    • @413xxx86

      Naw it was lifeless. No vocal inflection and flat….
      Sorry but she did a D- in the whole thing. Layering the highs towards the end only made it less special.
      It was a flat experience.
      Listen to the first one and compare the vocals.
      The instruments were on point…

      @@413xxx86 I heard the original version many times before....but Audra really nailed it... A Michael Stipe song is already very hard for a female vocalist as the vocal ranges contradict(baritone to contralto, mezzo-soprano,soprano)...despite the difficulties Audra made it her own.

    Wonderful. Always fantastic to hear a song with deep and meaningful lyrics. Great husky vocals by Audra and brilliant to see Sam smiling and driving the song along because this song's backbone is truly the percussion rhythm.

      Thanks for your compliments. If I don't immediately understand what a song is about, I either listen to it a few times or look up the lyrics and read them separately or look at the lyrics while I listen to the song again.
      If I still don't fully understand what a song is fully about, I type in "[insert song name] lyrics meaning" into Google and either read a music website or the Wikipedia article on the song.
      If you look up the original song on Wikipedia, you will find out like I did that "losing my religion" is a southern US expression meaning losing one's civility and this is song is about unrequited love.

      Thanks for your detailed explanation. One of the qualities that I most appreciate about Art is its interactive nature. When someone perceives a work created by another, they can recreate it in their own way according to their imagination, sensitivity and subjective emotions. In a way, this connection can awaken creativity in the other person who is no longer a mere passive spectator. We see a very clear example in the work of the actors. The same script can be interpreted very differently by each actor who, if he is good at his job, knows how to reinterpret the role, bringing his own vision to the character, his way of living it and making it believable. It happens in all forms of artistic expression and of course in music. That's why I love many F211 Covers, because they are not a strict copy of the original but rather they arrange and reinterpret the songs with their personal touch. And that is why I do not read the comments that only applaud and do not contribute anything of their subjective perception and instead I value opinions like yours in which you shared details of how you perceived this Cover by R.E.M. But that creative reinterpretation can not only refer to formal details of how you feel their music, but also about the meaning of their lyrics. Obviously the first step is always to try to understand what the author means, and if it seems confusing or too encrypted, it is advisable to resort to Google or personal interviews in which the author explains specifically what he is trying to say with his song. But then one can understand it from one's own perspective according to one's own ideas and experiences. That's why I was asking you if you had any additional interpretation to what Wikipedia provides according to what it could mean for you,

    • @kiwichrix
      @kiwichrix Před 6 měsíci

      @@cesardelcastilloyurrita9344 I don't have any additional interpretation over what the original R.E.M. songwriters intended - that is how I generally enjoy songs because it is getting to know the singer/band a little bit more because they wrote the song to share their feelings about something.
      Yes, I agree art can be interpreted in different ways. Some songs are overinterpreted - the most famous example I can think of is the Beatles' "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" (this overintepretation annoyed John Lennon) and some songs are misinterpreted - the most famous example I can think of is Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA".
      This said, if a song particularly resonates with a personal experience then I would sing it with the memories of the personal experience that the song matches or at least listen to the song with the memories of the personal experience.

    This is an amazing cover of a very hard song to get right, double as hard as a female singer.

  • @buddyzilla4557
    @buddyzilla4557 Před 6 měsíci +3

    Something to remember is that Ft11 typically has a more upbeat and fast tempoed style to their sound. This is inheritantly a very dark and moody song due to its intent and subject matter. Ft11 has a real navk for taking songs like this and breathing a new life into them as a cover should be. Rathaer than moaning how the vocals werent a carbon copy of the orgional, perhaps respect the accomplishment made through this different iteration. I feel its still respectful to the source materials intent. Not everyone feels things or expresses things the exact same way and I am still convinced by Audra's version that she could be going through the strife this song recognizes. It isnt to say that anyones feelings are less real or deep because of how they feel or how it comes out in their voice as they do. Individuality can be diverse but still recognizable and valid. This is not an upbeat cover by any means but it does create a different and less moody feel for people who still can appreciate what it evokes who dint nessisarily resonate with the extremes the orgional went to. If i wanted to listen to the origional..I would and do. This is a great job and it saddens me to see comments about how Audra was too flat or just saying she was good through conparisons to the vocal talent of the origional. Doing this is hard also because it is a very PERSONAL song whete the writer was in a very specific headspace and able to express that idnivdual spave in his own way. Recreating that without sheer mimicry is a true emotional talent by both the vocalist and accompanying isntrumentalists. Kudos guys! I can't speak for everyone, but i think you nailed it. 💛

    📌 Losing My Religion. R.E.M (Liric)
    Oh life is bigger
    It's bigger than you
    And you are not me
    The lengths that I will go to
    The distance in your eyes
    Oh no I've said too much
    I set it up
    That's me in the corner
    That's me in the spot-light
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep up with you
    And I don't know if I can do it
    Oh no I've said too much
    I haven't said enough
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try
    Every whisper, of every waking hour
    I'm choosing my confessions
    Trying to keep an eye on you
    Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
    Oh no I've said too much
    I set it up
    Consider this
    Consider this the hint of the century
    Consider this the slip
    That brought me to my knees, failed
    What if all these fantasies come
    Flailing around
    Now I've said too much
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try
    But that was just a dream
    That was just a dream
    That's me in the corner
    That's me in the spot-light
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep up with you
    And I don't know if I can do it
    Oh no I've said too much
    I haven't said enough
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try
    But that was just a dream
    Try, cry, fly, try
    That was just a dream
    Just a dream
    Just a dream, dream
