Sidsel Endresen - Shadows in the rain

[LuMaltaL]

I woke up in my clothes again this morning

I dont know exactly where i am

I should heed my doctors warning

He does the best with me he can

He says I suffer from delusion

but I’m so confident I’m sane

this can be no optical illusion

so how do you explain

shadows in the rain... ♫

cool

[baraffo]

Stunning.

[Chrotisofus]

Meh.

[Orchydee64]

wonderful !

[xensboy]

An affecting cover, it brings to mind a risking James Blunt jamming with Jan Garbarek. I like the drama here.

[LudoWander]

braviiiiiiii !!! complimenti from Sicily

[Easleytee]

How glorious a feeling it must be to have no vocal talent and a recording contract.

[Chrotisofus]

[Easleytee]

[kupac10]

simple, clean, honest...no overproducing no autotuning no bs..this IS music and what a music it is. thanks for posting

[bluetsunami]

Love the single horn (?). This cover is just oh so stark. I absolutely adore it.

[elmerexpress]

Me, too, bluetsunami! - sounds like garbarek.

[nigele99]

This is another example of the haunting quality that this singer can bring to a song. I like the very spare instrumentation as the focus is on the voice. Also proves that Sting can produce wonderful, understated songs.

[Kikaki79]

Simply wonderful :)

[Shynebiz]

Yeah, it was originally written and performed by The Police off the album Zenyetta Mondatta. When the nuclear bombs were unleashed on Japan eye witnesses said that the shapes of peoples bodies were imprinted onto the walls and floors of the city due to the heat of the blast, which appeared to resemble Shadows in the Rain.

I like the cover of this song but as a bass player I think it lacks that haunting bass line from the original which gives the song its edge.

[fippppo]

that is fucked up, man

wu tang clan is nuttin to fuck with

[ChrHRO]

[magaut]

could anybody tell something more about this song? is this from her upcoming solo album or upcoming album with bugge wesseltoft? btw sidsel is my fav singer not from today. ;)

[kolakoenig]

@magaut

This song was on the album "Shadows in the rain" of german jazz musicians christof lauer (sax) and jens thomas (piano) who made a whole cd with police covers in the year 2001.

[kaarekjohnsen]

@kolakoenig A CD with Sting covers, is more correct.
