To mark the 30th anniversary of their worldwide hit 'Echo Beach', MatM perform their 2010 "grown-up" version with a mix of old and new live footage, behind the scenes studio shots and fragments of the original 1980 video.
@100BABOLAT I love their original version, but this is just beautiful. Love this to bits especially as they include original fotage/audio at the end. Terrific remake indeed!
Spectacular! This is one of the greatest Canadian pop songs ever. The original, including the haunting rif at the beginning, resonates in my head even now (I was 5 when it first came on the radio). This remake is quite terrific.
There's a saying in the music industry that if you do a cover version (or in this case another version) of a song, it has to be either much better than or very different to, the original. It's impossible to do this song better than the original in the same style - so M & TMs did a very different version... and it's excellent, almost like a different song.
that was beautiful...I just found earlier versions (1980, then 1978!) and watched them, for the nostalgia rush...then found this, which incorporates all of the above with a stunning arrangement that highlights the poignancy of the reminiscencing.
Brilliant job on this performance, this video. This sure is a keeper.
