Cover of the song "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Justice to the song cannot possibly be done with just an acoustic guitar but here's my go at it anyway.

\"The World I Know\" by Collective Soul "The World I Know" by Collective Soul

Video duration: 194 seconds

Cover of the song "The World I Know" by Collective Soul.. I know I'm biased because I grew up with this band among others as the background music to my life, but I really think they are so terribly underrated as musicians.
So, as Ali G would put it, "Respect!"

\"Runaway Train\" by Soul Asylum "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 260 seconds

One of the biggest breakaway hits of the 90's, funny that the band that sings it can rarely be remembered by fans of the song.
A good one in any case, and if you like it I strongly recommend buying some of Soul Asylum's albums.. they're a great band!

\"Counting Blue Cars\" by Dishwalla "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla

Video duration: 319 seconds

Cover of the song "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla. Another band that has tons of amazing albums worth of material, but this is the only song people have heard by them (for the most part).
If you like this, go buy some of Dishwalla's other material! =D

Video duration: 130 seconds

Cover of the song "Blackbird" by The Beatles.. Written by Paul McCartney, this song is beautiful and timeless - and although I couldn't possibly do it justice, here's my attempt. =D
I'm not playing this absolutely correctly, and am aware of that.. just in case anyone wants to leave a comment to that effect.

\"Clocks\" by Coldplay "Clocks" by Coldplay
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 303 seconds

Cover of the song "Clocks" by Coldplay. Not sure how well it translates to just an acoustic version, but damn it I can't play the piano very well. =P
Oh, and that's my phone that goes off about 3/4 into the movie - thanks, Kelly!

Video duration: 280 seconds

Cover of the song "Closing Time" by Semisonic, also trying to experiment a bit with the camera to get a better picture.. but I think what I really need is a better camera!
I'm really surprised that requests are already coming in - thought it would take a while, but keep 'em coming please.. gives me motivation to learn some new songs. Thanks to everyone that has watched my videos!

Cover of a song called "Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam" by The Vaselines, also covered by Nirvana - this version is a sort-of combination of the two versions.

Cover of the song "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.
I just ran across the music video on VH1 and I had forgotten how screwed up it was, heh. Anyway, hope you enjoy my performance - I'm off to the movies.

\"Mad World\" by Tears for Fears "Mad World" by Tears for Fears
Posted by: xylopolist

Video duration: 265 seconds

Cover of the song "Mad World" by Tears for Fears, made even more popular by the cult classic Donnie Darko.. this song is sad and uplifting at the same time.. hard to put your finger on.
This was my first request, hope you enjoy it! If anyone has another you know how to reach me. ;)

\"Street Spirit\" by Radiohead "Street Spirit" by Radiohead

Video duration: 247 seconds

Cover of the song "Street Spirit" by Radiohead. I love playing this song, even though it always manages to slip me up somewhere - and this rendition is not without its fair share of mistakes.
..It's a bit slower than the original, and tuned 1/2 step down for anyone trying to follow along. Thanks for listening!
