...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.
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"?
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 !!
wonderful voice...strong , powerful and very , pleasant controlled in power and vibrato....all all words sayd , are not enaugh to describe more....but...very great perspective....anyway....
i'm very happy together with my self , listening you...in my heart.....cause...ears , in your case , are long time ago , melt together with my heart , sweetheart.....
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.......
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"
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.
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 ?
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.
wow, you are so lovely. :) excellent rendition.

Hi Erin, came across this video about two weeks ago and can't stop listening to it, if you've had loads of views on it it's probably me! lol
The cover is great, your voice beautiful and inspiring and the control/range of your voice is amazing. :)
I'd love to know the chords to this so I could play it at home x

the thumbnail for your cover and for the music video are nearly identical. did you do this on purpose?
this cover led me to discover the original song (as well as the band), and I'm obsessed with both versions.
