@jgelhaar I'm 100 per cent sure! Without this vid, we would never have known each other Jimmy. Very glad Dave and I made this vid... in like 2 hours.. :)
Hey man, excellent vocals, you sing this song just how it should be sung. I'm a musician too man, I know its not easy singing this song perfect, but you make it seem so easy. You got a great gift man, the world needs more musicians like you
That was really good.....and now that I see in the other comment that you have a cover of mad world, I'm definitely going to go listen!! Awesome voice!! :)
Let's all work to understanding these lyrics and working to make this world (here and now) a better one... It's all in our power.... Let's not let the chance slip away before we're gone. After we're gone, it's too late...
fantastic, i love it, your version is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard, you two did a great job! and dave i love your voice! i sent it to a teacher of mine who loves music and he loves it too!
I just saw Bastiaan77 page and there are a lot of toher instrumental versions that would be perfect for other collaborations!(see "your song", "hotel california")
Wow... I absolutely love your rendition of this great song. Not many people could pull it off but you guys did! Amazing Job! Gave me the goosebumps/dreamy feeling Thanks! Keep it up!
What's wrong with Dutch guys? ;) hehe.. But jep, he made it with me! Glad you liked it! :D We'll make more in the future for sure, and if you like, watch some vids of mine (however, I don't have such a voice as David..) so I let my guitar sing the vocals! ;)
Great cover man. John's birthday was on October 9th if you can believe that. He would of turned 67. I made two videos the week of his birthday they are on my account if you want to take a look. I worked hard on them and so I thought you would appreciate them.
Agreed, though Idol seems to want people with subpar voices that get a little better during the show. Generally the people with really good "rock" voices are looked down upon on there. They want country/R&B
I think it's perfect. Lovely in every way. In fact, I think the choppiness of the video lends perfectly to the song. It's supposed to have this kinda ethereal mood to it. To be quite honest, I thought it was deliberate. It gave it a throwback almost picture flick quality. I thought it was absolutely perfect. Don't change a thing!
Thnx Tonya! :) You sure had your part in our collaboration! Your the founder of the 'band'! :P Glad to hear you like it that much! :D It was very special to make a song in just a couple of hours with someone on the other side of the world! And if it's up to me, we'll make some more in the future! :)
I've been following you for a long time, and I must say you are one of my favorite cover artists on youtube. This cover is truely amazing, glad to see you are putting emphasise on your voice rather then your guitar skill(which are really good as well). You truely need to find a way to get out there, you deserve the recognition.
sounds really good and i like the color effect :0)
