I think this is the best cover of Street Spirit I've ever seen. Street Spirit is possibly my favorite song of all time, and if not, it's pretty close, and you did it justice. You are amazing.
You never cease to amaze me! I am absolutely memorized by your voice. No matter how stressful the day, I can always come and play one of your covers and just melt into a pool of relaxed goo!!! lol
Thank you, that means a lot. And don't worry, the only studio this is happening in is my home studio (hence part of the reason for needing to raiser funds - need recording equipment!). :) And my producer and collaborator is the love of my life, Larry, and he supports everything I do. And he knows how to bring out the best. But thank you for that. I will definitely do more 60s stuff. I have some cat stevens and simon & garfunkel I am excited to do soon. Nothing like those guys. :)
Your rendition of this song is better than the original, which was made by one of the most insanely genius groups of all time. You are very, very special. I had to contribute to your album. I can't wait to hear it.
I love all of your music, Brooke. I've been listening since I found youtube. When I heard your cover of Lil' Red Riding Hood on that tv show promo I yelled, I know that girl! I would love to hear some new stuff.
This might sound a little weird but I have been watching you since the beginning. I remember myself looking for you and Emma Russack, my favourite voices on youtube. I only want to say I can't wait to hear your records. Now I have start a little channel and wanna do covers and music. You inspire people! Never stop doing music! greets from spain.
I FINALLY can comment on the impact this cover has had! Your singing calms me down! I would listen to your covers before going into work every morning (especially this one)! Thank you and I cannot WAIT to hear what you have coming up! One of my sons has your name written on his wall organizer on his "epic music to get" list for about two years now!
Hi, I have listened to many versions of my favourite Radiohead song and would rate yours highest. You have captured the mood which essentially this song is all about. I am going to be posting a version of No Surpises soon. Radiohead always make me drift. Keep on keeping on.
wow, i didn't expect that you could ease on the echo/reverb or whatever, but your voice and sound is fab! now, i'm going to check out your other stuff!
I came back. You are simply amazing........Oh btw, strumming it instead of plucking it works just fine. I didn't come here to listen to Thom, I came to listen to Brooke.
God, you guys. Too nice. Thanks :) Originals aren't to a point where I would perform them live.. I'm just reclusively working away at my album little by little. If I don't lose my mind first, I hope it will be worth the wait.
It is such a blessing to listen to your voice. Thanks for being so real. I have to drop everything I'm doing when I hear a voice with such purity. You stopped me in my tracks at Little Red Riding hood. I wish you all the success you could ever want. Please keep up the beautiful work :)
@gratefuldank - thanks. I'm glad you found a way to get past it. I continue to hide behind a computer screen. :) As for originals, I am putting out an EP later this year. Stay tuned... visit me on the facebook to keep in the loop. :)
Omg!! This is so perfect I really like to see covers of this song I know when someone is good playing/singing or some song/cover is good but its very rare that i like one And you're cover is fantastic, i like the strumming that you use, the way you sing and i love you're voice. Keep doing music :') TwT love from Mexico
I am so honored to be on that list. :) And so honored to be a calming influence in your life. We all need more of that. I want to be a hypnotherapist one day, too, so it's kind of a double-compliment. :) Thank you for writing, and for sticking with me this long! Check out the links I just added in the info above, to keep in touch and even get some of my music if you want (it's by donation, a fundraiser for my upcoming 2012, first-ever real album!). Hope you'll come visit. :)
Thanks Ryan. I like playing with different ways of playing songs, and of course, though I can play the arpeggio version (there's actually an old video of me playing it, just the guitar part, no singing), it is difficult to sing and play it at the same time. I'm not the greatest guitar player by any means, so I find ways around, like just strumming it instead. Tried to make it as vibeful as I could and to make it my own. Thanks for commenting! :)
@furelise2798 - I'm in the process of licensing these covers so check back in a month or so and I'll have a link to where you can get them. Thanks fer asking! :)
@Hillbillytrucker Not touring due to working-motherhood plus crippling stage fright, but I am getting set up to start recording again! and I did just make a proper facebook page. UA-cam won't let me post the link, but just search "TheBrooke. TheBand." :)
Thanks everybodies! :) For those asking about buying my songs, I'm trying to figure out how to do it, but licensing all these covers, even a few, is beyond my budget. Looking into some kind of direct exchange donation type model instead... contact me if you have any ideas. And everyone, please join me at my facebook page - "TheBrooke. TheBand." :)
Thanks Symmanine (and everyone)! The chords are the same as the original, except strummed and using a capo (on the 3rd or 4th fret, I think)... Am + Em for verses and C, Em + Am for the chorus.
You know, an absolutely great (and hard to cover) Radiohead is Exit Music (for a Film). There is also a fantastic and well-edited music video on here for it that takes the original idea for the song and adds to it. That is something I would love to hear you cover...PPPPPPPPPlease!! (Roger Rabbit squeals...)
Cashcrandle - thanks for the first part of your comment. As to the rest, my hair is pretty irrelevant don't you think? no need to be so crude either.. geez.. b'sides, my hair's super long, it's just pulled back and the camera angle is weird. simmer down.
Thanks everyone for the sweet comments! gratefuldead76 -- I have not checked it out yet, no. It's weird. I keep forgetting. Soon though, I'm sure. You?
Although i love the original arpeggio of thom i think that you did a fantastic job strumming chords rather than playing the original arpeggio. Annd i said this on your fpt cover you have a beautiful voice
I agree with the other comments though: I wish you could do a fingerpicking version...hard as it is. I know you know how, since you put out the "how to play" version. Anyway, this has always been a favorite of mine to play. I'd love to show you my version, but I presently have no webcam...
Years later and this is still my favorite version of this song, even when considering the original. Still blows me away.
enigmaofamigara x2
it's my favourite version
So wonderfull with these small nostalgic treasures hidden in time.
Your voice actually made me cry. Love from China
your voice does this song JUSTICE .. really nice .. perfect
Thank you :)
Its 9:15 in the eveningon April 24th, 2023, just letting you know that 15 years later, this is still amazing.
This is what i was looking for , a strummed version! superb!
Oh man, this brings me back. Used to pretty much have this cover on constant loop back in 07 - 08. Rediscovered it now! Still just as mesmerizing.
Aww, wow, thanks Oskar :) I've got some later stuff on soundcloud you might also enjoy.

Checking it out now, thanks! :)

You are absolutely wonderful. I listen to your videos all the time around the house...
the reason I got so heavily into radiohead, I always return here for comfort
damn, my Canadian heritage foils me again.. I need to get with the times. er.. the place.
You never cease to amaze me! I am absolutely memorized by your voice. No matter how stressful the day, I can always come and play one of your covers and just melt into a pool of relaxed goo!!! lol
could watch this over and over and over. sooooo good. soooo perfect. thanks for posting! cant wait for more! :)

Your voice is hauntingly beautiful. Your guitar strumming is beyond brilliant. Keep it up girl!!
i cant belive i found this song after about 8 years
thank you
as if no one has commented on this for 3 years! mental! simply amazing xx
The best cover for this song...
The the reverb sounds so damn good with this song and your voice.
Your rendition of this song is better than the original, which was made by one of the most insanely genius groups of all time. You are very, very special. I had to contribute to your album. I can't wait to hear it.
this is one of my fav radiohead songs, and u did it very well. VERY VERY well.
Great performance, great rendition, imho. Certainly true to the spirit of the song. Yay!
Your voice is simply amazing!
I love all of your music, Brooke. I've been listening since I found youtube. When I heard your cover of Lil' Red Riding Hood on that tv show promo I yelled, I know that girl! I would love to hear some new stuff.
you really are amazing
and i dont say that lightly
your voice is sublime
You have a very haunting voice. Beautiful. Matches the song's theme.
This might sound a little weird but I have been watching you since the beginning. I remember myself looking for you and Emma Russack, my favourite voices on youtube.

I am amazed at the intensity of your music and all the emotions it brings. You are a true talent and nice to listen too.
Cheers from Texas.
Thanks so much! I'm not sure where it comes from... The 90s perhaps?.. And my soul. Thank you. :)
thebrooke I would love to hear you cover Cry Baby Cry, by the Beatles. That wonderful voice of yours would take that song to another level.
I love love love it! Bravo!
this is your best cover and its very very very pleasing to listen.

I FINALLY can comment on the impact this cover has had! Your singing calms me down! I would listen to your covers before going into work every morning (especially this one)! Thank you and I cannot WAIT to hear what you have coming up!

Originals aren't to a point where I would perform them live.. I'm just reclusively working away at my album little by little. If I don't lose my mind first, I hope it will be worth the wait.

@benstan48 - I will put those on my list of requests!
i can hardly believe this is is real, impressed impressed impressed
Like your metronomically swaying pendants behind you, i was gently moved by this one, B.
Your sound is oh so on.
Not unlike your shining :)
Wow!!!
Damn you're good...
This is one of my favorite songs :)
i really miss your covers u.u
Great stuff :) You should cover some Shin songs from chutes too narrow, or some more Beck that'd be cool !
yes. yes you may.
Thanks very kindly, everyone.
It could happen. Not doing covers for awhile, but someday. :)
@Hillbillytrucker Not touring due to working-motherhood plus crippling stage fright, but I am getting set up to start recording again! and I did just make a proper facebook page. UA-cam won't let me post the link, but just search "TheBrooke. TheBand." :)
This version makes me feel like I'm floating between our universe and another one
You rock!
@benstan48 - that would be mental! but I just reopened these videos to comments last month, in preparation for my big comeback. :)
love the way you sing this song,great version,
hope you don't mind me sending you my cover of this song also !!! by the way 5 stars to you !!

This seems so much longer that 4 minutes. In a good way.
This young lady has talent
Sooo good
C:
beautiful! love your voice, in some parts the vocals are a bit quiet and getting drowned out. But still, amazing!
Cashcrandle - thanks for the first part of your comment. As to the rest, my hair is pretty irrelevant don't you think? no need to be so crude either.. geez.. b'sides, my hair's super long, it's just pulled back and the camera angle is weird. simmer down.
Thank you! If you want Mp3s, check out the link below the video! :)
Thanks everyone for the sweet comments!
gratefuldead76 -- I have not checked it out yet, no. It's weird. I keep forgetting. Soon though, I'm sure. You?
still great as every brooke :)
@VelvetBeauty17 - Requests, noted! Thanks :)
nice voice...
