The Boy in the Bubble (Paul Simon) FULL COVER

[@gooseghazi]

Unbelievable!!!! I googled covers of this song thinking Nobody could properly capture the essence ...WRONG! U nailed this up over above and beyond what I thought possible ! This is true talent right here!

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thank you very much!

[@cootmaster]

i heard lot covers all terrible this great

[@LitoLevenbach]

@@cootmaster Thank you!

[@joem.2561]

This version should have 16,000,000 views. End of story.

[@LitoLevenbach]

Haha thanks so much!

[@bshwalker]

Wow! Stumbled across this today and was blown away. Awesome job!!

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thank you!

[@bobmervak1466]

Wow. And this should have about 400,000 more views

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thanks Bob, time will tell haha

[@CornishCockney]

A wonderful version - as near as replicated as you'd want it. Well done.

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thanks Keith!

[@hoboogre8023]

Especially considering that EVERY cover or live version, even by Paul Simon himself, SUCKS. This is the only version ever that captures the energy, hope, and wonder of the original. Maybe even better than the original did.

[@LitoLevenbach]

@@hoboogre8023 That's a massive compliment...

[@lmevans1979]

DANG. That was absolutely fantastic!

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thank you very much!

[@JohnWilliams-bf8uq]

Lito lito lito!!. What can I say mate! I have been covering this song on my own as a solo artist for nearly 20 years. There are not many people who do it well because the rhythm of the vocals is so different to the guitar to perform live. I thought I did a pretty good job with just one guitar but this arrangement is sooooo good. I need a couple lessons from you and I'd never thought I'd say this about this song to someone your age!

[@LitoLevenbach]

High praise, thank you very much! This definitely took some effort to do haha, glad you like it!

[@davidlawlor4317]

Love it. Nice and raw. Good singer.

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thanks David!

[@jinkang7164]

Bravo! Hope you're still making music. Excellent taste in music!

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thanks so much! Still working on new things haha

[@the_bassiah]

I thought you were like a 14 year old, then you starting singing and I thought you were like 20. really great voice, and everything else! great vid!

[@LitoLevenbach]

Hahah thank you Bassiah! Gee this was a long time ago

[@johanbenettsson7554]

this is just too perfect, and i love this song

+R. K. Barrett Thank you!

[@rallabhandiprabhakar4750]

The accordion elevates this song to near perfection

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thank you!

[@dgbjackgibson]

Gotta love multi-instrumentalism! It was a pleasure to watch that, my friend! It can't be easy to pull off a project like this all by yourself, but you seem to have the equipment and the solidity on all your instruments to do so! I'd have loved to hear a real drum kit, but, hey ho, maybe that's stretching it a bit too far, equipment-wise. Nevertheless a magnificent performance! Good luck for the future! :)

[@LitoLevenbach]

Whoa thanks Jack! I appreciate that! Yes it took me a while to put this together but it was a lot of fun. As for the drums, I actually didn't have enough tracks available for a fully miked kit so I went with an electric one. I hope you stick around to see my future projects!

[@UncleTenoose]

Man, you're good! I loved this album probably before you were born. It's so good to hear young people performing good music. I really hope your musical career takes off. So much talent.

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thank you very much! Graceland is such a great album and I'm sure many more people will discover it for years to come. As for me, I'm just going to keep making music and we'll see what happens ;)

[@snowdonguy]

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thank you!

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

You got the essence of this and also the rhythm section is f***ing tight - except what happened at 2:19?!

[@hoboogre8023]

Tight, skilled work, all the way around. You are very talented. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Great stuff. Well done !

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thank you!

[@josuegentilcunhaneto780]

Good job! To make it perfect, you´d had to add Adrian Belew´s effects (although they are almost imperceptible). He plays the synthesizer, but also make some inaudible effects here and in some other tracks.

[@LitoLevenbach]

+Josue Gentil Cunhs Neto Good catch! It's the little surprises like the ones you mentioned that make Graceland such an interesting record to listen to, even after many repeats.

That was pretty good. Did you do your own background vocals, too? How many background voice tracks, if so?

[@LitoLevenbach]

Thanks! I don't recall exactly but there were probably 3 or 4 background vocals. I do double track these days

[@ianaliciaperry5243]

Awesome!!!

[@beforewewake]

Will you do a tutorial for the accordion part?

[@LitoLevenbach]

I figured it out by complete trial and error, so I'm probably not the best tutor for the instrument hahah

Hello. Are you still replying to comments on this?

Still here!

[@jacobdavidson2462]

@@LitoLevenbach Thanks for the reply. Rrecently (just moments ago) looking once again for this video above I came across another cover by fans / enthusiasts with the accordion being covered by an instrument I recognise from.childhood. I wonder aloud if there is possibility of collaboration with either of these (yourself included) progenitors of backing music and instrumentation on this exact song, with lyrics I have put together stemming from a shared love for this particular track and in particular the accordion section so evocative as it is. To clarify, what is the possibility of collaboration with yourself as a backing musician and myself testing my lyrical take on the original title, telling a story of my own?

[@LitoLevenbach]

@@jacobdavidson2462 Sorry man, I'm rather swamped with projects to do and last time I checked I couldn't find the master tracks to this song anymore. But good luck with your creative endeavours!
