Matthew Andrae- Somewhere Over The Rainbow

[benarobinson]

Great and interesting voice! Also, I'm glad that you sang the words in the original order. I always hear the Israel version, which is great, but he put the words in an illogical order and it seems that everyone plays it that way now.

[Sdeanie1]

[TerrorfestBlaineMN]

Wow excellent!!! Great work

[langeangels]

[gblan]

Delightful! I appreciate the original arrangement yet you were sure to not massacre the words like so many of those "Bruddah" uke players.

[kissing88]

@gblan lol true xD

After listening to this version with the proper lyrics, Somewhere over the rainbow made sense to me (I had listened to Bruddah Iz's too much beforehand) lol

[thatguyweheard]

TheBlackbird is correct, but if you live in the U.S. you have to order it from Europe or Canada as there is no distribution here. wah.. The good news is that they are about $75 (!)

[msnalee]

love this song and you really made it your own

[ebenz47037]

Matthew, I actually watched you as well as listened to you today. You obviously love singing. I hope that you get what you want with this. I enjoy watching and listening to people who love singing more than I do people who do it for just a job.

[thatguyweheard]

Thanks, I do it for both. I love to sing and play and for the past decade, it has paid the bills as well. A fair trade for the work involved I think.

Thanks,

Matthew

[ebenz47037]

Well, from one music lover to another, I will tell you that my prayers are with you. I really hope that this pays off well for you.

[0BlackLeaf0]

Amazing rendition. Honestly.

If you ever come to Central Coastal California while touring, send me a PM. I know a place where you can play at in Salinas. I'd love to even join you on stage for a song or two if possible. You're a great musician.

-Ryan

[ivanslavov]

I live Somewhere over the rainbow in New Zealand, thanx for the song...

[ivanslavov]

I like it man...

[Hobero]

You have a great voice but in my opinion you wail a bit too much. Especially on a song like this where the melody is so strong as it is, to me it's a bit overkill with the wailing. Some is good, but not too much. Also keep "Where" and "Over" appart so it doesn't sound like you're saying "Rover". Still Great job!
