  • your last name is also a type of fish

  • great cover !

  • i want this boy in my bed....

  • 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).

  • pretty cool but the vocals need more balls behind them (couragE)

  • Good job. :D

  • I would increase the volume of the vocals. But except for that, everything is great! You are incredibly talented.

  • hahah, im from the 918.

  • You are really good on piano, do you think you could do a tutorial?

  • I thought it was good; but sadly quiet. :C

  • nice work bro, you did well, personally think you could lose the mandolin and learn the snare rolls though.

  • Respect dude!!!! Favorited

  • the video editing also needs to be appreciated not easy stuff to line all the tracks in time. 

  • Holy shit. Just make my heart melt, why don't you.

  • fake

    

  • 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!

  • Talent! (:

  • whats the piano roll for the chorus. starting at will you always? i cant find it out there.

  • i feel like the key you chose makes all the harmonies incongruous :( good effort though~

  • 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

  • I really enjoyed this :) Very talented!

  • I thought it was pretty good, tempo seemed a bit slow though.

  • Oklahoma!

  • wow, good job

    

  • I really like it. The instrumentals are on point, you have a very nice voice too. Just speak up =).

  • I like this=)

    Great cover!

  • Your cover is really- MIND BLOWING![x

  • This...is terrible.

  • I like this alot! and your glasses

  • You have a great taste in music. (:

  • Tulsa?????????!!

  • what chords are you playing in the beginning

  • SO MUCH TALENT!

  • at around 1:27 is that a ukulele? or whaT?

  • @websterrrrr i thinkk thats a banjo

  • @websterrrrr it's a mandolin.

  • hahaha yo u the man...u kinda killed this (thumbs up)

  • What the hell is up with the "bad vocals" comments? Thats so good. I actually prefer this over the original. Good job on this.

  • This is the first vid I saw you on, I'm so glad I like Grizzly Bear or else I never would have found you! Keep em' comin' mr. handsome

  • horrid vocals i was expecting to be impressed but all around just eh the vocals make the sound

  • Don't hate the 918.

  • you're freaking awesome. i've been listening to you for years on youtube.

    i love this video so much. i saw them last night and i was like HEY! THIS DUDE ON YOUTUBE DID A COVER OF THIS SONG! :]

  • I think the vocals are a little too quiet, maybe turn them up a little louder, but otherwise amazing job!

  • How many micro do you use to record your drum set ?

  • @CSOrganises just one, that's why it doesnt sound good haha

  • i think its pretty good contrary to what others say.

  • 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

  • how much did u pay for ur mic

  • oh my god (:

  • Nah

  • i think the people criticizing this are tone deaf....good job dude

  • so what if the vocals are meh? I have seen a lot of two weeks covers on Youtube, but you have to admit, this is the best one by far.

  • 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. :)

  • this is pretty bad. and im not trying to be mean or anything but you sing like a shy prepubescent girl at her first day of school

  • @neeknitsuj1 hey no worries! you have such a constructive way of putting things, i don't know how I could interpret it as mean.

  • @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.

  • vocals are too quiet.

  • mmm, love it! That song is so...weird and wonderful :P Love that you have done the entire thing yourself! Good job!

  • well done

  • you're very talented keep going

  • turn up yer voice!!! awesome work yo.

  • Great job :)

  • Im a huge grizzly bear fan and i like your style and i think you did a great job. Well done :)

  • turn up the lead vocal and put a SHITLOAD of reverb on it

  • chill.... tulsa status?

  • vocals +4 db

  • I love this :) Thanks.

  • i made a tutorial for how to play this song, if anyone wants to learn.

  • 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 totally made this your own and it's amazing :)

  • hey buddy, what're the chords?

  • oh my gosh. this is so awesome.

    kudos.

    like i started watching and i was already blown away. the talent, the effects. just ammaazziinngg

  • this is so wonderful! awesome job, really.

  • thats funny and good

  • i like how you made the video. really cool

  • i second that. you did justice :)

    5*

  • agreed its really good...but maybe the voice a bit louder:D

    but great job!!

  • cool! well done!

  • 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.

  • well done ! the last part gave me chills. you did justice to the song

  • Hello. I'd really like to have the sheet as well. Just, you know, if you don't mind.

  • nice!!!

  • 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!

  • ya hook me up 2 if u have the time :P

  • Could you send me the piano sheet on what you've figured out? I want to learn this song so bad.

  • haha sorry to disappoint guys, but I have no sheet music for it and no program to make the sheet music :( good luck on your quests!

  • Noooo! Can you at least tell us what the notes are?

  • play by ear :P

  • dirty

  • you have a lovely home

  • impressive, and a great song

  • nice man!

  • this is one my favorites from them. you did an excellent job!! I just wish your vocals were a tincy bit louder.

    awesome though! :)

  • turn up the voice!

  • sing a little bit louder ...but the rest is very good

  • hey nice job.

    what did you use for the eerie backing vocals effect?

  • Probably just a bunch of reverb.

  • i half expected to hear 'its a hard knock life' thrown in there in the background

  • WOW. awesome

  • sweet pencil/mallet

  • Wasn't too crazy about the bass line being played on a Les Paul, but you did an excellent job overall.

  • Man. I've been a fan of yours AND Grizzly Bear's for a while, so this is a big deal to me.

    =D

    Great job. Maybe you could change the key to fit your range a little...It seems like the verses are too low for you.

  • vocals are meh.

  • The vocals are OFF from the start. What's lacking is soul in the voice. A "cute" redition at best.

  • you made this song sound like thomas the tank :(

  • wow, very well done. and you chose a cool song to cover as well. keep up the good work!

  • 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.

    Great cover too, job well done

  • wow

  • damn thought it was gana suck. u didnt disapoint

  • OXYGEN MIDI CONTROLLER!

    oh and very nicely done chap :)

  • Oh, and just bought your EP, consider me a fan.

  • Dude, wow....you've got talent to spare. And you're 19? The world is your oyster my friend.

  • awesome awesome awesome cover! the lead vocal track could probably be a little louder, but otherwise, just awesome!

  • fantastic!!

  • the drums in the original are awesome, here they suck ass : (

  • congrats on getting featured by carles and not getting slogged by him lol

  • this absolutely amazing.

  • Saw this on Hipster Runoff. Very nicely done, great cover!

  • i thought this was gonna be terrible to be honest but i really liked it.

    no sarcasm there.

  • i pretty much love this. very well done :)

  • total replication to prove worth is a totally valid use of time

  • i'm sensing sarcasm....

  • you're a disgrace to grammar.

  • wtf youre a disgrace to making sense

  • no, you.

  • Amazing job, you have a new fan ! (me)

  • OH FUCK. wow. i thought this was gonna be some random dude playin one thing and blah blah, but you covered the entire song!

  • Awesome, yet again.

  • Will! good job. v nice

  • very nice cover...

    i like that you cover the song more complex than just with guitar and voice :)

  • 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
