what a fool believes | the doobie brothers | acoustic cover ft. therese curatolo | stories

[@ts4426]

What a fool believe he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away. The gravity of that statement is undeniable. Incredible writing.

[@donaldmacgregor2545]

To sing with this much inflection while staying in tune (and gracefully so) takes some serious understanding of harmony and melody. Big time talent, huge heart. Thank you

[@reesetea]

Donald MacGregor big time compliment, thank you 🧡

[@krball56]

Or. You could learn the melody

[@cornelmasson4610]

Therese is my new fav vocalist. Her voice has that special quality.

[@vincentthompson1608]

This classic is crazy vocally and its a big reason it isn't covered very often.You did a very nice job.Congrats

[@alexgroz919]

Oh my... What a voice...

[@SuperMIKEFREE]

One of the greatest songs of all time gives birth to one of the best covers of all time.

[@Peteyno01]

Brilliantly different. The latin/ jazz feel is hauntingly beautiful. Very accomplished guitar work and that voice! Wow!!

[@nathanweston9681]

This is beautiful! And it has made me wonder whether I've been hearing the song wrong all these years - I've always heard the highest note in the Doobie Brothers' harmony as the melody, but Therese makes a compelling case that I'm wrong...!

[@dymond06]

Nathan Weston same lol

[@BCTification]

Me three!

[@keenancookson8641]

Thank you for voicing a feeling I couldn’t describe.

[@sebastianbjoernestad]

Ariel and Ryan - whoooo! You two sound absolutely insane together. A beautiful arrangement by you all! Thank you this

[@JayCaesar]

Wow. Just Wow. Beauty on the Everyday. Thank you.

[@smiaaron]

Beautifully interpreted. Beautifully performed. Beautifully recorded. A+ job!

[@Harivelo]

Beautiful cover. I can't help playing it over and over again. Therese Curatolo, there's a haunting quality in your voice that just pulls at my heartstrings. Thank you very much.

[@reesetea]

❤️❤️❤️thank you

[@MK-mp1ku]

I love how much intelligence is displayed in the accompaniment of these covers

[@daniellealmeida4018]

My Brazilian ears thank both Therese and her musicians for such an amazing performance. I've heard it a thousand times and will hear many more. Bravo!

[@kompyuter2003]

Her cover is simply so beautiful. The Doobie Brothers would probably adopt you as their Sister!

[@fooaddict]

What a fantastic arrangement of this great song and an utterly flawless vocal. More of Therese please!!!

[@reesetea]

[@mistyantoni3818]

From "Brand New Key" to the Doobies... Therese, I don't know who you are. I don't know where you come from. But I am following where you are going.

[@reesetea]

MIsty Antoni ...haaaay, fellow old soul

[@restorer19]

I've come to expect differences in even the major bits of songs from stories, but I wasn't expecting that key. It threw me and I didn't know what to think; I had to take some time singing the line I remember and matching up notes. On the second listen, it's the kind of thing that somehow evokes an emotional response in a beautiful voice singing an unexpected key that still works, but subtly changes the meaning or mood of the expression. Brains are weird, but for this kind of thing, I'll take it. (meaning just about every time I hear a totally unexpected note in a key or progression where I was expecting the upcoming "soul note" to be a particular one, and a totally different one is sung, especially one that's comparitively very minor, or doesn't resolve nearly as well, and it's a strange backwards-mirror-neuron reaction) (what I'm saying is, when that happens, I can't really process it the first time, but the next few times I listen through, they make me get really emotional and want to either cry or punch the air)

[@darrenkelfkens8539]

Glorious vocals...and what beautiful guitar work.

[@TheJoelsr1]

Everything about this is beautiful. The song, the band performance, the lead singer, and especially that voice.

[@Dang...]

Wow what a beautiful rendition. Great song made better! Excellent tasteful arrangement recorded exquisitely. Guitars sound amazing. And the Wurly shines here too.

[@kevinkerr3097]

This song here. It's so well written. It is more concerned with telling a very sad, timeless and relatable story..and it isn't necessarily concerned with rhyming, until it happens to.. beautiful and simultaneously sad. A personal theme song of mine, and a staple of my small childhood memories.

[@jacktribble5253]

This take on this song really made the philosophy behind it much more clear. That, and it is beautiful work.

[@yonkel0]

Just a ravishing vocal.

[@farisrashif]

The last time I listened to this song was the original version. And surprisingly this version presents a new harmony. It's just a perfect cover.

[@reesetea]

[@timconlon8500]

Wow, these guitarists are absolutely top notch . Really complement each other well with outstanding phrasing and tone

[@littlecarol2018]

I look forward to every new production from stories: the expressiveness of the instrument players is masterful. This was like being tickled from every direction by the singer and the players. Very nice.

[@reesetea]

Little Carol they’re the best & thank you❤️

[@opinogratis6702]

Beautiful song I've loved since I was in high school. This version is magnificent, I hope you know how much I thank the lady, the musicians and the "Stories" channel for the company in these times of quarantine. Greetings from Argentina.

Not to be one of those guys saying "hope they see this", but I seriously hope the Doobie Brothers sees this. Spectacular!

Wow! Great creative arrangement of a classic song, and one that is already difficult to play well. One of my all-time favorite tunes, and one you don’t hear often due to its vocal challenges. Nice work by everyone involved in this video!

Just Loved this cover. Vocals and guitars equally. Just goes to show the ridiculous and amazing vocal range that Michael macdonald had back in the day... Great song...

[@paulembleton1733]

Challenges the ears when compared to original. It sounds both the same and completely different. I’m not a big fan of the R&B pop sound, but the song is excellent and this is proof on a new level. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@rainman6753]

Such a beautiful rendition of a masterpiece

[@ieemom]

If you’re really attached to Michael McDonald’s voice and the highs of the original, it takes a minute to appreciate the Burt Bacharach-style/low key bossanova interpretation they do here. But it definitely grows on you.
