It's funny because as soon as he began strumming I paused the video to check the hate comments, and yours described very precisely what happened afterwards.
I just want you to know that once I sent this video to a distant friend of mine, and now, everytime I come back here, your beautiful rendition reminds me of her and the time we spent together. Music unites people, and you're part of this circle, my friend. Greetings from Brazil.
Fatal_Fleisch just heard it! And she got help from other musicians like I side this is a most soulful version. Dude only with the guitar and I didn’t like the technique she used to sing the song
This remains the only Radiohead cover I come back to instead of just listening to the original. You truly add something to the song and that's probably the biggest compliment I can think of.
This. All heart. I can't articulate how beautiful this is. Also, I find music binding and all of us that feel the music are bound. Beers on me if you're ever in Chicago. Very, very well done.
the way he starts with the muted and quieter strumming and slowly builds up, incorporating more bass notes is what makes this cover amazing (and his voice ofc)
I’m probably responsible for about 100k of these views, I’m a huge radiohead fan but this cover is awesome. I doth my hat to you Mr Daniels, more radiohead covers please!!
I'm always so amazed by this video & utterly confused how it doesn't have millions of views. By chance ever going to release a TAB of this? The greatest acoustic rendition of this majestic song.
No offense dude, but if you havnt found a tab or figured it out by now, you could try simply just looking at his finger position to determine which chords he is playing and figure it out on your own :)
@@Operator11B I do mean offense by this. I have looked at this & had another musician look at his chords. Still a little confusing & hence why I asked this question. Lol you really just asked "bro, you know you can look at his chord positions"
It’s just the standard part that ed plays, except he’s strumming it instead of playing it in triplets. It’ll be the first result for “weird fishes tab”
One of the few Radiohead covers I really like... You maintained the distinctive musical ascent of the original, which I think is a phenomenal effort when playing this song acoustic
Hello Simon! I have to say that your version has accomplish the mission of a cover: Make feel the audience the song belongs to you... You haven't remind me of Radiohead at all... Your voice is flawless and beautiful... Such a terrific cover you made pal!!! Keep going!!!
being a big Radiohead fan, this is by far one of the best covers done for such an awesome song! big up Simon! keep up the good work man! hope to see you live someday in Mauritius! cheers and good luck :)
the original song changed my life and this just killed me and i love this version so much wow you're awesome. wow. please never ever stop singing and making music.
42 year old father of one ( form identify) love your version of this amazing song, love it, your song will accompany on my journey!!! Best wishes Dan x
lyrics: In the deepest ocean The bottom of the sea Your eyes They turn me Why should I stay here? Why should I stay? I’d be crazy not to follow Follow where you lead Your eyes They turn me Turn me into the phantoms I follow to the edge Of the earth And fall off Yeah, everybody leaves If they get the chance Of leave This is my chance I get eaten by the worms And weird fishes Picked over by the worms Weird fishes Weird fishes Weird fishes I hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape I hit the bottom Hit the bottom and escape Escape
Really beautiful and soulful rendition. And even tho it is a unique take on such a flowing, intricate song, you still really captured the feel and beauty of it. Your voice is exceptional, showing both strength in the Ed O'Brien background, and finesse with the falsetto parts. Super-well done! I'll be coming back to this version often!! Thanks!
C'est vraiment super ce que tu fais, tu dégages quelque chose de profond vocalement et sur ton jeu de guitare. J'espère sincèrement avoir l'occasion de voir un de tes live.
My interpretation of this song is pretty much of a sick blurred mind in the dilemma between living or abandoning life, "your eyes" representing the beauty of the other side in relation to this... You completely recontextualized it in my head the moment I read u played it in a church. Congrats for the performance thou!
It's rare for someone to take a Radiohead song, make it their own, and still kick ass. You are a rarity. Amazing, amazing work.
Uniqe and outstanding simply not the common type of person ....Sos grande
amazing
thats just what he did man. wow
I was fully prepared to hate this when you started strumming in the beginning. Alas, I did not. Well done!
Exactly this!
idem

This
you took an incredibly complex song and captured its essence. so well done. thankyou
The way I never get tired of watching this cover... It’s been 3 years
Well playEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
cringe
Hahaha awesome
I absolutely love his reference to Jigsaw Falling Into Place (2:47). Incorporating a reference through a strumming pattern is so savvy. Amazing cover!
I want a full hour of whatever happened at 1:58, that was beautiful.
Whew!
may Thom be proud of you
For real. Such a strong representation of a beautiful song.
I just want you to know that once I sent this video to a distant friend of mine, and now, everytime I come back here, your beautiful rendition reminds me of her and the time we spent together. Music unites people, and you're part of this circle, my friend. Greetings from Brazil.
Come to braziiiiil
There's a lot of covers of this song, and this is the simpliest, and soulful version in youtube. The best cover of Weird Fishes
Sebastián Reyes couldn't agree more
There's a guy with a loop pedal cover which is absolutely amazing, this one is close second though.
Update, I think liane LA havas has made a better one

Pain in each strum but not in his voice. So beautiful
This. All heart. I can't articulate how beautiful this is. Also, I find music binding and all of us that feel the music are bound. Beers on me if you're ever in Chicago. Very, very well done.

I've listened to this for two years now and it's still the best a RH cover I've heard.
Still listening 7 years later.
I kinda liked how u integrated Ed’s parts to the song
I’m probably responsible for about 100k of these views, I’m a huge radiohead fan but this cover is awesome.

@@hichaelmartline I really didnt mean for it to sound like that. My bad. Maybe this weekend I can figure it out and get back you.
@@hichaelmartline There’s a chance its not standard tuning as well, but from what I can tell, it sounds like it is
It’s just the standard part that ed plays, except he’s strumming it instead of playing it in triplets. It’ll be the first result for “weird fishes tab”
holy shit, i wasn't ready for this jewell.
Incredible cover. I love when people make songs their own.
My favourite cover of one of my favourite tunes. You smashed it mate!
One of my absolute favourite RUclips covers. I keep revisiting. ❤️
One of the few Radiohead covers I really like...
You maintained the distinctive musical ascent of the original, which I think is a phenomenal effort when playing this song acoustic
daaaaaing... wasnt expecting much from a dude with just a guitar doing weird fishes, but you my man.... you got this.
Good one man, you covered one of hardest song of hardest one covered band. Respect
Jasper Bens If you mean in tachnical way, you're right
But I talk about pathos
your cover is beautiful! I keep coming back to this video and it has been 4 years since I have discovered it!
good man. it seems weird at the beginning, but then it starts to flow and could catch the mood. great cover!
How has this not got more views, this is a great cover. Hats off to anyone trying to cover Radiohead, Thom's emotive voice and not murder it.
I keep coming back to this. so good
OMG, it's beautiful, I like your version. It's very difficult to play this song with guitar only and it comes out perfect. congratulations
Hello Simon! I have to say that your version has accomplish the mission of a cover: Make feel the audience the song belongs to you... You haven't remind me of Radiohead at all... Your voice is flawless and beautiful... Such a terrific cover you made pal!!! Keep going!!!
your video showed up in my suggestion feed... youtube did good; this was a wonderful performance, Simon, delightful!
being a big Radiohead fan, this is by far one of the best covers done for such an awesome song!
big up Simon! keep up the good work man!
hope to see you live someday in Mauritius!
cheers and good luck :)

i was surprised when i didn't hear the arpeggio, but gosh this great! i loved how you used chords and your voice was amazing
you are seriously amazing. this is unreal beautiful
One of my favourite covers of any song, brilliant, emotional and powerful!
lyrics:
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I’d be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me into the phantoms
I follow to the edge
Of the earth
And fall off
Yeah, everybody leaves
If they get the chance
Of leave
This is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
I hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
I hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
thom kills it with the lyrics
Powerful. Love this. So decisive. Beautiful interpretation. Thank you.
this is really nice cover of this song. Captures the essence and brings a fresh take. Hard thing to do with any Radiohead.
8 years ago. Wow. Time flies
Man, you nailed it! So beautiful. Thank you so much for being you!
Guess he forgot the whole “arpeggi” part :/
nah I’m kidding it’s a good cover
Such a beautiful cover, congratulations 👏🏻
I cant stop hear this cover !
by far the best cover ive seen from this song and maybe even from radiohead songs in general
You should check out Lianne La Havas's version
That was an ambitious cover and you nailed it. Beautiful version.
Beautiful. Just Beautiful.
Weird Fishes is one of my favorite songs- all time. Without a doubt- this cover is one the best I’ve seen on YT, and I’ve seen plenty.
This is one of my favourite songs and now you made one of my favourite covers. I cried a bit, lol not gonna lie.
Really beautiful and soulful rendition. And even tho it is a unique take on such a flowing, intricate song, you still really captured the feel and beauty of it. Your voice is exceptional, showing both strength in the Ed O'Brien background, and finesse with the falsetto parts. Super-well done! I'll be coming back to this version often!! Thanks!

As a Radiohead fan, I loved this. You caught the soul of it.
Went way over my expectations. Great cover. Love the build up with the strumming.
This is my all time fav Radiohead song. Well done, man. Sounds fantastic.

I got goosebumps from this cover. Very well done!

This is an exceptional version of a great song. You should be very pleased with this. Vocals and guitar both flawless.
You're incredible. This is incredible. Incredible.
My interpretation of this song is pretty much of a sick blurred mind in the dilemma between living or abandoning life, "your eyes" representing the beauty of the other side in relation to this... You completely recontextualized it in my head the moment I read u played it in a church. Congrats for the performance thou!
The falsetto at the end was a brilliant and beautiful way to end the song.
