He perfectly performs two songs that are perfect for singing in a car. Crash and Fast Car. All that's missing is Drive by The Cars. Drive by Incubus would work as well. I have no doubt he would own both of those songs. I've yet to hear a song or cover by Alexander Mills that hasn't at least been a 9/10.
My mom just passed away a couple of weeks ago. She was one of DMB's biggest fans. I was waiting until we got together again so I could show her this cover. I know she would have loved it ❤.
This is definitely the best cover ever heard of this song. This song is one of those iconic plays. This cover honors the original but allows you to enjoy the differences. 👏
@@AlexanderMillshave you listened to any Elliott Smith? You remind me of my father he plays guitar really well and i suggest songs all the time! Elliott has tricky tuning methods for his songs
@@PiglipsMaximus I like Elliot Smith! Great artist. I’ve never covered his music though. I might sit down and try to work out a couple of his songs. ✌🏾😎
Jonathan Patterson thanks Jonathan. It’s very unique and haunting. I love Dave Matthews. This song is also very close to my heart so I guess it translates when I play it. Thanks so much for your kind words. ✌🏾
Yeah I see that with just about every Dave Matthews cover, they seem to miss the soul Dave puts in the song even if it is a good cover. There is something very unique about Dave’s songs and his voice that makes you feel a certain way. That’s why I don’t usually watch covers, but this does his music justice. Great Job!
Ok I usually don't write posts like this and I usually avoid covers of this song, it has a lot of meaning for me. But I'm so glad I did. Thank you for an amazing cover of one of my favourite songs.
I've been a DMB fan since 1995, and there are many people covering their songs...though I have not heard every cover of this song, I have heard a lot and you, sir, have done this song justice. I really love the raw emotion and your interpretation of this great song. Congrats!
I clicked on this thinking "Eh how good can it be?" One of my fav songs ever and u killed it. Your voice has a bit of the dry Louisiana tone like Dave's but also brings a kind of innocence to it that suits the song damn well. I guess this is what they call talent; you just added your own magic to it somehow, bravo. It occurs to me u could work some Pearl Jam really well too.
your voice is actually perfect, like, you are not off-key just once in this video.. that's insane! you have so much control over your voice.. out of this world.. and now I'll stop commenting :D
I am NOT a dave matthews fan. I just associate it as college girl music from the late 90's but I REALLY enjoyed this cover. As a musician myself, I really respect the car studio. Keep doing your thing, friend.
Omfg Im just speechless and thankful to hear you operating in your element. Cannot wait to see where your passion and skill takes you, already somewhere wonderful.
Hey Alexander. Amazing cover of a difficult song! Your voice is incredible and the guitar sounds like pure gold - you gotta love a good Tanglewood acoustic! Keep up the good work mate.
Why is it, that caged birds, sings the beautyfullest? Im not asuming this here artist is a caged bird, but dude is recording from his car, while making me feel and yearn for freedom, love and heeling. Hope. Thank you for your beautyful art ❤ Lord knows, we need it.

Dude...this is the best cover I think I’ve ever heard
MADDOG fishing Woah! Thanks so much ✌🏾
This is impressive I agree, I can play it, but it is a chore to play and sing that song at the same time.
I agree.
Boy can sing.
are you not sure if you heard it?
Get this man a record deal!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amen ❤❤❤❤❤ 🙌
Hands down the BEST cover of Crash into Me EVER.
Thanks so much 🙏🏾
The little flourishes you added made this great song so soulful
Thank you! Glad you’ve been enjoying the videos 😊
This guy killed this cover in the back seat of a vehicle. Dope af
cjborrego 🙏🏾 thanks
@@AlexanderMills assuming it travels?
It took this comment for me to realize he was in a vehicle.. was more focused on the crazy amount of talent
He perfectly performs two songs that are perfect for singing in a car. Crash and Fast Car. All that's missing is Drive by The Cars. Drive by Incubus would work as well. I have no doubt he would own both of those songs. I've yet to hear a song or cover by Alexander Mills that hasn't at least been a 9/10.
I bet some cool acoustics in a car or summit
This mans voice has a touch of Tracy Chapman. Amazing; deep..beautiful.
True that! I love Tracy Chapman! 😊
I was totally hearing that.
I’m a Dave snob. And that might be the best cover of that song that I’ve heard. Thank you for blessing my ears
Hayden James wow. That means a lot Hayden! Thank you! 🙏🏾
I agree! This guy should be famous!
same
Agree Hayden . This guy is the real deal
His voice is like diamonds on the moons surface. Smoooooth
bro..not even 10 seconds of singing and I got the chills
Thank you 🙏🏾 Glad you resonated with it ☺️
Beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes. Just phenomenal!
🫶🏾
I just realized that he's in a car to block out the noise. Ingenuity is on point.
My mom just passed away a couple of weeks ago. She was one of DMB's biggest fans. I was waiting until we got together again so I could show her this cover. I know she would have loved it ❤.
💗Sending love 💗
This was a STELLAR cover of this song....my goodness. This needs to go viral already. 👏👏👏
This was so unexpectedly beautiful. Thanks for this one.
Glad you enjoyed it! ✌🏾😊
That was GREAT!! Well done, sir!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏾

The car thing is genius!!!
Villiam Jensen Thanks 😊
what car thing????
@@criancavivo1632 recording in the back of a car, didn’t even notice at first either lollll
Shet didn't even saw this
He took a hauntingly beautiful song and made it even more hauntingly beautiful. I’m in awe
🙏🏾🙏🏾

Dave’s voice is so unique that most covers tend to miss “it” even if they are good covers. But yours is outstanding and added to an already great song
Jonathan Patterson thanks Jonathan. It’s very unique and haunting. I love Dave Matthews. This song is also very close to my heart so I guess it translates when I play it. Thanks so much for
your kind words. ✌🏾
YES!!! All the other covers are just singing. This cover has the YEARNING and Ache that Dave has.

Thank you for playing the rhythm the right way. Seriously. It's what makes the melodies stand out, and the song beautiful.
Thanks! It’s one of my favourite songs so I’ve studied it a lot. I’m glad you like the video ✌🏾
Algorithm blessed me this evening. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Why doesn’t this video have 2 million views by now it’s incredible how so many people are oblivious to great talent like this young man!
Ok I usually don't write posts like this and I usually avoid covers of this song, it has a lot of meaning for me. But I'm so glad I did. Thank you for an amazing cover of one of my favourite songs.
Fullnerd79 Thanks so much for saying that. That’s very kind of you. It’s my favourite as well and I’m glad you dig it! ✌🏾
Hard song to cover for sure.
Wow freaking amazing bro! You need to be famous!
Haha. One day!
Incredible. Thank you.
You’re welcome Steve. 😊
Sir Mills - THE absolute best cover I've heard hands down...those vocals...
Wallace thanks so much 🙌🏾 That means a lot ✌🏾
❤ this! More Dave Matthews please!
Working on it 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sublime!! That vibrato!!!! Heavenly!
Thank you! ☺️
The sound quality of the mic and guitar, make the playing and singing so much more crisp and pure
Coming back after 2 years. This is just brilliant
Welcome back! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thanks for the love ❤️

Zach T Fell 1995 Wow. You’re definitely a super fan of DMB then. That’s a big compliment! Thanks so much.
It's so good that whenever i play DMB and this song I'm going to think of this cover every time, it'll play forever

This is a fantastic cover of one of the best songs of all time
JakeJonKing wow Thanks so much Jake!
Man EXCELLENT. How beautiful. Well done, man. You have a wonderful voice.
Thanks so much! Appreciate you 🙏🏾
An argument could be made that this covers better than the original. Very impressive.
Wow. Thanks! I don't know. Dave is the OG. Really honoured that you feel that way.
Stunning!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Could you cover fast car by Tracy Chapman?
Gdawg 0331 sure thing!
Alexander Mills I cant wait!!! So excited to see it
That was exactly what I was thinking as he started singing too! :)

I feel the same. This dude killed it though. No band. Just his car, his guitar, his voice, and some reverb. Great job, my dude!
@@john15333 thanks for watching. Appreciate that you watched even though it’s not your cup of tea 🙏🏾
@@AlexanderMills I came because I'm a fan of yours. Keep up the effort, my dude!
