if u cover pearl jams black ill leave her. not because of that i just needa reason. i hesitate to tell you im a music producer because all the guys on here probably use that line. i dont know where your from but im from nyc if you need a track let me know what genre your interested in and how fast or slow the melody. maybe we can collaborate. i dont work for free though. besidesthepoint5@aol.com
I fight and wrestle all over the US but try to stck to the east coast where I live. I'm totally serious though, you're an amazing musician and would be honored to come out to your music. Inbox me and we can move forward with this
@shibamonkey thank you so much!!! glad you liked it!! I have a second version of this, I posted as a video response here. check it out if you want! :)
OMG!! You're amazing. This may sound a bit out there but I'm a pro cage fighter and pro wrestler; my entrace music is Hero by Skillet... Can you please do a cover for me? I'd be honored and will give you anything you'd like (not a car or house obviously-lol)
@ROCK1Paint wow! that must be so cool!!! I've never heard this song before, but I'll definitely listen to it and maybe try to do an acoustic version!! :)
for the bargain of just one thousand dollars!!! yaaaay!! hahahaha I'm kidding... just a comment it's fine! hehehe
btw, where do you perform?
and thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it! :)
Since this is a woman, wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "she has a lot of ovaries covering this song," instead of saying she has balls, as she is not a man, but rather a woman?
ur the only one i found on youtube coverin this song..thts pretty impressive..it would be great if u could cover "angel" by dave matthews i couldnt find it anywhere..
Good job. You need to bring more serious energy to the vocals - and the guitar needs some different strumming - since you are solo, you need to strum differently than Dave , who has a big band in back of him. Selective strumming, like longs strums at times, or a few short ones,breaks up the rythmn, adds interest. Its just not the same strum rythmn. Mix it up - I enjoyed it greatly. Mark Great job
Really nice job :) Great song, great cover. What chords did you use for the guitar...and did you use a capo so i could move it down without changing the chords?
your boyfriend must be very happy... we can see the way you look at him when you say "how I love you".... I'm 100% sure this Marinho guy is the happiest man on earth... Awesome job, 5 stars always.... /luv /bjo plop
Great job!!! I just saw this song live 2 nights ago. Dave puts on such a great show, and I really liked your cover of one of his best!! Keep it up...Peace and Love
so conheci vc por causa dessa musica, Carol. Agora virei fa!! muito sortudo seu namorado, eu vejo vc olhando pra ele quando vc canta "how I love you" =P
i hardly go a whole week without watching this video at least 5 times and giving it five stars every single time... maybe one day I'll see a live version...
GR88888 JOB!!!! I can actually make out the tune. Some renditions just are cheap imitations. With you, the chords were on with your voice, and you do bring something extra to the table like...maturity. I would be very surprised if you had not been in love before or to be in love right now.
To answer finkyfeke: Yes, it is a great song! And Carol did a great job. I've heard a recorded version (also sung by a female) on an "acoustic tribute" to DMB that was virtually same version as Carol did here. Sure she had some trouble with this song...so does Dave. Extremely difficult song to perform. Why so critical!
It's a great song, so it shouldn't be messed with anyway, but I'm afraid your version just strips it of all that was good. Neither your voice nor your style of playing suits the song. Just compare yours to the original... Also, your high notes were flat and I'm pretty sure a few of those chords were wrong.
I am one of the biggest dave fans and this is one of my favorite songs...this is pretty good and it is refreshing to hear a woman sing a beautiful dave song...is it perfect, not by any means; however, i have heard dave in concert do worse than this so take that for what it's worth. I loved it
if you like some cool sittin smokin feelin high music, i would like to invite you to watch our home produced live music videos...our music is original and we hope to capture the listener who is appreciative of home grown organic music and jammin...tell us what u think and subscribe to qeqo23 if you would like to be updated on more live entertainment and when we finish our cd.....thanks
quit hatin ppl...shes obviously not dave...but shes good! if you were chillin with friends and she was there and busted out with crush, youd be chillin along with everyone else
Last comment by cbirf completely unnecessary and unwarranted. Let's hear your version of this song, cbif. Listen to more of this young lady's songs and see if you feel same way. Although this is one of my favorite DMB songs, it is one difficult, disjointed song to perform...Dave Matthews even struggles with it. Great job once again, Carol!
Really awesome cover. I cover Dave Matthews sometimes when I perform. Crush being one of them actually. You should get a shot of both you and the guitar so it can compliment you very nice guitar work as well. Do you perform at all?
