Unreal.

[noahisgod]

[alexandrespricigo]

Beautiful song ...

[j3s0n]

You play this really well, but I don't think you capture the angst and emotion that is layered into this song. It sounds good, but I'm just not feeling it, sorry :'(

[GilligansEyes]

[thomasfavelle]

[thomasfavelle]

[nkr9241]

Well done mate!!!!

I like your treatment of the song (yours and shubers)

This will be the version i sing in the shower. Absolutely Beautiful!!

[johnhatkinson]

i believe this is the scott matthews version, not to take anything away from this performance, which is stunning.

[opprime1]

different....but great. thanx.

[robirtusmitu]

Rules!!

[aureliocarrillo]

Congratullations, Corey!!!!

I've been listening Smiths for the last 27 years and this is the best cover i´ve never heard.

[clauddr]

You're excellent, I don't know if you have ever covered how soon is now but I think you would rip it up. Great work! You definitely do the smiths justice and that is rare

[coreyvdh]

thank you very much :)

[satisfydmind]

great job.. you make it sound softer. not that it's hard song by any means, but i like your cover. again... another fav artist.. keep em comin.

[BleedTheFreak1992]

I really really love this song and you did a great job! AFUCKINGMAZING! 5 stars broseph! Keep up the good work :)

[johnbr02]

That was awesome. That could be a hit. Great arrangement.

[Okabe1540]

WEAK!

[coreyvdh]

You know, i kinda agree, this is a very sensitive version... but i thought i'd give it a different spin. That's what you meant by "weak" right? ;) haha... probably not.

[BleedTheFreak1992]

HA HA HA!

[antoningu]

This song means so much to me, and you did it so well. You had me absolutely mesmerized. I wish I could play my acoustic as well as you.

[the3imaginaryboys]

thats the best cover of the smiths ive seen on here. could you imagine hearing that on jo wileys live lounge? you would bring england to a halt. excellent work, you had me welling up. :-)

[extremepietbh]

fantastic. Is there any recording you have on this I could download as an MP3

[daniscar2006]

cara, vc toca pra kct! Very very good!

[xxliveinmusicxx]

heya, love ur cover, its nothing like the original and thats amazing... thats what covers are about, changing it slightly to fit yourself... awesome job!! =)

[thomasfavelle]

johnny marr would be stoked

[do0ug87]

awesome, nice one dude

[EdEckersley]

this cover is brilliant, i love the smiths and this really does it justice, hats off to an amazing tribute!

[rob841395]

Dude that was fucking awesome, it sounds beautiful in that tuning.

[EdEckersley]

nice

[123njc123njc]

this is a nice cover dude. i've been learning the jeff buckley cover and came across yours. it sounds good, what tuning do you use coz im experimenting with a few to try and get the sound right.

[coreyvdh]

thanks :). I can't remember the tuning exactly cause i was just messing around that day and came up with that one by chance. i kno its an open C tuning tho. If you just use DADF#AD with the capo above the 5th somewhere it will work and sound reminiscent of this.

[sircloud7]

it's hard to cover the smiths, but i think you did a great job

[0Mirror1Mirror0]

That was awesome. Thank you for doing The Smiths justice.

[tony9L9L]

Streisand covering "The boy with the thorn in his side'? ......does she have sufficient experience of hopeless longing to handle the aching, good humoured melancholy? Has she even been to Manchester?

I liked your version mate, nice one.

Tony

[coreyvdh]

haha...i don't think so ;). I was just kidding though.

thanks a lot :).

[dhowellbassist]

I really enjoyed this, really. It kind of reminded me of the jeff buckley cover of this song. very nice

[walkouttowinter]

You gotta be kidding me. Yeah, everyone loves when Dave Matthews/John Mayer/David Gray/Whoeverthefuck does the Smiths.

[coreyvdh]

Thanks? ;). Well, in this case its whoeverthefuck. And I dunno about those guys, but I've always been kinda interested in how Streisand would do with it...or Michael Bolton...I just wanna see if it can get more sensitive than this, really..

[garytwoshoes]

Lol awesome comeback dude, ignore him. Great cover song and pretty kick ass voice man.

[jojocopperhead]

Definetly love this cover, and i haven't even heard the original.

[09118911]

beautiful

;]

[lummo]

beautiful!!

glenn, australia

[KuroiBLK]

your playing is rlly great! and although i did miss the agression myself you have a very interesting voice =3

[louismiles]

beautiful, amazing!

[rdw7300]

Nick Drake covers the Smiths. Nice.

[ooks]

Wow.

[nantddu]

hi can you tell me the tuning you use for this one and where can i listen to more of your stuff. fab fab fab. Howard South wales.

[nantddu]

Fab Fab fab, The bes t i have ever eard.

[lukegcent]

you've made my life worth living. amazing!

[intersweat]

Nice hybrid picking and excellent arrangement. I've played this video at least 100 times over the last month. One "little" thing is the way you sing the word "me". It comes across a bit nasally which, imo, slightly detracts from an A+ vocal.

All in all though. One of my top five covers of all time.

Well done!!!!!

BTW, anymore coming soon????? please!!

[maneatingsushiroll]

How long have you been playing?

[coreyvdh]

way too long...since i was a little kid.

[mylestails]

man you've lost the aggressive nature of the song, especially in the music all the feelings of anger and despair are gone and it makes much less sense.

[KuroiBLK]

gosh ppl dont giv him thumbs down. he's entitled to an opinion and it's not like he cursed or acted jerky.

[mullingman]

One of the best covers I've actually heard.

[rambo195]

Damn, Johnny Marr needs to hear this.

[mossy3210]

scott matthews rules woohoo

[squarecut]

loved it !

[robuyube]

This is the best cover of this beautiful song I have seen here. A Jeff Buckley feel and really original arrangement. Great work!!

[Strumrr]

and that last chord....just beautiful. There are no words to describe it.

[Strumrr]

Oh my god....this is really fantastic! Not only is your take on the chord structure truly your and unique....but the vocals are also really really good. Great job. I do hope you do this for a living because you could.

[1971mrh]

i tell you what, you can spend hours on this site and find nothing but people jumping off things and injuring themselves or - on very rare occasions, you can find something truly fantastic which makes it all worthwhile! you took a great song and made it your own, fantastic!

[averyisland15]

This is really nice, youve inspired me to buy that album. Just awesome...

[nicaulkett]

this is good man, i really like the guitar part that you've done for it. better than mine

thumbs up!
