Vocal impressions: REMs Everybody Hurts as sung by the man of 1000 voices

Had to set aside my medley in progress to lay down one from the heart. There's a lot of people out there who are having a really tough time. This one's dedicated to them. There's an old saying by Winston Churchill that I've always liked: "When you're going through Hell, keep going". Never give up. Never say die. Even in the midst of extreme circumstances, Life is beautiful and miracles will happen if we just keep the faith.
Special thanks to the late, great director, Frank Capra, and to everyone involved in the making of "It's a Wonderful Life". As it says in the movie, Remember, no one is a failure who has friends. If one of yours is in need or in pain, why not reach out your hand and lift their spirits. Imagine how much better the world would be if we all did. God bless you, Stew
PS- I know I hit a few off notes in this one but it was basically because I got a bit choked up, making it difficult to stay in perfect pitch. I hope you'll forgive me for that and be kind before leaving any derogatory comments. Thanks.

michael stipe's voice is one of the most unique and amazing of all time. pretty difficult to impersonate too i imagine lol nice job

[themanof1000voices]

@Paranormalaccnt9 Yeah, quite different from Jim Morrison (and most other singers out there) but I do really enjoy the uniqueness of Michael's voice. I've actually touched on a couple other song bites of REMs on other posts I've done and am thinking of doing a medley of their stuff when time allows. Never seem to have enough of that though... Thanks for the comment!

dude this is pretty spot on!! quality work :)

[themanof1000voices]

@brakey87 Glad you thought so. Not my best REM vocal but with so many people I know hurting, it felt like the right song to do when I posted it. Thanks for listening!

Thanks, Matty. REM is one of my better voices.  Please feel free to check out some of my others here. More new ones ahead!

Sounds good to me!

[themanof1000voices]

Thanks, Pat! I hope we can all get together sometime for another reunion style jam soon. I get down to GC on occasion and any excuse to get together is good enough for me.  I'm also in touch with Luke a lot and he's up for it as well. Keep on rockin'.
