"ALL I CAN DO"--CARS CLASSIC!!!--Matthew Shelly!!!

[MrYeahnahmate]

Good work young man! An old favourite, nicely "renditioned" :-)

[ywillburn]

thank you Matthew!!!!! You have a wonderful voice and i prefer you with your trained voice and artistic manner versus these drug infested souless" musicians" who just encourage immoral behavior!!! GOD BLESS!!!!!

[SonofBrunhilde]

You have GOT to be kidding me. Ben Orr must be rolling over in his grave from this rendition.

[Retroman27]

This is one of the better covers out there in youtube land, well done!

[toddscotland]

Damn Fine Job Mr. Kelly....awesome cover! You captured the spirit of it. Ben and Ric would love it! Cheers. Todd Scotland.

[deedee7763]

Sounds great!  Nice job. ;)

[my05hammer]

This is actually a pretty damn good cover. I'd say you nailed it man.

[xraeddie]

it's all i can do

to keep listening to you

it's all i can do

cause you sing it so true

don't know who you are(maybe I should) but this is beyond good!

[beerbrain420]

A fitting tribute to the late, great Benjamin Orr, who I'm sure would like your version very much.

[ohjtbehaaave]

Thumbs up

[lanimal2000]

absolutely awesome !!

[heehawkdown]

This is very nice. 

[cattnipp]

It's just a karioke - I thought that you were going to actually play it.

[rvollin1935]

@cattnipp Thanks. That's actually the best compliment I could ask for. You don't know.

[jqwonders]

@rvollin1935 When you do a song like this, the last thing you want to do is make drastic changes...job well done. BTW arguably the best song The Cars ever did IMHO.



[JewelsFromVenus]

sounded wonderful Matthew.. got chills knowing Ben was right there beside you on this one

[rickietube1]

This is great. Was Class of 80 grad in high school. Used to jam on the cars in my 1970 Buick Wildcat. Thank you for sharing, you did a great job with the song.

[stutzman2]

Good job!

[LesSmith45]

What a great cover dude. Has this echo thing going just something the cars would have done. Nice cover

[tudssquadbuisness]

Awesome job on remaking the song. The Cars would be proud :)

[MajorHawke]

beautiful, i think ben would be proud too dallasadanny, great version

[LLorenz100]

This, sir, is inspiring. Great job!

[soundwavs1961c]

Sounds way too perfect. Were you singing over the music?????

[JAB5625]

Nice work... The singer's voice definitely resembles the late great Ben...

[shelly10538]

Cool man.

[11Jamie11]

Wow, very nice!  Their synth sounded better than yours, but otherwise, this is darn impressive.

[MrBassthunder]

great great job/ i agree they should have you doin the ben parts/ much better then rungren!

[Rick31797]

A great cars song.... nice job.. Ben has a big smile :-)

[numanoid17]

WOW:)) I was expecting to hear some really bad cover version of this song.. But much to my surprise.. this is very decent:)))) Thanks for posting.. I agree...... Benjamin Orr would have been proud:))

[Pacisdiligo]

A very nice, faithful version of one of my all-time favorite Cars tunes. Maybe you should have handled Ben's lead vocals on the "New Cars" reunion!

[carbon4me]

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

[Brad3514]

excellect range/ vocals

[Gravelandart]

Great job man! Make some more videos!

[shelbyfin]

Great job man! I'm glad I watched the video!

[codyromo]

I agree...fantastic cover!!!

[DallasaDanny]

Been a fan of the cars since High School. Graduate of the class of 80' and I absolutely love this cover. I think Ben would have been proud.

[rvollin1935]

Thank you very much!

[S2KZ33]

hell yea !!!!!

[mbdowney1]

great job on this cover.

[JoeChrisMorris]

Quite like this actually

[nmm2122]

Cool- Good job.

[sonicsam1st]

good job bro...

[DavePerry2012]

Great cover!

[so2in10s4u]

Nice solo--restrained and refined, yet still playful and sweet--much like the one by Elliot Easton (who is shamefully underrated, IMHO).

Great hand shots--I'm gonna cop it!

[mrpentium]

Very nice. The only cover I ever heard that I really like, and the only rendition of the song The Cars ever did is on the darn album !

[dennis2931]

Good Job....but this is like is like office space meets the cars.....one of the most ausome songs ever but lose that outfit or stay in the cubicle. The cars always had an edge on a the disfuction of realationships and nobody summed it up better. Pure poetry at its finest.

[brknbar]

thanx for posting rvollin1935; what a great cover !! He put lots of heart into it......... just like the original...... Ben Orr would be proud !! thanx again

[clinehar]

i cant find this video anywhere.  at least the cars version. anyone know where i can get this vid??

[mrpentium]

I've have been search as well...dont think they ever performed it, but on the album...shame...its my fav Cars song

[charlie39va]

Love the beat!!!!

[suzmicmay]

Another remake worth the effort, awesome voice, I'm impressed :))

...oh but dammit, I see you are married, ah well (hehe)...still impressed.

[gmj04]

Good job. I love that song and the Cars!

[kashuga]

How is my old friend Jill in this?

[chudnovsky]

excellent job  man.. it looks so professionally done!!

[whistleblower27]

Interesting video. Nice job on the guitar solo. What key is this in? It sounds higher than the original.

[rvollin1935]

Its exactly the same key...G.

Thanks for the comments!!!

[whistleblower27]

OK, thanks. I've been thinking about laying tracks for this song and in the first part of the video, I was trying to see your keyboard fingering. Again, nice job on the solo, as you captured the feel of Easton's playing very well. IMHO, one of the more under-rated guitar players out there.

[rvollin1935]

By the way, don't try and figure out the keys by my playing in the video. You'll go insane. Keys are my weakness so often I will break a part up into 2 or more sections and multi-track the part for the recording. By the time I did the video, I forgot the parts anyway so I just mimic playing it. Sorry, dude.

[whistleblower27]

Ah, that makes sense. I was wondering what I was looking at. Thanks for the response. I think I've got most of it down. Now, I'm just finding all of the different sounds for each part. I'm a drummer, keyboardist and singer by trade, but play bass as well. My weakness will come when I need the solo, but I'm going to have a friend of mine lay that track. I can do the rythym part and the crunch guitar, but soloing is definitely my weakness on the guitar. Thaks again.

[lpseymour]

Great job!!!!!!!!!!

'nuff said...

[dalmatian847]

Superb!!! Nicely done!

[lemonkooler]

really REALLY good! I love this Cars song and this cover was so well done, high quality and superb vocals.

[Anthem1976]

I actually like your cover better than the original!

[chyna4233]

LOve Ben orr, great job!!

[da0629]

Dude, your video production is getting so good. Love the black and white on the bass drum beater. You're making actual music videos like MTV used to do. This is very cool bro.

[frankzito1]

Ben Orr Is the man, And your video and performance rank right up there. Your awesome!
