Steemit Open Mic Week 97 - Take Me To Church (cover)

in #openmic6 years ago

Hey there steemians!

This is my first cover EVER. This open mic contest has really helped me reach new limits, and I'm happy to just keep on pushing!

I don't really consider myself a singer but more like an all-around musician. This was a fun thing to do, and I might keep uploading some covers along the way. I'm open to suggestions :)

Enjoy!

Great cover 😊😍

It's incredible what this Steemit Open Mic thing is doing! So many talented people less known than they deserve..
I love your voice, it's so peaceful and warm and more than that..imagine that I've never liked this song but now listening to your cover I love it! It can be easily noticed that you feel everything you are singing and that gives me a lot of emotion..Heartiest congratulations! :)

Sweet vocals! There is quite a range on this song.

I keep trying to listen deeper in the lyrics, a lot like REM, 'Losing my Religion' is not about any church but about worshipping women, I think this song is going in the opposite direction, idolizing a particular woman and the connection that he can have with her.

Philosophically I don't think sex is a satisfying replacement to true spiritual deepening, and so it hurts me when a song like this gets so popular, I worry that some people might not look deeper and will have to find out for themselves, the hard way, that the type of relationship portrayed in this song is unhealthy, for both parties.

Keep singing, keep them coming, you are amazingly talented at music!

Hey yoanhobos
You see how contests can expose you to some kind of new experience that can catch you up, and you enjoy it.

And it is more applicable with music.
Open-mic.

Ooh nice job! Really not an easy song to play or sing- let alone play and sing! I love the tone of your voice, and really enjoyed listening to it in this deeper register... I am right that it's deeper than the original aren't I? Or is that just your lovely voice making it sound like that?

Anyway, I'm following and I'm really looking forward to hearing more of your music - you've inspired me to get back to my guitar (or... get (!) a guitar as I sold mine last year - eek!)

@juanhobos This is a tough song to sing and you pulled it off so well! Keep pushing yourself and you will see some amazing results. This was a fabulous cover for your first one ever! I hope to see many more from you!

Keep singing, brother...
You sound great!

Wow, me encantó. Excelente cover. Amo esta canción con mi vida.
