[ryecroft57]

A heartfelt, well-done cover of Sinatra's classic song. I was sorry to read that Gayle Caldwell died earlier this year. She was an underrated songwriter. In addition to "Cycles," she also wrote "Wandering" which appears on Sinatra's CYCLES LP (an underappreciated track that I enjoy even a little more than "Cycles.") Thanks for sharing your cover of this song--I thoroughly enjoyed it. -- Gary P.

[mettanc]

@ryecroft57 thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.

happy 2010.

[mettanc]

thank you so much for watching and your lovely comments.

michael

[777golda]

Now, that is how it's done, beautiful! And, you are welcome, welcome!

[mettanc]

its such a great song...the writer of this song died this past april and the time she wrote it she was in the hospital, that was 1968.

[777golda]

This song is so rich and precious to begin with and to hear it's history is even more astounding. I am going to look up her biography and a big thank you goes out to you on this info.

[mettanc]

u r most welcome.....

i think i was 16 when i first heard thsi song...and i knew even at that age it was special....i heard it on an Lp in the library at the NC school of the arts in winston-salem...i will never forget it...it was one of those "ah" moments.

[InnocentMalin]

Thanks a lot Michael for such a wonderful song! It's quite pertinent to my situation now, :-) with none of my experiments running properly ( or giving really hopeless results ) in my research studies. I should keep trying!! :-)

Cheers!

~Anindya~

[mettanc]

timeless lyrics....

[Steve669909]

The best vocals!!! I havn't heard anything like this in months on youtube!!!!

[mettanc]

Thank you, but much to my surprise their are many guys on the tube that do the stuff I do, however most don't just use a camera and music...that is all I use. Many are not even on camera, my guess is so they can read the lyrics and use special PC software to make the recordings sound professional. I am very old school.

Thank you,

michael

[Voyagersguidebook]

Aww, these lyrics are touching, it has that sound like it was written in the sixties. Poppy/folky. It's a different play on singing the blues, instead it's cycles. ;) I like the 'Life is like the seasons, after winter comes the spring...' Excellent performance.

[mettanc]

A simple melody with honest lyrics makes this 1968 song to be a classic story/song.

the lady that wrote this song was in the hospital at the time.

michael

[hardnessofthisworld]

wow, very nicely done to a song with beautiful lyrics, great delivery, terrific composure, nice voice, better than anything i've "ever" seen on those tv shows like american idol,etc........peace

[listeningtoit]

What a job. 100 stars to a Star - Michael! Besides your perfect clear diction and sincerity there´s something very special about the sound you make. It´s natural! That´s it. You sing and the soud comes out naturally with velvet sound production althogh it´s got sonic energy! You´ve said you´re not a voice virtuose. I do not agree. I think you are! Your admirer from Rio!

[mettanc]

i love this song coz of the lyrics.

[majerseyboy]

I almost didn't listen to this because I thought "Anyone who is gong to try to cover Frank singing this is going to suck". But I couldn't find the original, so I gave it a try. My apologies. If I close my eyes, it sounds very close to Frank, and the interpretation of this timeless song is comparable to his. Excellent work, and thank you for making this available on You Tube.

[mettanc]

When a singer brings a lyric to life, we typically call the process "interpretation". I try to sing every note and every emotion to extract the most believability out of the text, to tell a story in the most expressive way possible. I try to pick a song I can feel and understand, so when I sing I have some credibility.

I'm not a vocal virtuoso. There are singer's whose techniques are superior to mine. I don't fully read music.

Michael

[CNZ19]

So true what you're saying Michael - a singer brings a lyric to life. That's something I'd like to remember and never to forget. :-)

Chris :)

[VoiceOfSinatra]

You sound not only better with each new performance but also more self-assured. Have you ever considered modern arrangements like the ones Sting used for "Angel Eyes" and "My one and only love" (In "Leaving Las Vegas")?

Eva

[mettanc]

the music background of "all my tomorrows" i sing is very pretty, most of the other music i sing too sounds "just ok"...but that is how it goes with background tracks. i WOULD love to sing to NEW arragements to thse songs. In fact i have been talking to a DJ here on utube to get him to remix some of these songs. he wants to know what the "bpm" (beats per. min.) are...i have no clue.....i have a pretty soundtrack of angel eyes, but not of stings.

[missu4u]

the man with the right words to sing always, and sings it very well:) loved it!!! Missu/One
