Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism cover

Me playing the song Transatlanticism by DCFC. I cut it down a little bit but it's still 7 minutes so it's not exactly short.

[ Also see me playing A Lack of Color here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5VljBRlNuO4 ]


Lyrics:

The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how:
The clouds above opened up and let it out

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean
Making islands where no island should go
Oh, no

Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
It seems farther than ever before
Oh, no

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer

So come on, come on
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
So come on, come on

Dude, that was awesome. I've been trying to figure out how to play that forever... My band has covered What Sarah Said.

[scorchio87]

Ah cool, I may try to learn that but I think it's too out of my singing range - too many Gs for my liking...

[kacologo]

use pedal :P

[scorchio87]

Huh? I do use pedal, it would sound really different if I didn't.

[aya0021]

beautiful!

i like your hum, thats nice idea!

[scorchio87]

Yeah I thought it would sound a bit crap trying to recreate it with piano notes, so why not.

[sueq7]

Oh my goodness...

This is such an amazing cover

because you didn't just sing the song...I could feel the emoition -- as corny as that sounds.

Fantastic, amazing, great, unbelievable!

[thecaz16]

nice job playing it but wasn't really fond of the vocals. then again nobody can match up to ben gibbard so don't take it personally

[HaileyLeisha]

i dont understand why a negative comment would be on here. You were spot on! Your singing was great dude, and the playing just as well.
