STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING (ROBERT FROST COVER)

[Enveilla]

Oh damn, I've read this poem today for the first time and it immediately have become my favourite. Then I thought - oh, how damn beautfiul it would be as a song, so I typed it and your version blew me away. Perfect.

[songblurred]

Very cool, Dan. Frost has some great ones. His poems have registered more with me than a great many other poets.

[coolanddark]

@songblurred Thanks Don! Brook in the city by Robert Frost is another great poem someone should make a song out of!

[ronniespirit893]

it's the darkest night of the year and time to play you on the radio again. thanks for such a great song, youve done this poem such justice. Thanks have a great new year!

[coolanddark]

@ronniespirit893 Thanks very much! Such a great poem by Robert Frost! Not the best sound recording but I`m glad you like it! Merry Christmas!

[skulduggery22]

@coolanddark this is really skulduggery22. the computer at the radiostation is ronnnie....

[coolanddark]

@skulduggery22 huh?

[skulduggery22]

@coolanddark just scroll up or down . Ive replied to you before and play you on the radio these past 2 christmass'. the last on the soltice. peace

[coolanddark]

@skulduggery22 Oh yeah I remember now! Thank you! Im glad you like this one but its really a dinosaur recording just for the record. I should do a better recording one day. I even have a fancy condenser mic! and new software! Im also a drunk now so that might mess it all up. or make it better I dont know. Thanks for playing it on the radio! Robert Frost was a genious!!!!!!

[skulduggery22]

@coolanddark leave it as the relic that it is. sorry to hear about the drinking, we all have demons.I cant write mine out too many eyes. since you admit it you could be half way there to getting help. Peace

[airiesman]

so lovely to listen to this masterpiece poem set to such a lovely tune on this, the winter solstice here in Australia ... this is our "darkest evening of the year" and it meant so much to me to hear it right now ...the right poem and song at the right moment ...thank u Dan for doing such a good job ...never get tired of listening to the way u have presented this for Robert Frost ...

[coolanddark]

@airiesman Thanks very much! I was going to do this over but everyone seems to like this version I`ll just leave it up. Such a great poem I had to put some music to it.

[zaqareemalcolm]

To be honest, the song went well with the "surface meaning"

But it didn't really suit the "hidden meaning" of the poem

But good job anyways : D

[AstiSaurus]

This is fantastic. I had a day to memorize this poem for a teen poetry recitation competition and this helped me so much. :D Major kudos to you.

[TheRachaleen]

This is such a great song, i was planning on using it for my Robert Frost project, but first i'd like to get your permition to do so.

[coolanddark]

@TheRachaleen THanks! I would be honored and I bet Robert Frost would be to! I have a better version up on you tube if you want to use that one. Thanks!

[skulduggery22]

its that time again for an annual airplay. happpy new year and all your plans. miles to go. Peace

[dannyknapp]

I admit I skipped ahead to this one cuz it's so cool. gotta put some of these on a cd like you do. so I can concentrate on my beer drinking.

[coolanddark]

Thanks Danny! Ol Mr Bobby Frost sure had a way with words! If i knew 4,000 people would listen to this i would have tuned my geetar up more better lol

[XDBroadwaybabiieX3]

there already is a song of it...

but its way different

[littlefurybug]

We're singing a version of this poem by Randall Thompson, and it's gorgeous. You put this poem to music very appropriately, and your voice sounds gorgeous with it too! It's a lot different than the Thompson arrangement, but it sounds great. Good job!

[Cherisey1]

I was looking you up on my iTV and saw this one and had to go back to my computer so I could comment. Robert Frost one of my all time favs. Loved the song! Tx makes me want to pull out my guitar and really learn to play it.
