Very good job. I've been an Annie Lennox fan since 1983 and think she has a great voice. I have never heard anyone else try to tackle 'Why'. before. I have waited for someone to do so on American Idol and similar shows but so far none. Just before viewing yours I heard Lara Fabian's and it is pretty good but I like yours better. Good job on a tough song.
You know what. I'm extremely territorial about this song, don't know why, just am. I always thought that Annie Lennox was the ONLY one that could do this song...but you just showed me wrong. It's different, but you kept the same haunting emotions that Annie put into it.
Absolutely fantastic mate. One of the best covers I have ever listened to. Recorded with absolute precision and mixed brilliant. 10 out of 10. Keep up the good work and get yourself a record label.
wow this is only second video of yours i have watched... mate you produce your songs so well and of course the playing is top..your vocal harmony is very professional.. love it..im a big fan
You pauses in that song are superb, no doubt if you treated ur own music (on ur site) with the same simplicity and pure naked brilliance as your cover versions you would be a huge star.
lol! you can come back as often as you want with comments like that! However, it only goes to show how great a songwriter Annie is. I always feel the sign of a good song is when it can hold its own under a simple, limited arrangement. Its a song with a wealth of emotion thats a joy to sing. Once again, thanks for your comment and for sharing this with you peers.....
very very cool! Directjinxy sent me the video....I'm glad he did. I love everything about this track...Vocals are clear as are the harmonies, keyboard sounds great & guitar is also good.
How do you do that double video thing?? Perhaps you could add piano or something to my videos in the same way??
hey! thanx for your comment. The double video thing is pretty straight forward with the right video editing software (....don't think windows movie maker will suffice) - I use adobe premiere. Organising the whole thing is a little more tricky. I record all the audio to an independent computer. you have to be careful/organised enough to ensure sure that the appropriate audio files are reunited with the correct footage when you edit the movie. Its good fun to do providing you have the patience!...
Thanks for messaging back Rob....I know you're probably a busy man n' stuff but i was wondering if it would be possible for you to add a multi-track of one of my vids just to show me how it's done? If one of my vids is good enough for ya? Just put up Black & Gold there the other day, maybe u could play keyboard and add backing vocals? If it sounds good i'll pay ya!? Have a think about it for me, will ya? Please? Good Man, Thanks. Mickser
your very talented but , the singing for this song , you gotta shout
