Will Dixon - Stairwell (alternative version)

[shit311]

yes its new and good :D not only skrillex or rusko is dubstep. hear some mount kimbie, people

[StringRoss]

not to be rude but this is more dirty electronic then dubstep

[TheMusicShePlays]

I love it.. I'm in love.. <3

[Slaindor69]

I like the direction you are headed in. The lighter sound is a nice contrast to a lot of the darker elements of dubstep. Keep up the great work!

[Krinkels6666]

When you sing you sound like beirut (the artist of course)

[mistajanga]

This is terrible and is barely dubstep >.<

[TheRandomDestruction]

/watch?v=RCmWBz2CGKQ nice mixture of guitar and dubstep :)

[avoidbadnews]

0:00 - 1:00 reminds me of radiohead for some reason

[FllthPig]

@avoidbadnews yeah me too :)

[Evnarcotic]

i have found my religious faith! had to walk out of church when my headphones started turning heads of the christians around me

[firehorse223]

u sir are amazing please be the father of my children <33

[Riccardoqueen]

brit pop+ dubstep drum

it's only dubstep in the drumming

rest of the song is a mix with pink floyd,brit pop and other stuff

very good!

[fecklessman]

i think you've succeeded in proving that acoustic dubstep is a terrible idea. ;-D this was pretty amusing though.

[AnimeForumX]

Ooh dude, wear shoes or sumthing... its just nasty.

[MenacingPhantom]

hahahaha....breathe.....hahaha­ha

[TheSuperbuttz]

Dude you were off key a dozen times throughout this song. Seriously. Come on.

[JustinGilby]

@TheSuperbuttz Oh no, he's human?!

[Hidratos]

may i ask what model this acoustic dubstep guitar is? i saw this guy who also had an acoustic dubstep guitar but the sound of his ibanez SKR-111-EX was way better. your acoustic dubstep guitar has a good sound somehow like the ibanez! please tell me what kind of acoustic dubstep guitar yours is!

[JustinGilby]

@Hidratos

There is no such thing as a dubstep guitar, it's a regular guitar with effects over it!

[Hidratos]

@JustinGilby

i know it was more a joke :] i saw a video by 'boy in a band' about "acoustic dubstep guitars". so i thought it would be a funny joke. things i post arent meant to be serious :]

[ourSkateShop]

Only 2.5k views? That's pretty low don't you think for a video of this quality?

[thepappytube]

@ourSkateShop Yes. Very low. You should share this with all your friends, yeah?

[aaalecsa]

I was actually pretty disappointed when that song ended. Awesome job :3

[ConverseMarch]

you have masterfully created a beautiful contradiction i never thought possible *tears up*

[TheEditingShop]

I've finally figured out what this reminds me of! Yes, there's the obvious dubstep tang to it, but to me it's very early Radiohead, particularly Pablo Honey and that is a VERY good thing.

[watchdog2007]

dubstep is awesome! and this is great!

[ICOEPRproductions]

That is fucking sick. Oh my fuck!!!

[rudeandnotginger81]

Unable to form coherent comment. YOU SEE WHAT YOU DO TO ME, WILL?

[WoWzaKid123]

Awesome, but 00:36 i thought was rather rude :P

[TheRydog100]

Have yo heard "They Promised us Jetpacks"? THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD.

(I didn't try to CAPS, but then when I noticed it I thought it was fucking hilarious, so left it there.)

[TheRydog100]

@TheRydog100 Oh, yeah, I forgot, Songs to recommend specifically are "Quiet Littlie Voices" and "Moving Clocks Run Slow".

[Graszood]

I am VERY impressed.

[enigmaticbleu]

hmm, interesting song. I like it. 

[thepappytube]

That bass drop was so dirty I had to switch to porn when my mum walked in.

Also I love the small effects on the video. They made a big difference.

Also I love what you've done to the album art :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@thepappytube It's been a dream of mine to get dubstep video comments on one of my videos, and I'm glad it came from you.

Glad you liked the effects! I had a great time editing this, but tried to not make it too over the top! The album art remake was done by my friend Joe (from Microlols), because he's brilliant at photoshop :)

[AmelieVonFerdinand]

this video is truly awesome! btw, i loved the ep! ;D

[WillsOdyssey]

@AmelieVonFerdinand Thanks! What did you particularly like about the EP? I always want to know!

[AmelieVonFerdinand]

@WillsOdyssey Hi, I liked how it was acoustic but still different from everything I've listen to and I really liked the lyrics, especially Run for the border.

[xway2]

I'll count this among the few dubstep songs that are actually listenable. (This one's probably the best of them.)

[WillsOdyssey]

@xway2 Dubstep can be really difficult to listen to, so I appreciate your ears!

[sophiaathina]

Yeah Will's really talented and creative and all that good stuff. It's whatever.

/Did I spy a shirt with your name on it? WHY ARE YOU SO COOL?

[WillsOdyssey]

@sophiaathina Yep! That's my surf club hoodie!

[sophiaathina]

@WillsOdyssey Surf club? Will, I'm beginning to think that there's nothing you can't do.

(double negative but ah well.)

[DanRezler]

Sometimes you're my favorite.

[WillsOdyssey]

@DanRezler Not always? :P

[ELLtheBAG]

not gay



[WillsOdyssey]

@ELLtheBAG Accurate.

[mrtictac94]

James Blake managed it, Will nailed it!

[WillsOdyssey]

@mrtictac94 I just looked up James Blake, and thank you :)

[Schubes17]

fantastic. as always

[WillsOdyssey]

@Schubes17 Oh you!

[onelastbreath7777777]

hey cool song mate :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@onelastbreath7777777 Cheers!

[squidgygill]

this is incredible, i think you've just invented music the way it was supposed to be.

[WillsOdyssey]

@squidgygill If all music sounded like this, the world would be pretty dull :)

[squidgygill]

@WillsOdyssey no way! i think this is pretty magical.

[009untitled]

Will, you have attractive feet for a guy. Oh, and nice videosong too :) I suppose the second part of that comment is more important feedback.

[WillsOdyssey]

@009untitled Attractive feet?

[Nalanzazu]

I don't know how I feel about it....

[thepappytube]

@Nalanzazu Let me help you out; You loved it.

[WillsOdyssey]

@Nalanzazu I completely understand.

[TheCooper365Project]

Really very, very good. Not every day someone figures out a new genre. Nice one!

[WillsOdyssey]

@TheCooper365Project I love that people are calling this a new genre- I just saw it as something silly to do :)

[MarrowsAreCool]

LOVE IT. WHAT IS THIS GENRE. CREATE IT. SING IT. PLEASE.

[WillsOdyssey]

@MarrowsAreCool I think it's being called "FolkStep" at the moment, and I'm very glad to have released it into the wild!

[CallForgotten]

This is SUCH a genius idea! You are brilliant :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@CallForgotten By genius do you mean ridiculous? :P

[CallForgotten]

@WillsOdyssey Don't worry, the line between genius and ridiculuos is usually pretty gray :)

[vinceandlilly]

Videosongs for the win!

[WillsOdyssey]

@vinceandlilly VideoSongs are the ultimate type of video.

[Bloodisspilt]

E.P.I.C.

exceptional,

possibly

illegal, and

contagously awesome.

[WillsOdyssey]

@Bloodisspilt Now that's an acronym I can get behind!

[tallatstarbucks]

This was really cool.

You are such a badass.

[WillsOdyssey]

@tallatstarbucks Thanks!

[MisterLoveFox]

This sound is so Lady Gaga!!!

[RockstarRaquel]

@MisterLoveFox Haha! Joe, you always be trollin.

[WillsOdyssey]

@MisterLoveFox I really tried to capture the essence of Bad Romance with this video.

[paarsmeanspurple]

in this song, you sound a little bit like the lead singer from cake. just vocally, though

[WillsOdyssey]

@paarsmeanspurple I've never heard of Cake, but they sound delicious! :P

[etotheipiminusone]

Your voice sounds a lot like Jeff Mangums (of Neutral Milk Hotel)

[WillsOdyssey]

@etotheipiminusone You're the third person to say that! I'm listening to In the Aeroplane Over the Sea for the first time right now :)

[ShmoNerd]

THOSE FEET. ARE MAGICAL FEET.

[ShmoNerd]

I'm so proud of you, Son.

[WillsOdyssey]

@ShmoNerd My magical feet are proud to have you proud of them.

[antmoorfield]

When I first heard about this at SitC, I couldn't quite believe it could work. But this is amazing - maybe not totally dubstep, but so original and awesome.

[WillsOdyssey]

@antmoorfield Thanks! I think I might put "FolkStep" in the title or something, to make it obvious that it's not full on dubstep :)

[SpellboundSama]

<3

[Chrisindapurplehouse]

You sound very morrissey

[WillsOdyssey]

@Chrisindapurplehouse I do? I've never listened to them!

[Chrisindapurplehouse]

@WillsOdyssey Only in this particular song

[TheEditingShop]

Mate. That solo. Gah.

[WillsOdyssey]

@TheEditingShop Oh you :)

[songsfrompaul]

This is fantastic. And I always love alternate versions of songs I know :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@songsfrompaul I'm seriously glad you liked it man! I love the sneak previews of your new album!

[davidprudence]

A nice cup of tea is in order, to help digest what just happened.

[WillsOdyssey]

@davidprudence Enjoy that tea!

[ohceecee]

right! so, when i heard you were doing acoustic dubstep, i had no idea how you were going to make it a video, but i am pleasantly surprised and glad you chose a videosong format.

with that being said, the song has improved so much from its early stages, even if it's not 100% dubstep! great job, will!

[WillsOdyssey]

@ohceecee VideoSongs are the best things ever. I'm glad you liked it! I know it's not quite full dubstep- the folk rock parts make it something different, but yeah :)

[MrSullenPigeon]

wobwobwob

[WillsOdyssey]

@MrSullenPigeon Catch a penny in the stairwobwobwobwobwobwobwob.

[Baconfish]

Dee Colon.  D:

[WillsOdyssey]

@Baconfish Eh?

[JudsyBear]

if it isn't electronic, it ain't dubstep mate! :L

[WillsOdyssey]

@JudsyBear That's kind of the point of this video :)

[JudsyBear]

@WillsOdyssey yes but there is a criteria that defines what dubstep is and this doesnt fit said criteria. Therefore to call this dubstep, to me, would be false. This music to me is just Acoustic Guitar with clumsily applied effects. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE your video's usually, but this kinda annoyed me :/. Sorry Will :(

[ThePatrickWorld]

that was ausome....like stoner rock like electric wizard and like people like nick drake put together

[WillsOdyssey]

@ThePatrickWorld Stoner Rock Electric Wizard should be a genre.

[jdsfblaggf]

This sounds kind of like Neutral Milk Hotel!

[WillsOdyssey]

@jdsfblaggf I've had that said to me a couple of times now- listening to them now!

[LizzieRadio]

WILL. Holy poop.

[WillsOdyssey]

@LizzieRadio You liked it then? You're one of the people I wanted to see this :)

[LizzieRadio]

@WillsOdyssey Um, I don't even understand how awesome this is. We're making music when I'm over there.

[iLeaveYouWithHugs]

Brilliant!

Will, you are SO talented!!!

*hugs!*

[WillsOdyssey]

@iLeaveYouWithHugs Well, i try ;)

[chibillama24]

I have no clue how I feel about this. At first I liked it... then got unsure. By the end I was just confused. But somehow I still would like to say it was good.

[WillsOdyssey]

@chibillama24 You're allowed to be confused- it's massively experimental :)

[boycotttheletterH]

This is amazing.

[WillsOdyssey]

@boycotttheletterH Thanks :)

[jbyrne1138]

Folkstep? I don't know what to call it, but I like it.

[mmolio]

@jbyrne1138 Folkstep is a good way of describing it. (:

[WillsOdyssey]

@jbyrne1138 I like Folkstep, so we'll go with that.

[DavidWoodFX]

So awesome! Not quite dubstep though, I think you made a new genre. :D

[WillsOdyssey]

@DavidWoodFX Yeah, it's something different- I've seen the word Folkstep used in a few comments, so I'll go with that :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@DavidWoodFX Yeah, it's something different- I've seen the word Folkstep used in a few comments, so I'll go with that :)

[NebulaOrbit]

awesiome

[WillsOdyssey]

@NebulaOrbit Thanks for watching :)

[TheSchwartzcaster]

Fantastic, Will!!

[WillsOdyssey]

@TheSchwartzcaster Thanks!

[zaielle]

this is so cool

[WillsOdyssey]

@zaielle Glad you think so!

[Shiryutherain]

...that was actually quite well done

[WillsOdyssey]

@Shiryutherain Thanks! I wasn't sure how this would be received by dubstep fans :)

[Georaga]

Will this was fricken AWESOME! Nice idea and brilliant execution!

[WillsOdyssey]

@Georaga Thanks! I still can't believe this actually worked!

[lucasgabd]

I like it!

[WillsOdyssey]

@lucasgabd Thanks!

[DFineNormal]

If this track had an arse I'd fuck it.

[snowismyfavourite]

@DFineNormal oh paul.... :P

[DFineNormal]

@snowismyfavourite What? It's a compliment! :P

[WillsOdyssey]

@DFineNormal You badass.

[RockstarRaquel]

The video was fantastic- dark and gritty. It matched the music wonderfully. Muy impresso!

[WillsOdyssey]

@RockstarRaquel You're hot.

[RussTheBusker]

im so glad someone did this..and the fact that it was you is even more awesome

[WillsOdyssey]

@RussTheBusker It had to be done ;)

[emmfan09]

I'm glad I watched this.

[WillsOdyssey]

@emmfan09 I'm glad you watched this too.

[bellavie92]

Keep it up Will! This is excellent

[WillsOdyssey]

@bellavie92 Thanks! I've got lots of different things coming up!

[DarkMatter2525]

You're an excellent musician. I'm jealous. And I really like the way you edited this video. The effects melded with the sound in such awesome ways.

[WillsOdyssey]

@DarkMatter2525 Dude, thanks! So glad you liked it :)

[Lauffles]

It sounds like The Microphones Go Dubstep. Too bad I don't like dubstep. Good songwriting, though.

[WillsOdyssey]

@Lauffles I've never heard of them, so I'll look them up! Dubstep is kinda niche, so I understand your not liking it. Did you hear the original folk version of this song?

[reianaisawesome]

It's probably my only slight liking for dubstep that didn't allow me to enjoy this -fully-, but I can definitely appreciate its uniqueness and creativity :)

The video was also done very well, it definitely enhanced the music.

[WillsOdyssey]

@reianaisawesome Yeah, I appreciate that not everyone enjoys dubstep, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy it regardless :)

[theloyalbadger]

I laughed way too hard at this concept.

[WillsOdyssey]

@theloyalbadger I know exactly how you feel- I was there when I thought of it.

[ShakespeareFrost]

You and your songs and your awesome make me happy. =)

[WillsOdyssey]

@ShakespeareFrost Your happiness at those things makes me happy.

[WikiRiffs]

Will Dixon: pioneering new genres since EVER.

I'm off to start a rival FolkStep group now, see you later =p

[WillsOdyssey]

@WikiRiffs Please actually start a FolkStep group, that would make my life.

[eddplant]

I don't know if you fully achieved dubstep, but you have created something incredible here. Loved the videosong, too.

[WillsOdyssey]

@eddplant Thanks Ed, I feel like the sub step parts got diluted by the folk-rock base of the song, which in retrospect was probably my intention. Still, glad you liked it!

[YASEgd]

i think this is good, it kinda sounds like kings of leon. A bit rock a bit urban

[WillsOdyssey]

@YASEgd That's an interesting comparison I wasn't expecting! Thanks!

[joeyisjustso]

this reminds me of multiple things. mostly nmh. somehow.

[WillsOdyssey]

@joeyisjustso A friend of mine gave me "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" a while ago, but I still haven't listened to it- I will now!

[ProjectFutureSelf]

Will, I know I say this in basically all of my comments to you but WOW. Your talent and hard work are really present in all of your content. You most certainly did not FTBA today.

[WillsOdyssey]

@ProjectFutureSelf Thank you! This was probably the most amount of work I've ever put into a video, so I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[jonnydarkmusic]

Acoustic fuzz wah vs Whammy - that's pretty spiffy man

This was cool, not hugely dubsteppy but you still got in the DUGGA DUGGA DUGGA DUG DUGGA DUG WUP WUP WUP WUUUP WUP

[WillsOdyssey]

@jonnydarkmusic Yeah, I'm not too fussed by the dub step-lite sound I got in this, it's a new kind of mix, so I wasn't really sure how it was supposed to sound :)

[g2theIrishPianist]

I never cease to be amazed by your music, Will. There's something incredibly fantastic about it.

[WillsOdyssey]

@g2theIrishPianist I try my best, so I'm glad it pays off :)
