Red Hill Mining Town (U2) -cover by Caroline Feather

[lalopacoloco]

Thank you

[sjpw62]

you are certainly not shrieking. You have a wonderful voice. This is my fave U2 song and you did your own rendition and it's perfect. thank you for sharing it with all of us. Cheers.

[javornelas]

Wow....I love it!

[hartnell]

Wow this is a brilliant cover, love your voice !

[bono2335]

great voice, love the way u sing it with a smile on your face.

if you make a cd of the u2 songs i would but it. :)

[feathersgirl]

@bono2335 Thank you so much!

[ssdivizion]

You have great heart and talent,I can feel that here from my Macedonia,as to this beautiful tune,I've always thought Bono for more than a singer, man is a brilliant poet!

[feathersgirl]

@ssdivizion Bono has the most amazing voice....especially when he's really belting out something passionate.. (I have my favourites!)

To hear & see U2 live is mindblowing.....

[feathersgirl]

@ssdivizion Thank you, that's very kind of you

[8112696070]

SOUNDS grrrrreat

[feathersgirl]

@8112696070 Thank you so much!

[blucinemafilms]

You should be on Tour. ...

[feathersgirl]

@blucinemafilms Thank you! If only... :-)

[2002Lund]

Great Song !!!! I can't figure out your strum pattern you use on this song.

[feathersgirl]

@2002Lund Thank you loads!

I don't know what a strum pattern is really, I just play how I want it to sound if that makes sense :-)

[jcharles65]

Love this...sounds like you're using a capo--which fret, my I ask? And what is your strum pattern? (hard for me to figure those out). Thanks!

[feathersgirl]

@jcharles65 Thank you so much!

I can't remember what fret I was using as I did it so long ago.....I'll get out my guitar and play along to it and then I'll be able to tell you what fret I used :-)

I have no idea what a strum pattern is, I just play how I think it should be played :-)

[GladiusP]

Awsome! I love this version - folky style :)

[feathersgirl]

@GladiusP Thank you :-)

[Sauropodo1]

[feathersgirl]

[feathersgirl]

@MrChumusic Thank you so much :-)

[somaditya75]

came back to listen again today :) beautiful.

[feathersgirl]

@somaditya75 Thank you loads, I appreciate that so much :-)

[Raffiyork]

Oh, thank you! - Your voice gives this song a very special note! I'm one of the 50 cheering-ones, for sure! :-)

[feathersgirl]

@Raffiyork I like that very much! Thank you so much :-)

[colpam76]

Very nice !! :)

[feathersgirl]

@colpam76 Thank you :-)

[Rainwarning]

Stunning. I can easily see you sitting in a park at dusk, singing this song to the setting song and the 50 cheering people surrounding you.

[feathersgirl]

@Rainwarning Gosh thank you, that's probably one of the nicest things anyone has said to me! Thank you loads :-)

[dispuritanism]

You have a very beautiful voice and this appears to be no easy song to hit some of those high pitch notes. This has and continues to be one of my favorite U2 songs. It sheds light on a life that goes unsung and has me thinking about the recent coal mining tragedy in West Virginia. Bands like U2 and Live are unique on how they separate themselves from everyone else.

[feathersgirl]

@dispuritanism What a lovely comment, thank you so much! It really is a beautiful song and so underrated, I love it :-)

[ocmk100]

This is excellent. Fantastic cover of a great, great, under known and appreciated U2 song.

[feathersgirl]

@ocmk100 Thank you, it is such a beautiful song isn't it...

[ronudias]

Very good...

Joshua Tree is amazing...

Rodrigo

[feathersgirl]

Thank you and yeah The Joshua Tree totally rocks

[feathersgirl]

@ronudias Thank you so much :-)

[evertonio]

Singing is great. The guitar is a bit quick though,and you've added loads of notes to fill it in.

I think that was what was special about this song. There wasn't much to it, but what was there, was magical.

Great effort all the same.

[feathersgirl]

Oh that's lovely of you to say, what great feedback, I appreciate it very much, thank you :-)

[somaditya75]

I had watched this long time back....and always remembered it...and today came back to hear you sing this...:)

this is a very underrated song by U2....i have always loved it....long ago i listened to this on a rainy morning....and been in love with Red Hill mining Town ever since.

[feathersgirl]

Hello my friend and thank you for such a lovely comment.

You are right, Red Hill Mining Town is SO underrated and I'm not sure why as it is just a magnificent song.

I don't actually like this cover version of mine as I don't think I did it very well and think I could do it better now so I might just re-record it soon. But I'm so glad you like it and I thank you for taking the time to write a comment on here for me.

Best wishes and happy new year :-)

[DayTripperLennon]

a girl that plays u2 on guitar...niiiice!

[feathersgirl]

Aw thanks mister DayTripperLennon!! I like that!

:-)

[LincolnandHolt]

Wonderful.  Yours is better than the real U2 staged music video.

[feathersgirl]

I wish it was but thank you for being so kind :-)

[LincolnandHolt]

They're posing a little too much. Check it out for yourself. This is my favorite song of theirs.  The whole Joshua Tree album is incredible. Definitely one of my all-time favorite albums in all categories.

Lincoln

[feathersgirl]

I totally agree! What a masterpiece!

[garyvella1]

Super Lady!

[feathersgirl]

Aw that's nice, thank you

[edgylemon]

Excellent job!!

[feathersgirl]

Thank you :-)

[aoakagb]

Amazing! Great song, great voice!

[feathersgirl]

Thank you loads

[englishnoodles]

You have managed to make a classic track sound like a nursery rhyme.

[feathersgirl]

Im not trying to make money out of it don't forget! I only did it 'cos I like the song so don't be so cruel. Its only for my enjoyment

[brisca25]

[Intolight4]

[Rendszergazdajelszo]

very good

[feathersgirl]

Thank you!

[gazpachemode]

very good voice and good guitar too, i liked it so much!

[feathersgirl]

Thanks loads :-)

[u2mixer]

Thanks. I enjoyed that. Maybe slow it down a little as it will give your version more emotion and your voice won't be as swamped by the guitar.

[feathersgirl]

Good advice and I totally agree u2mixer, thank you loads :-)

[oracledeveloper]

Sounds good. I was trying to play along on my stratocaster but it seems your playing a step below the recording. all the same I like your voice.

[feathersgirl]

Thank you oracledeveloper :-)

[mightyolav]

beauty! one of my favorite u2 songs too, and you did it justice.

[kikiscout]

great job

[feathersgirl]

Thank you so much!

[darkknights2]

Awesome!

[feathersgirl]

Thank you! :-)

[bigballsbernardo]

Feathers I am working on this song as well. I listened to your version of in god's country, which is also great! And well I don't know at what point of the song, but I started to cry out of bliss and it was the crazies feeling. I thank you for that good bitter sweet feeling you gave me. God Bless you.

[feathersgirl]

Wow! And thank you so so much for this comment!

(I'm not sure what I should call you -bigballs or bernado or the whole thing? :-D)

I can't believe it made you cry, wow what a fantastic compliment that is to receive, for someone to be moved enough to cry is the greatest praise ever.

Wow again :-D

Thanks loads!

[genehuntpt2]

good song to cover and well done

[feathersgirl]

Thank you so much genehuntpt2, I appreciate that very much

:-)

[billj880]

Wow, that was smoothe and well done. It's the first time I have heard this song and I like it.

[feathersgirl]

Hi billj880 and thanks for the comment! I'm so glad you like my strained version of this beautiful song :-)

But if you liked the song after hearing my version you ought to listen to the song done properly with Bono belting it out, oh wow!

Let me know what you think!

:-)

[spectrum505]

fucking excellent

[feathersgirl]

Spectrum505, I like the passion in your comment! Thank you loads :-)

[cdbaer]

Good Cover!!!

[feathersgirl]

Thank you cdbaer :-)

[t2much]

That was really good. Congrats!

[feathersgirl]

Aw thanks t2much, much appreciated :-)

[youzarate]

wow! excellent cover

My favorite u2 song

yeah girl

[feathersgirl]

Youzarate, I loved this comment, thanks tons :-)

[1966man]

Excellent version girl, my favourite U2 song! And you did it justice!!keep going...

[feathersgirl]

Hello 1966man, thank you loads for your comment, it means a lot 'cos this song is one of my much-loved all time favourites and no cover version can touch Bono when he belts it out..!! *sigh (in love)*

[xcualquiera]

I don´t like it. Seems like a guitarr-voice lesson. Done well, but sung like that, the song looks like any other song. Also, too fast.

[feathersgirl]

Yeah, I do tend to race on a bit with all songs I do.

Not sure what you mean by the guitar-voice lesson but I'm always keen to try to improve my voice so please feel free to add more.

Cheers for the comment

[kingofyuba]

Awesome job. Loved it. I wish I could strum and play acoustically like that, it takes a certain touch. Do you do any other U2 covers?

[feathersgirl]

Hiya kingofyuba, thank you loads and loads, your comment is much appreciated. I do loads of U2 covers and every single one of them is riddled with huge whopping mistakes but what the heck, you can tell they are mine then!!

[FamousDave2186]

wow! your voice is great. One of my favorite U2 songs and you sang it great.

[feathersgirl]

Hello oh famous one!

Thank you so much for your comment, SO glad you liked it :-)

[camboy38]

i wanna be your husband!!!!!!!!!!

hard banging sounds errrrrrrrrrr great lol

happy christmas :)

[feathersgirl]

Hur hur!

Oh aren't I naughty

:-o

[camboy38]

i wanna be your neighbor

they get it all for free through the walls!!!!!! 5*****

[feathersgirl]

I know, aren't they lucky.....when I'm not crooning and bashing the guitar strings like my life depended on it I'm on my decks -so instead of the sounds of me screeching and continuous hard twanging coming through the walls they get to hear me whooping and er, yes, non-stop hard banging

Blimey )) ))whooosh )>>>---I'll be off now!!--->>

[sukinabumbum]

Outstanding x x

[skittles9000]

AMAZING<3 =]

Thank you loads :-)

[shopgirl157]

[feathersgirl]

Hello shopgirl157, thank you so much for your comment :-)

[joeypinhead]

fantastic!!

[feathersgirl]

Thankyou!! :-)

[amanda1971yeo]

This is my all time favorite song. However I am finding it really difficult to sing and play on my quitar. You have done a fantastic job. It's a lot harder than it looks! 5/5

[feathersgirl]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You're so right, it IS harder than it looks isn't it but such a gorgeous song (when sung properly er, by Bono not me!)

[rattleU2]

Is a great great version, 10+++

Thanks for make this :D

I love thist u2s song, and your version is fucking good!

[feathersgirl]

Love this comment, thank you so much :-)

[MiloKamilo24]

Interesting and creative.

[deadmead13]

This is great musical expression of Red Hill Mining Town, I really love it :)

It makes me happy :)

Thank You

[LisaMajor827]

Very nice voice -- she reminds me a little of Delores O'Riordan of the cranberries.

[canubelieve]

woohoo Im glad i found you here girl thats sweet!!!

[feathersgirl]

Thank you! Glad you found me :-)

[feathersgirl]

Aaah you are so kind...thank you loads :-)

[teletextpear]

I enjoyed that. That was good. Much love sweetheart. x

[feathersgirl]

Aw what a lovely message, thank you very much :-)

[dArLeNewk]

Lady you need to sing in public your voice is to good to be on You tube!!

[feathersgirl]

Oh that would be nice! Thank you so much for such a kind compliment. Do you think an audience would mind the amount of times I mess up and burst out laughing though? :-)

[dArLeNewk]

LOL,LOL, don't think any one knows but you!

[feathersgirl]

I don't mind anyone noticing me laughing but some of the mistakes I do are pearlers!!

Which is why I laugh in just about every video, there's an abundance of boobs in each.

Er, bloopers. Whatever they're called.

There's a pattern: I strum a chord right, I strum a made-up chord to balance it out. It sounds like a baby teething. I sing a line of the song ok. I sing a line of nonsense speak cos I lost my place again. (And so it goes on) :-)

[santicristianosilva]

lindo

[feathersgirl]

Obrigado!

[mcbabz]

seriously, pure class

well done....it's a very underappreciated song, that tends to get overlooked on one of the best albums (i'm split tween Achtung & Joshua personally) ever created

[feathersgirl]

Thank you so so much :-)

[maddaussie]

Wow Great Interpretation of a classic!

Well Done!

[dspontes]

I am Brazilian. Espero que voce traduza o que vou lhe dizer. Compartlhei o seu video, pena não poder ver ao vivo. Voce transmite força e a sua voz rouca engrandece e responde à altura do U2!! Suas virtudes merece atenção. Felicidades!

[HH19881988]

Top notch Caroline, great version of a great song.

You really appeared to be enjoying yourself on the clip and deservedly so!

[feathersgirl]

Hi and thanks loads!

I always have fun doing these vids 'cos I have a tendency to chuck in at least one or ten whopping great mistakes in each & for some reason it amuses me!

Aye, I know, strange :-)

PS. Is it Jeff? Im trying to think who I know who has dalmation dogs....... hit a blank though :-(

[Idig4ad]

That song bring's back alot of memories.Thank you for doing it.=)

[feathersgirl]

Oh I'm glad to hear it brings back memories.....thank you so much for commenting :-)

[BHNYC1]

A great version of this remarkable song. It is my all time favorite U2 tune. Are you in the states? I would love for you to play it at my club in NYC. My friends would love it. Now if you can can do Haunted by Shane MacGowan, I have a male vocalist for you to team with. Keep 'em coming!

[feathersgirl]

Oh thank you for such a fantastic offer and compliment!

Unfortunately I don't live in the U.S. I am in England....shame...I would have loved to have played at your club...

DAMN! Can't believe I'm missing an opportunity to play in NYC!!!

Thanks loads :-)

[utrecht26]

Hi greetings from the netkerlands.. please continue this! its realy very nice to hear this
