Chilled acoustic cover of Erasure”s A Little Respect

[@robbbbbie12]

Great version. I know Erasure and its band members achieved massive success, I think sometimes the fact that they(and other 80’s pop bands) were making pop / electronic / dance music, they did not get as much recognition as they should have as “serious” singer/songwriters. I think your acoustic version highlights what a beautiful song they wrote.

[@MrNeilbanks]

Thanks very much

[@pauljvan253]

Great tone, and beautifully executed vocal dynamics. Lovely rendition.

I tried to discover A little something to make me sweeter Oh baby, refrain From breaking my heart I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you gave me no reason You know you're making me work so hard That you give me no, that you give me no That you give me no, that you give me no soul I hear you calling Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me) Give a little respect to me And if I should falter Would you open your arms out to me? We can make love, not war And live with peace in our hearts I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover? Don't you tell me no, don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no, don't you tell me no soul I hear you calling Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me) Give a little respect to me I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason You know you're making me work so hard That you give me no, that you give me no That you give me no, that you give me no soul I hear you calling Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me) Give a little respect to me I hear you calling Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me) Give a little respect to me

Nailed it. Had the Erasure cassette in the late 80's as I headed off to college. Even gave new copies as gifts several times as it was a magnificent album. LOVE this version...fabulous, Neil.
