Who's Crying Now (Journey vocal cover, all vocals and guitar are me)

I D/L someone's piano version with melody and thought hmm, I'll just sing over this. I did not rehearse anything. Just sang it live for the first time and then massaged a few pitches and resang one short whoooa part and then added the harmonies. I did the harmonies in pairs so one harmony is actually 2 tracks of singing panned left and right. So, 4 vocals plus lead for the harmonies. I didn't know how they'd turn out and when I turned them all on in the mix after singing one at a time with others muted, I was flabbergasted. I was like. ... that is not me. hahaha So, that part.... that turned out really nicely. Not bad for no rehearsal, if I do say so myself

This music is timeless and beautiful that had its time and place and sadly it will never be replicated again. Today's music isn't worth listening to, and listening to covers like this warms my heart.

I tended bar in the “Chances R” in Champaign Illinois through the ‘60’s. REO played there frequently although their “house” was our competitor, the Red Lion. I got to know the guys but Richwrath was a genius. What a thrill to pour beer ten feet from the stage during their appearances. Of course when Azoff split for the coast with REO in tow, the history of music in America changed. Azoff’s impact on music through the ‘70’s and ‘80’s cannot be underestimated. It would make a great book. Larry in Arizona

Very nice...broken down to just the basic elements. Seeing Steve Perry’s latest, I bet he would sing it in much the same manner!

[@chassy]

Very nice rendition of a very nice song. And I love the guitar solo too. Kudos! 👍👍👍

[@TruthSurge]

too kind. thx!

[@marky77777]

And now I see you did Maiden? Lol. You know my first lover ended up doing a female Maiden cover band years later. Takes me back cause she could blaze a 🎸 at 17! And that guitar play OH MY GAWD. That end riff that goes on forever and you hope it never ends. That one. Wow.

[@GhostRider-si6rw]

J'ai découvert une voix il y a quelques jours par le biais de cet artiste inconnu qui gagne à être connu. Respect Monsieur, continuez de nous transporter de par votre talent vocal. Fantastique, bravo 👏🏼 👍🏽

[@micheletrombin7641]

Wath can i say realy fantastic voice, i recently discovered this channel and i livelli your style, thanks from Italy.

[@dansmith3343]

Perry is so freaking hard to match and you my friend nailed it. Shows when you really love the song you're singing. Most powerful song by my favorite band and you did it justice. Thank you for making my night.

[@TruthSurge]

thanks! I was a little shaky on that third line. I screwed up reading the lyrics! oh well.... I got better as I went but I hate to mess up. If this was some album or something, I would just resing that line and no one would know. Or if I cared enough to do it I would. I have done that b4. I just didn't on this one.

[@johnnestor7386]

89k views? Missing about 3 zeros. Wtf! Love you Surge. Fan for a while. Cheers, John

Yes it is a lung disorder. The lungs become stiffened and it becomes hard to get the oxygen into the blood stream. I use oxygen. I feel very uplifted by your music. I have never subscribed to anything before but was so touched by your music and singing. Take care and thank you for responding, Holly

thx! I slap autotune on my vocal covers quite a bit. Just enough to keep me from sounding out of tune on a note here or there. I figure why not? I'm not doing this live nor will I be. Just trying to get a good end result any way I can. hahaha
