  • I really like your stuff .....great sound and melody. wouldn't mind your thoughts on some of my stuff. I'm just getting over bronchitis so my vocals sound a bit rough but it was my only time to record

  • all the time i waiting.. the answer my friend is blowin in the wind..

  • Sounds awesome! 

  • Anyone else at least a LITTLE reminded of a very young Neil Young?

    Seriously.

    Good cover, almost matches the original.

  • @TheAbsolutionHowl you know i thought the very same thing.

  • Neat song, very creative and voice and guitar work very well. I am really amazed at the talent available on YouTube. I never really bothered too much looking around until my granddaughter put her new music video "Absu Road" up on YouTube. I can see she has a lot of competition. Keep it up and best of luck with your music.

  • sounds good man. where are the lyrics? thats whats gonna keep me coming back for more :)

  • Neil Young -ish?

  • @poonze yeah i thought that! but he done well despite that. Good work m8 i added u as a friend hope to see u around again

  • this is ridiculous... why arent people more honorable in the world of music? you can copy our style and even our videos, and just get acclaim for it? i give up.. Vanderthief is more like it !

  • Nice song. Reminds me of Tom Petty a little. I like it.

  • I really liked this song 5 stars,nice style man,keep it up,hey check my stuff out if you like,cheers.

  • nice

  • very good,

    5 stars ans a sub

  • GOOD STUFF .... 5 STARS! Please help me win NIagara Wine Festival Contest by giving Joanne Allen a 5-star rating too. Thanks!

  • i dont say he isnt talented but come ON, he is swiping our songs WHOLESALE, you dont find something fishy how he is obsessed with Sigmund & Edmund's songs? he wishes it was David Vandervelde, Sigmund & Edmund, but that aint what the Marquee says

  • Comment removed

  • Great song!

  • this guy has been ripping off our songs for about 4 years now. seriously, little Dave Vandervelde used to hang around our rehearsal area like an annoying little lover; and now hes copping our vocal style and chord changes too!!?? i guess its true what they say... imitation is the sincerist form of flattery. *sigh*. good luck, David....

  • Keep tellin yourself that Sig Ed.. Chord changes??? This simple 1-4-5-1 progression is surely yours and only yours. You must be in your own little musical world pal. & vocal style??? Do you even understand what vocal style is? I suppose he copped the timbre in your voice too? What a thief. *sigh* good luck, SigEd...

  • if that is true, i'd be pretty sour, that sucks. =/

  • Fantastic...can't wait for David to come to England!

  • Cool sound and song:)

  • The guitar playing is good, the singing is OK, overall good video but it does get quite boring towards the end

  • damn, i think if i heard this in real life i'd cry a little. it sounds so nostalgic and sad. awesome man.

  • your great! nice song

  • great song.

  • It strikes me that most of the people commenting don't realize this is Okkervil River's account and that David Vandervelde is covering an Okkervil River song.

  • Hehe, I think you're right, a whole lotta people seem to have missed that. This stand-ins project is pretty darn cool, eh?

  • Hahah agreed! I love going through all of the stand-ins videos and reading the comments placed by Okkervil River fans who have no idea what the stand-ins project was about. So many people are commenting these videos thinking that tthey are amateurs simply covering OR songs. Anyway, I really like what Vandervelde did with this song (which is my favourite from the album).

  • Hi Dave Excellent song and vocals, is this track to be released

    lovely chords, take care!!!!

  • Bravo good job dude!

  • Hi wow :)

    This is my Latest Home Recording

    ciao

  • Who is he ? has he a myspace or something ?

  • Go David, Go!

  • Very nice voice!!!

  • he kind of sounds likes Neil Young here.

  • im super excited for the Stand INs

  • I'm looking forward to the last track. SPeaking of which, it's funny to see so many people making comments about songs they shouldn't have listened to yet... Opps. I'm going to go make my pre-oreder.

    I love Okkervil RIver.

  • Revealed for its flaws.... irony anyone

  • I'm pretty sure it's "Reviled."

  • Exactly he said revealed

  • and we're having fun talking about it aren't we

  • "The Stand-Ins"

    Get it? Get it?!

    Very cool concept

  • Vandervelde & Okkervil? I'm not sure it can get much better..

  • Bon Iver is expected to perform one of OR's songs. :D

  • can't wait for that.

  • Great video. Can't wait for the rest of the album. Namely, Zykos. This is a brilliant concept for the album.

  • this is great!

  • What a voice! Love it. Can't wait for Starry Stairs!
