I clicked on this video with the expectation of it not being good, because let's face it: it's pretty damn difficult for anyone to do a Radiohead cover and make it even semi-decent. But dude, you totally blew me away with this! You put your own little spin on it-- no instruments, just strictly a capella, and it turned out to be fantastic. I'm definitely sharing this on Facebook!
Wow, that's a high, high compliment! Thanks so much, Chris! Good Radiohead covers are hard to come be. I try to stick to the original source material as close as I can.
Wow, thanks so much, Krnflakgrl, again! I really need to make a Radiohead song soon. I'll be working on a cover of Nude with a friend sometime next month. :)
Jer, you cant get rid of me. This is my favorite Radiohead song and this version is the f*ng s*ht. Keep it up man! This video deserves 100x more views.
Haha, I would never want to get rid of you, JTHX-1138! I'm honored beyond words that you love my cover of this song. Thank you so much, and all I want to see is more of you around here :D
Meh, it sucks... just kidding! XD I'm really glad you like it, Tape Diaries! I was really pleased with how my vocals turned out for the lead vocals and harmonies - it felt very Thom-York-ish. :) It felt true to the emotion of the song.
Ooo, you found my album! If you want to listen to the whole thing it is here: soundcloud.com/jaron-davis/sets/dark-forest And if you want a signed copy, let me know. :) Extra bonus points for relating my work to the Beach Boys! They're a major influence on my music (esp. SMiLE), and were a strong influence on this album in particular (though the harmonies in Animals were more directly inspired by Queen's The Prophet's Song). Thanks!
Wow this is brilliant. I can't stress enough how much I love your covers. Your voice works brilliantly for the song as well. Such a melancholy song (in a good way).
Corey Holt I think I've seen other a cappella versions of this song, but I'll have to search for them again... I'm really glad you like my versions! Thanks!
yeah, maybe i'll fiddle around with it! i've always wanted to make an a capella video too, what software do you use? like how do you split the screen haha
You should :) Most of the time I used an old copy of Adobe Premiere, but for this video, I used a trial version of PowerDirector 13. For editing the audio, I've been using Cubase to mix, and a Presonus Box to capture the audio.
Yaaaayyy, thanks, Jessica! :D Radiohead covers are some of my favorite ones to make, as they're one of my favorite bands (3rd place behind Beatles and Bowie). I've made...5 covers so far? And there are more on the way - the next one will likely be "Nude."
@@jeskahpaige2678 Thanks so much! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love Bowie and how devastated I was when he suddenly passed in early 2016. I've tried to do a Bowie cover every January ever since (missing last January unfortunately). I've done Starman, Sound and Vision, Changes, and As the World Falls Down. I've also done a some oddities such as "David Bowie Sings Love Me Do," "Space Oddity David Bowie Impression," "Bowie sings Goodbye Moonmen," and a full on "David Bowie Impressions" video. There are so many more of his I wish to tackle...I'm currently working on "Kooks," which was originally slated for January of this year, and I hope to tackle "Black Star" at some point.
Dear Jaron -- That was gorgeous and you're so talented! I was inspired to write an 8-part vocal harmony and piano arrangement to "I Will" and will be uploading it soon. Such a great song leads to our collective devotion!
That sounded just excellent. I got a while to go before I reach your latest video but I'm looking forward to listening to the Ballad of the wind fish song when I get there.
@@JTHX-1138 Once again, I'm pleased that your back! When I get a comment like "I don't like acapellas normally, but...," it's very meaningful - I feel like I must be doing something right. :)
so many thumbs up so many comments so good quality but so few views, that s interesting. appreciate your work. very appropriate song and well played. cheers :)
+ibrahim öztürk Yeah, this one snuck up on me! I meant to put it out there as a stop-gap measure, but it has gotten so much love for as few views as it has gotten, thanks to my amazing fans! You're one of them. :D
By the by, if you have any requests, I'm doing a new "official requests" thing on my website. I'd love to have your input on what you'd like to hear. :)
Thanks! I feel a certain way about this song...like it's talking about negative experiences during a war; but I'm sure there are a lot of interpretations out there.
+Nick Tryfonas I'm not sure, but I'd love for you to be a part of that, by sharing my videos! I'm glad to have fans like you; thanks so much for watching!
Such an underrated tune
Definitely!
Yeah :)
it's a bop
Favorite song by radiohead. This is great
+shamar williams This is definitely one of my favorites. Thanks for watching!

Jaron Davis OMG! I can't wait.. Seriously! I'm gonna see if I can find you on FB and follow you.. If you're on there...
It's going to be really awesome! I can't wait to get back to doing some Radiohead covers again. :)

@@JTHX-1138 I look forward to it! :D
@@JaronDavisthe harmonies tho… chefs kiss 🔥
This is stupidly good
Thanks for that! I really need to make another Radiohead cover, especially with the release of their latest.
and can i just say...this gave me chills. the deep voices harmonizing. spectacular. literal gooosebumps.
TheFinalMagi I have succeeded then! Thanks, TheFinalMagic, I love the deep harmonies in this song.
I am speechless.
Moved to tears.
Beautiful.
Aw, thanks so much, Amy!
I'd love to see you do spinning plates, the live version with the piano line
I'd love to give it a try. :) Thanks!
omg how am i finding this cover out so late. its wonderful dude!
THIS IS SO DAMN AMAZING. one of my favorite Radiohead songs. awesome dude
MrBEARDEDLEGEND I know; I love this song! Thanks for listening :D
I love how left-up corner Jaron just keeps staring around sadly until his part comes in at 1:05!
Lol! It fit the tone. :)
Omg SO AMAZING YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT HOW AMAZING THIS IS
Meh, it sucks... just kidding! XD I'm really glad you like it, Tape Diaries! I was really pleased with how my vocals turned out for the lead vocals and harmonies - it felt very Thom-York-ish. :) It felt true to the emotion of the song.
This should have so many more views. You nailed it man.
+Matt Cavanagh Yay, thanks, Matt! It's not doing too bad in the view department, but of course, I always appreciate more :)
Yes dude! This is great. One of my favorite Radiohead songs. I've been meaning to cover it for so long but never got around to it. Great job.
Rob Carroll Awesome; thanks, Rob! I would love to hear you cover this song. Let me know if you do!
sure thing dude!
Awesome :)
Very well done. 10/10!
AustinBrock Thanks so much! :D
You have a habit of making me fall in love with songs I'd previously never heard before...
+Unbroken Software, LLC That's absolutely fantastic. I will keep doing that as long as I can; thanks so much, Unbroken!
Jaron Davis, your album's track 2 ("Animals") preview is insane. Thank you very much for that.
(It's relatable to Beach Boys but truly unique)

I'm a huge Radiohead fan, great cover Jaron!
F1shard Me too! Thanks, F1shard!
i got chills!
+Nick Tryfonas Awesome!
This is awesome! Great, great job, Jaron. Greetings from Colombia!
+Fabio Jiménez Greetings! Thanks so much! Radiohead is one of my favorite groups. I love them more than I can readily express in a single YT comment.
Beautiful! I've always wanted to see this put into a capella, nice work.
Corey Holt I think I've seen other a cappella versions of this song, but I'll have to search for them again... I'm really glad you like my versions! Thanks!
really? well maybe i'll just make one myself. but i sat down and realized i can't sing this song in 2 octaves haha. kudos again!
Corey Holt You can always transpose one of the pieces an octave to make it fit. I do that sometimes. I'd love to hear it :)
yeah, maybe i'll fiddle around with it! i've always wanted to make an a capella video too, what software do you use? like how do you split the screen haha
You should :) Most of the time I used an old copy of Adobe Premiere, but for this video, I used a trial version of PowerDirector 13. For editing the audio, I've been using Cubase to mix, and a Presonus Box to capture the audio.

+Iritzia Sigala so welcome to listen some of my acapella music too ;-)
+Iritzia Sigala Thanks so much! :D
Man this is an amazing cover. Thanks for posting it. I just found out the meaning of this song and it is truly haunting.
You're very welcome! What is the meaning of this song?
Looks like a lot of fun. Amazing job. One of my favorite Radiohead songs
It was - for sure - and it's one of mine as well. Thanks for watching, Justin! :D

Wow, thank you so much, Linda! I'm really looking forward to hear what you come up with; please ping me when you upload it. :)
Absoluty beatiful covers.! ❤

***** Thanks! Any new videos in the works?
Jaron Davis Yes! Today is my last workday before vacation. So now I finally have some time to record
+MrMacke Awesome!
Best cover of this song I have ever heard. Totally killed it. Beautiful.

Hats off man.... Well done. Sheer Brilliance.
Thanks! I really, really need to do more Radiohead covers.
Nicely done! It's a great song and you did it justice.
Thank you so much! I love covering Radiohead songs. :D
completely amazing in every way! Amazing work Jaron
Ember Titan Awesome; thanks, Ember!
That sounded just excellent.
I got a while to go before I reach your latest video but I'm looking forward to listening to the Ballad of the wind fish song when I get there.
***** Thanks, Kratos! You won't be disappointed with the Wind Fish theme; I had a lot of fun making it. :)
Personal favourite of mine; you have nailed it.
Same here! Thanks so much!
Cara... Bonito demais! ! !
Muito obrigado!
A fucking masterpiece. Congratulations from Peru.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Many thanks, coming from Illinois!
I love how you're present in your comment section! Answering all comments :D
Thanks so much, Juliette! I love how my response was epically late. XD In any case, thanks so much for watching!
i searched hoping to find a video exactly like this! yes!! thank you
Awesome! Thanks for watching! I've done 4 other Radiohead videos as well - Amnesiac / Morning Bell might be my favorite. :)
@@JaronDavis I will be sure to check them out
@@ZachJenkins Awesome :)
Soothing and beautiful. Outstanding work, my friend.

I normally dislike acapella covers, but this was great my dude
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jeremy - thanks so much!
@@JaronDavis back here a year later and it is on my recommended again. Still love this!

Recommended again. I confirm this still, in fact, slaps harder than Will Smith
How could I miss this one? O.o
Very well done! It sounds great! :)

Loved this cover. I think it'd be perfect for you to do a cover of Radiohead's Cuttooth. It has Thom's best vocal performance in my humble opinion.
+Saleem Karim Thanks! I'm surprised...I don't think I've heard that one... I'll have to look it up. :)
+Jaron Davis it's a fantastic b-side, and this video is amazing :D
Thanks! I still need to look it up... Soon!
Great stuff. Well done on a decent acapella piece - not easy
Thanks, yaisit2! It's never easy, but surprisingly, this was one of my easier pieces to record. :)
aplausos de pie desde Argentina!
¡Muchas gracias!
As a hardcore Radiohead fan,Respect from me ! Good job :)

Marcos Yorke Thanks!
Awesome!
Could someone explain this song?
Thanks! I feel a certain way about this song...like it's talking about negative experiences during a war; but I'm sure there are a lot of interpretations out there.
I've heard it's about the Al-Amiriyah shelter bombing in Iraq during the first gulf war.
This is now my happy space.
And that makes my day all over again hearing that - thank you so much!
