- My arrangement and cover of Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode. An unusual song for acoustic guitar but I arranged it as close to the original as possible in fingerstyle.
Dude is pitch perfect, flawless guitar
Right?!
This the best cover I've ever seen of the song, congrats 👏
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that :)
I’ve been playing guitar for quite a while but I’m just starting my journey into finding my voice and blending with playing. This was amazing and really inspirational. Thank you for this
Have patience brother. It takes a while. Some may come quicker than others. Unless you're my best friend... He just doesn't have it. Lol He trys though. Funny thing is most people don't care. They're just excited to hear music.
@@murdock8068 I appreciate it. Messing with songs in different keys is really helping at the moment. It’s crazy how playing something just a half step down or up can help. But yeah, I’m not trying to impress anyone, just love playing music
@@justaname109 You got it bud. Keep on rawkin!
Everyone has a singing voice or middle voice Joe! Just remember that - a choir of everyday normal people singing in unison is a perfect example - on their own they may not be be superstar 8 octave range singers but they have the skill to sing well in their range - every human being has a preset vocal range typically of 3 to 3 1/2 octaves - which is incredible when you think about the fact that across the different pitches - that’s about 40 separate notes a human can “sing” like a thing else it that you want to “Git Gud” at - it requires patience and practice.
When I started playing guitar one of my favorite players was Robbie Krieger of the Doors - I also really liked Jim’s singing or crooning and so I tried to emulate his style of singing along with Jonny Cash, Paul Banks of Interpol - and man that just was not my RANGE! Haha I could never sing with real volume because it wasn’t my singing voice range - then I said “well I just can’t sing” and years later I really got into Radiohead, My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes Roy Orbison and realized I had more of a tenor range even falsetto and man wow, it totally changed my perception on singing. I found I could sing with crazyyy volume almost effortlessly in the style of those guys - and as I learned more about it I began understand how i could even just change the key of a song that really wasn’t in my range to find my sweet spot.
A lot of info / but reading your comment I was inspired to give you some positive feedback - everyone may not be a “superstar” singer but make no mistake, everyone has a singing voice just like they have a speaking voice. Good luck!
@@mattengland653 genuinely appreciate that reply! Thank you
Okay well you're just amazing. Absolutely beautiful rendition.
The more of your videos I watched I realize how much musical taste we share. Your great man. Keep it going
Cool to know! Thanks, man :)
Singing is perfect. Really incredible. Whisper in key. Very nice job.
Dude, I just stumbled upon your version of Down in a Hole and I thought it was great... And then, this!! This is so nicely done. It really captures the vibe of the song... Amazing! 🤘
same here! beautiful voice and fingerstyle, so happy you're sharing with us all! :)
Same lol
i had the same response - saw Down in a Hole then this - dude's incredible. unrecognized talent.
first Down in a hole....led me here to this one. You get a sub my guy.
Same. Hope youtube is good to this guy.
His voice pierces my soul.....
Mr.River, more and more i like your covers, and in my opinion, they no more are a cover but a rebuild in your hands, the fingerstyle with your voice is a dream marriage, so smooth and clean, never though i would like to see depeche mode in a acoustic version, and you did it, better then the studio version
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I appreciate it!
Very nice. I used to watch the video on MTV when I was staying at my Grandmas as a kid in the late 80s. This song has stood the test of time and you gave it a nice touch.
Dude, your voice and your Look while singing, is all i wanted!
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)
I found my way to your channel yesterday when one of your Alice in Chains covers came up in my feed, and I was blown away. Loving the mix of covers and originals! Your playing and voice would lend themselves well to covering Amigo the Devil, especially songs like Buried in Another Man's Grave or Cocaine and Abel!
Thank you for the suggestions! Cheers.
@@rivercrombie It does look like the TH-cam algorithm brought your stuff to the forefront just a few weeks back. Whatever you did, worked. I just spent the afternoon listening to your music and this is the last video of all the playlists. What a cool ride. When I learn how to capture a decent sound and learn how to upload, and shed a hefty amount of fear, I'll follow your lead and post. Thanks for your inspiration. 🤠
Fantastic rendition of a great song - Kudos! Realise it’s a big ask but any chance of putting out a tab for this?
Very beautiful. Meditative
Nice played, and what a voice😮 ! Very Nice!! Thank you 🙏
Thank you! Much appreciated :)
I didnt know Keanu Reeves was such a talented musician!
In all seriousness, well done 👏
Everything works well: the guitare, the voice, the sound, it's perfect! Good cover!
Man, you are awesome. Great cover, greetings from Brazil!
Your talent is inspirational! Can’t wait to hear more!
This is really great!! I'd love a tutorial!! Way to knock it out of the park River!!
Really amazing dude! Nice version and beautiful voice! Congratz! Brazilian fan here xD
Like others in the comments, I came for Down in a Hole, but I'm staying for all the other covers that are so incredible. I hope you'll continue posting and blessing us with your music!
Thank you for checking out the other videos! Down in a Hole seems to be reaching a lot of people. That really surprised me! Cheers.
Violator is an all-time great album. this is an all-time great cover.
Thank you! 🙏
Well played sir. Thank you!
Fantastic acoustic cover of this classic, River. Awesome!

Thanks! I appreciate the comment!
Crazy good. Not a massive Depeche Mode fan...In HS some girl wrote me a letter telling me how much she liked me, but her parents were strict (Persian) and would never let her date, etc. I used to drive her home from school and her favorite band was Depeche Mode. She loved this tune along with People are People. I hated modern rock and thought it was all trash....I perked up years later with that song Personal Jesus ~1990. Since then, I enjoy DMode songs to some extent....I still think about that young lady from 1985 and anytime I hear DMode I think of her. Sweet girl and very attractive. Not a huge fan of DMode, but this is stellar and brings back some serious emotions from my teen years.
Bro u ever thought of searching for her on social media?
Fantastic River! It sounds so good as an acoustic song and you’ve got all the parts represented. Hats off to you!
Thank you, Amy! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
This is awesome
Thank you for sharing your talent to the world!
well, i heard all the cover songs by now.. and, i need more!
Simply beautiful
Thank you! Cheers, mate!
I'm 6 songs in and you capture the essence of every song beautifully.
Thank you, my friend! 🙏
What a brilliant arrangement on this guitar! I loved DM in my twenties.... they would love it.
And hey ... you're looking at the camera.🤗
Many, many thanks 🙏 And yes, a very rare video looking into the camera. Ich schaue lieber in deine Augen :)
@@rivercrombie Ooooh, my deep love, are you flirting with Lady Botten in public?
That touches her very much. 💖
@@sarahago3292 Maybe a little :)
Amazing job! The chord voicings are so gorgeous.
Thanks, brother!
Sublime
Wow. Listed to your cover of "Down in a Hole" and "Nutshell" amazing performance. Well I am now subscribed to this channel and I found your original work on Spotify. Great stuff! I will definitely share with my circle of friends. Good job on Depeche Mode too BTW. Loved them when I was growing up in the 80s.
Thanks! I'm happy to hear you found some of my original music. I'll post an original song this week. Cheers!

Sublime, absolutely gorgeus

Great job, thanks for the videos you are very talented .
Thank you! I appreciate the comment :)
Nice cover! Love the AIC covers as well! 👍👍
Great, my fav song
[Verse 1]
Words like violence break the silence
Come crashing in into my little world
Painful to me, pierce right through me
Can't you understand? Oh, my little girl
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Vows are spoken to be broken
Feelings are intense, words are trivial
Pleasures remain, so does the pain
Words are meaningless and forgettable
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Enjoy the silence
Love it.
Very nice man! I am currently learning this on guitar. Great song!
you made my (sun) day! I thank you so much, sir 🖤
Lovely cover! The beginning rift sounds very familiar to another song, but I don’t remember it
Internet is such an awesome thing. I'm a brazilian listen to a german Jesus playing a great australian band. Veeeery nice playing, bro!
Awesome 🙌🤘
Muito bom!!! Greetings from Brasil!
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed...💖

Some flowers bloom in the shade.

Love the cover! I think it was a bit rushed... I mean singing along it felt quick. Love your music video choices!!! Keep it up!
I have a habit of starting slow and getting faster. A bit like driving. It's something I'm aware of though :) Thanks for the comment!

Velice pjekné!

Please, say what is microphone ? Very very good songs!!!!! Thanks💗🙏)))))
Thank you! It's a Zoom H4 as the audio interface. Cheers!
I don't think I could say any better than it's already been . Outstanding no doubt. I was wondering what kind of amp and mic do you use if you don't mind me asking
Thank you, brother. I'm using a Zoom H4 as the audio interface. No amp for the guitar. Vocals and guitar on one track. Cheers!
Great!
Do you a tutorial of these ? Love!
Nice one! I think a shorter version of "Precious" should be mazing
That's my request for your next concert in Stellshagen
As long as you're playing bass it's a deal :)
@@rivercrombie ok deal
Maravilhoso! ❤ Tutorial?
Would it be too much to ask for tabs for this amazing arrangement
Thanks! I arranged this by ear from the recording. Maybe someone will take the time and write it out sometime! Cheers, River.
Goddamn! This does pierce right through me....
Great job! Is it in standard tuning?
Thanks! Yes, standard tuning :)
