Arthur's theme (Best That You Can Do) Christopher Cross | Saxophone Cover

- I remember the first time I heard Arthur's Theme by Christopher Cross (from the movie 'Arthur'). The melody and vibe of the song was instantly touching, right from the intro. When the saxophone solo happened I was spellbound! It's stayed with me all of these years and finally - thanks to @Shaieda Dryden, one of my subscribers - I've finally done my own version of it. Thanks Shaieda! I hope you enjoy it. Leave me a comment or a thumbs up if you do!

LYRICS
Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
Arthur he does as he pleases
All of his life, he's mastered choice
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
And showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
(I know it's crazy)

I remember hearing a Sax jamming in a practice room in down town Auckland what 30+ years ago after I'd done a hard year in Engineering school.. it was summer and I was just relaxed and warm. It brought back that feeling...

When the angels sing
Tasty. The best sax cover ever stage here on UA-cam . Pure soul and Artisty. Cheers
Thanks for a huge complement 🙏👊🏼☺️ please share wherever you can. It really helps 👊🏼
This is in my top 10 favourite saxophone solos of all time; Ernie Watts really went all out on this solo and I really want to learn to play the sax just to learn this solo! I first heard this song when I was waiting in the car with my grandpa Billy while my grandma Doris was shopping and this happened to come on the radio, I was starstruck when the solo came up!
some of my other favourite solos would include Andy Snitzer's tenor solo in Waiting for a Star to Fall and Gary Barnacle's alto solo in China in your Hand which is THE bucket list solo for me
splendid work Brendan!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing! 👊
All the beings in the universe must be beside themselves trying to figure out how those third dimension folks on planet earth are able to produce such emotional filled music.
😊💙

So handsome.....
Dude pls do the Jonny gill my my my dax solo can't find it and where
I'll have a look !
Which saxophone are you using ?
Alto Sax - Yamaha YAS-875EX
Mouthpiece - Beechler Metal #7
Reed - Fibracell #3.5
@@BrendanRoss You changed up eh? I recall you used a Lebayle a while back?
Yeah! I was indeed. I have a few options and sometimes i can't get the shine I'm looking for with the mp or reeds i have so I'll try something else. The Beechler is kind of a default for me.
@@BrendanRoss yep my go to is a beechler bellite that I had customized. I always felt like I felt to synthetic sounding with fibracells though. Your sound is great.
Thank you Pat. 🙏🏻
Que tipo de saxofón es este?
Alto
Would it be all right if I did a vocal cover to this one, please?
Yes. Just credit me with a link to my channel
Of course. Thanks.
You can come.play at Grand West casino at Jackson hall.Its a jazz bar.Im sure the people will love your brilliant playing 👍💃🎷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️
Hi Christopher, how many karate do you allow me to put on my insta?
Hi! I’m Brendan. Christopher Cross is the original singer/composer of the song. I’m sorry i do not understand your question
@@BrendanRoss i'm sorry brendan , I ask you more clearly, or in other words, I ask permission، ، Can you show me some of your clips on my Instagram?
Hi if I may put in another request for a song that you can play,can you please play Even the nights are better.By Air supply.Its also kind of old school song Lol.But only if you find the time to do so Mr Brandan Ross.Thank you in advance.👍🎷
He he you never know.....
Good start but style a bit slower than Yorkies might like. Change of style towards the end.
Thanks for the feedback. The tempo is the same as the original
