I love this lady, magic her voice, fluent and harmonious finger picking, inspired soul playing and singing, absolutely lovely this song of J. Mitchel, thank's for sharing your art sister, keep on doing, I really love and appreciate, bye :))
This is such a gorgeous Joni Mitchell song, and you're doing great...not sure about the key changes you are using in parts...lovely voice, keep it up...you sound like a young joni
You have a nice voice, nice enough to entertain the listener. Technically, when you sing sitting down with your tummy cramped down you give yourself to singing a bit flat at times. Try standing up; work on your breath control, take deep breaths, and push from your stomach. It's a stronger way to sing and will give you better control in front of others.
Something that has helped me has been to do breathing exercises; take a deep breath, hold it for 20 seconds; then, let it out slowly.
Lisa...I've seen Joni perform this live many times...and I can tell you, you did an excellent job! Not one of her 'easier' songs....very good finger work...the timing is crucial with the chord changes...very nice...^/^
I was just there yesterday! I biked Laurel Canyon and imagined what it must have been like living there in the 60s. All the dwellings are built into or right against the mountain. Funny thing is a saw a woman about her age walking around....Could have been her? Little cafes and market....kind of fun to imagine Joni, James Taylor, David Crosby, Carly Simon....all of them shopping those markets and sitting in those cafes. Thanks for this. Beautiful as always.
I really like this and I disagree with some of the comments about your singing...I think it was a brave choice for you, because there are a lot of odd, eccentric harmonies twisting and turning throughout the original recording. So what if you falter here and there? Who wouldn't? I like your rendition very much and think it honors the original. Really good job and your guitar playing is very good as well !
That bottom string should be plucked in a lot more places but you plucked it here only twice. It's an important part of the music and should be included.
Again your voice is superb although you lost the tune here and there. I say this only because you are so good and you just *almost* there and I'm trying to help a little.
You woke up and said to yourself "What is the most difficult Mitchell song can I attempt on You tube today?" You did iy beautifully. I am wiping away my tears as I write. Thank you.
I have watched almost all your videos. You have a new fan. Why you're not famous and making CD's is beyond me. You're fantastic! Keep posting and I'll keep watching and listening! Check out my covers too if you like.
Highly enjoyable. And I agree that you can open up your head voice even more. You're already getting a beautiful tone but it feels like you can do even better. Thanks so much for sharing this.
love the new covers..bravo.. your guitar is sounding particularly toneful today!! thank you.. would love to see more nick drake from you too if you ever feel inclined!
Thank you very much! Yes, I will post some more nick drake covers soon! There are a few of his songs I can play now - just a case of uploading them! :)
Thanks for all your comments davie - they're so very kind and encouraging! I will try to upload "you turn me on (I'm a radio)" sometime soon. I learnt it a while back, just havent thought to upload it - but I will try to remember to post it up here! :)
