  • Either your chors are terriably wrong or your guitar is out of tune, but the intro chords were definately off, but i accept that i learn all my songs by ear so im never 100% myself. Purtty voice though :D

  • @TajFludd I play it in a different key than the original recording. Colin Meloy has a deeper voice than I do so I had to raise it up to be able to sing it. That's why the chords are different.

  • Would you ever consider doing some Sufjan Stevens?

  • Perhopppps...But I would probably need some song recommendations to start listening to him. Got any?

  • John Wayne Gacy Jr is a good Sufjan song to play, as well as Casimir Pulaski Day, they're both pretty sad though :(

  • Quite all right. Never was one to shy away from the depressing. :P

  • Great guitar, aswesome vocals! A++++++++++

  • That makes sense, to be honest i didnt factor in your singing. I play this song on a massive ac/elec at least once a day and damn near cry every time sing along. At first i thought you were just singing alittle flat and monotone, but now i can credit your female take on his singing style ( which can be very monotone at times) and your creativity to change the key to fit tyour voice, thats automatic for some musicians, but not the bad ones.

  • You have such a lovely voice!!! Please cover a Nick Drake song as well. I adore the Decemberists and I'd love to hear a Nick song from you. GREAT work!!

  • sorry but theres no heart in your cover!

  • @Mobbsyomfglolz i agree with you

  • You have such a rich voice. It's very nice, I like it!

  • love this song :D

  • ***** BEAUTIFUL *****
