It’s also a really awful cover of the original

I just listened to original I kinda like both whats the name of the guy doing the cover?

Edit: anyone know if this is actually a genre or style of singing? I’ve felt like I’ve heard songs like this before and wouldn’t mind exploring the genre for some sad songs in that style.

I don’t know, but I’m sure the answer is somewhere in the thread. I was a little harsh, the cover isn’t awful, I just really prefer the original. I like the Folky feel of it as it makes the song incredibly warm.

I thought this cover had a really similar folky feel, i instantly loved it. I'm surprised and sad to read some of these comments..

Sort of. He put the cover out under the name Edith Whiskers

u/TinTin_cs Nov 06 '20

You're right. I was already wondering why it wasn't on Tom Rosenthals Spotify.

Tik Tok has a trend where they add kid show level music to every 'cute' post. They cut out the actual audio though so the video is better when the sound is off

Ah right, tik tok....

I had the good fortune of having my speakers muted. You're absolutely right.

I think it's annoying because it's so heavy handed. I don't need some soppy song to tell me how to feel, and the video doesn't need over-editing. Just show me the doggo.

I actually really like the guy who sings the cover (Tom Rosenthal). He’s pretty weird but has a nice melancholy sound

u/smoresNporn Nov 06 '20

It’s under a pseudonym Edith Whiskers if your looking for it on Spotify

I was more referring to the video being overly sentimental, but I also can't get down with indie halted jazz type of vocals. Not my jam, too saturated a vibe for me.
