Beautiful. What's the stringed instrument playing here? Sounds somewhat Arabic to me. I also like the hovering voice. "Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair..." - I've always loved that line!
Great cover, has the atmosphere of original version. Nice, sad guitar, beautiful and somehow bored voice - perfect to be played in a lousy pub, full of cigarette's smoke and people drinking over their problems.
thanks! just did it myself!! that brought back fond memories from the better part of the eighties. it didn't come out as bad as I expected. if there had been girls in the room, they'd all fallen in love with me ;-)
aahh this is beautiful! why is scarlett making it with an - in my opinion - extremely weak sound, you two make the best TW covers i have ever heard, you have managed to create the same imagery that TW does so well, congrats!
I thought I already rated this a five. Maybe I did twice--doesn't matter I love vamos'voice and your balilaikitar. IF i were to criticize, and I'm not saying I am, I would suggest that vamos learn the words. Maybe it was the soulful content of those words that made her look down in humility, but it looks like she's reading. on the other hand, one of the best covers of waits I ever heard. right there with bruce.
for the video, it might be a bit misleading, because I had no video footage of vb singing this song, so I took that video of her from another song.... see?! ;-)
I always thought that the whole YT rate & comment thing is not of a big importance, but yesterday, I had 266 views and no comment...made me a bit contemplative,hahaha...

thanks for your comment.
the instrument is called Cümbüs, its a turkish invention from a luthier domiciled in Istanbul.
you'll find some information if you google for it.
