This mix by the amazingly talented @mrmeadmusic is the reason we must protest against this S.O.P.A nonsense. Otherwise in the near future, works of art like this could be taken down due to copyright infringement.
I heard the original John Legend cover, but the first time I heard this I thought it was a new recording he made in his studio! This is really amazing! Congrats!
I like this cover a lot, though I will say I don't necessarily like it better or worse than his original cover. The purely vocal song he did had a very special feel to it, and it's really like listening to two much different songs when it comes to tone and meaning. I kind of wish there was a version about that didn't have the backup singers either, and just had John Legend singing alone, cause I think that'd still be quite awesome.
It's incredible how the message of the song can shift so dramatically with the addition of this backing track. The a Capella is far more forlorn and broken in spirit, like a man struggling to make it through and this one is like a message of making it through, very RnB. Great job, man!
Dude this is brilliant. I love both the Adele and John Legend versions, not to mention the Jamie XX take on the Adele one. This is up there with all 3.
Much love for putting love into your own twist on things... Peace out.
my goodness this cover is absolutely superb, much love to fantastic instrumentals which added another layer of soul to this song, I love the original but this is definitely on the same caliber
@nickelwindow53 They are both good in there own caliber.. Both done by very good vocalists.. This one is great for sure.. I do like it.. It has a good groove to it..
0 Dislikes! keep it that way, you did a excellent job, on adding a different style of beat than the original. and when i first heard his cover, i said "it would sound sick, if it had drums on it". well i found a version, thats perfect!!!!! good job, mayne!.
I've created a new permanent download link in the info section (we maxed out Soundcloud!). The link includes an mp3 of this mix as well as an instrumental mix due to a couple of requests.
Also, I've posted a new track to my channel - an alt-country version of The Killers' "When You Were Young" (super genre change I know!). Check it out if you get a chance.
That's really clever how you made the instrumental mimic the "Wake Up" style. I gotta admit that at first I was skeptical because I liked the original instrumentals, but I just heard another version where John Legend's vocals was mixed with the original, and I definitely think that your backing tracks best fits with his vocals. Great job!
Just to give you an idea of how utterly fantastic this is. I'd never heard the John Legend version and when I heard this I literally thought it was his in studio recorded version. Only when I read the description did I realize the instruments had been added later. Absolutley amazing job!
this is amazing! awesome job. Adele is the best, of course, but to spend the time to make a cover even better than the original cover is pretty incredible.
I wanna use the instrumental! :))
