Summer of 69 - Cover (Bryan Adams)

Summer of 69 - Cover (Brya... Lyrics & Chords

Bryan Adams is one of the best voices ever and I believe any cover of his song ends up sounding like a joke…… Please be kind enough to not laugh at this attempt of mine :)

Lyrics -

I got my first real six-string – bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled – it was the summer of ‘69
Me and some guys from school – had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married – I shoulda known we’d never get far
Oh when I look back now – That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice – ya – I’d always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain’t no use in complainin’ – when you got a job to do
Spent my evenin’s down at the drive-in – and that’s when I met you – ya
Standin’ on your mama’s proch – you told me that you’d wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand – I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life – back in the summer of ’69

Man we were killin’ time – we were young and restless
We needed to unwind – I guess nothin’ can last forever – no
And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin’ on your mama’s porch – you told me it would last forever
Oh and when you held my hand – I knew that it was ow or never – ya
Those were the best days of my life – oh ya – back in the summer of ’69
Ya – me and my baby in ’69

It was the summer of ’69

Hmmm… Its pretty tough to cover this song for a reason that the pitch is too high… Even in your try, it sounded like you had a lot of trouble singing… However, I would still consider this better than most of the summer of 69 covers that I’ve heard around here!!

By the way, check the lyrics that you’ve put here!! There are a lot mistakes in that!! Cheers… \m/

Sumit Rai said

Thanks for your feedback shashank…… I guess the reason why you didn’t enjoy the song …. was because you compared it with the original. I knew It was going to be the response :)

Shashank Gokhale said

Not at all….the reasong why I didn’t enjoy the song is Pitch was not confortable for you and you missed notes at lot of times…

As far s Comparing with original….Thats natural….Abybody would do it…. :D

Need to work on NOTES man…Yu would feel confidense within you when u sing Correct notes smoothly….

I liked this Sumit. I agree that the mixing could have been better. Great job overall. Little pitchy but not too bad. Here are two lines that stood out that you can probably fix easily…

1. look back NOW (different from the original)
2. nothing can last forever didnt sound right

You are living proof that practice pays off man :-)

@Sudeip … Hey thanks buddy for being so kind…. I was kinda getting disappointed unless I checked your comment…. I’m using 44100, 128 kbps…. but some I was not able to cut out the dc noise. Will use noise filter next time… thanks again :)

@George … What can I say buddy … you know how important your comments are for me…… If I have shown any improvement…. you’re the first person who is responsible for it…. I will do a better job at mixing the next time… Thanks for being there for me :)

Sumit Rai said

Thanks Nithya !!…. I had no idea people were even going to like my attempt…. as the original is of such high standard. I surely take your comment seriously and will practise more. :)

I personally feel everytime someone attempts this, they try too hard and goof up with the accent. I think you just need to manage that too. Now i know that easier said than done considering how much all of us are inspired by bryan chap and this song :)

Nice attempt, it is pretty tough vocally for this one… so well done for trying :) Good effort.

Vocals need to be improved in 90% of places… they are nearly there, but just can’t get high enough to sound convincing to me.

Maybe just try your natural tone, and be yourself. You have a nice voice :D
