Gemma Hayes - Whole Wide World

[natobanatotoo]

KInd of weird...but sexy that two "girls" have good covers of this song on YouTube! B-)

[susancarhan]

Almost as good as Will Ferrell's version...Class!!!

[stjamesg8]

Interesting this video is reversed. Everyone's playing left-handed and I know Gemma plays right-handed. No matter....she's always beautiful.

[thompsonalex]

This version is better than the original. That is a fact...

[kissfan78]

Its a two chord song and she asks how does it start...sheesh,

[fillip27]

@kissfan78

I'd guess that was the lyrics!

[villamartinfun]

Nice cover, shame the bassist misses his intro when she sings bahamas as it gives such a great feel of being in the carib. Love the harmonsing vocals gives it some depth.

Obviously done off the cuff with little practice which gives it its appeal as its more like a jammin session.

Gonna listen to more of her stuff, new to me and great voice.

[Nuthingold1]

@villamartinfun yea you should : ) she has many great songs

[greatmoves123]

My favorite video on youtube

[jonnypats]

she should have changed her for him in the lyrics.... simple to do and it'd make some sense.

[aboutallcz]

Just very great song :-)

[windesque22]

gord bless er

[coolgreensnake]

thisis the the 1st time i ever hear gemma hayes and she sounds amazing one of the best i have ever heared

[Jepetto5]

wait!! hold on! in the vid for nothing can from the same gig there all right handed. this video is backwards. and heres me thinking they were all left handed. i knew it was a bit weird lol

[Jepetto5]

ive just noticed that gemma, the bass player and the other guitarist are all left handed. ive never seen so many lefty's on stage at the same time before. tis cool. just thought i would point it out.

[EarleGirl44xx]

gawd i love gemma!!

[SoydoVT]

funny

when she says when i was a young boy

[OchoaPrideMex4Life]

lol

[broughy84]

This is good, but I think the Proclaimers' cover is better. But opinions are like assholes, we all have one. :)

[jopatkiwi]

@broughy84 true but i don't see how you could think that.. gemma whose gemma, thought was choice.

[soulsong47]

just a great song.

[txbattleborn]

yeah best so far by a girl.....finally

[joejoejoe007]

Wow... best version ever... unreal... Whoever thinks this is a "Monkees" song should be shot in the face... twice.

[bakacz111]

Może napisze tu jakiś Polak :) hehe

[flyseair]

Yes, this is The Monkees original. Find it also here.

[Valerian1]

it was wrongly attributed to the monkees by someone who doesnt know what they are talking about.. the monkees werent even a real band... this is a "wreckless eric" song...

[fillip27]

didn't know the monkees ever wrote anything!

[fillip27]

love this version.......

[NotToMe]

me too!!

[Kevo216666]

Excellent version!!! Love it when the guitars kick in. Nice voice too.

[ohjtbehaaave]

I''ll be the tiebreaker. Wreckless Eric wrote it.... the Monkees did the cover version. Pretty good version too.

[Ziggilo86]

actually the monkees wrote it in 79. and wreckless eric made the cove.

[fogelmatrix]

Actually, I'm pretty sure the Monkees did the cover. It was on their album "Pool It" (1987)

[jahtez]

Could be, but it was also on the 1979 'Big Smash' album by Wreckless Eric, and looking at it, he claims songwriting credits.

I highly recommend that album, if you can find it.

[6pagan9]

all lefty's ay......shes sexy.

[drwahooka]

This is a great cover... of a great song. She makes The Proclaimers version look brutal.

[jthomp32]

I'd go the whole wide world just to find this girl!

[greatmoves123]

I like it!!!

This is the best version of this song

(the whole wide world by wreckless eric)

on youtube

[PropheticallyPoetic]

agreed!

[greatmoves123]

this is the best quality version of this song I've watched/seen so far. excellent.

[maneely111]

Great song, but it's actually written by the monkees and then covered by wreckless eric.

[winterstik33]

you're wrong... written by Wreckless Eric in 1978 (on his self titled debut album) and covered by the monkeys in 1987 (on their pool it album)

[markz88]

actually i think it was written in 1974

[robdude5000]

she even said that it was a cover of a wreckless eric song

[buckleyboy666]

I promise you that she and all her band here are right handed, i saw them on this tour and they all look left handed. Whoever has uploaded the video has flipped it hence why they all look like lefties :)

[rmered67]

There's another video from the same night on Youtube and they're all playing right-handed.

[buckleyboy666]

Agreed, apologies for my last post, They are 100% all right handed. On the tour which this video was taken, i saw her 3 times and everytime bram the bass player was on her left, which ties in with he wideo being flipped. peace

[fakeyellowlight]

gemma plays lefthand??? can someone explain this to me?

thought she plays righthand-guitars...

[thebigmarvinski]

strings them the other way round i think, i never notice she was playing left handed seen her live enough times too

[bostonburn]

So So HOT

[deltadax]

Brilliant! Was at the gig too, great venue and she was amazing.

[tyo101]

a1, cheers! it's in mirror image too...! you wouldn't happen to have a vid for 'A Fond Kiss' - the song she sang on her own when her guitar was being tuned?!

[neenlor]

i was there whoooooop, it was such a good gig

[naryion]

Was there any shooops?

[thatcirclesound]

blahflasjdf;lasjf.
