Multi-instrumental cover of "Little Blue," feat. vocals, guitar, mandolin, saxophone, cittern, bodhrán, levitation, and a large wooden hammer. 🙂
This is my first cover, and also my first song with such exposed vocals. I'm pretty new to singing but am really enjoying it. Jacob's been a great inspiration to me on that front (and many others). Such an empowering human!
I grew up in a luthier household filled with bizarre instruments. My main musical influences are film soundtracks (LOTR & Miyazaki), jazz, and Celtic folk music.
While you wouldn't know it from this video, saxophone is by far by best instrument. I played jazz saxophone intensively through high school, and the only instrument I've formally studied. I've picked up these other instruments with lots of help from wonderful RU-vid educators. 😁
I feel called to make music that helps reconnect folks with the Earth, and am hatching an album project along those lines. As I was sitting here figuring out how start a music career after many years doing other random things, this beautiful song dropped out of the sky!

Dear Devin, stumbled upon your cover in my RU-vid recommendation. The original by Jacob is really a special song, and I was mildly surprised by what a beautiful and competent rendition of the song you made. You captured the essence of the song beautifully you sang exceptionally well and your multiinstrumentalism in combination with your editing skills made this a true gem. How do you not have many more subscribers, you singing woodlogger? Made my morning. Thanks for putting that out to the world, you have one more subscriber. I send you hugs and wish that you successfully continue the journey whose first step I was blessed to witness here. I can't wait to hear more from you. May your channel ever grow. Love from Germany.

@DevinMooers 9 месяцев назад

Wow thank you for these glowing words, it's so great to have your support! I've been lurking for many years, tried to get into film & game composing, had kids, tried to start a low-tech intentional community (with lots of wood splitting hah), but have finally come full circle back to music and really want to make a go of it! Thanks for watching and subscribing! (From a fellow soundtrack nut)

I am so glad that Jacob recognized your rendition and gave it such glowing praise. You must be grinning from ear to ear. I know it can be hard sometimes to venture down an untrodden path and face your insecurities and doubts. Staying put in the comfort of your every day may seem ever so tempting. May you find the affirmation and strength through your audience's support to venture further on the path you have begun. I can't wait to see what wonders we might find on your journey. Glad you took the first step onto a hopeful wonderful musical adventure, we gladly take the journey with you.

Dude you nailed it. I refused to believe you just started singing. Please create more videos. Jacob has a counterpart now. This music sharing talent are gifts to the world. Keep going!

@DevinMooers 9 месяцев назад

Wow thanks!! I used to sing around the campfire growing up and stuff, but never seriously paid much attention to it, just focused on instrumentals, and so my voice was always really limited in range, confidence, and depth/quality. I started doing vocal exercises intensely about 6 months ago and it's made a massive difference, to the point where I finally felt ready to go public with it on this song! :D More videos coming up 👍

@timelwell7002 24 дня назад

At last - a cover version which uses the complex modulations of key which happen about 2/3rds of the way through Jacob's own version of his own song. Hats off to Devin, who demonstrates a rare ability as a super-talented multi-instrumentalist.

@DevinMooers 23 дня назад

Hey thanks Tim! Loved the challenge of figuring out all those chords. I also did a cover of Jacob's Hideaway recently if you like that song! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KvLcWmTJ1Tk.html&ab_channel=DevinMooers

Fascinating how you are actually the first person to reach his standards in many ways... Didn´t think that could be possible. Your voice even sounds much like his. And your creative spirit and craziness is quite similar. You guys should totally collaborate!! He's gonna meet his brother for the first time.

@stocksconfidential8862 9 месяцев назад

You , like Jacob, are a very rare breed. This was insane. It blows my mind how so many instruments are played and all played VERY well. I love the jump into Lotus position. That was super cool to watch. Edit: day2 watching/listening to this. I actually like this interpretation better than the original. This needs one of those hour loop videos. Wow, never been at the start of anyone's musical journey. SUBSCRiBED! Cannot wait to see what is in store.

@DevinMooers 9 месяцев назад

Ah dang, thanks for your kind words here! Love the day2 edit. :) I'm super glad to have such great feedback from folks like you at the start of this journey for me! Haha love the loop video idea

@brianmi40 9 месяцев назад

Truly, this is astounding in its vision and execution, arrangement, performance and editing! And I've played guitar for 30+ years, as well as some piano and EWI. Listening to the fills he uses on each instrument to adorn the melody reveals his tremendous taste and skill. Not to take a thing away from the modern genius that Jacob is, but compared at the same 400 subscriber point back in his past, this is a WAY larger realization than Jacob was having at that time, BUT, we benefit from standing on the shoulders of giants! If Devin stays steadfastly TRUE to this path, he will not only build a massive following, but most likely open his own doors to realize his own music and become a touring artist. I'm sure Quincy Jones would appreciate listening to this arrangement in a similar zone to when he first heard Jacob. It's clear that Devin has put a LOT of heart and effort into learning so many instruments and in arranging this to say nothing of the video editing and aura applied to his vision for it.

@DevinMooers 8 месяцев назад

Just wanted to thank you again for your words of encouragement here! I was super lucky to have amazing jazz educators in middle school and high school and a culture of excellence that I really thrived in during that time. Funny coincidence - I went to Quincy Jones' same high school in Seattle! Same school as Jimi Hendrix too O.o

Of course nobody touches the magnificent Jacob.. and this is one of his finest songs ever... But you are a WONDER, Devin.. I was most blown away by how, as a 'newer singer' (per your admission) you were able to mimic Jacob's haunting vocal tone. Nice work.. I know how much production time this was.. as a producer/arranger/performer/one-man-band myself. Nice work!!!

@DevinMooers 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for your thoughts, I really appreciate it! I think it was around 40-50 hours to do both the recording and the video. Haha you should see how many vocal takes I had to do! At first I was REALLY mimicking Jacob, British accent and all, vowel pronunciation and all, which was largely on purpose b/c I've never had a vocal lesson and used it as an educational experience, but that didn't sound anything like me so I dialed that back. But yeah I really like his resonant almost operatic leaning vocal tone, as well as his expansive range, and that has been an inspiration! 👋
