| 01-Melina S Troubles by Alicia Keys |
Melina..great song to chose. Your voice is so unique. It almost sounds like an angelic chant. Your vocals braid into the chords very well. You make this song enchanting. It sounds much like the original, yet I like your touch and sound better. It's bluesy and jazzy. This song makes me want to hold someone close and slow dance...Thanks Melina, I really loved this song. |
| 03-Markus Lullaby by Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan |
Great song to do. It is extremely
comforting and soothing to me because I have a restless heart most of
the time. You calmed me down. It reminds me of a child-like prayer. A
beautiful lullaby. Your vocals and all around sound is tasteful. Thanks for bringing me some peace of mind. Great job on this cover song. Heartmusic rules! |
| 04-James I Can't Get Next to You By The Temptations |
Hey James, I dig the beat you got going here. You make me want to move! My sound is so tranquil, it is good to listen to your sound because it is up beat and groovy! Your guitar work is great. Some of the high licks on the guitar lead reminds me of Vanilla Fudge's song..."Keep Me Hanging On". Super song you have chosen. Your voice compliments the song as well. Thanks for sharing. I love the beat.. |
| 05-Iggy Deramer by The Beatles |
Well I have listened to this song
a couple of times now. I really dig it. I remember going to see Black
Sabbath in 1969 twice, but I don't remember a thing I heard..lol. I have stayed away from Ozzy, I don't know why, but this song is a great song. I am a dreamer too. Your piano work is excellent as well as the vocals..real dreamy the way, I like it..Heartmusic for sure! The general sound of this song reminds me of the Beatles, John Lennon. The harmonies are dreamy too. The song has a very thick sound as well. Great job. |
| 06-Solpig Buona Sera by Louis Prima |
Solpig..your voice is awesome
and very unique. This is a great little ballad you have chosen. It is
a very personal lullaby and every note on the guitar is pleasing to me.
You told a little love story and it was short and sweet and moody. Excellent
delivery of this song... "Kiss me goodnight!":-) Your vocals totally rule. Thanks for sharing the sounds of your heart. |
| 07-Kris S Wonderwall by Oasis |
Kris S. did you know that George
Harrison did a song called "Wonderwall"? The album was called Wonderwall too. Well the two are not even close. I like the Oasis song very much. Your guitar is very strong and has a lot of depth with great chords. Your voice is awesome too. Wow, what a super song! I must get out of "MY ROOM" more and listen to different types of songs. I get stuck in Nancyville..It is moody there. lol. "Maybe your gonna be the one who saves me" I like that line. Your have great dynamics as well. Thanks for touching my heart with your sound. |
| 08-Tim W Nowhere man by The Beatles |
I love the start of your song.
You all seem so happy. You have a natural high, don't you? Well to listen
to any Beatle song is a blessing. I love No Where Man..cuz I am a No Where Girl sitting in my no where world..making all my no where plans for nobody. :-) The vocals and harmonies are super. You hit the target. The guitar is so much like the one from the original Beatle song. I love a great guitar presentation. You all have a great delivery as well.. Totally loved it. Thanks for picking me up today with your song. I have always loved your songs you have introduced to us at the forum. Thanks for sharing the sounds of your heart. *Tim..your review on my song made me cry. Yes "My Room" is a porthole to a peaceful place as I travel down my road with my songs and my guitar. My secret passions are visible through the window of my world "In My Room" Blessings to you! |
| 09-Nigel Happier Than the Morning Sun by Stevie Wonder |
Nigel, I like your name. :-) First
of all, I love Stevie Wonder. I haven't listened to his music lately so
this song really blessed me. You have such a tender touch with this song.
Your voice is excellent. The guitar playing is great. I'd like to pick
guitars with you some time..maybe when we start up the JLSC Band! lol. Stevie Wonder has always had a golden touch with his music. You took me there folk style the way I like it. I was even singing harmonies with you as I listened. Thanks for sharing your sound with me... |
| 10-EED (Emily) Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison |
Great song to chose Emily..EED.
I have never listened to Poison before, so thanks for introducing me to
that group. You have such a nice touch with your vocals. You remind me a little of Nanci Griffith. I would like to play an octave mandolin with you on this song. I played along as I listened to your beautiful song.:-). I love heart music that is why I love your song here. Great job! |
| 11-David T Day Tripper by John Lennon & Paul McCartney |
Very cool arrangement Mr Tallent. I love the
beat you put into all of your songs. You got the beat, baby! This is a
great cruising song. I like the aspects of this song as an intrumental. I dreamed I was at a psychedelic skating rink and I was skating to your song...crazy me. Could you hear me singing along? This song would be a great soundtrack for a dance routine or a musical. David, for sure you are a "Day Tripper"..thanks, I loved this song! |
| 12-Dave C Autumn Leaves by Joseph Kosma & Jacques Prévert |
This song took me back. It is very retroflective.
My mom is 85 and she would play this song on the piano. I loved to hear
her fingers play the keys and make falling leaves sounds. This is a very tasteful selection you have chosen. Your guitar sound is just wonderfully embracing to me. You left me dreaming in an "Autumn Leaves" world...thanks..great job on this song. |
| 13-Hoaby Just A Little by The Beau Brummels |
Hoaby how did you know I love
the Beau Brummels? This song is great. It brings back so many endearing
moments of my life from about 1968. I think that is when the song was
popular. You have a great beat going in this song. Your voice is perfect for this song as well. You make me want to listen to other great old bands like the Animals, Kinks and the Zombies. You did a wonderful job on this song. Thanks for making me smile today. "Retroflective am I. Into my memories I do fly...come fly with
me". "firefly" Blessings to you! |
14-Todd Joker by Steve Miller |
I enjoyed this cover song very much Todd. I love Steve Miller. I have been lucky enough to see him perform many times. Your version is very dreamy and pleasing. It is mellow and new! Your voice and the harmonies are perfectly enchanting. The guitar is great. I like the laid back approach to the song you took. You had a great song to work with. The lyrics are so cool..."Really love your peaches..want to shake your tree"...lol - a great line! My favorite S.Miller song is "Quick Silver Girl"..when he was with Quick Silver Messenger Service..also "I Love You" from the "Number 5" cd... Well, you totally did a great job on this cover song. Thanks for taking the time...It made me happy to listen to it.. I think I will listen again. :-) | 15-Meikow You Won't See Me by The Beatles |
This is a great choice! You put some good energy into this song. I love the vocals. The guitar is perfect. This song takes me back, way back to the 60's when life was so easy when I was young. This is an excellent piece of work. Thanks for sharing! | 16-Hazelglow Dreams of Fast Cars by an amalgam of Tracy Chapman & Gabrielle |
Well, this song covers two things I love... dreaming and then fast cars... Preferably a 1931 Flat Black Ford "little deuce coupe" Yeah! Haze, it is so nice to hear your vocals in this song. Your melody is perfectly dreamy. You always turn out something wonderful in these little intra forum contests or showcases... I wish we all lived closer so we could sit by a fire and on a chilly starry night and all play music together face to face..heart to heart! Thanks for sharing this song with us , I loved it! |
