Beautiful harmonious music. This piece deserves every kudos there is. Makes me sad that this can't even be considered for a Grammy. But i guess the loveliest works of art are hardly ever popular in their time. I can't stop saying it - beautiful, beautiul, beautiful....
For cellopro: the original release has the same cello part that you played in FL, and it's beautifully played on the recording. Unfortunately, it's only available as a bonus cut with the purchase of the whole ATDW album, and there are no notes, so no idea who the cellist is.
I agree that this song just gives goosebumps. I personally think that this could be a re-release with a cello solo in the background, perhaps a cd-single, I'm certainly up for it.
There are just SOME songs out there that capture you, and don't let you go. Sadly not enough exist. This just happens to be one of them. I'm thankfully to Jesse Vargas for the part, and the opportunity to make these performances part of my history as well as yours.
I love Clay to pieces, but this was the first time ever, watching videos of this performance, that I found myself wishing the videographer would take the focus off of Clay, and bring in the cello player, and THANK YOU jojo, for doing just that. You have created a memorable, chilling performance forever.
Unbelieveably wonderful. Clay is always incredible, but add the beautiful music of the orchestra in this piece, and especially the cello!! TERRIFIC! It gave me chills!
Paul, I've been particularly interested hearing renditions of LAA in which the cellist is highly skilled and plays the contrapuntal line prominently phrased to compliment Clay's vocal. Once an active cellist myself, the Lover All Alone cello part it to die for...and clearly your passion for music, and this piece, is reflected in this video. I am so very glad that your artistry graced Clay's concluding performances of his brilliant Lover All Alone.
Some of us were begging on Clay's mssg board before the tour started for a cellist and Lover All Alone. We got our wish fulfilled. We are thankful for you, Paul, for such a beautiful paring with Clay. We are also so furtunate that our experienced videographer jojoct knew exactly what was important about this piece. We're always so tempted to focus on Clay but, in this case your performance, Paul, was married to Lover All Alone and I'm so glad that jojoct captured it.
Hey, the West Palm Beach video of the "classics" medley (unexpected symphony) is a trip--I love the way you spun your cello, and got the others doing it too. That's the kind of fun all the orchestras should've been having with that medley. I sent you a msg. on how to find it.
The orchestra was one of the best I've had the pleasure of playing with. ALL of the musicians are great, and pretty much all of them are good friends.
I really thank you all for these wonderful comments, and once again to jojo for catching this clip, just the right way.
Paul, you and Clay together were magnificent! I was watching concert video from the Florida shows last night and noticed how immersed in the music you were during every song on which you played...both the"slow" and the upbeat ones.
The entire orchestra was wonderful to the ear and so much fun to watch!
Amazing video of both Clay and the cello man! Paul's really into Clay's songs as I've seen in the Classic Medley.....he's feeling it!!! Love this song so much!!
This is definitely a keeper. Beautiful song written by Clay. Paul did a magnificent job on the cello and I loved this performance. Wonderful team, Clay, Paul and Jessie.
There are 2 other video clips showing you and your excellent cello performance during Clay Aiken's Lover All Alone from the last concert at Orland HRL - trying googling the site clackunlimited You find the downloads under 2007 Summer Tour Clips / Orlando from Invisible926 and spotlightlover.
Paul, just wanted to tell you how very much I enjoyed watching you. I remarked to my husband that I was enjoying you as much as watching Clay (well, almost as much). I as happy that Clay has such an excellent orchestra to back him for his last 4 shows! My compliments to you and the whole orchestra.
I've had this as my profile song on MySpace for the past three months or so... unfortunately!
(I mean, of course, unfortunately because of the theme of the song, not because of the quality or anything like that.)
