Open Mic Week 41 'Losing My Religion' R.E.M. Cover!

in #openmic7 years ago (edited)

Hey everyone,

I've not been very active this past week, my tablet broke! The one device I can record videos and surf the Internet with is bust. So I bought a beat up Ipad for cheap from my friend @pevitar, but I don't know how long it's gonna last, it's working alright for the meantime... The video quality is not very good, but the audio is fine. 

Ughhh. It's really depressing weather in the North of England at the moment. Gloomy, grey and wet. And the value of all our hard-earned Steem was reduced quite dramatically yesterday.. So here's a song to fit the mood quite perfectly...! Enjoy.

Very nice. Upped, resteemed, and followed.

Thank you mate, I still need to listen to your Leonard Cohen cover, I love that song and used to play it myself! Will try listen to it today.

nice cover, followed, upvoted, resteemed

Thanks so much my friend, gonna have a listen to yours today.

Nice one mate! Great song well played and very soulful and from the heart. I can't imagine it would have sounded much better when it first emerged from Stipe himself and (probably) an acoustic guitar. 👍

Thank you mate, I never really thought about the lyrics before because it's one of those songs that I just know from growing up in the 90s, but now I'm singing it I realise how relevant they are to me in my life right now..! So I can really get behind the song.

You sound AMAZING!!!! (Upvoted and re-steemed)

Aww thank you so much. :D

Sounds great mate. Quality guitar

Thanks buddy, has it been raining in York too?

Big time rain! Big time

IT SUCKS! Been sulking all day!

At least the plants are happy :D

Oooh yes, one of my favorites! You sound great!!!

Thank you my dear!

I'm bookmarking this one to listen to later!

Weather's been pretty bad here too. Part of my house got flooded again last night due to heavy rains. Luckily it was just the two rooms with tiles this time, so it wasn't too hard to clean up.

Oh no, so sorry to hear that, I thought I had reason to be depressed... Rain is the worst, it never fails to bring me down. I just read your post, I like how your plans went from cleaning and playing black desert, to just playing black desert.. xD hahaha. Music is cheering me up right now, I'm listening to Editors 'In Dreams', it is the most amazing album I've heard for years. Maybe it would cheer you up too if you could stream it. =)

Rain is okay sometimes when I want it to water the garden, but I think it should calm the heck down. Too many heavy rains these last years to stress me out. I'll be so happy once this house sells. I'll hopefully be able to put it on the market in a few months.

Yeaaaah, I was so tired, I didn't feel like cleaning at all! Then I walked around on bare feet and stepped on random stuff on the floor and decided I should atleast vacuum... After that, I basically had a Netflix day.

I've not been listening to music much at all lately, maybe I should try to get back into the habit. There's usually enough noise here when my boyfriend's home with his pc always wanting to get ready for liftoff and he always enjoys gaming with sound on. I enjoy my peace and quiet, so when I'm home alone, sounds are almost always turned off (and my pc is quiet as a mouse!). Music does cheer me up though, so it's a good idea! I will add the 'In Dream' album to my to try list in Spotify! If I remember, I'll listen to it tomorrow (which is also when I'll listen to your song). Thanks for the suggestion!

Well done yet again! I really like this song, but I hadn't heard it in a while. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Editors sound good! I did just switch back to Poets of the Fall though, they are really good aswell :-)

Did you get kicked out of the bathroom???
Great job Brother, your voice really suits thus one!

Haha, felt like a change of scenery. And as it's a cover. ;) Thanks man!

You're welcome

You go dude! Sing it! You sound like a star already! :D @clintjunior

Thank you homey G! sips on a blunt xD

You sound great singing this song. Nice one.

Thanks a lot! People always say I sound like Michael Stipe so I decided to learn one of his songs, been busking it on the street too and people seem to like it. :)

Amazing , my favorite song , thanks , you did it great my friend.

Thanks David, haven't heard your Nirvana cover yet!

Sounding good, enjoyed your performance.

Thanks Luke, gonna have a listen at you today, I notice you've done a few songs that I do too, like Dead Flowers Townes Van Zandt style, and Don't Think Twice It's Alright - Looking forward to it!

Great as always Clinton good luck in the Openmic this week.

Yaaay! I notice you've entered the openmic, I look forward to listening to that soon. =)

Yes, I thought I'd get my feet wet. Openmic seems to be growing fast with a lot of good talent, I really like the idea. Maybe something similar for Music Videos would be a good idea as well. Or even a comedy Openmic or Literary Reading Openmic or Photography Openmic? Getting carried away here but SteemIt has so much potential!

Haven't heard this song in such a long time! You do it really well. Can't help with the weather or steem value. Just ride them both out and better days are yet to come. :)

Very cool!

Wheres the cheeky little monkey at;)
hes there but hes not making a lot of noise 🙊🙈 ❤

This one would be on my playlist if SteemIt had playlists.
