David Sylvian - Orpheus (Cover)

[yamashitariki]

David Sylvian can now retire. You did a great cover!

[mallaes2006]

great great,,, but makes me realize how special SLVIANS voise is.... thanks..

[mike6459]

@mallaes2006 lol yes you can't realize something so good when you hear something mediocre

[mike6459]

@mallaes2006 I could not agree more

[alecx111]

Excellent!!

[snufkin789]

Love your rendition, especially the sylvian-like tremolo in your voice in the bridge. but i think there is a chord change you may have missed. i think it goes D-b-C and then F - d

but anyway very cool!

[Fours67]

Hats off to you(no pun intended!).Classic song.

[gleNNNetwork]

A really nice job!

[garty22]

It's good but no one seems to get the chords right in this song. For starters, try an E added 9th instead of plain E at the very beginning. It's a finger-stretcher but it sounds so much better. You can hear the 9th in the piano when listening to the song.

[mike6459]

I'll work on my pinky extensions,...thx for the feedback

[disastar829]

Great!

I feel how you love the David's songs.

[verminosity]

Excellent. Very nice. Are you using standard EADGBE tuning?

[mike6459]

yes

[RosewdMartyr7]

Excellent in deed!

[Dakedoom]

holy crap, you voice is almost identical to David's

[mike6459]

I wish...but thanks anyway

[elwimpo1974]

very well don!!

[gruggi02]

Excellent! Bravo! Just add Sakamoto's keyboards and you're done!!!

[Talsams]

david nomber 2? or what??!

(:

[JoyOfSab]

Bella voce complimenti

[Umanh]

Brilliant. One question, though: is the chord at 0:55 right? (it's when you sing the words "you struggle with words", i think). Are you sure?

[mike6459]

I'm pretty sure it's a C but I could be wrong

[JIM2u007]

You have a real nice feel for this song and evoke it well. Excellent vocal and acoustic touch. Thank you.

[nmacog]

hey you just had to hear you sing this again tonight - you have a greta voice and are wonderful guitar player !

[mike6459]

ok thx

[nmacog]

Excellent cover - and you have a GREAT voice - a big thumbs up from here - well done !!!

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

Nice job, I'm a huge fan of this song.

[theholygoes]

Just stumbled across this. Excellent work I'm very impressed.

[YourMumRocks]

that was really something mate!

great work! it's hard to cover Sylvian because so much of his music is dependant of that amazing voice but you really nailed it!

cheers!

[frankvsmaximvs]

Love it! Try dropping the 1st finger on the C chord, i.e. open B string tho. He played alot with augmenteds and diminished chords back in that time.

[RalfoGiganto]

Hello Mike - great Play.

It´s 20 Years ago, I felt suicide with David Sylvian. Thanx for the Chords - so I can play it on my Guitar to process the past.

Greetings from Cologne - Germany

[fdsaw]

bravo and a little funny man!

[oohmesides]

Brilliant. I wasn't sure then when you started singing - not in studio - i loved it. Then again, i am a bit drunk x

[taoistcowboy123]

Ah, let me pour you a drink...

[yorkshireluvr]

Very good imitation of David Sylvian's voice. I always wanted the sheet music to his song that goes "Running, like a horse between the trees . . ." If you have figured out those chords I would like them but it is a piano song.

[tumubu]

qualche accordo nn mi convince,cmq la voce e' simigliante

[mike6459]

simigliante in english...anyone?

[tumubu]

no...simile

[nalanostrebor]

Excellent. An amazing effort.

Take your talent further, dude.  Will keep a lookout for you.

[taoistmovies]

BRAVO!

[mahadev1008]

bravo... smplice, senza strafare... accordi aperti...

[lisagalvani]

assolutamente bravo!!!

[RosewdMartyr7]

Wonderful performance! Can I have the chords?

Bravo!

Alex

[DavidEmanuelSilva]

Great performance! Not easy to cover Sylvian, but you did it great! just a lack of chords in the end of verses.

I would like to see you trying other sylvian songs, like Ride, Blackwater, Wanderlust.

Do you have the chords for wanderlust? I´m triyng to catch them, but it hasn´t been so easy. I would be very thankful.

[panagisart]

cool!

[gone4aturd]

dont forget to breathe, soon to be seen on pop idol!!

you wont get better than the real thing d.s,lets hope you dont give up the day job, perhaps you can do world citizen next

[RobinErrece]

nice cover! u asked me for the chords of my cover of ghosts by japan! il give em 2 u soon, if i give u the chords it wold be so cool if u did that song

[sylvianblue]

Wasn't expecting that voice! Not bad at all mate!

[JMLAUS]

Millions of Peaches, Peaches for free!

[mike6459]

sounds like a request for The Presidents of the United States cover tune

[johnstonutd]

that was much better than i expected! well done

[vania09]

dear mike...you forget many chords :)

[mike6459]

I ha visto le altre versioni di corda di questa canzone. ..I ha deciso di tenerlo semplice

[lewid003]

Nice one you could do Ghosts justice give it a whirl mate!

[mike6459]

Working on Nightporter...should be up soon

[steezasaurusxx]

I think your version is very good. Especially the part where you said. "....tired of laughing" It made me laugh.

[markbrum]

I would agree with other comments on here. You did the song some real justice. I enjoyed listening to you too. You must be a real sylvian fan. Thanks for posting mate!

[lordcroft1]

Awsome....well done sir

[mike6459]

[ModestoMuniz]

[xxxCheeryCherryxxx]

Wow, not bad, Mike. I have never heard anyone sing any of David Sylvian's songs - besides myself, in a car, alone :P. I really enjoyed listening to you :).
