Damien Rice -- Rootless Tree (Cover) [Explicit Language]

[loreho13]

I love every last one of your covers.

especially this one.

[333tvw]

THIS is what I love about youtube...finding stuff like this

Thank you

[spacehippo]

@333tvw Agreed.

[lboogsalsa]

Nice cover man. AWESOME FRKN BEARD!



[dragonrecess]

I want to lay in your beard and have you sing me to sleep

[originalbobbeast3]

Whatever you do, don't shave that beard, it is the source of your singing powers. Reminds of a folk/rock/celtic style.

[MrCFBad]

on a second note, you are freakin fantastic...

[MrCFBad]

i envy your beard!! I cant grow facial hair haha.

[cayennepeppah]

Your voice sounds scarily like his. I had this playing in a background tab and I thought it was a live version played by Damien...

[pievs50cal]

Jesus?

[doubleD8103]

:D



[andrew01523]

shouldent you be playing heavy mettle, really good tho :D

[1FiftyFive]

Great job.

[chelsealainesuth]

So chilling and beautiful. Raw and perfect.

[MuiWoMusic]

Very beautiful cover! Have you heard Damien Rice play it live on the piano it's very nice!

[Kieters]

"It's easy to be angry when you're lonely." :'(

[fimbah]

[matrix2386]

yaea dude!

I've loved everyone of your cover!

[alexoxx]

This song has always spoken to me, but you just did it on a whole new level. Well done my friend. <3

[jonnybarker95]

this is a really good cover mate :) love it



[valkyr11]

Someone needs a hug!

[svenjachen150]

Nothing wrong about that! Great voice, great guitar playing! I really love this cover and in my opinion it's the best cover of this song! There is so much emotion in it.. awesome!! Keep going on! :)

[cabautersam100]

It 'a really nice cover. One senses that you entered into it. Do you suffer from too much perhaps to scream? Already, perhaps it is too easy to do when you're alone but sometimes it's really the only thing to do to get rid of the shit we swallow. good luck

ps

maybe you just because you like singing, in which case congratulations and stop.

[VamBriar]

you're truly amazing and beautiful

[LittleOneToYou]

beards are cool.

[motherlovesjake1]

Thank you, such a beautiful cover. I actually prefer the tones in your voice xxxx

[givingtree86]

nice work. do you play banjo, too? if so, you should do some banjo covers.

[EomerRider]

You're great! You look more than cannibal corpse or amon amarth fan, your beard rock!!

[luciaagpr8]

nice cover

[hitmedrum]

You know you're good when people put their video responses on your cover!

Unbelievable

[BeiraoBoy]

Dude! Get the fu***** out of your home! And go to some show or something like that and sing!! You should be out there selling records!!! Forget the Youtube! xD

Your stage name should be like "The Jesus of Music" or something! You got it all, the beard and the voice! :D Keep it up man!

[Samx3Aj]

i never -.. NEVER , heard a such beautiful voice like yours. and i can't stop listen to it. i have to listen and listen, again and again.. i think you've got a such beautiful soul and someday you'll find your soulmate ;)

keep rockin !

[peachlady22]

Amazing cover. I hope you are not lonely anymore :(

[heryzo]

congratulations!!



[demonwolf1524]

Speechless. . .

[JessieJacobsonMusic]

you put so much emotion into your covers. i listen to this everyday. truly inspires me

[jacecrawford]

[DanBaileyProductions]

You're really great :)

[JohnPAUossi21]

hey you!!!...you are amazing..thank you=)

lovely greetz from germany

[babycreatureee]

I am in love with whomever you are now. All of your covers are nothing short of beautiful.

[MandyBeth0143]

This is an awesome cover! I love your voice! I have a few videos posted of Damien Rice covers I've done....But I cant say I have the voice you do :)

[tetsuyayamatashi]

What an amazing voice. You've captured the emotion so well; I really felt it.

[BlueSofas]

this is good, really godd, i got goosebumbs :P

[mooreyballstein]

is there anywhere you got this tab/music or did you improvise?

[MatteSweden]

Wow! This is seriously amazing! At first I was like "Hey, nice guitarplaying!" but then the vocals kicked in, omg, perfect! Sounds really good man, hope you're playing livegigs once in a while?

[cakieeee]

as a response to your caption, there is no need to tone down the song's intensity when you feel the need to express it. sometimes you just need to scream. your voice is angelic and you have talent that many people would kill for. keep it up.

[Eschatoloman]

you look just like my professor!!

[KeepOnPlay]

Amazing cover...

I think, it's one of better cover of this song. You're gorgeous when you play guitar, and you're a very nice singer.

Thanks you for this such beautiful instant.

(Sorry for the bad english, I'm french :-))

[hannahj612]

goosebumps.



[maattiik]

I watched this for the first time(s) several months ago, and recently came back to watch it again....

I'm just as speechless as the first time, but now feel obligated to stumble through some very necessary praise.

This is one of the most beautiful and powerful anythings that I've seen, or heard, and there is no amount of thanks, encouragement, or awe that would be sufficient for any of us to give you.

[AshleyxScreamx]

You are by far one of the most talented men I have ever seen on Youtube.

I'd never lie about such a thing, either.

Please keep up the amazing work, your talent will go so far.

:)

[inherentmediocrity]

@outsideisfreedom

And I forgot to mention that I've been looking into seminary to become a pastor. So again, very odd that you should just so happen to comment about seminaries and Portland.

[outsideisfreedom]

@inherentmediocrity It's a sign! Portland is a great place to live.

[inherentmediocrity]

@outsideisfreedom

That does sound fantastic. I've heard so many good things about Portland! I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to move out there with me, actually, and then I see this comment. It's like the universe wants me in Portland!

[demizius]

this is damn good. when i close my eyes my mind pictures a guy with short hair, clean shaven, and wearing glasses or something, maybe in a flannel shirt. but i like that its you instead :D

[cus1000]

really really good!!!!!

[sharerx]

you are the man

[777717771]

"It's easy to be angry when you're lonely." pure wisdom... owwh, this is a very touching cover

[meemoo223]

Mate... Brilliant. VERY moving. Please go and perform this.

[dogfightvj]

it's awesome man :D

[jacobmcgill93]

i love you.

[LaGoonch]

I honestly can't tell if I watch your videos for your voice, or your beard, but both are lovely to say the least :D

[Syriellee]

Sensibility. Emotion. Beauty. Magic. That's what emanates from you...just can't understand how such a delicate person can be lonely.

[KatarzynaP88]

Never stop singing.

[zapkwu]

looks like damien just haven't shaved for a while

[asecondson]

i like this a lot

[mateope10]

amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! :O

[sarabeth41]

I absolutely love this song and you did a beautiful job covering it. i really want to learn this song on my guitar! I like your guitar version, would you mind sharing what chords you used? (: thanks! again amazing!

[cassarNOVA19]

alright seriously, this guy is toooo gooood to be playing in a tiny room.

someone give this guy a record deal!!!!

[dignitmydearr]

I saw this after recording my own cover, so I posted it as a video response. I think our loneliness kind of matches, though I'm pretty sure my talent is not on-par with yours. I think you're amazing.

[sheepnote]

You beautiful man.

[DontYouEverLetMeGo]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm subscribing.

[JordanTJackson]

Holy fuck that beard is pure glory, and love.

[rawkgawdez]

magic beard mixed with magic sauce of win = this cover.

[howkins123]

Fabulous. That is all.

[timford86]

this song is so powerful, even more so with that last I love you in there. Not many people throw it in there. THANK YOU! ...Awesome cover my friend best one, can't get enough!

[44Stephhhh]

You gave me shivers... Wow.

[LornaEvelynn]

youre beautiful (:

[MusicCreatedUs]

I'll start by saying, this is the best cover on youtube. No doubt.

Your fucking amazing. Just keep making music for us please.

[TheMetalofilia]

the only dislike was a barber, anyway awesome cover really, fucking awesome

[Ru95M]

this is like the best cover on youtube of anything proper man

[carlosroj]

Very well don man. Congratulations. 

[martin11161]

another arts student living at home.....

[inherentmediocrity]

@martin11161

I wish. I'm self-taught and not attending school, though I'm researching seminaries to find a good fit. As far as living at home, abject poverty makes even the most stubborn fools such as I reconsider grudges.

[outsideisfreedom]

@inherentmediocrity Come to Western Seminary in Portland Oregon and play music with me! Or Multnomah Seminary (I go to the college there). Just come live in Portland! It's a great place

[dimmak33]

A cover of Bon Iver and Damien Rice, great tastes!!! :)

[daniellefricke]

beautiful

[maxineaurora]

you are amazing

[sharerx]

Wow dude, that was excellent. You are the romantic version of Zack Wylde. Greetings from Chile !

[katringbjarts]

there should be a 'love-it-wanna-cry-because-you­-are-so-full-of-emotion' button 

[bryonykemeys]

I LOVE YOU, you are the reason i'm buying a ukalale

[Jaqueslafenetre]

simply wonderful.

great guitar playing and amazing singing.

[ohhtherearemonsters]

wow you got it!

[E1GHTY8]

epic beard



[66klown]

that was simply beautiful

[GirlGerms101]

I teared up.... you're amazing.

[BananaNutBrizzead]

Probs the most amazing cover of any song I've heard. You got it, man. Keep it up.

[TayluhNuhcole]

Most beautiful cover I've ever heard. Nearly better than the original.

Your voice is amazing, your playing is great, your beard is fucking amazing and I could feel the passion. Never stop doing what you love. It's incredible to watch/hear

[iamtheguitarhero2]

Dude that's fantastic! I loved it you did it justice...also, your beard is sick! Haha I want it

[himynameisLucasO]

awesome job man!

[lyinglikelions]

i think i might be in love with you. perfect cover!

[Cpayne139]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[airkill69]

best cover of this song I've ever heard

[LeiLorrinka]

nicee.. u are good player =* :))

[sacranite]

Good job man, really sounded like you meant what you were singing, which is sometimes even more important than keeping tone.

You don't have to worry however, since you master both.

I do think, however, that a triangular beard would suit you better :P

[xXxMaryStrangexXx]

A really great cover ..

from a real great and beautiful song .:)

Everytime when i hear this song i could die ..

I think you are a very awesome person ..

your voice is beautiful ..

And by the way ..

i like your beard ;)

[adamyarbrough8472]

Good to see a fellow picker playing so while especially on such a song from damien rice! Great work bro.

[marieb223]

This is really really great. I love your voice, and the beard is awesome!

Hey, have you heard of Glen Hansard? He is in a band The Swell Season and was in a movie (Once). I think that you would really like his songs... and would make good covers of them. In other words I just really want to hear you sing more, and sing songs that I love and know. :)

[SheaAhearn]

Great Job, you covered it well. What kind of guitar is that? I like the sound a lot.

[TchernoBillTube]

Wow William Fitzsimmons' bro !!!

... Great job ;)

[19151689594]

Really nice guitar playing and a beautiful voice.

[Krista8385]

very nice. and you sing it so gently! :)

[andrewl5201]

Great cover, your beard is freaking awesome, never shave it.

[Irielara]

I can't stop listening to this cover. I love it <3

[Mich95elle]

i love you ! :)

[bennyk]

seriously tops man. i like how u used the capo to adjust to your voice. bravo!

[redwar100]

mate that's the only Rootless Tree cover i've heard that does Damien Rice justice....not only vocally but your playing was flawless! you managed to get a very soft tone even though you played with a pick.

on the subject of loneliness....girls love a singer! but i would seriously lose the beard and get a tidy haircut. i don't mean any disrespect whatsoever and I appreciate that it's probably part of your style and personality, but it's just not what most girls would deem attractive

[Nickpatient]

This is actually more emotional than Damien Rice. Which is something very few musicians can do. This will be on my youtube page soon enough. :D

[LaCrosseTricker]

I love this, I felt the passion. The best kind.

[clarky202]

Man,your voice is amazing!, the woman is definatley out there for you, you might have to look closer to home?x cartry on singing, peace charliexx

[lordofsparta100]

this guy seems like hes had a hard life. epic beard dude we love u and ur music.

[tributeforlife]

that was some very cool shit bro.

[Lynx0r]

great cover and awesome beard

[besponerponer]

Simply wow!! Not too many covers convey Damien's emotion and intensity...you have done him so much justice...AMAZING!

[lifeofmuzic]

So amazing man

[valax300]

this guy truly is a mix between fergie and jesus

[WhateverxxNevermind]

Aww. what a lovely cover. I love it. And i hope you are not lonely anymore! I will be your friend :)

[dilla02]

My heart has never pounded so hard listening to a cover. There's no need for your loneliness. You are beautiful.

[NiennaS]

[fittenband]

that's awesome, great man!

[Ponnypimm3l]

tags: beard

[valax300]

@Ponnypimm3l hahah! thats so funny

[carolif]

[MrBigcurt76]

[AchiIIies]

definitely one of the covers that didn't feel annoying. gj man

[Broowndy]

awesome i love it :)

[ramtv01]

It's easy to be angry when you're lonely...

idem nice cover dud

[supersirenia]

I would pay money to have your version of this song... OMG... heart breaking...

[llamamusicman]

inspiring :)

[DaisyBearBee]

Love the beard AND the voice(:

[RainyDayWolf]

damn... you just made me cry... that was so... heartbreaking

[bakedbean1232]

5*'s for the cover and 6*s for that beard.

[jupandz]

OMG.. this vesion of yours is so... soft.. felt.. it is beautiful..

i'm so left behind.. hahahah

you did an amazing job! not only with this song.. but with all of your damien covers (i havent seen the other covers yet)

ill suscribe =D~

keep it up!

[besponerponer]

Such delicate emotion! Great job!!

[EverlastingLand]

There's something really... "sweet" (I don't find the word in english), or "soft" in your cover. I love that you don't scream, there is many emotion on the chorus, it's different of Damien Rice, but yes, as said JohnsLoveBakery : Pain.

[JohnsLoveBakery]

Great job conveying the emotion. The pain. Very well done.

[JaEvan151]

Hey man really great. Any chance you have a tab for this?

[onelastgo777]

dude take it on the road youve got soul and just that hearty folk feeling brother your voice is awesome do you have any original songs? id love to hear them

[vunka123]

5 stars already for the beard (:

[Adrucifer3]

your awesome!!! Check my response. Keep it up!!! :)

[andthxforallthefish]

... long time ago that I was able to cry to this song. Don't know how you did it. But the way you sang that song was great. I even love your description besides cause I know what you're talking about... and I even loved the way you placed "I love you" into the song. Great. I really love it. Thank you.

[StateOfGrace]

gahhh, amazing cover (:
