Five Years

[hebdomad3710]

I grew up listening to Bowies hunky dory era and love your covers but do think this would sound better without the melodic harmonies added. I look forward to hearing more from you in the future, any chance you could cover tom pettys room at the top of the world ??? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese lol, well done girl .

[MrVideoRater1]

You are Canada's Katie Melua. Your video's are superb to.

[jairusbilo]

GREat COVER! you did this song justice.

[RnDEntertainment]

Erin, this is Excellent work. Are all the background vocals you? If so, then bravo.

I think the web cam gives the overall video a unique; personally intimate style. A real heartfelt performance. Thanks I enjoyed It. GB. Ray

[AndrewCostaOmgzzz]

Wow, you made this song so lovely.

[1ultravox]

wow you sing very very good

[stilly2009]

Fantastic.. I love this song.. I bought the album when I was 16.. and I am very old now!!!love your version of this song.. brilliant..

[erinmerle]

You're lucky! As a young teen I bought "Earthling" and though it is a good album, I still wish I was teenager in the 70s! It took me a while to finally hear Bowie's masterpieces like Ziggy and Lodger.

Thank you for your kind words <3

[mentalmoomin]

i have always absolutely loved this song...it was my first ever taste of Bowie and what an impact it had ..WOW..well done !! xxx

[erinmerle]

Thank you!

[ninkly]

Ziggy Merle Dust! Sounds good! Glad to see you playing guitar again...Can you play "Safe Distance" with your wrist yet? This is one of my favorite Bowie songs and I like how it's about universal love in a kind of morbid way. The video appropriately showcased your humanity which fits the content. Lol (in a good, appreciative way) at 1:42!

[erinmerle]

Haha! Oh, my twitchy face. Yeah, it's a poignant line for a loner like me.

I did in fact play "safe distance" during this take. My hands are a bit weak so my playing was hindered but I'll give it a whirl again soon. Thanks for the words of encouragement :)

[mikefenn00]

another beautiful rendition that i find myself pulling up and listening to multiple times a day. thank you

[erinmerle]

Thanks Mike. I'm so glad you enjoyed :) It's a fabulous tune, Bowie deserves all the credit.

[guitarad]

Loved it !

[erinmerle]

Thanks, friend :)

[sonnenberg]

Looks and sounds great to me. Wouldn't change a thing.

[erinmerle]

Many thanks :)

[drumjoey]

Uhg ! I LOVE IT ! Another good one lady ! Once again you inspire me to do better as a musician. Your getting better with every "upload" ......

[erinmerle]

I am inspired to have inspired!

[Harno3]

Wonderful....

[erinmerle]

Thank you dear friend <3

[sghed]

Hello... love this song, your set changes are (always) the finest.... Erin I really love your voice, but I still prefer without the chorus effects as in these track... the camera shots are ok, and I like the intimate light.... All the best!

[erinmerle]

Hi Sghed. Thanks but I don't have chorus on my voice, those are harmonies I over dubbed.

[mrpentium]

Hi. You're also editing your videos now, I see. Since you're putting more effect into the production side of it (tracking, camera shots), may I suggest light effects. Yopu voice will always be the best part, though

[rhopen]

Wonderful. The vocal additions make this a truly marvelous experience. -Ron

[KarenEng]

Wonderful singing and song! Thanks for sharing Rob! ;)

[modelleg]

Isn't sung with the kind of dismay that is appropriate to the Bowie song, but groovy nonetheless.

[Projoiner1]

Wow, great job.

Thanks for sharing this I really enjoyed it.

Peace

[plastixidol]

nevermind.. think you might have tracked the harmonies.. heh..

[erinmerle]

Yes, I did track them but I am so flattered that they almost sound tight enough to be an effect.

[plastixidol]

what harmony processor are you using on this? (btw.. five stars) - I just got the tc helicon voicelive and this is a great inspiration for starting to use it..

[RnDEntertainment]

Erin, what a great rendition of this song. 5*****s all the way!

Excellent performance, recording, and background vocals.

You have a great way with vocal intonations and delivery. Stay well and Happy New Year. GB. Ray

[scottsdunlop]

Huh, so you play the guitar. You make singing seem so easy. Fantastic fucking harmonies on the background vocals. Probably my favorite part of the song.

[1ultravox]

can i make one request

never let me down by david bowie

happy new year

[erinmerle]

my pleasure, thanks for watching :)

[xImSoSickx]

Woah, you're playing guitar again. (: Wrist all better?

[erinmerle]

Yes I am! Just once in a while though. I don't want to push my luck as it still flares up every now and then.

[jugnutgut2]

whoa! that was awesome

[erinmerle]

Thanks so much :)

[buniluvr]

Your voice is so SWEET! Beautiful acoustic cover; brilliant harmonies. All stars to YOU!

[MyNameIsRyanSayler]

I keep getting blown away by your music... seriously. Your voice is perfect.

[erinmerle]

Thanks Ryan :)

[doctorcastille]

A beautiful gift this is. Thanks !

Wrist feeling better?

[erinmerle]

Glad you liked it! My wrist is a lot better, stronger and when it does flare up it is likely to heal faster. I can do most things I did before, just not as often :)

Happy New Year Doc!

[brandfan001]

Wonderful, I absolutely love it. You're voice is as good as ever, if not better. I am simply blown away by your amazing voice. Everytime I see one of your posts it makes me smile. You are simply fantastic. I cannot wait for your next video.
