Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on I never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going oh-so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on

This band speeds up. I counted the intro tempo at around 174 BPM and towards the end it increases to around 192 BPM; no wonder she has difficulty phrasing the words. The musical director should know better and needs to rein in this tendency to 'race' the song. This band has lots of potential but needs to control their tempos so that they sit "in the pocket"

[@Propellerschrauber]

Erstklassig !!! Auch wenn der Gesang meinem Geschmack nach zu sehr dominiert. Einziger objektiver Kritikpunkt: Das Musikstück ist zu kurz.

[@britandlauriebarr2352]

Smelling smoke? It's just these kids burning the house down!

[@giovanniuscidda5650]

🔝

[@betheblessing206]

Chess and this on my first loves..

[@buddylee19082]

I feel like this song could be SO much better if the tempo were just brought down several measures..? At any rate this is by far the best version I've heard here on KZbin.

[@gabrielguzman9646]

Grimmy Hendrix several measures? You mean just slowed down to a different tempo

[@buddylee19082]

@@gabrielguzman9646 No, I meant what I said... Several measures. If you have a better term for describing MEASUREMENTS of tempo please feel free to enlighten me?... otherwise take your semantics and FUCK OFF.

[@gabrielguzman9646]

Grimmy Hendrix yeah in music is called slowing it down, or just saying a slower BPM, when you refer to measures you aren’t being specific, no need to get mad

[@v.dargain1678]

I wish Delphia and her Deltones would make a video singing this It's a really upbeat tune .

[@jeffhoward5910]

[@user-bm7nw1vc7q]

지휘자 이름 알려 주세요 😍

[@zevnikov]

Matej Hotko

[@antares8341]

Raiven?

[@zevnikov]

It is her artistic name ;)

[@benabbottguitar]

A little further and the camera would have been up her nose

[@lisabelikova]

Well for my taste she is yelling too much 🙂 and her look confirm she is a rock singer 🙃

[@savvyola7990]

Well they are obviously accomplished musicians but this version is too frantic and the poor girl can hardly phrase the words properly. The band is totally overplaying. It's a classic mistake made by many jazz bands. Ballads played too fast and swingers played too slow. Listen to the original version and recording, then try and understand where the composer was coming from and respect that with your version. Better still, listen to the Count Basie Orchestra for the gold standard in swing. I cringe every time I hear a slow ballad, such as Autumn Leaves, played up tempo. Blue Skies was written as a light, jaunty and positive song. This band is trying to hammer you with their message - not working guys!
