    Here we are, a little over forty years since George and Andrew first put out Careless Whisper and we have here possibly the most ingenious and incisive examination into that song's own soul.
    I like to think that were George still alive, and heard this rendition, he'd be reminded as to how affecting his song remains, and that great songwriting can be transmogrified into truly extraordinary forms in capable hands.
    Just think of it, sometime in the early 80s, George jotting down lyrics on bits of paper and making early demos with Andrew, to what it became, to this four decades later. It's pretty chilling, yet enormously beautiful.
    Truly amazing work.

      Alexandr Misko I love your skills. Absolutely amazing.
      Without totally discrediting him, I find that Ed Sheeran is so highly overrated when it comes to his playing the guitar. There are better artists out there. It's simply promotion and product placement. If anyone feels offended by my comment, it's only my opinion and am not looking for any validation. Alexandr, you truly do deserve more credit and recognition. I pray you don't sell out like many other musicians that I've listened to over the past nearly 50 years. You've got a fan and I'll be purchasing your CD. I'll drop you some feedback once I've received it. Peace

But remember even they fight sometimes. Things aren't always this perfect. Besides, he's a star, he has Teardrops, Gibsons and Martins crushing after him. You'd never stand a chance with him. So stay. I beg. But if the beauty you just heard has ceased your peace like it has mine, then I don't blame you... Just leave the lights on and don't bang the door when you leave.

      It is impressive, and very cool and expressive, although certainly not even close to a new thing. Banjo players have been doing it for around a century. It is done by using tuners that have the ability to have stops set at certain intervals, which literally stop the tuner from turning at two different points for accuracy and ease. The result is an added level of expression we commonly don't see on guitar, but it still is extremely common in the banjo world.

    "Careless Whisper" Lyrics:
    I feel so unsure
    As I take your hand
    And lead you to the dance floor
    As the music dies
    Something in your eyes
    Calls to mind a silver screen
    And all its sad goodbyes
    I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Time can never mend
    The careless whispers of a good friend
    To the heart and mind
    Ignorance is kind
    There's no comfort in the truth
    Pain is all you'll find
    I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    (Should have known better, yeah)
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Never without your love
    Tonight the music seems so loud
    I wish that we could lose this crowd
    Maybe it's better this way
    We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
    We could have been so good together
    We could have lived this dance forever
    But now who's gonna dance with me?
    Please stay
    And I'm never gonna dance again
    Guilty feet have got no rhythm
    Though it's easy to pretend
    I know you're not a fool
    I should've known better than to cheat a friend
    And waste the chance that I'd been given
    So I'm never gonna dance again
    The way I danced with you
    Now that you're gone
    Now that you're gone
    Now that you're gone
    Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
    That you had to leave me alone?
