There’s an excellent live drum cover of flim on KZbin - I would love to see this as an ensemble.

I was very skeptical when I saw the title of this video. Holy shit, I am blown away. Amazing! That's coming from someone who's teaches guitar and has played for 27 years. You have done this song justice and so much more. Fantastic!

[@michaelgraham1999]

[@adamoneill7371]

A gorgeous cover of one of my favorite tracks. The melody isn't complex, but your effects perfectly matched what makes the original track so pleasing, and yet you still gave the cover a unique feel. Thank you for this!

[@mittensthekitten9470]

Wow! Amazing... ♥️ Incidentally, CGCFCE is the same tuning Nick Drake used on the following songs: introduction hazey jane I hazey jane II pink moon which will parasite hanging on a star (Note: NOT “place to be”, which was actually CGCFGE) 👍🏻

I hardly write any comments but your sound and the whole playing is just awesome

[@RickardHallerback]

"the melodic validity of electronic music" interesting, and well put. In this case, Flim, the melody of this song has got to be one of the most beautiful ones I've ever heard, yet i listen to all kinds of music.. I believe that the aesthetics of electronic music are equal to the such of acoustic music, with modern technology we can create with much less limitations and boundaries..

[@wreid4life]

Benevolently orchestrated and so well played.
