"You Need Somebody" (original song) - Stephanie Strand

[aurinkotaika]

Very nice song and playing. You also have a very groovy presence! Greetings from Finland...

[modeldaughters]

This song is gorgeous - you are awesome Stephanie! -frank-

[captainamazingg]

You give me an eargasm and an orgasm at the same time.

[avedic]

ok, so, ive heard this and "angry" and am totally in love with your music. please tell me the record labels are clawing at your door. they should.

this set up you have with the amp on your voice just so perfectly complements the songs you write.

i think, in a word, your music is best summed up as being EFFORTLESS. you sound like this music is a part of your body...not something contrived. i write music myself and will surely be inspired now by what i've heard. wonderful stuff

[snake60pk]

totally amazing !!

[followthearcher]

Personally I fell for that song "cosmic radiation"...but this here showcases the richness of your voice...absolutely gorgeous.delicate and powerful at the same time; the embodiment of the feminine condition. And I'm always a sucker for a lefty lol Keep rockin!! Maybe one day we'll cross musical paths.

[viosound008]

you're voice reminds me of a kind of Beyonce voice, very rich and jazzy. Great song, very moving ;)

[sheebshag]

Reminds you of BEYONCE?!?! Try Nancy Sinatra with a pinch of Billie Holiday. Seriously, Beyonce? Someone needs to broaden his/her musical horizons.

[viosound008]

@sheebshag it was just an opinion, at the time maybe I just imagined a pop version and Beyonce singing it. I don't disagree at all with her richness being comparable to a jazzy forties or fifties artist....everyone has their own opinion (by the way I listen to almost every genre of music not just current) and I respect yours, please respect mine :) It was more of a compliment to how much depth and talent I get from Stephanie like some people get from Beyonce that's all.

[sheebshag]

@viosound008 Fair enough.

[pissdrunk0yea]

your voice is beautiful... im n luv

[phvalue323]

Thats fuckin beautiful :)

[stephstrand]

thanks man!

[phvalue323]

Your voice is a real womans. Beyond sex, into the essence of what femininity truly is. Beautiful :)

[Aslanspal]

I close my eyes and I am in this dark smokey bar and cradle a Whiskey on the rocks and I hear this song. You have a sad texture that is poingnant and creative...and that is a good thing...people stop and listen to pay attention ...it is reflective. One more thing the ease in which you sing with feeling...

comes off nuetral in your face but the voice is full of feeling.

congrats you are into it

[Future4Reference]

wow your left handed lol..I don't see many of those lol

[starrchild99]

Great voice!

[Walkwander]

Fantastic song, great lyrics, well played. Hats off. :)

[momto3talents]

Another winner from Stephanie. You should make a video from the song you wrote called cosmic.....(something like that)-- that is also one of my favorites....Where did you get that beautiful voice?????? Not from me, your mamma.... Love you.

[dredlockMiki]

Beautifully done! This song gets sweeter each time I have a listen..I really enjoy you work Stephanie, and I can`t wait to hear more.

peace

[worldismarble]

Your songs are so flavorful!

[yorkie2014]

slightly reminds me of nancy sinatra, great stuff. deserves to be at least on a movie soundtrack.

[crookedpathgem]

i'm constantly amazed by the wide world of talent out there.

you are gifted.

[aprilmkelly]

this is your best i've heard. ok i'm subbing, i'm a singer songwriter too and this is very good. not that i'm any athority ha ha..i just like it.

[Hlfay]

I am so blown away by your voice and overall sound! As a singer/songwriter myself I LOVE finding other musicians that really inspire me! So glad I found you!

[dunskie]

I keep coming back to listen Steph. Better every time.Love it so much. I'm such a big fan. Where's that new one?

[radzz1]

Great Song!

[jugnutgut]

You have a different sound and I like it!

[rachaelpachel]

I like her sound too Rob, reminds me a bit of Madeline Peryoux. (sorry if sp is off)

Yet she has her own sound. Another winner, on the jugnutgut top 10 list. You sure can find them!

Steph, I am subscribing to you! 5 stars and a FAV!

[dunskie]

"I cant believe it. How long I was blind" I LOVE that musical piece of the song. The way you sing and play it. Another dynamite tune. Gotta tell you though, Dreamgirls was one of the worst musicals I ever saw. You almost lost me with your description. Your style is very refreshing and you write better songs than most young troubadours I hear. I can hear a phenomenal CD. I want to play percussion and sing harmonies with you in a duet.

[stephstrand]

No, I agree with you about Dreamgirls - I was incredibly disappointed. But, you can't deny influence! It really does come from the strangest places sometimes.

Anyway, I greatly appreciate your eloquence in these comments! I've said it before, and I'm serious: it means a lot coming from such an experienced musician.
