- My interpretive adaptation of the wonderfully creepy and atmospheric piece by the Stranglers.
Please check out the original, with its accompanying fan video HERE: • Video
ORIGINAL composition by the Stranglers: from The Gospel According to the MeninBlack, 1981.
All copyright on the original composition by the Stranglers is acknowledged and respected.
Hope it lives up to the eminent eeriness of the original. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy.
Hi boys and girls of the internet! This is an online account of the online security issues, spying and cyber stalking my best friend and I are presently experiencing.
I can afford to simplify my message here now, as I can confirm there is a remote access program on my friend's computer and last night for the first time I found and quarantined malware on my own computer. I can confirm this because a third tech/cybercrime expert (a RUclipsr) now has all the information and screenshots we've gathered together, plus other details. Including who we suspect is doing this. (Hint: It's someone I know!)
This has been a fascinating learning curve and we will be taking our findings further.
I assume you are a Windows user. Linux and apple users have much better security. If you use Windows I advise you you to install Linux or get somebody to do it for you. Also enable the firewall function on your router and disable the remote administration functions as that will allow anybody with your IP address to get all your data from the router and access your internal network and computers. Most internet companies that supply modem leave these features on so they can get into your system for repairs so they say.
Excellent stranglers cover by the way and one not many people seem to have covered. I was actually searching RUclips to try to find a tutorial for this
I’ve been a massive Stranglers fan all my life. I’m 60 now and this brings tears to my eyes of all the memories. Beautiful.
Humble thanks to you Vidster ^__^ You're v sweet, that's v kind too. Thank you for giving it a listen. I'm delighted it had an impact on you.
There'll be more piano uploads like this in the next few months, once I've sorted my new camera out. Predominantly Stranglers songs so I hope I'll see you again before long. o__< /
@@annakateputter_littlered have you ever played Don’t Bring Harry of The Raven album?
@@vidster13 it's on 'the List' and has been for the longest time. It's a sultry,moody, understated song I liked a lot. I just hav2get round2learning it, finally. I will! ^__^ Just can't say exactly when, but perhaps I should bump it higher up the list.
@@vidster13 that would be amazing
it is beautiful
The Stranglers and Keith Floyd were good friends and spent many happy hours together getting drunk. Today we lost Dave, I have so many happy memories because of the Stranglers, thank you for this. It shows Dave for what he was. A genius musician. Love always. ade
I'll never be able to carry his torch but I'll try. This is a big and saddening shock. I only just found out.
@@annakateputter_littlered You're playing this on loop as i cook dinner, I'll be raising a glass to him tonight, thank you for this beautiful rendition. It helps a bit. Love - always - is the answer. Stay well. ade x
Lol yes I actually attended a party with this bunch, Keith and Rowland rivron. All of the above absolute animals. I whityed out couldn't keep up. Too much dust
Had a friend, big Elvis fan, since died, collected records since 1964. He had thousands of them all over his flat. One day he went out and I played his Stranglers 45 La Folie and then the B side. It reminded me of those fairground organs, what a fantastic sound. Nice cover.
Beautiful work AnnaKate.This sounds almost Ghostly,like Dave standing in the corner wearing a white suit like Marty Hopkirk " Randall and Hopkirk (deceased ).I can just imagine him smiling while listening to you here.
It's so eerie. A haunting yet beautiful image. I LOVE IT.
Haha i can now imagine that too, And he would certainly be raising a Glass to this .
Merci. Belle ovation à ce grand musicien Dave Grennfield....thanks..
Oui mais je préfère quand même la version originale.
A very adept and beautiful cover version. First saw the Stranglers in 1976. Everything that was beautiful from the Stranglers had its genesis in the keyboard of Dave Greenfield.
Another classic version I have always found Waltz in Black to be a little bit haunting your version really takes it to a new level
Absolutely brilliant, this is wonderful and very moving considering we are all in mourning right now for the composer R.I.P Dave
That means a lot Coxyboy. I'm so happy you like it. Poor Dave Greenfield. Seems he was a very sweet lovely man. I'm honoured that those who loved him are coming here. I'll never be as skilled as he was, but I try my best. Rest in peace. Thank you so much for tuning in. o__< /
This put a very big smile on my face. I love your performance! Just beautiful.
I'm delighted you enjoyed it JB thank you ^__^ Causing smiles feels good :D
My goodness, what a beautiful rendition. Whatever else is on your channel, I’ve subscribed.
David Greenfield, RIP.
Yes, I'm deeply saddened that the world lost Dave Greenfield. Never to be forgotten.
Thank you sincerely for the sub ^__^ I hope you find something else you like amidst my other work. Any requests ask away. Any feedback don't hold back! Stay safe. AK
This is still timeless & pure class ❤
I would truely love this delicate soul to perform "started with a kiss" this piece of 80's musoc remimds me so mich of Anna Kate Putter.... i never took the time to recognose how much of a gift it was just to be in the compamy of someome that is blessed with so mich talent, and never speaks, boasts, but when Anna sits on that piamo stool and comands the recital so perfectly, then and only then i recognose what an arrogent instrument i was to ignore Anna's depth of devotion to her craft....
40 years old today!
Is it? Why, how lovely. Happy Birthday WaltzInBlack.
With the recent anniversary of Dave's passing I re-visited this version - (I know Dave would have loved what you've done) - so keep on doing it AnnaKate. ade x
This is so unexpected! And your playing brings some kind of light to this spooky (though great) piece. Enchanting it is!
A very beautiful and moving tribute to Dave wonderfully played. Yours most sincerely from a dyed in the woll Stranglers fan.
I'm honoured you enjoyed it Mr Harris, that means a great deal. Thank you.
Brings tears to my eyes, thank you for sharing RIP Dave; Fly straight! xxx
Not at all. Thank you for listening. To know there's an emotional response from those listening, that there's that connect, that to me means job done. As a musician, that's the apex. ^__^
I just loved listening to that! Its such an iconic tune!
Aw thank you Roger.
Just the right amount of dark genius craziness! Bloody brilliant! xx
Beautifully done.
So very beautiful, hauntingly evocative and perfectly performed ! So talented x Thank you x
I try my best. * ^__^ * Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, and thank you for tuning in. You flatter me. o__
Brilliant! Very evocative cover of a song I have always found slightly disturbing. CLOWNS come to mind!!
I love that you felt the 'sinister' in it :) Clowns freak me out. So I love your comment. Thank you
I only heard this song for the first time a few months ago (for shame). It did then, and even more now, evokes so much imagery. Thank you for your beautiful rendition
Force be with you friend o__< thank you for listening
@@annakateputter_littlered Wow, I'm very impressed by the quick reply. I hope it won't be too strange to hear that in fact you know me, from many years past. I confess its not by random chance I find myself enjoying your playing again.
You've probably already worked out who I am :) I''d be thrilled if you'd be inclined to drop me a line. I'll leave it to you. My email is in my profile.
Wow! What a fantastic rendition of one of Mr Greenfield's very finest tunes. Respect due, AnnaKate, from an old Goth....
Very good indeed
Beautiful adaptation, and excellent hearing you carry music in your veins, continue like this. A big greeting and admiration from Argentina
Awww, thank you Rodolfo ^__^ That means a lot, appreciate it. I won't disappear again. o__< /
Haunting and lovely
Nice cover Anna, I especially love the black and white video!
Thank you JP, that's kind of you. Good luck with your channel, you're already doing brilliantly and I'm certain you'll be a big hit. ^__^ / x
Superb
Absolutely beautiful.......
Thank you for tuning in, Mr Davidson ^__^ Very happy you liked it. I think I've made this downloadable over on SoundCloud, if you want it2keep, but I'm not sure - I'll have to check. Stay safe. AnnaKate x
I just saw your cover, Bravo !!
Well played x
As I was about to say if anyone or any body but not AI wants to recreate a stranglers song iam all 4 what an estimated band these guys were, so for this lady to pay tribute I bow with you and for you, wonderful that's a word that's missing in 23.x 😁🥰
Hauntingly faithful & brilliant rendition. Bravo!
It's not as faithful as you think ;) if I were to attempt it again now, it'd be a touch more faithful to the original. But people still seem to love it. Which to me is just the most awesome thing.
@@annakateputter_littlered Just needed the manic laughter at the end! Ha! 😉
Bravo annakate..or do people just call you KATE?
i rearly enjoyed that! fantastic version of one of my fav Stranglers tunes.thankyou.
Thanks, Allred! You're most welcome. ^__^
Lovely. Congratulations!
Nice work..
superb
Stunning.
Absolutely wonderful, thank you so much for sharing AnnaKate :)
De nada! Thank you for listening Dub Siren, and for the lovely feedback ^__^ am stoked you enjoyed it.
Just beautiful thank you
Not at all, Chris, thanks for tuning in o__< /
Brilliant. X
Muchas gracias por compartir tu talento
Me encantas
Saludos de España.
A great version!!! I have Waltz as my ringtone. People are genuinely surprised when l tell them it's The Stranglers .....and not Keith Floyd.
Keith Floyd the chef?
(Or 'cook', as his Wikipedia says....?)
Anyhow thanks muchly Mr. Steer ^__^ /
Yes. Waltzinblack was his theme tune on his cookery show. The end titles of his show always played out with 'Peaches'. He was a big Stranglers fan.
The guy who always cooked with lotsa booze?!?! %^D I'm a big fan of anybody who cooks like that. Very cool. Forgive me for missing the reference. ^__^
Yes. He liked a drink. No harm in that.....as far as l'm concerned anyway.
What about a cover of the Stanglers "Strange Little Girl"? In my opinion one their best singles not from an album. I am sure you could do a commendable version of it.
Ouch! Anna I show a piece of the stranglers everyday for the last 2 years on my FB account. I just love them. I just discover I love your way. I am going to show you to my twins tonight. They play piano both of them and the first concert they went with me was, of course, the stranglers... Kind Regards.
Thank you Arnold, I endeavor to cover more Stranglers songs. I'm away from my piano for now, but I'll upload again as soon as I can. Many thanks x
Dear Anna, if by any chance you come to france, our family will be most honour and welcome to host you. kind Regards.
I'm touched! Thank you, Arnold. :) Much appreciated.
I, a Stranglers fan, like it. Beautiful! ❤️
I'm almost crying ... 🙂
Dry them eyes DT ^__^ Thank you for the comment, am v happy you like it. Thanks for listening
Thank You for this
Love this version,so talented
Thank you Purple Guy! I love your RUclips name ^__^
@@annakateputter_littlered I love the stranglers,Dave Greenfield and JJ burnell from the group,had a spin-off group,called the purple helmets,love to hear you do a version of don't bring Harry,I am not a musician at all but I think Dave Greenfield of the stranglers is amazing,I hope you get a chance to listen to the song
This really is amazing.
Most enchanting very nice x
Happy you liked it, thanks for tuning in wildphil ^__^

Thank you! Much appreciated, Mr. Stiffy, Sir. ^__^

This cover makes me calm and gives me hope
Humble thanks, I'm glad. Hang onto that hope.
The acoustic piano makes it all the more haunting
Juste magnifique

Hey I'm happy you enjoyed it Mr W. ^__^ Thank you for tuning in.
Wow, this is so beautiful. I’m crying - again.
Cheers Mr Jones, dry them eyes! It'll be okay! Thank you for tuning in. X
@@annakateputter_littlered It's happened a lot in the last week, but that's OK, I reckon. Will have a look at the other songs. Thank you so much x
@@martinjones4516 Crying is ok. Crying is good. You'll feel better and sleep better. Just turn your attention to something light hearted later. I can only endure so much emotional intensity before I have to return to my Xbox and my favourite comedies. Strike a balance. Be kind to yourself. It really will be okay.
@@annakateputter_littlered Thanks Doctor! Sounds good, will do. Stay safe x

Sounds like Danse Macabre to me. Eerie, lovely and jaunty all at once!
........Humble thanks Mr. H Motors o__< Jaunty is a lovely term.
Brilliant would love to you play North winds Blowing.
Thanks, MH, I'll look into the song. ^__^

As long as I'm still breathing, I'm still playing. ^__^
AnnaKate haha goof to hear :)
Yay!
:)
Just Epic Dave will be proud
Only just discovered he passed away today. A gentle soul by all accounts with the kind of talent I can only ever strive towards. Thank you for tuning in, Paul. X
Classic cover of a classic
It is fairly interpretive, but people seem to like it and I'm delighted you enjoyed it too Joyce ^__^ thanks for stopping by to listen!
Dave greenfield quite skilled when you take away the synth effects....nice playing .
Thanking you, Mr Wasza ^__^ /
RIP Dave Greenfield. :(:( another corona victim. Unique, talented and has given us a rich library of sounds songs and moods in the Stranglers songs.
BeautifulInBlack.......
Thanks for tuning in Joe
Lol I think I'm gonna steal all your melodies :p
Ha ha! ^__^ ....Wait, no!....don't do that. Steal Lana's instead :D ;b
What an awesome idea for your own funeral/cremation service
Thank you Jonathan, that's sweet of you. I'm curious though: why *my* funeral, in particular? If you'd like it for your *own* memorial service, you can download it with my blessing. Personally I think I'd like either Nine Inch Nails or Chopin or a bit of both at my own funeral. Not sure. I'm much too chipper to spend my days thinking about funerals, personally. ^__^
AnnaKate not planning on it yet! How awesome though that would be.Bring a tear to the eye
.....I for one certainly hope that you don't die any time soon, Jonathan. Take care of yourself, keep yourself alive and thank you so much for tuning in. o__< / ^__^
AnnaKate sends a shiver down the spine 💓 thanks x
Ha haaaa! Good :) .......thank *you*, JM. :)
Primarily reminiscent of Satie when arranged and performed like this but I can also hear hints of Debussy, Ravel and Saint Saens.
Wow. o__o Thank you my man, that's some pretty fine comparisons. Thanks for listening!
p.s. Danse Macabre (?) has been on my to do list for years.
@@annakateputter_littlered Listened to this (again) earlier and actually said to someone, you know. . I think even Satie might have tried to nab this!! . . wonderful. . apart from the original, (was lucky enough to hear it previewed as a Live intro / not even released or completed yet in July '80 ) I cannot top of my head think of a better version, it's so wonderful and the Piano suits this so well. . I would say it even brings another dimension out forth from it. . again just wonderful. .I am sure Mr. Greenfield would have loved this . . . . . . Thanks so much for this x
as they say ... pure dead brilliant. \m/
LOve it :) ( Hiiiiiii hiiiiiiiii )
Thank you, Yves! x
Wow that shits amazin!
^__^ ......thanks, Mr Psymander sir.
Luvin The Raven interpritation aswell. Yoo should totally do some more Stranglers stuff!
There are more songs in the pipeline, including at least one that I think pretty much everyone knows. Just in the process of getting the camera repaired. Really looking forward to getting it back O__O Thanks for the sub o__< /
Nice one!, Look forward to it checkin them out : ]
Great cover do you have the chord sequence you used?
Give Hugh a bell girl!
Thanks for tuning in, RR. o__
My uncle listen to Stranglers since they started and anyway he is an old f
superbe !! je pense à Dave Greenfield ,merci
dave greenfield reste dans mes pensées aussi. Merci d'avoir entendu ma musique! Restez en sécurité, Stephane x
😔🎹🎵
That was beautiful! I absolutely loved it! What camera/speaker/program do you use to record these songs? The sound is clear and awesome and i want to be able to record like that..
Shucks. Thank you o__< ^__^ .....it's a Zoom Q8. Here: www.zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/video-recording/zoom-q8 .......*the* most user friendly camera I've ever experienced. I got mine in a barely used condition from eBay, they sometimes turn up on there a little cheaper than at first hand price. Mine was a very good deal. The Zoom Company were really helpful when I needed it repaired, once. I sent it over to them, they repaired it as quickly as they could, sent it straight back......can recommend.
AnnaKate thank you so much! I'll check it out right away! :-)
What a great rendition. Really enjoyed it. Is it available as an MP3 file ?
Thanking you, Mr. Media900, Sir. Good question - I appear to have the audio as a .wav file.
Is this any use?
Yes that would be really useful if you could make that available somehow to download
Leave it with me and I'll try to get it posted to SoundCloud. o__
