Very good. First time seeing you guys. I was very impressed with the Portuguese and equally very impressed with the girl's voice. If you don't mind a suggestion, I think you (girl) could try holding some of the notes ( smile....) and softening it a little. Think of warm golden honey. But mainly I am very impressed all round. Thumbs up from Ireland.
A plus. Your entire channel is incredible (especially all the bluegrass) and I admire your ability to play so many instruments so beautifully, but this video particularly caught my attention. It's great.
That was really lovely - not perfect, but perfect isnt always better. I think what someone else said about maracas for Larkin would be good as well as holding some of the notes longer. One thing that stands out is the "Aahhhhh", try to make it sound more soft & sexy, like a cool shower on a hot day.
I think you two are just so talented & Im clapping from my office.
(very good portuguese. Portuguese is very difficult)
I have a baby boy now and I couldn't see all your videos... but I could yesterday: "in dulci jubilo" and "get back"... then forward to my brother that loves good musicians. I like you so much.
I have been watching your videos for some time now and am so very impressed with your talent! Have always loved this song and think you both did a really good job. I think Larkin's voice is amazing and sooooo smooth, but would have liked to hear her hold some of the notes just a little longer in some spots. Keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing more of your music:)
Nicely done - an excellent take of a classic (Although you might want to give Larkin some maracas or something so she doesn't crack up at your Portuguese, and I assume from the mandolin solo that you don't play the sax). Seriously though I really look forward to your posts - they are always a delight. One stupid question for you (which occurs when one has stared at the microphones for awhile): have you ever tried using a boom mike? Thanks!
With the previous comment noted, this upload is not my favorite due to an uncharacteristic, yet apparent, lack of attention to detail (you've set a very high bar). Specifically, the four instrumental tracks are slightly out of sync at times and the guitar video appears out of sync with the audio. The overall instrumental performances are great, but not, in my opinion, up to your usual standard. On a more positive note, the vocals are fabulous and the overall concept/arrangement is brilliant.
@Prolocity@Prolocity Hey- thanks very much for your honesty. I actually had to remove this comment from the spam list to reply haha. This comment is far from spam and frankly I prefer constructive criticism to lavish compliments. I absolutely agree with you. The music and video are not in perfect sync and the mandolin chop is most definitely occasionally out of time. I was going to fix these things last night but found to my dismay that the raw files in the editing software (continued in next)
@Prolocity had gotten messed up, so all i had was the version that I had sort of thrown together over break. I was in fact not particularly happy with the mandolin solo and was going to do another take of that as well, but now I'll just have to let things be. Thanks again for following my videos and giving your honest opinion.
@200000028@200000028 No problem Josh...the feedback is certainly not intended as criticism. It is very obvious from your work that you are quite the perfectionist...To be candid, you are producing some of the highest quality work I've seen on Youtube. With your combination of musical talent (good instincts), heart/passion, work ethic and attention to detail, the sky is the limit. Never stop pursuing the dream! :)
First, let me state the obvious...you (and several of your friends) posses immense talent. I am one of your most loyal fans and have watched every single video you've posted several times...including some of them numerous times over (She's Leaving Home = 100+ :)). Contd to next comment...
Wow, Josh! This is great! Your Portuguese is remarkable. Did you have someone help you with it or did you just pick it up from listening to this song?
@azpunky Thanks so much! On the subject of harmony—alas, not on this song. But we did record one more song together when we were both back in Charlotte... You need only wait a few weeks!
So excellent to have the full verse and chorus in Portuguese first. I thought both Josh and Larkin sounded great, I only wish there had been an opportunity, perhaps on the third chorus, to harmonize? :)
Another great song that shows your incredible versatility. Love your Portuguese & Larkin's silky voice! Does Larkin also have a YouTube page? Would love downloads of her singing pretty much anything! Also really enjoyed the mandolin used in a very jazzy way! Liked that almost as much as the banjo doing Swan Lake!
Thumbs up from me....
