Helplessly hoping

After re-listening to the original Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young version of this song, "Kingdom Hearts" popped into my head during the chorus; thus the video was born

Whats the strange drum sound used? like a bouncing sound

[InvertedJabberwocky]

I think it might be a bongo or conga drum. (or possibly a djembe)

[tpackwood565]

Do the vocals on this song, have a strange effect on them? i working on a cover this and wonder if any one could help me. What effects are on the taxiride vocals that make them so like that?

[InvertedJabberwocky]

To my knowledge, there aren't any effects on the vocals. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Where can I download a version of this song? I love CSNY, and this version is a great rendition

[InvertedJabberwocky]

Not sure where it can be downloaded, but I can send it to you if you'd like

That was at least as good as the orginal. I must find more of TaxiRide.

It's by the Australian band Taxiride from their album Imaginate.

Love the video, but the audio is too hot. It distorts and loses the beauty of the recording. Would be really nice if you could redo that sometime so that the music is as nice as the video.

@tpackwood565 theres def a chorus effect, and it sounds EQd sorry if Im 2 years late

[slowgold20]

@tpackwood565 theres def a chorus effect, and it sounds EQd

[EliezerGanz]

@tpackwood565 It's all very much pitched (using autotune software). Sounds great though!

[azdv]

@SAOG2009 It is by them but you don't have an Australia/European or Taiwanese release it would seem.

Check the wiki article for Imaginate.

@azdv

[lostinthehazeoftime]

[Trudence04]

Good video... I LOVE THIS SONG!!!  it's like the only "good version"

[renemill]

I  love this song

[jch002]

Nice. I don't usually care for covers, especially for classics, and a difficult one at that, but they managed to pull it off.
