Real nice version of a top song

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, 88925 - it certainly is one lovely song. Peace

[guardian1111]

Composition/Re-arrangement at it's best. I like the jazz quality. You two should colaborate.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks again, guardian1111; It would certainly be an honour working with Mary. She's a busy lady though. Peace

[MaryAsinger]

Beautiful version

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks, MaryAsinger, glad you thought so. Peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks so much, daym88. Don't forget to check the original out if you haven't already. Peace

[BloodySerpent]

I love this cover, something about it I like more than the original.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks BloodySerpent. The original's certainly a tough act to follow. I'm glad you enjoy both - Mary's music certainly is food for the soul. Peace

[MelleStar]

I love Mary's music and you done a great cover of her song. Very soulful. :) Melle*

[kienlim]

Beautiful! Thank you and Mary both! Best wishes, Kien

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thank you so much. Peace

[coffeescup]

that sounds great. i wonder what software you are using to edit in the harmonies after, for video.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Just Garageband.. nothing else. I try to limit the number of overdubs but it's difficult recording electrical instruments with my home setup;. Peace

[toobz58]

YOU GOT THA SHIT HAPPENIN MAN !!!!!

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha.. thanks :D

[alkirob]

It's great to see this kind of interplay in the YT music community. I just saw Mary Win live this weekend, which was really fun.

[zzzzzzzzap]

It certainly was life-affirming, and I know that probably sounds cheesy but it was so nice to connect accross the pond. I would love to see Mary live.. Maybe I will some day. Peace

[KrisShred]

Wonderful song and great rendition of your own

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks very much. There's so much to work with on the original I'm sure you'll agree. Mary is a musical magician. Peace

[JackSlow1979]

great song

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks muchly - check the original out if you haven't already though. Peace

[MysteryMusicMaker]

Great interpretation. You singing it a little bit "smoky", that is a interesting variation of her song. The choir is suitabe and all is good. You're a great musician, songwriter and singer.

[MysteryMusicMaker]

Excuse me ... my bad english. I meant "your" and "suitable".

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thank you very much - thanks for checking this out and also for subscribing; I really appreciate the positives. Peace

[shephrdess]

Just getting around to checking out more of your videos. You've created a fantastic arrangement of Mary's song. I've been ZZZZZZZAPPED! Can't wait to hear more from you.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thank you most humbly. It really was a great song to work with - you can't deny the great songwriting. Peace

[artgirlsreality]

*****! All the colors you create here. I have to check out this Mary Win!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Hi Meg. Yeah, check the original out for sure. Hope the musicing's going well for you - did you get your guitar fixed?

[artgirlsreality]

Hi zzzzzzzzzzapie! I peeked at Mary, she is powerful! Need to go back in dive into it. I brought my guitar in last week, parts to order. LOL she'll be like a new girl! Met an UTuber last week here in NYC, Aileen Morgan. Check her OUT! It was so much fun singing and harmonizing with her! She is another kindered spirit!

[zzzzzzzzap]

She most certainly is one talented lady. Must be something in the water there in NY; definitely the place to be :)

[artgirlsreality]

Yep! She is home...now down to do some writing again....ahhhhh!

[ruotze]

Very nice,...isn't this a great song!!

[zzzzzzzzap]

Sure is. Thanks for stopping by. Peace

[piranhamaster]

[mrrad1]

Okay

[mrrad1]

I liked both of it. You guys are awesome :) 5 stars.

[zzzzzzzzap]

That's a really nice thing to say. Thank you!

[Noradne]

wow.... this is so wonderful. The interpretation of this song is so soft and all dreamy and again sad. You are just wonderful. This time I don't know how to express myself, because I can't find the right words. You are my hero, both of you made my day. Thanks for great 3 minutes!

[zzzzzzzzap]

And thank YOU noradne - the 'original' was so easy to manipulate basically because it's such a well written song; plain and simple. Thanks for stopping by noradne. Peace

[greedydijkstra]

You showed the alternative of Blackberry Honey. Great tune indeed........

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks very much - yep, the original is surely a classic in the making; glad you enjoyed the tribute. Peace

[jimski123]

NICE.....kris you make it your own man.....and it sounds great.....I worked 40 hours this weekend sorry it took so long to comment on your new post.....I like how youve decided to listen to the fans and crank up them vocals.

[zzzzzzzzap]

I didn't even know there were that many working hours in the weekend :-| That said, I'm glad you found time to check this out, it's always lovely to hear from you. I look forward to your next post, have you got any ideas what you may be doing? ;-)

[jimski123]

haha none......Which means I should prob start writing some more.....but im fixin to buy a house and my mind has been on that.....but Id like to get something posted today or tommorow...just dont know what

[zzzzzzzzap]

I know what you mean; house 'stuff' definitely eats into your time. No pressure mate. Always look forward to hearing your posts though. Good luck with everything

[kellying]

hey Zap & Kris,nice work!!love it.

i think you both should collaborate,hope to listen to that version:)

i gotta take some 'vacation' on youtube soon

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot.. I will certainly do my best and a safe journey to you. Have fun. Peace

[PiaChio]

[Isodig]

Pure magic man.

[zzzzzzzzap]

thanks isodig. you certainly have a way with words. Peace

[internetcafe111]

Mary, what a honor, isn't it? When do we listen the first duet Mary/zzzzzzzzzap ?

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha.. I'd love to work on something with Mary but the ball is most definitely in her court; I understand she's a busy lady performing and stuff.. we'll just have to see. Thanks for stopping by. Peace

[tiger99882]

dame good man rock on!!

[zzzzzzzzap]

thanks again tiger, 'preciated. Cheers

[marywinmusic]

Zap, you're my songwriting and composing hero.

[zzzzzzzzap]

is there an emoticon for blushing?.... you are too kind Mary

[marywinmusic]

More than glad to always lend you my support : ) Cheers, ~Mary

[slammyjammy38]

I bet you can sing the phone book and it would be moving. You are just awesome. Please Please Please get out there and play! I will even make up the promo material for you!

[zzzzzzzzap]

slammy you are too kind. .. I might just have to take you up on that how soon can you catch a plane to the UK? :P

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Kris, you are just all around wonderful. Both versions are unique and powerful. Your take is so moody and atmospheric; really an inspiration. I can relate to Mary's enthusiasm. You are not only a great sculpture of original works, but also a superb interpretor of others'. I have nothing but confidence in your musical future. I'm off to congratulate Mary! Your friend, Jon

[marywinmusic]

Zap is among the best songwriters here on the tube : )

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks Jon.. Don't know how to respond to that other than to say I'm genuinely pleased you enjoyed. As I've said before, it's always difficult working on someone else's material, knowing how to play it and what you can do with it, avoiding taking liberties but at the same time offering something different.....

[zzzzzzzzap]

I've been lucky twice though (I hope) and I'm terribly grateful that both you and Mary were happy with my cover versions; both markers of respect for two respectively great musicians and songwriters. Peace

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Ever humble and kind. Thanks Kris.

[JohnBach]

This is a great cover. A Mary/Zap collaboration on a new song might be in order. :)

[zzzzzzzzap]

haha.. you'll have to talk to Mary about that one. I think she's a pretty busy lady. Watch this space though is all I can say. A collaboration is a cool idea. Peace

[marywinmusic]

Hi zzzzzzzzap, too many words to lavish your rendition with. I can start by saying this is a fantastic musical job you did and I added your take to my video log. You're an amazing songwriter as we all know and I'm just so thankful/appreciative you spared your extra time in doing your own version of my little tune. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful! Have a wonderful day, ~Mary : ) PS Dare I say better than the original?

[JohnBach]

<fanboy mode on>

Mary, how can you say that it's better?!

There is only one Mary Win, and he's paying homage to you.

</fanboy>

[marywinmusic]

Hi Jon, Fan boy mode, that's great! : ) I swear, he makes it sound like I'm the cover artist, all I'm missing in the title of my original is.. "me singing zap's blackberry honey" lol. Perhaps if I were also a young Caucasian female blatantly displaying my "assets" I'd have a kabillion subscribers hahaha :*) The truth is sad. Cheers your friend, ~Mary

[zzzzzzzzap]

Mary please .. (!) as John says, this is just a homage - I'm nowhere close to the original but if this brought a smile to your face then I'm happy. Peace

[zzzzzzzzap]

homage .. EXACTLY! The original is a classic in the making I'm sure. Peace

[dsws999]

wonderfull redition Zap, and to Mary, well, remember my comment on if only a piano player was added to what you do as I hear in my head, well, I must be psychic, poof, here he is, wow, what the 2 of you could do together, bummer you both are on oposite sides of the planet, :-(, but planes have been invented, :-), both mary and zap, simply wonderfull!!!

[dsws999]

forgot to add, with distance, internet collaborations are a wonderfull thing appearing here on youtube, check out vamosbabe & waitswatcher and what they are doing together, and think about what you both could be doing together, wishing both you Zap and Mary the best, you both sound great,

Peace

DSWhite

[zzzzzzzzap]

That's a very good point - I think it's always nice to see artists bridging the gap and performing together, often at other sides of the world. I think Mary may be a little busy though.. Watch this space I suppose. Thanks again. Peace

[marywinmusic]

Hi dsws999, I won't speak for Zap though I wish here were local too, just so I could watch him perform live. If he ever comes to Seattle I'm going to force him to tour the US with me hehe, promote the daylight out of our shows with the works. You know, 90.3 KEXP would absolutely love his work. And, yes you are a psychic! Cheer your friend, ~Mary

[zzzzzzzzap]

I'm there :-P (but I first have to pluck up the courage to perform live in my home town.. It's coming, I can feel it .. Seattle here we come :P

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks for the positives dsws999 - I'm really glad you enjoyed it - Mary really has a wonderful song there and it was a pleasure interpreting it. Peace

[CasualDaveDotCom]

apples to oranges, both very sa-weet! would love to hear you guys collaborate on a fruit salad

[zzzzzzzzap]

All I can say Mary is, it was an absolute pleasure interpreting it, from start to finish. In a way it was terribly easy to work through, the reason being it's such an incredibly written song.. All credit to you and, no, most definitely not better than the original :) Peace

[ScribbleTunes]

Wonderful, wonderful. Hope you can reveal more of yourself soon! You're like the Clark Kent of YouTube.

[zzzzzzzzap]

It's funny you should say that as I also sport my underwear outside my trousers.. :P Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for checking it out. Peace

[PeteTugby]

Really cool take on Mary's song. I like the the atmosphere you've seem to of effortless put to an all ready fantastic piece of music.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks Pete, nice of you to say - yeah Mary's original is a classic for sure, this is just a tribute. Peace

[rubyted79]

sorry hit the wrong key i meant to say beautiful !!

[CasualDaveDotCom]

man, what an awesome job you did on this tune of mary's, sounds great with the keys, really cool backup vocals, glad I subscribed to you

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thank you sir; it's always a worry that you're going to overstep the mark when you cover someone's tune; especially one as emotive as Mary's original. I'm glad the feedback is good though. Cheers

[rubyted79]

beuatifil rendition,hope mary finds this pleasing,keep them coming.

[marywinmusic]

She likes : )

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thank you very much - I'll certainly try my best

[nicendangerous]

that was beautiful, really not much more to say, absolutely breathtaking

[zzzzzzzzap]

That's a lovely thing to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Peace

[monoTalk]

really like the mood of this, 'specially, "I can't take it.." ~~ will pop over to MW's channel and check out the original ~~ must be living under a rock (*-*)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Thanks a lot - yeah check Mary's original out for sure! Peace
