Rilo Kiley cover "With Arms Outstretched"

"my take" of the song and it's also played in a different key.


Its 16 miles, to the promised land
and I promise you, I'm doing the best I can
now don't fool yourself
in thinking you're more than a man
cause you'll probably end up dead

i visit these
mountains with frequency
and i stand here with my arms up
now some days, they last longer than others
but this day by the lake went too fast

and if you want me
you better speak up- i won't wait
so you better, move fast

don't fool yourself
in thinking you're more than you are
with your arms outstretched to me

now its 16 miles to the promised land
and i promise you i'm doing the best i can
now some days, they last longer than others
but this day by the lake went too fast

and if you want me, you better speak up i won't wait
so you better move fast

and some days they last longer than others
but this day by the lake went too fast
and if you want me, you better speak up i wont wait
so you better move fast

It is one of my favourite songs, and I'm generally quite sceptic about any covers, but you really've done a great job - you're so unpretentious and honest, really trying to give some part of yourself to the song, and not only copying the original song. Really, really good cover, thx!

Loved it! I like your version alot better than the other people who cover this song and try to sound just like rilo kiley! but I LOVE your version to death! =) Amazing!!

[IseeHospitals]

don't try to sing good, just let it come, and it should come with everything your feeling. Guitar work is great, just don't try so hard. Thats the problem with a lot of people. Im not trying to be negative at all, just sing from your heart. Id rather listen to a pained voice than a good one. Just sayin' :) dont stop making music!

Great cover.

I like how you have your own sound.

p.s. Lovin' the shirt. I have the same one ;)
