The Velvet Underground - Heroin

- Classic tune by the Velvets. Kind of a lame cover job but it's amateur and unique. At the very least, it's honest and quirky. It has heart and it's offbeat. Isn't most of life just like that? Offbeat?
To all the people who said amazingly sweet things about my voice and this cover, I can't thank you enough. That's incredibly sweet. This is by far my most watched video on RUclips but I'm actually not a huge fan of it or my performance. That said I can see why it resonates with so many of you. It has nothing to do with me! Hah! The Velvets version of Heroin is such an emotional and moving song--which is why I wanted to attempt it. I've thought about re-recording this as my current self--wiser, more experienced and definitely fatter too! I could do it better but why change it? I kinda like that a video documenting my not-so-distant-past self (but feels very distant) awkwardly thumbing and bumbling through six minutes and two seconds of a renditioned classic makes people feel happy. Or angry. Or sad. Or anything. Just feeling anything is rewarding to me. Thank you again.
You're the man!
How you doing nowadays? Great cover
Dude you are the best
Why do i feel like his mom or dad is gonna open that door at any moment?
Your voice is so good for this song; it has a tonal quality that's super similar to Lou Reed's

This is amazing dude! Thank you for this.
So well done! I am in awe.
You are fantastic! Very creative and well done cover.
What kind of machine was making that droning sound? Really cool. Nice job.
I really want to know too
Could be a sustain or freeze pedal
I once listened to this on a random music app and have been trying to find it for ever. I didn’t know it was a cover! So good. I remember it distinctly because you said business sounds instead of crazy sounds😂
Amazing cover of an amazing song!

Excelente escucharte tocar y cantar esta canción me emociona de verdad quisiera tocarla y cantarla cómo tú gracias por subirla felicidades.
Hey! I know this was 11 years ago. But is there any way you can tell me the chords for this one? I am 22 years old and I heard this song some 5 years ago. I am about to buy a guitar and this is one of the songs that I want to learn and play.
I hope you guys are doing good this 2020. Y'all stay safe!
D to G
Throw a couple of “Sus4’s” on the D once in a while. Easy peasy, you’ll get it!
nice one. Just wondering what you used to get that sustained violin noise???
q buen video
what did you use for the drone?
@ajgree6 Yeah no problem, being in the moment kinda works cause even if you screw stuff up it still works cause your feeling ties everything together you know? (not saying you screwed up haha) Sometimes passion is better than actual talent. Mix talent with passion and you got a good combo. That keyboard was a really nice touch too, good idea. I think too, that people without passion can't sing. Its easy to follow without passion but singing is hard to do without, you pulled it off though.
And all the dead bodies pilled up in town
great voice you should make a band awesome blues voice
I have the same guitar
you play D and G?oh and what tuning?
And I feel like a Jesús son
sounds so much like lou too holy shit
a how to play it would be awesome!
there are 2 chords mate..d and g :p
Where'd you find that background track?
Keyboard Warrior Old ass keyboard from the old ass store
it's standard tuning
am i going crazy why is everyone playing this song a half step up than the actual track i genuinely don’t understand. all of the chords and covers are all a half step up. great cover no criticism i just am genuinely confused
tuning?
Standard. D and G.
Ich glaube, Du weißt, worüber Du singst!
Is that midi choir droning on supposed to be the droning violin? Because it really adds nothing and it would've been better with just guitar, honestly
+Oziel Esparza I agree.
Certain versions are half a step down
Охуенно
this song is awesome.. one time i was so high u know ..with weed.. and i started crying and kind of happyness .. that sensation was really unusual , but i could say that it was kool and also the velvet underground they have amazing music. sorry for my english am fron colombia
this is a total rip off of a banana
