RE: OpenMic Night Contest Week 4: "Back To Black" [Amy Winehouse Ukulele Cover]
This is amazing. I never realised how awesome a songwriter Amy was before her death.
Your version is just as powerful.
I think this song has a pain to it that we have all felt in love with someone who takes advantage of us - even the most successful people romantically have felt this pain.
That is why this is such a perfect song.
Also one would think that a ukulele would somehow diminish the melancholic tone of the song but it fits just perfectly. I got shivers just listening to you play it and singing. It was so powerful.
Simply beautiful. I hope everyone listens to this.
You are so talented.
@thecryptofiend Wow. I am incredibly humbled by your compliments, and very much feel the same way about Amy's songs. I feel...well, completely and utterly humbled that you felt my version was as powerful. Thank you so much.
Also--when I put the uke to it, I wasn't sure how that would be received, but I liked the contrast of tones and felt that it almost shed a spotlight on the pain in the lyrics.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you again.
Edit: If the promotion was also you, thank you so much. Humbled again.
Yes it was me with the promotion. Totally deserved I just hope it makes a difference.
