My personal hymn, that is "Somewhere over the rainbow" with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. Again I sang to the incredible guitar play by Shaun Murray aka "ironmonger100". I feel honored having the opportunity to "duet" with him. Please subscribe to his channel. He´s such a great musician:

If ever I had the chance to make a CD with cover songs, I´d love to collab with Shaun on this song at least. His play gave me the opportunity to find my very own and maybe unusual interpretation to this marvelous tune. Though it was hard to control my voice, I love my approach. I´ve recorded it before in 2008, and both times the feeling was just perfect. Thank you Shaun, it is a great pleasure to sing to your artwork.

By the way, I love rainbows, well who doesn´t. Happy rainbows.

André :-)
PS:
"Over the Rainbow" was originally written for the motion picture The Wizard of Oz from 1939 and was sung by Judy Garland in that movie. Over the time it became her signature song. The lyrics :

Somewhere over the rainbow 

Way up high

There´s a land that i heard of

Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow 

Skies are blue, 

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true
Someday I´ll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far 

Behind me 

Where troubles melt like lemon drops 

Away above the chimney tops 

That´s where you´ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow 

Bluebirds fly 
Birds fly over the rainbow 

Why then, oh why can´t I ?
If happy little bluebirds fly 

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can´t I ?

    Man, you got the voice for this beautiful song. Smoothe and flowing softly like a breeze in the summer. Thank you.
  • Dank je wel Althea. I really appreciate your kindness and encouragement. Makes me happy and makes me cry also myself. Thanks for putting me in your favs. It was so difficult to sing and I owe this rendition to Shaun, who arranged and played the guitar... Greets, ΛNDЯÉ☺
  • Thank you so much. Very kind of you. I´m glad you liked it. Thanks for listening. Greets, ΛNDЯÉ ☺

    This is a real honour for me Andre - thankyou so much. I think the slowness really brings out the 'velvet' in your amazing voice. Bless you :-)

    very nice performace, for an immortal song. I like very much
  • @oldkidsman Herzlichen Dank Kurti. Das ist lieb von dir. Freue mich total. Schön, daß du reingehört hast. Ohne Shaun Murrays exzellentes Gitarrenstück, hätte ich mich nie so weit vom Original freisingen können. Judy hat ihren Platz in der Musikgeschichte, daran werde und würde ich nie rütteln wollen. Am Regenbogenthema bleib ich aber dran....Beste Grüße, dein ΛNDЯÉ ☺

    Wow wow wow!! Such an incredibly difficult song to sing especially for men. You pulled it off soo beautifully. I like how you really took your time with the vocals, not rushing it. Really unique performance of the classic song. Gave me chills. You really do have an incredible voice.
