John, I heard this song back in the 80's and it was always one of my favorites. As you probably know, Holly Knight was an awesome songwriter and penned it for John Waite who made it into a classic. The backing vocals on the original track were done by Patty Smyth of Scandal. Your cover of it was by far the best I've ever heard of it, so keep up the good work! You're an awesome musician! So enjoyed this. - Best regards, Kelly
Late to the party but this is great. One thing I noticed besides your obvious talent is your use of alternate strumming and picking to really capture the songs essence. Well done.
Wow! What a fantastic acoustic cover. I just heard John Waite’s version the other day- had not heard it in years! I was amazed that I still knew the lyrics. I was thinking, it would be fantastic to do a cover but slow it down, way down. Is that something you would consider doing? Thank you for this great video
Great cover man just stumbled upon it...I appreciate you posting this video....just once at a gig I want to yell to the crowd....you paid a cover now shut up and listen to the performer....OR STAY HOME
I believe I'm ding A and F#m in the Verse pre chorus d and bm chorus…D,F#m,D,E i play by ear and stick in crap i don't know what I'm doing hahah…its easier to show you :-( maybe ill make some "how to" videos on some songs..i hope the chords help a little at least
+John Monnecka I think it'd be a GREAT idea if you'd post a how to video, or better, how YOU did it! Especially the strumming/picking. I aint so good at picking...cept for muh nose of course.
