Helplessly Hoping cover - Crosby, Stills, and Nash (CSN)

[TheResilientFamily]

Blown away... Incredible musicianship

[GeddyBre]

Subscribed immediately ... Wonderfully done. Being in a band is such a nice bond, when you are four brothers it must be even more so. Great work fellas, just great.

[OryPiper]

better than the actual c,s&n

[fbrown172]

Beautiful!

[MrStratoStrut]

Nice job!

[funguy4utube]

You guys are a great discovery .. glad I came upon you all. Would love to hear you do an old song "Green, Green" once done by New Christy Minstrels a good 12 string song too. Love to hear you guys do old Kingston Trio songs - "MTA", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" - and revive them too. You guys are just a perfect sound together .. the list of songs you could do well is endless. "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" .. "The Weight" .. endless....

[wingman572]

[lukessummerguitar]

I cannot tell you how much I have agonised over the sheer genius of this song through the years ( the harmony, the arrangement , the pathos..... Hell, the sheer bitter-sweet joy of it all)

...I must say, it is quite simply wonderful what you and your brothers/friends have accomplished here.

[gillabean]

Luscious!!!!!! You guys sync so well. Thank you. xx

[wildnites558]

Dog walks right in and hangs out under the stool, just digging the music and harmonies.

[menotaur]

Wow, I think your voices blend much better than those of CSN.

[konstanz72]

@menotaur They really do a very good job, but "blend much better than those of CSN"? That's a little bit over the top...

[Boddissatva]

Do you tour and where do play ?

[Boddissatva]

That is beautiful..

[Bio4ce1]

Great job! Not an easy song to sing.

[rat4204life]

OK...I'm impressed! Not just the vocals, but the sense to hang back and use the 'less is more' philosophy with guitars.

[FroggySylvia]

[vivairoversi]

Bravissimi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ludslash]

Thank you so much you're really amazing... I ask myself if i prefer your version or the original!

[KateMcArdle1]

[jazzych001]

pretty darn good!

[Dulein]

Nice job guys

Beautiful. You have reminded me that I used to do this in my youth. I must make my own version.

Jack

[artdonovandesign]

A Wonderful Cover! Really Wonderful!!!

Almost perfect.

Now... if I may.

Stand Up.

Open up your throats and stop concentrating

and worrying about your individual melody parts.

Sing it with urgency. Sing it like you damn well mean it!!!

Best Regards and again, you are all immensely talented.

[okrafeet]

You guys are AWESOME !! Thank you for sharing your talent.....

[pics333]

awesome

[MirfromOz]

Awesome cover, very impressed!

Love from Sydney Australia

[gavin1971]

You guys do it justice!

[tyleryesta1]

this just goes to show you how special their voices were together.

[Rabbi1203]

really good men!

[mezeupartitio]

superbe ..... 

[Davis6s]

fantastic !

so close to the original song...

even better because of the one shoot video

(sorry for my english if any1 thinks that i'm writing it badly)

[TheGunslinger5854]

No rating is necessary, the vocals were killer would like to hear more guitar though. If you just have to have a rating I guess about 11 would be pretty close. Try an acoustic/electric straight to the board with no effects, possibly a 12 string. Just a suggestion. Great job all the way around!!!!

[weesilver69]

beautiful.....keep posting more.. all the best from Belfast Ireland:-)

[CarolinasPGApro]

You did CSNY proud there boys. Well done!

[TheRenshi1]

Fantastic, you're really great!!!

[martinetmart1]

[Paddydinchina]

[HoldOnTightxx]

wow this is actually a good cover!!

[Beatstranger]

great job! You made so easy, and it's a hell of a song. You seem so relaxed singing it. Thanks for the video.

[onkelbuke]

wooooooooooooooooooooow

[BeTheNail]

SLAM F@#$in DUNK!!!!! Even the dog liked it - no barking!! Just getting started myself - only a few recorded so far. I like the overhead mic idea - I'll need to get that put in-place and maybe amp my guitar(s) slightly. BeTheNail on YouTube.

[searching56]

Great harmony...quite a compliment when they think you are lip syncing this. Thanks for posting this.

[searching56]

Nice

[Natoliskip]

Bravo....Love it!

[estepmusic77]

Great Vocals Guys!!!.....Love the Dog !!!!

[teaker19]

so good fellas, keep on strummin haha

[steveb391]

I really like it. Great vocals

[Randydon51]

Fantastic job on this song. One of my favorites

[ericjohnsonfan]

Totally awesome!!! Great job guys!!!

[scladyusa]

I don't care where the mics are or any of the technical things. I just want more of the Hartley brothers , so round those boys up and get singing Gerald !!! :-)

[ChrisPawelski]

Again, well done!

[fender60060]

Very good !!! i love it :) Peace in the world

[dethride]

Great vocals! I'm setting up a studio with my wife and her bro doing singing/guitar with me doing the lead guitar and some harmonies here and there. I gotta wonder, where are your mics? Did you record it and then sit around and video tape the lip sync? I don't care, it's just fabulous!!!!!!!! But I gotta know so I can learn more about recording.

[senn416]

@dethride That's a common question! WHERE ARE THE MICS!?! I'll go ahead and answer here. There are two condenser mics suspended just over our heads out of the camera frame. It makes for a nice full stereo sound. This is not a lip sync video. We were actually singing live to camera.

Go ahead and send me a private message if you want to ask any more questions! Thanks again! :)

[dirko2000]

@senn416 so forget my question at the other song... did you add compression/reverb?

[awbttm]

@dethride ~ Check out the Video of Southern Cross ~ same set up but lighting is a little diferent and you can see the mics in the reflection of the glass door.

[AsleepAndDreaming]

You've done such a wonderful job at covering this that it's almost hard to believe that it's a cover.

[zibblate]

OK this could be a really good compliment or maybe not... but I almost thought you guys lip-synced this. Well done.

[Maysey1]

Outstanding! The record companies should just leave people alone wanting to cover these great songs, all they do is draw attention to the original artists and possibly brings a whole new generation of music buyers.  I'm sure most writers and original performers of these songs don't mind, it's the greedy and ignorant record company execs that continue this illogical and inappropriate behavior. Keep em coming, you guys are great. Mark

[WolfenRain]

This is good...would love to hear y'all do Seven Bridges Road. Bet you would wind up in my faves.

[joelSanFrancisco]

you guys sound really great. having arranged and sung harmonies myself, people can sing the right notes but if the voices don't blend it will never sound great. You guys blend really well.

[EdmiJazz]

Great! bravo ! Good Job! I love this song your voice and of course CSN!

Mika

[maadmaestro]

Marvellous!...no question about it...you guys were meant to be!...lol

[roboarj]

guys...seriously...SOLID...wel­l done!!!

[krassip61]

Awesom cover - BIG BRAVO!

[rupleskinner]

wow, this is simular to how they(CSN) sounded before they grew old. (Only steven's picking is probably better)

[Frylock232]

this is such a beautiful cover! keep em coming!

I had to listen to it twice to recover the breath!, this is is wonderful, really amazing!
