging me about the moustache! :) Everybody here likes it, haha.. And thanks for your compliment!

[Cheesecakeisgood1]

[tsunokami]

[UnzipYerReligion]

you have an adorable accent.

[hanzecercheek]

Beautiful.

[mjimji1]

eleven stars!

[n8smokes]

very, very good cover.

[goodmorningdear]

I would loooooooooove your life forever if you gave me the ukulele chords to this. As of now my ukulele is sitting on it's haunches in the corner of my room, waiting until I learn this song to pounce on me!

[dddaaaannnnn]

really well done. love the ukelele sound on this song.

[jandazz]

Nice interpretation!

[greenteaandcigarette]

That's beautiful.

[AbstractNumbers]

I definitely agree - beautiful stuff there Picaresque19.

[rustyleroo]

Questionable moustache, but great cover! :)

[olsenjimmy]

LOL

[swedeboy11]

could not have said it better. 5 stars

[viruskid12]

soothing. :)

[Gianniv6400]

you sound a lot like the decemberists lead singer

[stereoagentr826]

so true, exactly like him.

[Picaresque19]

I take that as a compliment :)

[Mattboy2388]

I agree. YOu sound like colin Meloy. cool job on the song.

[iusedtobecool]

Yeah, kind of a mix between him and Ben Gibbard.

[mynameizmudd]

I love the uke, great job, cheers!

[thegnome23]

ah hey man GREAT job..and i tottaly dig the stash man your so badass! keep up the work man peace

[kankridop]

Hey,your cover is nice!

I'm totally obsessed by this band too. Album of the year.

[platoon018]

Good singining but personally, I would prefer this with an acoustic guitar. I find the introduction of this song's album version particularly beautiful.

[deejayhart]

Really superb - your voice is very reminiscent of the singer from Neutral Milk Hotel - like "King of Carrot Flowers"?

[Picaresque19]

Hehe thanks. Yes I like that band very much..

[vidguy007]

Wow, that was really good.

[LucidDream]

Great job! Fleet Foxes are my favorite right now too...I love this song.

[Picaresque19]

They are so incredible. It was a long time since I last was so in love with a band..

[LucidDream]

Music is about the only thing left that makes me feel wonderous...Especially this band. It takes me back centuries. I want to hear you do some "Mykonos" and "English House". If you have the time that is...once again great job.

[Picaresque19]

I think I'm gonna try to do Mykonos actually. Maybe I'll upload it here, if I'm satisfied ;)

[modernworld]

Very nice! Great song to cover and the uke is nice touch.

[Picaresque19]

Thanks! Yea, it really fits well with the uke!
