Topic: broken doll

hi, just to say that i've recorded a new version of "broken doll" and it can be heard on my-space and sound click. it's quite different from the original as that was done on piano, this is on guitar and i've changed some of the chords.

please have a listen and let me know your thoughts on it?

thanks

Re: broken doll

Hi Phill
I really liked the original piano version saying that I would be hard pressed to say which one I liked the best both are good in their own way.
I liked the simplicity of the piano and vocals of the 1st recording. You've done a good job with the 2nd one the guitar giving this one a folksy feel to the song.
well done.

Re: broken doll

Phill... I didn't listen to the piano version either... but WOW... I agree with Russell, this sounds much like something the Beatles would have done.  I found myself WANTING to listen to the end to hear the entire story.  EXCELLENT!!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: broken doll

thanks to you all, the piano version was put up last year or the year before, i think? roger did a version which took it to another level for me with a fuller sound.

i am a big beatles fan, but it never occurred to me that it was beatlesk!!! (if that's the correct spelling) it was just a childhood memory of me getting into trouble and my older cousin helping me out of it! it's strange that it came out as a girl song, i used to use my sisters dolls as target practice for my darts!

thanks again for listening

Re: broken doll

I remember the piano version and I thought then it was a beauty...Now it's Beautiful. smile
I'm in agreement this has a very Beatlesque feel to it.

Kudos my friend
