Chilled acoustic cover of Erasure”s A Little Respect

[@robbbbbie12]

Great version. I know Erasure and its band members achieved massive success, I think sometimes the fact that they(and other 80’s pop bands) were making pop / electronic / dance music, they did not get as much recognition as they should have as “serious” singer/songwriters. I think your acoustic version highlights what a beautiful song they wrote.

[@MrNeilbanks]

Thanks very much

Nailed it. Had the Erasure cassette in the late 80's as I headed off to college. Even gave new copies as gifts several times
as it was a magnificent album. LOVE this version...fabulous, Neil.

Me too ha ha thank you for listening

[@cecilebonnet4920]

I tried to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby, refrain
From breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gave me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard
That you give me no, that you give me no
That you give me no, that you give me no soul
I hear you calling
Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me)
Give a little respect to me
And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me?
We can make love, not war
And live with peace in our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover?
Don't you tell me no, don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no, don't you tell me no soul
I hear you calling
Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me)
Give a little respect to me
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard
That you give me no, that you give me no
That you give me no, that you give me no soul
I hear you calling
Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me)
Give a little respect to me
I hear you calling
Oh baby, please (give a little respect to me)
Give a little respect to me

@@MrNeilbanks My pleasure. The original is a belter. But you have stripped this down to the skeleton of the song, then padded it out with a delicate overtone of sincerity and innocence. You are a talented fella.
