This one is sung better. And played quite well. But damn, the face you make when straining looks like you're about to cry, or pass an organ (possibly both).
Your actual singing ability is fine, I would say. Maybe it's just that your voice isn't as strong as the original vocalist. No big deal, it's a cover!
you try to do any of the things this guy can do. i would like to see someone do them all like him. grizzly bears sound is hard to cover give him much needed credit. nice work
if anyone doesn't like this, check out his other stuff, both solo and in a group (the smiles). some great music that should be on its way to be signed to a record and reviewed by pitchfork hopefully soon
ok dude do not listen to what any one else says that was so good it was so cool when u did that little solo thingy on the piano during the chorus grizzly bear uses a harpisichord for that part but you figured it out on piano and used a piano that was realyy gud
i was blown away by the Norway cover, but i was let down immensely by this one. the problem is mostly its lack of originality, and it lacks the power of harmonies. and yeah, wrong song choice too. but your Norway was way too good so I forgive you any time. :)
@willsturgeonmusic I love the large dollop of sarcasm. If it was I being criticised so harshly, obscenities would have made up the greater part of my reply; but, I prefer your way.
mate dont listen to zeiramsy about your voice being week...every ones voices are different and im diggin it..Anyways this is coming from a fellow musician and i think your a genius keep on doing what you love mate thats what counts!
You´ve got mad music skills but bad choice with the song, love two weeks but it´s too darned hard to sing. Nobody has a voice like that, and the song relies heavily on it.
sooooooooo good. if its not too much trouble could you possibly send me some of the piano/keys sheet because i have figured out most of it but not all so if you have some spare time thatd be great. thanks and great job!
are you recording the videos and putting them together creating the song? or creating the song then recording videos of you playing the various instruments.
Don't be afraid to use reverb and explore different effects! But otherwise, this is a pretty good cover. I just put up a cover of while you wait. I'd like to hear what chu think.
Is there a place where I can download all or most of the songs hes done? Like a torrent or something. Also if its on iTunes let me know I'm willing to pay just want to hear this on my iPod.
If you moved in next door I would bake you cookies on Sundays so you'd start off your week well in exchange for letting me listen to you sing and play beautiful melodies
your last name is also a type of fish
