- This is one of my all time favorite 80s songs, Howard Jones himself used a juno 60 along with a dx7 for bass and other sounds, and luckily my tx81z has most of the infamous presets. This project was quite dense but fun to do! All juno and moog sounds are custom.
Almost as good as Howard! Excellent job... You should be pride of this.
Wow, good job dude, playing the music of my teens. Nice to see cool music appreciated by the young. Lets hear some Depeche Mode, The Cure, Ultravox, Communards...
SpaceGh0st I do have a depeche song I’ve noodled around with but don’t have the full thing done. Maybe I’ll upload a tutorial soon.
A far better cover than the number of views suggests. Very well done.
Great version. I remember when this song came out. I believe I was like...8. Lol im 45 now. This was one of my first favorite songs ever.
You smashed that cover mate. Well done. I'm so impressed. I'm sure HoJo would be pleased with that one. Cheers.
Thanks for the great comment, would be cool if he heard it!
This is dope! Cool to see the next generation rocking the 80s classics!
Howard would be proud. Excellent composition and vocal.
Great job...! Such a young guy...! The future is yours dude...! Go and grab it...!
Amazing cover!
Howard Jones is my favourite artist of all time, and I have to say I loved this. Amazing job ❤️
The chords in the chorus are majestic!
Those Juno 60 are always so fat and warm. Holy smokes!
you deserve at least 100000x views that you currently have man, great job.
Brilliant version 👏
Always loved those dreamy synth strings from the J60. Magnificent man. Vocals are out of this world.!
Jay Keel The J-60 was actually my first keyboard many years ago. I’ll never forget the first time I played and the first preset in line was a string patch. That was the moment the synth addiction began haha.
Ronnie Augeri Nice! Hey, Are you running that j60 through any special converters? It sounds so crisp and full! (Not like I remember mine sounding).
Outstanding!!! You absolutely nailed it! 🏆
Amazing and Perfect, synth, drums Singing and Everything!
Very well done!!! You got the arrangement down, the synth patches were perfect, the vocals spot-on, the mixing great! Looking forward to more!
You nailed it!
That cut from 82 was dead on!!
Que hermoso vídeo y canción, cuanto talento tienes Ronnie Augeri y tu voz hermosa y es la música que Amo!! los maravillosos 80s 😻🎼❤🎼😻Saludos y bendiciones desde Georgia USA🙏❤
Wow this is a really great track
HoJo is the reason I became a synth player back in the early 1980s. Good job
Nice YT recc 👍🏼💫 Absolutely wonderful to see the much younger generations continue to give tribute to those who came before them (even several decades prior). Well done!!! ☮️❤️💫
Baby don’t hu-
Wait... wrong song.
The vocals sound perfect dude, love the effects
Nightwalk haha maybe that one will come soon. Thanks!! I tried to match the era as best I could.
Wow! I really love this song since Howard Jones fist released it in the 80s. Your version just gave it a fresh new boost of live! Great vocals, too - you are really amazing! ⭐⭐⭐
Very good 👍
Absolutely love it. Sounds heavenly. You’re a star. Deffos would have you singing at my wedding or something 😂
So nice to see the younger generation discovering these great hits. Great cover. ❤🎉💥🎊💥🎉❤
Just stumbled on this looking for Juno 60 related material. Don't know why but I wasn't expecting it to be this good! Well played, sung and produced. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Subscribed; keep them coming!
One word for this... Awesome!
Wow incredible job
The bridge part is fantastic!
Wow! What a wonderful cover song!
It's full of your love for Howard Jones!
Great job!!Cheers!
Great interpretation of this beautiful theme. Excellent and spectacular to play those instruments. What a genius 😉😊❤
Are you for real??? this was more than terrific..you made my day..big big big fan of howard jones..i was listening to the cover, never thought you're gonna sing as well...but you did it ..you sound perfect..
Louis Tannoury thank you for the nice comment, it’s one of my favorite 80s songs. I actually wrote to Howard and sent it to him, and a few weeks later he responded. Super nice and down to earth guy, still has his juno 60.
Wow! Great cover dude! Your passion really comes through. Howard would definitely approve 👌
Very good version 😀
Nice, very carefully put together. Great attention to detail and authenticity. People don't realise the amount of time it takes to put together a track like this...just recreating the individual sounds so that they sound like the original synths and drum machines.. plus actually playing it, mixing it, mastering it. And then actually recording and editing the video. Keep up the good work.
Of course, if you want to make any money you'll have to write your own stuff.
Excellent dude!!!
you are truly amazing, you just made a cover of my no1 80's love song. seriously.
WOW what talent you have and an eighties song too. AWESOME THANKS 👍👍😎
Love it and love the synths !!
The intro pad sounds almost like the one on Thriller. As simple as such sounds are, they will always sound good.
The DX7 bass also sounds good, so smooth and deep.
That’s amazing!! What a sound!!
Loved this
Very nice!
Wow im suprised! Really awesome cover, must have taken a lot of work
Wow!! Absolutely excellent!!
Still after all these years Howard is good but you da man
Nailed it!!
Great, now write your own. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yay ! This song is one of my favourites too ! It feels so great to have found you because there is someone in the other side that is enjoying and making music of my like so I don't feel alone anymore ! It seems that most of my friends prefer nowadays well-marketed music, and I don't have words to describe the magic and science in 70s-80s diversity of sounds and the work behind it to them... And you did it so well! Wish you the best of the best and keep going ! Take care.
Sorry if I made mistakes, my english is basic.
Thank you for such a great comment, there really is something special about 80s music and the instruments used to create it. Your English is pretty good too! -Ron
@@RonnieAugeri Oh thank you for replying! There are some songs from 80s I'm really immersed on, like Equality and Joy(not an 80 song but oh god it sounds sooo great) from Howard Jones, and bounce right back are so funny for playing. Hide and seek and Even if I don't say are by far my favourites too with What Is Love ? and Things can only get better😜. I must say I do play by ear with one hand but I don't know in which note I am , so I played all of them by heart (?) Hahaaaa 😅 sorry... One day I would love to learn at least by tutorials here in youtube, anyway, I really had and still having so much fun with playing my old keyboard like my way 😄 Some of the songs I enjoy so much playing are :
- STARCHILD, 43 , Almost there, Turn it On from level 42 , basically all level 42 he hee. ..
- You're driving me out of my mind , it's a long way there : Little River Band
- Highly Strung, With the Pride, Gold : Spandau Ballet
- Evil Woman , Hold On Tight : ELO
- Couldn't get it right : Climax Blues Band ( a 76 song) to mention another 70s song It's a shame. Oooh and Big fun from Kool & the gang, got obsessed with this one , with Equality , Human from The Human League and Starchild from level 42 😄
The One you love (Glenn Frey) and Tell me what you dream ( Timothy Schmit) are some sad stuff I love.
All Johnny Hates Jazz songs are for any time. I am so excited there will be a new album from them by the next year 😄
I have many more songs on my mind , and I'm discovering even more... so yeah, that's actually a hobby, a pleasant one! 😉 I became into the conclusion that I prefer listening the whole album in order to get the idea of the artist. and not just picking a song and so on, except for an awesome playlist 😆 Take it as a humble recommendation ...
And finally, Ron, keep going !! I appreciate your content and would like to listen more from you!
Gretings from Peru !
xx , Maribel.
Grand !!! (Extraordinary Talent)
I enjoyed just as much as the original Ronnie if not better! Well done you made my day. Look forward to hear more tracks from you.
Well done, sounds excellent. Thumbs up.
You've got a simular voice as HJ, wow.
That was awesome! You deserve so many more subs.
You're a great artist! This sounds great!
What a legend
Incredible ! 👏🏼 Bravo
Perfect! Well done!
Good Job, great singing.
Great performance!
Excellent - well done
WOW!!! I'm impressed 👍👍👍
Wow!!!
What a great job!
I wish I knew your channel before.
Keep up with the good work.
Im a massive HoJo fan and the reason I got into synths back in 1983. This is an impressive cover, the Juno just has that pro warm sound unraveled today, unless you own a Jupiter 8. Whilst I’m a bit late to this post, I would love to hear you cover Equality. I play this all h time using a D50 for lead and an Access Virus TI2 for pad, maybe I should switch the two around 🤔
Another great job!! Wow!
You're amazing.
This is just precious. Go 'head little dude!
After watching the entire video, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this!
Killed it son
Fantastic job on this!
Excellent !! Εξαιρετικό ! Thank you ! Σε ευχαριστούμε 🇬🇷🇺🇸

Amazing! Simply Amazing! Keep up the good work!

Wow incredible!!!
Excellent cover
Dude great job. Its a fantastic song
Wow, this should have at least 100000 Views. Singing is great too.
Brilliant my friend x
Wow, you are very talented. I have to check out your other videos.
אחי, יופי של ביצוע פגז🏆💯👍🏅❤️🎹
brilliant ... no idea why you just have 8,000 views and only 934 Subscribers.. brilliant cover . not perfect but as perfect as anyone could get. The singing was also excellent
Why doesn't this channel have more subs? This is some amazing, playing, mixing and production! I gotta' say, I can't remember the last time I found a music channel that really excites me! I'm glad I'm not the only one doing this stuff, and I'm also very pleased to see that you also programmed your own synth patches; it seems that most people don't know how to do that! I am happy to have subscribed to you!
Adam Borseti unfortunately most of us millennials don’t appreciate good music XD it took me a few years to become decent at mixing and mastering but I’ve been trying to get the authentic 80s sound with software (although I have an old lexicon effects unit now). I’m very nerdy so most of the fun for me is programming the synths and effects units haha. Thanks again for stopping by and subscribing!
Man! You and I are on the same page! How much was the Lexicon? Is it one of the originals?
Adam Borseti nothing fancy, it’s a lexicon lxp 15 from 89 or 90 I think. It’s got lots of classic 80s presets great for vocals and keys, has that classic sound, but is very affordable. Also has midi sync although I haven’t played with it yet.
Adam Borseti I got mine through doing work for a neighbor but they go around $150 on eBay
Hey, you seem to used the Oberheim DMX on this cover... the original was recorded with a Drumulator, but that fine too... and even better the way you did ! I like it, good cover and gorgeous "JP-8 style" brass !
Very good work, I liked very much.
Brilliant!
totally nailed it!
Damn. This is surprisingly close to the original. Great job.
Good job bud
blown away by how well you got this
Excellent
Excellent !
