🎼Tori Holub - Close To You - (Reaction)

[@BillyClough-eg6dw]

I will say what you want to say . Tori was Karen Carpenter in her past life and The Lord new that we needed her songs of joy and love in this world of today. Loved Karen my whole life and saw them in 1976 and got to meet Karen and Richard. At that time I was a young drummer and stopped playing in 1983. RIP KAREN DEAR. LEFT US WAY WAY TO SOON ❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹

KZbin is deleting my comment, Stew. Argh. Original: Hi Stew! Wonderful and emotional reaction, my friend. Tori and Jim certainly knocked this one out of the park. You are not the only one experiencing the waterworks, BTW. I got the shivers the first time I heard this and that last long note, the yoooooouuuuuuu right before the final Whahssssss, was off the charts. Talk about breath control. Amazing. Have you seen her recent Christmas song? Another Carpenters cover it’s only 50 seconds but that’s the same way they did it. I’ll link both if you want to have some Christmas songs. Tori has, now, 4 Christmas songs that are full length. Only this little one is a video. It’s Christmas Time: Tori version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZeagYGKoZqAZs0si=awFjWJII2ThNz1d8 Carpenters version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npaygH2obpmAjcksi=AGp989XDfz0QvRVk I’ll check your playlist. Since you started in May this is your first Season with Tori. If you haven’t yet I’ll comment below this with the other tunes. Well done man, go make a cup of tea. Joe

OK Stew, It seems to be holding now so I’ll try adding the Christmas EP (LOL) here. 4 songs is an EP, right? These three are all audio only. The first two were recorded in a professional studio in Ohio in 2022, she’s 19. Merry Christmas, Darling: kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_kS68cNTNp8Oo6pI2FM-ikXkF8oYvHo8iM&si=AaX9t9WpyHvLbw_e Note that the above and next are in Lauren’s topic channel. Take a gander at her third track there, also. 😊 My Christmas Dreams: kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_mcrx3nRa2uu6ZiZ2gQUk_RaLj1ZUZtndY&si=m_9WKn-26Y15ndsP Christmas Again: kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_kNO2PLpKMWVbH970gXC7YW-hKOsyDx1a0&si=Ied0ujmZ6xSU0Zzq Of note to this on are the writers and their story. This is Tori’s first original song. Steve Eaton and Donnie Demers are the cowriters. They wrote the song earlier but had no voice. Then last year a friend sent them a Tori short video. They found their voice! They approached her and she was honored. Of extra note is, Steve Eaton. He wrote the song; All You Get From Love Is A Love Song, for Carpenters and it was one of their last Top 40 hits. Steve had personal experience with a great voice. 😊 All three songs are on iTunes and all the big streamers. I sense a patented Stew: Christmas w/Tori Special in the works ❤😂 Have fun! BTW, I notice Georgia On My Mind isn’t on the playlist. Another banger (audio) produced and piano by Chris May who also played the piano on “It’s Christmas Time” which I linked in the main post. Read the notes Tori wrote on that one. Joe

Hi Stew! Surprise! I'm sorry I've been out of touch for a little while but been working on my health and maybe some good things happening. I hope you're doing well and glad to see that Tori has made you emotional as she does me sometimes. Both Tori and Jim create masterpieces together and this is certainly one of them. This definitely brings me back to my youth in the '70s when all I heard practically was Carpenter's on the radio. I think I appreciate them more now than I did then as we realize in these days, there is not much real music. Yet Tori and Jim create the music that we are lacking in this era. Great job with your reaction and let's touch base soon.

@@StewReacts-1964 my pleasure. There are currently 4 Tori Christmas songs with one being the new video. Short in length but the full song just as Carpenters did it. Two are on Tori’s channel two on Lauren Ravas’ topic channel.
