CHRIS TRAPPER COVER ME: Better Half

Here's a cover for the Chris Trapper Cover Me contest. (check out my other one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gjbi5-K9rk ) I thought that this song, like most Chris Trapper songs, is kind of melancholic yet hopeful. I sort of focused more on the hopeful side of the song and interpreted it this way. I hope you like it! Check out my other videos too if you wish.

Anyone can join this contest! Just go to http://www.christrapper.com/contestrules.html for more details. Hope to see yours online soon!

I just listened to this again... & literally? It gave me goose bumps cuz it's so heartfelt AND so Hip! You also of course had a great song to work with here. Great contest cuz CT's songs really speak to people! But you made this your own, Pow, while maintaining the integrity of the song. I used to do all covers B4 returning to writing, & playing originals. So I deeply respect someone who can make a cover his/her own while still being so true to the original version. It's an art form in itself.

thanks a lot liz! i really does mean a lot to me. :) you are TOO nice for saying all of those things. and i agree, most of the credit really should go to CT for the wonderful music he continues to create, without which all of these other fantastic entries won't even have come to life.

Thanks guys!! I'm still in shock really... i read that page of the website for like 10 minutes before i actually started showing any emotion. i couldn't believe it!! :D

Pow WOW! This SWINGS! I love the groove you infused here.

You have an amazing voice & are a natural talent. I like the guitar voicings, too. OMG & the "trumpet" solo?? YYEEEAAHH, Buddy! Nice use of dynamics, too. This is the 2nd entry I've heard so far... Both gave me goosebumps. Not JUST cuz of great singing, but it's a beautiful thing hearing people who love Chris's songs get this chance to share their heart & soul here. Great job, Pow! And Chris your songs are something really special.
