KRIS SHRED - You Took You Away (Idea Version, Unplugged)

[pleaseavoidblindness]

i feel cured from wanting or needing you in any way

cured because you're just not the one for me

for so long i tried to do the best to get along

now i'm lifting my hands up in surrender

we just can't make anything good together

[pleaseavoidblindness]

we have not missed each other

because we never were

the time we spend together doesn't mean

anything

and all the feelings that were

they just don't mean a thing to me anymore

[hunnieee]

schade das deine gitarre immer so laut ist... sonst könnte man dich besser hören, aber super lieder! respect ;-)

[KrisShred]

Immer? Das finde ich nicht. Aber stimmt, bei diesem Video schon, da es eine schlechte Raumaufnahme war, auf die Schnelle gemacht direkt nachdem ich den Song geschrieben hatte. Aber hör dir mal die überarbeitete Version an, Video-Info bitte lesen :-)

Danke dir!

Kris

[mittalamandeep]

u r amazing bro.... i am a big fan

[KrisShred]

Thank you :)

[AlimorelStyles]

Ive got to be honest, i didnt like that one as much as your others, You play the guitar beautifully, and your voice is great, but it just didnt do i for me X

[KrisShred]

I'm producing a polished version of this song at the moment. Don't know if I'll upload it until the deadline of Aleisha. Anyway.. you'll see ;)

[1928javier]

Sie sind einer meiner liebling sanger Kris. I suck at German, but I enjoy your musik very much. This one considering the agressive input it's quite a sad song. Tu musica es de lo mejor que he escuchado!

[KrisShred]

Thanks so much Joseph :)

[marywinmusic]

Hi Kris, another great collaboration you've treated us too! Very energetic full bodied acoustic performance, I can see you on a big stage with all the lights hehe ;) Cheers, ~Mary

[KrisShred]

Oh yeah :O ..now that you say it, I can see me there too! Singing a song, forgetting the lyrics and messing up the chords hehe ;))

(I'm a master of that lol)

Thanks Mary

[marywinmusic]

No, you'd do fantastic on a big stage hehe. 5* Again.

Cheers, ~Mary

[coolanddark]

your an awesome songwriter KRIS.this is incredible.great song.new fav.

[KrisShred]

Thanks. Feel free to cover it if you want. Cheers :)

[ParadiseEarth1]

WhooHooo! Another strong contender!!! It's getting exciting... getting near the end... :)

[KrisShred]

Thank you :)

[bentonio07]

Klasse, was mir an der ganzen Sache gefällt ist, wie viele völlig unterschiedliche songs rauskommen.

Wummt!!!

[KrisShred]

Das ist wohl wahr. Das war ja beim ersten Contest schon so. Aber nun hat Aleisha ungefähr doppelt so viele Responses :D hehe

[bentonio07]

Hehe, sehr cool: Die Geister, die ich rief LOL

[CasualDaveDotCom]

very cool, man!

[modernoracle]

Very cool brother! Excellent music and performance for some great lyrics by Aleisha. Im sure she's excited about this Kris! Nice work man! 5

[KrisShred]

Thans MOracle :D ^^

[SocialDecline]

exceptional kris, as ever!! you get better looking with each vid aswell :P x

[KrisShred]

Ty ;)) Wow cool, you played piano on the streets :D Very cool vid

[IRTheBorg]

Aleisha writes some really great lyrics. And if this is a work still in progress I can't wait to hear the polished version :-) -IR

[KrisShred]

Hi Larry :) Hm, thanks for reminding me that I wrote that. 'work in progress' was more related to the structure of the song (chords etc) than to the sound. The next day I went thru some details again and decided to leave the structure similar to this version here. Only the end will be a bit shorter ;) Maybe in winter I start to record polished versions of my new songs for my next album :) Cheers!

[g4d4j5]

Woah, that was intense! I really like it. You really have a voice for singing that hard rock style. Great job.

Check out my entry (it'll be up in a moment). I also wrote it in a couple hours, but, I fear, you sing a lot better than I do. :\ I don't have the power I'd like to. Oh well, practice makes perfect, eh?

[KrisShred]

Nobody's perfect. And hm.. maybe you just have to find your style. I also covered soft songs like Elvis or old songs written by Peter Paul & Mary or Simon & Garfunkel. Maybe that suits your voice better? Just a thought..

[IvoniceAstrid]

i like your version Kris, its a power ballad xxxx Ivonice

[aleishar]

rofl...even if you look like a cave man in two months, your music will still be awesome. :D I've heard all your originals and the ones where you say "i wrote this 2 hours ago" are among your best. :D I think DaveD said to me once, when the moment is there...you know. So, you rock Kris!

[KrisShred]

Hm, that's sad, because my songs where I put in hours of work are TOOO complicate methinks lol. When I wrote this one I only thought <i>Let's write an easy song with some nice but ordinary chords.</i>

Usually I record a few test samples in before and put the ideas together in the end. Here I didn't think about anything, but just recorded this video. That may sound arrogantly, but it's the truth. Thanks Aleisha :o)

[aleishar]

Well, I don't mean it to sound the way it sounds. I think ALL your songs are excellent and I know you put a lot of work into them. And the ones where you put hours of work into it ARE your BEST. So, it's not meant to sound bad. I just mean that you compose excellently, almost effortlessly. Hope you understand. :)

[KrisShred]

Haha, nooo problem. I'm not really sad about anything. I love this my new song, I really like the melody and what I created out of nowhere. My complex songs aren't my best. They are my more complex (or complicate) songs :P That they are.

In the end I wrote two good songs by taking part in your competitions. That's enough goodies for me :D

Kris

[Josy139]

Toller Song. Gefällt mir sehr gut.

[soaringman]

too bad they banned razers in germany

[KrisShred]

you mean raz0rs? :D yeah, it's a pity, but what can i do *sigh* ..in 2 months i will look like an cave man ^^

[soaringman]

Hey don't tell me how to spell, I know english.

Ok maybe I dont. look out i'm uploading my version

you inspired me. But I have one thing you don't, Back up chicken

[KrisShred]

[nevermind150788]

[KrisShred]

thank you n3v3rm1nd :)

[Priloomis]

Loved it!!:)

[KrisShred]

hello pri :-) obrigado

[MikeHelmsMusic]

Chris on the fly...? Like a freakin soarin Eagle..!

[DaveDaddario]

Hey Kris very energetic,and bright with that country western guitar.which guitar sound do you like better now than:this or your classic guitar?

Grtz Dave

[KrisShred]

For powerful songs like this the steel guitar is better of course ;) For soft songs like my Elvis cover I think the nylon guit is more adequate.

[djmadturk]

great music to the lyrics ... 5 stars

[chudnovsky]

Excellent song Kris

Cheers,

Alex

[KrisShred]

Yeah, I sang with a different technique this time :) The guitar is of a friend. Cu

[KGeert]

WOW great sound in that guitar :-) congratz on your new strings.

The music underlines the feeling of frustration and following clarification...

[KrisShred]

I'm so glad I wrote this song out of nothing. I really like the riffs and the melodies. And the power in it. Thanks Kristina :-)

[wayslinn]

Ooohhh so easy for you to write music.. I'm jalous!!! ;p

I like this guitar, sounds good. I'm curious, What is the model? :)

[KrisShred]

It's a Crafter, Oakland 55 GAE N - American Classics Series

[MonkeylessJohn]

Great intensity in this one Kris. Very nice guitar sound also !!!

[guitarrox]

very good song bro 5stars from me RoXOn

[clemaxxx]

find ich super das du dich auch druch gerungen hast eine version zu machen... ich wollte erst auch nicht und habe es dann "getan" :) es macht ungeheuer spass die sehr unterscheidlichen sounds zu einem text anzuhören...

[Viktoria3]

Wow you just wrote this? Very impressive Kris! I really like it! I enjoyed the words, glad you posted it. :)

[KrisShred]

Yeah, just wrote it ~ Thank you Vally :)

[duschgel]

ABer warum ist in allen deiner Lieder ein Hall drin?

[KrisShred]

Warum net ;) Gefällt mir halt :) Danks

[Fabjan2007]

I love this vid ! :-)

Great job man... 5 *****

[strat2caster]

love the triumphant feel of the guitar in this Kris, nice to hear another take on alieshas awesome lyric ;o)

[kickingmule]

You say : I wrote the music 2 hours ago !!! Like that, cause it's so near the Blues, you can come. Meaning that instant sound is the right feelin. Thanks Kris for another Masterpiece !

[KrisShred]

KickingMule, I love your comments! Thanks!

[conkling]

the sound is excellent...its so full!!! 'as the steel strings ring'....luv the chorus as well!!!

kick ass (like usual)

[normalizeME]

Woah.

Du bringst mich immer wieder zum staunen :)

Sehr sehr toll!

[seancoppinger]

nice. Like the flange effect

[Frankliso]

amazing as always.... I really like the Sound of your Guitar... Think i will change to metal strings soon

[aleishar]

I don't know if my other comment posted. YT is having some challenges. So, I'll try again. The music is definitely original. I like it very very much. I love the tempo and the intensity. :D Danke dir!

[celestialsam]

Agreed!

[DiegoSynth]

yup, nice tempo & intensity! rather lively song.

[aleishar]

Hey I really love it! It's powerful. I think your voice is fine. Because you were using so much power, the mic would have been too close. The music you composed was really SOLID! :o) Thank you!! And thank you for the compliments. :)

[celestialsam]

Agreed!

[AntiPerfectionist]

War lange nicht mehr auf Youtube ... jetzt muss ich mir erstmal deinen neuen Videos angucken. Das hier gefällt mir auf jeden Fall schon mal wieder sehr gut!Sehr schöne Melodie!
