My cover of George Michael's "Praying for Time".

I hope I do the vocal some justice, as I had to record thru a radio mic (My condenser Mic is broken). I did a small bit of
Auto-tuning as I rushed the vocal a little. (1 take) So if
I sound a bit like Cher in some of the track, please
forgive me. :)

All the instruments were performed & arranged by myself.
When I say all the instruments, it's really just 1, a
synthesizer (Yamaha cs2x) linked up to my computer. I am
using Reason 4 in this recording. All the sounds are
samples from Reason 4, except the Guitar sample is a plug-in I used in Cubase SX3. I think it's called Strum
Accoustics GS-1 by Apllied Accoustics systems.
You may as well have a real accoustic guitar in your hands
with this plug-in, lots of fun.

The video was made using Cyberlink's Power Director with some poignant photographs I selected for the purpose of the song.

Anyhow, I hope I do the song some justice, as It is one of
my favourite GM songs.

  • Hello james,

    Sounds good man .Are there more songs of michael that you´re gonna sing in the near future? Good work!

  • @jan0de0vries Yes. I am currently working on a George Michael Tribute show, so the promo videos will be up around Feb/March.

    I like your demos you've made

  • James it's Richie! How many more times can I tell you how much I appreciate you, your talent and your music! You are the best singer I have had the pleasure to listen to on MySpace and I can see that you have made quite a name for yourself here on You Tube! I If anyone can make it in this business I know that you can!

  • Richie, thank you for your positive vibes as always. And that goes to everyone else who commented here and taken the time & effort to leave a Ray of Sunshine for me. Thanks to All. James

  • I love this....I really do. Your voice does it such justice....more live shots of you in the vids please, makes it more believable.. :) 5*****

  • nice work man!!! very nice voice!

  • Maybe, we should all start to think about "praying for more time". In six hours i will go to my law firm, and there, yes... money, money. I give a fuck on this! Humanity dies. Money and achievement rules... Wrong world.

    Thanks for the song from Germany.

  • Hey James I Have Some Songs That I Think Suite Georges Taste Of Music Do U Mind Covering Them For Me?

  • is your name George ???

  • Hi James, very nice. I believe that you did indeed do this song justice. Enjoyed your video. Thanks, Ray

  • nice tone to your voice....need a pop filter near the begining :) Great song!!
