OK so I did a version of Dancing in the Dark and it was very stripped back just guitar and vox and I thought it might need livening up or maybe that was the point of it being stripped back. I'm a bit er limited as to what to do to liven it up as I can't play any instruments so I thought I'd give some harmonies a go on the basis that I can always delete them. Well they were quite hard to do and it was all a bit scratchy which normally means it's a bad idea! Anyway, here's the version on internal mics and there's a lot of clicking in and out on the BR I should really take out at some point.
Your harmonies are wonderful, Haylie...
Alfredo

trust me - no-one likes a stripped back Haylie! ;D
im having nothing to do with wax ...i like the hair on my back...im not getting it stripped for nobody......i only came by to listen to this great cover and beautiful harmonies......i'm going before someone starts applying the wax......
You must have a copy of my cover book. Great interpretation, sounds great!
Rock On!
Thanks guys - I got the original idea from Amy Macdonald - I'm a big fan and she's been a huge inspiration to me starting out as she couldn't play the guitar when she first started either and a lot of her early songs are 4 chord repeats (so I used to perform a lot of them - although some aren't suitable because of the er age difference). She's also got a lot of really good 'how to play my songs on the guitar' videos on Youtube for novices like myself. My first song I learnt when I branched out on my own in May 2011 was Poison Prince and it's still very special to me. Hopefully I can play it a bit better now!
Love it, Haylie. Nice vox and harmonies. Thanks for posting.
Wow, this is as original as a cover can get!! Fab performance and love the vocal work as always.
Solid!
Beauty Harmonies! You String beaned Springsteen!! :D
Does it still need Courtney Cox?

Kari
Nice one Haylie great vox and harmonies....Alex
Oh thanks Kari and Alex :)
wow - excellent harmonies!
Thanks Chris :)
Haylie you laid those delicate harmonies in there perfectly to fill things out. Nice mix of call and response and straight harmony. Your vox can definitely carry a song - no big instrumentation needed at all. Sounds lovely just as it is. Well done! DD
Not sure I've ever heard a stripped down version of this song before but it works really well!
Your voice reminds me of Tracey Ullman,........................have already covered one of hers?
Oh thanks DD and Burthog - DD I didn't want to do a straight up 3rd harmony (probably why it was so tricky) wanted something a bit different.
Burthog - I don't actually really do covers anymore - but if I ever get the urge I'll check some of hers out (I haven't done any previously) - is she still singing?
Thanks for listening and commenting guys x

this would be fab to cover, although the chords look a bit challenging for me ???
(I love the way she put's humour in her vids, but then she would she's a comedian. I think her singing was a lot more popular in the States than the UK.)

I think I prefer this tune, originally written by Kirsty MacColl I think.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY7bROROMs0Kirsty was great!

Yes that was her big hit over here (just looked you up - you're from Blighty!) - Kirsty MacColl sure was great :)
;D ;D ;D
Very nicely done, Haylie.
This is the only unplugged version I've ever heard, and it is quite enjoyable.
Your voice is pure gold.
Thanks Gene ;D
great version Haylie
