Hello! I like your cover very very much! I don´t listen to Beirut for a very long time, but when I discovered them (first song I heard was Nantes) I was amazed and their magical music hit me like a frickin truck. Some time after that I listened to Postcards from Italy and loved the ukulele in that song and then finally - found this cover. I saw you, talented guy with ukulele and I thought, why not buy it too?! So I bought a very cheap uke and learned this song on it. Thank You and thank Beirut.
Dude this is so freaking awesome, I love Beirut but I would take your rendition of Postcards over the original anyday. I think im definitely gonna buy an uke. (I've been wanting one ever since I saw my first Julia Nunes video and after seeing this I would feel like an idiot not buying one)
@kakiculiao Wow, hey thank you very much! Yeah definitely get one. I remember the first day I got one I stayed up all night learning Beirut songs I was so excited.
Wow! I'm in complete awe! Your rendition of this song is just stunning. Definitely worthy of a marriage proposal, just saying aha. But in all seriousness, wonderful job! Truly amazing!
fantastic!!! best cover i've seen so far! would you consider doing a tutorial vid for Postcards? i can't figure out the strumming pattern for the 2nd part of the song
@christinaaaaa hello, its a Tara model: UKS. just about the crappiest thing money can buy haha. i had to cut the notches down in the nut on the headstock just so the chords near the top would sound more in tune lol. Definitely don't buy one of these unless you wanna do some slicing!!!!
@artintheforest ok thanks for replying! you actually made it sound good! nice job lol. but i've decided to get a lanikai lu-21c. good job on your cover! ^__^
@artintheforest i must say when i say your ukulele i thought ack looks like a terrible one, but then you played and you sang and i must say you are incredible in every way
This I really liked. The only downside--and in the end I guess it really isn't a downside--is that you sound too much like Zach to me to be able to appreciate your own unique voice.
@sarahcoxifoxi922 haha thanks. a lot of new/cheap ukuleles are made with the notches in the nut too high, so the strings end up having too high of an action near the head when pressing them down. I had to carve the notches deeper with a knife so the strings wouldn't sound out of tune.
@artintheforest woah i think thats the problem with my uke i got liek 2 months ago. it doesnt play well on the first fret adn the action is really high. thanks for mentioning that ill try a little tinkering
@thebinlost cool! its fun tinkering and fixing things. make sure not to carve too deep or else you'll get the strings buzzing against the frets. happy fixing!
This is by far the best cover of any song I've seen on Youtube. I'm going to try to learn this song just by watching this rather than the bands recording.
Hey what ukulele do you use mate? I've got a pretty shit Mahalo one and looking for a better one and yours has a really nice tone to it :) Oh and by the way I didn't think it was possible to do justice to Zack's voice, but you definitely proved me wrong. This is great :)
Kevin, i don't know what I can say when I see a new song or cover by you. It's just this feeling like ants that walking over my skin... You know what i mean I hope. Only to say: You're far the greatest non-famous musician that i see ever
You are the hottest thing I've seen on youtube in a long time! I look forward to seeing more of your uke stuff.
