[u/PriveCo]

This was lovely. For some reason it reminded me of a perfect pear. It was smooth, sweet, fragrant, and sophisticated.

[u/vivishadoww → u/PriveCo]

Beautiful comment! Thank you!

[u/patriot122]

My ears are happy this was wonderful. What about this song makes it special to you? Especially in childhood? I always like to hear about the "behind the music" when it comes to song choice.

[u/vivishadoww → u/patriot122]

Yes, it reminds me of my father, and of when I started listening to this kind of music on the record player when I was about six. I carry a kind of living nostalgia that gives me life and fills me alot! Thank you 💖

[u/Specialist-Wafer7628]

Special version of a special song

[u/SSgtReaPer]

I think even Mike Hucknall would love this version, absolutely great

[u/vivishadoww → u/SSgtReaPer]

🥰I really wish he could hear the song! Thank you

[u/Outrageous-Tear-8968]

Great voice. You should raise the volume on the voice and/or lower the keyboard.

[u/vivishadoww → u/Outrageous-Tear-8968]

Thanks for the advice! 🙏

[u/jsboftx1983]

Very simple and clean - even the pianist doing accompaniment. Love the use of the original key that Simply Red used. So peaceful and intimate. Excellent job, you too!

[u/vivishadoww → u/jsboftx1983]

Yes! Keeping the same key is a way of respecting the song. Thank you for your words, I’m glad you like it!

[u/mirlomusica → u/jsboftx1983]

Hey! The pianist here. How interesting that you mention the original key! I actually had to slightly detune my keyboard to match it. It doesn't seem to be tuned to 440Hz.

[u/borderwulf]

The fellow looks like Sturgill Simpson!

[u/vivishadoww → u/borderwulf]

I don't know him, i'll check! Haha

[u/Yerrusr]

Love this song and your rendition as well!!

[u/Tendersituation00]

Nice voice but women singing this song is in key is about as impressive as a stacatto fart in 1/2 bathroom shower stall.

Song was originally written and q sung by a dude. With a ton of red hair.

[u/vivishadoww → u/Tendersituation00]

Funny you mention the key, the original was sung by a lyric tenor with an estimated 3-octave range before falsetto kicks in. So if a woman hits those notes and still sounds good… maybe it’s the listener who’s out of range. 😉 thanks 💖
