I'll be honest with you. I wasn't going to watch your video when it popped up in my feed because I didn't wanna watch the gender swapped version of Velma from Scooby Doo attempt to cover this song, but I watched anyway and I was pleasantly surprised. Good job man.
Came in expecting half-baked 4/10 cover. Got out knowing someone other than Jeff himself can perform the "I'll crush him with everything i owwwwwwwwn! Say what you want to say and..." part. Absolutely stunning cover.
All hail Jeff Magnum, all hail the king. On a side note this is probably the best cover of this song that's been recorded and uploaded to RUclips anyway.
I am a child of the 80s (1981) came of age in the 90s. i wept when kurt died. his voice doesn't really remind me of Kurt in any way shape or form. He's doing it like jeff does and doing it well. I think you missed the mark mark on this one unless you can point something that I am forgetting. but judging by the fact that you don't have a heart makes your comment which he seems to hand out like Chiclets I'd say he doesn't think so either.
This is one of the few covers on RUclips that Ive come back to time after time over the years. Truly a beautiful cover. Don't know if your active on here anymore, but just know, your incredible.
Thanks! I don't really sing in front of people to often, so the kind words are nice to hear....and I think I lost my voice immediately after this song.
Thanks for listening! I kinda messed up the words when I was really far into the song...but it was one of the last verses (maybe even the last one) and it was to late to go back!
A family member of mine recently passed, who I very dearly loved. I discovered neutral milk hotel in search of music to remind me of them, and I just wanna say; I love this cover so much. It’s absolutely beautiful, and I love this just as much as the original. Bravo, brother. 🎉
Awesome job brother! Not an easy tune to remember completely, but so cathartic when you do and go unconscious and let the words just happen. It's poetic muscle memory madness, and you nailed it!
Fuck yeah!!! That’s a difficult song just to sing. Let alone play guitar and sing with it. Mad commitment. You killed it brother. Cheers from North Carolina.
Thank you for the compliment and thanks for listening! I want to start posting more. I have been working on albums since recording this video! I just released a new EP “Marlboro Park” last year! It would be awesome if everyone would check it out. open.spotify.com/artist/05ns0yCuh6AE2D74y113aB?si=fJRiMAEHSqyI3Zj-rd9whQ&dl_branch=1
You are absolutely amazing! One of my favorite sings from them, and you covered it beautifully, which is hard to do for a Neutral Milk Hotel song. Keep it up !!
In a sea of crappy RUclips cover songs, this is refreshingly not bad. Kudos.
It's cause he do a perfect Jeff impersonation
This is refreshingly good! Lets be honest pls
The word you're looking for is "good"
“Not bad” lmao it is pretty great I’d say

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read. I approve of this message.
i felt this
This comment is your Jeff Magnum Opus, dude
Bruh
😂😂
I'm 6 years late but this is awesome
Thanks so much for watching!!!

Thank you so much for checking out the music!
You have a soft but husky voice which is a great combination for this song, and I for one think you nailed it!
Thank you so much! Jeff Mangum and Kurt Cobain have been huge influences on my music so that's nice to hear
I love how your voice has rasp to it but also smooth and relaxed at the same time
Thanks!!! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Missed the "HOLY SHIET" at the final
Your voice fits great with this song. You sound a lot like Cobain... great job! (:
how
Sounds a bit like a higher pitched Layne

Ok, this cover is years old but oh my god your voice is perfect for this song
Amazing dude
If Shaggy and Velma had a child..
Great cover.. 👏
This is one of the few covers on RUclips that Ive come back to time after time over the years. Truly a beautiful cover. Don't know if your active on here anymore, but just know, your incredible.
I don’t get to post to often. I’ve been working on a lot of solo stuff and life just sort of happens. I really appreciate the comment though!!! :)
Learning to play this song and singing it loud and proud is on my bucket list.
It's been 4 years, well, did you learn it😁?
He ded
I’m trying rn
Its very doable!
@@dantebaroncini6533bet you’re such a different person now hope you sang it everyday
wow! You managed the hardest part perfectly, Jwff cant do it sometimes!!! incredible voice
Nailed. It.
Total feel down to the spinetingley fantasticness of the original. No higher praise:)
Thanks! I don't really sing in front of people to often, so the kind words are nice to hear....and I think I lost my voice immediately after this song.
one of the few neutral milk hotel cover's that actually do justice to the original, kudos
My brother it's been 9+ years. And I'm just now finding you. Where ever you are. Keep going. Thanks for this
Wow you're brave to do this song, it's extremely fluctuating in pitch and the fact that it's 8 minutes:') Good job!
Thanks for listening! I kinda messed up the words when I was really far into the song...but it was one of the last verses (maybe even the last one) and it was to late to go back!
one of the best covers of any song ive ever seen to be quite honest. cant believe i hadnt seen this yet.
My favorite song, and your voice covering it was so great, the raw folk feel, and awesome guitar playing. Amazing video.
Damn I remember watching this in middle school. It sounds even better know that I understand the lyrics more. Great cover☝🏼
cheered me up in this trying time. great voice man.
Thank you so much. It makes me so happy to see people are still watching this video. Means a lot.
Definitely not an easy song to cover! Well done!
Thanks for the compliment! Sadly, folk beard has been lost since then as it was to much extra work to keep....beardy....
I’m definitely late to the party but I just discovered this and it made me tear up. Beautiful.
You're amazing man
Beautiful 10 years later
A family member of mine recently passed, who I very dearly loved. I discovered neutral milk hotel in search of music to remind me of them, and I just wanna say; I love this cover so much. It’s absolutely beautiful, and I love this just as much as the original. Bravo, brother. 🎉
the recommended page has done it once again
Sei un fenomeno, uomo. Ho le lacrime agli occhi. Magnificent!
I'm a huge NMH fan, our whole family is, and a lot of the people I play music with are as well. I know my NMH. That was awesome.
I think Jeff Mangum himself is the only one who could play that song as well as you just did, great job man! Love your voice!
Amazing voice
+SuperDuck in rainbows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9 years later and this cover continues to move me to the ends of the earth
Man, you have passion and talent
Wow best cover of this song yet.

Sick cover bud! Just found this band recently and love them!
You are one of the bright lights, my friend🔥
Awesome job brother! Not an easy tune to remember completely, but so cathartic when you do and go unconscious and let the words just happen. It's poetic muscle memory madness, and you nailed it!

Mind blown. Need to see if you've covered more neutral milk hotel songs!!!!
+Richard Oswald I haven't, but if you want I can definitely try to!
