Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) - Live in Isolation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- This is our third COVID isolation project. We never thought we would still be doing this half-a-year later, but it has been a great outlet for us. Thanks to everyone for your support. Enjoy the music!
Everyone recorded their tracks and videos at home. I compiled, mixed and edited it all in my home studio.
Thanks to my friends for their outstanding work!
Anthony Dixon: lead and chorus vocals
Deirdre Broderick: keyboard and vocals
John Henderson: guitars and vocals
David Spinozza: guitars and guitar soli arrangement
David Wofford: bass
Elisa Vargas: campanelli (bells)
(Elisa is a percussionist with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Venezuela. It is a pleasure to work with her, and we hope she joins us on future productions!)
Frank Dickinson: arrangement, drums, percussion, vocals, audio mixing, video editing
Peace!

Lindo demais, chorando aqui!!!!
Muito Obrigado! Tão feliz que você gostou!
This helps, I’ve been trying to figure out what instruments were used to make that hollow beat and ding sound
Yes, sometimes it's hard to dissect those mixes. The "hollow beat" sound on beats 2 and 4 is actually a woodblock with a lot of reverb on it. It isn't shown in the video because I was running out of room for little boxes... 😆 The small hand drum is making more of a tapping sound. Listen closely to hear it.
I love the way Marvin and company used bells and various percussion. You can make sounds like that today with a keyboard synthesizer, but I wanted the real deal. Elisa Vargas, percussionist with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Venezuela, was very kind to lend us her talents! Peace
Fantastic!!!!!! you guys need to give classes to young people today so they know what real music is great great job please keep it up😃👍🏽
Thank you, Wayne! Yes, we would love to give classes like that. There are so many talented young people, it would be a pleasure!
Oh my is that THE David Spinozza?!
Yes it is! As you might imagine, it's a pleasure to work with him. Will tell David you stopped by. 😀
Beautiful!! Through mercy & grace we have faith. That the world will be healed. Our spirits uplifed, and our broken hearts mended. Our soul be filled with the essence of Gods love. And be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
Thank you so much, Janet! Such a beautiful comment. Truly inspiring. Peace!
i just heard this song for the first time yesterday, now i'm searching for covers and sincerely i think i don't need to search anymore, this was PERFECT
Thank you so much! Marvin was a huge influence on us, and his "What's Going On" album was groundbreaking. So glad you enjoyed our version of his song!
Mercy Me. Absolutely outstanding. Beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. Great job.
A million thanks, Nancy! Peace!
Fantastic harmonies, so together! Don't know how you're able to do that, but loving it. Marvin would too ;-).
Very nice thing to say, Rabbi and much appreciated! The trick is to work with great people. (BTW, we enjoyed your "non-GMO" videos) Shalom!
Mercy..am a puddle of emotion..🇨🇦
Thank you so much! Nice to know that our music affected someone in a positive way! Hope all is well in Canada! - peace -

Astounding work, Frank. Love seeing friends do such high quality work. The harmonies and lead vocal: superb.
Thanks so much, Dan! Hope we can work in person soon!
A great reimagining of this prophetic song. Love the groove and the beautiful choral sound.
Thanks so much, Rik! Who would have thought that a song about the environment would reach #4 on the pop singles chart and #1 on the R&B singles chart... and who would think it would still be relevant nearly 50 years later? Peace!
Nice job.
Thanks! So glad you like it!
Nice song my brotha! You all are the best!
Thank you so much, Ann!

Thank Lou ... when the pandemic is over we gotta hit a Karaoke spot to sing “Smooth.” 👍🏾
I'll bet hearing you sing live would blow my socks off!
My singing level is "he's not too bad!" at karaoke, yet sometimes I reach further.
Nice Job. i love this song. Rest in peace Marvin Gaye.
Thank you so much! Marvin was a huge influence on us.
Hermosa canción!! Felicitaciones por la performance!!
¡Muchas gracias! Me alegro de que te haya gustado!
Simply put.....OUTSTANDING!!!
Thank you so much, Dennis! We're glad you liked it. Please check out our other videos! Peace
The group is spot on but the lead vocalist ruined it, he messed up the performance for the rest. Somebody has to pull him aside and show him the replay. He is awful
Having produced the video, of course I disagree with your assessment of the vocalist. He's a wonderful singer, great to work with, and he did exactly what I wanted and more. Not sure what you mean by "show him the replay" anyway... It's a virtual performance. Everyone made their own videos and reviewed them well before they were edited together. We're proud of our collective effort. Thanks for watching though!
