On the other hand, your vocals were much subtler, and that's why I kinda preferred your version over the original.
Still, I don't think that's one of the songs I'd be digging, but I think you should record yourself more often.
Cheers.

I'm glad you like my cover. [=
It's funny you say you like the subtler version, because I was afraid it wasn't emotional enough. :3
^_^ I think I'm going to record myself again with more emotion, I'm not sure yet, but I'll definitely do another song.

Thank you!

I really like your cover Sugar, it was very nicely done. I have listened to ETF before, and I actually like 3 songs from them - "Ashely", "Something" and "Harder Than You Know". I don't really fancy his voice in this song though... not sure what angle he was going for but much like 9, I quite actually prefer your version. I'll be looking forward to seeing some more covers by you though. Well done

Yayay! [=
It's so funny that you two say that, haha. I think his voice is perfect for the part and I felt like I wasn't filling his shoes!
Thank you for listening to my cover. <3 I know it's a little muffled, but I'm so glad you liked it. I'll definitely put up another video as soon as I find a good song for my voice.
Maybe something where I don't need falsetto! Thank you thank you thank you.

Just a little journal entry...

Setting: Laundromat.
Time: 21:30

The man who works at night is constantly playing loud music.
From Lady Gaga to whatever Opera to Pink Floyd, he listens to a variety of music.
Since I wasn't feeling the Pink Floyd tonight, I decided to listen to Coheed and Cambria on my Zune.

He saw that I was tapping to my music and asked what I was listening to.
When I told him who and what genre they were often considered, he asked if I wanted to listen to it on the big speakers.
I told him I thought it was a little dark for the laundromat, but he challenged me, and started BLASTING King Crimson.
And then asked me after a few songs if I thought it was still too dark and heavy. Even though I still thought it was, I plugged my Zune into the speakers anyway and began playing the album "No World For Tomorrow."
He liked it.
I was loving it.

Everyone was listening to the same album I had just been listening to in but one earbud.
What a good way to do laundry.

Needless to say, that guy's pretty chill.

Hehe thats a really cool story. I think id be a bit reluctant. I'm always thinking that i couldnt be bothered with the criticism of my music taste cause i hate those arguments.

Ohh, I didn't see this response earlier.
I didn't want to for fear of criticism as well.
But try to imagine the most open-minded person in the entire world, and that's the kind of guy we're dealing with here.
I wasn't afraid to show him, just to hear anything from annoyed, late-night clothes-washing customers.

Hahaha, comments are much appreciated either way. xD
Thanks for reading.

Youtube added to the recommendation feature.
They now tell you what video made them recommend the one that they did.
Because I favourited an Alcest video, this band was recommended to me.
Have I fallen in love? It's too late to tell, it's 2 15 in the morning and I can't listen to the music too loudly.
Am I interested? Most definitely.
Since this is my last day at home for a few months, I downloaded their self-titled album for the ride home. I'm definitely excited.
[[= Night everyone.
