Of course, it helps to have a voice like hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that one while I was searching through youtube for AL (I was checking out keys for the male singers, but just happened to stumble across some cool female singers).

Members C70man Posted March 19, 2008 Members Share Posted March 19, 2008 You know, I got so carried away with the song, I forgot about the reason for the post....sorry.. I have to continually remind myself that a song is not a battle to see how many notes you can kill in 3 minutes....Your example is the absolute best way of proving that point.

Eva's shredding through her arrangement. Her approach is very tasteful and it actually includes the chords! I think it's another good example of how great songs can work with many different arranging styles. When I think of the song, I think of the empty branches though some may think of piles of leaves. The original lyrics in French have a different feel and bring up different imagery ... and maybe different approaches to arranging. Just thinking out loud here ... I wonder how lyrics can influence arrangments? I guess you could do a happy-go-lucky upbeat version of Autumn Leaves, especially if the lyrics weren't sung.

Members LiveMusic Posted March 19, 2008 Members Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, if the first girl ever hears Eva Cassidy's version, she'll throw away her guitar. And might quit singing. I didn't care for the first girl's one note plucking. That's a bit too sparse, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted March 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 Who is that? What a great voice. I love her tone. Mishal Moore. Just found her clicking through youtube. She's probably got a few more vids and a myspace page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Verence Posted March 20, 2008 Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 I like it. A beautiful rendition of the song. Variety in is always good. I don't want all musicians to try for amazing, complex FEATS of musical prowess. A minimalist approach is refreshing and welcome now and then.

I have loved Eva's version since the moment i first heard it and expect i always will consider it one of the very best recorded performances of the piece. It is somber and contemplative and the way she plays with the melody a bit is unique. All that and some very nice guitar work to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phlat Phive Posted March 20, 2008 Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 Beautiful singing. Some chords would have been nice though. Where does she live? I'll play them if she wants. We'll be rich and famous. When I'm rich and famous, I'm buying all of you beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gregg535 Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks for posting that clip. I only have slow dial-up so it takes just about forever to check video out, but that was worth the wait; especially once she gets into the second half of the song. A nice simple intimate performance.

Of course, it helps to have a voice like hers. Great find. The funny thought I had from her video is that she covers this as a Nat King Cole song, and that her equipment recording quality is not super good; the result sounds like an older vinyl record from Nat's time.... She has a great basic voice; I hope that as a young woman she can get into voice lessons and develop her natural gift; it is also good to see young people understanding some of the wonderful music of the past. The Eva Cassidy video is incredible. What I call "smokey bar room music" is my favorite. Arizona Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
