Love is just a four letter word - Joan Baez (cover)

[ibtheonlymarktoo]

i guess it's why you never have 'left' me....and why i return....beautiful voice....beautiful 'you'....

[Phantom3907]

Great cover, sounds just like a Joan Baez accoustic version. Good job

[tobestill]

Oh you're too kind! I've never thought it was that very good but then it is a difficult song to perform! Glad you liked it.

[kanavulator]

good job!!

[tobestill]

Thanks!

[fernwood01]

@atheoch it's not the point, tobestill has a very lovely voice, and as a budding artist posting video, her guitar is fine. By the way, there are 3 rules in life, the first one is to be kind, the second one is to be kind and the third one is to be kind! Somebody smart said that.

[atheoch]

Are you nuts? Joan stole this song? Then she stole all the songs he gave her to sing (hopefully because he was and is unable to sing).

[fernwood01]

tobestill, you almost had me fooled. It took me almost 15 seconds to realize you are not Joan. Nevertheless, it was an excellent cover.

[tobestill]

Thank you very much!!

[atheoch]

@fernwood01 Honestly 15 sec was too much. You can't even compare guitar playing....

[TheEpicMusicChannel]

Omg! Is this really you?! You sound exactly like her! Keep up the good work! :D

[tobestill]

Thank you!! Yes that's me :) you're very kind!

[TheEpicMusicChannel]

@tobestill I'm only saying the truth. There really no comprassion. Your voice is so flawless! I'd love to hear more of your covers!

[tobestill]

Thanks so much. I have quite a few other songs on my channel, including real videos and I plan to upload more :) you can check them out!

Dylan wrote this song for her to sing during one of the many times he squatted at her house.

[maximolb]

Bravissima!

[pbesmer]

tobestill, why no carreer, your amazing!!

[tobestill]

Thank you, you're very kind! Maybe someday I can play live more but for now music is "just" a passion not a job :)

[TubeUser718]

this is really an amazing cover...both the guitar and singing are top notch. one of the best i've heard on youtube.

[tobestill]

Thank you very much, you're very kind. I'm glad you liked it!

[Ed534]

I had never heard Dylan wrote this song. News to me. After all these years. Of course I'm just now learning the telling lyrics. Men can be so insensitive.

[pbesmer]

@Ed534 Immediately with the sexist anti men remarks.. Dylan is extremely sensitive and not sexist, based on the words of all the hundreds of his songs

[MrStarbucks10001]

THIS IS NOT JOAN BAEZ SINGING.........I HAVE HER CD OF THIS SONG AND THIS IS DEFINATELY NOT HER.

[MrStarbucks10001]

THIS IS NOT JOAN BAEZ SINGING.........I HAVE HER CD IF THIS SONG AND THIS IS DEFINATELY NOT HER.

[markparrgardiner]

this is the best ' singing / understanding ' of a bob ' song '

that i i will ever hear ! '

thank you ' you are a beautiful soul ! ' you play the guitar like an angel ! '

mark

[topgate]

I would love to hear you sing Girl Child Linda (Written by Donavan) covered by

J Baez MImi.&J Collins.I think you would do true justice to that song

God bless

[sublimeruca27]

I LOVE yer accent !

[frozenwhitebear]

listening again - surely I've been here before though I didn't find... I'd totally love to hear it how it sounds if you'd use the head register... have a good week tobee!! ;o)

[germansoccerfn]

Dude your version is better than Joan Baez's, its really beautiful (not that her's isnt), but its just awesome.

[tobestill]

Wow thanks very much, I've never really liked my recording of this but glad YOU did!

[napman99]

Oh yes, thanks for your cover and sharing with us.

[tobestill]

Thank you very much for listening and commenting.

[B4001950]

She found it written on a napkin or scrap of paper when they were lovers..He didn't recall writing it or so it goes....What another great song.....by Bob

[terianka]

Very well done... you have perfect voice.. this is one of the best cover I've heard ! Btw its difficult song! ... x x

[ibtheonlymark]

my very favorite song ...performed so gently by you...your voice and guitar...adds the sweet melody...that has me hitting 'replay'...again and again....

[tobestill]

Thanks again for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm touched you like listening to my songs. Take care

[vintagezigg]

Lovely

[blueridger28]

I Love your version of this song its my favorite beside the one with Earl Skuggs, and Richard Watson. Very nice good job

[annwnevelyn]

loving that guitar in the background already!

you sound like a hybrid between Joan and Dylan. It's quite magnificent. :] very very nice cover.

Happy holidays.

[IDLERACER]

If it's of interest, the reason Dylan never recorded this himself is because he knew the melody was extremely similar to "It's All Over Now Baby Blue." If it were his voice singing this, that fact would've immediately been obvious, and critics might've accused him of repeating himself.

[moceanu]

@IDLERACER lol like dylan would care what the critics thought; how can you be so stupid

[000Yerch000]

yeah.. good song, but it's not really a cover.. when as far as i know she was the only one who recorded it to an album

[tobestill]

As it is me singing here, it is at least a cover of Joan Baez if it's not a cover of Dylan :)

[ryanrocks84]

@000Yerch000 As far as I can remember from the Road-Movie "Don´t Look Back" Bob wrote this song but gave it to Joan because he mightn´d had a use for it. So you can say the rights of this song are by Joan though the credits say Written by Bob Dylan.

[manriq47]

Very, very nice. Your guitar playing reminds me a little of Paul Simon, but your voice is uniquely you, which is a good thing. Any more information to offer on your profile, so we can know a little more about the artist who is known simply tobestill? All the best. - Mark

[tobestill]

Thank you very much for your comment. I don't really like to expose myself, I mean apart from the singing, on the Internet, so I won't disclose more than what I have already written on the description area of my channel; maybe I'll do it when I get a little more confident about what I do, or when I have written my own songs....but I can always answer to personal messages though. Thanks again for your support, best wishes!

[b00027628]

simple beautiful

[welldonefromhereon]

lol, she didn't steal it from him...u should change that in the info window.

[tobestill]

haha! yes, it's not meant to be serious, but that's the word she actually ironically uses :) she said that, at the time, he wrote so many songs he didn't even remember them and so she would pick or "steal" some of them without him noticing :)

[welldonefromhereon]

cool :) ..thnx 4 clearing that up! :)

[zardozfrance]

C'est nickel, et ça fait plaisir que des jeunes de 20 ans continuent de faire vivre ces joyaux des années 60.

Je me demande juste si vous enregistrez en " one take " ou 1) guitare + 2) voix.

Il me semble reconnaître le son d'une Martin, une D35 ?

Bravo. les étoiles vont s'accumuler...

[tobestill]

Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire! Ma guitare est une Takamine, j'aimerais bien tester une Martin un jour...

Vous avez l'ouïe fine: au début je faisais une seule prise mais ça ne rendait rien au niveau du son (décalage entre celui de la guitare et celui de la voix) donc maintenant j'en fais deux. Ca me permet aussi de faire moins d'erreurs à la guitare, vu que je suis encore débutante ^^

[zardozfrance]

Ce qui prouve la qualité des guitares Takamine...

Tester une Martin n'est pas le plus difficile. Et puis si vous vous mettez à chanter dans le magasin, le vendeur va vous sortir le grand jeu.. Martin ne fait plus payer ses guitares à Joan Baez depuis plus de 40 ans, c'est même l'inverse.

[christophe76382]

une de mes chansons préférées chantées par Joanie et je dois dire que ton interprétation est excellente - cette chanson n'a pas l'air très facile à chanter . Ton jeu de guitare est vraiment bon aussi

[tobestill]

Merci! oui le chant n'est pas facile sur celle-ci, entre les aigus et les "semi-parlés".... J'aurais dû la chanter une tonalité un peu plus basse, comme la version studio, mais bon, c'est toujours possible :) ! Le picking à la guitare est vraiment chouette, il faut que j'arrive à trouver un moyen de rendre le son de l'instrument plus net :)

[nemito79]

J'adore cette chanson et ma foi, je dois dire que ta reprise est vraiment chouette !!! Très jolie voix et jeu de cordes très sensible !

Attends, tu as appris à jouer de la guitare en 1 an comme ça ?

Je vais vite me cacher, là... Ouyouyou ! :)

[tobestill]

Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire! Oui je m'y suis mise toute seule il y a un an et deux mois maintenant très précisément ^^ ! Disons que c'est Joan qui m'a permis de passer à la vitesse supérieure...!!!

[fannydecouverte]

Très belle interprétation

[tobestill]

Merci beaucoup Fanny!

[frozenwhitebear]

this is a powerful rendition! :)

[tobestill]

merci!

[marcoacca]

You really don't need my help...! Brava! Ciao, Marco.

[tobestill]

Thank you Marco... I feel a little guilty, I hope I didn't waste your time...I'm sorry!
