Moody River (Acapella Cover)

Ok so I was going to post this after I recorded it...
But then realized that I had recorded it on Valentine's Day.
Not exactly the best song to post on such an occasion.
Therefore, I am now finally fulfilling the request for "Moody River" by Pat Boone (he's the singer, not the requester)!
(Valentine's Day flowers n' all :D)

P.S.
I know there's a few notes that are shaky and one MAJORLY wrong note towards the end, but this was literally my first take and first time singing the song ever, so please bear with me.

P.P.S
Go check out the original version on youtube.
Very creepy. 0.0

-----------------------------------------------

CHORUS
Moody river, more deadly than the vainest knife
Moody river, your muddy water took my baby's life

Last Saturday evenin' came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found
With a note addressed to me
It read "Dear love, I've done you wrong"
"Now I must set you free"
"No longer can I live with this hurt and this sin"
"I just couldn't tell you that guy was just a friend"

CHORUS

I looked into the muddy water and what could I see?
I saw a lonely, lonely face just lookin' back at me
Tears in his eyes and a prayer on his lips
And the glove of his lost love at his fingertips

Just out of curiosity...did you drown your boyfriend on Valentine's Day ?! : ) Great song ...as usual.

[yourhighness336]

You've got a good voice, but this is a country style song -don't try to sing it in soul/blues style - doesn't work.

[JoeSmithAu]

Your Highness ( i'll make it two words ) you have done a wonderful voice and a

soulfull version of a great folk song.

Keep up what you're doing. I see you play guitar. So if you ever feel like it,

do Moody River with accompaniment. It's also helpful for staying on key.

I'm not critisizing - just want to help.

Thanks for doing this.

love this song .. nice girl

[nexus78705]

that is one of my favorite songs and that was a great original rendition. you should audition for american idol with that song. that show needs people like you...not the crap they put on.

Like always, you did very well. Also, I like your youtube name. Since "Reina" means queen in Spanish, the screen name "yourhighness" fits.

Oh and by the way..you are stunning in your face/looks. Beautiful and you remind me..now that I think of it, the Chinese actress Shu Qi..the pouty, full lips are just like hers...you're georgeous and that will not hurt you at all if you decide to get into..the "biz"/ (music/show business).

Thanks for the friend add Your Highness.

Being a musician all of my life..singer and multi-intrumentalist...I want to say that you surely have some significant talent. ..(here it comes)>> HOWEVER, sometimes your notes in some of your vids I have seen are a semi-tone 'off'..[flat or sharp]..work on this so tha eventually you can even ad lib or scat..in key..effortlessly. Your voice is warm and has a nice texture and beautiful solid, almost husky tone..with good range it seems. Keep at it.

just something about your voice.. it's enchanting. you're so smooth and confident when you sing, it's just a privilege to listen to you..
