Transatlanticism (Death Cab for Cutie Cover by Loren Radis)

[spencedeezy19]

Man, I honestly cannot tell the difference between your voice and DCFC. Awesome!

[WyattKirschnerMusic]

That was quite amazing, and I'm a musician myself. Care to see my cover of Transatlanticism? :)

Anyone have the chords he uses!? Thanks

[FakeSmiles4U]

You are really amazing! When you first started singing, I thought you were the actual singer!! Keep up the amazingly good work!! :D

[justskinandbone]

AMAZING wow took my breath away

[davideroar383]

The Guitar is Awesome, Voice less..

But.. GREAT!!!!

[mrschacecrawford100]

that was the best cover of that song i have ever heard in my entire life, really, wonderful job!

[cutieduh12]

My heart just melted a bit. And he is cute -3

[neon471]

Your amazing voice literally almost broke my speakers. I had turn them off. Wow, just wow. This is the best cover of the song I've heard, keep up the good work :)

[AwesomeMcTubbs]

dude. your voice is off like a half step. good effort though.

[TheTallDarkTruth]

I love your version

[rohaihuparaguay]

This is also one of my favorite songs. You did an outstanding job here. As other commnenters said, you captured the essence of the song. Now I want to give it a try too.

[stephysupyo1]

WOW you're amazing!!! :)

[gruntsbaneook]

This is simply amazing! Do you have any tutorials or chords we could use? :)

[cowboyzsuk81]

i've tried to play this on my guitar..and i fail every time..i just can't get some of the chords in

[TheBoysandBerries]

That is a great cover! I've heard some damn good Death Cab covers but that may be by far the best, and you're doing it solo on a street! bravo muchacho!

[new2hackin]

I'm just starting to learn guitar, purely so I can play DCFC songs.. I'll probably expand to other bands later on, but I really love them. And listening to you is an inspiration, I hope I get that good. :) Your voice is also spectacularly like Ben's, which makes it double good.

[StrayEyeStudiosInc]

Amazing.

[new2hackin]

I think you sound similar to Ben in a way, and coupled with the great guitar skills I'd say this is the best cover of this song I've seen! Wow, you really made it almost just as emotional as the original, love it. ^^

[shaconage]

Well done!!! It would be generous of you to post a video of you playing this song where the guitarists out here can see your fingers as you play. This is the best cover of this song I have seen to date on youtube. Bravo.

[DanielGillberg]

good job man!

[gingenroses]

[0ShyLikeThat0]

This song always breaks my heart. Great job at covering it!

[emro654]

You sound amazing :)

Good god will those people stop talking ?! It's so faint but so freaking annoying

[GuidoTheKillerPimp1]

Quality!!

[FannyPhilly]

Your cover is so great...great emotions. Thanks!

[moneybagtravis]

great vid/cover it was pretty tight but my suggest was a little higher pitch on the first verse.

[YoYoHall]

This cover is absolutely fantastic, you actually captured the essence of this song, which is extremely hard to do.

[webcreeper2002]

this is easily one of the best covers, if not the best

awesmoe job. u really can relate to the original with this. givs u similar feelings

[mmmexicandi]

I hope you know you pretty much ruined every other version of this song for me, haha. I was looking up covers of this song and I watched yours first and now everything else sucks in comparison. you're amazing! you totally took my breath away :)

[Velourium]

good job when you messed up the one verse, you didn't get phased and just replaced the order and it sounded pretty good.

[souperheroh]

...woww. you're amazing! this is my favourite song. this video is just greatt, just made my day(: keeep it up duude.

[streetkarpftw]

You did an incredible job on this.

[DiscountComedy]

Wow. That's amazing. This is my favorite song and you did soooo well. Your voice is wonderful, loved the "so come on" part :))

[asiankido94]

You're breathtaking.

[kevo753]

You really captured the essence of this song, which is so hard to do; especially with a song like this. It reaches into your heart and pulls, and you really hit it. Awesome job, man.

-loren

[BennyNoon]

If you were to record a studio version of this song, I think I wouldn't even bother to listen to original anymore. I'm speechless, you're the first artist I discovered on youtube that I genuinely like.

Truly amazing. Keep it up.

[deadplant155]

-loren

[br1ht3st]

[deadplant155]

Thank you so much Loren for playing this song for my girlfriend and I, you did a fantastic job. I love your cover of this song. I learned it because of you. You are an amazing artist. I cant wait to see you at Backstage in a few weeks.

-loren

[XHeavyMetalX10]

Dude you sound just like Death Cab.

I'd like to smack the shit outta the audience for just having random conversations when they should be screaming there ass off.

That was amazing dude.

I think you should learn I Will Possess Your Heart next :]

[deadplant155]

haha, well thanks a lot. i'm really glad you like it. i love 'i will possess your heart', i think it'd be a hard one to make work with just a guitar though... i'll see what i can do. thanks again for the comment!

-loren

[roneykuntz]

OMG!

amazing...

[deadplant155]

[deadplant155]

oh shoot, did i? haha, i thought i got it right. thanks for the comment :)

-loren

[jonyan326]

Dude,

awesome was an understatement. This is my second favorite death cab song (right behind marching bands) and you did awesome!!! Keep rocking!

[deadplant155]

hey! thanks a lot :) it really is such a great song, it's hard to sound bad playing it :) i hope you like some of my originals too if you get a chance to listen to them :)

thanks for taking the time to comment!

-loren

[jonyan326]

I listened to Homesick... Might I say: Excellent work!

I wish all death cab songs sounded well when i played... lol i can't get the strumming for "I will follow you into the dark"... practice...

[deadplant155]

hey, that's awesome! wow, thanks so much for listening and letting me know you like it! that's definitely the one that people like the most of my originals :)

the strumming on "i will follow..." is deceptively hard. i don't think i did it right on my video of it, i've since figured it out but it's not as easy as it sounds

[Deathcabforugly]

This is my favorite perfomance of yours, and that by a mile... The atmosphere, the song (my favorite of death cab's), your voice, and so on... I don't usually comment, but you are my exception ! I'm the one who told you to sing some "Jose Gonzalez" :P (still waiting for a video!). Enough said, get signed already!

Come on!!! Come on!!!

[deadplant155]

thanks a lot :)

haha, i haven't put any new videos up for a while now, not doing a lot of shows recently, more recording and writing...but i'll try to get my jose gonzalez cover up here soon. thanks for the great comment yet again!

-loren

[annie802]

haha i have the same problem..and i dont know, i like your voice in the video..maybe its just me. i dont think so though :)

[deadplant155]

well thanks, that's really sweet :)

[annie802]

my favorite Death Cab song..well one of my favorites haha but its way up there at the top.. really great job! i like your intructional video too, the singing in it is great :) videos recorded late at night when everyones sleeping always seem to sound the best..

[deadplant155]

it's definitely one of my favorites too, but whenever i try to pick a fav i find i can't! haha. thanks for the comment, i'm glad you liked the instructional one too! i really don't like how my voice sounds in it, you can tell i'm holding back a lot and it throws off my tone and pitch and everything...but as long as people learn how to play it that's all that really matters. thanks again :)

-loren

[only1me666]

I gotta agree.. the intro is the one that caught me

[deadplant155]

let's see, lack of color, the new year, marching bands of manhattan, tiny vessels, lol, so many of them really. i like 405 but i haven't listened to much of their older stuff, i'll give it another listen for sure, thanks a lot for the comment!

-loren

[only1me666]

WHOA!! I just had to leave a comment here..hahah.. That was freakin awesome Loren!... Just when i thought i'd seen it all..lol. Simply superb..

[deadplant155]

thanks once again my friend! haha, i guess your hand's feeling a little better?

[Phoenix213]

Do you think you could make a video, teaching us how you play the song? I really want to learn it, and play it exactly the way you do.

Thanks.

[deadplant155]

hey, just fyi, i'm about to uploade a video of how to play my cover of this song because you asked me to :) it's pretty bad...but i did my best and i hope it helps! it should be up soon.

-loren

[Phoenix213]

Thanks a bunch man. I really appreciate it.

[ontheheights]

damn. amazing...

[deadplant155]

hey, thanks again! really glad you like my covers, thanks for watching em :)  i hope some of my originals grab ya too.

thanks,

-loren

[ontheheights]

yeah i was just listening to some of your originals. i really like them, but probably not as much as i might cause i can't connect with the lyrics. but they're really good. i really dig serenade.

i'll have to check out your myspace.

[Phoenix213]

Man... The song sounded amazing. You have a great voice, and the acoustic was flawless. I love the way you play the song.

Keep it up, you are awesome.

[deadplant155]

thanks a lot! i'm really glad you like it! thanks for takin' the time to comment too :)

[ItsTheErinShow]

Oh man!!! This song is very dear to me and I always pondered how someone would be able to translate it into an acoustic version... how it would work. Very very beautiful!!!!

[deadplant155]

oh this is definitely one of my favorite death cab songs, i'm glad you think i do it justice! i try my best to make it sound full even though it's just my voice and a guitar.

-loren

[dtardivel]

dude ill i have to say i wow!! i love this song...im looking at the tabs right now cause of you!

Thanks Man god bless

[deadplant155]

thanks a lot for the comment!  glad you like my cover, good luck with your own version :)

-loren

[mangothebear]

really enjoyed the entire video, including the music, the lighting, the scenery, and the way the camera lens goes in and out of focus. Must say everything was awesome but sometimes your singing was a bit out of tune (maybe cuz you didn't have a monitor?)

[deadplant155]

thanks a lot for the comments :) i think it's the light behind me that's throwin off the focus, but it kinda does have a cool effect huh?

yeah, i didn't have a monitor, and this song was towards the very end of a two hour show out on the cold street, but i thought i kept it in key pretty good. something about the whole night felt off though...not one of my best performances.

thanks for commenting and liking it anyway :)

-loren

[tcrosby52]

omg...

just when i thought you couldnt get any more amazing :D

you totally rock, you know that?

because you really do.

this has to be one of death cab's most beautiful songs...

and you did an amazing job at it.

kudos, kudos.

i envy your voice by the way...

[deadplant155]

lol, thanks! glad you think i rock :)

it is definitely one of my favorites of theirs, i'm glad you like my version! my voice felt really off this night...more so than others even...hopefully new videos will be better!

thanks again :)
