Paradise Lost - Darker Thoughts (Cover)
มุมมอง 2.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
First cover I ever did was a Paradise Lost song (Praise Lamented Shade), so here's another off their latest album Obsidian. Hope I was able to do it justice, that and hide the fact I can't do harsh vocals, but I'll be damned if that's going to stop me from trying! Made for entertainment purposes only.
FEEDER - Miss You (Cover)
มุมมอง 3995 ปีที่แล้ว
Full cover of a personal favourite. Drums are Garageband generated (simply because I can't afford a real drum kit). Any feedback is most welcome, leave a comment if there's a particular song you'd want me to have a crack at. Thanks, and have a nice day!
GERALD DE PALMAS - J'en Rêve Encore (Vocal cover)
มุมมอง 1196 ปีที่แล้ว
Recorded using Garageband. I used to listen to this song all the time when I was young, even though I never really listen to a lot of French music these days. Anyway, love this track! Let me know what you think. Backing track (Pictomusic) purchased from iTunes.
PARADISE LOST - Praise Lamented Shade (Cover)
มุมมอง 2846 ปีที่แล้ว
So I decided to cover one of my all-time favourite songs by Paradise Lost. I've tried my best to do the original justice, let me know what you think (I welcome both good and bad feedback). I do not own this song, no copyright infringement intended. Video will be deleted immediately if I have violated copyright in any way.

    I created at a TH-cam account for the sole reason of telling you that this is my favourite song.....and your version is by far my favourite version of it, including the original. You said in one of your comments below that you were considering doing another mix of it. I hope you do, not because there's anything wrong with this one, but because I would love to hear another version of your work.

      Wow this comment made my day, I really really appreciate the feedback and kind words, so thank you!! At the time of recording, all drums had to be programmed, and I'm pretty sure the bass is a bit off-key in some places, so I do intend to start again from scratch very soon with real drums this time, if anything because I love the original so much. Definitely in my top five PL songs. Again thank you for your kind and encouraging comment 🙏

    holy shit: 90% of the paradise lost covers on youtube are ridiculus, sounding like shit or vocals to laugh about. But this cover is incredible. Almost better than the original. Awesome man, awesome! Can you send me the WAVE file of this track? Is it possible? I am a Die Hard collector by the band and this cover got me really. It is strong, reallly really strong!

    • @jamesleyshon8515
      @jamesleyshon8515 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh wow, thank you so much dude! Listening to this now there's so much I'd go back and change and re-record with better gear, but this feedback really means a lot! I get the feeling I've deleted the file, I'll have a look later but I can try and put a download option on the video if that helps? Thanks again!

      @@jamesleyshon8515 man, this chorus is better than the original. No kidding. I am the craciest die hard collector by the band but this is the perfect cover. A bit quiet, ok but the perfect interpretation of this song. I wish the original chorus would have sounded like yours! Hope to get your wave file of this track and hope to hear more of your PL covers!

  • @rafaellago172
    @rafaellago172 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the clean vocal arrangements make the track even more gothic, which is always welcome. As someone who prefers Nick's cleaner voice to his growls, this was pretty damn cool. Great job, man!

    • @jamesleyshon8515
      @jamesleyshon8515 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That feedback really means a lot Rafael, thank you! Same here with regards to the vocals (it was the 'Faith divides us' era that got me into PL), still wish I was able to do death growls though... Thanks again mate, all the best!
