@@carlcasper9758 🤣😂put Miley Cyrus on a stage with an instrument (pick one) & Mary Spender alongside and see which one will put on the better show. Mary is an accomplished musician . _ Miley is a NAME only.
This is brilliant. Mary should perform as "The Spenders" with three big TVs with pre-recorded performances on each instrument triggered with Ableton and include banter with/from the other band members.
Or don't love people who ONLY choose to love themselves and deny you except for what you provide them. Selfish lovers have no codependency and won't create any.
I'm actually stunned at how accomplished you are. You're knowledgeable, skilled, charismatic, and honest. Very cool. Props for all the difficult work. You're a star! Thanks for being inspirational.
I really admire the work you put in for these videos, it's a big job for one person. Planning, recording it all... Then shooting the different parts and getting changed for each one. Then there's any mixing/mastering. - The quality never slips, musicianship is always top notch. You set the bar for musicians on RUclips :)
@@dxmondxmned3543 ??? "not a fan" - I don't think that's being judgmental. and opinions? mine are as good as anybody else's, and we all got 'em. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. and questions? do YOU have a question? and the point? I know what the point was when she was Hannah Montana. its all about the $$$. or did you miss that point?
Based on the title, I was expecting self-loathing and I almost did not watch it. That would have been a huge mistake! This was superb. I loved every second of it and your voice was perfect for this song. Bravo!
Great concept, beautifully executed. The tone, the musicianship, the recording, great, great, great. Did I forget the singing? It was great. Top marks, Ms. Spender.
I’m simply blown away, Mary Spender! You’re amazingly talented and skilled on so many levels. I love this cover! I’ve played this several times now and every detail is spot on. Your band is in the groove lady.
Loved it, loved it, loved it. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all Mary; after 2 failed marriages, I stopped looking and then, just when I was getting happy with myself, BAM! I met the one for me; we dated and hung out a lot. I raised the idea of marriage and met BIG pushback so I said, "that's OK, If we're as happy as we are now in 20 years then that's fine with me" and nothing more was said of marriage. Then she went on a walking/drinking trip with her girlfriends to Estes National Park for a week - when she came back she said "May would be nice." "Nice for what?" I asked. "To get married" was the reply. It will be our 24th anniversary in May 23.
I saw the video title and thought, "Her relationship status is none of my business, but if she has something to say I'm curious." Now I love Miley's talent as well as the way she expresses in general. You nailed this cover, and I like your rendition better than hers. Brava!!
Absolutely love the tone of your Vigier guitars. Not only is your voice dark and sultry like tinted glass, your finger style and tone is beyond reproach. You have been one of my favorite guitarists and musicians for many many moons now, thank you for your candor and passion you give us each and every time.
As always Mary, your playing and singing are proof of your talent. The mix was well balanced and the skit make me smile. You'll be single for as long as you need to be, I guess. Even if it changes you are still a fine performer whom I respect. God bless you, Mary!
I don't disagree at all that's she's a great singer, but as you mention pitch: close listening makes it pretty clear that Melodyne (or sth. similar) has been used on the vocals. ...Again, not to take away from her skills, I'm sure it would have sounded just as good without that - or quite likely _better,_ in fact.
I am a drumma queen, and I am officially offended and am laughing hysterically! 🤣♫♪♪♫♪ Seriously, I am the one who keeps our band on track so they are not throwing bananas and climbing trees when I am not watching. 😂Love your work. ♫♪♪♫♫♪
This was cool as hell. I've not heard the other version so this is the only one that exists in my universe. What an enjoyable little groove to brighten my day, thanks!
What an excellent song, composition, groove and vocal harmonies. Each instrument was so well recorded and mixed. I love what you're doing, please keep moving forward with all of your talents, super impressive!
Absolutely breathtaking! That sneaky wink from the bass Mary is just out of this world. The enthusiasm is so.. so... catchy. Mary is such a talented young lady.
@@TheExcelsiorFiles their proud that they are smart enough to stay single till they figure out whats wrong with themselves. if every relationship your in is a bad one their is something wrong with you. take the time to figure it out fix it and you will find someone worth spending the rest of your life with .
@@captaintony1227 Bit of a sweeping assumption there, that they are proud of the fact they are smart enough to stay single because they realise they're all broken and need fixing before re-entering the dating pool! Maybe some are monks or nuns...
@@TheExcelsiorFiles That they may not, in any way, be looking to get into a relationship. It was always astounding to me that while I was single, people would persistently ask if I was dating anyone, seeing anyone, anyone I'm interested in....as if that it is unthinkable to be single and not interested in dating.
I love your trio video, it is far better than the creator's in content and sound. I finding that your Trio is very pleasing to listen too and watch. All I can say is keep developing your style and sound. This is from an old guy who has been around music all his life.
as a drummer, i gotta give props to a multi-instrumentalist who actually knows how to hold sticks and is in tune with rebound. you're not doing anything crazy, which is fine, but that grip you have is spot-on. well done yo. my request is "Anti-Gravity Love Song" by Incubus.
The thing that struck me: she's relaxed. So many non-drummers play with tight shoulders, hunched over, pinched expressions on their faces - you can totally tell they're struggling. Not so here, she's in the groove.
@@adm1nspotter Yeah, she *is* isn't she? She's moving her body (like in a dance) with the groove! I once saw a drum channel mention the importance of this while reviewing Larnell Lewis at Zildjan. Also, in your original comment you mention the "rebound". I assume that means working with the vibration of the drum velum to guide the successive strokes of the drumstick. An energy conversation of sorts, rather than just slamming the drums into submission. Energy efficiency. Am I making any sense or just off completely?
I am a drummer first but play bass and guitar, the first thing I noticed about her drumming was her stick grip. I've run across her videos but they have always been guitar only.
I just heard the Miley Cyrus original for the first time and holy cow do I prefer this cover. So well done! Both the instrumentation and the vocals convey the emotional core of the lyrics to my ear better than the Cyrus version. I wish Mary's version was available for purchase/download!
Not being single takes some level of compromise. When both partners are willing the results are gold... Single now might seem better, when you're onto your elderly years it will suck...
This is simply awesome Mary! Everyone who watched this video loves it, whether bass, guitar, or drummer. Love your talent and your comments. We all do! Which is why we are here!!! Cheers!!
If i walked into a club and u were performing this I would litterally walk back out and and grab the next person on the street. "Hey mate, sorry, but I need a flower shop, like now.' That was wonderful. Your tone was so smooth and enveloping. It absolutley amazes me that your single. Cheers for the vibes from Melb, Aus
Music is your one and only true love 🥰 Great song, great sound, great production, and a great video. All three of you should be really pleased with yourselves... 😀

Flowers are overrated! Wine is where it's at.

Great song Mary! What type of fender bass is your bass player using?
The reason you are single is because we’ve never met, hahahaha..
Anyways I’m single as well for the same reason, karma is a bitch 🤣🌻
Came for the RUclips drama, stayed for the groove.
Exactly what happened to me, only I couldn't put it in words as well as you did
Objection!!! (Sorry, couldn't help it! Really enjoy your content!)
Uh, is there a collab pending?
same!
Arrived concerned, leaving grateful.

It's going to be quite awkward if this band ever breaks up.
Great voice and I love the bass in this song.
Yes, so well done!
I like the vocal harmonies, I'd hate to see those go. And some tasty guitar parts!
Unfortunately the band already broke up and are now suing the crap out of each other for royalties
@@jonathanechevers6265 I hear they are not talking to each other.

"The Spenders " are my new favorite Girl Group... ! 👍 Love it when the cover is better than the Original !
It was very good, but Miley Cyrus is definitely better.

Mary Spender in the Multiverse of Musicness
This song has a great bassline, glad your version really highlights it. The added guitars are really cool too.
This is actually a really well written song, never realized that until now.
Single is better than your best bad relationship. Love yourself and keep making great music. 🙂
...What this guy just said ^^ 🙂
Or don't love people who ONLY choose to love themselves and deny you except for what you provide them. Selfish lovers have no codependency and won't create any.
Best bad relationship? Wtf does that even mean
Your first sentence doesn't make any sense
Absolutely correct. Just stay away from any romantic relationship that is bad. There is NO need for any unnecessary drama in your life.
I liked watching you "playing with yourself". 😀😀😀
Amazing band. Equally talented trio of oddly similar looking gorgeous girls. I'll be more than happy to offer y'all flowers, well deserved.
That boot shot on the drums looked so cinematic and made the groove for me
The harmony between the band members is just awesome
Tighter than the BeeGees! ;-)
almost like it's the same person
The backing vocals are the cherry on the groovy sunday.
I really like the high-pitched backing vocals. It really hits me in a good way.
I really like the drummer... the best of the three performers
I'm actually stunned at how accomplished you are. You're knowledgeable, skilled, charismatic, and honest. Very cool. Props for all the difficult work. You're a star! Thanks for being inspirational.
You forgot to mention that she's also cute. Girl is perfect, omg.
The Mary Spencer Trio. Cool vibe.
This is great! Perfect lead in to the song! Would love to see "The Spenders" do more originals and covers in this format.
The Spenders… I like that!
Mary and the Spenders! First album; Spender Bender.
This is a legit idea especially if each Spender has her own unique personality, maybe different sides of the original just cranked to 11.
How about Sispenders?
"The Mary Spenders".. that's the ticket.. 🤣

I would guess she probably outsources some of it at her level. YTers with 500k+ subs tend to. Still loads of work though of course.
@@PerfectSense77 And why not!
Perfect for your vocal range and the compression on the mic is sweetly. Nice harmonies and solo too!
Love the multiple instrument personalities shtick!

beautiful voice and oh so talented
As a single person who is always away from home for work, the intro gave me a chuckle.
Impressed by all of it, but being another guitar player, i have total respect for others who can play drums too. Badass!
The singing is amazing as always. Range, pitch, phrasing is all so well done.
Great voice indeed. Some people have it all!
I don't disagree at all that's she's a great singer, but as you mention pitch: close listening makes it pretty clear that Melodyne (or sth. similar) has been used on the vocals.
