Well thanks for that! I learned how to sing and do harmonies from the Beatles. I can't hide it, and haveBradColeman wrote: I think your voice sounds quite similar to McCartneys.. but maybe' it's just me
learned to embrace it.
@folderol - many thanks!
@ mr me - Surely at some time through the yrs here you've heard me sing; 99% of my stuff is vocal tunes.
Thanks for the listen!

oh, you done that nice Gary... and its really difficult (or, it was) for me to listen to any Beatles cover (or really any Beatles songs) just because i was in a band for a long time with John Lennon's evil twin and it didnt end well, i mean really badly... and i was also in a band that covered that very song in a more alt-country bent... but i digress
uh yeah, sure this song is somewhat easy to learn the chord changes, i'll grant you that, but ii never thought it was particularly easy to sing or do the harmonies and it sounded to me like you were spot on, instrumentation was a bit mmmm i dont know, happier or something? but it suited the song well and didnt really try to copy the original too much. the mix was nice, lots of room for everything it seemed if that makes sense
tl;dr: i liked it, hope it helps you "get back on the horse" you're off to a fine start

I was going to say Lennon since Gary's voice reminded me greatly of the original.BradColeman wrote:I think your voice sounds quite similar to McCartneys.. but maybe' it's just me

I was absolutely mad for this track as a kid and listened to it quite a bit. This is a great rendition of it, I like the addition of the bell/chime in your arrangement, your voice sounds terrific as always... and nicely inflected toward the style of the original. I think the best measure of your success here is that your production made me fall back in love with this song.
Hope '13 brings us more bluedad...

I don't believe I have heard you sing. I would say I've been missing out, this will change.bluedad wrote:Well thanks for that! I learned how to sing and do harmonies from the Beatles.

Well done. I wouldn't dream of putting this up myself as it is so recognisable by so many people. So kudos for the guts to do it and for doing it well.

Thanks Paul; Thanks for the listen and glad you liked it.manytone wrote: Was listening to some old KVR tracks today on random play at work. Heard some vurt, kriminal and donkey tugger. Was hoping one of yours came up.... maybe tomorrow
Thanks a lot, Deb. Sorry to hear of your experience with the evil twin, but glad you got past that.debra1rlo wrote:oh, you done that nice Gary... instrumentation was a bit mmmm i dont know, happier or something? but it suited the song well and didnt really try to copy the original too much. the mix was nice, lots of room for everything it seemed if that makes sense
I chose the tune because of the sparse instrumentation so that indeed, there would be lots of room for everything. Again, thanks!
@ justin - thank you!
I grew up singing Beatle songs, they're by far my biggest influence. To say it's similar to either is a huge compliment to me. The vocal here was recorded early in the morning, hoping to give it a sort of sleepy feelmorelia wrote:I was going to say Lennon since Gary's voice reminded me greatly of the original.BradColeman wrote:I think your voice sounds quite similar to McCartneys.. but maybe' it's just me
that Lennon seemed to have on several tunes.
thanks Poly! The song is quite a gem, short, sweet and simple.polyslax wrote: I think the best measure of your success here is that your production made me fall back in love with this song.
Thank you. To be honest, I expected to either be totally ignored or crucified. Happy that neither has happened, but I've made a fool of myself before and, as a mod I was totally prepared to hit the 'delete thread' button at any moment!Allomerus wrote:Well done.

At first your remark surprised me, because by far most of the stuff I've posted through the yrs has been vocal. however, now that I think about it, posting 1-2 songs a yr, it's easy to miss. That little link down below that says 'bluedad music' is the worlds plainest looking website, but it's got a lot of my tunes on it..though I don't think I've updated it in quite a while. html makes my head ache. Thanks for listening!4damind wrote:Good work Gary!
I had not idea that you can sing
For the next song in this project, I've asked offthewall to join me in a collab on the jagger/bowie cover of 'Dancing in the Streets' and he's graciously accepted.
joking only about the choice of song, but yes I've a song in mind
