Jeff Buckley cover: 'Mojo Pin' by Scott McFarnon

[Sevenhunter728]

Ps. I do not have your incredible voice but the passion is the same. That is why you speak to me like Jeff did.

[Sevenhunter728]

Rock on, Live on, The diamonds always settle above the rough. Check out my jeff buckley song man. I love your music. Never listen to the neigh sayers.

[callestropp]

really good



[silverthor04]

You, my friend, have just become "favorited".

[ihatelumberjacks]

nope... not feeling this

[marcreevesmusic]

this is great, you've made it your own, which is quite a feat considered this is a Jeff Buckley song we're talking about!

[johnpAB18]

fantastic. That's all I'm gonna say, coz that's all I need 2 say. Well done mate.

[Mellifluousify]

You are utterly talentless son.

[funkblue2]

you have a great voice. thanks for keeping jeff buckley's songs alive!

[eruseron]

just shut up and enjoy...

[aledobretociastko]

Actually, this is one of best covers I've ever seen. Stop complaining. Jeff would be proud.

[kdt89]

First of all... nobody should ever ever ever ever ever cover Jeff Buckley. That being said... I liked it! That's damn hard to do. I know. Lose the beginning falseto wails and you made it yer own. Yer a bad MFer!

[Anthoonyf]

very good, really.

[johnbrouillette]

This is outstanding!

[QuirinusLaurelin]

great job. wish I could sing like you!!

[helicopterscantdance]

great interpretation. my band has been flirting with covering this for months... i think we might just give it a shot.

[miyavi8]

hardly 2 minutes in and I know you have an amazing voice. awesome guitar playing too, keep it up man!!

[nat00ben06]

Scott you can hit high notes, but just slightly off the mark with lacking Jeff's soul and a few other abilities he had that know one else has, like a fearlessness to be the best. Keep singing just Posting a Jeff Buckley song, no one should do that.

[scottmcfarnon]

You are pathetic... This was 2007!!

I loved Jeff's music as much as the next person. But he is dead.

Who the fuck do you think you are to say that 'No one should post a Jeff Buckley song'.

Me and a million other fans around the world are gonna keep singing his songs.

Coz its the best way to remember someone like him.

People like you make me wretch.

You keep hiding behind your sign in name and I'll keep putting my name out there and performing music.

You patronising, cowardly twat...

FUCK OFF!!

[TheCohen2008]

@scottmcfarnon Well said mate, well said :-)

[misterkyle1901]

@scottmcfarnon Woah dude, take it easy. Haha Great Job by the way. Really, really good. You don't have a tone like Jeff and you don't force one. Your tone reminds me of the Cold War Kids. You've got some great vocal control. I don't know what he's complaining about... Its a hard song to perfect, vocal wise-- there are a lot of notes that aren't in the chords that you've got to find on your own. can you tell me where you got the sheet or tabs?

[TheRealPeterPan1]

you can sing dude! We all can´ t have a really unique angel voice as jeff! And no one expect anything close to the original, so great great job! and your voice actually reminds me more of his father Tims!

[pretzelberg]

Good intentions, but a) don't bother and b) tune your guitar.

You really shouldn't be putting this on the Internet.

[metalrr13]

lol.

[TobySolman]

u cock! eat ur words u will

[jadee810]

Amazing!

[nostromoman]

Im a massive Jeff buckley, and i have to say a fantastic cover of Mojo Pin, sung and played brilliantly.

[oMEN88]

Check out The cover by Lesli, thats the best one ive heard on you tube!!!.... LESLI - MOJO PIN .

[placebo1234]

nice intro

[LJG]

really nice stuff. Worthy version of the original.

[2716283]

i really appreciate this cover. I dont think most of those in the audience prob knew how good it was, or what i was for that matter. listening to Buckley is something that is so esoteric (i compare it to surfing) where the beauty of it is not that easy to share with others who dont embrace it, but for those who do know then the empathy runs soul deep. kudos to 'glausterball's comment too.

[andrewdknight]

the only Jeff Buckley cover I have ever heard that is good. You nailed it dude. Awesome work.

[tverstraten]

one of my favorite songs by Jeff Buckley, exellenty performed!

[irisduarte]

Brilliant!

[danieltubed]

beautiful in one word!!!!

[fecapeluda]

cool dude one of the best covers i been seen in my life, ifs not the best, thanks for share it keep the glow dude.

[shadowcat410]

Lovely cover.

Miss Jeff dearly.

[glenn270989]

great vocal testament to the genius of jeff . 5 STAWWZ

[tchelicon]

Wow - great version!

Really enjoyed listening to this.

Best wishes,

Joey @ TC Helicon

[MrsPW123]

This is fucking amazing!

[wheelchairRetard]

jeff died by drowning in 1997

[kizamitsuki72]

Why isn't Jeff here anymore??

[LOPID400]

great effort

[rockespectro]

Veeery good! I didn't get the cut part - maybe bad singing second (it should have stayed...). But very very good! Congratulations! =D

[SaladMaester]

awesome cover! tough song.

[Redzz454545]

Not bad my friend

[cadepodegregoneteres]

fan tas tic

[grogilator]

I've been a Jeff Buckley fanatic for about six years now, reading everything and hearing everything and this is the closest I have ever heard anyone to coming to his distinct voice tone. Bravo. Also, the note choice at 3:05 was very brave and a very successful choice. Also heard a little bit of Shannon Hood in you near the end. Good stuff.

[moorelvr7]

I'm a little suprised,but good job:)

[EGeasy]

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C

You are truly an inpiration to play and sing. Thanks a million and please continue!

[chewinggum2001]

really good voice there mate, keep it up!

[yannis5]

fucking well good. risky but u fuckin pulled it off like a motherfcker

[mojopin70]

sounds like needs some breathing exercises, weird and ambitious.

[hellcat059]

Fucking outstanding!

[scuzee]

Great cover best yet..

[GiantCalzone]

that was beautiful

[oceanfaery]

You are by far the best Buckley cover artist yet! You got the high notes and everything. Great job!

[alleyriot]

...goosebumps... love the highnotes. i think you nailed them all. people are right to be afraid of covering such ambitious songs, but i think your cover is beautiful...

[cranie4]

Nice..very tough tune to sing..Jeff's voice was so pure and controlled...you did it well..

[lishgatesface]

You my friend, are amazing this is by far the best jeff buckley cover thats on youtube. You can actually sing.

So congratulations and please keep up the amazing talent u have!

-L-

[theserpic]

Stop comparing and admire the quality...

Very good job!

Congratulations

[Misanthrone]

great job scott, i like your interpretation very much!

thank you

[jetais]

Wow..it's not bad..good pitch..great interpretation^^

[jetais]

Wow..it's not bad..good pitch..great interpretation^^

[robrippen]

Hey t bile r If you dont like it dont watch it, Bloody purist. Couldnt put it better myself. Mr. piss & vinegar thinks everyone should grant his wishes.

[SurfaceToday]

wonderful, wonderful voice. great falsetto. awesome vibratto.

[tbiler]

I wish people would stop trying to sing Jeff Buckley tunes. He had his own thing and I don't care how good u sing, u can never capture the heart, soul, and style of his songs.

[frogswallop]

It's a decent cover - I'd like to see you try, you bloody purist

[glausterball]

seriously dude. with overwhelming impact buckley had on his listeners. there are going to be those that show theyre gratitude by covering his music. and as covers go this is a good one. and yes im going to consider myself as one who knows the difference.

[thesunsettree]

i'm with u mate, great comments, just wat i would say

[Anthoonyf]

@tbiler Yea, he had. But that doesn't mean it's illegal for people to keep him alive in their minds.. if you don't like it maybe you should not watch? i'm pretty sure this guy is a great fan and would do anything to see him live. He's doing a great cover here, even though Jeff had a voice of an angel, he still doing it VERY good. I think i smell envy here..

[tbiler]

@Anthoonyf Didn't say it was! I simply made a comment regarding how I felt. This is America, I can do that. Not sure what u smell, but it's not envy, not really sure how you pulled that from my comment. Guess you were trying to be smartass; however, you comprehend like a dumbass.

[dev3555]

check "adnap" videos too .. really amazin voice similar to jeff ...

scott you did a wonderful work on mojo pin ... i m a musician and a fan of jeff and you got my respect !

[BrandtCooley]

Um, we don't care if you can sing it better and we don't care if he had to hit falsetto because he's obviously a good enough singer to know, we don't care that you know. No One is Jeff Buckley, but he did an flipping awesome job covering his song.  Sorry, You did a flipping awesome job of covering his song.

[Dem0nJohn]

Ooooh.

I listened on to 3:45. That's the really challenging moment in this song.

And that's not how it's done, not really. It's not supposed to be falsetto it should be that powerful head voice.

Sorry to be ultra-critical, it is not an easy song. Plenty of full on famous rock star singers don't have the range required to sing it or many other Jeff Buckley songs properly. Even Jeff fucked them up sometimes based on the live recordings...

[Dem0nJohn]

Pretty good.

It's a hard song.

I reckon I sing it better...

But then I can't play the guitar part

[SurfaceToday]

well, do post a video then.

[mid913]

I love how controled your voice is

[DrumJeroen]

Great job man!

[lordofhihu]

Very brave of you to do a cover of this song, and very difficult to do it with the precese finesse of Jeff. But I thought this was beautiful, your falsetto is strong and it was pretty passionate. Very nice.

[StoneJohnny]

WOW~ JIMMY FALLON ROCKS!

[Blomvik]

Cooool!

Now do Corpus Christi Carol :D

[CHORDOM]

quite good

[jasafj06]

man that was amazing. you show a lot of talent and passion.

[nhi112]

jeff will be so happy to see that!!

[bleaseyhighflyer]

really nice, it's wierd seeing people play covers of his songs, just reminds you how good they are. GJ

[ohana1981]

You fuckin' owned that...

[billyx1111]

ASTONISHING VOICE THERE!

[interweg]

Great effort! Very nice!

[iTsnAtiE]

wow ww ww, good

[LewisPearson]

great cover, you did the original justice :)
