More than this. 10,000 maniacs

oooooooooooooooooppppppps

[agusravegdl]

i like mary and natalie they are special....

[fundyracer]

Great bass on this.

[lazyfreedom98]

Some one post the fucken original.

[mimesis6mime]

the musicians of the 90's seem so rugged and poetically earnest, looking back. Even the radio friendly stuff had some weight, and more care was put into the musicianship.

More great bands around today though really, more bands in general.

[fastfoodclowns]

Bryan Ferry knew how to phrase the lyrics. This singer vocalizes w/o any urgency. It's just "la-di-da, look at my dimples." So lame.....

[HBKGroo]

Can't seem to wear this song out. I like it every time I hear it.

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

I enjoy this version more than Bryan Ferry's one though his sounds great too.

[bliss4jules]

Now if we could just put this original version - without the hideous dance groove - back with the original video!

[bliss4jules]

Now if we could put this original version back with the original video...

[LSena19]

Adoro essa música nessa versão! Não há igual....ela transmite num perfeito embalo que o meu coração quer passar........

[kanarek123]

Roxy Music the best

[OdairFernandes]

Fantastic version. Both of them are great (Bryan Ferry with Roxy Music and this one). The softness that Mary gave to this music is simply perfect. I've heard some critics about versions of great old musics; one of them was "Can't take my eyes off you" performed in a "new version" (by that time) in the 80's by Boys Town Gang; the same critics to "Always' something there to remind me" by Naked Eyes (still in the 80's). IMHO I think all musics I mentioned in this post are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

[RayenMalal]

¡La verdad es que Maria Ramsey, hace un trabajo genial... por mérito propio, brilla con su propio talento; debo decir que soy fans de la Natalie Merchant, pero es de honor reconocer la joyita de versión que les quedó a los 10,000 Maniacs, saludos chic@s!

[Reeseriver]

I enjoy this cover better than the original also. That's pretty rare.

[donnafa]

Love this song!

[Horde1Blades]

thanks god the good versino of the song

[alexp9999]

each time i hear this song, it breaks my heart anew! bueno! =D

[jcoleman200439]

Cool pictures!

[acda50]

Linda canciòn. Angelical voz de Mary Ramsey. Bonitos recuerdos....

[19Danillo]

very good song, and the voice is amazing!!

[piliguill]

very great version!

[ywsdttm]

Roxy Music did it better but then this chick had a hard act to follow after Nat Merchant.

[alexp9999]

each time i hear this song, it breaks my heart anew! bueno!! XD

[paulixpaula]

bellísimo tema, hermosa voz. Dulce y melcancólica a la vez!

[jcoleman200439]

Mary Ramsey is amazing!!!! Especially in

"A Room for Everything."

[murphicus]

Lucy Kaplansky has a version out too - much slower... very different, but I like it too.

[kekinhoph]

muito bom... melhor 10 000 vezes do q a versao original da Blondie

[ifyouwantbochin]

The original verison it's actually from Roxy Music.-

[MrSyldys]

tu canta demais mulher Deus me livre,adoro sua voz,o jeito q vc termina essa musica,huhuhuhuhuhuhuh rsrsrsrs,é fantástico.

[thitodantas]

concordo plenamente! onde está esse grupo hoje?

[coloradowinter53]

I HATE cover songs! In 50+ years I'd never heard one that was worth a shit compared to the original. When the DJ announced 'this is 10,000 Maniacs doing the old 80's hit More Than This" many years ago, it was cringe time ... til I heard it! Love at first listen! Guess if you live long enough, you'll hear something you never expected, like a GREAT cover version! LOL Glad I found it ... runnin' outta time here :)

[amerocker]

@coloradowinter53 "...never heard one (cover) that was worth a..."? I could list many and I'd *think* you'd agree; Jimi Hendrix's cover of Bob Dylan's, "All Along the Watchtower", to name only one.

[hespheiden]

@coloradowinter53 Wow, you pretty much nailed my thoughts on this. I didn't even know who Mary R was until this and it led me to find out all about John and Mary. I knew Lombardo from 'Wishing Chair' but that's it.

[Foozkillah]

hey @coloradowinter53 , how bout Klaus Meine & the Scorpions' "Love of my Life" cover of the legendary Freddy Mercury & Queen? Not so bad eh? Or any cover by Evanescence's Amy Lee, for that matter... You just have to look a little wider... most classic songs covered by other legends are usually pretty good too, don't you think?

[thegonz9]

@coloradowinter53

What about another cover of their's "Because the Night"?

[firetaker25]

@coloradowinter53 It helps to actually listen first before judgement. Some of them one likes, others not, like any other song.

[caradehaba69]

@coloradowinter53 I'm agree with you. The artist that makes the cover version must be as good as the artist of the original version. In this case, both versions sounds great.

[demonhoopa]

@coloradowinter53 You really don't like any other cover song? Hendrix's All Along The Watchtower? Ike And Tina's Proud Mary? The Beatles Twist and Shout?

Anyway, interesting story. Thanks for sharing!

[athanasius300]

It doesn't sound like N. Merchant.

[guyphawkes]

That is not N Merchant, that would be Mary Ramsey, a goddes in her own right

[dopamineluv]

@guyphawkes Translation of the description:

A cover made by 10,000 maniacs, sans Natalie Merchant.

[SpinyDogfish]

This is so much better than the other 10k maniacs version.

[fogetabtit]

Great, I love it very soothing.

[sabrina232323]

very  good

[marek4400]

so well done

[gothsdontcry]

lots better than brian fairy----------

[Kdog54902]

Yes, this song seems better suited to a female voice.
