I love Dax. Unfortunately he isn't always the best for my mental health, but man he is such an amazing singer/songwriter. I always loved that he chose to do this song.
Played this song moments after my mom passed. Hospice let me stay in the room for ten minutes after she passed. I hope Dax knows the lives he’s touched with his voice and playing. I was in shock and could only think of one voice to put on
Dax is one of the best singer songwriters I have ever heard. I found him through another I love, Nick Drake.. very underestimated in his short life. Dax has his spirit, sounds strange, But whatever , his talent floors me . His version of this song is beautiful.
I can't believe Dax covered this song... He's one of my all-time favorite artists and the song is also one the most beautiful songs ever written (which I also count among my favorites)
Dax Riggs... covered Neutral Milk Hotel. But for now, we are young, let us lay in the sun, and count every beautiful thing we can see. Oh, Dax, you fiend of hearts, you. Soft and sweet, how the notes all bend and reach above the trees... Now we even know his name. Dax Riggs (;
The emotions that he inspires are completely different from Jeff's. Not saying it is better, or worse... It's a completely different kind of animal. Tears of joy and sorrow. Simply beautiful.
Makes me cry everytime,reminds me of my gf of 5 years who passed nov.2021 from cv 19 at 41 yo,unexpected.its left me so empty, and don't know what to do with mysf.
@László Reynolds, Even thought it's 8 months later, I want to correct you. Actually it's not a photo of a tall guy from a different band. That's Dax Riggs in the picture. I've been to several of his shows and I've spoken to him. He's not much taller than me and I'm no where near 6 feet tall.
Is the dude in that pic an acter? Or is it the opposite is he not the acter? Anybody know how tall that guy is? Dax is about my height a little taller. Im short.
I totally disagree that this version is superior to the original. Make no mistake- Riggs' voice is better than Jeff Mangum's and his delivery is great, but to my ear, the arrangement and pace of the original is one of the key elements that makes it so good. Also, while Riggs' voice is BETTER, Mangum's is more INTERESTING, and that works better for the song. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic cover.
to my ears there is not nor ever will be a better vocalist than dax, and I still agree. This is a great cover that still isn't even close how great the original is.
Criminally underrated. Dax is an artist I will always return to in any of his myriad forms. Dax man if you read this, I hope you’re keeping well.
Talent is through the roof but I can't say this is a great cover. It's like Kurt Cobain and James Blunt had a baby and that baby covered this song.
I love Dax. Unfortunately he isn't always the best for my mental health, but man he is such an amazing singer/songwriter. I always loved that he chose to do this song.
I feel like doing a line of morphine and sinking into the warmth lol
I kinda get what you meant when u said this.
I totally empathize with this.
Horrible if you battle depression 🙁 but draws me in anyway. It's satan.🤷
Dax and Layne do numbers on my mental stability
Played this song moments after my mom passed. Hospice let me stay in the room for ten minutes after she passed. I hope Dax knows the lives he’s touched with his voice and playing. I was in shock and could only think of one voice to put on
Sang this for my grandmother's funeral ❤️ I love when you share musical taste with an artist you love.
So sorry for your loss :(god bless
😭😭😭 how does he make everything a million times more beautiful??!!
Mariah Skye he does do that doesnt he😘
haunting voice with guitar skill.
One Louisiana legend to another simply a beautiful song
you posted almost the same comment twice within a year, apparently haha. cheers.
It may have been two years but yes an all ways will be yes
he is such a phenomenal artist ... his voice just grabs you by your soul and makes it soar ... beautiful
Such a beautiful cover of a timeless song.
I simply cannot quit listening to this song.
This was recorded on Jan 8, 2004 at the Renaissance in Lafayette, LA.
Mani has some fun times at the renaissance in Laffy !! God , give up the machine lmao
Wow from one Louisiana legend to another
Both versions are great but Dax is king and making anything sound haunting
here's the older one
Just reminds me of my mom. So glad to hear Dax singing this so divinely...
Thank you so very much for this!! It's so beautiful it makes me cry. Dax Riggs does it again. He opens his mouth and pure magick pours out.

Dax is one of the best singer songwriters I have ever heard. I found him through another I love, Nick Drake.. very underestimated in his short life. Dax has his spirit, sounds strange, But whatever , his talent floors me . His version of this song is beautiful.

Amazing that this voice once was in Acid Bath. Dax's vocal range is unmatched !
What a voice
I can't believe Dax covered this song... He's one of my all-time favorite artists and the song is also one the most beautiful songs ever written (which I also count among my favorites)
i come here every year or so to cry. men cry in the dark. alone. and i was here before the AI learned to "feel"....
I have not heard this before! Thank you so much for posting! I don't hear enough new Dax anymore. I really appreciate this.
Dax Riggs... covered Neutral Milk Hotel. But for now, we are young, let us lay in the sun, and count every beautiful thing we can see. Oh, Dax, you fiend of hearts, you. Soft and sweet, how the notes all bend and reach above the trees...
Now we even know his name.
Dax Riggs (;
Wow. Goosebumps.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful version. 🖤 My favorite.
never cease ta amaze me
Dax Riggs is the truth
And still the truth
It’s Very fun to sing this version.
The emotions that he inspires are completely different from Jeff's. Not saying it is better, or worse... It's a completely different kind of animal.
Tears of joy and sorrow. Simply beautiful.
Probly the best cover of any song ever.
Definitely my favorite version.
Praise be to Dax Almighty...
:)

Everything DAX touchez turnz golden.hez iz by far underrated in this world.a genius at birth.id so do him.lmao \m/\m/

God I wish so badly Dax would play some solo acoustic shows again. Any shows at all, any music put out, anything.
Solid gold

The 14 people that didnt like this should stick a that thumb down & sit on it

Makes me cry everytime,reminds me of my gf of 5 years who passed nov.2021 from cv 19 at 41 yo,unexpected.its left me so empty, and don't know what to do with mysf.

1 of a kind.
I would like my daugther remember me whit this song

Blake J. I have been to a lot of his shows he is real short but he is great
💚💚💚❤️

😭💔😭
Yes. The song is about her, you know.
I like this cover much more than the original
@kali❤
Can I have one too?
Nice Dax doing Neutral Milk hotel !!!!
if i have a son, will name him Dax for sure Dax David ...
Seriously, lol is that anne frank at 1:50?
Played at My mom's funeral
Did i just see a random picture of anne frank?
Shining bright \0
Is the dude in that pic an acter? Or is it the opposite is he not the acter? Anybody know how tall that guy is? Dax is about my height a little taller. Im short.
Sam Pendelton! How could you!
I sold an opana to Dax Riggs once
I'm not quite yet able to articulate why, but I think this may be the funniest comment I've ever read.
the guy in the photo is the leader singer in the band Liars. he is about 6'6" 6'7"
Sewer Rat actually it's dax riggs
Yeah, that is most definitely Dax
Nah, that's Dax. Acid Bath, Agents of Oblivion, Deadboy and the Elephantmen.
DAX!
And he is real short I seen him in stl
lol Jeff "Magnum"

+Sam Pendleton 222830 love both...a very heart felt song.
Sam Pendleton I love both, but I love this one a bit more.
Sam Pendleton I agree
to my ears there is not nor ever will be a better vocalist than dax, and I still agree. This is a great cover that still isn't even close how great the original is.
When I am going through an anxiety panic as soon as i Dax, iI seriously get relief
Especially 'like moonlight'
it's not about her... it's about her... I think you know what I mean.
miss acid bath :(
Beck we know it's you
Baron Kimball 😂😂😂🙃
this is OK at best...
Blasting this with my wife so damn loud the neighbors are getting introduced to damn good music
