ckygetz, this isn't just by Sherri. There is a recording that only Sherri did, but this is Sherri, Chauntelle, and Stacy playing it on a radio show (I like it a lot better than Sherri's version, too). Thanks so much for posting this, tbs287, it's so gorgeous.
Im really picky with NMH covers, but I must say, this is pretty well done. There's a notable difference between the two versions. The original is inhuman, and so strong (vocally and emotionally) This version is a sweeter take on the song, the voices sound almost like lullabies. I enjoyed. =]
oh, im not pretending :) the reason i got the title wrong is because the site i got it from said "AN" when apparently its "THE". so thats why i changed it. now lets leave it at that, shall we? oh. and by the way- i really appreciated your f-bomb you directed at me just because the title was wrong.
I think people get touchy about NMH covers because the songs are so personal to Jeff Mangum that they are really only properly performed by him or someone who can demonstrate the emotion (which is nearly impossible to do). As with Brand New's covers, this was competent, but there was no life in it.
@TheReverb1 I agree a little(emphasize "little") that the vocal is not excellent. But hey, I've listen to all Eisley songs and Their videos. Have you watch the video for "Memories" yet? If that's not called "creative" what it should be called? You just don't understand them, that's why you think they're not good. They have their own unique style and techniques. Not like the mainstream, they're all the same. With drugs, liquors, girls, and all those shit. Eisley always give me something to think
not terrible, but i don't think the intensity of nmh could ever be contained in any cover EVER. lacey is my favorite but mangum's voice is not humanly tangible.
@TheReverb1 That's good for me. But you can't say that someone who can play a song and make music has no talent. Because if someone can do that, they still got some talents. Even some slightest bit. But I'd say Eisley have talents. Check them out. If you say they have no talent, you probably have no ear at all or you have a narrowed-mind. A little advice, open it up!
@daggerls ...continue: understand a bit what s going on here. I just spent time watching 4 clips of Eisley...they lack of spirit, creativity, technique, etc its all based on vocals; is a vocal or coral group mounted with a band "clothes". Please check the video that the gals are playing in the studio the song called "invasion", check the bridge and some other parts of the song...very poor.
@daggerls ...hey fella happens that Im not your average commentator. Im a musician (I studied harmony, composition and even the dodecaphonic system) I can play several instruments and played in bands; I used to be stage manager and recorded few demos; plus, Im now studying recording techniques, mixing, etc; also I buy albums and go to the gigs. I have and play music in such different styles like classic, ethnics, r´n´r styles (surf, trash, punk, garage, noise, ) all these to say you that I u
ITS IN 3/4 if your going to cover a song atleast do it right. can you count? do you even listen to neutral milk hotel. or do you think theyre sweet because its MAD INDIE!!!! and you can be MAD INDIE TOO if you cover thier song. i never talk trash on people but. you guys amazed me.
I feel the same, but to be honest this is worse than I expected... I expected this to be amazing, but the vocals feel off-- like not the right notes at the parts where she's being monotonal... Like it feels like a steady wrong note. The harmony sucks too, but the parts with one singer doing the spicy stuff vocally sounds really good.
Chauntelle, Stacy!!
And of course Sherri.. ;)
yes!
Man, I love this. I love neutral milk hotel and I love eisley.
this is an amazing cover
This is a faithful and beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Thank you, Eisley.
wow their voices are so pretty
This is a really great cover of such a beautiful song. I'd never paid much attention to Eisley before but this song has piqued my interest.
Thanks for uploading this. I love this song but never heard this version. She has a lovely voice.
And one day we will die. ----)
superscript
aw i love this song!!! Yay Eisley :)
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
THIS IS WONDERFUL!
Very well done cover!
ckygetz, this isn't just by Sherri. There is a recording that only Sherri did, but this is Sherri, Chauntelle, and Stacy playing it on a radio show (I like it a lot better than Sherri's version, too).
Thanks so much for posting this, tbs287, it's so gorgeous.
Wow, I loved Eisley before, but now I have even more respect for them for making a Neutral Milk Hotel cover and making it REALLY well
Amazing vocals.
some girl made a really pretty piano cover of this song :) gotta look it up!! :D oh and ps your video is AMAZING :D:D
i like the Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum version best, but ill agree that this is the best cover of it on the internet.
Great video, 5 stars! =D
@Emmeroo7 aww, thanks! :) i made this ages ago haha, i'm glad people still like it!

mewithoutYou performed this song after they played at Emo's a while back. There's a video of it on youtube. Was great.
some girl made a really pretty piano cover of this song :) gotta look it up!! :D

Eisley floats my boat :D

I want the mp3 of this...anyone know where to find it? I'd give my left arm for it! The harmonies are so pretty.
not really gonna argue this. you obviously like eisley, so nothing will change your mind.
Is this song on a CD yet.
yeah seriously. i looove their clothes :)
wow, i love this. i dig the original better, of course. the girls' voices are so beautiful.
oh, im not pretending :) the reason i got the title wrong is because the site i got it from said "AN" when apparently its "THE".
so thats why i changed it. now lets leave it at that, shall we? oh. and by the way- i really appreciated your f-bomb you directed at me just because the title was wrong.
hahah! well thank you for correcting me and putting back on the path of not comitting crime against humanity.
could you possibly send a copy of the audio file of this?

but have you seen Lera Lynn's live performance? it is HAUNTED.
@TheReverb1
I'm neither an average commentator nor a fanboy. You got it?

Eisley always give me something to think

not terrible, but i don't think the intensity of nmh could ever be contained in any cover EVER. lacey is my favorite but mangum's voice is not humanly tangible.
