First, I have to apologize to @eugelys, I have been working on this song for at least 6 months now, lol ! Congratulation on earning 1 HIVE!! woop woop!

I am happy I am done with it though, I am not going to lie! There were a first studio version recorded few months ago, it was supposed to be a duo with @mipiano, but she found the bridge too tricky, and probably my recording wasn't on par neither!
Let's be honest, this bridge is a nightmare, but I got away with it haha on this live performance.

Here is the chord progression: Gbdim | F7 | Ebdim | Abmaj7 | Ebmaj7 |Abmaj7 | Ebmaj7 | C7 | Fm7 | Bb7

And then it modulates to a different key, which makes the song even harder.
The original version of the artist Labrinth is heavily autotuned, but it sounds great, I think it works better with it!

About this version, I am not fully happy with it, as I made a few mistakes there and there, I was actually very excited because I was staring at a deer, that did not move for a long time, looking at me singing.
He must have been a few yards/meter away from me.

Prior to record this version, there were 2 more versions recorded earlier when the first rays of lights descended upon the land, but I used the wrong microphone during the recording, and it made the take unusable.
I was so mad at myself and ready to give up, I was so focused on keeping the fire alive, that I forgot to focus on what matters, the recording!

I went back home frustrated, and my dear lovely wife, just said these words: "The fire can be rekindled", and nothing else.

I know exactly what she meant!

Just a word on this song, great song by Labrinth, some part of his inspiration comes from his relationship with his father, of course not all of the lyrics can be applied in that context, me personnaly I feel the song has an incredible drama to it, I would urge you to listen to the original, as Labrinth has a particular tone in his voice that is very touching.

I am going back to record something else tomorrow, it will be a song from my first album Neo released in 2013, and will post it on Monday.

Jealous
Labrinth

I'm jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It's closer than my hands have been
I'm jealous of the rain
I'm jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It's closer than your shadow
Oh, I'm jealous of the wind, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
I'm jealous of the nights
That I don't spend with you
I'm wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I'm jealous of the nights
I'm jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I'm jealous of the love, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
As I sink in the sand
Watch you slip through my hands
Oh, as I die here another day
Cause all I do is cry behind this smile
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me

Such a beautiful song! The crackling of the fire in the background was a great touch.

What an ambience! These videos are epic man! Your Falsettos!!! ahhhhh! You make me wanna start learning how to sing.

You make me wanna start learning how to sing.

Just do it bro, it's like working out, but with the throat!

I am sure it's going to be misinterpreted...

@edprivat You made me laugh with what you wrote (lol) I could listen to some parts and they are very cool SO GREAT, I love your voice, energy and style!!!!!

Thanks so much for the cover!

PS: in some moments the video seems to stop but I don't know if it's my connection.

Thanks so much! Sorry it took so long if you are having loading issues check this link

Thanks! :)
(Aplausos)

At the same time I am so happy and so sorry. So happy to hear this beautiful song and even better performance of you... And so sorry that I didn't make through that harmony modulation on the bridge...so now you wrote down the chords hahahaha...well, still, doesn't mean I could figure it out! Mipiano failed, yeah, but this way you made a perfect cover in your way!

@eugelys , I am sorry if you had to wait so much time for this cover to hear (my fault as Ed was waiting for my part to be done), but finally it is here :))

So nice video @edprivat, as always. I loved the scenery, the fire, the sunrise... Although we could understand the frustration you mention, but the final result is always unique and perfect as it is, and this video demonstrates it also!

Heloooooooo!

What an awesome comment! Ah don't worry about that damn bridge, it took me forever to figure out too, and you are a busy woman indeed, I cannot blame you! Next time I will have to pay you per hour hahaha 😁

Thank you, with the one I did last week, and the one I am releasing on Monday, it's my proudest videos so far. It's going to be hard to do better than that now lol. I am having so much fun though, creating shot compositions, thinking of concepts. You're great at that too, always full of idea! Thanks for passing by! I'll come check on your side what's happening!

Next time I will have to pay you per hour hahaha 😁

maybe ;))))

Your voice sounds fantastic in this song @edprivat ! And the nature was like harmonizing with you. Appreciate you putting so much work into your products and at the same time make them so authentic and natural when they come out! 😊

Hey there new friend! Thanks so much, I am so happy you enjoyed it, it means a lot! Yeah, we need to take our work to the next level, so when people come here, they're like "daaaaaaaaaaaamn!"

haha I absolutely feel your energy when you said this! I totally agree with you. And I adore that point of you! 😀

It's so fabulous to know the behind the scenes of the videos, it's easy to get distracted by those elements of nature, watching an animal as it gazes at you like a deer must have been a great moment.

All waiting has rewards and those key words from your wife were the spark that lit the fire.

Everything was perfect, congratulations. @edprivat

Oh man, I don't know what's happening with me and deer, they are not afraid of me. Once a day, I see at least a few! They're always young, so I wonder if it's why they don't mind me too much.

Thanks so much for your comment, and for the congrats! So happy! 😁

This great, I really like the scenery, outdoors feel good vibes.

Thanks Jim! Yeah man, the scenery, I realize it plays such an importance role!
I just wanna share all the cool stuffs I see at the moment!

I like it and your wife is right, the fire can be rekindled😉 What a lovely ambiance🔥🦌🙏💟

Thx so much, yeah, and the song can be replayed, the microphone set up again, the sun will shine the next day too, or if not the next day, another day...😁

Ah man, the setting here is so class, i love the visual and crackle of the fire, it complements the song brilliantly. You nailed this one my man 👏👍☀️🎼

What up @ablaze! Thanks brother, truly appreciated you swinging by, the crackling fire it's almost like ASMR, you heard of that?

😍 🙇‍♂️

What is the second emoji doing? Is he crying?

nooooo 😂😂😂 it is making a bow

Nice one! I like the setting with the fire and the field. Looks great.

That's cool that you performed for a deer. That's so neat. I feel like deer a sentient beings and kind of spiritual in a way.

I can empathize with the frustration of the microphone not working. I've lost articles before after spending a lot of time on them and its very frustrating.

Yeah, it's deer every days, also buzzards, just flying off and following my car, I had a see through ceiling in the car and I see them gliding over me for a long time.
All of these animals, are signs for me, of course all spiritual.

I am learning how to stop wasting the energy dwelling what failed, and start focusing on what works, it's tough though, I know you're a perfectionist too.

Animals a definitely one of the many perks of living in the country.

Good strategy. I should give that a shot, lol

I should give that a shot, lol

Lol haha I still bitch all the time don't worry
