  • @fstopclick37

    So much has already been said about this performance, but here's my 2 cents worth: At times, so much more emotional intensity can be given over to an audience by employing a stripped back musical arrangement such as we see and hear in this video. Rebecca's vocals start very quietly and as she sings a bit louder, she switches to a more breathy-like whispering tone. Meagan comes in with the song's identifiable musical motif using a large hall reverb, giving her notes a much deeper perceived sound stage. (P.S. The string orchestra melody used by the Verve was actually sampled from an early Rolling Stones song) By the middle of the song, Rebecca starts to use more of a full voice which grows in intensity, range, and volume. If you listen closely, it sounds like they were using some kind of gated echo that only gets heard when Rebecca's voice exceeds the set threshold, especially near the end when she sings "Have you been down" a few times. It's those louder, short vocal phrases, along with that cascading echo which makes it sound as if she was singing her heart out upon a mountain top. So you see, a sparse musical arrangement utilizing some judicious use of signal processing can result in some powerful emotional connections between performer & audience. Two more notes: That last vocal part of Rebecca's along with the echo actually reminded me of Ann Wilson's voice of Heart. Songs like Heart's "What About Love?" comes to mind. The dynamic range of her voice plus those echoes in the louder high parts always sound full of intensity & emotion. BTW... anyone recognize the microphone? To me, it looks a bit like a vintage Neumann U-67, but I'm not sure. It's certainly a large diaphragm condenser mic for sure... and Rebecca certainly put the mic's capabilities on display with that vocal. J.R. 🎶😎🎶

Alot of live loopers like to cover this cause it's so, well, simple. This cover is the best I've heard, and you kept me engaged throughout. Your vocals are, as ever, spectacular, but Megan's approach to the steel on that strings line is inspired. I stopped what I was doing and was just enchanted. Beautiful!

When you two play together you really "inhabit" the song. making it a very good experience. Thank you.

    When the night comes, you take on a whole new meaning to me. Say nothing to the dark as it whispers to me. I can feel you like truth holding you still as my touch dares to tell me lies. The night was meant for love, and the day comes in like it never cries. So we let the day go by as it plays. Once again, the night comes to hold us this way. But then the dream breaks the reality and the night never stays....Keep singing like Larkin Poe!

I just discovered these beautiful women recently and, as a blues fan, of course I loved them immediately. BUT THIS!! Holy crap! This is the only cover of this tune that I like more than the original (and I LOVE the original)! These two FEEL it! And they draw me in & make me feel it, too. Cuz, yeah! I HAVE been down. And I can tell they have, too. I've listened to this like 20 times tonight. I've had my son listen to it. I enjoy their original music but tonight... IDK, tonight I am down. I miss my 1st wife cause she sang great & I miss having a woman who sings but I digress. I'm gonna lay back now, 6am, been a long night. Gonna dim the light, put the headphones back on and put Larkin Poe on loop. Fall asleep with a tear in my eye, dreaming of things that will never be...
