when remco does doe maar in het engels

[mystahr]

First time I heard it I thought eeeeeeeeeeeek for hearing a tune that is embedded in the mind in a different language and by one of my fave singers.

The music so very much has that certain remco style too and is very much spot on; while bringing in a totally modern sound. that arpegiating synth in the back is great.

Having had multiple listens now, theres a few parts in the song that I love; the jazzy pa-pa solo is just a great moment for one, but the sturdy papa voice I really feel should have a different voice as the energy of the original gets totally lost there imo.
Sometimes I also thought that the translation at times didn't flow so rhythmicaly within the whole, yet theres also parts where it just flows into the tune.

Uhm, a lot of contradictions and some thoughts..

I'd love to hear this in Dutch as well

meer kijk ik er nog naar uit om snel samen in een studio aan de gang te gaan

A lot of Dutch on KvR.
Emerald Tablet, you´ve got balls ! (for the people who don´t know "Doe Maar") The band Doe Maar were maybe more popular in Holland than the Beatles before ! They were a bunch of great musicians, composers, singers with a huge podium experience (rel. older chaps). They stopped when they had lots of succes because of the madness of it...
So doing a cover of something of that size is riski.
I´d work more on the lyrics, to get them as fluid as they were in Dutch (ex. daddy instead of papa). The accent may need some attention too I think (an english speaking friend, or better a girl friend might do wonders to help you out). Good production !
I´m sorry if I sound a bit severe, but I think you´re worth it. Don´t stop, go on, you´ve got it in you !
In al de jaren (38) dat ik muziek maak, heb ik het zelf nog niet aangedurft een cover van m´n idool (Jimi Hendrix) te maken (ik doe eigenlijk nooit covers). ´k Zal er toch eens aan moeten beginnen, voor jullie me voor een schijtlaars houden
So Remco I should say : "Doe Maar"... .. .

yipeeeeyeah

thathathatha

its a good feeling to know even a simple finger exercise is being appreciated and valued @ kvr !!

Yup DOE MAAR - I had all these fancy buttons on my grubby nail jacket with an even bigger textile of KISS stitched to the back my fav Doe Maar song was "Nachtzuster" sang it every time a friend of mine who had been in a dick operation (something to do with his dick being a curl cord or a deformed banana or so) came around .... we gave him a stack of hustlers when he was recovering from the operation ! Hey poepe ...why not do a Hendrix cover ! just don't do the obvious ones that have been done a million times ! I mean little wing is brilliant but done to many times as has Purple Haze. Covering Hendrix is not only a mater of being a kick arse guitar player ! I mean I for one would like to hear a Hendrix cover on a carillon or by a symphonic orchestra or just on a kazoo Schijtlaars thanks for listening and for all the constructive critic Myst .... just a few nights rest untill we jam (read push a few faders and press some keys and act like were kick arse producers)

btw ... did you see the movie Equilibrium ? bad acting of a wrong cast with bad decor and a bad film score - but a very nice storyline
how do people manage to work for a week or even longer on a song anyway .... i skip songs after hearing them for longer than 50 seconds

No a lot of people have asked me if I've seen that film. I just like the word really. I like the idea of you timing your recording in between trains, give your voice an element of tension.
