When I first listened to this I thought "oh wow, Scarlett Johansson likes Steel Train?" so much respect. I mean I still have it for her for coming back and doing a song by her ex.
I'm amazed at the people who thinks the production on this song is bad. Of course its bad, it was done intentionally. Not all music has to follow the crisp clean guidelines that emerged in the 70s. Just listen to the song as it is and you really hear how fantastic it sounds. A beautiful voice like Scarlet Johansson's being able to stick out in a mess of grit and echoed confusion. Its adds so much dimension to the song and gives it character.
But whatever. We're all entitled to our own opinion.
she wasn't "kind of" asked to sing this song, she was absolutely asked to do it. steel train has an entire companion album to steel train with female singers singing their songs. it's not like any of the artists just up and volunteered to do it, she was asked to do it. she's an actress first, not a singer, so it's not like she just goes around covering her ex boyfriend's music for fun anyways or as "a slap in the face."
i can't believe she's actually singing the song of one her ex-boyfriends and thinks she can make it sound better. well she pretty much failed in that attempt...
@MikeLtheSoulChild i realize that but still that's like a slap to the face you break my heart and then you want to sing my music that's not exactly fair even if you do like your ex's song enough to think it should be covered. i love the song personally and i don't her version sucks just not my cup of tea if you know what i mean.
@PaNdasDelight Yeah I know what you mean, I was a little surprised myself to see that they've asked her to do it, and she had accepted to do it, it's a bit weird i'll admit that, but hey if they want her to... maybe he thought he could get her back :) But imagine being Ryan in all of this when Scarlett told him "hey honey I going to the studio to do a song with my ex, be back in a few hours bye". :-)
and i think she did well. her voice sounds great... and i find her cover a bit more emotionally connected than the steel train original.
i think people just need to open their minds to alternative voices and musical styles. Yes their version is shit good... but scarlett's seems alot rawer and more organic. .
yeah i can understand that her sound would be obviously quite different. i do like Scarlett i don't have anything against her and i actually like her other stuff including with Pete Yorn its just that you do have to see how awkward that might seem what she did even i herf ex thinks your voice would be great for his song and i wonder what Ryan must of been thinking when she did it especially when her and Jack and have history and he even sings about her too in his music.
@Ois4Orlando i also think scarlet sounds good. I'm thinking that he probably asked her, because it's about her. Maybe? And it's an emotional song and memory that they can both connect to. Also, i think the entire make up the original is more "raw". For me, her version is a little to electronic to be "raw" for me. But i see where you're coming from.
@scaryxscary Not at all ,Seriously Its kinda original that her voice is not loud cause I find this to be intimate or w/e and the drum is brilliant AND Scarlett is a bomb :P
Holy cow. This is like a version where the idea was to remove everything cool from the Steel Train track. If thats what they were going for, then they nailed it.
I think with the generation of today, most of us have lost part of our hearing by the time we are in our 20s due to Ipods and such lol...so you have to sing louder than that Scarlet so we can hear you.
