Babylon - David Gray (cover) | Alexander Mills

[@siliconalleys]

Before she passed, this was one of my mother's favorite songs by David Grsy. She'd like your version even more. Thanks, dude!!

[@siliconalleys]

Same with my Mom. She had Alzheimers before she passed. This song would pull her out of her funk within seconds. Thanks for this!!

[@hrustik365]

Дорогой Александр Миллс , я не знаю какой такой судьбой мне KZbin в рекомендациях прислал тебя, но черт возьми ты крут и уникален. Спасибо тебе.... С любовью из России!!

[@goofe.washington953]

“Babylon” has deep personal meaning to me, and the vocal in this performance affected me in ways I don’t fully understand. This was magnificent.

[@AlexanderMills]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s personal to me as well. When I was young I was very inspired by David Gray and his songwriting.

[@spar7an268]

Amazing brother

[@AlexanderMills]

Thank you 😊

[@johnjamesmckeogh2388]

Man I love you. Soul... Nothing better than the ones who feel it 🙌

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks John!

[@joelsmith552]

Your ability to manipulate your voice to absolutely nail the vocals you cover is an incredible talent and a blast to witness. The respect and reverence you give to your inspirations is magic. You need to love that which you emulate, and that love is showing. So very good.

[@AlexanderMills]

This is a such a heartwarming and well articulated comment. Thanks for watching and you are absolutely correct. You have to love the song to be able to cover it and have it resonate with people.

[@SupMitchiz]

Amazing stuff :)

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks so much! :)

[@siliconalleys]

[@mikechajecki7323]

@@AlexanderMills I've been checking out your other videos, every cover I hit it's a 10/10 dude! I don't know how you got the studio setup in that car but hey, made it work! Cheers dude.

[@s.f.morris7331]

answers my question on whether or not you knew anything from David Gray. he has so many amazing songs. Hold on to Nothing! Forever is Tomorrow! Nightblindness! Disappearing World! Nemesis! Fugitive!

[@AlexanderMills]

Fugitive is such a banger! Glad to know a fellow David Gray fan!

[@cosmodave]

Lovely version of a lovely tune. You're a machine! If I could make a request for you it would be Honey and the Moon by Joseph Arthur. Would love to hear your take on that gem.

[@AlexanderMills]

I will see if I can ✌🏾😊

[@mattdm11]

Seconded - that or In The Sun!!!

[@gabrielasuarez6939]

😍Great Alex ❣👏👏👏

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks Gabby 😊

[@mrmelt9835]

Good version of this I usually don't like people that murder the originals but you haven't top notch bro

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks so much! I’m glad I didn’t murder it 😅 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾

[@ryansoares3634]

Nice cover

[@AlexanderMills]

Thank you 😊

[@EvanCoughlin1989]

Great Cover!

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks Evan! 🙏🏾

[@philward9093]

Great job. I forgot how great a song that is. Thanks

[@AlexanderMills]

It’s an awesome song for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@cresonma]

Dude great job. How did you learn to play and sing at the same time?

[@AlexanderMills]

I never really sang at all until 18. I only sang so I could write my own songs. I only knew I had a decent voice at my high school graduation. I would say I’m still learning how. I’ve had over 10 years practice. So yeah. I think if you practised that much it should be easy ✌🏾

[@cresonma]

I can sing and I can play guitar. It's both at the same time I struggle with.

[@alphasalazar2490]

what picks do you use? It’s cool, if you don’t want to say :)

[@AlexanderMills]

I use the orange dunlop pics most of the time. To me they are the best. I'm paid to say so. I just think they are the best haha.

[@mattdm11]

2nd great cover in a row.....come to Cleveland, I'll come pay to watch you cover some tunes! How about "Home" by Duncan Sheik? :)

[@AlexanderMills]

I would love to travel to America. I haven't in a long time. I will get back there one day.

[@esaumel]

Amazing

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks ✌🏾

[@karolismic]

So much soul! You're an inspiration, keep it up brother 🙌

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks so much! Will do. Trying my best 🙏🏾

[@elliotmoore5329]

Would love a tutorial for this

[@elliotmoore5329]

And what tuning are you using ?

[@AlexanderMills]

I'm just in standard and the riff is like an Amajor/Dmajor pull off thingy I do that creates the notes for the main riff. If you watch carefully or maybe slow the video down in half you could probably pick it.

[@martinlow8309]

Let's hear a noah kahan number from you mate. Stick seasons. I'd love to hear you sing and play that brother

[@AlexanderMills]

I will get to it 🙌🏾

[@martinlow8309]

Top man. Can wait to hear it bro

[@martinlow8309]

Can't

[@hornth40]

Wonderful playing and singing! But I am sure you could sing this even better.

[@AlexanderMills]

Thanks! Yea most of the time I try not to obsess over singing the absolute best. I’m mostly trying to connect emotionally first and foremost above technical performance. Thanks for watching still. Appreciate your comment. 🙏🏾
