Blue Valentines - Tom Waits - (Cover)

[SiarheiPilat]

Man, that's awesome... Greetings from Russia

[forzainter02]

it's a good cover..a good try...

btw..i sincerely hope you never will be able to sing this song..really..too much pain to walk in..too much..

[lerasolo]

what a great version. wonderful job

[Joe22c]

Very well done. I think I need to lie down now.

[rosymary37]

orribleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

leave it to sing tom waits is not for evryones

[YoManOne]

marvellous singer!!!!.......particular, expressive and incisive voice!

[lorddismay]

dangerous business indeed. id wanna say it sounds too .............. "happy?"  but thats probably because its nearly impossible to sound as sad as tom in this song. great cover anyway.

[theraven391]

An honest effort, and better musicianship than I generally hear or adhere to when it comes to Tom Waits. Too much echo though; the beauty of the original track is that he seems to spit the lyrics out reluctantly, and naked of effects like a confession rather than a composed piece. The rawness digs deep, which is what your glossed over cover missed, but not by too far. Don't be discouraged, it takes a lot or balls to put it out there in any case.

[vinven24]

it sounds like ireland or texas...it's not the point....but you are a good player...

[grundik1]

Job well done, mate. Lots of feeling and good tempo.

[gorcsevivan]

You know, I play a lot of Waits on a single guitar, and this is why I am VERY dissapointed, that I can not sing. It is AWESOME!!! Congrats, probably one of the "deepest" covers. Wow.

[Hendrixphreak]

That was very very nice.. I played some solo guitar to it as well... It sounded a bit like Jeff Buckley meets Tom Waits and get's inspired by Leonard Cohen... I like =)

[janet974]

СУПЕР! ИСТИННОЕ НАСЛАЖДЕНИЕ ОТ ЖИВОГО ИСПОЛНЕНИЯ!

[xlovekatie]

Nice cover, man! :)

[jaysawanker]

i can't stop listening to to this version. i NEED this on a disc, man. this is probably my favorite cover i've seen on youtube. nice job!

[DardisMusic]

Send me a message with a postal address and I'll send you a disc - no problem :o)

[azzytheoriginal]

Nice Job, I love Tom Waits and, of course, nobody else has his voice, but this is one good cover version.

[JTho658351]

Top Notch Cover!!!

[katkal3]

nice , you did a great cover of this song, and the blue background is so right.

[emmiemmie]

ooh i like it! (:

[cs292]

this is good, but watch Tom likes to litigate.

[SareTheFish]

This is absolutely mezmerizing

You're amazing

So is Waits obviously, but you put such a nice spin on it!

And you are too humble

[hllucas]

Man, this is one of my all time favorite songs and you did a fantastic job. Beautiful.

[doghousedave]

Nice cover,Waits is the man

[DardisMusic]

No doubt that - thanks for watching!

[VickieBurns2]

you have a beautiful soulful voice. Great job covering one of the greats!!

[DardisMusic]

Thank you sooooo much!

[skitzophonic7556]

-happy. haha my bad, forgot to finish the sentence.xx

[DardisMusic]

LOL.

[skitzophonic7556]

Wow, the first substantial cover of Blue Valentines I've heard so far. interesting choice of chord progressions(think it's in G# where as the original is in D min9)too. I think you missed out on one chord inside the progression, but it's just too good to care. Thanks so much dude, you made my ears really:).

[DardisMusic]

Thanks for the comments. I really don't know how happy I am with this to be honest because I know the original too well. And you're right, I adjusted the chords to suit my own voice. Thanks a lot for checking the version out (and for your kind comments!)

[bentonio07]

No, not a bad job at all!

You're a wizard at creating atmosphere

[DardisMusic]

I think we call it reverb ;o) There's certainly lots of that anyway!

[bentonio07]

LoL, come on you're too humble

[schabitu]

thumbs up! i`m proud of you.

[DardisMusic]

Thanks!

[dleeoriginals]

ah great, love the effect. i am going to have to check Tom Waits if he wrote this

[DardisMusic]

Tom has written some simply wonderful tunes - doing them any justice at all is a bonus but I think it's quite difficult for a lot of Waits fans to hear covers of his work. It's just so individual (and wonderful).

[AntonioBLeonhardt]

Hi Kevin!

Great cover!

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Antonio!

[prboyd]

You can always tell when someone loves what they are playing/singing. Very nice indeed Kevin. 5*****

[DardisMusic]

Thank you doctor!

[prboyd]

Lol!

[Magemastrtom]

Absolutely amazing

[DardisMusic]

Thanks!

[ghanlon]

Well this was moody. lol

Loved it!

[DardisMusic]

Hi George, good to hear from you. Moody it is indeed - glad you liked it!

[KathaleenWhisper]

another wonderful song. *hearts* loves

[DardisMusic]

Thanks for the continued support Kathaleen!

[bear9253]

Spot on my friend. Mr. Waits would be thrilled with your version. You navigated these dangerous waters magnificently. *****

[DardisMusic]

YOU ARE TOOOOOOOO NICE TO ME BEAR :o)

[citizenstand]

one of the best hoiday songs of all time after "here comes peter cotton tail" :)

[DardisMusic]

Thanks for watching and commenting Amin. I was actually thinking about you and Tom Waits before I recorded this.

[waitswatcher]

I like your take on that song... simply as that.

:-)

applaudingly, ww

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Pascal.

[hhartely35]

feeling blue... so this was perfect

[DardisMusic]

I'll try to get something yellow for you - see how that makes you feel ;o) Thanks for watching Joern.

[ACU5TIC]

Excellent, I checked out the original and your version is far better,bluer than blue!

[DardisMusic]

Ohhhhh, a bit of an exaggeration but thanks. I think that, knowing the original so long, I will always find it difficult to listen to other versions. Especially my own.

[Premedia]

My valentines are forever blue, and so this is an appropriate personal theme song. And once again you tell the story, man.

[DardisMusic]

Thank you Luis.

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

softly stunning. memories.

[DardisMusic]

♡

[WizKil]

wow that was truly soulful!! 5*****

[DardisMusic]

Thank you sir! Much appreciated!

[Tilly220]

Not heard the original-but I don't need to now cos it couldn't beat this :D

[DardisMusic]

The original is on a completely different planet, I think but nice sentiment! Thanks Tilly!

[Dave64G]

Hi Kevin, Once again you have delivered a great video. Your vocals and music are always amazing 5* my friend. This is in my Fav's for sure

Dave

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Dave!

[psychomessiahs]

That is one of my favourites by Tom Waits. You do it well, no need to ask for forgiveness ;) Thank you

[DardisMusic]

Thanks Andreas. I am a long way off the original but thanks for the nice comments!

[redflags123]

Listening to you sing the blues feels like Kerouac must have felt when he heard the Bird play his sax.

The choice of song is brilliant, your interpretation is masterful and your voice is bewitching.

[DardisMusic]

What a comment - you just keep coming up with amazing compliments! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

[redflags123]

Thing is, it's easy when it's true.

[rcalliec]

blue...songs are like tattoos...;-)

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

and memories.
