I recorded a variety of household objects and then used those samples to create the drum track that you hear. Everything you hear on the track is seen in the video at some point... I had a really fun time doing this song/video; I was able to layer in a lot of different instruments with various effects (like the electric guitar parts, for example) which resulted in some really interesting sounds. Many thanks to Dalten and Riana for all of their help filming, and EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS TO DALTEN for taking the time to edit and produce such a cool video!!! PROPS TO MY SIBS! :)

one of the best covers of this song on youtube.
This is probably one of the coolest kick ass version on RUclips.
YES THIS IS PERFECT. BEST COVER SO FAR
Oh my goodness, this is genius. Where have you been hiding?! Love it!
I've been listening to this constantly since you released it. Listened to Gotye's original earlier and realized just how different this is in comparison. This is far better in my opinion.
You are one of the few who sing with passion and really feel what you sing.
regards from a german fan
Dude, I give you MAJOR props for making the sounds all by yourself. Can't tell you how cool that is.
i have seen a lot of covers of this song this is by far the best
just came across this. And believe me when I say it the best and most creative I've heard. And that's for all the song covers I've ever heard.

You know when musical people can hear music everywhere they go and in the little things... I never hear it. Thank you for sharing this, it makes the 'non musically talented' access your world for just a few minutes :) You should do a duet with DannaRichards here on RUclips she is super talented like you and also did a video with everyday objects, it would be good :)
Wow ..
Just saw you at school today, marvelous performance! :D
❤
WTF IN BEGINNING ITS AWESOME
wow! he has a hummer!
Truely Beautiful
Somehow covers are better than originals ;-) Nice work
YESSSS DERIK:D
I missed the harmonics on the last refrain, but REALLY nice cover! :)
You're great!
I had never heard this song until I saw it on Glee...(and you are not a cast member...why?) This version, Derik, is better than the original. Beautifully done! Congratulations!
Wow, brilliant! subscribed :D

Thumbs up for the melodica part! :))
