This was a very ambitious cover attempt.....I don't think i've ever seen anyone do anything close to this at all before this. I think everyone should take that into consideration, seeing as how no one EVER has made an accurate translation to the lyrics and those who think they have are pretty egotistical.....and invariably wrong.
@Sportyak67 Well which do you believe, your eyes or your ears? Of all the things I've paid over the years, attention seems to be the most important, as the saying goes.
@TheHowardmuse yeah but I just wanted to do the song, I wasn't concerned that much with whether the lyrics might be wrong. Shouldn't have mad an ass out of u and me, but I did. I've seen the error of my ways.
If you are aware this cover is so crappy why don't you do a new version? This time you could limit yourself to playing 'cause singning is not a matter of time or practice...you either rock or suck, you'd be the later.
You should delete this video. I'm sure you've progressed since two years ago. Maybe try it again, delete this and upload your new, improved version.
Posting this video and inviting people to comment on it is equivalent to walking into church wearing nothing but a thong, then wondering why the hell everyone is shaking their heads and staring at you funny.
I commend you for your braveness. But braveness does not always make a good performance.
Actually I'm just yankin' ya, man. This cover is about average as far as Cocteau covers go. It doen't help that the first word out of your mouth is "beetles" when the first word out of her mouth is clearly "bells." This is the major way in which Cocteaus have rendered themselves uncoverable, and anybody who tries is foolhardy at best. Theyu just embarrass themselves by taking the interps at face value.
@TheHowardmuse because my ability to interpet a song has been a progression, people don't stay with the same level of talent through their entire life.
just delete any negative comments. i wouldn't know where to begin to cover a Cocteau piece. I noticed people capo up. I love that you put your heart into it. I don't understand why anyone has a problem with someone who is expressing what they love. I saw a poster that said 'don't yuck on someones yum". Thanks for sharing your yum.

@Sportyak67 Not you personally, just your attempt at covering this song. Covering Cocteaus usually ranges from misguided to wildly misguided.

@TheHowardmuse Let's keep in mind this was almost two years ago, too.
