I'll agree that your vocals sound nice, but elliott played it in D, just doesn't quite sound right in E. and I mean you're covering the master so its hard to try to improve upon that, it just sounds better picked in my opinion. More intimate.
I just can't get over how amazing your voice is! Not to mention, yours sounds just like Elliott's - soothing and pained at the same time, cuts straight to the heart. Beautiful!
i dont usually give these covers a chance but it was the only one and it was good right from the start im happy to see people know good talent when they see it
you're wearing his clothes, head down to toes... nice cover... i think he fingerpicks the first verse or so; there's less strumming and fewer open chords.
man.. te discution is very stupid, is simply, elliot smith wright the song and play whit his band "heatmiser", but the fact is the "he wright the song", that's meens it's belong to elliot smith, so... is a song of heatmiser, but also, and is more important, is from Elliot smith... is come out of his head..
hey young man, you cover is beatiful!!!, you play and sing very very well, i wish a could sing like that...
No, I'm just trying to set the record straight. The cover is good, there's no doubt about it... It's just not how Elliott/Heatmiser exactly played it, the guy was confused.
no elliot smith recorded this verson on outtakes while he was with killrock stars, and this version is one the newmoon album which was recorded in mid 90's
im saying that this version is the guy STRUMMING THE CHORDS. jesus. elliott smith WROTE this song while he was in heatmiser, and it was released on "Mic City Sons" as a bonus song. Yes, Elliott did go on to record a version of this song played in standard D tuning, which was featured on "New Moon." The version with the lead strumming the chords is how "Jimmy Eat World" covers the version by Heatmiser... You follow?
you're only listening to the intro- later on in the song this guy starts strumming the chords. throughout the elliott smith AND heatmiser versions of the song the chords are fingerpicked. go ahead and listen to it if you don't believe me!
Love the song, love your guitarplaying, your voice. Youre maikng the song even better then the orginal... I cried when I listend to it at first, you really make it beautiful... Youre the best
... love the guitars, love the song, love your voice... I fricken putted it into my mp3... You made it a thousand times better than the orginal. I cried because: you made the song so beautiful. well done, three minutes and fiftyeight seconds pure pleasure
flawless
