GreenEnvy: Oceanside

Thanks for butchering a great song

:) One of my favorites! I love Mike Brun! he has a great voice! plus his beatboxing is awesome too! Green Envy came to my school this year and I wish I knew about them before. But anyways... I can't stop listening to this...

I gotta be honest, I'm not digging the poppy crooning. It sounds like a boy band did this. If that's the sound you're going for, stick to R&B and bubblegum, and leave the indie songs alone.

This is an excellent version of an excellent song. its a shame the backing drowns out the lead slightly but thats a recording thing.
Nice job!

Brun = Backstreet Boy?

this is so great! I love the decemberists and your performances. keep up the good work!

...well it makes me want to stop listening. Isn't that wrong?

I that mean there's nothing wrong with feeling the music while performing. Their sound quality, to me, is good, and that has nothing to do with their hand/arm motions. If you don't like it, don't listen. It wouldn't bug me. :]

Grey-I'm not going to comment again b/c this has already become immature. Bottom lines are as follows:
These people are signing for people to hear their voices.
You can "feel" the music without "feeling" yourself.
If not looking like a backstreet boy when you sign, entices more people to want to listen, then I think the utilitarian principal rules the scenario.

also, if you knew much, you'd know about diaphragmatic breathing. just saying.
and um
how can you hear his hand on his stomach?
you don't have to watch it to listen to it.
