Why (Annie Lennox Cover)

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't uploaded anything for a while, unfortunately work has had the better of me for the last few months. This is a cover of a great song from a great artist Annie Lennox. The song comes from the album 'Diva' and I would recommend that this should be part of anyone's music library.

Hope ya enjoy!

Rob :)

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth

Tell me...
Why
Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)

Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out

Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel ?
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel

Rob,

very very cool! Directjinxy sent me the video....I'm glad he did. I love everything about this track...Vocals are clear as are the harmonies, keyboard sounds great & guitar is also good.

How do you do that double video thing?? Perhaps you could add piano or something to my videos in the same way??

[bobajob1981]

hey! thanx for your comment. The double video thing is pretty straight forward with the right video editing software (....don't think windows movie maker will suffice) - I use adobe premiere. Organising the whole thing is a little more tricky. I record all the audio to an independent computer. you have to be careful/organised enough to ensure sure that the appropriate audio files are reunited with the correct footage when you edit the movie. Its good fun to do providing you have the patience!...

[johnnyflipp]

Your amazing bro!

Very good job. I've been an Annie Lennox fan since 1983 and think she has a great voice. I have never heard anyone else try to tackle 'Why'. before. I have waited for someone to do so on American Idol and similar shows but so far none. Just before viewing yours I heard Lara Fabian's and it is pretty good but I like yours better. Good job on a tough song.
