This is very pretty sounding... Adam has a great voice, but why is that that, to me, when singers try to recreate classics it always sounds a little too jingly? This cover feels too much like Christmas morning. I think singers today, doing this, they try way too hard. (Not blaming them for it. They are stepping into tremendously big shoes.) It's just that when Sinatra sang it, he was just so damn cool about it, and it worked.
i wish there was more music like this, i know its old but its really good, another thing i wish they would cover more music like this :D it would make me soo happy. music now to me is dying. its not good any more. only a few ppl can sing now a days like maroon 5 and others. sadly we lost amy winehouse and she was good. i really only like a few songs now a day
@G0tM1Ik Neither did the wonderful Billie...that high honour goes to Mr Fred Astaire, the man who introduced more 'new' standards to the American Songbook than any other singer. This song was written by Jerome Kern for the Astaire/Rogers film Swing Time in 1936, and the guy absolutely nailed it...as always. In fact in the 20's and 30's for both stage and screen Berlin, Gershwin, Porter and the like, all wrote songs purely so Fred can sing them. He was known as the songwriters singer!
@theplatinumrockstar1 Yup. It's in my M5-related mix due of James playing in it ;) As I wrote in the explanation... anything ANY member of M5 get involved into, I buy it. And so far they NEVER disappointed me (well, maybe the Rihanna thing... a bit... but she's so beautiful I closed one eye, and both ears there ;)) ;)
@ZairaAmaterasu I recently found out that John Mayer recruited James Valentine to play on some tracks on "Continuum", and I was like, "Wow!" Do you like the CD?
Wonderful version of the Jerome Kern classic. At least I think Jerome Kern wrote it. In any case, this has always been one of my favorite romantic ballads. THANKS for sharing this delightful gem with us! May ALL your wishes & dreams come true in the New Year! :)
Guess this has to be a compliment, so I am happy to read it and I thank you for takin time to come, listen and evaluate without prejudice ;) Take care and thanx again :)
You mean the jazz jam? It's a piece of music called "Blue Wednesday" I have it out from sheet music for piano, and I put it in to avoid copyright leaking. Not much more than this is what I can tell you, sorry.
Glad you like my video and their music :) :) :) The intro and outro is a jazzy jam called "Blue Wednesday" :) I always add music so I avoid to break copyright nastily. I would never dare to damage my adored babies :)
adam's voice is so pure and unique.....i find myself addicted to whatever song he sings. he's grown on me over the years haha. we <3 you adam!!.....happy birthday james :)
Thank you for your kind words. The intro and outro are a Jazz piece that I particularly love :) I always credit the title at the end, and that's "Blue Wednesday" :) Maroon5 actually made me love jazz even more :)
I don't know what to tell more: All I have is this partiture that I love to play. The jamming note says Legacy Records, Irving Townsend. But I think it's the note about production. Can't tell u more. I just love it and you seem to agree. If I find out more, I'll tell you okay?
I don't know that I agree with everything Adam Levine said. I don't think he just "stuck with the plan" at all. I mean, look at Fred Astaire's version of The Way You Look Tonight and Frank's version. They're polar opposites! I think he did change up the melodies quite a lot, actually. And he might have been somewhat understated in his singing, but it could also be sort of big and dramatic and emotional (April in Paris off the Come Fly With Me album?!). That's what Sinatra was good at, emotion.
I think Adam were more meant to say that, compared to Frank's flamboyant and excessive lifestyle, his way to sing was surprisingly alienated from orpels and not necessary flauntings or display of vocal unrequested essay of technique (which he could easily put in). All that actually empowers, as you say, the emotional and emotioning, deep deliver of a song. If you think at Frank's life antics, that opinion of Adam actually makes full sense. ;)
This is soooo good I didn't think it was M5 at first, it doesn't even sound like Adam, but then once you really listen it does. He sounds awesome and the music is great. Main reason I'm a fan.
Excellent really Zaira. And yes, the song is so adorable and TOTALLY fits M5 range of class. I am planning as well a trip round Geneva Lake, but I guess later than you and Karim will (I am still writing thesis...) Can't wait for Rain by operation Aloha. You rule, Miss ;)
U Lovely ;) btw, I'm becoming addicted to Adam's tweets. I was hoping he would have NEVER joined twitter solo, cos I knew I would have become this. Today he cracked me reading this: "I don't need drugs. I AM drugs". Priceless.
Lol, I joined twitter specifically to follow Adam...
I'm kinda sad, I was all excited that I had four Maroon 5 CDs and the Kara's CD... I don't feel devoted anymore :P (Sucks being a broke college kid, lol)
Love this cover, and can you imagine if they did a video, how classically sexy it would be? Anywho, thanks for sharing, tis made my evening.
This was your idea for the summer video? It's lovely, Zaira... I am sure if you weren't a very taken and workin person (and a sex addict with Karim, too) and you were able to spend more than half an hour reating this, you would have been able to attempt the stop motion technique ;)
Sono senza parole da quanto è bello, Zaira. Il video, la song (la foto!!!!)... wow! Volevo scriverlo in inglese ma mi è venuto in italiano ;) Baci Baci!!
Another precious little stone that you gifted us with, Miss Z. If I'm gonna meet them around Lake Geneva I will send you all that I get, I promise. I also saw Prince live at Montreux: it has been awesome and there were words we weren't alone witnessing him ;) but I haven't any evidence of that, sorry. This is a fabulous cover, really.
Your devotion is so huge it makes me feel like a bad fan ;) No seriously, this video is awesome Zaira! I will reach Montreux next week (didn't know Coldplay were around?) and I would love to meet with you if you're nearby too.
Thank you for the link at Astaire's version, too! Class double versioned, indeed :)
I can't believe how great this video is, Zaira. You're a multitalented madhead ;) And this song, gosh, it's so perfect. I get shivers and shivers and shivers and...I wanna go on Geneva Lake too ;)
The Queen of Fan Video Making is back! Zaira, really, you rule rule rule. This song gives me such a melody, happy, lovely mood it's unbelievable. And I LOVE the first pic you put up. *wink wink*
Extraordinary idea for the video Miss. Wow, your collection really speaks volumes about you being a fan. And... I am happy you love Chillon Castle: won't you come next weekend? Not only M5 are in there, but Coldplay also have a gig over Geneva Lake ;) Think about it!!!
OMG Miss Z.!!! Just when I think you cannot top yourself again, you actually do!!!! This video is so cool I can't stop watchin it! And I love you've addressed the original song in the Fred Astaire version as well: to follow you is like reading a music encyclopedia, LOL!
