Lain here, wanted to give an update on what's going on. Lou has taken an indefinite hiatus from guitar/songwriting lessons, as well as making content for the channel. Any content that may come in the future will most likely be archival footage from past endeavors, unless stated otherwise. Lou would like to thank all of you for your continued support and kindness. Have a good winter/holiday season everyone.
Glad to see Lous doing alright! As usual, thanks for the upload Lain. I almost have enough to buy the Epiphone ET 290N I’ve been wanting. Just thought you might be interested in that info.
still remember the day this came out. nobody will ever have the impact lou diamond has had on me. i grew up on panuccis, listened to their music during the most formative years of my life. they did not only help shape my musical passion, but also my love for life and the meaning i have derived from being alive. i dont believe in god, but i do believe i found lous music for a reason, and i don’t know the kind of person id be without ever finding lou. i cannot watch fallens first video on this channel without getting overwhelmed by nostalgia and melancholy and remorse and sobbing my eyes out. lou, you have impacted me more than u can ever know and your existence means a lot. u exist for a reason and i love the person u are and the things uve done for me and others. i cant thank u enough. u dont know a thing abt me, but im glad u exist.
This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard. I tear up every single time I listen to it on my darkest days. You have true talent and your voice touches many.
currently sitting in the car after having such a stressful night, hearing lou’s voice is genuinely making me cry lol but never ceases to make me feel better. thank y’all so much ♡
Idk if it’s just me but I feel totally bummed out when listening to Lou now. I was one of Lou’s students and I had a great time learning what I could & nothing stops me checking the channel in hope I see a video, although I’ve got notifications on I just hope I’ve missed something and I’ll just see them back. Back here with all the fans who love them regardless 🖤
ive made mistakes. seeing someone who has too continue to create and even just continue to be is keeping me going. im learning to respect myself despite my mistakes and lou, your art and your presence gives me hope. learning and getting better and being better seems a lot more straightforward than it is. youre brave for getting up each morning and confronting your mistakes. this video brought me to tears. you are my inspiration, not just musically, you inspire me to be better. thank you lou.
I've been having a rough week mentally and physically and hearing Lou's voice brings me hope again and i thank you guys for this i hope y'all have a great holiday
I’ve not been a fan for very long, about a year, but Lou has became my favourite artist over the past year and I’ve formed a connection with all of their projects that I don’t think will ever be broken. I am saddened to hear the news that no new videos will be posted but the important thing is Lou’s well-being. And I sincerely hope they feel better Keep your head up Lou, and if this is the last new thing we ever see from you, you couldn’t have chosen a better song to go out on :) All the best x
I made a comment about a year ago with my life shit. I don’t think without Lou’s music I would be alive today. Thank you for the music I would listen to in 7th grade, and thank you now. I graduated highschool now, and am going to college soon. I play bass in a band and shit, and im ngl you’re one of my biggest inspirations. I listen to this cover whenever I want to sob, and it does the trick. Hoping you come back one day, I would love to listen to everything new, old, whatever. I’m happy to have grown up with your music in my playlists
Hey dude, I love your music. And I think a lot of other people do too. Nothing in this universe will change the fact you deserve that love. Keep spreading your gifts, keep your music alive. You're so worth it, and you might not even know know much you inspire and motivate others.
This is the only "2HB, pt. 2" cover that I genuinely enjoy; it's sufficiently faithful to the original while also incorporating idiosyncratic elements that are uniquely your own. Well done.
I miss you Lou. For whatever it means to you, you’ve gotten me through some of the hardest times. Hope all is good or getting better. Thanks for everything
youve gotten me through the past 6 months of my life, all of the music youve made has made me feel so alive again, its given me inspiration to pick up my guitar that i missed so dearly and learn so many of your songs. thank you lou, thank you
Someone who was hugely influential to me during highschool, all of the projects they've created or been apart of meant a lot to me. Hope you're doing good Lou
I hear lous voice and I immediately feel like I had some sort of connection even tho we have never met or communicated. One of the few things that brings me Deja vu of a previous live. It so interesting to think that everyone’s life continue on even right this second.
You have no idea how bad I've wanted to hear something like this. Damn I'd take an entire cover album of NMH. I hope Lou continues to do better, keeps getting better, and takes the time they need. I know for one I'll always stick around. I sometimes sit in the passenger seat and play guitar, I even sing my heart out to this exact song and other nmh tunes. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for midwest emo, alt punk, and folk music of all varieties. This was one of the best covers I've heard, and makes me realize I don't have to sing it exactly like jeff m. lol. Peace n love 💚
If this could reach Lou that'd be awesome: just wanted to let them know that for this year on spotify my top artists were: #1 Exilius Bliss #2 Fail Better #4 Jank Top songs were: 1-versace summer 2-my omelas 3-grim reefer 4-queer recovery club 5-pwr outage Also wanted to tell and thank them for inspiring me greatly this past year before, during and after i got lessons with them. Thank you for being you Lou, you rock 🤟
Ive been listening to Lou since I was in the 6th grade. I am now a junior almost senior, and their music never fails to make me feel the sort of catharsis that tears you to bits and pieces, yet holds you so closely to something you love that you break down because you feel the emotions not only in the song but the happiness the music paired with memories brings me. They are one of my biggest inspirations for learning to play the guitar, and I have been making music for a long time because of them. I wish they were still around creating music, and although all of that stuff happened in their past, I would really like to know them. As a trans man myself, the music created to illustrate being transgender brings a smile to my face, and a purpose to keep moving. Lou if you read this, I would love to talk. Even if just once. You in part helped me out of an abusive home through the music you and the other past members have created. I would not be here if it wasn’t for the music you made distracting me and reminding me that I am not alone. Thank you, genuinely
Coming back to this 5 months later. Fuck man. I still listen to the music, and still cannot thank you enough for all the great times and cheering not only me, but many others up through all these years. You've been a big inspo in my music writing and although i dont record at all (and tbh am quite shit at guitar) the years of memories paired which almost every song is fucking insane. Thank you so much. Ciao
Please stop punishing yourself and Start making music again. Find people that will play with you and start another band. You can’t control what other people, that choose to never let you move on from your past and continue to hate on you, say or do. But for yourself and for all of the people that still support you, please start making music again. I will listen to all of the music you make. You are too talented to give up and stop making music.
Did some random research, in previous videos Lou has mentioned that they’re not very into the humbucker tone and prefers single coils. They then went on to own an Epiphone ET-290N for some time saying that it has a nice humbucking tone. I then went on to buy one but mine sounded different as it had an “upgraded” gibson pickup in the bridge but it still came with the OG. I didn’t like that and I finally had it switched to the OG pickup by my friend/ luthier who then told me that it’s a dud humbucker. Meaning it’s not a true humbucker and is in fact a weirdly wired singlecoil designed to look like a humbucker. This is how the guitar came from the Japanese factory stock and still in fact does have some humbucking qualities although its more close to a P90 which may explain why Lou in fact enjoyed the tones. TLDR: The Maple Epiphone that Lou owned actually had single coils and not humbuckers in it.
Another year of Lou's music dominating my Spotify wrapped and probably not the last. Music is such a big part of life and thanks for how much you both (Lain and Lou) have contributed. Much love, into 2022 we go 🤘
Honestly Jank changed my life. Forever grateful. I know there’s no chance of a reunion, but I’ll always be here to listen to any new music Lou puts out.
My friend Angel committed suicide 8 months ago and he showed me neutral milk hotel, absolutely sobbing to your cover brother, please continue, thank you.
Yyooo I’m so glad my friend sent me this. I love your music so much. I finally decided to work on myself cause of your music and I’m feeling so much happier now. Your so amazing
just found jank and been super into whatever this genre is lately, sad to hear what happened and even sadder to hear about the hiatus, hope they come back when theyre ready to do so
its been quite a long ride, from "And I Am Caesar" up to "Exilius Bliss" I've listened to it all. no other artist really hits that spot in my brain like Lou does. hopefully we hear more from Lou in the future :)
You’re the man Lou. Thanks for inspiring me to get better at guitar and actually starting making my own stuff. I know I’m not the only one either bro. Keep your head up dude love from a California🖤
no matter what you've done you deserve respect, even if you make mistakes you're loveable, and it doesn't matter your looks, skills or age or size or anything, you're worthwhile. no one can ever take that away from you
A good send off for a while during Holliday season, hope they have a good Holliday, same with all of you. Glad to be a part of this community, love ya lain and all the others ❤️have a great day yall
Today the album Pink Moon by Nick Drake turns 50 and I couldn't help but to think of Lou. I've adored Lou for years and they've been a huge inspiration to me all throughout my teenage and young adult years. I had a dream that we did lessons the other day and I felt so silly. I hope they enjoy their hiatus and I hope when they return I'll be blessed with the opportunity to get lessons with them!
Fuck I just keep coming back to this its fucking amazing. You managed to capture all the swirling, clashing emotions of the original while still making it your own good shit

So many comments like this ahh Shit like this is triggering none the less the music is good
I go this channel literally every single day, but I know we may never hear from them again ):
One of the best covers of this song that I’ve heard, the tone is exactly right
This is the only "2HB, pt. 2" cover that I genuinely enjoy; it's sufficiently faithful to the original while also incorporating idiosyncratic elements that are uniquely your own.
Well done.
I miss you Lou. For whatever it means to you, you’ve gotten me through some of the hardest times. Hope all is good or getting better. Thanks for everything
Words can’t describe how much your music means to me

Tabs here tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/neutral-milk-hotel/two-headed-boy-part-two-tabs-3972772
I can tell you really like this song, the tone of your voice is amazing
i'm glad to come here and see many others share my feelings. I miss the uploads on this channel. You're one of my biggest inspirations, Lou.
Literal chills. Feels like the first time I heard this song.
Coming back to just say I hope Lou is doing alright! I think of them often.
Someone who was hugely influential to me during highschool, all of the projects they've created or been apart of meant a lot to me. Hope you're doing good Lou

Queer Recovery Club makes me sob, lou has such an effect on people ❤
@@blairszjones9070 i couldn’t agree more
Please stop punishing yourself and Start making music again. Find people that will play with you and start another band.
You can’t control what other people, that choose to never let you move on from your past and continue to hate on you, say or do. But for yourself and for all of the people that still support you, please start making music again. I will listen to all of the music you make.
You are too talented to give up and stop making music.
Exactly. Just release music. Start a band. Post tour dates. Stay off social media and I promise you people will come out.
I feel that way too. I would drop everything to hear Lou play honestly
Did some random research, in previous videos Lou has mentioned that they’re not very into the humbucker tone and prefers single coils.

Happy Birthday Lou! I hope you and Lain have a great day today
Jank was my 2nd most played artist this year. I love you Lou. Please come back somehow.
Interesting take on the chord progression. Totally works
I kinda want to learn this version better now haha. Great job
Its in EGDGBD tuning thats why
Another year of Lou's music dominating my Spotify wrapped and probably not the last. Music is such a big part of life and thanks for how much you both (Lain and Lou) have contributed. Much love, into 2022 we go 🤘
Understand the need for a break. Hope all is well and thanks for continuing to upload!
Hey lain, any chance of you continuing some silent tutorials? Lou never got to Freddie and it still bums me out to this day. Hope you both are well.
Your voice reminds me of Chris Conley here. Nice work with this. Hang in there buddy. Things will get better..
Honestly Jank changed my life. Forever grateful. I know there’s no chance of a reunion, but I’ll always be here to listen to any new music Lou puts out.
the best goddamn cover I have ever heard. like, wow. I’m speechless
Great cover. Incredibly hard song to sing.
Miss you Lou, you’ve done more for me than I can express and I’ll always be grateful
Cheers for Lou, take your time and thank you so fucking much for this life-changing music.
Hopefully you’re doing good Lou, your music will always hit that spot :)
