  • syubidupidapap : @Jophish : thanks alot =) @Bad Spud Artist : thats true .We agree =) thanks
    on February 17th 2010, 06:33 AM
  • Bad Spud Artist : For the people complaining about the auto-tune, this is a cover of a song that uses auto-tune. So it at least makes sense.
    on February 15th 2010, 11:53 PM
  • Jophish : I'm sure Owl City doesn't even know what a Game Boy is. Let alone what a chip is. Or a tune. Definitely a tune. But despite my hatred towards Owl City, this is a nice cover. :)

  • FourStoryGamer : I find myself liking this version so much more than the original.
    on January 23rd 2010, 09:19 PM
  • Riup : i really hope you guys plan on doing more covers like this. i cant stop listening to this!
    on January 23rd 2010, 01:41 PM
  • FearofDark : Prefer this version to the original, despite the autotune vocals (although I generally can't stand autotune anyway). Very nice cover nevertheless
    on January 23rd 2010, 03:54 AM
  • r4dio : nice vocals!
    on January 23rd 2010, 02:56 AM
  • 2xAA : Thanks A, B, Up, Start! I knew it!!! I am a clone!!!
    on January 22nd 2010, 09:00 AM
  • A, B, Up, Start! : owl city is pretty generic looking though
    on January 22nd 2010, 08:48 AM
  • 2xAA : STRANGE!!!! My friend said to me I looked like Owl City yesterday and then I listened to this song on his profile and said "why not use a Gameboy in your songs?" ! Nice cover, love it =D
    on January 22nd 2010, 08:39 AM
  • ExistentailismOnTheMoon!! : it really cool to hear you sing this in a different accent.is this by ear? :)
    on January 21st 2010, 09:30 AM
  • syubidupidapap : @ Riup , FIVE TO THE EYES , Cesque : thansk guys hehehe
    on January 20th 2010, 09:56 PM
  • Riup : wow, this is amazing! i love it!
    on January 20th 2010, 08:49 PM
  • FIVE TO THE EYES : @ A b up start. sweet vocals are like sweet tea it has lots of sugar in it!!!!!
    on January 20th 2010, 08:42 PM
  • A, B, Up, Start! : what the hell are "sweet vocals"?
    on January 20th 2010, 08:35 PM
  • Cesque : I wish it wasn't an Owl City song because Owl City INFURIATES me. His instrumentals are good but I generally hate him, his similarities to Postal Service, his voice and his lyrics. Personally I think without the singing this song would be very good :D
    on January 20th 2010, 08:34 AM
  • syubidupidapap : @ all : thanks alot guys . like we said , we are still in a learning phase. may be better for the next. thanks =)

  • Jaffakuchen : this is beautifull =]
    on January 18th 2010, 07:19 AM
  • kitsune_baka : It's very cute, even the sort of ''engrish'' (or in your case, indo-grish?) pronunciation of the lyrics... some of the words are off, but other than that, great cover. And to satisfy the Deathcab fans, you should do "Soul Meets Body," if you haven't already.

  • Deviance : AUTO-TUNE
    on January 17th 2010, 11:02 AM
  • Surayana Atreides : Like. Dukung ah..

  • Downstate : good point mr sukie. i agree totally, so many artists i love all derive down from aphex twin and squarepusher, but as long as you got your own stamp on it evertone takes influence from somewhere for sure. I dont think he's ripped off postal service, just that for me its too similar, and imo no where near as good so i couldnt ever imagine wanting to listen to it. But anyway enough rambling about the source, lets let this page go back to bein about their reworking, which is rather splendid !
    on January 17th 2010, 03:41 AM
  • sukieinthecave : downstate knows his music ! : } , every artist creates their own precursors by the mere fact that they exist, unless your totally ripping off its all good within reason
    on January 17th 2010, 02:51 AM
  • Downstate : infact death cab started way back 92, and first album came out in 1997, give up dropped in 2003......., owl city started in 2007, im not trying to be little his music, im just saying its very very reminiscent of gibbards vocals, the way he sings is almost identical (but a bit more, er boyband like perhaps)and the music and instrumentation has definately taken heavy inspiration from the postal service, come on its even on his wiki : "Owl City has been compared to The Postal Service, with a number of publications going as far as accusing Owl City of "ripping off" the Postal Service. Adam Young, while admitting to being a fan of the Postal Service and acknowledging some influence, has dismissed the comparisons."
    on January 17th 2010, 02:47 AM
  • TheRunnerUp : What everyone fails to realize is Adam Young has been making music long before the Postal Service even realeased "Give Up." Owl City was not Adams first music project. he's had around 4 others that I know of. (Port Blue, Insect Airport, Swimming With Dolphins.) Adam Young is not a "Ben Gibbard rip off" he's been making this style of music for around 10 years now. Geez people.
    on January 17th 2010, 02:12 AM
  • Downstate : i agree with what tigerj says, i checked out the original and some of his other stuff...it is a bit cringeworthy how much he trys to sound like ben gibbard....its a shame cos it could definately be great music, but for me now owl city will just always just be a poor mans death cab. Your version is much better imo, even though im not keen at all on the autotune, look forward to hearing more (hopefully with no a/t) !!!

  • kiddybit : this is goooood maaaate ilovelove this :D
    on January 17th 2010, 12:22 AM
  • themediashow : One more thing -- did anyone else think the pitch bending sent the notes off just a tiny little bit too much?
    on January 16th 2010, 09:42 PM
  • themediashow : I can't stand super-pop stuff, so at first the vocals really turned me off and I stopped listening... and then my brain was like NO THAT SONG IS CUTE GO BACK! and who was I to resist. I do think a female vocalist is critical here, and I'm torn about the autotune, for the reasons people have already said.
    on January 16th 2010, 09:41 PM
  • syubidupidapap : @ SkyLabrynth and Sirius-B : thanks alot guys..hope u like it =)
    on January 16th 2010, 09:32 PM
  • Sirius-B : Really nice ! Love the pan effect in the end =D
    on January 16th 2010, 05:44 PM
  • SkyLabrynth : I need to get myself a female to sing for me. This is so nice.
    on January 16th 2010, 05:38 PM
  • syubidupidapap : @ Spencer_To the Moon_Love : hehehe thanks bro =)
    on January 16th 2010, 05:16 PM
  • Spencer_To the Moon_Love : Maybe its just me...but I like how it sounds with autotune...It sounds almost robotic, and it just amplifies the meaning of the song.
    on January 16th 2010, 12:26 AM
  • syubidupidapap : @ Paper Cranes : okay..thanks alot bro =)
    on January 15th 2010, 07:28 PM
  • Paper Cranes : I like this, I agrre with everyone else though, I'd like to hear it without autotune ;D
    on January 15th 2010, 05:35 PM
  • syubidupidapap : @ guybrush : thanks alot bro ..we are still in a learning . may be better for the next hehe
    on January 15th 2010, 05:28 PM
  • guybrush : much better than the original, warmer and more fun and not overproduced o/ MORE!!
    on January 15th 2010, 01:29 PM
  • syubidupidapap : @ We_Navigate : hehehe thank alot bro =)
    on January 14th 2010, 02:28 PM
  • We_Navigate : i listen to this every day
    on January 14th 2010, 11:32 AM
  • syubidupidapap : @ Cats : hehe thanks =)
    on January 12th 2010, 04:35 PM
  • Cats : i actually really love the autotune and this tune reminds me like one of hudmo's. wicked.
    on January 12th 2010, 04:26 PM
  • syubidupidapap : @ juliacoolia : okay we will try . thanks =) @ his8- : thanks alot =)

    on January 12th 2010, 04:00 PM
  • juliacoolia : aw this is so good! you should upload the instrumental version too!
    on January 12th 2010, 03:58 PM
  • syubidupidapap : @ DEER and bitQuit : thanks guys =)
    on January 12th 2010, 02:06 PM
  • bitQuit : mantabb kang... kerenn pisannn... asli
    on January 12th 2010, 06:38 AM
  • DEER : Great cover, well produced. Have to be honest, I am not very keen on autotune as well. You have a good voice. Better than what the autotune makes of it. But over all, I really enjoyed listening to this!
    on January 12th 2010, 03:43 AM
  • syubidupidapap : @ AndyExpandy : thanks for the advice. we'll do better again =)
    on January 12th 2010, 03:06 AM
  • AndyExpandy : even better yet, use celemony melodyne if you're worried about pitch problems. owl city uses it on all his tracks (so i heard via my reliable source...the internet)
    on January 12th 2010, 02:24 AM
  • syubidupidapap : @ Spencer_To the Moon_Love n smiletron : thanks alot . we are still in a learning phase. may be better for the next =)
    on January 12th 2010, 02:15 AM
  • smiletron : even if you're going to autotune it... dont make it jump around. jumpy autotune is the domain of rappers and people who don't know better. :)
    on January 12th 2010, 01:24 AM
  • Spencer_To the Moon_Love : Holy hell...the voice in here is just amazing :D Im like holy shit...I just fell in love yano? Amazing work
    on January 12th 2010, 01:24 AM
  • syubidupidapap : @ GO!GADGET : thanks bro =)
    on January 11th 2010, 06:09 PM
  • GO!GADGET : yeah!..this is great song :)
    on January 11th 2010, 05:18 PM
  • syubidupidapap : @ all : thanks friends for the future we will try better and wear original voice of course hehehe
    on January 11th 2010, 05:08 PM
  • ColeTrain : This is good. The autotune is bad, especially since it's obvious you don't need it.
    on January 11th 2010, 05:07 PM
  • FIVE TO THE EYES : i'm in love with the way this done. your voice is sweet.
    on January 11th 2010, 03:34 PM
  • ehosch : this is awesome!
    on January 11th 2010, 02:00 PM
  • TasuLife : This should have never originally been sung by a man. it is too cute. The 8b sound and female singer make it much more in tune with it's nature - the cutest song ever.
    on January 11th 2010, 11:50 AM
  • Hurrigame Boy : sorry. But you sound like you would actually be able to sing without the autotune, you have a nice sounding voice.
    on January 11th 2010, 11:12 AM
  • Tigerj : I really like how you are not trying to rip off Ben Gibbard as the original artist seem to try to hard to be him. This song is great this way, original. Too bad the first musician(s?) couldn't have this sense.
    on January 11th 2010, 11:11 AM
  • Hurrigame Boy : you would not believe your eyes if nen meeyon firize
    on January 11th 2010, 07:51 AM
  • nonfinite : grr, autotune abuse! Would have LOVED this had it just been sung normally

    on January 10th 2010, 10:36 PM
  • Downstate : the tunes cool, but the vocals are not to my taste, horrid vocoder/autotune business. Never heard the original tbh, but the vst's are used really well for sure, the beats nice and punchy too.
