[audiothief]

this is my favourite version of this song..seriously. great job. beautiful.

[saintminus]

you give a sort of a stone sour/ tom petty tone to the song. great job man.

[VanessaBaby213]

how do you play this song?

[cannobbio]

thank you!

i really liked it.

kewl ending...

[brooklynluver]

Hey, its your little cousin. I thought that you were pretty good. You need to sing louder though, because youtube makes your voice sound a bit different.... anyways It was pretty good. I'd never be able to put myself on youtube. I'd be to scared. :P... anyways dont let others discourage you.

Byebye.. keep practicing. :):)

[brooklynluver]

That was really good, at least i thought it was! its really good that you can sing and play the guitar at the same time, id never be able to do that!!!! plus i dont eeven know how to play the guitar!!!!:P

-madisons bff

[gorramdoll]

I really like this; you did a good job interpreting the song with your own style, making it prettier and gentler than the original.

[baraka1408]

Not prettier than the original. Sorry but it's not.

[gorramdoll]

No, I mean pretty. Literally, pretty, like soft and immediately pleasing and not harsh-sounding.

Jeff Mangum is great but he doesn't ever sound pretty.

[baraka1408]

Well I think he does. And many would agree with me. And with that I'll stop arguing on this guy's page.

[gorramdoll]

He doesn't sound pretty. I think you think I mean something different when I use the word "pretty."

[sleepyat2am]

the gritty way mangum sings adds to the magic. :D

[gorramdoll]

I think his voice is really powerful, but covers of his songs by people with really soft/gentle tones are good in a different way. I dunno, just a different thing.

[ChocolateMojo]

No I agree this guy made this song prettier, its good. Jeff Mangum's original is ugly, intense, and terrifying; he sang it so that it wouldn't be easy to listen to. Mangum's original never fails to leave me shivering with tension rolling around in my stomach. It wasn't pretty, but it doesn't really need to be. He's telling the story of a boy that needed to be told. This guy's interpretation is not the same as Mangum's, but it is good.

[Markzuckerberg]

I really like this. I don't know if I ever said that. Every once in a while I'll come back and listen to it again and again over the past half year

[Sinatrixx]

What is the chords for dis!?

[Voicuk]

Am, G, Em

[Sinatrixx]

Thank you. : ]-

[JGSturgeonmaster]

Awesome. Sounds great man...thats the last NMH tune Mangum ever wrote...at least that we know of...what a tripped out tune. Great job!

[elrondio]

Hey, this is really beautiful! I sort of wish you'd elongate some of end bits more, but it's totally cool that you didn't! You do have a really really lovely voice.

[gohepcat]

It's actually tweaked better than the original recording by Jeff. He seemed to still be working on this when he stopped performing.

Great job man.

[baraka1408]

Weak. NOTHING... Not this guys... not even my covers of NMH can match even the most fuzzy and quiet recordings of Jeff Mangum. How dare you.

[gohepcat]

ok. calm down a bit. Jeff Mangum is my favorite artist in the eworld...but he's not god. You have to understand that it's people like you that made him quit.

[baraka1408]

lol... People like me that made him quit? Whatever douche.

[gohepcat]

I watched Jeff crumble under the weight of people thinking he was this infallable genius. He was a very odd and introverted guy. He never wanted to be thought of as "untouchable"

[gorramdoll]

That's not fair, this isn't meant to sound like Jeff Mangum.

[Anemicamour]

I'm thoroughly impressed. It's far too easy to WANT to cover nmh but at the same time FAR too easy to lack the intensity of jeff magnum.

[TheRenniemeister]

ye this and rubby bulbs are two of the weirder nmh songs, one of my favourites is engine, good cover though well done

[wegotmarriedinafever]

what a solid cover! keep it up man!

[arielxcore]

yess finally a good cover

[glassvasecelocase]

does anybody have the live at jittery joes bootleg? i've been looking everywhere!

[tullycraft]

I love your voice.

[thinker1717]

Whoah...nice cover! Good job!!!

[daclap]

pretty much the creepiest song ever, but good job not butchering a mangum song! that's pretty much unheard of on youtube.
