This Message ~ Krabbers cover

Please use HQ as the sound quality is far better.

OK, I know it has already been done (and better) but I had to cover this song by Krabbers.

As many of you will know, Krabbers is one of the most talented and original songwriters on Youtube - and not just in the ukulele arena. As soon as I heard this song it resonated with me for some very personal reasons but also as a music and song lover. The mark of a really great song is that it sticks with you after the first listening and that it moves you in one way or another. Again, for very personal reasons, this song moves me and I find it difficult to sing without falling prey to its emotional mantraps. This was the eigth take and I made it to the end - JUST.

Beautiful mate! Always enjoy seeing you sing. Listening... er.... watching... hearing... Listening to you sing. You never disappoint.

[casetone2514]

@idrnoel Thanks very much - That listening/watching thing is a tripwire isn't it?

[Terrorbyt3]

Great cover, man. Just about as good as the original. I can feel the emotion in your voice. I'll be adding my cover soon.

[casetone2514]

Thanks very much - look forward to your version.

[MrUnidyne]

This song moves me to tears as well. Thanks for posting this.

[casetone2514]

Thanks - Krabbers hit the spot with this one.

[casetone2514]

Thanks Ruth.

I'm a big softie really.

Crying along with you there Tone, bless you X Really touching X

[casetone2514]

Thanks - my uke is rarely in tune as I tune it by ear and, despite having big ears, they are remarkably inaccurate - Krabbers' original video has the lyrics and chords in the sidebar - do a vid and post it. That'd be great.

How is your Uke tuned. down 1/2?

Sounds nice, but I can't play along with you yet :)
