[TheShitBed]

I couldn't stop listening, oddly enough.

[joemunkey30]

prepare your mountain top

[asdfadfv32452345]

@joemunkey30 you win a million internets, sir.

[EnlightenedJHOX]

@joemunkey30 LMAO

[scrumjosh]

@joemunkey30 Hahahahaha!

[mpbrown27]

99% of the covers on youtube are really bad. This falls into the 1%. Nice take on a great song.

[gjkok]

Nice one! Keep it up!

Greetings from Holland 2011 :)

[nick1553]

i feel like this song was always meant to covered nice and slow. well done, really impressive stuff. you have an awesome voice.

[GranCarta]

this version is really sweet and delicate, and although far away from the original, i like it

[BleuRibbonMarathon2]

your beautiful :)

[MyTeenageyearzz]

very good... it sounds more relaxing coming from a womans voice

[NickHannula]

This is a really hard song to cover, and you did it really well. Keep it up!

[rockshow1806]

This was adorable, which is crazy for this song. Awesome

[phifeNtip]

hey you tryin to be my gf for a lil bit and then have a tragic romantic fallout?

[ewk71]

Great cover and what a wonderful voice! Greetings from Holland! :)

[mst3ksanta]

wow that was amazing. a beautiful voice, with a beautiful girl.

[ZomfGJohn]

You have a great voice and I love this song!

[phifeNtip]

i wanna buy this version

[GoggleBoy116]

This is an excellent version of the song, it's very smooth.

[doktorkosmos213]

sweet cover 

[lesa9410]

Beautiful

[Charliesproduct]

That was lovely! Cheers!

[jdogl79]

Why haven't you posted anything new? Ever time I listen to your Holland, 1945 cover it makes me take at the old Martin and submit the finger tips to 3 hours of punishment.

[shak99]

This is actually very pleasant. Good job (:

[gloriouspeanut]

Liked.

INDENTIONS IN THE SHEETS!

[pinman]

i love this song and you have a very pretty voice.

[Psygnus]

your daddy must be very proud of himself for having such a cute little talented gal like you as a daughter

[braknar]

thumbs up, i especially loved the cocky look in your eyes at the end....NICE

[jmartindunc]

I stumbled upon this video while trying to learn the song for uke. I love the raw energy of the original, but I think you've inspired me to go down this route. It really lets the lyrics come to the front. You've definitely done this song justice! Very delicate and controlled.

[NoFrag0]

You sing good

[crappybassist96]

Oh, how much i love southern women. any chance you'll do another NMH tune? 'Naomi', maybe? I think that one would translate well.

[ozzy08]

after listening to this i decided that southern accents are the best of all american accents.

[ozzy08]

after hearing this i realized that the southern accent is the best of all american accents.

[shiv3bmx]

wooooooow

nice

[Sandline86]

Lowering the tempo was a very clever idea, it can be very tricky to sing this song at original speed, you have created here a very classy cover version.

[cutemusicmaker]

thx..raised in ga, but been in sc for about 6 years

[snowpoon]

i definitely enjoyed the southern version of this song. very smooth.

[cutemusicmaker]

thx :)

[nintend82]

i kinda stumbled across this, and it ended up playing in the background. then when it was over i had to play it again. im not a big fan of covers, but your voice goes wonderfully with this song!

[cutemusicmaker]

hey, thanx! i appreciate that :)

[MrRolly25]

Holland 1945 is a southern song sang by south folk from Athens, GA. Go Braves, and take the Falcons with you...

[cutemusicmaker]

@JimmyHoffa04 hahaha i don't know why, but i'm glad :)

[atfatw]

poor kid, you really need lots and lots of lessons!

[IamianaimaI]

i think the lyrics were dead on. really good

[bradattax]

really good job

[chasgun]

i like this style, i like your smile...

[nikiyadig]

cute cover. sweet voice. nice and smooth.

[Supaduck0]

you have a southern accent

and those are hot

[cutemusicmaker]

haha thanx

[steve0619]

@Supaduck0 nothing personal, (love the cover) but i have to say southern USA accents are horrible.

[wiggawannabe]

great job, you should cover some silver jews sometime.

[arover1882]

Fantastic version - I would pay to download it if it was available.

[MMMcDermott]

Wonderful rendition

[Jakearoo14]

anyone have the chords?

[lolimtrippingballs]

C G and D will get you through that one.

[shantizzlerose]

If you ever become a singer, make sure you cover this song on one of your CD's, k? K.

[MrFrosty]

Brilliant. 5 stars !

[heyutang]

you look and sound really at ease playing this song- unlike Jeff Mangum. Beautiful- do you have this song properly recorded?

[yeslauren]

Every cover I've heard of this song sucked (not that the person sucked at playing or singing, they just couldn't top Jeff Mangum), but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. This is the only cover I've seen that I actually enjoyed.

You have an amazing voice :)

[dowhat93]

best cover of this song :)

[SpasticChariot]

Effing brilliant.

[dhb2114]

Awesome cover- you have a really soulful voice that brings out the beauty of this song. I have heard so many covers of this song that made it too fast, but you clearly have the confidence and talent to play it at a relaxed pace that makes the listener appreciate all of its intracacies. Great job!

[JGSturgeonmaster]

You made that your own...not easy to do with Mangum tunes...lovely indeed...

[hhhodes]

well done :)

[shadyreefer69]

a little goosebumps around 1.28

[ladyerlynne]

An amazing cover. :)

[LoFiLime]

That was awesome!

[jfactory1986979]

Wow. Beautiful both you and your voice. I love it.

[schmabbisch]

Wow. The whole song is great, but the ending especially makes me shiver. You should really post some more Neutral Milk Hotel. I'd love to hear you sing Oh Comely.

[themusicthief]

i LIKE!

[mattbebe]

Great job. Totally charming.

[cutemusicmaker]

thanx so much :)

[arthurspooner60]

So cool because it doesn´t sound like an imitation, like a lot of other youtube vids. 5 stars :)

[fezman3000]

great rendition

i love it

nice job

[johntudor85]

Wow, what a wonderful version of this song... I've wanted to hear it acoustic for so long. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful voice.

[waubese]

I agree! This is a beautiful song and you just do it so much justice! Gorgeous!

[jeremy6992]

nice

[Shurekien]

beautiful!! I always wanted to hear a softer version.

[gabsdrake]

gr8!

[Huffah007]

Gosh, This is the most creative, soft, lovely cover of this song ive ever heard. It sounded amazing :)

[tonygoldmen]

you have a beautiful voice

[TomSchmitzyes]

amazing

[colujomes]

Second best version I've ever heard...and your Southern accent is a bonus.

[checkerchic89]

Hey, you did a really great job with this song. Like everyone else said, it was nice to hear you take it and make it into your own. Any chance you wouldn't mind posting the chords you used?

[r7069c]

Hottie

[ruthg10]

I approve

[xmadcowx]

not usually a fan of fan cover videos, but this was fantastic. different and similar in all the right ways. beautiful voice. great job.

[paintingtasters]

Yeah, even if you're reading the lyrics, never say you're reading the lyrics..

[Shurekien]

sometimes you have to because there's always that one poster who says" ZOMG IT'S OBVIOUS YOU'RE READING THE LYRICS!!!"

[bethieeee]

You have such a beautiful voice =) xx

[lauraxg]

awsome cover! I'd like to have this version on my itunes! any chance?

[neiladri]

I really liked the last part.

[elscorcho19]

i like how you made it feel kinda folksy. good cover.

[yowza138]

That was great. One BIG suggestion though -- don't say that you're reading the lyrics. This is probably my favorite song of all time, so when i heard you say that, I was like, "so why are you recording it if you don't know the lyrics?" Besides, I wouldn't have noticed you were reading if you hadn't said it. But otherwise, you have a gorgeous voice, and that was a lovely cover. Well done.

[Xiansiempre]

his stephanie you have a beautiful voice

[Dolebob]

didnae like it

[schismtomynism]

you should post more videos! i enjoy every one of them.

[Rocknroro1995]

your ok.

[PrinceforPeace]

While your voice is no where near as powerful as Magnum's (whose is?!, I have to admit this is a beautiful cover!

[asburytheo]

Interesting take. I think I like it.

[DerKenobo]

i like it

[GuitarChix69]

Great cover of Naanteen Forty Faaave.

[inthefiveonenine]

I love the accent. Brilliant cover. Just so awesome.

[jamsd3]

very very good

[htredlih]

Great song, pretty girl, an excecelent cover.

[punktematrix]

You played it wrong. What's with people playing these songs wrong? They're so easy to play and the tabs are easy to find online.

[cutemusicmaker]

..it's called a COVER, moron. have a nice day :)

[schismtomynism]

for someone who's supposedly a punk enthusiast, i'm surprised you're such a fan of maintaining the norm.

[melodel2]

This song gives the original no justice. Try a frente song, it would fit your voice!

[DannyWeinkauf]

you just made me cry.

[cutemusicmaker]

...hopefully not a "you eff'd my fav song up" cry...

[DannyWeinkauf]

no ... it was a "the sadest song of all times just became a little more sad" - cry ...

good work there ...

[voodooriptide]

oh my god, i'm in love with you. your voice is beautiful. lovely cover!

[JP9405]

my god...that's absolutely beautiful

[cahillion]

wonderful, wonderful cover of this heartbreaking song.

[aguythatisasa]

I dig your digs...In other words, I like your song. Cahill, I say: yes. Excuse me miss, what is your name?

[glen279]

Fantastic x

[493jake]

wow, i think most covers are lame, but this ones awesome

[Lucem2]

Put a feminine touch to this song.

Awesome sweet voice.

I enjoyed, Thanks !

[schismtomynism]

ps- i can't stop watching your video.

[schismtomynism]

i'm a huge neutral milk hotel fan, and i feel like i should hate your cover. however, your voice is amazing and you gave the song a completely different perspective. its very fitting, and i think you did the song the justice that it deserves (considering all of the other covers on youtube are horrendous)

[derf234]

your good at preforming with a guitar, and your also very pretty

[joshuaradin123456]

great cover

[jhickma]

great acoustic version...but i gotta feva, and the only cure is more trumpet!

[humanshieldchorus]

thats really good, i love your speaking voice. you'd be a perfect girlfriend......maybe

[regengy]

wow you made this great song into a great ballad good job:D

[tellallyourfriends]

good job! and she's cute

[ZooYorkSniper]

eh, dont like how soft it is... ruins it

[cutemusicmaker]

to each his own :) thanx for the comment!

[Ashdonis]

You sing beautifully, CuteMusicMaker and you play well.Great.

[Whittzkrieg]

you really make this song your own. well done

[northernohiomike]

I love this. your wonderful!

[Bassguy623]

beautiful!

[uniski]

Honestly, this is amazing.

You really made it your own. <3

[butlerKNOWSall]

i'd do you.

[marshallq]

You're best cover so far. I think your voice goes very nice with this song.

[SalesDudeMcBoob]

Very pretty. I really wanted you to hit that last high note though! When you nail that last note it's like an out of body experience or something.

[Gizzmo]

Terrific cover!

[liquidpyramid]

would sound a little more natural if you learned all of the lyrics. still i like this as much as the orignal

[xxBitzaxx]

that was really beautiful!

[jannonymous]

love it. great accent.

[Neuropelisis]

Very relaxing, thanks :)

[MR1188]

you mean "great cover"

typos are a bitch.

i like your take on this song.

[SkaKid5]

terrible cover

[Jolfawnzo1]

i love your accent, good job

[GossamerReverb]

Simply lovely.

[yzaddicted]

hey girl ,that was beautifulll, its a great song

[kitchenlattice]

Mostly praise.

Thanks for making it your own song and not mimicking idiosyncrasies that aren't yours (as so many others do). It really is lovely.

Also, the lilting, country take is nice, but just a tiny bit jarring to me. Since the song's subject matter is very recent-European, I have a hard time imagining a narrator that would be so moved by the events described and yet express them in 19th century Americana.

I think I'll look at any other work you've got posted. There must be real gems!

[tristanlaing]

I love your voice, unapologetic. Better than Mangun's own live versions.

[wimbotkang]

dunno why you've been given thumbs down... sure magnum was a fantastic musician for writing it in the first place... but to say he was an "awesome singer" is just lying to yourself, whereas this girl has a really good voice and deserves the praise given above.. and this is from someone who usually cant stand an american accent in songs. long story short.. good cover :)

[wexy56]

And its almost a lullaby (its after midnight).

[wexy56]

Beautiful.

[gte836j]

Interesting take on this song - a completely different feel than the original, unlike many covers on youtube that try to be just like NMH and come up short. The original will always be my fav, but you gave it a nice twist.

[kavorka91]

Wow. By slowing down the tempo and making it acoustic it's suddenly a country love song.

[preppy890]

I loved it. 5*

[streetlight3989]

Wow, your voice is great, great cover overall.

[gokinsmen]

This is the only NMH cover on YouTube that I can even stand...and it's great!

[7RaulGonzales]

rape, definitely rape. sorry girl but some songs you just cant change, you should have left this as it was, ahh your slow voice and the slow gutiar playing is just blasphemy

[varsityfilm]

I would pay five bucks to see that. Seriously, awesome.

[m0bi]

I was checking out Neutral Milk Hotel stuff and came across this video - it is AWESOME!

Keep it up!

[madstimm]

This is pretty good. Well done!

[lavieboheme1]

This is beautiful! I like that you did it your own way, it added a unique twist to an already great song

[Nichtmara19]

That was very beautiful, you and the song lol.

[kevinhorn]

This is really cool. I ripped the audio off this video and put it on a mix cd for my friend.

[cutemusicmaker]

haha that's cool and i'm totally flattered!

[megaphonethis]

this is a really lovely cover!

[julianalangaro]

woooooooow, your voice is amazing. the music too. :P

[stellarxosky]

That was really beautiful..even if it wasn't Jeff.

[PhillyFlyers8]

pretty cool. surprisingly i liked the country twist to a NMH song

[noobzrule]

hi, u sang really sweet like an angel from the northern star shining on us.

[xjonnychaosx]

creepy

[noobzrule]

the only one who is creepy is u jonny

[supergwats]

ace job. you earn many, many stars. stars that were yours to begin with, so what matters an opinion? keep up the great work.

[kolipoky10]

oh my god. you are so beautiful. this is great. don't stop singing. ever!

[akrlic]

Wow... Unique interpretation. I like it.

[hreskofreight4]

i liked it. any NMH fans are cool with me.

[Wingbladeproductions]

wow

nice job

[thekakihara]

i'm hard to please when it comes to NMH covers, but this is really good. good job.

[thefallinggirl]

i think most NMH fans are pretty hard to please when it comes to covers. so the success of this one says a lot :)

[RoboPimp3000]

This is my favorite NMH song. You did a great job with it.

[haley727]

this is great! I love what you did with it.
