American Tune - Oliver Pesch (Paul Simon Cover)

[@ianman15]

Mr. Simon would be proud of this rendition of a lost classic.

[@colinguthrie4634]

Have spent so long trying to get this song which is a difficult song to get right….. have watched Paul’s live version on Parkinson a huge number of times….there is something so powerful and beautiful about this composition and Paul’s painfully sad delivery……I read that it is a protest song by some ordinary guy crushed by Watergate and Vietnam and incompetence in all areas of the government at the time…….I don’t have the voice or guitar skill to do it justice but I have enjoyed every second of trying……you have performed an incredible version and have inspired me ….well done

[@oliverpeschmusic]

Thanks so much Colin. I didn't know it was directly related to watergate, but once you know the correlation is not to be mistaken. Thanks for you comment!

[@mpct5011]

Wow! You actually sound a lot like Paul Simon. Nice job!

[@oliverpeschmusic]

Thanks so much!

[@bcthomas2h90]

Excellent version of this timeless song!

[@jimnoakes9394]

Beautifuly done

[@joewenborne229]

Great cover. The best I've heard. Congratulations

[@oliverpeschmusic]

Thanks Joe! That’s a huge compliment 🙏🏼

[@FreeSpirit1962]

Fantastic! You have a beautiful voice. This song brings me to tears. It fits so perfectly for where we’re at right now. At 61, it tears my heart out. I think most people know what I mean.

[@eamonnmorris5331]

This song is a masterpiece. It has haunted me since the Nixon era (for which it was written), but it completely comes into its own in the Trump era, At 68. I know what you mean!

[@davidb5659]

This is a beautiful rendition. Oliver’s voice has a quality somewhat reminiscent of Paul Simon’s as it was in 1973. It’s about time that this exquisite tune be rediscovered by a new generation.

[@lw216316]

Wow, a song from the 70s that is as much relevant today. Also, "What the world needs now is Love" - Jackie deShannon.

[@ukestudio3002]

Wow ! Wonderfully done, wonderfully recorded ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@brianstaugust]

OMG, you have both a terrific voice and an equally sensitive heart, my friend. Your cover of Paul's iconic song is exactly what he intended ... You are wonderful. Here is wishing you all the luck in sharing your music with the Globe ....

Wonderfully covered Oliver! I covered this song back when I was performing in little bars and pubs in Dallas Texas. It was an audience favorite along with "the boxer".

Hello Oliver, Is it possible for you to play "You've got a friend" ? , Version James Taylor. It'd be nice, I'm sure.

A good recommendation. I’ll try and squeeze it in in the upcoming weeks

Wow. I adore this song and you have outdone yourself. I know this might be sacrilege but like your version even more than the great Paul Simon. (Check out Eva Cassidy). You are up there with the best! Gorgeous voice and performance.

[@oliverpeschmusic]

Hi Mia! That’s very good to hear. What a compliment :)

[@timtheenchanterguitar]

Beautiful! I have several S&G covers on my channel but have not yet attempted this one. Not only is your playing and singing great, the sound quality is also fantastic. If you have any tips on that please let me know.

[@oliverpeschmusic]

Just be sure to check out a lot of live video's to see how Paul plays his exact voicings. Though I'm not even sure whether I copied it precisely, I think the beauty of his arrangements lies in the subtleties which are often lost in translation. Thanks for the comment Tim!
