exile (Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver) from “folklore” - Sam Tsui Acoustic Cover 

So much fun getting the chance to exercise a lower vocal register than I usually sing in (thanks, Bon Iver!) - and what a beautiful song!! What do you want to hear us cover next?

One of my favorite songs from the folklore album. 💫🤍

I haven't heard this song before, however I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan. But now I don't even want to!!! You, Casey, and Rhett Price have the ability to take a song that I don't like and making something that I put on my playlist or at the very least my liked songs playlist on spotify that I listen to on repeat!!!

The "I'm not your problem anymore" part hits really hard...

Struggling a little bit at the moment and came across this song on an acoustic covers playlist and I have to say one of the best songs I've listened to that has hit me in the feels! Such a beautiful rendition (better then the original if I can say so myself! :P ) and congratulations on making such beautiful work to share with everyone!

Wow best one.

Superb performance!!!

my swiftie heart loves it too much

Damn, Those low notes are amazing.

❤️❤️❤️

wow what a beautiful cover, you have great talent :)

Yes 😭🤩

Next cover #August please 🥺 You are soo good @Sam

I love you babe

I am Listening Sam's version before Taylor's version ❣️

Who else loves "I think I've seen this film before" part

It’s beautiful how people have the talent to change the notes and melodies in a small ways to sound so beautiful. Covers are works of art.

I didn't realize you had such a low register capability! Beautiful

The guitarist is just living in his own world

mans sang in three different octaves with ease 😭

For an introverted person like me - exile is best thing that happened to me to discover myself. How can I commit to someone in life if I don’t know my own soul?

Imagine if he would have covered this with Christina Grimmie 🥺

I loved the cover, but I also want to compliment on the guitarist, so beautifully played!

CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A MASHUP LIKE 1989 BEFORE PLEASE, * FOLKLORE MASH UP!!!!!*

Sam: sings really low Me: WHO’S THAT

Lyrics: I can see you standing, honey With his arms around your body Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all And it took you five whole minutes To pack us up and leave me with it Holdin' all this love out here in the hall I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defending now? You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out I think I've seen this film before Ooh, ooh, ooh I can see you starin', honey Like he's just your understudy Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me Second, third, and hundredth chances Balancin' on breaking branches Those eyes add insult to injury I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending I'm not your problem anymore So who am I offending now? You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out I think I've seen this film before So I'm leaving out the side door So step right out, there is no amount Of crying I can do for you All this time We always walked a very thin line You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out) You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs) All this time I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind) I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around) 'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs) So many signs, so many signs You didn't even see the signs I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defending now? You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out I think I've seen this film before

I love how he kept it as a duet doing both parts himself! Talent!

You know that feeling where you don't realize you need something till you get it? That's how this beautiful cover made me feel.

The lower register was an amazing surprise! A fantastically lovely cover that tugged on my heartstrings. Well done!

Life is too short to pretend you don't like Taylor Swift Btw Today I'm uploading a cover of this song Checkit

Omg when he sang Taylor's part with a low voice I was so surprised! I didn't expect that at all!

Great job with the low notes!! I'm not used to hearing you sing down there, but it was so cool!

The lower register is freaking beautiful!!!! And the shift from lower to high notes was freaking great!!! ❤️🥺

Omg I love this!!! The register combination thing 😍😍and the low notes, and the high ones, way too much for us mortals!!!

Your voice works so well with this song!! You should so do a few more songs from Folklore!!

Wow! It was unexpected to hear your low voice! Love it! So creative to start low and go higher and higher!!!

I'm so used to hearing your upper register and a lot more instrumentation--I like the fact that you're exploring your range, and I love that you simplified on the music. I feel a lot going on can be a distraction (or an attempt to cover flaws for some musicians). This showcases your skill.

Hear you performing this made me remember your cover with Cristina Grimmie, wishing she were still around to sing it with you.

The dislikes were people who couldn’t see what button they were pushing through their tears

Normies : focused on the singer singing Musicians : starin at the guitar chords for arrangement ideas

God, your voice is so freakin stunning. Love the emotion you put into this ❤️ great jobs guys :-))

who else can't stop replaying this video 🥺

Sam always finds a perfect way to bring the original song a new breath of life with his wonderful covers! Such already a masterpiece by Taylor before Sam made it even better than imaginable! 😍❤️🎵

This is so different than you usually sing. Your voice sounds awesome.

A cover i didn't know i needed right now. Thank you Sam; for the second time in my life, your voice was there at the right time and place (the first time was when I heard 'Me Without You') Anyway, you might never see this comment in a sea of comments, but i just want to say I appreciate your existence, thank you for singing and saving me from drowning in the depths of my own mind yet again. 🙏❣

You didn't realize you just sing taylor's part "I gave so many signs....." Yes me too😂

Taylor Swift is such a amazing songwriter. 💝 Nice cover!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE ALBUM 😭😭😭😭

Just amazing! This is such a beautiful song I can’t choose my most favorite song from Taylor’s album! Ok man I see that vocal change at 1:21!! I would appreciate if someone could give a listen to my recent cover! :)

Wow! This cover is hauntingly gorgeous! Sam, your voice is so rich in your lower register. It was an incredible treat to hear it. And your upper register is so crystal clear and precise like a laser. Thank you so much for doing this cover. It's wonderful.

What an amazing cover! Love the way you change your vocals from singing with your raspy low register voice to singing with a high pitched voice.

The talent jumped out of his mouth so effortlessly. 😍😳

OMGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! This is soooooo amazinggggggg!!!!!!! Loooooooove this!!!!!!!!!! Soooooooooo INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!! 😍💗💗💗💗

Thanks for everything Sam. You have given all of us the chance to enjoy the emotions of joy, sorrow, anger, among all others, in this song too. The happiness that you have given me is infinite. Everytime you post a video, a wide smile spreads on my face. Your songs, arrangement, voice and you are my favorite. Just thanks for being you. Thanks for everything 🙂

Something is different about him, in a beautiful way. I can't quite put my finger on it. Intriguing

I didn’t know you could sing that low... wow! This was incredible.

"You're not my homeland anymore" Homelander from The Boys popped into my head

Fantastic vocal range...nice cover.

Love the registers you’re using this song sounds like it was written for you! Good job ❤️

OMG 😭😭😭😭😭😭 THIS IS BEAUTIFUL I'M CRYING

I loved this cover. Taylor must hear this beautiful cover.

Love Taylor Swift, love your covers. Thank you to Bon Iver for a deep voice, I love hearing your range Sam. All in all, good job guys! 💯😍💜👏👏

It makes me cry. 😭 Love it. Thank you Sam.💝

Me opening the vid : My brain: put the like even before the song starts Me : Ok (without any confusion.)

Here is one for every guys who tried but can’t hit the “now” note.

I don’t feel exiled from this! And I’m so happy I’m not.
