"what's that noise?" "Oh it's just my neighbors doing Simon and Garfunkel covers, you get used to it"

11 years later and this is still as perfect as the first day I heard it

"You play the tree too?"

this is what freedom sounds like

This is the most authentic thing I have ever seen

this some great percussion - literally playing a tree couldn't ask for anything better

Can’t believe this was 14 years ago. Still so good 💛

it’s 2021 and this is still my favorite cover ever 🥺

This has been my favorite thing on the WHOLE internet for several years now. Completely AWESOME. :)

2023 and this is still one of my favorite videos on KZfaq

Watching, listening, and grinning from ear to ear. So much fun and so good.

Digne de leurs interprètes, bravo à vous, continuer a nous faire rêver. Vous êtes super.

Thus, the answer to the age-old question: how does one play a cooler? One of my favorite Simon & Garfunkel songs, these guys are awesome.

It's so beautiful, it's amazing that every one can hit those notes so reliably. good job boys you should be proud. Music is as close to a divine language as we can hope to get, I hope you boys are still spreading the love around.

A favorite cover through the years. Always come back to this

“All we have is this chair, cooler, xylophone, snare drum, guitar and a tree....let’s do some Simon and Garfunkel.”

Still love this to this day. Keep on keeping on guys, Music is a beautiful thing.

Thanks for sharing this performance. Great version of the song....and guys, you are having a lot of fun playing it! ...great going.

Seriously! These guys are a hidden gem. Saw them with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros back in Philly and Local Natives stole the show.

After watching Cecilia covers on KZfaq all night long, this one is by far the best! Most entertaining, thanks 😊

You did Simon & Garfunkel justice with this cover.

How cool would it be to be their neighbours?

I wouldnt mind having neighbors like this. Well done gents! Love the vibe and the dude using the tree as a drum. You guys are great!

Saw these dudes perform in santa barbara a few years back when they were called Cavil at Rest and loved their stuff right from the jump. Bought there CD at that show and have been playing it consistently ever since.

THESE GUYS ARE GREAT !

I wonder if they have to take that tree on the road with them when they go on tour.

I absolutely love this.

i cant stop smiling watching this video! also i love how he just carelessly throws his sticks in the air after the xylophone solo

I'm old enuf to remember the original version by Simon and Garfunkle ad this one rocked it (and yes, much better then the Vamps cover).

Growing up I always had people singing me this song and I hated it. This is the first time I've ever liked it. My name sounds good in this song when you guys sing it.

nothing better than great musicians with great taste!

You've made our night!!! Incredible! We're gonna go watch this again!

What?!?! That’s friggin awesome!!! So fun!! 🤗🤗

The tree is one of their band member. And it sounds great!

friggin superb!! AWESOME PERCUSSION!! excellent vocals!! you guys nailed it

Wow! I'm grinning from ear to ear! You guys are cool! thanks

this is amazing, well done. the xylophone and tree drumming is really just the icing on the cake

the tree is thinking:you're shaking my confidence daily....

WOW!!! You guys effin ROCK!! That was amazing! One of my favorite songs, ever....

I keep coming back and playing this version..I looove it!!!!

ya'll rock. this is a beautiful cover. bringing awesome energy to one of may fav songs. wish is knew you i would totally beg to sing with you on any S&G covers you do.

Wow! Most covers are a bit wah-wah, but not this one! Original and faithful combined, great job!

Absolutely fabulous. You all look like your havin a great time which makes it more pleasurable to watch. Keep up the good work n don't stop having fun. X

Sheer musical magic! Fantastic!

First thing i said when i heard the original version of this song was: Damm, Local Natives must love this thing!

I think this is great simply because they are not only preforming a great cover but they are also showing us that anybody can do this if they set their mind to it.

you guys are enjoying the hello out of this song. so beautiful!!

You guys have just rocked my soul...

Guys, you are truly AMAZING!

Awsome tree fills. I'm digging it. Hahaha

I love it! Brilliant! And that xylophone!

Amazing! Love that the guy plays the tree. Harmonies awesome!

The quality of this is extraordinary. Not just in how well you each performed, but also how well what appears to be a single microphone captured all of this while playing outdoors. It almost sounds like it could have been professionally mixed as each part is perfectly balanced. I am very impressed. And it sure looked like it was a lot of fun. :)

never get's old

Wauw., what an energy! I simply LOVE it!

Absolutely wonderful!!! I had the 45rpm back in the day. You guys nailed it.

Simply charming. The tree drumming. The harmony. The energy. This cover made me incredibly happy, ha-ha. My great grandpa used to sing this to my great grandma, Cecilia. You've made 'em proud. (: Definitely the best cover I've heard in awhile.

"I play the tree." "And I play the drink cooler."

Absolutely fantastic!

Awesome - you guys are smokin!! Great harmonies - love the Xylophone solo!

I randomly remembered this so I searched “Cecilia tree” and found it lmao

Way better than the vamps version :D this one is amazing

I love this! You guys make me *SMILE* God bless your hearts.

One of the best songs ever!!! Great cover....

i wish i could do this kind of thing every day of my life. i need more musical friends.

I remember converting this into an MP3 and putting it on my iPod in 2013. And that was 10 years ago. Fuck.

I love this! This is one of my favorite songs - what a great cover! I LOVE that he's playing the tree.

You guys have just rocked my soul

Awesome!!! How do you get the tree in tune?

how many of the neighbors came in to see what was going on ?
