This Guy's In Love With You - Burt Bacharach / Herb Alpert (Acoustic Cover)

A classic masterwork of a song composed by the colossal talent that is Burt Bacharach. This was first released as a song sung by Herb Alpert in 1968, but the definitive version for me is the cover that Noel Gallagher of Oasis did live in 1996 at the London Festival Hall.

THAT takes me back! My Mom played Bacharach songs ALL the time! 🥰

[@descendingstaircase]

That's awesome that you were listening to great music growing up!

[@lady_draguliana784]

@@descendingstaircase yep! RIP Mom! ❤☺

Wow! I'm impressed ... pulling out the Bacharach! LOVE it. Great job on this acoustic cover, a true classic. :)

[@descendingstaircase]

Thanks! I'm glad it came together pretty well. Didn't want to do such a great tune a disservice.

[@timothyrowland1501]

Thanks for listening!

Loved it ❤

[@descendingstaircase]

Thank you so much! This is one of my fav covers I've done so far.

I'm really enjoying your performances and although I like the songs you do that I'm not so familiar with, I do love the timeless classics and Bacharach wrote many. Of course I am 63 bloody years old! so perhaps you can forgive me? 😂 I am retired living alone very happily in a very quiet small town on the west coast of Thailand. I am Australian.. but not very?? I have shared some of your stuff with friends and my daughters.. they all love you too! ❤ I just write this to hopefully encourage you! One of the very best things we can do in life is contribute to the happiness of others as well as ourselves. Your lovely voice and really really nice feel on the guitar does this perhaps more than you realize! Please keep it up i and many others appreciate the quite different, very real, very moving takes you do on these songs. I will continue to spread the word and thank you so much for the feel good moments you are sharing. 🙏🙏🥰😊 Rob. Just another one you may find interesting if you haven't already .. if only for the lyrics .. Sam Fender ' Hypersonic Missiles. Listen twice.. its a great piece of songwriting and unfortunately perhaps more relevant with every passing day! 🙈🙉🙊

[@RC60669]

'HURT - LIVE TOMMY EMMANUEL ' Johnny Cash version hard to beat but think you will love the Guitar in this live stage performance.. and in your ballpark I reckon? Nb Tommy is seriously top of the food chain guitar player.. not really known at all for singing?? 🤫🤔😊 Check him out 🤙

[@descendingstaircase]

@@RC60669 Wow thank you for all of that especially sharing my stuff to family and friends. Actually covering "Hypersonic Missiles" has been in the plans! I just need to figure out how to tailor it to suit my own voice and styles. Definite a great track!

[@descendingstaircase]

@@RC60669 Thanks for the recommendation I'll check out Tommy Emmanuel. But yeah "Hurt" is also a gem of a song; and the Cash version definitely stepped it up a few notches from the Nine Inch Nails original. Even Trent Reznor says so LOL
