STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 44 - Losing You - John Butler (Cover)

in openmic •  7 years ago  (edited)

This past week

I spent some time working on my fingerpicking and singing at the same time & I feel like I've managed to come on quite a way.

I was debating whether to share this as there are a some goofs that I'm not in love with - mainly down to the fact that I still struggle to concentrate on both singing and playing in this way.

I guess I'm still proud of it though, last week I could barely do a single verse without either the singing or playing going wrong!

Lyrics

There are things in this life I
Would rather not sacrifice
You girl I cannot live without
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you

And I don't mind losing sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
I'll get plenty rest so when I'm dead but 'till
'Till then won't you share my bed 'cos
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

And I don't mind losing money
There's nothing this life owes me
I've been given more than I can receive
But for, for you there's no receipt so

All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

And I don't mind growing old
Losing teeth and going bald
Not as handsome as I never was but
You love me just because
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

Thanks for listening!

Fantastic song and beautiful rendition. You did great on both finger picking and singing. All in sync. Thank you for sharing. Keep the music alive.
Peace and love !!!

Thanks very much @atulmittal

As someone that used to try to cover a lot of JBT, I know how hard that is. And you did it nearly flawlessly! Great job and keep up the good work!

Hey @killak, I appreciate your words of encouragement :)

You did a superb job!

I'm glad you thought so @reneenouveau. I'm getting there, slowly!

I really like this style of playing, and can appreciate the intricacies of playing this way and singing along!

I can only imagine that it's how playing the piano & singing is like @morodiene. I've developed a new appreciation for that!

Yes, it's probably very similar, and if I have a choice, I don't like to do it because both my singing and my playing suffer a little. ;)
