    • @belascialoja4812
      @belascialoja4812 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@binghamguevara6814 It's actually two sentences. 1) "Kathy I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping. 2) I'm empty and aching and I don't know why. /// What do they mean? It's a story, a poem maybe. It's whatever it means to _you_ . Most people empathize with the second sentence. Confessing one's loneliness to a sleeping friend makes the loneliness a thousand times more bleak -- makes it _real_ .

    I have been a Simon and Garfunkel music lover my whole life. And a longtime huge fan of Mike, Jeff and Sterling's incredible covers. This one is masterfully performed as the other S&G song covers, such as The Boxer, (one of my all time favorites Mike and Sterling perform) and Scarborough Fair Canticle. Mike, Jeff and Sterling's high level of vocal talents are a rarity, and brings so much heart felt joy to my life. Much admiration and thanks for all you do. ❤❤

      Europe would be awesome, actually. :) I wonder how a song by them would sound, reworked by you. You know, the best and most creative covers are the ones where you do a song in your own style, completely different to the original...

      @ChristomirRackov 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Until you mentioned it, I never even considered playing this capo'ed, but I suppose it makes more sense to walk down a C chord than a D. Heh. But I like those big open E A DM7 chords on the chorus.

    I know I've made a similar remark before, but I can't believe these people sit through a rendition like this, and there's barely a smattering of applause. You don't get to see this type of talent and every pizza joint in town. Learn to appreciate what you have in front of you here...geesh!! What an incredible rendition, and trading off on the harmonies the way you did was remarkable. And a very solid Bass holding it all together.
