Animal Collective- Fireworks (cover)

Hi there! I'm Sophia Rapata, n this is my first cover song video! I had to choose somethin super special.. so obviously I chose..
Fireworks by Animal Collective!!!
(my fave song by my fave band :)

I know this sounds a bit different from the original.. so please don't get offended and kill me. I love the original deeply. The song is wonderfully fantastic. That is why I'm playing it! ^_^

If you haven't heard the original song, I suggest you take a listen.. light some sparklers while you watch :)

Also, in case anyone is wondering... This performance was held in mah clubhouse or club"mansion" as I like to call it. It's a gorgeous abandoned warehouse near my Indiana home. It has all the basic necessities for chillaxin, such as a kitchen, toilet n geetar. Aaaaand I can sing as loud as I want ;)

Lyrics:
(Fee la luh, Fee la luh, Fee la luh, Fee la luh uh, Fee deloouh, Fee deloouh, Fee deloouh, Fee deloouh uh oh, do believe it in eye I see you, do believe it in eye I see ya)

Now it's day, I've been trying to get that taste off my tongue
I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm
Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before
Now I can't walk in a vacuum, I feel ugly, feel my pores
It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light
Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite
"What's the day?" "What's you doing?"
"How's your mood?" "How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired
It's family beaches that I desire
A sacred night, where we'll watch the fireworks
The frightened babies poo
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes.

I've been eating with a good friend who said
"A Genii made me out of the earth's skin"
But in spite of her she is my birth kin,
she spits me out in her surely blood rivers
All the people life lurking in dominions of a hot Turk dish
If elephants be reaching for our purses, then meet me after the world with the shivers.

(Fee la luh, Fee la luh, Fee la luh, Fee la luh uh, Fee deloouh, Fee deloouh, Fee deloouh, Fee deloouh uh oh, do believe it in eye I see you, do believe it in eye I see ya)

"What's the day?" "What's you doing?"
"How's your food?" "How's that song?"
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
And I can't lift you up cause my mind is tired, it's family beaches that I desire
That sacred night where we watched the fireworks
They frightened the babies and you know they've got two flashing eyes
And if they are color blind, they make me feel, that you're only what I see sometimes.

[oj4ever4given]

@W0mb0l0gy heh, an abandoned warehouse..

[nooblet182000]

i love this! very unique cover.

[oj4ever4given]

@nooblet182000 Thanks!

[CornerOfTheUniverse]

Smitten with ectsasy over this .... Over you.

[oj4ever4given]

@CornerOfTheUniverse Aww.. :)

[morganza2827]

I love the half toilet in the back

[oj4ever4given]

@TheFlashingEyes that's true. I'd prolly feel the same way if I heard someone else changin up a song from one a my fave bands.

I do love Animal Collective, that's why I wanted to learn it n play it whenever I wanted. But playin it on geet is totally diff than wut they do. It felt better for me to slow it down.

I think peeps should be able to do wutever they want to do as long as they're respectful.

But then again, I myself don't like the idea of covers. So yeah, it's a toss up.

*whispers* hiiii

[zildjiandrummer1]

yaa, great voice and talent and everything, but this cover is NOT workin for me, fireworks is too upbeat of a song to switch it up like this. but i wouold like to see maybe a slower anco song covered

[luortiz6]

@oj4ever4given Calm down, Animal Collective is not the holy grail that will be tarnished if someone does a cover that's different than the song. In fact, its better if someone changes it up and makes it their own like she did. Props for that

[ryandzim]

fantastic! I think you ccan sing way better then Animal collective live! I shared this on facebook to my friends, it's so hard to do an AC cover with just a guitar and voice, but you nailed it. I did an unconventional experimental acapella cover of 'Leaf House" by AC, check it out, it's by far my favorite AC song. Hope you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed your cover :)

[Julyeah]

this actually is a really nice cover of AnCo :) it has a special feel

[MrAnarchyintheusa]

@TheFlashingEyes well, remember animal collective has their share of acoustic, relatively soft albums for example, campfire songs and sung tongs. but i'm not a big fan of this cover either, you're absolutely right in the fact that the delivery is too soft (i wonder why you received so many negative votes, just rude)
