A little muffled sounding but interesting.

Wow. One I've never heard before. Thanks, Joveski!
|
Muffled yes, but never thought Id hear Gord do that one. Just him and the guitar, sounded almost as if that could be one of his song. Very good Joveski, Thank's for sharing.

Thanks! fascinating.
|
Interesting! Thanks, Joveski. Nice to hear just Gord and the guitar. Can anyone dicipher what he is saying when not singing?
|
Interesting. You dug up a good one, joveski.
It really does sound like it could have been one of his own songs, he sings it so well. I wish it were better quality recording, but still very nice! |
I was intending to start a new topic
provisionally entitled "This Is Your Song Diana" but was unsure if , despite the Gord connections , I could dare to post it on the general Discussion Forum then luckily I remembered this old topic, and although Mende's upload link has expired, those of you who have heard Gord's version may recall that the sound quality was not just "muffled" but truly disgusting! I thought of this topic after watching on Sunday evening NBC television's one hour highlights version of Sundays 6 hour Princes UK "Concert For Diana" from the newly reopened and rebuilt Wembley Stadium, http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/...al_440x293.jpg and which Sir Elton John opened with a very heartfelt rendition of his very first hit "Your Song" of which I see at least three people have already uploaded videos for example Elton John - Your Song live at Concert For Diana July 1 2007 Live in London, England on July 1 2007 4:05 alternatively:- In addition and to tie in with the recent flurry of comparisons of Gord's "old" and present voices in fact if you search on youtube for "Elton John Your Song " you will get a staggering 923 results, including of course many amateur covers etc and others clearly showing how Elton's voice has also changed over the decades For example there is a black and white 'Your Song" from 1970 at:- and one in colour and also from 1970 which I clearly recall seeing live as my first glimpse of this about to become megastar:- Possibly the most interesting and relevant is a splendid and clever composite video made by splicing together at least a dozen clips from a selection of video performances of Your Song with Elton in varied costume and voice which the compiler aptly describes as:- "A beautiful video of multiple performances of "Your Song" merged into one showing the various shapes, and sizes of Elton John" watch out for his "quack"!! 4:23 the colour 1970 video is one of my all time favourite music videos my very favourite fluctuates between the great Lionel Richie "Hello" video see:- 5:27 "One of the greatest love songs of all time. The video is a little fraky though but it's nice to see a music video that actually has something to do with the song." and a lovely cover of Bryan Adams 1985 hit that became an international number one in 2002 this is usually referred to by its full title of "D.J. Sammy with Yanou featuring Do-Heaven" where "do" is the abbreviated (stage) name of a young Dutch girl Dominique van Hulst http://www.youtube.com/v/VF_gH2BWNjc whilst trying to find that video I found this one Princess Diana Tribute with a montage of pictures on the same version of Heaven which brings us nicely full cycle and tears to my eyes just remembering the tragic events of 10 years ago at the end of next month. At that time I just might be able to watch one of my late mother's VHS tapes http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/images/diana.jpg and possibly even the tape I made during that funeral when of course Elton so memorably sang the modified version of "Candle in the Wind" (which he had said he would never sing again and apparently did not do on Sunday, as the Sunday Concert.. see another GL relevancy!! was supposed to be a celebration of her life not death) just one of 15 videos on youtube of:- Goodbye English Rose at her funeral others being Enjoy!!

I can only suggest Dear char that you try again because for me at least Mende's link correctly surprise surprise opens the page:-
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jdal5f on which I read reassuringly This is the download page for: Name: gl-yoursong.mp3 Size: 2MB The download link is located below. scrolling down seemed the obvious thing to do where I was then delighted to read that link which for me clearly said Download Link: gl-yoursong.mp3 plus this in a red box The download link has been updated (error: #10). You may now download the file and it is in fact a hyperlink to:- http://fs05n4.sendspace.com/dl/ffae5...l-yoursong.mp3 so right clicking on it and then "save target as" works for me and I have now redownloaded the requisite file and it took aboot 20 minutes total on the stoopidly lethargic dial-up:- http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot/your_song.jpg gl-yoursong.mp3 2.24 MB JOhn Fowles Bt |

I also have dial-up, and it worked fine. I just clicked on joveski's updated link....scrolled down to a pulsating red arrow pointing to the song....clicked on the link....LEFT clicked on "save".....picked a destination for the file....and began waiting (due to dial-up).
P.S. there was no error message associated with the link. [ July 05, 2007, 17:09: Message edited by: RM ] |
