Someone Like You Cover (My Version)

[Carrieptn]

This is the first song I learned to play on guitar (so not very good). My boyfriend is playing backup for me. I was extremely nervous to do this video and share it because I've never done anything like that before. I've always sang live, and to do a video recording was very...odd for me. My vocals are a bit pitchy in some parts, due to my nerves.

I finally got the balls to post this video, and share with you all. I was hesitant, because so many others have covered this song and I didn't want to be "cliched" for doing so. I'm a country singer and songwriter, but I'm a huge fan of anything with soul and I'm in love the lyrics in this song. Hope you enjoy

(I should also add...we have a dog..and you can hear him wondering about the entire time, lol)

Not able to access the video, Carrie. The message says 'This video is private'.

[Carrieptn]

Thanks for letting me know Donna. I changed the setting. Could you try again and see if it works please?

[Carrieptn]

Thank you Rob Yes, I would love to post one of my songs. I'm having a very difficult time with getting any sound recorded through my computer with my recording program. It's been driving my nuts for 2 weeks. As soon as I get it figured out, I will post one of mine. Thanks again.

Pretty good Carrie. I think you are a natural. I suspect you have the ability to imitate the singers you like. The trick is finding your own unique voice. We've all heard that before. I look forward to hearing you as you develop as a singer. You also have a grace in front of the camera which is soothing to watch.

[Carrieptn]

Thanks Martha. Yes, that is why I was hesitant about posting the video, because everyone has heard that before.

I look forward to showing my own stuff.

[DonnaMarilyn]

I concur with what the others have said, Carrie. You have a very pleasing voice.

I so envy that you can play guitar as well.

[Carrieptn]

Thank you Donna! I was very motivated to learn the guitar. I'm no expert by any means (I only know the basics), and still have a lot to learn. I basically taught myself with a lot of practice everyday. I read that you are picking it up. Good for you and good luck.

[DonnaMarilyn]

Sadly, I lack the self-discipline to teach myself. I do have a guitar - two of 'em in fact. But it's my keyboard that I intend to work on in the coming months. Even if only to painstakingly plonk out a melody now and then.

[MissMartha]

Do you sing Donna?

[Johnny Longfellow]

Wow, you really sound great. I can't wait to hear your original material.

[Carrieptn]

Thanks so much Johnny

[Guest]

Great voice. I saw you were nervous and a touch out, here and there but great. Once you find your own material , you will be a force to reckon with !

[Carrieptn]

Thanks for listening, Whoosh. And thank you for the compliment

[mtm2]

You sound very good... Nice pace and somewhat original phrasing shows you are developing your own way of expressing your creativity even with well-known material like Adele. Carry on down the originality path with your own material and best of luck!

[Carrieptn]

Thank you mtm2 for the compliment and for recognizing my small attempts in trying to put a somewhat original spin on this particular song. Thanks for listening

Hey Carrie

I've to be honest that I find you being a lil nervous while singing,but like others have said,you are a natural,and I loved your singing,loved the part especially at 3:34(i think).

Im very glad you posted this,

good job gal,

Now lets talk about that collaboration thing we should do,shall we?

Cheers,

Mahesh

[Carrieptn]

Thanks Mahesh I appreciate your compliment and your listening. I'll warm up to the online videos sooner, rather than later. They are an entirely different "species" if you get my drift. It's like a whole new audience!

I'm down for a Collab! I'm in love with your voice. I've listened to "Towards the Edge" several times just so I can hear your singing! It inspires me.
