Gosh she is so talented. From the rhythm. 12 string. 6 string. Singing. Solo guitar. She is everything. Unreal. And I never really listened to her music. But now I’m convinced she is beyond talented. Bono would be floored in hearing this.
Didn't think anyone could do justice to this song outside of U2 and their version with Mary J. Blige....wow Melissa you knocked it out of the park. Beautiful!
I LOVES YOU AND RESPECT YOUR love for life. Am 16 yrs clean and sober and I remember hearing your voice and hearing you loud and clear. Thank you, thank you so much for tuning me back to a wonderful life.
I am quite aware it is a cover, hence "Cover Song Tuesdays." I know the original version. This is my individual interpretation. A song, covered by another artist, takes on the meaning put out there by the covering artist. To quote M.E., "We are all ONE." Her interpretation was portrayed by me as a coming together rather than the never ending ripping apart that seems to be the currently accepted norm. Interpret it through Bono's eyes and voice if you like, I choose Melissa's.
@@lbpinnwa 👍🏽 oh ok you meant for you personally. That's cool and I do get it. Melissa Etheridge is awesome and has a way with words and her voice. She can make anything sound good and have so much meaning. I saw her so far 3 times in concert.
Melissa that was Phenomenal absolutely amazing as always. Your songs and your voice have been getting me through some rough times right now and i just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul💜 every cover you have done give me goosebumps especially purple rain like wow! You're such an inspiration to many and ever since i was a teenage girl i always looked up to you. And even though i didn't get to be a singer like i wanted so badly i still sing daily because music is one of the things that keep me going even though i feel like giving up. Keep on giving us these beautiful and amazing covers i always look forward to them. Suncerly one of your biggest fans,Heather lynn 💜💙💚💛🌈 🌈 🌈
I've been a fan of hers since around 1993. Her sound is very unique. Her voice is so full of passion and soul when she sings. The way she belts out those amazing, powerful vocals along with her bluesy guitar playing commands your attention! You can feel her pain in her voice. Sadly, it reminds me of better days with a love lost. ( But that only means she's one of the best at making you feel her music).
Will never forget that unexpected, innocent night all those years ago, when I walked into the Milestone Club in Charlotte, NC, as ME was touring to get her debut album to the public. Her label had bought out this tiny punk rock club capacity maybe about 200. Well, it worked. What a show - who knew? Here we are over 3 1/2 decades later? Glad I made it this far. Glad ME did, too - it’s been quite a journey for so many of us. One love, indeed. Thank you for these new sessions. - Fred Blurt, Asheville, NC
Melissa is as awesome as ever. I love this performance. Mind boggling how she can get all those sounds going and sing like she has a fabulous band in the background. ❤ ❤ ❤
One of the greatest rock n roll performers ever, either doing her originals or doing covers. Hers is still the best cover of Janice’s “Ball and Chain” I ever heard. Was driving in the Seattle area late one night many years ago and heard it as a bootleg played by a local alt DJ. So good I had to pull over, turn it up and just wildly groove to it… She does a great job with this song as well!
Penny 🇳🇿says: I've always loved U2 as well as you Mel. I get a kick out of watching you build a song like this. And when I think of this song I think of you Rave. Still holding on and believe in you everly 💜💜💜
Wow Melissa does a unreal version of this u2 song , she’s really feeling the emotions of this beautiful song I love you Melissa keeps rockin beautiful lady love shaz Australia
Great song Melissa! Your such a caring person. I like the fact you have a garden. I have respect for nature. Love plants , etc. Thanks for all you do for us.!!❤❤
Ever since I watched "Where the Day Takes You " as a teenager; I've loved you! I can't wait until the day you can come back to CO! I've seen you many times, but my favorite is "The Barn" at Chautauqua in Boulder, CO!
Never really heard Melissa before here living in uk ( no excue - but feel lucky to hear that voice and was browsing on ovations as an old guy,through lockdown why not !
Oh my. I close my eyes and I’m right back to my dorm room in 1988 hearing this voice on a college radio station. I can’t breathe, I’m at awestruck, what is this voice??? Oh, sweet Melissa. I am 51 now and you still stop me in my tracks. Thank you.
I LOVE watching Etheridge build each song instrument by instrument! Then...add her voice in and her amazing guitar work and you have PERFECTION!!!
Its incredibly
Yes
Melissa is one of the greats
She is a god.
Gosh she is so talented. From the rhythm. 12 string. 6 string. Singing. Solo guitar. She is everything. Unreal. And I never really listened to her music. But now I’m convinced she is beyond talented. Bono would be floored in hearing this.
Didn't think anyone could do justice to this song outside of U2 and their version with Mary J. Blige....wow Melissa you knocked it out of the park. Beautiful!
I can't choose! I adore both 💗💗💗
I'd love to see Melissa do this with The Edge and U2.
I miss this time period- loved all of these at home mini concerts and chats!
I LOVES YOU AND RESPECT YOUR love for life. Am 16 yrs clean and sober and I remember hearing your voice and hearing you loud and clear. Thank you, thank you so much for tuning me back to a wonderful life.
❤
You’ve moved me to tears ❤️
God bless you Melissa...your songs always come at the right time.
Love from California.💛
Enjoying your Guitar Playing
Beautiful message that we so desperately need!
This is an old song. No offense but what message ? This song is about two people in a relationship or used to be in one.
