Death From Above 1979 DFA1979- Black History Month (cover)

[lonerworm]

So fucking awesome!

[daviddeschamps]

well done sounds good

[MenacevilleUSA]

Wow, awesome! Seriously!

[sairayy]

i reallllllyy really really wish i could download this as an mp3 file and put it on my ipod. This is SUCH a beautifully breathtaking cover.

[extremejon]

never saw this video coming. Haha nice.

[suzeikew]

I love this by Death from above. Interesting cover - i think the reason some say it's not so good is she needs a mike. Her voice is good, in tune, words well-enunciated, but you don't really hear cause the piano is so clear and loud. i like it a lot.

[elykandkyle]

This is great, love the cover beb

[jan1337]

not that good, sorry

[sphinxscu2]

TROLL!! Well done, pgagy! 5 stars.

[SolarAlchemy]

Wow. Wow...

wow

[GarciaDavid1979]

holy sheeet! NIce!

[sixxlovesyou]

awesome!

[Yvo19]

Love the look at the end.

[rolexsouz]

I like your interpretation of this song :) Nice skill at the piano and nice voice ;)

[raborian]

wow.. well cool!! like that version as much as the original i think! big up!!..

[Graydon19]

Wow, I got chills. That was an awesome version of the song. Mad skills. You should do more Death From Above covers.

[catton6183]

ahh lovelove

[1kanno]

holy crap! how long did it take you to get the song down?anyways,i freakin love it! since they show the original one,I show all my friends and people on myspace about it.I like listen to it every day!!!!its so cool.

[benoitdidnotdoit]

there is nothing worse than a nigger who thinks they have rights

[SkeltonKid]

Go to hell.

[benoitdidnotdoit]

uhh roast beef

[ellenellenwatermelon]

Amazing! Changed, yet remains the same. I could only wish to have your skills, girl.

[etherealeyes]

k guys, at 2:30 just start shaking your monitor. Its so sweet.

[derkderk89]

GREAT job

[BiffyPenny]

Really good cover, it seems so melancholic though!

[DWNSPRKS]

Hey check out our Black History month cover as well as Pull Out and Romantic Rights. It's on my channel.

[BLACK10HAWK10]

It's beautiful, I gor chills. YOU GO GIRL!

[felipooooo5]

i really like what you did with it!!

[dannybongo123]

ruined this song..... you sing like you wanna slit your wrists

[zalbain]

@dannybongo123

You should slit your wrists, tho a cover its clear that she has talent, unlike most of the shit call music that floats around now a days.

[holyshitmichael]

You ruined your credibility and legitimacy in arguments by comparing her voice to a suicidal activity. the two are hardly comparable. Logically.

Obviously you have no justifiable reason to insult her for her cover of a song, its a cover, she didn't ruin it.

Also you come off as an asshole.

[bcars1990]

you just took a perfectly good song and made it emo. sorry, don't like it. you have a good voice, but bad choice of song/instrument.

[degraff19er]

It's not debutants, it is dilettantes

[Just00Dowit]

Yowsah

I love it.

I actually teared up.

[MadMarteen]

it was pretty legit

it was different from the original but it was still good

everybody else needs to chill

[TheShapesAreMoving]

you took a dump over a fantastic song. cunt.

[mikeymustdie]

man this is a pretty different take on dfa

buhhh i gotta admit i like it...usually not my thing either

ya got talent keep it up =D

[CelestialWarrior]

Very beautiful. You have great talent.

[Metallicazack]

Wow. This is awesome. You took a Dance-Punk song and made it a ballad. Well done.

[rosathebassist]

i think these people are talking rubbish tbh. i love the song and i think this version is amazing. right now i'm trying to figure it out on piano but finding it very difficult :(

[jmollasses]

it is shit because it completely misses the entire fucking point of the song. Desolation Row isn't teen angst shit, Just isn't upbeat, and Black History Month isn't angsty, emotive, piano accompanied drivel.

Go listen to Alicia Keyes, you dumbass.

[ph0ny0n]

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

[jmollasses]

Fuck damn, way to completely miss the point of the song you stupid ass fat necked scenester. Do you understand DFA1979? The whole point of that shit is to be funky and loud. Its two facial hair ridden, sweaty guys making obnoxiously awesome music, not some fruity James Blunt singer/songwriter crap. Technically, its a good cover, good piano, good singing, but it still sucks. Its like this new fucking MCR cover of Desolation Row, or Mark Ronson's version of Just. Cont.

[SoapSudz101]

u realize that this song is actually incredibly angsty, as well as the entire you're a woman, i'm a machine album. this song deals with fucking gentrification and urbanization for christsakes, what can be more depressing than watching a city you love turn into a cess pool of crime and poverty.?

[Vegetanthony]

awsome

[ph0ny0n]

Well done, I now can't listen to a kick ass song.

I hope you are proud.

You fucking killed it.

[johnnyjerk]

Amazing.

[landshark107]

awesome!!! excellent job!

[benedictsux]

this has given me the creeps, in a postive way ;)

you truely have an awesome voice and your piano skill are remarkable too

[adellutri]

Fantastic piano.. great vox.. great cover!

[BruteForceFilms]

good shyt u dirty fuk

[Smastad]

Give me the Chords Please!

[hotchk155]

absolutely excellent!

[Pijanapornografia]

AW HAWTNESS I WANNA BANG YOUHHHGH

also great cover

[Ralph85]

nicely done, but it's the noise and the insane sound (especially the bass) what makes DFA so friggin awesome.

but still, nicely done :)

[littlestnerd5U]

I remember that time...Those Astrologists were so awkward standing by the pool.

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

you kind of hammed this up a lot

[esojoa]

absolutely lovely. great singing, good piano

[wwwtttffffffffff]

holy sheeeet this is good.

[Adrast]

Really freaking awesome cover...

[bigspilv]

awesome

[eldaino]

vocals were spot on. quite lovely my dear!

[denouement5]

This is the greatest thing on earth.

[priestdancefloor]

should record this again, and stick it on ur myspace account...

[dervkelly1234]

I really like the Piano part,

But for some reason I'm just not feeling the vocals.

They're too sad. well more just melodramatic and emo. You've got a nice voice but it seems like you're trying to sound sad or whatever.

[IRideFixedBeard]

oh my my my my my <3

[SpinBang]

wow at first I was like "meh" but WOW!! amazing I really liked it!!

[foreignlauren90]

loved it! ahh great job

[maniacbastard]

Good job. I liked it.

[phoenixq5]

Loved it. Great job.

[stemulus]

this rocked...

[XdopexX]

great version

[unfunkit]

wow, thats a diff take on this song. great vocals. it doesnt even sound like d.f.a.

[bulletformyvalentien]

cool

[Intomyshtik]

That's an awesome version, I really like it

if you mic'd your vocals it'd be perfect, you have an amazing voice, great tribute to a great band

[josefnpat]

This is inspiring. Not even Joshua Homme's cover can beat this, and that amazing. Please consider recording this professionally.

[ChaosFerret]

That was incredible.

[ddronet]

this changed my life. i'd marry you.

duet?

[tweakbinge46]

I think I just fell in love with you. wow that was ttttooooooooooooooo good for words.hahahah i have the same eyebrow piercing too thats kinda funny

[always6or7]

incredible. i teared up a little toward the end.

[mxjansen]

I could just see DFA reuniting and inviting you on stage to play this and then a transition into their 'drive'. Awesome!

[ph0ny0n]

Ha ha ha ha, no.

[chrizzizzippi]

I think we should get married.

[1one9nine2000]

DFA would be impressed

[drmofcali4niktun]

beautiful. beautiful song, beautiful voice... everything is perfect. you should send dfa a recording, i'm sure they'd be proud :)

[NoFrillsFreaks]

wow

[justtogetby23]

oooh i really like it...

[tacoyoshi]

very nice

me and my friend were just jamming out to that song

very cool

[noudontknowme]

man i love you your great would you sing for my covers???

[MattisTrees]

cat in background!

[smexygirl007]

f'in rights!

[palfguy]

good cover but i hate chick singers, sorry its just a sexist thing

[drmofcali4niktun]

yeah... you're an idiot.

[palfguy]

congratulations, i don't care. my opinion is unchanging.

[drmofcali4niktun]

if you really didn't care... you wouldn't have bothered to post a response, now would you?

[jef446]

this is embarresing, sebastian would cringed and seazed up so much that his blood would have stopped flowing to his heart.

[drmofcali4niktun]

you obviously haven't seen some of the terrible covers on here. this isn't bad.

[blairee]

love love love!

fucking amazinggggg

[theivin]

excellent cover. well done!!

[ManuscriptRe]

Also, thanks for keeping it in key made it easier to play along with.

[ManuscriptRe]

This is really good. It's like the polar opposite of death from above's sound but you can still hear their song in it. That's like the holy grail of covers. /cheer pgagy

[pinballwizard001]

Wow! That's an amazing cover. I reckon Seb and Jesse would love it.

[envy7ds]

Wow I'm blown away. I'm a huge DFA1979 fan and I think this is just awesome. I would absolutely love if you did more covers of their songs and I'm sure many would feel the same! How about it? :D

[nurquhart]

I thought that was a great rendition of black history month. If your voice could've been a bit more powerful, even during the verses, that'd make it just that much better.

[blackmoustaches]

i think thats wonderful. rip dfa 1979

[bubsadoozy]

hahah very off topic, but where did you get your Hoodie.

[1mikepooz]

Freaking Amazing. Great piano and vocals. I loved it. I love you. Cheers

[midwestmahoney]

besides the auto-iris bullshit setting on the camera, this video is alright.

the piano sounds good.

[idioteque1980]

I can't believe there are so many haters out there. Whether you like this girls version of the song or not, you still gotta give props to her. At least she listens to DFA 1979, AND took the time to figure it out on piano, AND had the balls to make a video of herself and post it on youtube...which is more than I can say for most of you haters out there. Keep up the good work girl.

[R08M]

but ya gotta realize that this song was meant to only drums and bass and should stay drums and bass......what if some bimbo re-did gurilla radio on the trumpet????...should stay the same!

[pgagy]

that is so ridiculously ignorant. why do a cover if it's just going to be a copycat version? this is why American idol is so popular, but it's everything that's wrong with music!! Listen to Jose Gonzalez's version of "Heartbeats" or the Decemberists' "Bridges and Balloons" or Franz's "All My Friends"! These are all brilliant reinterpretations. also, I'm hardly a bimbo.

[R08M]

i aint sayin its a a crap cover...i was simply stating that it just isnt the same without the DFA 1979 sound.....if you have ever heard gobs attempt of paint ift black,ud wonder how could thoes fouls do such a bad cover.....and american idol is a bunch of retards trying to imitate already horrid songs....and thats why i never have watched it, and ur examples of good covers mean nothing to me cuz ive never heard of any of them

[ddronet]

HAHAHAHA.

go easy!

just kidding, nice burn.

[2boss4u]

omg :o

this is great

keep up ;D

*

[sharkzuma]

What the heck is this?

[jacobomg]

horrid.

[solyoung]

totally killed the song

[tobreakcustom]

Ugh. Pretentious garbage.

[petedude101]

Beautiful voice, beautiful piano. you inspire me. Quality cover, keep up the GREAT work.

[joejac79]

beautiful cover, just one thing..."dilettantes" not "debutantes" :)

[bubsadoozy]

Oh my God, this is so good. Best DFA1979 Cover Ive heard

[CherryTzors]

Excellent! You wouldn't happen to have a higher quality version of this video on hand would you?

[brutelements]

that was good

[cool4cats]

THIS IS RAD!!!

[flkings]

that was sweet

[TueTe1337]

wow great!

[thetom17]

genious, haha I love it, really keep it up,

RIP-DFA

[hannahbebe444]

That was really really beautiful! I'm still really broken up about DFA1979 breaking up. I didn't get the chance to see them live :( But I'm seeing The White Stripes live in June! So I feel a little better :) Nice job!
