"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" Cover [John Lennon] by ALEC

[TheSolabi]

Well, it's still november, but i cant wait for christmas :) great video :) i love the pronounce :D from portugal ! madeira island

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

@TheSolabi Thank you very much :-)

[joebandoe]

You should replace that delay with some reverb

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

@joebandoe Uhm ... I thought it sounded like the original this way ... and technically isn't delay ... I manually doubled the track and moved the synch a little little bit, but thanks, I always appreciate constructive criticism.

Alec ,Merry Christmas to you and yours. I loved your wonderful music this year. You sound great in this. Here's to the new year. Cheers, Linda:)

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

@pugmom6 Thank you so much Linda ! :-) Happy Happy Christmas to you and your dear ones !

[WorthFIghtingForCT]

its a wonderful life! the movie we're all forced to watch year after year with the family <3

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

@WorthFIghtingForCT ^_^ Well, personally I feel -forced- to see it 'cause I love it, I'm not forced to watch or my mom becomes sad or such. I think no other movie with a story around Christmas has ever captured the spirit of believing that there's a moment in the year (being religious or not) where we all try hard to remember that good actions bring good actions, that we should probably live that way every day but we're not ready to do it. Lennon's message is similar, so I felt it matched ;-)

[WorthFIghtingForCT]

@ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC dont get me wrong i love it now haha but i just remember as a kid all i wanted to do was rip open my presents but year after year it was, a christmas story, its a wonderful life, dinner then finally presents! i will be sure to show my kids this movie!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

@WorthFIghtingForCT ;-) Well, I just took the occasion of your previous comment to express some feelings about the movie ... I also buyed it in DVD some time ago (the Black and White version) and I will be sure to show my kids too one day ! I understand what you say, kids just want to rip open presents before any other thing, I was no different ^_^ Happy Christmas !!

[invertballer12]

@invertballer12 Thanks a lot ! ;-) And have yourself a Happy Xmas !

[claudia1wapa]

I love this song

[SwingingsChoices]

5***** I liked it very much!!! Only my name isn't Swingingkaraoke anymore, that account was closed last year, it's now SwingingsChoices hahaha, Awesome job you did my friend!!! Merry Christmas to you and thank you for this respons!!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Hello ! Thank you !! Didn't I shared it with you last year!? I'm so sorry, I must have forgotten ... I was a little ill at the time. I'm SO happy you liked it. I just updated the infos with your new channel ;-)

Merry Christmas and thanks again for making this cover possible !

[POPARTPRODUCTlONS]

Great job and tribute Alec!!! John was one of the best!!! Merry Christmas!!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Thanks a lot POPS ! I obviously agree about John. Merry Christmas to you too, my friend ;-)))

[urbania70]

One of your best vocal renditions! Perfectly pitched and great vocal effect!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Thanks !! Fun fact: it's the first song I recorded after my 2008 (first and hope last) strong laryngitis :-)

[chocolatepoundcake]

This is really awesome, how did you get this sound? It's just like the original. You have a better voice though. Honest.

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Better than Lennon here?? I don't think so but THANK YOU ! ^_^ The audio effect secret? I doubled the track of my vocals and I made one start some milliseconds after the other. I suppose(d) Lennon made the same in 1971. Thanks again !

[chocolatepoundcake]

Thanks for the tip, I might try that myself...maybe it's just me, but I find my music program (garageband) really limiting regarding sound effects; most are useless. Which one do you use?

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

I record with freeware Audacity, but I add a lot of effects with a software originally concieved for guitar sounds effects called Guitar FX Box, very easy to use.

[Bflatblues55]

This is so beautiful. Beautifully sung and wonderfully accompanied by an ageless and classic movie.

You have such a lovely and rich voice!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Thank you very very much :-)

[poemsbytom]

great choice alex! super job.

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Thanks a lot Tom !

You've chosen a song that I love and a movie that adore. And ...you've sung like angels.

Congratulations once again my dear friend.

Happy New Year for you too. 5*...and direct to my favorites !!!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Thank you so much kind Mila !!

Your comment gave me a great great smile :-)

I'm happy you liked it so !

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Thank you Seb !!!

[urbania70]

One of your best videos/covers so far.. Perfect voice, not overacting. Wow one day you have to explain me how you obtained a vocal effect such near to Lennon's original. And remainders of your cold maked it more Lennon :-) Nice cinematic homage as well. And no, that's not late, I'll use it as greeting card for the new year!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

^_^ ! Thanks a lot Giorgio !!

[albetazza1983]

Thank you Alec!!!

Marry Xmas to you!!!!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Grazie Albe, grande supporter morale insieme a Dan e Giorgio nei miei giorni di low voice !

[urbania70]

Guarda che dico sul serio, la voce raffreddata ti ha fatto davvero John Lennon, un po' roca, con un tocco nasalizio haaaaaaarghh haha.. Adesso però vedi di guarire del tutto! :-)

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

'nasalizio' X-D

Buon 'NaSale' a tutti ! ^___^

[joliroi]

che voce

e che bel regalo ci ai fatto

grazie alessandro

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

:-)

Grazie del bel commento Loris !

Mi fa molto felice !

[Alcyna]

Ale, grazie per vari motivi: 1- 'La vita è meravigliosa' è il mio film di Natale!!

2- Aver precisato che la canzone non è dei Beatles ma di John and Yoko!

e 3- per la bellissima cover.... se l'avessi fatta prima l'avrei messa come vlog natalizio!!! (cmq tra i miei favoriti!)

Bravissimo come sempre!!!!

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

^_^ Sono felice che cover e info ti siano piaciute molto ! Eh ... l'avrei voluta fare prima anch'io, ma proprio non mi era possibile. W 'La Vita E' Meravigliosa' :.-) Riguardo agli autori, trovo siano annotazioni doverose nate dal mio personale dispiacere quando leggo riportati dati incorretti altrove. Lennon è un Beatles -forever-, ma è anche il loro membro con più masterpieces nella carriera da solista, quali Imagine, Jealous Guy o Power To The People. Grazie mille dei complimenti Marina !!

[TheHoleInTheGround]

La tua voce è compatibile con il timbro di John Lennon, con le chiare differenze ma è compatibile! Dovresti provare a fare altre cover.

Buon natale Alex

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

Ciao Hole :-) E' normale che mi venga di specializzarmi sulle voci cantanti, e quella di Lennon mi ha sempre affascinato, ed è anche una bella sfida. Fare altre sue cover, soliste o con i Beatles, sarà un mio pensiero ricorrente, ma come al solito tanti fattori saranno responsabili delle mie scelte future. Intanto grazie molto e Buon Anno ! ;-)

[dogpatchdebbie]

Fantastic!

Beautiful cover Alec, the video is awesome

Have a Merry Christmas:)

[ALEClovesGENIALMUSIC]

[frankzito1]
