Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
Музыка
The 2010 smash hit from Arcade Fire. Indie music is becoming a bit of a guilty pleasure.
Played on a Martin DR with a Fishman Rare Earth active pickup.
Video recorded on an iPhone 4S, Audio recorded with a pair of Samson CO2's and a DI through a Presonus interface.

I come back to this every now and then
I keep returning. Magical fingerpicking. And that voice. The man sure knows how to harmonize.
that picking pattern is godly : D
This is one of the more underappreciated of Josh's video's. It should have a much higher number of views, as the performance is clearly top notch. I guess his high output makes it easier to miss some of the many hidden gems on his channel.

IMO this is not only his best cover but one of the best covers I've ever seen on KZread. That arrangement is a masterpiece.

I've been a big Josh fan for years, and I've only found this video now, while searching for the microphones he's using here, a great coincidence. It's incredible how he sounds infinitly better than other people using the same pair of mics!
Easily the best Sprawl II cover on KZread. What a legend.

Best Arcade Fire cover on youtube.

I have to agree on KZread
Hey dude. Wish it hadn't taken me 2.5 years to see this. One of my favorite songs done true justice. GREAT job! Regine and Win should see this.
How come after years of watching Josh the algorithms haven’t picked this up. It’s great.
I watch this so much it's permanently in my recommended. It never gets old.
Thought I'd seen all his stuff. Just discovered this one. How can anyone be this good?

bolark60 I’m late finding this too
Josh's best cover ever? I certainly think so. Just a genius arrangement played absolutely beautifully.
I've been watching your videos for 10 years but I've always missed this one! I don't even know how that's possible. Amazing!
I feel like I should be able to give this a new up vote every time I hear it.

Me too! Sometimes I listen to something and go to upvote it only to be disappointed that I already did, haha. I usually post a comment then, to help the algorithm know people are still "engaging" with the video.
oh my god.. its perfect. how you play your guitar and how you sing. 4 thumbs up.
I have to admit that was superb.
Every time I think I’ve found Josh’s best video, a new one pops up 👍👍👍👍👍👍
you have my admiration... only one thing better than you singing, is you harmonizing with yourself. Thanks to both of you.
I can't count how many times I listed to this song ... this amazing guitar playing and singing is just ineffable!!! Brilliant my friend !
Amazing singing but even more amazing, i think, are all the guitar and bass parts being played at the same time. Inspiring
This is still my favorite song on this channel. Between the guitar work and the production it's just so damn good.
I've been coming back to this video for years now. Easily my favorite cover of any song on KZread
Josh you are quite a force to be recon with! I've listen to you and Carson, and your band of musician that come and go and I just get more & more impressed. On one of your KZread there was a quote "the worst thing a musician can do is to take themselves to seriously" I believe that's or close at 63 my memory shot, but live by that have fun playing when it becomes a burden step back and laugh at yourselves. I've played since I was 12/13 play from baptisms to weddings to funerals,played in Europe, Viet nam ( drafted) but playing has been the best friend I have ever had..sorry for the length, but thank you and you're partners in crime you make me smile!
Man, so nice. So beautiful I teared up a bit at the end. WELL DONE!
I love this cover. I listen to it almost every week. It's amaizng. Keep up the amazing work.

A real gem of a song. Great performance too.
Awesome. Just tremendous.

Once again, a new artist remakes a previously recorded song and brings it alive to create the emotions in the listener that reflects the words. Thank you again!

That was just excellent! Your bass line was so good that one could be fooled into thinking you were backed up by a bass player if you weren't watching the video. Really enjoy your stuff.
Superb! I really like your arrangement of the song. Great picking and a wonderful vocal.

Having trouble watching your videos because of how jealous they make me of your musical abilities! Keep up the amazing work man, wish there were more musicians like you today
Your taste for music is just fenomenal

Woah. This is like...really good.
Yo man this is fabulous.
Dear Josh: Simply beautiful vocals and instrumentation. You really get all of a song, inside out, outside in and blend it into s superb performance. It's a privilege to watch and hear you sing. Keep it going. Best, Richard T.
so talented!! nice one!
Bless you. Thanks from Brooklyn n.y
Love it. Never heard of Arcade but intend to find 'em and listen.
Honestly I don't know why this doesn't have more views... post it to Reddit... There are only a few songs that can take a song and not only do it justice - but take it to another level where the words are the same; yet the feeling of the song is completely changed.
I was searching for covers of this song... Just looking to see how other people would play it... Came across this version, and I almost skipped it. What an excellent cover. I'm amazed.
Holy be jesus! you have an enormous ammount of talent!
Awesome job!
Unbelievable! Both thumbs up!!
amazing cover. i stumbled across your stuff a few months ago and just enjoy listening to all that you do. as an amateur musician (banjo and guitar), you are awesome to watch. your style of music and interpretations are incredible, keep it up...
Holy shit this was absurdly brilliant.
