This is brilliant. Mary should perform as "The Spenders" with three big TVs with pre-recorded performances on each instrument triggered with Ableton and include banter with/from the other band members.
I'm actually stunned at how accomplished you are. You're knowledgeable, skilled, charismatic, and honest. Very cool. Props for all the difficult work. You're a star! Thanks for being inspirational.
Or don't love people who ONLY choose to love themselves and deny you except for what you provide them. Selfish lovers have no codependency and won't create any.
I really admire the work you put in for these videos, it's a big job for one person. Planning, recording it all... Then shooting the different parts and getting changed for each one. Then there's any mixing/mastering. - The quality never slips, musicianship is always top notch. You set the bar for musicians on TH-cam :)
Great concept, beautifully executed. The tone, the musicianship, the recording, great, great, great. Did I forget the singing? It was great. Top marks, Ms. Spender.
I’m simply blown away, Mary Spender! You’re amazingly talented and skilled on so many levels. I love this cover! I’ve played this several times now and every detail is spot on. Your band is in the groove lady.
Loved it, loved it, loved it. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all Mary; after 2 failed marriages, I stopped looking and then, just when I was getting happy with myself, BAM! I met the one for me; we dated and hung out a lot. I raised the idea of marriage and met BIG pushback so I said, "that's OK, If we're as happy as we are now in 20 years then that's fine with me" and nothing more was said of marriage. Then she went on a walking/drinking trip with her girlfriends to Estes National Park for a week - when she came back she said "May would be nice." "Nice for what?" I asked. "To get married" was the reply. It will be our 24th anniversary in May 23.

What an excellent song, composition, groove and vocal harmonies. Each instrument was so well recorded and mixed. I love what you're doing, please keep moving forward with all of your talents, super impressive!
Absolutely love the tone of your Vigier guitars. Not only is your voice dark and sultry like tinted glass, your finger style and tone is beyond reproach. You have been one of my favorite guitarists and musicians for many many moons now, thank you for your candor and passion you give us each and every time.
As always Mary, your playing and singing are proof of your talent. The mix was well balanced and the skit make me smile. You'll be single for as long as you need to be, I guess. Even if it changes you are still a fine performer whom I respect. God bless you, Mary!
I saw the video title and thought, "Her relationship status is none of my business, but if she has something to say I'm curious." Now I love Miley's talent as well as the way she expresses in general. You nailed this cover, and I like your rendition better than hers. Brava!!
I don't disagree at all that's she's a great singer, but as you mention pitch: close listening makes it pretty clear that Melodyne (or sth. similar) has been used on the vocals. ...Again, not to take away from her skills, I'm sure it would have sounded just as good without that - or quite likely _better,_ in fact.
I love your trio video, it is far better than the creator's in content and sound. I finding that your Trio is very pleasing to listen too and watch. All I can say is keep developing your style and sound. This is from an old guy who has been around music all his life.
Based on the title, I was expecting self-loathing and I almost did not watch it. That would have been a huge mistake! This was superb. I loved every second of it and your voice was perfect for this song. Bravo!
Absolutely breathtaking! That sneaky wink from the bass Mary is just out of this world. The enthusiasm is so.. so... catchy. Mary is such a talented young lady.
I just heard the Miley Cyrus original for the first time and holy cow do I prefer this cover. So well done! Both the instrumentation and the vocals convey the emotional core of the lyrics to my ear better than the Cyrus version. I wish Mary's version was available for purchase/download!

It was always astounding to me that while I was single, people would persistently ask if I was dating anyone, seeing anyone, anyone I'm interested in....as if that it is unthinkable to be single and not interested in dating.
This was cool as hell. I've not heard the other version so this is the only one that exists in my universe. What an enjoyable little groove to brighten my day, thanks!
This is simply awesome Mary! Everyone who watched this video loves it, whether bass, guitar, or drummer. Love your talent and your comments. We all do! Which is why we are here!!! Cheers!!
as a drummer, i gotta give props to a multi-instrumentalist who actually knows how to hold sticks and is in tune with rebound. you're not doing anything crazy, which is fine, but that grip you have is spot-on. well done yo. my request is "Anti-Gravity Love Song" by Incubus.
The thing that struck me: she's relaxed. So many non-drummers play with tight shoulders, hunched over, pinched expressions on their faces - you can totally tell they're struggling. Not so here, she's in the groove.
@@adm1nspotter Yeah, she *is* isn't she? She's moving her body (like in a dance) with the groove! I once saw a drum channel mention the importance of this while reviewing Larnell Lewis at Zildjan. Also, in your original comment you mention the "rebound". I assume that means working with the vibration of the drum velum to guide the successive strokes of the drumstick. An energy conversation of sorts, rather than just slamming the drums into submission. Energy efficiency. Am I making any sense or just off completely?
I am a drummer first but play bass and guitar, the first thing I noticed about her drumming was her stick grip. I've run across her videos but they have always been guitar only.
If i walked into a club and u were performing this I would litterally walk back out and and grab the next person on the street. "Hey mate, sorry, but I need a flower shop, like now.' That was wonderful. Your tone was so smooth and enveloping. It absolutley amazes me that your single. Cheers for the vibes from Melb, Aus
Just when I think Mary has made us aware of all hert talents - SHE PLAYS DRUMS - this is a good song for Mary it's in her vocal range, has a different vibe from we used to from Mary. This video is somewhat more involved than previous ones, although the script is basic, it's very interesting.
Hearing this made my day! Your song is a big hit! And I agree, happiness found in one's single state is a golden nugget within one's self. When the right one comes along, they will also not be needy, but ready to love someone else for who they are
In my 60s .... LIFE IS SHORT and there's nothing wrong with 🎸 BUT when you get older and look back and wish I could do it over again.... WHEN YOU MEET THE RIGHT PERSON.... LIFE IS BETTER
I have listened to this a dozen times but finally with headphones and just noticed the stereo separation with bass and drums backing vocals. Very nice touch Ms Spender.

This is actually a really well written song, never realized that until now.
This song has a great bassline, glad your version really highlights it. The added guitars are really cool too.
It's going to be quite awkward if this band ever breaks up.
Great voice and I love the bass in this song.
Yes, so well done!
I like the vocal harmonies, I'd hate to see those go. And some tasty guitar parts!
Unfortunately the band already broke up and are now suing the crap out of each other for royalties

You forgot to mention that she's also cute. Girl is perfect, omg.
Single is better than your best bad relationship. Love yourself and keep making great music. 🙂

Or don't love people who ONLY choose to love themselves and deny you except for what you provide them. Selfish lovers have no codependency and won't create any.
Best bad relationship? Wtf does that even mean
Your first sentence doesn't make any sense
Absolutely correct. Just stay away from any romantic relationship that is bad. There is NO need for any unnecessary drama in your life.

The harmony between the band members is just awesome
Tighter than the BeeGees! ;-)
almost like it's the same person
This is great! Perfect lead in to the song! Would love to see "The Spenders" do more originals and covers in this format.
The Spenders… I like that!
Mary and the Spenders! First album; Spender Bender.
This is a legit idea especially if each Spender has her own unique personality, maybe different sides of the original just cranked to 11.
How about Sispenders?
"The Mary Spenders".. that's the ticket.. 🤣
Amazing band. Equally talented trio of oddly similar looking gorgeous girls. I'll be more than happy to offer y'all flowers, well deserved.
Perfect for your vocal range and the compression on the mic is sweetly. Nice harmonies and solo too!

Thank you Mary!
So talented! Love those vocals!
