- About a month ago I set out to do a new cover video of one of my favorite songs. With everything going on I didn’t want it to just be me in my room this time. It started with just Andrea and I, as always, and slowly turned into a small army of people I admire and respect. This has been one of the most joyous projects I’ve ever worked on. It’s nothing what I imagined it to be, and that’s the best part. It something I could have never done on my own. Here’s a cover of “Helplessness Blues” by Fleet Foxes, with some friends.
In genuine tears. Thank you. This was so beautiful.
This deserves so much more attention than its getting. Its amazing!!!
wow this is so beautiful, the collective power that's displayed here... incredible
Fantastic!
On a regular basis I come back to watch this video. Am I a little biased as my niece Emma Cole is one of the singers? Sure! However, realistically Payden what you created is by far the most amazing collaborations I have seen. I am proud of and grateful for each of the people in this video.
One of my absolute favorite songs of all time, perhaps the song of the 2010s. Beautiful layering of the voices and instrumentation!
Godspeed all you gorgeous people!
GENIAL!!
I can't describe in words how much I love this cover
Wow. Speechless. Fantastic job everyone
Wow the production is just gorgeous
This is fantastic. This town has so many wonderful musicians. This video is going to take off. Just give it some time. Really well done.
it is an amazing community effort in solidarity, and very impressive that payden was able to organize so many musicians to record this great song, and andres does a great job handling the daunting lead vocal. however the mix is too community forward. i imagine he wants everyone to be heard, but the emotional potency is lost in the enthusiasm of inclusiveness. i was going to send this to a new quarantine friend who has never heard the fleet foxes, but i’ll tell her about it and send her the original, or white winter hymnal, or tiger mountain peasant song, or he doesn’t know why, or blue spotted tail - which is my favorite. an attendant at a ‘healing power of music lecture’ my friend/collaborator was giving this past january volunteered what makes music popular is “giving the listener space to put their experience into the song.” there is not enough space in the mix. i want it to go viral in a special way, but as someone who spent 10 days professionally mixing his own music this past year, i strongly feel this needs a remix, one with the main vocal more forward than the chorus harmonies (which can use an effect) and the strings less forward. a collaborator who is a classically-trained violin player and making great music that is garnering a fan base said “violins/fiddles can ruin a song.” more space, more dynamics! too many cooks can ruin the soup... thanks for reading. great job! ✨🤍🪐💫
I caught this late last night on "Sounds on 29th" -- gorgeous work, everyone!
It's the mallet work on the Jim Beam that really ties the entire ensemble together. I still get goosebumps listening to this brilliantly crafted cover. Thank you all for creating and collaborating together. Thank you all for sharing
Well done, well done.
Jesus. 🤩

Payden, Debbie Widner Kern here - incredibly well done! I'd love to come listen to you play somewhere, once the pandemic is behind us. Though we live in the same neck of the woods, I haven't seen Jed since you were a very young boy. Maybe we could have a bit of a family reunion to hear you play :)

Could we buy the single somewhere to support local musicians?
Wow the banjo is amazing and the first woman is great but it must be hard to sing in that key through the whole song.
