But what a great cover my friend. With a lot of feeling. The playing on the guitar, your great way of singing, everything is perfect. Thank you once again for these pearls that you give us weekly.
I sometimes tune down from standard and capo back to standard just to lower the action a smidgen for playability. Strictly personal preference, mind you..
Wow..What a great musican..It's all in the soul, n what a song..Revisited and transported to another time and place.So much appreciated. If it don't give you goosebumps...brilliant
Thank you River. Another great cover. I haven't listened to REM in a while. It makes me want to break out my acoustic and learn this song. This is one of my favorites by them. I would love to hear Drive and Everybody Hurts from you. Keep up the great work!
Damn. Probably my favorite REM song, and man you did it great. You sound very similar to Stipe ... It's impressive that you memorize all these lyrics too, I don't think you get enough credit for that. That's not easy.
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Oh, life, it's bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losin' my religion Tryin' to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough [Chorus] I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try [Verse 2] Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosin' my confessions Tryin' to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I set it up [Pre-Chorus] Consider this Consider this, the hint of the century Consider this, the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now, I've said too much [Chorus] I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try [Bridge] But that was just a dream That was just dream [Verse 3] That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losin' my religion Tryin' to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough [Chorus] I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try [Outro] But that was just a dream Try, cry, why try? That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream
One of my favorite songs. Saw R.E.M perform this live (a long time ago, 1996 I think). I'm usually not a big fan of covers because they hardly ever come close to the original. But this is so good. Everything you do is so good. Thank you so much. And sorry, I said it before but I'll say it again, I need more of your stuff on spotify.
É isso aí! Nada melhor que covers de qualidade de músicas tristes! Continue assim! Translate: That's it! Nothing better than quality covers of sad songs! Keep it up!
That was one of my favorite covers from you so far,you sang with perfect amount of emotion plus it helps your voice works perfect for the Song as well. Awesome job,looking forward to the next!
Please can we get a detailed guitar tutorial on this one 🙏 everyone I have watched so far is no where near as good as you and your version is so much more detailed and better ❤️
Thank you, my friend. Unfortunately I don't have much time for tutorials. But hopefully you can learn from the video. Maybe slowing it down helps? Cheers!
Thanks, brother! I hope the video helps with learning it. My guitar is tuned down half a step so if you're in standard tuning you don't need the capo. Cheers!
Outstanding! Very good cover of one of my favorite songs ever! Great voice, and your guitar has an amazing sound all it's own! Are you dropped a 1/2 step or a full step?
Would love to know the tuning of your guitar, for learning purposes of course :). Please consider doing a Collective Soul song next, I think you would knock it out of the park.
But what a great cover my friend. With a lot of feeling. The playing on the guitar, your great way of singing, everything is perfect. Thank you once again for these pearls that you give us weekly.
Thank you brother!
Such a great cover for a great song.
I love R.E.M and this acoustic cover is absolutely amazing, River!!! 🥰
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Cheers!
FYI, if you want to play along, his guitar is tuned down half a step, so if you’re in standard tuning, play open without a capo 👍
Does that vary the tone with 1/2 step down and capo 1 vs standard tuning?
I sometimes tune down from standard and capo back to standard just to lower the action a smidgen for playability. Strictly personal preference, mind you..
You did it justice, my good man. That will go to my favorite covers.
You've got a great voice for this song especially man! Nice talent.
Thank you, my friend!
Good job Bro !🎸🎶🎶👍🏻
Beautiful, River! And we can all sing along!
Thank you! Happy to hear you're singing along :)
Great cover. Your voice is perfect for this song.

@@rivercrombie Thanks to you friend, my comments are proportional to your great interpretations!! 😁😁😁🖐
Top! Incrível... Parabéns!
Bela versão, voz perfeita e violão bem tocado!! 👏👏👏👏👏
River, your voice has never reminded me of Michael Stipe…
But it sure is perfectly suited to this song…and sounds very much like him 🎶🖐🏼🎶
Thank you! This is the first R.E.M I've ever tried to sing so it's interesting that my voice fits their music. Maybe I'll do another sometime. Cheers!
Great voice great playing,what a song way ahead of its time very appropriate for the time were in right now.
Wow..What a great musican..It's all in the soul, n what a song..Revisited and transported to another time and place.So much appreciated. If it don't give you goosebumps...brilliant
His voice is great , perfect for that song,the guitar has a sound of it's own . awesome job.
Thank you! All the best.
Thank you River. Another great cover. I haven't listened to REM in a while. It makes me want to break out my acoustic and learn this song. This is one of my favorites by them. I would love to hear Drive and Everybody Hurts from you. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, man. Yes, break out the acoustic and give it a go!
Great voice man , best cover. Huggies in the brazil

Thanks, man! You're welcome to the bridge part. Cheers!

Thanks, man! I appreciate it. Memorizing the lyrics is what takes the most time. I usually need a week or so for that. Cheers!
Awesome cover my friend !
Really good job on this one
Thank you!
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Oh, life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losin' my religion
Tryin' to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Verse 2]
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosin' my confessions
Tryin' to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
[Pre-Chorus]
Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now, I've said too much
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Bridge]
But that was just a dream
That was just dream
[Verse 3]
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losin' my religion
Tryin' to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
[Chorus]
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
[Outro]
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream
Brawisimo maestro!!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed that. Thank you.
Wow! Great cover.
10/10 BOSSSSS Level

You know. Your cover sounds better than original. I gonna try to learn this song through your video. Wish me luck 😅
Thanks, brother! I hope the video helps with learning it. My guitar is tuned down half a step so if you're in standard tuning you don't need the capo. Cheers!
you are a true artist
Thank you, my friend!
Very....verdade.. GOOD!!!
Gracias
Very well done brother!
🤘🔥💥🤘
Your guitar technique is great, as well as your voice!
Thank you!
Great job!
Love it, what type of guitar is that exactly?
Outstanding! Very good cover of one of my favorite songs ever! Great voice, and your guitar has an amazing sound all it's own! Are you dropped a 1/2 step or a full step?
Thanks, man! I appreciate that. The guitar is dropped 1/2 a step so the capo brings it to standard. Cheers!
Would love to know the tuning of your guitar, for learning purposes of course :). Please consider doing a Collective Soul song next, I think you would knock it out of the park.
It's standard tuning half a step down to Eb. I'll check out some Collective Soul songs. Cheers!
