Famous Last Words (Tears for Fears Cover)

This is a cover of Tears for Fears' final song on the epic 'Seeds of Love' album. It is a very beautiful and touching song. I just try to play Roland's vocal parts and other bass lines in the song on my bass. I figured to play everything on my own so there could be some likely drawbacks.

This track is dedicated to Curt Smith on the occasion of his birthday, today!

Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I like how you played this very delicate tune very much. To be more specific, at 3:00 you start to put a momentum into your rendition by not looking at your bass guitar and caring less about picking the right strings (although, you're playing very accurately). Well, I am a total layman. So my view might be off the point. I'm very sorry. I just wanted to say that the torrential flow of sound you weave out from 3:00 to 3:45 is very fabulous. Thank you.

@bunarbashi- Thank-you very much for your comments. Much appreciated!

You are right when you remark that I don't care about picking the right strings. I wanted to bring a certain feeling in the best way possible. I have limitations because I am very much ignorant about the various techniques of bass playing. But I am of the opinion that it should not stop me from attempting to play what I like.

I think you did a great job on one of TFF's and Roland's most beautiful songs. I would say a leetle bit out of time, but I'm not going to judge because I can't play at all! :)

Nice work. :)

[ajittffcure]

Thank-you, Melissa. Yes, you are right about the timing.

Take it easy met! I hope u could improove your tec as soon as possible but you have to study really hard compà!!! In the meanwhile, leave your hand.

[ajittffcure]

Agreed. You are absolutely right. But why did it take you 7 months to reply to my initial question? Hope I get a reply to this question at least in another 7 years time.

Sorry met but you r out of tune, out of time, out of all.. there's no one note right in what u play, understand what i mean?! The bass lines of Curt smith seems simple to play but in despite they 're hard in a way. At first you should improove in a right and left hands technique and than u can try again to play TFF. At the moment u can't play the bass bro'. Fall p'ammor ra maronn.

Thank-you very much! You don't know how much your comment made me feel happy that day. It brightened up an otherwise dull day. Wish you all the best in life!
