Elbow - Fugitive Motel - Cover

[stevenmcgarty]

Reeeaally good mate, you nailed it..

[Andrewz05]

Very very nicely done sir!

[kingscoop]

You cover my fave David Sylvian track and then you go and cover my fave Elbow track!!! Suits your voice very well. Don't ever stop. Top stuff once more. Look forward to more, Tim

[sonicanansi]

Thanks again. It's a while since I uploaded anything (what with 3 kids and a full time job), but hopefully soon :-)

[92RedRevolver]

It's hard to listen to great songs that are ruined by people who could possibly use their time more constructively than upload crappy covers.

Thank God you're not one of those people, eh?! :P Well done.

[sonicanansi]

He he! You had me worried for a moment. Thanks, I really love playing this song, I hope that comes across in the video.

[Scarlettfever1991]

Oh wow, you are simply amazing. Great voice, great guitarist, great cover. Thanks mate.

[sonicanansi]

Your welcome! :-) I'm off to see them at Wembley Arena on March 14th, can't wait, though I wish it was a smaller venue. I hope their recent poularity does not mean they are forced into ever bigger stadium gigs. I like smaller more intimate gigs!

[Scarlettfever1991]

Oh me too, I really hope they play smaller gigs in the future. I'm seeing them 2nd March (one week from now omg!), it's my first time seeing them (about bloody time since discovering them early last year) and I'm very excited (best late Christmas pressie ever.) Anywho enjoy Wembley :)

this is real good mate really enjoyed it.

[sonicanansi]

Thanks, much appreciated.

[TheGreenBuddha]

That was just beautiful.

Of course, it helps that the song itself is flawlessly gorgeous. Still, very very well done.

[sonicanansi]

Thanks very much, you're right of course, it always helps to pick outstanding songs in the first place. Though what one person thinks is sublime another will think is ridiculous! :-)

[andymoon1975]

can't find any good tabs....any chance..

[sonicanansi]

I worked this out by ear, so the tab is all in my head and I'm pretty useless at sticking it down on paper but if you can give me a little time I'll see what I can do. The crux of it though is simply E and Am with a litle m7 m6 m run down on the 1st string for the intro and chorus and then Cmaj7 and E7sus4 for the verses running to E7 just before the chorus. The only really interesting bit is the riff under the chord for the intro and I don't have space to explain that here!

[andymoon1975]

perfect....

[sonicanansi]

thanks! :-)

[freakmx0]

great great voice!! amazing cover!!! congratulations, from México.

[sonicanansi]

Wow thanks very much. I just wish I could write a song like this, not just cover it! :-(

[freakmx0]

Why?! you can write a better song, just do it, it's just a matter of express yourself. Damn... anything is possible, and i'm not a fucking optimist haha, you have talent ;)

[sonicanansi]

Thanks, I love your positivity! I once had the belief and confidence, in my 20's! You can see me on youtube playing and singing in a number of bands in the 1980's, most importantly for me a band called Pig out, you can see us rehearsing if you go to my channel and look at my favourites, I wrote the songs and sang them. As you get older it is harder to find the time or energy to create, especially when you have children (I have 3!).

[Bamshu]

Wow, amazing voice. Wasn't expecting that.

[sonicanansi]

Thanks!....though it begs the question what were you expecting?... ;-) Thanks again positive feedback always appreciated.

[embrassemoi04]

wonderful...you have a beautiful voice...I think if it's not my favourite elbow song, it's one of their best...

[sonicanansi]

Thank you, it is certainly one of my favourites to play. I like so many of their songs though and from all of their albums. They have just won the prestigeous Mercury Music Prize here in the UK, for their latest album, The Seldom Seen Kid and I for one say it was well deserved.

[markodarko101]

great job!

[sonicanansi]

Cheers :-)
