Title: Please Let Me Wonder cover Post by: Gregg on August 31, 2012, 06:53:28 AM I've heard some really impressive stuff from some of you guys since I started visiting this board a while back and thought I'd share a cover I did of "Please Let Me Wonder" and see what you think. Hope you enjoy.

You really capture the essence of the soft vocal approach Brian used for the original.

Title: Re: Please Let Me Wonder cover Post by: Shane on November 02, 2012, 01:20:46 AM This is quite impressive. Harmonies are good... your voice has traces of a latter-day Brian Wilson, in a good way. It's just the auto-tune on the lead vocal that's going to take some getting used to. I think my ears are stuck back in 1966 and have a hard time coping. ;D

You definitely did one of my very favorite songs ever justice. Nice job! Title: Re: Please Let Me Wonder cover Post by: grillo on November 02, 2012, 07:52:46 PM your voice really reminds me of that Wolfson guy who sings in The Alan Parsons Project, and that's a compliment!
Title: Re: Please Let Me Wonder cover Post by: Lowbacca on November 03, 2012, 05:50:21 AM Holy sh*t, dude. This is my favourite BBs song / BW composition and damnit if you're not doing it justice. Thumbs up. (Could have wished for a more prominent lead vocal, though. But that's just the mix.)
Title: Re: Please Let Me Wonder cover Post by: Gregg on November 06, 2012, 04:02:08 PM Thanks, everyone, for the nice comments! I'm pleasantly surprised to find my cover re-discovered and read all of your thoughts on it. Glad I checked in here again!

I think my ears are stuck back in 1966 and have a hard time coping. ;D Well, I'd prefer my voice have traces of an earlier-day Brian Wilson, but hey, that still makes my day. :) And just for the record.... I didn't process the lead vocal through an auto-tune device, per se, but I did nudge the pitch on a couple notes here and there. Again, I'm no earlier-day Brian Wilson. :-D Glad you liked it for the most part though. This is really wonderful. You definitely did one of my very favorite songs ever justice. Nice job! Thank you so much! your voice really reminds me of that Wolfson guy who sings in The Alan Parsons Project, and that's a compliment! Eric Woolfson! I always loved his voice but never tried to consciously emulate him. Wow. That's a very nice compliment! Holy sh*t, dude. This is my favourite BBs song / BW composition and damnit if you're not doing it justice. Thumbs up. (Could have wished for a more prominent lead vocal, though. But that's just the mix.) It's one of my favorites, as well, and what I view as the quintessential BBs song. I really tried to duplicate the instrumentation and vocals as closely as possible and then sing the lead vocal as sweetly as possible. I'm not a great guitar player or singer, but I have a pretty good ear. I'm not 100% satisfied with the mix either. Thanks so much for the encouraging words! |
