Gives the original a much-needed luster.

Ha! Who says men can't multi-task! Excellently arranged and played.

You make me want to learn it even more. This is way too beautiful.

I haven't listened to enough of these guys, shame on me

Awesome musicianship. How to make a great song even better. I still find myself returning to this after years. It’s the definitive version now.

Just for the record, I recorded on 21st June, released on 24th June and the single was released on 6th June. No illegal downloading. But thankyou very much for your kind words :-)

The original is fantastic but this is beyond wonderful.

love the original, but this pushes the song to another level of greatness.....

Fantastic Ric they keep getting better. The sound and video are excellent.

Hello! Many thanks for your comment - Yes they have been in touch, just to pass on their appreciation, which is fantastic! I've not played any Philip Glass, but I've been floored by his contemporaries Reich and Xenakis!

I think this was twice as fun for me to watch because I'm a percussionist in high school, with an instructor constantly telling us to play what isn't wirtten on the sheet music (emotion), and that's exactly what you did. This was a treat to hear.

Adorable smile at the end:)

You have made this song so much better, they should hire you.

it's magical!!! replay... on and on!!

A w e s o m e . . . uff... After watching this I don't know what to look for... I've seen enough.

wow Grizzly Bear is progressing to new sounds illove it!

THIS is beauty...gracias, Ric Elsworth

And voila, this is soooo much better version than original. Xylophone and other percussion adds a whole new dimension to the song!

♪♪♪♪♪♪ Grizzly Bear ..the playing xylophone and drums are very fluid in balance perfect accompaniment. You should be be very proud of this work . I dig it. I like it . Very smooth and exotic to me. it is like a journey traveling song for Ric thanks for posting it. I have new band I like now thanks. ☾ ԼƠƔЄ ♪♪♪♪♪♪

So impressive. Glad to see I wasn't the only one obsessed with this song.

The sound is so rich!

Great job, what you added to it was beautiful.

i just watched this 10 times.... it got better ever listen :)

Tremendous! Absolutely spectacular!

You can't please everybody! I'm so overwhelmed by how well it has been received.

Pretty bloody marvelous.

Absolutely sir, and congratulations on this.

This made me very happy... thank you sir

This needs WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more views. ;)

That is some serious hand eye coordination.love these guys

sounds like it was always supposed to have the warm marimba on this track, beautifully played.

Oh god, I actually didn't sleep the first night I heard it. Over and over and over again. Very interesting channel you have by the way :-)

I didn't know what going on here, I kept wondering where is the rest of the band... read the comments and realized this is brilliant. You should tour with GB!

this is actually quite genius!!

Fits perfectly to the song. Headblowin' interpretation of sleeping ute and just magic show

...'Love it! Please be encouraged to keep doing 'your thing'! :-R

Game recognize Game... amazing!

Beautiful, beautiful work man. I was nervous at first to hear something added to a great group of musicians but the xylophone fits in so well. You didn't try to overpower the song but each note does not go unnoticed. Bravo.

Wow. Very well done, it sounds great!

this is incredible. the camera shots, the performance, the EVERYTHING. Im so happy i came across this! kudos, animal.

love to see you play live with the band!

Great!! Thank you for this contribution...I hear this song differently,now...

this is fantastic.

BRILLIANT

I'm in love with this version and the original! Wow!

This just makes me smile, I respect creativity and a great performance.

Grizzly Bears should really think about making you a band member. You would really add a lot to the sound.

Awesome vibes!

Havy Grizzly Bear contacted you? Truly this is brilliant! Great performance. Would be interested in hearing you attacking some of Phillip Glass' work as well! Well done sir, well done.

Top notch my man!

pretty cool ! amazing sounds

Wow! Simply amazing. Really really digging the new album.

new album is awesome

Oh, I guess I better go this video is too badass for me. I'll come back later when I'm worthy.

Awesome, song -3

you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is stupid awesome

well recorded, well mixed, well played. pretty damn impressive.

Very nice man. When you add your percussion (tops!) it sounds even more like Tortoise or Mercury rev than ever. Which is fantastic.

FUCKKKK. Greatest thing I've seen on KZread in a VERY long time. Well done!

really good music!

this is beautiful :)

Amazing, great job :D

so good! i love this song

Increíble, Bravo

I hope so, wonderful group of musicians.

I found this track months ago...your version is my first introduction to this song, and this band. I think your version makes the original sound flat by comparison. I cannot listen to the original without hoping to hear the clear tones of the vibraphone with the timpani breaks! So forever, this track is yours...awesome job.

Amazing skills...

Awesome...

Vibes & tympani, way col!

how i wish this was up for download

awesome! love it!

Amazing.

Holy shit this is awesome.

wow! such a talent!

I might be mistaken to say that is a marimba, but I just want to say I always find rhythmic instruments such as that are always mesmerizing, just as this whole video was. Fantastic!

Beautiful sounds and beautiful song and It reminds me Jeff Buckley

That's great, Ric. I admire your talent. Lin and I have occasional meals with your parents whenever they are over in Javea, and often talk about you. Keep it up!

Love it, really compliments the track. Didnt think Sleeping Ute could get any more epic - i was wrong.

Thanks mate !

Wahouuu magical !

This is beautiful work. Truly, "complementary" percussion. All the best to you in future endeavours!
