I really love this song. How strange it is to be anything at all... I would like to sing this entire album, actually.

This was my first experiment with using lighting for the video... and whistling. At least one of them worked OK, I think.

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anne's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

  • Best cover I have seen on YouTube. Most covers of this song fucking blow hard.

  • One of the best covers of NMH I have heard. Certainly one of the best on youtube. Excellent work!

  • guitar is slightly out of tune, its killing me. good voice though!

  • you kinda sound like jeff on those high notes bud

  • love Neutral Milk hotel :) Love this song. amazing cover. check out my site, I covered this song on the ukulele!

  • This is a really good cover! I like how it starts to swing when you sing. Our cover is pretty different than yours but we'd love it if you checked it out and let us know what you think.

  • Damned excellent effort. I like what you've done with the rhythm.

  • nice vocals!

  • really great man, crackin'

  • @FinalBossDesu The album is definitely not shit. This is one of the best albums that's been released in a long time.

  • sounds really good, there are just a few rhythm things (there are parts when it sounds like you want it to be in four when its in 6/8)
