  • brilliant. you are going to be a star. Love you. Ethan Dune.

  • Fantastic!

  • I LOVED IT!

    seriously, I usually don't like these videos of girls singing on youtube, they sound all the same, all so annoying, common and too pop

    but i loved your voice, and loved this version

    turned out a fan with this video! :)

  • amazing

  • I'd love to hear you sing The Decline and Fall of Me - just rediscovered that song today.

  • Wonderful Sparks cover variation.. :)

  • I love your version too!

  • Oh, I love your version too~ =3=

  • you are amazing!

    

  • ...but how would her voice sound with the reverberation...I'd like to hear less amplification. Is it me, but the song is depressing...It's speaks of love, but it's dressed in sorrow.

  • i just want to thank you... your music, particularly this rendition, had really helped me through some very, very tough times. If fate allows it, i hope to have the pleasure of meeting you one day to thank you personally for just being a wonderful musician. Cheers from Singapore.

  • aww you are so cute! keep it up ; )

  • Me too..

  • I subscribed. :)

  • Erin always manages to put something special into every song. Absolute pleasure watching and listening to her. Any chance of doing a Katie Melua song called ""What I miss about you"?

  • Beautyfull:) Thanks!!!

  • you rock! you need to be famous!! you got the talent and the looks :)

  • I would buy this, if you released it as a single...great job love.

  • Your voice is so classic. I'm hearing a little Karen Carpenter in this one. You're such a pure talent.

  • Gorgeous voice.

  • made me cry...

  • Have Ron and Russell heard this? It's beautiful!

  • you kinda look like Ron Mael, actually!

  • Love the last picture in the video at 3:11 - your facial expression :-)

  • this was seriously perfection! i looove it

  • Exactly what others have said - Beautiful. Thank You.

  • Still my favorite.

  • Beautiful. Thank you.

  • Wow! Exceptional...

    Love it!

  • this is great

  • This is a crazy diamond

  • I have followed sparks for 30 years and love everthing they do. I think your interpretation is pure class, what a superb voice. Any chance of some more ?

  • Beautiful interpretation of a sublime song! Do you have any other Sparks covers for us? I might suggest Toughest Girl in Town. I think you could do it justice.

  • What a brilliant interpretation. What a voice.

  • This is really beautiful.I came on this sort of by accident looking for Sparks videos,and I'm glad I did.Gorgeous cover.I can see why Sparks songs would be difficult to cover but I can think of another I think you would do a good job with.Gorgeous voice

  • Good on you for covering this song, it's not an easy task to turn Sparks songs into romantic ballads cos their music is so offbeat and cynical. :)

  • wow. i've been thinking about covering this in cabaret. your voice blows me out the water. wow.

  • Not bad..The original version is much better tho. This version takes away the catchy melody of the original.

  • Thank you, so very much. You have made my life just that one note richer by your having shared your unique take on this wonderful song.

    5-star - favorite.

  • you took a really fascinating song and added depth a new perspective. gorgeous and entrancing with a perfect pace

  • that is beautiful wow good job!! It makes me happy:)

  • LINDOOOOOOOO.... MARAVILOSA

  • Awesome!!!

    Play moar sparks!!

  • wow... amazing!

  • thanks :)

  • WOW, i thought i was the only one who remembered this song from Sparks, Love them, but your rendition was lovely also.

  • thanks :) It's a great song.

  • i'm usually such a bitch about anyone touching sparks, but i really love your phrasing, and you have a wonderfully rich tone to your voice.  well done.

  • Thanks. I know what you mean. There are very few Sparks songs I would have the nerve to cover.

  • This is so awesome. I love your eyebrows. Your voice rings so so...it trembles throughout your whole body.

  • She makes it sound like an actual love song, stead of completely creepy. Which makes it more creepy! Excellent work.

  • Haha! Thanks, that makes my day :)

  • I really prefer this beautiful version.

  • i prefer this version over sparks....i hope that doesnt get me in trouble

  • This mellifluous mezzo would sound even better in tandem with Russell's falsetto... the raised eyebrow's a nice tribute to Ron's priceless mimicry ... keep it up!

  • Now, I'm simply enamoured.

    Lee

  • I'm glad I stumbled upon your page. I love the complete abandon in your vocal delivery. There are a lot of people with lovely voices, but few with that quality.

    Beautiful performance.

  • Ahh, and just like that all the stress of the day is gone. I've heard this many times, every time it's perfect. Really, amazing just like all your vids. Take care.

  • How could I not love this oh happy day ,thank you for singing for me.55555.

  • Beautiful , ,and I loved the raising of the eyebrow , or was it a "knowing wink" at the end !!! I'm sure lots of people would love to hear you do some more Sparks songs. Perhaps if you get the chance you could check out a few more of their songs that you could "interpret " ( I couldn't spell "cover" ) in your own way . I have always been a big big fan of their music and it's wonderful to see a young talented musician like you doing this .......brilliant !!

  • Great vocal work - very impressive! :-)

  • Well dear Erlinmerle,this is so beautiful Congrutulations with your marriage with yourself and thank you Roeleke for this charming singer-pianoplayer.I couldn`t resist Erlinmerle to put you in my You Tube- "Hall of Fame"-Favourites.......

  • INCREDIBLE voice!!, so clear so powerful, so full of feeling, yet you don't seem to give much effort to achieve all there wonders!!

    very nice song, lyric and music. thanks Roeleke for sharing, I appreciate it so much!

    Claude

    Enjoy this! :-)

    Roeleke , ... happy together, :-)

  • Thanks Roeleke for sharing. Love the title, the lyrics, and the singing :)

    Thanks for sharing Roeleke

    Aloha from Hawaii,

    Thomas

  • My sweet friend Thomas, hahaha. I love this!

    But probably you don't need a lawyer for the financial part and properties, hahaha!!!

    :-) Roeleke

  • I would respectfully disagree. Who will pay for the surgery? Who will pay for the therapy? Will there be any alimony?.....and which one would have to move out?

    Neil Sedaka said it best when he sang "Breaking up is hard to do"

    Love to you funny girl

    ~Thomas~

  • hahahaha! This is true. Thank you both :)

  • Ha Ha Ha...and thank you for posting a little humour to lift us up, and thank you for covering up your closet, who knows what we would see in there LOL

    I remember another Sparks song;"This town ain't big enough for both of us" Yeah those guys did some great stuff back in the day.

    Peace thru music,

    Thomas

  • like your style. kinda reminds me of sarah mclachlan, but with your own style :O)

    we should work together, i'm starting to kinda figure out my voice, maybe u could help :)

  • Wow!

    Thanks to Mike (doctorcastille ) for sharing!

  • Very nice rendition*****

    Antonio

  • The best video I found on youtube. Great great interpetation of a song from the great Sparks.

    'Saludos' from Spain.

  • Wow!! who ARe you?

  • i found you by accident, i'm so glad i did, i can't wait for more

  • that covers your closet?. Ah Erin you´re so swett.

    But if you can get sick. that is a sad day for me

  • great :) your very talented

  • Very nice version. You've made my day as they say. Thanks x

  • It's 2 am and I'm listening to this song a sixth time. Thank you!

  • Great cover and not an obvious one.

    I have to agree with the comment before mine, do a version of "Slowboat".

  • Fab interpretation. Gotta give "Slowboat" the same treatment! Please x

  • You covered your closet, but with a wrinkled sheet ! Actually, it was more distracting than the sweaters and blouses, which no one really minds, anyway. BTW, why not get an agent ?

  • You are too good to be true

  • Lovely! Please do some more sparks!

  • If you weren't married, I'd propose.

  • You are so talented.

  • Awesome. Great taste in music you have.

  • sweet sweet voice and presence

  • glissandos as silky as a freshly zamboni'd ice skating rink. effortless.

  • Most original comment I've ever had! Thank you! xo!

  • Beautiful. I adore you. :D

  • Hah! The flirtatious glances to the camera really add to the playfulness of the track. Well done.

    Would love to hear you do some Cohen.

  • why thank you. I would love to do some Cohen too. When/if I can do justice him I will.

  • Judging by your Smith and Morrissey covers, I wouldn't worry about doing him justice. Famous Blue Raincoat or Suzanne, maybe?

  • Very well done!!! :)

  • thank you. I too am a Canadian stud muffin.

  • You are a nightingale!

    Your voice is a dream...striking!!!

  • Wow, you're making me blush. Thanks :)

  • Hi Again, The title/lyrics are reminiscent of a Smith's song. BTW, still waiting for "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" !

  • Siiigh. I know. It'll make it here some day. It's a surprisingly tricky song. Strange modulations and such.

  • This is classic. Absolutely stunning singing.

  • Thanks so much :)

  • what a handsome voice !!!!

    great like usual

  • thank you :)

  • goosebumbs

  • U R Great!

  • thanks

  • Fantastic, you have a real gift of getting the absolute best out of a song!

  • :) Thank you.

  • I can't tell if this song is suppose to be funny or dark. I married myself, I went neurotic. You could see, that's why I wear the white dress. I started laughing when I saw this. Anyway rock on, keep them coming yadda, yadda, yadda.

  • The laughter is mutual. I enjoy your matrimonial neurosis very much. I think married couples might be crazier though ;)

  • I made a film about unhappy married people. I'll put it up on youtube one day.

  • Awesome singing, always cool to see a new video from you!

  • Beautiful ... bravo

  • you made this song so much better :D

    i liked it originally but i like your cover better. you added more diversity to it.

  • That's a huge compliment, thanks :)

  • love

  • <3Thanks

  • great stuff as always

  • thank you :)
