Wow, i have never really listened to the lyrics to this but you seem to always bring the meaning of songs lyrics so clearly out...Amazing gift and musical talents. Thanks so much!
I've also listened to the Timbaland cover of this song. IMO, you're better. As a producer, Jimmy, you did a better job of letting the instruments be heard. As a singer, you didn't need to have your voice distorted in its higher range. And Bastiaan once again showed not just his amazing skills but his stage presence. He's STILL making things tough for all us other talentless wannabes. ;) Yes, you had mixing problems, but you did good work anyway.
I've got some friends who asked if you guys have done anything that you, yourselves, have written. Please help me to promote your work! Couldn't happen to anyone more deserving!
It is a terrible shame that the deck is so stacked against you. From what I understand, the record companies won't even look at you until you can draw a big crowd and you guys are so far apart you can't even book a gig. But you're talented and charismatic. You deserve a shot, IMHO.
@cpuwrite Thanks! I didn't see your comments in here because I just don't have much time these days... :( We are working on some new stuff though. :) Originals included. But life has a tendency to smear our intentions with the boulders of reality.
You guys just are AMAZING like how are you guys not selected for a record company! I honestly hated the original version but you guys made me LOVE IT! way better than the original!
I LOVE your work! My brother introduced me to Hotel California last night, and I've been searching all over to find the rest of your songs. How did the two of you come across each other?
Jimmy, I am so proud of you! You have such a great voice and Bastiaan's guitar is totally amazing. Both of your guys are so talented. Maybe Justin Timbaland would make you guys mega stars just like the way Esmee Denters was discovered!
A truly brilliant arrangement, guitar and singing is fantastic, thank you for posting .. when you find something in life you enjoy grasp it with both hands and enjoy the journey .........best wishes for a wonderful career
@irqslater You're the first person to comment on that! I agree, though. I actually think I had a problem in the sync between the music and vocal track when I was mixing it...
Oh well!
:)
I've learned a lot since then, I don't think I have that problem anymore... :)
@liz1312 Sometimes it can be Youtube slowing down, but normally the best thing is to reboot all your equipment, computers, including your internet connection and see if it improves...
You two are SO incredibly AWESOME!!!!! You give me goosebumps upon goosebumps but then comes knowing how far away you are from each other is just down right speechless!!! You definitely touch the soul!!!!
Hey old friend... I must comment. It's nice to hear something from you new. It's also really cool to hear something you sang without the "autotuner" lilke others who have attempted this song.... You've got a natural voice.... when's your record coming out?
Yes, people are really overusing the autotuner these days. I know in a few years all the music that people are using that for is going to sound so dated and no one will want to listen to it... It's so fake. It's kind of cool for now, but it gets pretty old pretty fast...
Hey, great music is not outdated... but just brought up to date... I was just sayin that You should look into a record deal or something.... Can you believe this guy with "Pants on the Ground...wtf" WHEN there is SO many people out there with better talent? I can't
YOU ARE WAYYYYYYYY BIGGGER.... than that.... I dont know how else to spell it out to you man .... you are comparison or comparible to the TOPS of ALL TIME. (that's a statement... not an exclamaition)... Continue what you are doin man. And btw, thanks for listening to my version of "IMAGINE" We all dream.
You'll have to give me a link for the "pants on the ground" thing... I've got my head buried in music, so I'm a little out of some of what is going on out there... :) Let me know!
This cover is briljant! Jimmy, your voice is still rocking! :) and Bastiaan, the solo is awesome...! I'm looking forward to your album. I hope you will upload a song of it soon! Can't wait!
Ryan likes it too... we can't stop watching this video!
My dear friends! Wow, what an amazing collab you have both made again! :0) It is always a joy to see what you will do next and I love this song! 5 stars is never enough to send you! I hope you are both doing great and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Love, Tamara xx
Okay i think there is something off, just a little off with the voice JG, perhaps you are fighting off a cold or too many takes? I dunno b ut it's still awesome, alittle raspy or not, this is a great piece of work and Bastaian comes thru wonderfully. Nice to see your new work again and fyi, I had never given this song a full listen till now and i think you might want to write a new song on apologies because in my book, it's never to late to apologize ; ) 'nuff said. Thanks!
Thank you all for posting comments and sharing the video with your friends!!
We know this vid isn't as 'big' as the 'Hotel California' and 'Stairway to Heaven' vids (of which the last one took us a half year to create, as you might know). That's because Jimmy and I simply have little time available at the moment, and we're busy with our album too!
We still hope you enjoy this one too! It was again a blast to work on.
Yes Bastiaan (wish i knew how to pronounce that ; ) good reminder ~ can't wait for the ALBUM! Thank you. You play that guitar brilliantly and it is ever so soothing along with Jimmy's keys. Thank you, thank you, thank you : D
Good Job guys! i didn't like the song choice at first, but you guys came through with amazing vocals (Jimmy) and that epic guitar solo, (Bastiaan) it was truly awesome. Well done!
Is it the song choices or the pictures and more words etc that we put in?
Here are our thoughts: We don't want to use copyrighted photos anymore because Youtube is having a hard time legally with uploaders that are doing that, so we're trying to help there.
We want to put up more videos, but adding text (a story) and more 'video elements' just makes the process take that much longer and we don't have a lot of time to make these videos...
In my mind, the song choices are supreme in my enjoyment of your videos. Both Stairway and Hotel California would be on my top ten songs list.
Also, this one seems like less of a colaboration, because of the lack of guitar. The colaboration aspect of it, given the distance between you two, adds a serious amount of mystique to your work.
All in all though, fabulous job, and feel free to take my completely unprofessional opinion with as many grains of salt as you can find. =)
Okay IMHO the 'other ones' just had a better flow or it could be that they were just really upbeat but the energy is very different on this one...could be the instrument thingie like you said but um, i dunno...just maybe not my favorite choice for you but still awesome like i wrote in my comment...i also think you should have been standing, imho. i think more power comes thru in your voice when you are standing...that's all from me..happy sunday jimmy and bastiaan. Ciao!
Hoy S*** man er um guys now .... can't believe u actually came back after your last amazing performance. Okay. Do some thing with it..... GOD I PRAY. And sir this is a song i love and you did it justice.
check my version.. is not a big deal... just a litte bit diferent
