thanks again, Matt. Well done. I haven't heard Ani do this and thanks to you I'll have that pleasure too. I've subscribed so I'm looking forward to a lot more fun and learning and of course your performances too. Sincerely, gene
This was the first Ani song I ever heard, and now I own her entire discography. I also do a cover of it on my accordion, but I really like how you interpreted the song!
listen, orsetto (which in italian means 'little bear'), if u get so scared by a singing guy i would recommend less traumatic videos. try to search for 'cartoons for little bears' next time
Actually, the correct form for 'little bear' is orsino, NOT orsetto- though thank you for pointing out your ignorance and know-it-all attitude. Quite funny.
Even if formally correct, I don't think that the word 'orsino' has ever been used by any Italian speaker during the last 250 yrs, or so. Thank you for pointing out the marginal component of a message and not getting its true content. Quite sad. That's it.
I'm sorry- is this your boyfriend? I can see where all of the hysteria comes from then. And again, sadly, you are wrong. It is used frequently in childrens books. And, as I live there now and am a teacher using said books I find the arbitrary, unfounded and hyperbolic '250 years' comment still more of an indication that you must be a teenager, either that or a kid who knows how to swear in Italian and now feels as though he is fluent and all-knowing. Really, you are hilarious!
You are even more hilarious: I am an Italian PhD student (graduated in Italy, researching in the UK), and I am 29 yrs old. Thank you for your corrections anyway: I am sure you can master my language better than me. Would you please help me to find the right translation for 'orsetto' then? Also, considering your sense of humor, I really think that your pupils have a lot of fun with you. Are you are very good as teacher too: formal precision much more important than content! Wow, amazing...
nice song to sing along with though, think we all know those lyrics and have sang em time to time ;) Still you manage to add complete emotion into it and make it a journey, well done again. I'm gonna shut up now cuz i'm typing loads <---- seee!!!
Usually I don't watch people on here who cover Ani's music, and when I do, I usually lose interest half way through, but this is AMAZING! Thank you for this
my friends and i sang this while one was caught in between leaving her husband and loving another man in our course...so we just sang this song FUCK YOU! :D
I have to say it.. even though I would like to say it wasn't the best version of the song I have heard nobody can deny the amount of feeling you put into this good job.
wow, this is a very good version of this song. I sang this song at a concert once and i'm going to sing it again soon but i prefer your interpretation. Would you mind if i get my inspiration from you?
How long you been singing? I'm always so blown out of the water by your performances. I mean, nobody sings like you do. I just want to replay some songs over and over. Do you have any plans for concerts in Turkey? I've gotta know cause I'll be there for sure.
yeah, there is something different in the way you deliver this song...the "emotion" is not pushed at all, seems like the song is yours, like it comes from your stomach. watching it i feel like you are really sharing a secret, showing us something personal. keep up the good work.
could you do a how to play on the piano for this song? can you play this song on piano? lol i dunno.... this has been my favorite song for the past year so that would be amazing....... i would love you forever
you know, i tried for a long time to figure out how to play this on the piano and never got it right. but i'll look at it again -- maybe the experience of playing it on guitar will make it easier the second time around.
: ) maybe, though she would be a tough nut to crack -- but i saw her recently here in new york and i was singing "emily" for days afterwards. a remarkable artist.
Good song for you. Best when you stick to songs with internal drama going on. Songs you can act. You don't have a big voice, but you have strong emotion.
God, I love it. You have such a beautiful, lulling voice. Even singing "fuck you", your voice makes me want to crawl under warm covers and sleep so peacefully.
You kinda look like Ed Westwick ! :)
