Volcano [Damien Rice] - Raoul & Rian

This was outstanding! I loved it! Very very good performance. Perfect harmonies and great playing!

The Crowing [Coheed And Cambria] - This Conviction

Straight outta Canada, here we have an extremely convincing performance from Canadian duo This Conviction. Apparently this was a warm-up that they did backstage before a performance. Thanks for sharing it with the youtube-verse!

The Artist In The Ambulance [Thrice] - BionicPianoMan

The BionicPianoMan is quickly becoming my favorite for this blog. He puts out a lot of great cover songs! This video was done in a very unusual way (with the dim light from the window behind the PianoMan). Please listen and enjoy!

Delicate [Damien Rice] - seakins2 (Steve)

Here is a very true-to-the-original cover version of this song. The climax to the song is a pleasant surprise as Steve here gets the high notes with precision! If you're not familiar with Damien Rice or this song, with a surety you should check it out!

The Whaler [Thrice] - Grindian

This was nice. I enjoyed the acoustic version. The mysterious backing vocalist (off-camera) does a good job too!

Red Barchetta [Rush] - Jorge Felipe Montaldo & Mauricio Molina

I always loved this song. These guys do a great job. The harmonics throughout this song were my first introduction to the concept. It's good to see a singer willing to wear a hood and get really involved in the performance!

Hyperballad [Bjork] - Glausterball (Joey)

A while ago I posted a Hyperballad cover that was done with a keyboard and a wonderful female vocalist. Today I am happy to be sharing this amazing acoustic version with a great male singer! My advice to you is to watch this entire video. It gets better and better exponentially as the song progresses.

Music Box [Thrice] - BionicPianoMan

Amazing! The BionicPianoMan's best work yet! If you like Thrice, the Piano, or awesome music, then you'll die over this one! Those of you who don't know the song should be thoroughly convinced to listen to the original after watching this.

Falling [Ben Kweller] - Jonathan Chan

This one surprised me. I saw the kitchen backdrop and thought: "looks like he's ready to cook up a mediocre performance." But, I really liked it! He has a good voice and I actually love his look. It is an overall great performance and, of course, an excellent song!

Use Of Time [311] - arao2

I've always loved this song. I'm glad I came across this cover version. The guitar part is simple, but lovely. His voice is good, and has the added pleasure of guessing what his face looks like. Judging from the rest of the video, I would guess it is a violent shade of neon green, but I could be wrong. Thanks for playing arao2!

P.S. If any of you followers out there (you know who you are) have videos of your band or just yourself playing a cover song, please let me know. I would love to post it!

All My Loving [The Beatles] - amon247

I liked this. The piano part is pretty simple, and his voice is somewhat unique. Somewhere in there I hear some harmonies, and I'm not sure where they come from. Maybe you guys can tell me.

YYZ [Rush] - Band Of Kevins

So, this guy is pretty cool. He plays all the different parts of this tune separately and edits them all into the same video. He does a pretty great job too. Some of the song structure and guitar solos are not true to the original, but I'll look beyond that in light of the fact that he's created an army of clones to be his bandmates.

Time Is Running Out [Muse] - ortoPilot

Definitely the best cover I've heard of this song. This guy is awesome! He's got original stuff too, which will eventually pop up on here. If you like MUSE and you like MUSic then you MUSt listen.

I Believe I Can Fly [R. Kelly] - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

More from Me First. Gotta love the ukulele.

Distant Early Warning [Rush] - H-SUR

These guys are amazing! They sound just like Rush. A completely excellent job! You can see more from this artist here.

Hyperballad [Bjork] - Maquinal

If you can't tell, I love Bjork. I'm posting this Bjork cover mostly on the merit of the singer. To me that's the most important part of doing a Bjork song. The keyboard (harp) is nice though. It kinda Medieval-izes the song.

A Favor House Atlantic [Coheed And Cambria] - BionicPianoMan (Kyle)

Here's another tasty treat from the BionicPianoMan. If you enjoyed The Widow, you'll surely love this one!

On My Way [Ben Kweller] - David Hames

Known as "snuggletoe" on youtube, David Hames has done a bunch of cover songs. I went with the Ben Kweller because: A - I love Ben Kweller, 2 - David gives a great vocal performance, and D - The last post was Ben Kweller doing a cover... Enjoy!

Today [The Smashing Pumpkins] - Ben Kweller

Ben Kweller is awesome.

La Villa Strangiato [Rush] - Mauricio Molina & Jorge Felipe Montaldo

Wow! I would have never thought this song could work so well acoustic. It is all instrumental. They handle the dynamics well and the solo (which is one of my favorites of all-time) was masterfully done! If you are at all a Rush fan, you need to watch this.

Who Put The Bomp (In The Bomp, Bomp, Bomp) [Barry Mann] - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

These guys are awesome. The best cover band of all time. Check them out.

The Widow [The Mars Volta] - BionicPianoMan (Kyle)

This is an amazing instrumental version on the keyboard ("jazz organ" sound). Really, you'll like this. Especially if you know the song--fantastic melody!

All Is Full Of Love [Bjork] - VWai09

The faceless girl in the video has a beautiful voice and displays it on this excellent song. Sure, sure, the video placement may not have been perfect, but perk your ears for this pretty piece of music!

First Post: I Saw Her Standing There [The Beatles] - ortoPilot

To start things off with this blog I am doing a kind of double-under appreciated post. Firstly the musician here (ortoPilot) does a great job and deserves some recognition, and secondly the Beatles song is a little less known. Enjoy!
