Simply marvellous, I can't imagine the time and effort you put into your renditions but as always the result is as gorgeous as are our Maids. Thank you brother Alexej 🙏
Even with a "cover" with no vocals I get chills and the onion ninjas come out of hiding. This tells people just how powerful the emotional connection between the Ladies and their fans, when they can evoke that type of emotional response. Thank You Alexej. You have done another fine job of bringing forth the Ladies music.
Manchmal ist es einfach schön, mein Freund, dem Auto play zu folgen und eine kleine Reise in die Vergangenheit zu machen! Es ist schön wie immer! LG, Ben❤
Danke, mein Freund! 🙏 Ich finde es wirklich toll manchmal eine kleine Reise in die Vergangenheit zu machen. Mit Musik es ist sogar besser 🙂 Liebe Grüße, Alexej 💛
@@alexejbagrintsev When we meet in person my friend, I promise to tell it to you then 😉 (if you come to a future North East USA BAND-MAID show, I'll definitely be there, especially in the NYC area). Till then Lord Vorador, Vorador, or simply V works. 😁
What is it about this song? I can't listen to it or watch a performance without finding it genuinely moving and emotional. I honestly thought I would be safe listening to a cover, even one as brilliant as this. But no, twenty seconds in and I have to pretend to have a cold. Brilliant as always and just perfectly done.
The song that saved my sanity during the plague years and gave me hope for sunnier days. The song that still moves me the most. A beautiful adaptation, immaculate timing and altogether wonderful. Thank you yet again Alexej for all your hard work and passion and dedication.
Great Alexej! Don't mind saying that this one really _needed_ to be a good performance because of fans attachment to the song - a special song to many because of the circumstances surrounding its release. Nailed it.
Good day , Alexej ! I am always on the look out for melodies that might lend themselves to a proper cover of a Band Maid song . After many , many listenings of SHAMBLES , I am impressed by the beautiful melodies layered into this song ! Overall, the song is organized chaos . Specifically , the song is typically intricate for the Maids and has melodies that stick in your head hours after listening . I hope you had a fine Summer and are ready for the beautiful , crisp and cool Fall days ! On a totally unrelated topic ...While doing some Akane related research...I found out that any grouping of primates is referred to as a SHREWDNESS ! It sounds like the name of a Band Maid instrumental ! 😆🦍♥️
Good evening, Frank! Totally agree, there are so many beautiful melodies in it, but the song is not easy to cover. I tried, but failed. Who knows, maybe I will find the way 🤔 Thanks, I did, hope you too. Ha, that would be great 😁👍
@@alexejbagrintsev I don't think there is a RIGHT way to cover a difficult song . If it is recognizable as the intended song , the rest should be open to interpretation. At least I believe Kanami would admire the ATTEMPT and the willingness to EMULATE her brilliance . Of course, if the attempt is not up to your personal standards it would make perfect sense to walk away from it . 😁👍
@@frankandre4385You are, the first thing to do is to make the song recognizable. That is the song which can't be played without effects, so I'll have to find the right one, and steal Akane's part, otherwise it will sound too soft.
@@alexejbagrintsev Yes , you are the artist . 😁 I can only offer 58 year old opinions from the distant balcony ...📢 I am grateful for the time you give me !
Alexej, you are a hero of Maidiacs! And a damn fine cellist! I can't imagine how much time you put into all these amazing covers, but your efforts are appreciated more than we can say! Thank you! And take a bow! Bravo! Bravo!
Thank you, Charles! 🙏 Appreciate your support and attitude towards me🤝 It is always a pleasure to share covers with you 🙂 Take a bow too! Hope everything is well in your world.
@@alexejbagrintsev Well i won't bore you with my health, Alexej, but my fave black cat had to be put to sleep this morning. She got an infection in her front paws but before the vet found out the cause the flesh died & would've turned gangrenous. That's quite sad for me unless you don't like cats :( Anyway how are you? Mieux told me in an email it was wonderful to work with you again. It also helps that she loves the cello :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 So sorry for that, Gary... Hang in there. R.I.P cat 🙏 I'm fine, thank you. On vacation now l, so I can focus on practicing, covering BM and other songs, having a rest. That was a pleasure to work with Mieux again, she is a great singer and a nice person. It is a pity she has health issues... Almost everyone loves cello, only violinists don't, but nobody loves them.
@@alexejbagrintsev Thx Alexej. Yeah Mieux said she still can't sing yet & i told her to look after herself completely. She said she's been getting plenty of bed rest & feels a bit better day by day. Oh violinists just like to show off with noodle-fests, it's cellists that play the actual music, even i know that. Enjoy your vacation or as i say "Holiday".😎
Very very cool as usual, Alexej. You know I'm a sucker for pizzicato, and it fit perfectly. Really nice harmonies you added too - the song really responded well to those. Played beautifully of course!
Bravo Alexej! I felt like I was in a fancy Masters and Princesses banquet, ha ha ha! I don't think that we'll get the desert though (banana cake); Akane and Kanami are the servers, lol!
@@alexejbagrintsev Maybe that but I think that Kanami's classical piano training has a lot to do with it. Listening to a lot of classical music would help her to understand where everything goes and the detail required. I bet any money she takes a look at your arrangements :)
@@K.H.D710 HAHA. Well originally it was called "About Gary" but the Maids didn't think that was fair. Mr K i really want to know if you know the themes of each of Miku's written songs? Of course i could ask Pohojisan but i'm asking you first.😌
Every new time your covers become even more beautiful. Five different screens, five different styles... This is amazing. And I think "Five" is for five members of BAND-MAID, right? I love slow BAND-MAID songs and "about Us" is one of my favorite. And you created a perfect cover. Thank you for your work and for supporting BAND-MAID. Вялікі дзякуй за гэтую выдатную кампазіцыю. Заўсёды чакаю новых песень ад цябе з вялікім нецярпеннем.
I'm experimenting and adding more voices. There are up to 12 in this cover and more than 5 styles. Right, every video refers to one lady (upper row : Saiki, Miku. lower row : Kanami, Misa, Akane) . Thank you! 🙏 I love them too, "Page" is my most favourite song. Няма за што, Дзіма. Дзякуй. За раз у мяне водпуск, таму будзе больш кавераў 🙂
Alexej - WOW - AWSOME cover of this beautiful song. My favorite part was when you {lower center} came in with those low deep notes...very effective moment in the song. thanks - Peace & Respect from Montreal
Thank you Fernando! 🙏 That is Misa's voice. Her part is especially diverse here, I tried to catch most details. Totally agree, she did it very effective. Peace and Respect from Künzelsau.
@@GaryHolloway-810 I am still Sleeping. I wake up at eight O’clock Hamburg time. Anti Will Find out: oh, no,rain today! That’s wundervoll! And I will find News from London! In der will say: oh That’s Fine today!@Volbeat, wonderful Day! And now I need my Morning Coffee!! LOL!😪🫶🏻🤘🏻✌🏻
I HATE rock ballads. When the band released this song, I did not like it for one bit, though I appreciate the fact that they did it with the best of intentions. And then they played it live with Saiki absolutely belting and MISA freestyling like there is no tomorrow and they managed to hit a string. And then there is the cello version ... goddamnit! I'm not supposed to like this song, you beautiful bastard !

Thank You Alexej. You have done another fine job of bringing forth the Ladies music.

Almost no one can't resist Band-Maid ballade magic, especially when it comes to their most moving song...

The song is amazing and I'm glad it saved you. That was a tough time...
Thank you, Tony 🙏
I will do my best.
Exquisite, Alexej ! You are like a firework with a very long wick ! I'm always waiting anxiously for the next musical explosion ! 🎇🎻.

The next one definitely won't be a ballade, but I hope it will fit the cello.

Kanami uses acoustic instruments while composing, and that is the main reason, I assume 🤔
