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.
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 TH-cam anyway.
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.
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 TH-cam 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.
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!
This really means a lot. It’s great to know this after all this time, people still connect with this cover I did right before I went to work dressed like Velma from Scooby Doo.
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!
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 !!
Oh comely I will be with you when you lose your breath Chasing the only Meaningful memory you thought you had left With some pretty bright and bubbly Terrible scene that was doing her thing on your chest But oh comely It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess In your memory you're Drunk on your awe to me It doesn't mean anything at all Oh comely All of your friends are all letting you blow Bristling and ugly Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes Of some pretty bright and bubbly Friend you could need to say comforting things in your ear But oh comely There isn't such one friend that you could find Here standing next to me only my enemy I'll crush him with everything I own Say what you want to say hang for your hollow ways Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me Your father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies While you and your mother were asleep in the trailer park Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums The music and medicine you needed for comforting So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving And pluck all your silly strings and bend all your notes for me Soft silly music is meaningful magical The movements were beautiful all in your ovaries All of them milking with green fleshy flowers While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines Smelling of semen all under the garden was all you were needing When you still believed in me Say what you want to say and hang for your hollow ways Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me I know they buried her body with others Her sister and mother and five hundred families And will she remember me fifty years later I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine Know all your enemies We know who our enemies are Know all your enemies We know who our enemies are Goldaline my dear We will fold and freeze together Far away from here There is sun and spring and green forever But now we move to feel For ourselves inside some strangers stomach Place your body here Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine
In a sea of crappy TH-cam 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
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.
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
😂😂
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 TH-cam anyway.
Thank you so much for checking out the music!
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.
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'm 6 years late but this is awesome
Thanks so much for watching!!!
I love how your voice has rasp to it but also smooth and relaxed at the same time
Thanks!!! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Your voice fits great with this song. You sound a lot like Cobain... great job! (:
how
Sounds a bit like a higher pitched Layne

one of the few neutral milk hotel cover's that actually do justice to the original, kudos
Missed the "HOLY SHIET" at the final
Ok, this cover is years old but oh my god your voice is perfect for this song
Amazing dude
My brother it's been 9+ years. And I'm just now finding you. Where ever you are. Keep going. Thanks for this
This is one of the few covers on TH-cam 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!!! :)
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.
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
one of the best covers of any song ive ever seen to be quite honest. cant believe i hadnt seen this yet.
If Shaggy and Velma had a child..
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.
My favorite song, and your voice covering it was so great, the raw folk feel, and awesome guitar playing. Amazing video.
I’m definitely late to the party but I just discovered this and it made me tear up. Beautiful.
Damn I remember watching this in middle school. It sounds even better know that I understand the lyrics more. Great cover☝🏼
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. 🎉
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!
the recommended page has done it once again
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!
Wow best cover of this song yet.
Good lord!!!!!
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.
Man, you have passion and talent
Sei un fenomeno, uomo. Ho le lacrime agli occhi. Magnificent!
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....
Sick cover bud! Just found this band recently and love them!
You're amazing man
Yep this is definitely the best one I’ve heard yet
This song is mesmerizing.
9 years later and this cover continues to move me to the ends of the earth
Sorry for the delayed response. Life has a habit of getting in the way of things. But from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Amazing voice
+SuperDuck in rainbows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful 10 years later
This really means a lot. It’s great to know this after all this time, people still connect with this cover I did right before I went to work dressed like Velma from Scooby Doo.
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!
Definitely the best cover version!
The fact you didn't use a lyric sheet is a impressive. Not to mention you fucking nailed the song, great stuff my guy
Thanks!
I’ve listened to this cover so many times that I’ve lost count! Love this so much, such a good voice and great playing
It's a difficult song to cover and you did it really well. Your voice is simple and sad and really enjoyable to listen to.
genuinely impressed
Dude, your voice is sick!
I love it!
fucking killed it
More neutral milk hotel covers please !!! This is so good
Excellent job, my brother. I can feel the spirit within you...
Very hard song to sing. You killed it.
I keep coming back to this cover, it’s just so good!!!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I could sing something that brings you happiness! :)
Dude.... fantastic
Damn great cover man. You've got the perfect voice for this
I can’t stop coming back to this cover your voice never ceases to put me in awe
This is legit so great. I never watch covers but this had me entranced. Great voice and passion and guitar skill. I hope I can get it down one day!
Great cover, sung beautifully
i still come back to this cover n it gives me goosebumps. well done man.
When I heard this song I thought it needed a bit more rasp and attitude. You brought that! Thanks!
perfection. you pulled off jeff's classic inflections and ornaments so well
Great performance. 💯
shivers!
i love this song. i love this cover
Your voice is great for this song!!!

Fantastic! And I just realised that I commented years ago. Regardless, great.
6:53 "Oh fuck, do I have to start all over again now?"
hahaha, yea I really didn't want to have start it all over again. I love the song, but damn is it long.
Amazing! This is my favorite song of theirs, and you definitely did it justice!
Enjoyed it very much
This is superb!
Beautiful cover man
One of the best covers I've heard of this song. Your voice is very unique and it goes well with this song. Great cover:)
Thank you so much!
This is fucking beautiful my friend
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 !!
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!
+mainunderground do "Three Peaches"
+mainunderground that'd be awesome!
Your voice is just excellent, man ! Don't you ever stop singing.
Holy SHIT this is really nice
good job buddy sounds great!
This is so good.
Angela Repentless Thanks! Glad to hear it!!
Really enjoyed this mate
I love this.
Holy crap! That was fucking magnificent!
Probably the best cover of any song I’ve ever heard, great job man!
Holy shit, awesome cover my man!
This is great
Oh comely
I will be with you when you lose your breath
Chasing the only
Meaningful memory you thought you had left
With some pretty bright and bubbly
Terrible scene that was doing her thing on your chest
But oh comely
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to guess
In your memory you're
Drunk on your awe to me
It doesn't mean anything at all
Oh comely
All of your friends are all letting you blow
Bristling and ugly
Bursting with fruits falling out from the holes
Of some pretty bright and bubbly
Friend you could need to say comforting things in your ear
But oh comely
There isn't such one friend that you could find
Here standing next to me only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own
Say what you want to say hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me
Your father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies
While you and your mother were asleep in the trailer park
Thunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The music and medicine you needed for comforting
So make all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
And pluck all your silly strings and bend all your notes for me
Soft silly music is meaningful magical
The movements were beautiful all in your ovaries
All of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
Smelling of semen all under the garden was all you were needing
When you still believed in me
Say what you want to say and hang for your hollow ways
Moving your mouth to pull out all your miracle for me
I know they buried her body with others
Her sister and mother and five hundred families
And will she remember me fifty years later
I wished I could save her in some sort of time machine
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Know all your enemies
We know who our enemies are
Goldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
Far away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But now we move to feel
For ourselves inside some strangers stomach
Place your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself with mine
Wow, this is amazing! Very moving, thank you
Like everyone else already said, fantastic cover and nice voice. Been listening to it for a couple of days now.
Really appreciate the comment
Probably my favorite cover of this song, really great job.
this is fucking dope

Great voice! Captures the mood of the original pretty well! :-)
