You Can Close Your Eyes - Camden Voices (lockdown virtual choir cover)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лис 2020
- As lockdown 2.0 continues to keep us apart from those we love and the things we love, we wanted to bring you another virtual cover of a classic song. This time it’s You Can Close Your Eyes by the incomparable @jamestaylor, arranged by Ed Blunt. Originally written for his girlfriend at the time Joni Mitchell, Taylor describes the song as a “secular hymn”. It’s a song that, whilst speaking of loss and separation, aims to soothe and console. We hope you enjoy our version and that our music continues to bring you some calm and comfort.

I'm loving this! The community choir I'm in did this for Christmas and it was a challenge, to be sure
I was listening to a trio of women singing "Helplessly Hoping," and it was followed by their cover of "You Can Close Your Eyes." I hadn't been thinking about this song, but it just grabbed me. I'm listening to every version I can find. Yours is one of the best! Thank you for this wonderful performance!

@@urosano5307 thanks to all of you for sharing your beautiful voices with the world. Gotta go now, have to listen to my nightcap song before I ‘close my eyes’👀 xx
As well done as any JT cover I've ever heard. Obviously, a completely different artistic vision being used, but, nonetheless, utterly fantastic.
