Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness

[CerebralJam]

@planefreakifyable - I only have your word for that... in my mind, Kjell has a fantastic touch and interpretation of a song...

[CerebralJam]

Thank you everyone for your kind words - I am sorry - I forgot this was comments on approval only and I only just found a whole bunch - I really appreciate your visits and I will try and get round to visiting you in return :)

[vectraman1964]

very good song i love it not only got the looks of a angel but got a voice of a angel

[jimmyjazz66]

I love everything about this woman... her angelic voice, her direct and simple approach, the sparsity of the arrangement, and those eyes! Plus, it's one of the greatest songs ever written! It doesn't get much better than this!

Rave on CebebralJam!

[SR7863]

I have listened to over a dozen versions of this song on YouTube and this one is my favorite. I think that the problem with the video is not so much the proximity, but rather the quality of the recording equipment, as it is not totally clear and is somewhat jittery at that range. But it's understandable that we can only use what we have. Overall, I think it has a very warm, vulnerable ambiance.

[CerebralJam]

Thank you, yes, my webcam is very old... I'm a little older! :D

As the flash and quicktime apps improve - so have the quality of the cam... and I have also moved into using Windows Movie Maker... trouble is natural light, which I have very little of. One day! Thank you very much for the lovely comment.

[bbmaven]

What an angelic voice.

Amazing job. Follow your passion . . .

[CerebralJam]

Just catching up on all the lovely comments folks have left me. Thank you, I feel so honoured by the lovely things and encouragement people have given me to keep up with what has always been a path I have wanted to follow...

[bulbheadmyass]

Beautiful

[greenbastard439]

"...compromises for the close up"? Compensates? Krustygaylord, if you're going to have a go at someone try to use a phrase that makes sense.

The Green Bastard has Spoken.

[dfcracknell]

Sweet

[aliwhitwell]

Great song well done. Good harmonies too. Thanks.

[anna1rachel]

I'm not a big fan of the close up video but you have a Killer voice! Amazingly beauitufl, sweet and clear.

Keep singing

[CerebralJam]

Hello Anna, sorry, I see you tried to say this three times! I have the comments on approval only.

I believe in honesty so your comment about close up is taken into consideration.

I mainly do the cam recordings as I believe expression adds to an interpretation of a song, and you cannot see a person's eyes too far away... the eyes often tell the story you miss by just hearing the vocal.

Thank you for your very kind words :-) I do respect that for some my proximity may be uncomfortable.

[kirstymarielord]

Your good at singing it but i think you filmed it a bit too close to your face..... :)

[CerebralJam]

Hi Kirsty - thank you for your visit... sorry you don't like the close up - unfortunately that's the way it goes... the lighting in my room is pretty poor and that's as far as I get away from an ancient cam.

Thank you for you honesty.

[kirstymarielord]

Well, its a good job your fantastic voice compromises for the close up then isn't it :)

[CerebralJam]

LOL

I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult!

;-)

[kirstymarielord]

oh my gosh! no- I seriously meant it as a compliment! I would never be that mean! I think your voice is really good- honestly!

[CerebralJam]

Hee hee, sorry, I was teasing... ;-) It just read funny!

People, if you get down here and see my comment, please go visit Kirsty, she's a very talented young lady...

[kirstymarielord]

Thanks :)

[Tex1STLady]

WOW!!!....What a beautiful voice you have to match your beautiful face. I'll watch this over & over again. This is one of my favorites by Nanci. How 'bout doing "Late Night Grande Hotel"? Thank You Very Much For Posting This!

[CerebralJam]

Thank you for your very kind comments... I will look into the songs you suggest.

[cherokeespiritbird]

One of my favorite songs, and you have done a beautiful job with it!

[CerebralJam]

Thank you very much!

[robbabub]

Where have you been? You have outdone Nanci Grffith. Your rendition is so nice. Very beautiful. Thank you.

Mark...

[joni7mark7]

sound of guitar as lou reed,pretty chor of two voices,really slower than the original,listen award's price nancy griffith to understand what i mean.

[CerebralJam]

Thank you for your honest feedback... I do understand totally what you mean as I love Nancy Griffith and this is where I first heard the song. I also have John Prine...

Having said that, I'm not trying to emulate her, everyone sings a song how they feel it... otherwise it would be pure copy and boring :D I hope you are not too disappointed and will allow me that. I appreciate your words.

[joni7mark7]

i appreciate your words too and the color of your precise voice with some "alitérations" thanks a lot

[Gallplum]

Hi from NZ.

I didnt think anybody could do this song justice like Nanci.

Mmmmmmmmmmm..............wrong­!!!

So pure and clean!

More please.

[CerebralJam]

:-)  Thank you! It is a beautiful song!

[LilyRose99]

I've been writing and drawing and listening to you all night. You've given me the kind of music that inspires me. Kjell's guitar is sublime, and you... well, you are extraordinary, luv. What else can I say? Also:

I know you complained about the quality of some of the videos, but the washed-out look actually works beautifully. You look very good in watercolor ^__^ And perhaps the tight close-up was for practical purposes, but you really pull it off. You have such a lovely expressive face.

[CerebralJam]

:-) Thank you, you just made my day...

Kjell really is incredible...

[nllleonard]

You have a lovely, delicate voice filled with emotion. A beautiful performance of John Prine's wonderful song!

[CerebralJam]

Thank you very much... nice to meet you!

[wolfieuk]

I play along to this song on my new guitar. I love this song.

[CerebralJam]

It's a wonderful song... :-)

[gatepost1]

Hey! What a nice version.

Beautiful harmony.

What do you sing with the Big Brass Band and which band is it (I'm curious!!)

[CerebralJam]

I thought I'd replied, goodness sorry for delay... Over the Rainbow, Judy Garland extended version, Something Stupid, Embraceable You, We'll be Together Again, not been with them too long .... thanks for your curiousity! :D

[ingvey]

wow you are a real gift may I have another please Thanks

[CerebralJam]

:-) Certainly you may... thanks.

[davids3176]

I love your clear, articulate voice as well as the beautiful, sincere look on your face as you sing. Who is singing the harmony? Do you have other songs on YouTube? Do you sing concert? Keep up the good work.

[CerebralJam]

Hi, thank you for your wonderful feedback.

Um, it's me singing harmony too! Two layers...

Yes, other songs. Click on more by CerebralJam or click on my name in the box on the top right hand corner.

I would love to sing in concert... especially in this area of music.

Unfortunately Kjell is in Norway, (guitarist) and I'm a bit shy about reaching out in the UK. I am currently singing with a Big Brass Band of 26 members (one song or two), that's fun!

Thank you very much for your interest.

[margaretk1]

lovely soft calm version and original can you my applause from belfast

[CerebralJam]

Thank you Margaret for your very kind comments, I'm a bit late in approving them, but I appreciate all your visits ...

[margaretk1]

like your relaxed calm version, sweet

[margaretk1]

nice quiet version really liked it.

[gmcorrea]

Wonderful song! Beautiful voice!

KIM CARNES covered this song on her "View From The House" album (1988). Her version peaked #70 on Hot Country Singles & Tracks (Billboard charts).

[CerebralJam]

Thank you very much for your feedback and your information :-)

[robysaveri]
