Lyrics: It's a wonder men can eat at all, When things are big that should be small, Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us, And I'm giving all my love to this world, Only to be told, I can't see, I can't breathe, No more will we be, And nothing's going to change the way we live, Cos' we can always take but never give, And now that things are changing for the worse See, its a crazy world we're living in, And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin, Is all we have to give these - Future's made of virtual insanity now, Always seem to be, governed by this love we have, For useless, twisting, our new technology, Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground And I'm thinking what a mess we're in, Hard to know where to begin, If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made, And now every mother, can choose the colour Of her child, That's not nature's way, Well that's what they said yesterday, There's nothing left to do but pray, I think it's time I found a new religion, Waoh - it's so insane, To synthesize another strain, There's something in these Futures that we have to be told, Futures made of virtual insanity - now Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have, For useless, twisting, our new technology Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground ……..

My pride and joy!!! Dan, what a blessing you were while at WHS and still are! Your gifts are limitless! I love your groove here and am considering trying to arrange this for our big band. So glad I ran across your arrangement!! You're inspiring! God Bless- Sam "Mr. R."
I thought I had seen every cover of this song. How did I miss the absolute best one all these years omfg. The vocals, the piano, the improv….holy shit dude the level of talent is too damn high.
Incredible... I've been subscribed for so many years, and to this day I still listen to Dan's Hallelujah when I'm down. Since the day it came out, makes me so happy... his voice needs to sing everything 🥰
hey Dan i just put up my own keys & vocal cover version of Virtual Insanity (co-written by Jason Kay and Toby Smith), and i wanted to thank you again for your performance here, not only does it sound great, it also shows those of us who can't read music how to play it! You're a real pro man, i'd love to catch one of your live shows sometime. Peace and keep on grooving.
NICE! I love your cover the most of all of the others that I've seen. Your voice compliments the song and you really stayed true to the funky style of the original with your playing and singing. If I were to do a cover, I would've done it the same way that you did. Great job!
Ooh hey hey, oh, world we're living in (let me tell ya) And it's a wonder man can eat at all When things are big that should be small Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us? And I'm giving all my love to this world Only to be told I can't see I can't breathe No more will we be And nothing's going to change the way we live 'Cause we can always take but never give And now that things are changing for the worse See, whoa, it's a crazy world we're living in And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin Is all we have to give these Futures made of virtual insanity now Always seem to, be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting, other new technology Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground And I'm thinking what a mess we're in Hard to know where to begin If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made And now every mother, can choose a color Of her child That's not nature's way Well that's what they said yesterday There's nothing left to do but pray I think it's time I found a new religion Whoa, it's so insane To synthesize another strain There's something in these Futures that we have to be told Futures made of virtual insanity now Always seem to, be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting, our new technology Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground Now there is no sound If we all live underground And now it's virtual insanity Forget your virtual reality Oh, there's nothing so bad (happiness) Oh yeah I know yeah Futures made of virtual insanity now Always seem to, be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting, our new technology Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground, oh (Livin' in, virtual insanity) And this lie that we're living Is all so wrong (Livin' in, virtual insanity) and out the window, you know that there is nothing worse than (Livin' in, virtual insanity) a manly man, there is nothing worse than (Livin' in, virtual insanity) a foolish man Virtual insanity this world we're living in Yeah the world is all I have
Beautiful job! So glad you covered this artist! I've been hearing his song "Blue Skies" recently on Pandora and love his sound! Love all your chord progressions on this!
At first I didn't like your chord variant choice during the intro Then your voice came in, AND then you did the pseudo staccato... hot damn dope! Good shit bro!
If i'm in a place drinking, and this guy are performing there, i would spend all my money just so i can keep hearing him all night along. Dope performance! ❤🎵
Oh yeah, what we're living in let me tell ya It's a wonder man can eat at all When things are big that should be small Who can tell what magic spells well be doing for us And I'm giving all my love to this world Only to be told I can't see I can't breathe No more will we be And nothing's going to change the way we live Cos we can always take but never give And now that things are changing for the worse, See, its a crazy world we're living in And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin Is all we have to give these Futures made of virtual insanity now Always seem to, be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting, our new technology Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground And I'm thinking what a mess we're in Hard to know where to begin If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made And now every mother, can choose the colour Of her child That's not natures way Well that's what they said yesterday There's nothing left to do but pray I think it's time I found a new religion Woah it's so insane To synthesize another strain There's something in these Future's that we have to be told. Futures made of virtual insanity Always seem to, be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting, our new technology Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground Now there is no sound If we all live underground And now it's virtual insanity Forget your virtual reality Oh, there's nothing so bad. I know yeah Futures made of virtual insanity Always seem to, be governed by this love we have For useless, twisting, our new technology Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Probably the best cover of this tune on the web, played with personality, without distort the mood.
Way too kind- thanks
those free style riffs were something of another planet good lord
Yo thank you, Carter
Lyrics:
It's a wonder men can eat at all,
When things are big that should be small,
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us,
And I'm giving all my love to this world,
Only to be told,
I can't see,
I can't breathe,
No more will we be,
And nothing's going to change the way we live,
Cos' we can always take but never give,
And now that things are changing for the worse
See, its a crazy world we're living in,
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin,
Is all we have to give these -
Future's made of virtual insanity now,
Always seem to be, governed by this love we have,
For useless, twisting, our new technology,
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in,
Hard to know where to begin,
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made,
And now every mother, can choose the colour
Of her child,
That's not nature's way,
Well that's what they said yesterday,
There's nothing left to do but pray,
I think it's time I found a new religion,
Waoh - it's so insane,
To synthesize another strain,
There's something in these
Futures that we have to be told,
Futures made of virtual insanity - now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have,
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground
…….. (instrumental break) …….
(Soft chords- sustain*)
Futures made of virtual insanity - now
Always seem to be, govern'd by this love we have,
For useless, twisting, our new technology,
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground,
(Emphatic chords)
Futures made of virtual insanity - now,
Always seem to be, govern'd by this love we have,
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground…..
….. (instrumental outro) …..

Oh yeah, what we're living in let me tell ya
It's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells well be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see
I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's going to change the way we live
Cos we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse,
See, its a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin

And now every mother, can choose the colour
Of her child
That's not natures way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Woah it's so insane
To synthesize another strain
There's something in these
Future's that we have to be told.
Futures made of virtual insanity
Always seem to, be governed by this love we have
