Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Christmas this year is going to be heavy on work and light on trolling the ancient Yuletide carol. That's why I decided to (mostly) go with the original lyrics to this song as sung by Judy Garland in "Meet Me in St. Louis": they feel appropriate this year. There will be a normal Christmas next year; until then, as Judy says, we'll have to muddle through somehow. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Original Song: "The Manning Hotel"
Переглядів 1685 місяців тому
I wrote this song for the 2024 Hey Nonny Songwriting Contest. It tells the story of the "Fox Lake Massacre", a mob shooting in Fox Lake, IL in the early hours of June 1, 1930. The owner of the hotel, alderman James Manning, had recently switched beer suppliers from a local operation connected to George "Bugs" Moran to the Druggan-Lake gang, which was aligned with Al Capone. Shooters who were ne...

There's a little bit of morning rasp in my voice before work today, but I think it's appropriate for a Steve Earle song. Happy #ValentinesDay, everyone. #happyvalentinesday #music #guitar #steveearle #holiday #lovesong
Jimmy Buffett's "Come Monday"

This is a song I've been playing for a long time, going all the way back to high school. The arrangement has evolved over time. I was so sad to wake up to news of his passing on Saturday; I grew up listening to his music with my friends. #jimmybuffett #rip #music #singersongwriter #acousticguitar #acousticcover #guitar

That was beautiful Matthew!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
If you go If you go today or tomorrow If you go when the days are cold If you go and leave me in sorrow If you go because I've grown old I forgive you I wish you great love I forgive you and I understand I forgive you from heaven above I forgive you as the wave forgives sand I will love you until the end of days I will love you even though you lied I will love you in spite of your ways I will love you even after I've died I fell in love in a few moments I fell in love and loved you the most I fell in love and had no judgements I fell in love as though with a ghost æ
Merry Christmas Matthew!
I've gone out of my way to not listen to any Christmas music this year...working in retail it's been quite the challenge. But for you old friend I was happy to give a listen. As usual stand up job. Congrats on the new place and happy holidays to you and your lovely family 😊
@@melonyreece4195 Aww, thanks. 💜
Songs like this one stick around because of their melodies.
Sing it properly. I dont believe a word of it.
@@breeguus5877 You're welcome to go watch Shane McGowan sing it. I'm not him. This is how I sing. Have a nice day.
That's really good.
Well done Matt - you are very talented artist. Just beautiful 👏👏
Lol, It is one of the most sought after tones in acoustic guitar history
Nonsense. Tone is everything,miles Davis said it as well, it is your voice. Pink moon is a great guitar tone and works perfectly with nicks voice on the album because the strings are dead. That’s the idea. It doesn’t matter how well you play if the tone is no good.
wow man, amazing cover!! beautiful voice!! excelent!!! 👏👏👏
awesome voice dude, love it!
Bro this is amazing!! Can you PLEASE send me the tab/lesson to play this???
Gotta disagree. Love the tone of his guitar and one of the best recorded acoustic guitars on any album ever. Different strings in those days, and they died really quickly and I guess not being that well off he just got used to getting the best out of what he had. Putting new strings on for making an album obviously didn't bother him.
@@tago69mago671 Oh, I like it too. But conventionally speaking, it's not "good" tone.
Nicks family was rich.
@christiangasior4244 we don't all go poncing off our parents when times are hard. If you know anything about him he had mental health problems so wasn't always thinking straight!
I think Nick‘s tone is actually great. Maybe not on it‘s own, but it fits his voice and the songs and recordings very well. So for me, a great tone is one that fits the song
James Taylor the 2nd!!!
Wow you deserve so much more recognition on UA-cam!!!
What a beautiful version, thanks for sharing.
Sounds great, Matt!
Are you in Keosaqua?
Beautiful voice man keep going praying for you
My Guild GAD-50 is a chinese-built (unfortunately) guitar with a phenomenal neck, gorgeous tone and stunning wood grain. The back and sides are bright flame maple, and the neck is a darker finish, which contrasts beautifully. I spent $500 on it pre-owned, and it plays, sounds and looks as beautiful as I could ever want. You don't need to drop thousands on a hand built acoustic just to chase the "perfect tone"
Loved it!
I grew up in Champaign, and this song has has a special significance for me, as I left Illinois unwillingly back in 1989 (father took a new job). All these years later, I still long to be home in Champaign. Thank you for a little bit of home tonight.
Nice, and doing it after Linda's immortal version. Thanks.
For the next 10 minutes, I can now add a d12 to one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw of my choice.
Ha! Actually, this bard is level 12, so it's only a 1d10.
Hats off....great voice and mastery of the emotion.
That was incredible my friend
Flawless cover!
I just found this video, and let me say dude you have true talent! this cover is beautiful!
Thank you!
I understand the message but what a bad example, the tone on that whole album is amazing. A lot of tone is also in the fingers which is why no matter how much you spend you may never sound like your fav players. Best advice is play however you want and hope people respond to it
Great job, Matthew! Soulful and great guitar playing.
That's wonderful 👍 Best male version I've heard.
Awesome advice
Actually the guitar in the song Pink Moon is out of tune, so really as long as you’re Nick Drake you can make anything sound good. Seriously though you got a great point, to many people out there try to go for high end gear straight out the gate when all you really need is a guitar that has good action and stays in tune.
out of tune or out of standard tuning?
@@ElanLieberman from what I’ve heard it’s somewhat out of tune on the recording, but IDK that’s just what I’ve heard online but either way he’s a genius
It’s not out of tune with itself
You got an amazing voice my man
Great job Matt.
great version of a classic song!
Very nice , one of my all time favorite tunes , well done !
Nice vocals and guitar work ! Well done , not an easy song to cover .
Nice!
Beautiful song man
Wonderful, Matt! Hope you be Ok!
Still the best cover
Great message. The song is what matters most. You could have the greatest tone in the world. If it’s not a great song, its not a great song.
That’s how Taylor Swift can play any of her songs acoustic and they all still sound amazing
Super!! 👏
Still my favorite cover
Congratulations, Matthew!!! Fly Boy, Fly Boy!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very good, very good! Congratulations, Matthew!!!
