i think its funny how your singing a song about him being gone but you have a hickie on you chest/shoulder, not that lonely i guess. haha jk great song good singing
not bad at all..do you actually know this song about? anyway..nice cover song..are you druming the same chords over and over again?...it sound like that..nevermind..anyway..you got a nice singing voice..but the guitar..need more work...anyway...wel done
I'm teaching my guitar students this tune and this one I will tell them to hear. One reason is because you appropriately slowed it down. It's a break up tune! The original works well partly because it's uptempo - but sad. (A time honored pop device.) In covers, most of the other singers on Youtube tend to go *faster* than the recorded version which I think is a mistake. Of course, this is in addition to the great performance which everyone, me included, has rightly applauded.
I think what someone said earlier is correct. You sing it simply and enunciate. They teach that in voice class. Great pitch and acoustics have natural reverb. Good job!
You have a strange style, it kind of sounds like you are just speaking the words rather than singing them. If you are doing this on purpose I would suggest that you just try to sing it normally because you do have a nice voice.
all credits to the shins, but for some reason after hearing your version, I think the song would have liked nesting it's origins within you. You should have written it, the way you perform it is filled with emotion, your surroundings and yes the lack of picture quality just gives it this feel that only after hearing your version I get. you have made me see a new side to an awesome song which I already liked ...i can go on and on... YOU ARE AWESOME. :-) create ...create...create
Please, please re-record this decent equipment. This was a brilliant cover, and you have a peach of a voice. It would be nice to hear the guitar better too.
i don't know about that buddy! I met them and saw them play in Alb, NM. I have a friend who owns a record store the bassist and drummer used to work at. I talked to them about them being from New Mexico...and I will defend that fact because I am so proud of it :)
The guitar playing is just fine and star careers have been made with voices nowhere near as good as this one recorded on a cheap mic in a normal room.
I agree with you Nikkis0, it was simply offensive. I think your ability to play and sing together (beautiful voice, btw) are very good. There are people on the radio who aren't as good... Chin up! I appreciate your music...
Okay... like me for instance, I fucking suck at singing but I'm good at playing guitar(from what certain people say). I'm not going to lie and say your guitar playing is outstanding because it just isn't; your voice is wonderful. We all have our specialities.
I completely agree.. I am just making a comment on how you presented your opinion...if you don't want me to take offenese, refraining from the words fucking sucks is probably a good idea. i agree with you, my guitar isnt great. If you had said it not so harshly, it wouldn't sound so bad. thats all. :)
Yeah, I'm sorry about that, but I won't say I will take it back because I can't. The way I presented my opinion is the natural way I talk so I naturally type what I would say. Don't take offense too much. I would rather be who I am and not limit my freedom of speech, and be someone I'm not. HAHA, I agree that it does seem harsh but it wasn't.
This is so awesome! I love The Shins! So nice to hear covers of their songs...especially this one, it is one of my faves! Too bad you're so far from SC cause I would so jam with ya! Maybe when I can figure out how to add audio I'll add the harmonies...you're awesome...keep it up!
The Shins are a favorite of mine also. It was a pleasure hearing you sing! I hope to see you grow as a musician because I definitely see potential. It's great to see such natural talent without the manufactured glitz and glam I see in popular music nowadays.
Incredible.. Great job!
