Liner Notes:
Hello, is it me you're looking for? Such an iconic song from the '80s. Such a beautiful lyric and melody, written by Mr. Richie himself. Although I'll never understand how a blind woman could sculpt a face she's never seen or presumably touched. There's no clay sculptures in our video, for better or for worse. ;)
A fan recently suggested I cover this song, and I'm so glad he did. The thought intrigued me, so I sat down with my guitar and came up with this acoustic arrangement on the spot. It's an incredibly fun song to sing. I can't get enough of it.
Mike Massé - vocals, rhythm guitar
Rock Smallwood - lead guitar
Bryce Bloom - bass
A big thanks to Rock for working out his lead part, incorporating elements of the orchestration, as well as nailing that signature guitar solo.
Bryce was out of town when we filmed the video, but we filmed it in his absence with his blessing.
I have a confession to make: we didn't actually record this at that studio (Third & James in Denver). We just filmed it there. This is a home recording, like most of my other recent videos. Were you fooled? ;)
The engineer you see is the amazing Matt Legge. I met Matt when I recorded a CD in Nashville at Peter Frampton's studio. Matt was the engineer who tracked and mixed that CD, "Something." He has worked with Ringo, Taylor Swift, and tons of other big names. He recently moved to Denver, and I'm so thrilled he's here. We've been lucky enough to recruit him as our main sound guy for the Mike Massé Band. He's a great guy and a great engineer.
Thanks to Nathan Mitchell for filming. The video looks great! Another one in 4K for you.
I recorded the guitars and vocals with a Townsend Labs Sphere L22 into my UA Apollo.

Hey Mike,
I can't wait to hear this buddy. I remember the first video of yours I watched. I sat there for a minute and wondered what just happened. My eyes saw you playing and singing. My background experience in the music industry allowed me to hear your voice and the individual instruments. But everything was telling me “this can't be a cover.” Now that I've listened to literally everything you've ever published, I'm still amazed at the quality of music you put out. The internet is crazy as you know. There are people that will thumbs down anything just to be doing it. Your fans appreciate what you do more than you know! And remember....”keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars” :) That's my cover of a famous quote from back in the day.
Thanks, Wayne. I have the nicest fans. 👍
Absolutely Beautiful 🇺🇸♥️🇮🇪🎵🎶🎼
@@waynestinyworld a very similar story is mine in case of Mike ;-) ..music industry....have seen/heard lots of (incl. the big ones)...and then came Mike hahaha ;-)
Mike that is a great recording studio . Your voice is spot on with any artist you cover. Rock is an amazing guitarist as you are. You guys compliment each other so well.
Dont even have to hear your version Mike know it will be brilliant as always, such is the Gifted musician you are. 🇺🇸♥️🇮🇪
“Hello” Mike. You’re exactly who I’m looking for!
An incredible talent w/ an angelic voice.
Thanks for letting us be part of your musical journey.
He’s so good saw him in person a couple of years ago
Wow. This guy can literally take ANY song and make it HIS. How one can do Lionel Richie and turn around to do Radiohead and do both PERFECTLY...its innnnnsane!!! I discovered this gent today and im going thru all his music with smiles all over my face. And goosebumps haha. If u dont 'feel' this guy then u have NO SOUL!!! Hearing him for the 1st time is on par with when i heard Nirvana play for the 1st time in 1991 lol. Shit youll never forget. What a damn treat.
*THANK YOU*, Matt.
@@mikemasse im very curious if you do any jeff buckley songs. Youd do Jeff proud brother.
Welcome aboard...been a fan since the first song year's ago. Mike just keeps getting better.
So beautifull..brings back childhood memories when i was a teenager in the 80s.
Weltklasse ... immer wenn ich denke Mike kann nicht mehr besser werden haut er noch einen drauf ... sensationell !!! 👌🎸
I didn't expect this to be so effin beautiful without a piano
Not ashamed to admit this made me cry. Achingly beautiful cover......
"TUSKEGEE Mike!"...I'm very proud of you guys...You KILLED it, Kids!...A wonderfully mysterious, image-provoking, love ballad...
as usual Mike, you do not disappoint. I loved listening to this all stripped down to the bare essentials...and Rock... that was simply KILLER on the solo.. actually had "feels"...
Well done all.
Absolutely superb. Nailed it
Back with a bang... Outstanding
Excellent cover. Love it.
Yaaas! Your voice! Beautiful
That’s some mean picking from Smallwood. I just love his touch...his feel. Really great job guys. This could be a hit.
Mike, I can't wait to hear this tomorrow - 'totally super excited', which at 54 years old doesn't happen that often these days! Pleased to say I'm coming to see you in London in May and also bringing my wife along too, who's grown into a big fan. I just have one request for you and Sterling; do please duet 'The Boxer'. Thanks Mike
Well, did they?
See u there
I'm a Filipino.... And I can say that you are very good sir... God bless you...
Great version .. love the guitar flourishes by Rock.
I really thought that noone could do a cover of Lionel that would reach this quality - but now I know it better! That's awesome - thanks a lot for sharing!!! And: the solo guitar parts are outstanding too!!!
