The RU-vid page of Face the Strange. A 4 piece (mostly) covers band based in West Yorkshire in the UK. We pride ourselves on our wide knowledge of music and styles. Please look through our videos and comment.
This page used to be called Breakaway Music which was something Tracy and Andy (singer and Guitarist) started. During the pandemic, when performing was forbidden they used this channel to cover songs and itch the performing scratch. Now things have opened up again we want to use this channel for the band.
Her vocals were fascinating👍👏👏👏. But I didnt like the way of his guitar performance. He went too far from the original base of the beautiful melodies of the song.
I have a Go Your own way playlist with all different artist singing/playing AND i have a Hero's playlist AND YOU are going on that playlist as this is excellent
This is one of my all time favorite songs. And you two did not mess it up. In fact, you did one of the best covers ever. I’m completely blown away that you were able to make this happen so effectively. The vocals are amazing and enticing. And your guitar, guitar, guitar playing was beyond brilliant, so amazingly talented. And blending it all together for a perfect and delightful performance was a technical feat. Thanks so much for your effort. This posting is now on my frequent revisit list. Love you two.
Aw thank you so much for that lovely positive feedback, makes it all worthwhile, and we agree this is one of the best, most uplifting songs from ELO it was a joy to cover it 😊
Thank you for the comment. On the original recording there are at least 4 multi layered guitar parts. When rehearsing I improvised a solo. The band liked it. I kept it as a moment to have a small little solo bit that is different every night.
I liked the outdoor shots combined with the indoor, and especially enjoyed seeing the array of guitars and how they were used in the piece. Both of you did a terriffic job. Thank you!
Well, I do believe you're the only person to have commented on that. So, thank you. I agonised over that intro for hours trying to get it to work. Thank you so much for the comment.
My wife of 44 years passed away on the first day of Autumn , our favourite time of year . The Moody Blues version was played at her funeral .She was a Moodies fanlike me. my other favourite is The day we meet again ,I cry every time I hear it .Miss you forever Loraine.
You have a melodic voice ( I'm thinking who you sound like) but this is not the song for it ,Weller's righteous anger and furious state of the nation observations on society needs to be kept in it's original form.
Obviously. It's kind of hard to replicate what they did over months in a huge fully equipped studio with a few loops a guitars and vocals. This is paying homage to.music we love. Not trying to replicate the music perfectly.
