That was so cool! I'm new to ukelele but have been playing music for years. I really dig the laid back feel and the tone of your voice. Keep up the great work! Never stop the music.
Also LOVE your cover of Ring of Fire (check it out fans!), and although some may find this comment sacrilege I enjoy it better than then all of Johnny's versions. I now play and sing that one too with my niece, who is a budding vocalist.
I have been playing the ukulele and singing for around 2-1/2 years now, and nothing has influenced me as much as this video. Fabulous cover, completely transforms the song. I listen to it every morning when I wake up and most days find time to play/ sing it once or twice. Thank you shiny and the spoon!
I do believe that I have fallen in love with you. I never heard the words "it's no better to be safe than sorry" before I heard you do this. I always thought it was "it's better to safe.."
Hi ukebucket. I've been coming back to youtube for a while now just for your songs.. mostly your covers I must admit. I absolutely love the laid back, care free nature of your instruments, voices, and even your locations... on the floor and in a living room. I probably don't speak for everyone, but please do more of this and less of the studio recordings. I kinda liked the new version of take on me.. but it didn't hit home like this version. Anyways, thanks a lot for the great music.
I can't say that I like your virsion. What I can say is that a-Ha does this song, and it should be left that way. I'm sure yous guys are great, I just like the original better. A lot.
I only wanted to hear a version of this song where I could understand the lyrics (I'm pretty sure the Reel Big Fish cover gets them wrong), and as the video started I was like yeah, okay: ukulele, light-brites, I get it, cute shtick, whatevs. Then she started singing and I'm not *entirely* sure what happened next but I do remember crying a little bit and being happily surprised when the guy on the kalimba joined in on the chorus.
@rhysninetyeightynine The African thump piano is known by many names depending on the tribe. The Mbira is a small resonant wooden box with metal tines, each different length for the notes.
ummm... like this song. listening from the chilly shores of lake erie in euclid oh thanks to our good friend lex sheely. got this on the constant playlist. fantastic sound. wtf mike is that?
Still extraordinarily lovely after listening to your rendition for more than year. Beautiful voice, great back-up. Would love to hear more from you two.
I am happy to give 20 bucks to you guys but i hate paypal and i hooked on when you had less than 1000 hits and have followed you I must have watched this sooo many tiimes and all your posts and really... you are fantastic but i dont know how to give outside that way, from down under in australia, i saw one song on myspace but it has stopped working for me... PLEASE tell me how i can contribute
what a great rendition of this classic 80's song. Now the original band is from Norway where its' colder than a witches titty, so this version would be like if A-ha went to the Caribbean got some tequila and tans and did it there.
I had very low expectations for this... But was pleasantly surprised! What a great way to end another day here in Afghanistan then to find this little jem of a video... Keep it up i am gettin my first Uke and hope to play this well...
Perfect live song played, by a Perfect couple. You can feel her voice, and see her face playing are hart's, and soul's out. As if each word within the song is given meaning. When times get to hard, and feel like things couldn't get better. I play this video back -to-back (twice). By then, I feel as strong, as there true love for one another. I can only hope that Aha will have this couple play live, as an opening for the song followed up with there own set. I'll buy tictets just for that!THANK U!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nice. I feel so chilled listening to this version, thnx for posting. Best wishes to you both, this is the true reason for YouTube, entertainment.
OMG insane! this has made my day 10 times better :D the harmonies and the simplicity of it all!!! 11 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you shiny and the spoon!
