Gardenhead / Leave Me Alone (Neutral Milk Hotel Cover)

This lyrics to (half of) this song were originally written on a pack of cigarettes by Jeff Mangum. It's really two songs that were later joined together.

Performance by Jacob Martin

I appreciate the fact that you did the transition in one breath despite the pain it brings well done king

[rcknrolllyfe]

That vein popping out of his forehead, and the look of satisfaction when he realizes he pulled off the transition between the two halves of the song.

Dude... you actually killed this. Hit every note with passion, this is actually amazing, great job! Best NMH cover I've ever seen

[schuschu]

This was really awesome. best youtube cover i have found of this song. You deserve more views

[ethantheconnect]

Remember seeing this when I was 15 years old getting into NMH. 20 years old now. I come back every once in a while, you killed this man

[paulsevy]

I come back after 4 years and still enjoy this cover (wish I could play this song)

[shelbylou]

Wow! that transition was perfect, gave me goosebumps! Good job. you are very talented

[bittenco]

your notion of rhythm is very good, nice cover :)

[crashingspectacular]

Great cover of my new favorite song!!!

[thriftriffs]

Fantastic Cover, nailed the transition 🤲

[ultrastatic]

Was just thinking of this song today. Awesome job dude

[hokiehi]

Shit.. 8 years old and I'm just finding this. What a fucking cover. Great work!

[hxconetwothree]

Excellent cover dude. Like ridiculously good.

[MrScalzo]

I say this respectfully, but it sounds like Rivers Cuomo from Weezer....few people can actually channel the voice of Mangum

[Mr]

Damn bro you really landed the bit, nice cover!

[virgil]

I recently got into NMH & found this song from a live performance. You did a great cover of it, if you are doing a cover of the live version itself. Anyways, also new to guitar as well I know not much. I want to say thank you, because of you I was able to learn this in less that 30 minutes after watching your video. Once again great cover man!

[McMorr]

I love this so much 😭😭 gave me goosebumps ❤️

[allanwatanabe]

Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world
And I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
And some you leave behind
It gets hard to explain
The gardenhead knows my name

Leave me alone, for you know this isn't the first time
In fact this is twice in a row
That the angels have slipped through our landslide
And filled up our garden with snow
And I don't wish to taste of your insides
Or to call out your name through my phone
For the glory boys at your bedside will love you
As long as you're something to own

Follow me through a city of frost covered angels
I swear I have nothing to prove
I just want to dance in your tangles
To give me some reason to move
But to take on the world at all angles
Requires a strength I can't use
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
Of all that is hoping and waiting for yo

[shakebeforeusage]

this is a great cover where did you get the tabs/sheet music for this?

[KauanRMKlein]

I could sing this song and others before my voice started cracking. My cousin would play the guitar, a friend would play the tambourine and I would sing. I was terrible, 'cause I would run out of breath during, and sometimes my voice would break with emotion or my cousin would break up in laughter 'cause she was always high... those were Facebook videos but I bet some of them found their way into youtube. I hope not.
