Can you PLEASE put out an album of these astonishingly nuanced and moving covers. This is one of my all time favorite songs, and your version is so much a great piece of art in its own right. Let's crowd fund this thing. I'll send in my money!
A lot covers feature performers painting the song with a different color, but it's like you're working with different mediums and taking it way beyond what anyone else could imagine. It's magical.
OK, this is my favourite song of all time. It sums up the wretched zeitgeist of a mid-80s middle class adolescence perfectly. This is the only cover I have ever heard of it that merits attention and praise. You've done a marvellous thing here, sir.
".. the wretched zeitgeist of a mid-80s middle class adolescence"! Yup, that just about sums it up, and why the Smiths spoke to us in a way other bands never could. By the way, congrats on now being able to say "..yeah I was a fan of Yes the Raven BEFORE Rick Beato".
This is what I aspire to, the easy gentle, subtle movement on the fretboard with the left hand, the driving energy of the right hand. The perfectly matching, deeply personal vocals. Amazing. Well done, mesmerzingly beautiful.
Just when I'm ready to pull my hair out from being aurally assaulted on a daily basis by soulless, over produced,auto tuned, corporate propaganda (most pop music). I fInd something pure and wonderful. When the music comes from the heart, just a man and his guitar is all it really takes. Thank you sir for sharing your gift with the world.
Ok a bit late to the party… but so glad I found this. Was wondering if anyone was able to make a great cover of this masterpiece… the answer is a definite YES!
Thanks Karl : ) Stanley's one of my heroes and good friends. He's probably the smartest person I've met and IMO one of the most important guitarists of this age.
@@AlanMearns-YesTheRaven neat! Thanks for uploading it and letting me know! I drew some inspiration from your rendition when I did my own cover, even though I mostly tried to mimic the musical events of the original. You can take a look here: ruclips.net/video/2VbyvkpJ6VM/видео.html
just great! I already loved it the first time I listened to it, but after hearing the original...man, you're amazing! The best part is around 3:50. It's insane how you switch the chord so softly. And the darkness around you provides the perfect atmosphere. You just won my respect dude.
Hey Alyn, I stumbled on to this video after checking out some of Stanley Yates stuff (I'm a former student as well) and had heard about what a great guitar player you are. This cover shows something bigger than just a guitarist though, very original and artistic. I love it, keep it up!
Bravo! It's really awesome. The whole world needs its tab. It would be unfair if you leave this planet and don't share your version. It does need to be played for the next generations.
Wow, with eyes closed it’s almost like the Smiths channeled through Nick Drake! In any case, rarely does one ever hear such masterfully assured reinterpretation - clearly, Mr. Mearns “has got game”. (FWIW, I know who Rick Beato is, but didn’t get here through him.)
I want to tell you I am torally amazed by your rendition of The Smiths hit. i was wondering is that standard tuning you are playing, and are you cappoed at the 5th? I am not sure.....sorry for all the queestions but I am blown away...one more what kind of guitar are you playing? Once again I am blown away....thanks....Chris B. (Detroit MI.)
well played my friend. im drinking a HARP IRISH BEER while listenng to your rentetion for the 9 time. haunting,yet soothing.. the smiths are iconic." How soon is now" is the "stairway to heaven" of the 80s whats the tuning : capo5th Dadgad or Dadaad ?
Otherworldly....haunting... thrilling......ancient. You coaxed this song into its fullest expression. Take a bow, sir.
Enough fucking said. Great comment man 👌🏼

Rick Beato brought me here. Your music will keep me.
