[practicing4]

@earthonika Wow, CJ! Thank you....I was worried to post this, but appreciate soo much that you thought it was ok. Thank you, my friend!! min:~) x

[Plans4Nobody]

Wow! What a great vocal presentation - I really like the additional processing...it emphasises your expressiveness.  Did you pull the video elements together, too? Very well done!

[practicing4]

@Plans4Nobody Thank you, P4N. My husband just surprised me with a mac, so I am just learning how to use garageband. But, I was able to figure out how to use reverb. Lol. Thank you for your comments on the vid too. I just pulled photos from the net from those kind enough to post. Thank you, again! Blessings, min:~)

[ToniMattTony]

WOW Min I think this is your best so far. Your getting better everyday. Tony

vic

[practicing4]

@4EVERTHEOLDCHARRO Thank you Vic!! You are so kind to visit me again! I hope you and yours have a wonderful week too! Blessings, min:~)

[Radioviewer]

Now this is an entirely different sound for you! Your voice captures well the energy of the song, of quiet desperation deep within the soul. Poised, polished and powerful are your vocal stylings (some marvellous phrasing, by the way) in this melancholic and rather pleasing theatrical cover. Take a bow.

[practicing4]

@Radioviewer Thank you, RV. Your insights are always deeply sensitive to the song. I love this keeness you possess. This song has more melancholy than madness, in my opinion? And, you have perfectly phrased that there is a quiet desperation deep within the soul. To me, the writer of this song isn't only desperater? They have also surrendered to this state? Not sure? Love talking about it. Thank you for all you have offered! min:~) x

[BebingtonGirl]

Excellent stuff MIn love the moody dark feel of this song - grew up listening to the Tears for Fears original. ( boy that dates me ! ) But this arrangement suits the lyrics far better and how much deeper you voice sounds :o)

Sue x

[practicing4]

@BebingtonGirl Not sure of the exact day, but Happy Birthday Sue!!! Heard about your new camera! Laughed out loud after hearing your enthusiam to run around and capture everything, including hiding, waiting....LOL! I would do the exact same thing!! I love photography. I am excited to see what you captured! Thank you too for listening to this rendition, I am so grateful for you!! Love, min:~) xx

[BebingtonGirl]

@practicing4 Thankyou Min its today ( 26th ) I'm hoping to catch the elusive lesser spotted Mary in the undergrowth !!

Sue xx

[practicing4]

@BebingtonGirl WELL! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TODAY!! I hope you catch that elusive, lesser spoted, Mary. LOL!! I heard she may be looking at/for the sparrows? No matter what, I hope you have a complete blast with your camera, and you will have memories forever as a result. REALLY hope you can upload some of your adventures on yt? Just thinkin' out loud?? Love you! min :~) xx

[LOVE2Flute]

Favorited.

So beautiful. Very sad... but goodness... tears flow easily listening to you share your wonderful song. So wonderful

[practicing4]

@LOVE2Flute Love you, JP!!! Thank you for connecting to this song. We share in that place and I have met you here so many times before. All your posts do the same thing.....peace and love, my Bro!!! love to you and all of yours, and always! min:~) xx

[williheckaslike]

You have captured the mood of this Brilliant song, perfectly Min.

Superbly sung, fantastic Video ~ Very good sound Quality (This was not done with your usual recording method ! ) ~ You are getting better, and better, Min ~ Very well done ~ All the very best, and take care ~ Your friend, Geoff

[practicing4]

@williheckaslike Thank you, Geoff. YES! New sound via garagband on my new macbook! This may sound strange, but this is the first time I have really ever heard myself. Yes I have other recordings, but not like this. I am still somewhat surprised by this sound. I don't hear myself when I sing other than pitch etc. So, to really be able to hear the song like this is so weird. Thank you for your huge support, Geoff. You are incredible and a blessing to me! Love to you and B!! min:~)

[terigower]

sounds different,deeper and a pure recording which comes across as really clear...lovely thought for ur friend Jude....

[practicing4]

@terigower Yes, I thought I sounded different too. WOW! It is crazy what reverb can do! I am only used to singing carefully into my webcam! LOL!! I am now using a macbook that my husband surprised me with! Learning curve is straight up ;-) Jude is an AMAZINGLY spiritual person. I can hardly wait for you to meet her. She isn`t on youtube, but she said she will be soon!!! You will just love her Mary. Love you very much! min :-)xx

[lovelyTOI]

You've really captured the haunting & eerie mood that is necessary for this song to be effective. It's a very dark sad song & you've delivered wonderfully. Beautiful job. Stunning pictures too =)

[practicing4]

@lovelyTOI My kindred spirit, Toi! Thank you for listening and for commenting. I was nervous to do this because it is dark. My incredible friend Jude has offered that in order to truly grow, we need to bring love into the darker areas of our lives. It is only with this understanding that I offer this song. My calling is to love. This was a challenge, but a learning too...a journey, I suppose. Thank you for walking along this path with me. You are a blessing! Love to you! min :-) x

[songmansinatra120]

wow! that was haunting! in a good way. do you know how talented you are?

[practicing4]

@songmansinatra120 Wow. Mike, coming from you I am deeply touched. I did have to laugh though because I am really not talented,...I just found the reverb button. LOL! Thank you, my friend. Blessings! min :-)

[LOVE2Flute]

What a BEAUTIFUL song. Wonderful...what a beautiful tribute to your friend. So talented Min. Very beautiful.

Peace-n-Love to you and all yours

Always

JP

[practicing4]

@LOVE2Flute Thank you JP. I was nervous to post this because it challenges my initial goal of only posting positive, uplifting songs. However, my friend Jude has offered a deeper spiritual meaning to this song,. so I could offer it? Jude is an incredibly spiritual person and while she isn't on yt yet, she said she will be soon! I can't wait to introduce her to all of you!! You will love her! Thank you, again my very special Bro!!! Peace and love to you and all yours too, always. min :~)

[LOVE2Flute]

@practicing4 - You are wonderful Min. Your talent touches all. I swear someone is going to find you and recognize the wonderful talent you have and bottle it...to share with the world. Never hesitate to share Min... you are amazing

[practicing4]

@LOVE2Flute JP!! I think it is your incredibly loving spirit that touches ALL! I seriously don't know anyone who is so free to offer love in a pure, unconditional spiritual way. You are amazing and I soooo mean that!!! It touches me deeply that you can feel the energy in the songs. To me, THAT is priceless, and this alone is the motivation that keeps me going! It is you and those like you who feel the stuff I try and do! WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Thank you JP! Now I am in tears!!!! min..

[kajwilhelm]

Excellent vocals, Min! Kind of new style by you. I like it a lot. A little bit scary feelin'...

[practicing4]

@kajwilhelm Thank you!! This one is REALLY different for me, and truth me told I was giggling the whole way through because I felt like I was being overly theatrical. I did laugh, thank goodness it was in an appropriate spot lyrically, "and I think it's kind of funny," Yes, it does feel scary. I can't read music, but someone said it feels like this because there are more minor notes and the notes at the end of each phrase are too? I just go by feeling? Thank you again Kaj. min :~) x

[Sunambra]

The one and only Min one of the best singers in all YT.

[practicing4]

@Sunambra Thank you, M for listening and always offering your kind and generous support! You are a blessing to me, and I know I wouldn't be in yt without you! Thank you for helping me find wings....just learning how to not be so scared to fly....Love you! min :~)

[thedancetuber]

oddly enough, the first time i heard this song was during the movie "Donnie Darko" one of my favorite movies set in the 80's. the soundtrack contains some of the very best of 80's music. this song being one of them. Done by you makes it even more magical, and your video is spot on.

[practicing4]

@thedancetuber This song is surprising me! I had no idea how many people are familiar with it. I had only heard of it when Jude sent it a few weeks ago.. Was the movie Donnie Darko or Gears of War or were there 2 movies? I will look that up! Thank you Mikey!! Also, thank you so very much for your kind words and your support. I appreciate you, my friend and your time in coming over to listen. Love you! min :~) xx

[jimmymac30]

Min, this is a super-cool song, and you sing it to perfection. Your tone and phrasing are superb. I liked the video as well. Also I agree with Jude's opinion of Lambert. He's one the best singers to come along in a generation.

[practicing4]

@jimmymac30 Yes, Jude loves Lambert and I am finding out why! He has an outstanding voice and sensitivity with his songs, at least in my humble opinion?? Thank you for your kind words, Jimmy. I also wanted to say I hope you and your family are doing ok!! Been thinkng of you and all you have been going through... Blessings, my friend. min:~) x

[Mendips251]

Brilliant, one of my fave songs and you have made an excellent cover.

Take care

BoB

[practicing4]

@Mendips251 Thank you soooo much Bob! This is an unusual song for me, but I must admit it is quickly becoming a fav of mine too. My friend Jude is the one who deserves the credit for this song choice and I am happy to hear it is one of your fav's too. I love the creative energy that transformed this song from the original to what it is now. I love when there are differing interpretations on the same song. Love that!!I digress. Thank you again, my friend. min :~)

[weeyin1155]

How utterly wonderful. A superb dedication. Happy Birthday Jude. Hugs.. Jan and Susan ♥

[practicing4]

@weeyin1155 I have to say a HUGE THANK YOU to you both for your support on this and on the test run that I had yesterday. (Just trying to learn garageband :-)). You are soooo kind to listen to this two times and to comment both times!!! Wow! You are VERY huge hearted. Thank you, Jan and Susan! Love, min :~) x

[weeyin1155]

It's a pleasure to listen min. You make the song your own. Susan loves this one as much as I do. She covered the Gary Jules version for YT, way back when our channel just opened. It has no video, as neither of us had a clue how to make one then. LOL Have a really nice day and take care. ♥

[practicing4]

@weeyin1155 I am so excited to hear that she covered this as well! I am going to come over for a listen. A while back I listened to one of her songs and commented. I can't recall at the moment which one, but WHAT a great voice she has!! Thank you for letting me know! YOU, dear Jan are a wonderful soul and truly, it is my pleasure and honor to call you my friend. Thank you for taking time to listen and offer your kind words. Love to both you and Susan! Love, min :~) xx

[dnadsy52]

...as I like this song, I believe that this interpretation is good. d.

[practicing4]

@dnadsy52 YOU are always so supportive. Thank you, my friend. I appreciate that you take the time to listen and to comment. That means soooo much! Love to you, min :~)x
