This is beyond PERFECT! Makes me wanna cry! Why isn't this 141.000.000 Likes! Should be 141.000.000 LOVES!

[@dkunsken]

this is such a good version, so much energy!

[@steggy-music]

WHAT??? im done. you just blew my mind right out of my head. This is insane.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hey Jason - ah thank you so much bud!! Looping is fun 🥰

[@aminormemory-musicartist]

Man that's catchy!

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Well executed! Brilliant separation of who does what on the loop pedals and the choices made! A lot of gear but totally worth it. This is simply fantastic!

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hello there JP! Ah thank you so much mate - it's so nice when our stuff is stumbled upon by someone who knows exactly what's going on here 😅 We've bashed our heads against the RC600s trying to get their midi sync to behave the same way, but no dice :(

[@liesbepje]

Hey Mat&Soph, this is a fabulous masterpiece!! ✨ Love all the looper layers, especially the woodblock 🤗🎶🎸👌 Can't sit still while watching this: headbopping, toe tapping, singing+whistling+humming along with you! 🥳

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Woo Hoo! That's so nice to hear :) Thanks very much for watching: we just recently set this as the 'Video For Returning Subscribers', so we're glad it caught your attention enough to keep you watching. This is one of our favourite songs to do live... we used to segue out of this one into Shut Up And Dance by Walk The Moon, but that one's fallen out of fashion a little recently, which is yet another reason to not waste time learning stuff in the charts 😂 Hope you're well and having a nice Christmas :) xxx

[@Alberts_Stuff]

You two are like the best wedding duo ever, i can see how much hard work you put in. I sincerely hope you are fully booked 👌🏼👌🏼

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hey Albert - sady, due to the current lockdown fun here in the UK, we haven't worked since March 2020. Hopefully a vaccine will appear soon enough and we can get back to it... but if folks like you keep on watching, sharing and enjoying our stuff here on YT, we might not have to!

[@TexasJackdaw]

Such a brilliant idea of adding a midi pickup to an acoustic. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. I may have to try that! The vocals and loops are stupid good.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Thanks so much, tim :)

[@davidshanhun]

This is f**ckn brilliant 👌 (PS - how have i not watched this til now? 🤷‍♂️)

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Haha thanks so much Davo! We don't like to push our wares ;) Determined to one day make it into one of your 'Loop Artis Reacts' vids! Let's wait till we have a few thousand more views though so it doesn't stink of charity...

[@davidshanhun]

@@TheDistanceDuo haha push em! 😉people will either love it and stick or move on 🤷‍♂️ Oh that will be a fun day when I sit down to react to the two of you looping up a storm. Next on the list is Ed Sheeran, but I think i'm a tool in the reaction to it... so it's been hiding in the editing pile for a bit 🤦‍♂️will see if it ever makes it out to the world!

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Haha sorry for the delay... completely forgot about this response. Our Tool radar didn't ping, so I think you;re good.

[@jaimelaceraacosta200]

You are amazing this cover of you can Call me Al is very nice.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hello Jamie - thank you so much! We had great fun putting this one together... the synth brass makes it so much better than just doing it acoustic. Thank you for watching!

[@Sadlittleatticboy]

You guys are definitely a cut above most cover channels out there, this is such a great song and you were flawless! Bet you're great live too.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Oh thank you so much bud, you're too kind. This is still one of our absolute favourite songs from the looper set and we end most shows with it (nowhere to go after this!!), so we're glad you enjoyed this rendition. Have you tackled this one? I wonder how it would sound filtered through your brain... Absolutely loving your work too - such a pleasure to make your acquaintence and keep up the great music

[@Roady-13]

Surfin' your channel today!!! It's so much fun listening and watchin' you both workin' those loopers!!! Cool Stuff!!!☮️

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Aw thank you Roady!! So kind of you to do a deep dive on our stuff... and we're glad you found this one in particular: the number of times the hippie has been faced with an end card where this was an option - and didn't click it - makes us wonder whether he either hates the song... or whether he's already played it and we've just forgotten 😂😂

[@vitorinow]

Beautiful interpretation!!👍👍👍

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hello Vitorino! Thank you so much, that really means a lot to us :)

[@chrishiggins7577]

Brilliant👍

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Thank you Chris!

[@simbar6671]

Why am i only finding you know one of my fave tracks growing up and this is amazing

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Ah thank you Simba! You're digging all of our favourite videos... so it looks like we have similar musical tastes to you!!! xxx

[@benarlow6707]

Oh my word, another amazing cover, brilliant, you guys are so naturally gifted, and work perfectly effortless together

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Aw thank you so much Ben, that means a huge amount to us... and this is one of our favourite looper covers we've done. We tried to perform this song for years but it just didn't sound right without the brass section... ;)

[@SamAustinMusic]

😁😁😁 Love it

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Thanks Sam! We absolutely love this song... thanks so much for watching :)

[@AdrianoBatti]

The editing I do appreciate it very much and music performance is amazing, awesome....why little views? This should have millions of views...what’s wrong with KZbin?

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Ah thank you so much Adriano, that means a huge amount to us and we're very happy to hear you enjoyed this!! If you'd like to help us reach a wider audience, sharing our videos on your social medai accounts is always massively helpful to us - no pressure though, and thnks for watching !! xx

[@youarestillalive]

FINALLY!!! another loop cover

[@TheDistanceDuo]

thank you :)

[@FeritNecib]

Hi, I like how fulfilling is your sound. David told me you guys using voicelive 3 with a power bank could you please tell what is your power bank output I know it's 12V but A? Maybe brand. I would be happy if you can reply.

[@MatONeill]

Hello there! It's Mat here from The Distance Argh, I knew somebody would ask that eventually. I'm afraid I don't know the exact specs of the powerbanks we use, but I can show you both of them: Anker - www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-PowerCore-Portable-Double-Speed-Recharging/dp/B01JIWQPMW Poweradd - www.amazon.co.uk/Poweradd-Portable-Universal-External-Red-Black/dp/B00XVTJKCQ/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=poweradd+power+bank&qid=1586448492&s=electronics&sr=1-13 (this looks like it's on sale in the UK, not sure about your region...) Both of these work perfectly well, last for hours and hours, and are well built. Other powerbanks will probably work, but I only have experience of those ones specifically. Of course the secret sauce that makes all of this work is the mighty Ripcord from the folks at MyVolts.com - myvolts.co.uk/product/48600/Power_Supply_and_Chargers/Ripcord_USB_to_12V_DC_power_cable_compatible_with_the_TC-Helicon_VoiceLive-3_Vocal-processor you'll need to also purchase a POLARITY SWITCHER from them or elsewhere, as the 12v Ripcord is the opposite polarity to what the VL3 wants. **Don't use it without one or you'll fry your device!!** Smartest thing to do would be to contact myvolts directly - ask for Luke Brennan and tell him I sent you. Ask for the full Mat O'Neill Voicelive setup.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

What he said. :)

[@FeritNecib]

@@MatONeill thank you very much for your detailed information appreciated

[@MarshallSetUps]

Thank you for your kind words on the mhh show. AAAAAND, thank you for subbing. I haven't posted much in recent months. I need to get some stuff finished. In the midst of several songs🤘.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Thank you too! That's some fantastic work on your channel. Pleasure watching bud and speak soon :) xx

[@richardking1067]

bloody brilliant. better than the original.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

thank you :) Very kind of you to say, Although we're missing that kick-ass bass solo ;) xx

Ah thank you Harald and the very same to you - hope you have a great Christmas and nice to meet you!!

[@steveclark9934]

Wanted to hear this cover on the gr55 thanks.

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hey Steve, hope you enjoyed. This is one of a few songs we probably wouldn't bother doing if we didn't have the GR55s - those brass sounds are huge :)

[@steveclark9934]

​​@@TheDistanceDuo Fantastic job I have a question do you happen to connect MIDI controller foot switch with the gr55 to change any of the parameters within the pedal and if so which one? I'm interested in getting one to use with my gr55 I find the single control pedal switch on it is not enough.

[@dontletmebrown]

Is that a godin solidac?
