Strangely this ain't bad, the chick has a beautiful voice.
|
Willie Nelson and Sinead O'Connor do Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up", from 1993. I had never heard this version before, and it's just fine.
|
I love both their voices. I would never think to put those two voices together, but it's good.
|
That got the song in my head and I went over to the original Peter Gabriel version on YouTube to have a listen.
There are over 10,000 comments on Peter Gabriel's version where people just spill their guts about how his song literally saved their lives and got them through their pain and grief. That kind of blew me away. Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush have probably saved thousands of lives just by singing. |
Wow. That's a pretty amazing thing.
|
Thank you, Undertoad. Wow!

This is kind of stuck in my head.
and my heart. I did send it to Twil, as a love song. .... .... Not sure if that was a good idea. |
That dude has a great voice.
Blursed message. |
I'd wager that some institution somewhere is looking for that fella.
Voice is not bad. Song is not bad. 6/10 - Would smoke with. |

I like the way Springsteen presents this song now...
|
She plays pretty well, I should think she could make enough to buy some pants.
Just kidding, she probably paid three times as much as she would have for an unripped pair. |

Nice, old-school groove here.
Want to know who the musicians are? Apparently, who ƒucking cares?? Look at these credits from one of his albums, from Wikipedia. Like, who plays the DRUMS? you know? the GUITAR? etc.? |
hmmm... maybe just assembled samples? I watched Yesterday last night, their view of the LA music scene lines up with these credits. Whatever happened to our insider?
|
Man, it wore me out watching this guy:
|
"Hounds of Love" -- Kate Bush's idea of being foxhunted by love, being frightened, a coward, but in the end giving in to it, is magical.
In the middle of being frightened of love, she finds a fox being hunted, embraces it, feels its fear; and realizes she has the same fright, but it's of "nothing real" and she feels embarrassed by being a coward about love. Her chords go major, the chirping violins change, and she loudly and confidently announces "So here I go/Don't let me go/Hold me down/It's coming for me through the trees". At that point, she and her lover are actually facing the cowardice of love together. "Take my shoes off and throw them in the lake", she sings -- to avoid giving her scent to the hounds -- but by the end, it switches to "take YOUR shoes off." But today, 35 years since the original, I feel like the song is overproduced. Here's a version by Lancaster, PA's own Beth Sorrentino which emphasizes the lyrics and chord changes. |
John's on a ventilator. :sniff:
|
Yeah but he's almost as old as I am, one of the expendables for the economy.
|
Have you heard their latest?
No, but someone told me it is good, how's the bass line go? Bass line? The guitar plays the music, the bass just goes boom boom boom like the drums. Iszatso? |
:thumb2: Jamerson played that, and all the Motown hits, with one finger.
|
Hot damn! That video is incredible.
I like it when he plays a really low note to describe how low of a valley wouldn't be enough. |
I've watched it at least 20 times, mesmerizing, seeing where he's going to go and hearing him do it adds a whole new dimension. It shows the subtleties your ear may not pick up, especially with everyone playing at volume.
|
Genius. The next chorus around, he reverses the mountain and the valley. And then when he plays the chorus through the outro, he just plays the groove, smoothed out. Such composition!
I noticed that some of the "peaks" are leaning backwards, meaning (I think) he played the peak note ahead of the beat of the surrounding notes. |
And it's perfect for the song. Imagine a more mundane bass part and the song still working. You can't
|
Yes, the bass is the whole song.
Here's another one, in this case just fundamental bass under the vocals: |
I'd still love to see it diagramed, animated.
|
This guy does several wicked acoustic tool covers. Just discovered him today. Win. |
And something I found down that rabbit hole
|
Whitney Houston raised the bar of female vocal performance, leaving a mark on history that can never be erased.
Here are some other amazing performances: as a 22 year-old kid on David Letterman, and here*, taking chances in a raw performance that hits you right in the feelings. *today I learned: the lyrics to All At Once were written by Jefferey "On the Wings of Love" Osborne |
Billy Bragg now and then
|
|
You left out the dash in front of the number.
|
thank you for fixing it for me xoB.
I was posting from my phone in the back yard... not optimal conditions for proofreading my work. I should have checked it though. |
