There’s no emotion…. Editing the secondary vocals are a hack move. The instruments did a great job.

Audra your vocals are 100 percent phenomenal and you rock guys ❤️❤️❤️

Omg this is one of my all time favorite songs from back in the day!! You rocked it!! Awesome job!

Weird Al should have done a parody of this song.

[@user-uq7jm4ix1n]

Lol 😅...

[@chiragchatterjee4011]

It's really hard to put out a Michael Stipe song as a female vocalist.But Audra,you nailed it perfectly.

[@413xxx86]

Naw it was lifeless. No vocal inflection and flat…. Sorry but she did a D- in the whole thing. Layering the highs towards the end only made it less special. It was a flat experience. Listen to the first one and compare the vocals. The instruments were on point…

[@chiragchatterjee4011]

@@413xxx86 I heard the original version many times before....but Audra really nailed it... A Michael Stipe song is already very hard for a female vocalist as the vocal ranges contradict(baritone to contralto, mezzo-soprano,soprano)...despite the difficulties Audra made it her own.

[@OmegaII]

Good softer acoustic cover, agreed. If you want to hear a good(IMO) cover in the opposite direction, Lacuna Coil did one..

[@kiwichrix]

Wonderful. Always fantastic to hear a song with deep and meaningful lyrics. Great husky vocals by Audra and brilliant to see Sam smiling and driving the song along because this song's backbone is truly the percussion rhythm.

[@cesardelcastilloyurrita9344]

Fantastic comment. You perceive sensitive details, husky vocals and rhythmic driving smile and at the same time you sense that the lyrics contain deep meanings. Could you share what you think they mean?

[@velixzeen]

I get shivers on the low vocal notes, lol.

[@kiwichrix]

Thanks for your compliments. If I don't immediately understand what a song is about, I either listen to it a few times or look up the lyrics and read them separately or look at the lyrics while I listen to the song again. If I still don't fully understand what a song is fully about, I type in "[insert song name] lyrics meaning" into Google and either read a music website or the Wikipedia article on the song. If you look up the original song on Wikipedia, you will find out like I did that "losing my religion" is a southern US expression meaning losing one's civility and this is song is about unrequited love.

[@cesardelcastilloyurrita9344]

@@kiwichrix Thanks for your detailed explanation. One of the qualities that I most appreciate about Art is its interactive nature. When someone perceives a work created by another, they can recreate it in their own way according to their imagination, sensitivity and subjective emotions. In a way, this connection can awaken creativity in the other person who is no longer a mere passive spectator. We see a very clear example in the work of the actors. The same script can be interpreted very differently by each actor who, if he is good at his job, knows how to reinterpret the role, bringing his own vision to the character, his way of living it and making it believable. It happens in all forms of artistic expression and of course in music. That's why I love many F211 Covers, because they are not a strict copy of the original but rather they arrange and reinterpret the songs with their personal touch. And that is why I do not read the comments that only applaud and do not contribute anything of their subjective perception and instead I value opinions like yours in which you shared details of how you perceived this Cover by R.E.M. But that creative reinterpretation can not only refer to formal details of how you feel their music, but also about the meaning of their lyrics. Obviously the first step is always to try to understand what the author means, and if it seems confusing or too encrypted, it is advisable to resort to Google or personal interviews in which the author explains specifically what he is trying to say with his song. But then one can understand it from one's own perspective according to one's own ideas and experiences. That's why I was asking you if you had any additional interpretation to what Wikipedia provides according to what it could mean for you,

[@kiwichrix]

@@cesardelcastilloyurrita9344 I don't have any additional interpretation over what the original R.E.M. songwriters intended - that is how I generally enjoy songs because it is getting to know the singer/band a little bit more because they wrote the song to share their feelings about something. Yes, I agree art can be interpreted in different ways. Some songs are overinterpreted - the most famous example I can think of is the Beatles' "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" (this overintepretation annoyed John Lennon) and some songs are misinterpreted - the most famous example I can think of is Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA". This said, if a song particularly resonates with a personal experience then I would sing it with the memories of the personal experience that the song matches or at least listen to the song with the memories of the personal experience.

[@jeffschielka7845]

Great cover! Very well done. Audra your vocals are incredible!👍😎

[@madison203]

Audra, at 3:04, I loved your added background vocals! You are amazing! Matt, Ryan, and Sam, as always, you nailed it! Great cover…

[@joseferreira8734]

Já vou direto no like porque sei que de lá vem coisa boa, vocês nunca nos decepciona.👌👌

[@cesardelcastilloyurrita9344]

Oh my God! You guys are playing My Song. Maybe because by losing my religion I discovered a living god in someone's eyes? Oh no. I have said too much... Definitely, the life that excites and can be felt is bigger than any idea, no matter how transcendental it pretends to be. PS: I know, that only happens in my feverish imagination. Just a dream. For you guys, you only perform a REM song in, another great F211 cover.

[@jonathannadeau668]

Absolutely amazing. I know you guys are busy with everything, but can you Add more REM songs to your list of songs to cover? Everybody hurts, shiny happy people?

[@buddyzilla4557]

Something to remember is that Ft11 typically has a more upbeat and fast tempoed style to their sound. This is inheritantly a very dark and moody song due to its intent and subject matter. Ft11 has a real navk for taking songs like this and breathing a new life into them as a cover should be. Rathaer than moaning how the vocals werent a carbon copy of the orgional, perhaps respect the accomplishment made through this different iteration. I feel its still respectful to the source materials intent. Not everyone feels things or expresses things the exact same way and I am still convinced by Audra's version that she could be going through the strife this song recognizes. It isnt to say that anyones feelings are less real or deep because of how they feel or how it comes out in their voice as they do. Individuality can be diverse but still recognizable and valid. This is not an upbeat cover by any means but it does create a different and less moody feel for people who still can appreciate what it evokes who dint nessisarily resonate with the extremes the orgional went to. If i wanted to listen to the origional..I would and do. This is a great job and it saddens me to see comments about how Audra was too flat or just saying she was good through conparisons to the vocal talent of the origional. Doing this is hard also because it is a very PERSONAL song whete the writer was in a very specific headspace and able to express that idnivdual spave in his own way. Recreating that without sheer mimicry is a true emotional talent by both the vocalist and accompanying isntrumentalists. Kudos guys! I can't speak for everyone, but i think you nailed it. 💛

[@Jollyroger84103]

In anticipation for the Scott Pilgram anime coming this Friday, this is attempt 25 of asking for a studio cover of Black Sheep by Metric

[@NotGeri]

For the longest time, I thought Lacona Coil's version was the original, so hearing one that's closer to the original was wild to me! But I have to say, I really like you guys' cover; well done!! 🔥

[@jonw0224]

First, I asked myself, "Who is Lacona Coil?" I looked it up. Then I realized that REM released the original song in 1991. And I was young then, but still old enough to have fond memories of it. Then I remembered that I'm starting to get old 😆 Yes, this rendition is truer to the original and F211 did a great job on it!

[@abracadan]

ALWAYS CLASSY! Love your covers!! Rock On! 🎉😎😎😎

[@The_Etchaleon]

who ever is choosing these songs has very nice taste & knows your rythem

[@DangerPinsX]

I was literally searching for a decent cover of this two weeks ago and F211 comes in clutch with an excellent rendition!

[@SvRijswijck]

This is an amazing cover of a very hard song to get right, double as hard as a female singer. The intonation behind the vocals is perfect, adding the correct later behind the words. I specifically liked the way the line "that brought me to my knees" is sung, the small hint of shame in there is perfection.

[@nataliefletcher]

Loving this era of putting out covers of older songs!! You guys are doing them justice, which most covers don't tend to

[@kingzach74]

Damn okay this is my favorite cover of yours so far. All the little added vocalizations are a REALLY nice touch!

[@playerzero404]

Audra just nailed those backing vocals, and all the little changes in the instrumentals are great, amazing work guys!

[@javiermunoz7391]

Really beautiful cover as always, great vocals and instrumentals. It would be awesome if you could cover more from RHCP (besides Californication, Scar Tissue and Under The Bridge)

[@Neetizenid]

📌 Losing My Religion. R.E.M (Liric) Oh life is bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no I've said too much I set it up That's me in the corner That's me in the spot-light Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try Every whisper, of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Trying to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no I've said too much I set it up Consider this Consider this the hint of the century Consider this the slip That brought me to my knees, failed What if all these fantasies come Flailing around Now I've said too much I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream That was just a dream That's me in the corner That's me in the spot-light Losing my religion Trying to keep up with you And I don't know if I can do it Oh no I've said too much I haven't said enough I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try But that was just a dream Try, cry, fly, try That was just a dream Just a dream Just a dream, dream

Your voice is perfect for this song! Love it!! 🤩

[@KartunSimpleCartoon]

saya penasaran dan saya tanya bing copilot, ternyata o ternyata ini to maksud sebenarnya ^_^ : "Lagu "Losing My Religion" oleh R.E.M. sering disalahpahami sebagai lagu yang berhubungan dengan agama, tetapi sebenarnya bukan¹³. Frasa "losing my religion" adalah ungkapan dari bagian selatan Amerika Serikat yang berarti "mencapai ujung tali" atau "kehilangan kesabaran" atau "kehilangan kesopanan"¹³. Menurut Michael Stipe, vokalis R.E.M., lagu ini sebenarnya tentang ekspresi romantis³. Menurut Mike Stipe dari R.E.M., makna lagu ini secara resmi adalah tentang cinta yang tidak terbalas, artinya cinta yang tidak dibalas². Ini adalah lagu yang cukup sedih dan memiliki perasaan yang sangat kesepian²."
