\"Counting Blue Cars\" by Dishwalla "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 319 seconds

Cover of the song "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla. Another band that has tons of amazing albums worth of material, but this is the only song people have heard by them (for the most part).
If you like this, go buy some of Dishwalla's other material! =D

I just ran across the music video on VH1 and I had forgotten how screwed up it was, heh. Anyway, hope you enjoy my performance - I'm off to the movies.

\"Clocks\" by Coldplay "Clocks" by Coldplay
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 303 seconds

Cover of the song "Clocks" by Coldplay. Not sure how well it translates to just an acoustic version, but damn it I can't play the piano very well. =P
Oh, and that's my phone that goes off about 3/4 into the movie - thanks, Kelly!

\"Shallow\" by Porcupine Tree "Shallow" by Porcupine Tree
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 259 seconds

Not really a cover, just playing along with the track "Shallow" by Porcupine Tree. AFAIK this is the correct way to play it, so maybe this could help somebody who's struggling. =D

\"One Thing\" by Finger Eleven "One Thing" by Finger Eleven
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 289 seconds

Cover of a song called "One Thing" by Finger Eleven. Now I'm not that familiar with this song, but it was a request and I have some of the band's early albums so why the heck not.
Hope ya like it.

\"The World I Know\" by Collective Soul "The World I Know" by Collective Soul
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 194 seconds

Cover of the song "The World I Know" by Collective Soul.. I know I'm biased because I grew up with this band among others as the background music to my life, but I really think they are so terribly underrated as musicians.
So, as Ali G would put it, "Respect!"

\"Hallelujah\" by Leonard Cohen "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 228 seconds

Cover of the song "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen but played more in Jeff Buckley fashion. Somewhat condensed as i don't want to bore anyone to death!
If you want to hear some of your personal favorites I'll be glad to try and cover them, just write me a comment or something! ;)

\"Closing Time\" by Semisonic "Closing Time" by Semisonic
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 280 seconds

Cover of the song "Closing Time" by Semisonic, also trying to experiment a bit with the camera to get a better picture.. but I think what I really need is a better camera!
I'm really surprised that requests are already coming in - thought it would take a while, but keep 'em coming please.. gives me motivation to learn some new songs. Thanks to everyone that has watched my videos!

\"Mad World\" by Tears for Fears "Mad World" by Tears for Fears
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 265 seconds

Cover of the song "Mad World" by Tears for Fears, made even more popular by the cult classic Donnie Darko.. this song is sad and uplifting at the same time.. hard to put your finger on.
This was my first request, hope you enjoy it! If anyone has another you know how to reach me. ;)

Cover of the song "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Justice to the song cannot possibly be done with just an acoustic guitar but here's my go at it anyway.

\"Blackbird\" by The Beatles "Blackbird" by The Beatles
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 130 seconds

Cover of the song "Blackbird" by The Beatles.. Written by Paul McCartney, this song is beautiful and timeless - and although I couldn't possibly do it justice, here's my attempt. =D
I'm not playing this absolutely correctly, and am aware of that.. just in case anyone wants to leave a comment to that effect.

Video duration: 249 seconds

Cover of a song called "Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam" by The Vaselines, also covered by Nirvana - this version is a sort-of combination of the two versions.

\"Street Spirit\" by Radiohead "Street Spirit" by Radiohead
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 247 seconds

Cover of the song "Street Spirit" by Radiohead. I love playing this song, even though it always manages to slip me up somewhere - and this rendition is not without its fair share of mistakes.
..It's a bit slower than the original, and tuned 1/2 step down for anyone trying to follow along. Thanks for listening!
