I've had the privilege of seeing The Rocket Summer live 4 summers ago. As much as I don't care for his voice ( too over sung for me ) He is an incredible instrument in the regard that he can play multiple instruments. Comments accusing him of being a poor musician are invalid. Unless you have albums out and made music your living shut the fuck up. We all have our preferences. Art is subjective.
@evilvon Fuck the rocket summer? No. He is a talented man and I don't think I've ever had so much respect for someone than I do for Bryce. He's literally saved lives, he brings people out of dark times and he makes people happy. Bryce is one beautiful soul, it's just unfortunate that you're too ignorant to see that.
the bad part is that here in Mexico do not sell your albums and I have to always listen to your music on youtube
I live in Tijuana, near the border of the united states of america, I have a passport and visa, I believe that is the same, well do not know, the fact is that I wanted to know if your discs are sold in San Isidro or San Diego
Bryce/The Rocket Summer [true] followers don't expect anyone to understand him, his music, the way he makes us feel or what his talent does for our souls and hearts. Stop hating.
its nice to know that some musicians can ACTUALLY sing still. you know...live. nothing fixing your voice. youre amazing! just thought id tell ya that to brighten your day...cause you brighten a lot of mine! : )
I am so glad I randomly found your CD at the library and decided to give it a listen. Honestly, best random thing I have ever done. I adore your music and your voice, and you're gorgeous.
i dont think anyone should say that someone shouldnt touch someone elses music its true that everyone is entitled to your opinion but to insult or bring someone down because they decided to play music that they love. you are one lifting someone up or tearing them down.
amazing song, love it(: -- ya no.. he would look good with like a dark brown or black hair with THAT haircut.. and thatss somehow supposed to be a complement? i guess.. but its NOT supposed to be critisizing him..
Despite what you may think about the character of his voice, the quality is untouchable. I saw The Rocket Summer play here in SLC about 6 mos. ago. I worked security for the club they played. I didnt care to much for that lil guys music then. Now after seeing this video in all reverence to Elliott Smith (RIP). I respect and admire The Rocket Summer, and in the end I think you might find his wisdom is clandestine, and you will feel what I felt when I saw this.
I've never heard the Rocket Summer, but this cover is really nice. Obviously quite different from the original, but it brings something new to the song, and it works, in an unexpected way. And WOW, his speaking voice is different from his singing voice. Amazing.
This song is coming from two very different performers so you wouldn't expect it to be the same, but for covering such a strong artist I think he did amazing
He's such a sweetie. I will never forget the day I met him. He let me hug him, then he struggled to open my cd to sign it, haha. they he patted me on the back as I made my way through the crowd.
I love Elliott Smith so much. And, I'll be honest here, I was expecting a mediocre cover at best, but somehow Bryce's voice really does go well with that song.
U r amazing i love u soooo much!
