Ben Folds Five - Mess (cover by Ben-Ezra Sound Project)

[sacredjune]

Awesome!!

Guitar riff reminds me of Long Train Runnin by The Doobie Brothers. ha!

[CincinnatiSkater]

this is my fav song by ben folds, and you made it sound so good

[Pman916]

Bravo my man.... That song has forever been one of my favorites. Yours was a refreashing take on it. U Nailed It! Thanks



[l33tpwnzord]

God what a catchy song

[Adfumbler]

Holy %#@$!!! This is hands down the best Ben Folds cover on You Tube!

Damn, you nailed this one!!!

[NJcable]

Wow great cover and vid - keep it up!

[emmabugsmama]

WOW! SHIT,YEA!

[sjderge]

Beautiful cover! Ben Folds is hard to cover, and you did this magnificently

[BrownThrasher]

Really nice job. I would only say to go easy on the pitch correction. It sounds like you used it pretty heavily and it takes away from your natural talent. It makes it a bit robotic!

[thehandoftheking]

Whooo!

[chatoyant23]

hey bro. love the camera work. when you pop up in the top right corner, it's rocks my world..

[celaycock]

This is a great version of one of my favourite songs. Excellent idea substituting the piano for the guitar - it sounds great. You've definitely done the song justice! :)

[PrestoGundersonMusic]

very cool dude, love this song.

[Mike1967b]

Wow man... GREAT job! This is my favorite BF song and I think I like your version as much as the original. Wow!

[jennyp444]

You are so hot

[supercreativo29]

Very, very good!!!!

[crush40fan101]

Nice job!! haha my name is Ezra!!

[12127133]

sympathetically executed, well done, excellent job.

[timdatoolman83]

Nice work bro. Most people butcher Ben Folds' songs but you've added another dynamic to this song which is cool. =) All the best with your musical talents. God bless, Tim

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks a lot, man. I find that Ben Folds has pretty much an identical vocal range to mine, so I find his stuff pretty easy to sing. It's definitely a fun challenge coming up with ways to translate hispiano-based stuff to guitar.

[TheLowLifeGang]

great bro

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks!

[guitarfreak289]

This is excellent man...your take on it works very well! Awesome job!

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks a lot! It translated well to guitar for sure, I had a good feeling about it from the start.

[theporrohman]

Very good indeed, very well laid and out performed. I'll be watching this again.

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

[sevackwolfpack]

ouchh!!! hurts my fingers just watching...just great !

I'm really glad you've checked my stuff out! I think 'Virgo' would probably be more your style, though the other instrumentals (Number Three and Sonny's Song) are probably also your type of thing. I've heard your mp3s, my favourite was 'Rick's Song' - I really liked the mandolin! I had no idea you could play it so well.

[oktotx]

Awesome! Could you give me the guitar tab? This would be an awesome cover song to bust out in a set!

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks :). I don't ever work with tabs, but I'll see if I can jot down how I did this sometime.

[goodjorb]

awesome

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you liked it :)

[guimo777]

Yeah!! Great arrangement.

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks man.

[txt4nk]

I agree with Tom! AWESOME arrangement man.. Please keep em coming!!

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks! Plenty more on their way...they just might take a while.

[bobostonepony]

just brilliant! Great arrangement. Sounds fantastic.

[BenEzraSoundProject]

Thanks so much! I was really happy with how this one turned out.
