"To Give" - new cover song live

Hmm..
For some reason I just envision a bloated, sweaty Elvis with his eyelids clenched half in passion and the other half in diabetes. It just sounds to me like he's trying to make this a cliched swansong for himself, and it's only ever gonna sound tacky if it's done with fake strings. If he wants to record a definitive showstopper - his personal "My Way" - then he's going to have to go all out.

But, maybe I have to listen to this a few more times to better digest it.
He does a good job singing it, and it is a surprisingly excellent recording.
Thank you for providing it.
 
His voice sounds fine on this; it's just that the band is so paint-by-numbers. He really needs some finesse out of his band, but I'm not sure they can deliver.

You don't have to be a dick about it.
 
Morrissey's version was kindly uploaded to youtube:



Perfect. I love the way his voice breaks when he switches registers, or I guess it's called octaves in singing. I love it. (Better than Frankie Valli. :o)

Of course - how dare I speak my thoughts on your forum, let alone speak an ill word against your cosmic boyfriend. Or whatever.
You know what? You're right. I'm sure Morrissey would more appreciate me making a post about how I, a complete stranger, would like to rub my hands all over his sweaty old man torso and lick his happy trail. That wouldn't creep him out at all.

The image of "a bloated, sweaty Elvis with his eyelids clenched half in passion and the other half in diabetes" makes his happy trail a sad trail. :tears: Seriously, you're cockblocking my cosmic boyfriend mind porn with your detailed descriptions. Not to mentioning pissing off the ghost of Elvis, who has guns. :p

Did you like his duet with Celine on American Idol? Elvis's, not Morrissey's.

I missed that. That probably pissed Elvis off too. :D

Why are you so angry? :( All the hate makes me sad.
 


It's really really sad. And not in a good way.

I love Morrissey and all, but this is just the worst kind of maudlin syrupy geriatric crap I've ever heard.

If things get any worse I think we're really gonna have to call it a day.

At any rate, here's the audio from the Youtube clip...

Yep.

Another very valid point. Solo's on fire tonight!

Hey. HEY. You two. Knock it off. Five minutes time out, unless you want me to call your parents.

Amie, sit in the corner. Justin, go sit in the hall.

Thanks for sharing the MP3. Although I personally think Morrissey did a lovely job with the song, I had to smile at the title of Last Gasps that you created for the album title.
You can be quite witty at times, dude! :cool:

What's all this "at times" crap?...

Relax, man, I meant it as a compliment. Most folks wouldn't be creative enough to give the "album" a title like Last Gasps. I like that.

You seem to be quite witty, from the posts I've read of yours, given that I've only been on here a little over a month.:rolleyes:
