valerie - joseph solomon (amy winehouse cover)

hey! this is my soulful acoustic cover one of my favorite songs by Amy Winehouse: Valerie!

------
hey! many are always asking "what kind of .... did you use for this?" well here is my equipment. using my Amazon shop links help a ton! It's still Amazon, and it's still the price you would pay normally. I help you, you help me :)

aight i'll just say it myself this time: this video really should have over a million views lol

[heyjavonnejay]

"and I miss your *kinky* hair"... LOVE this rendition and how you made it your own. Amy's birthday is next week 9/14, I feel like she's looking down and grinning ear to ear from up above. Thanks for keeping her legacy alive. ☺️🕊

i haven't uploaded a video in a while because i had laryngitis for almost a month. i was invited by Stevie Mackey to sing at the famous "Taco Tuesday" event in LA (that version is their youtube channel). Such a great experience. I decided to cover Valerie there, even though my voice was very hoarse and i didn't know the words by heart lol. now that my voice is better, i decided i could give another swing at this beautiful song!

Dude sitting here reflecting and taking it in. Slow down people life is love. Much respect this dude is my guy all love

[nicholasschwabe]

This sends healing vibrations throughout my body

[ariannekayecastor]

The plants are just as great as the voice. Healthy, cool, and chill.

[sanyakhan]

oh my god, amy had the most orginal pure songs out there and to finally have a voice that can carry the song as good as she did is crazy, i got chills

[kristalynnmertz]

Like smoother than silk, that voice. I could listen to him all day, all night, all my life long. The sweetest sound.

I’ve never heard a mashup of Valerie and Charlene before and I absolutely love it!!

[jaredcadogan]

For anyone interested, I think that these are the chords he's playing:
Verse: "Well sometimes... in my head I paint a picture"; (Bb7M, Cm7) x2
Pre-Chorus: "''Cause since I've come on home... Why don't you come on over Valerie"; (Eb, Dm)x3, F, Bb7M
Chorus: "Valerie" Cm7, Bb7M, Cm7
Bb7M: X-13-15-14-15-13
Cm7: X-15-17-15-16-15
Eb: 11-13-13-12-11-11
Dm: 10-12-12-10-10-10
F: X-8-10-10-10-8 (? not 100% on this one, hard to see his hands)
And it looks like he has a capo on the 1st fret. For anyone curious its 7 half steps up from the original key! Cheers!

Moço pelo amor de Deus eu tô me tremendo.
Eu amo essa música há tanto tempo e você trouxe todo um jeito diferente pra ela. Cada arrepio aqui... Genial. Absolutamente genial.
Ps: i didnt want to comment in english cause it would lose all the emotion. portuguese did it pretty much better saying my emotions, but i just said i loved your cover so freaking much.

[maximilian]

your voice makes me fall asleep istg, its so beautiful and calming yet raspy and growly idk how to explain it

[saniorah]

Come on missing her "kinky" hair. I appreciated that addition ❤ I thoroughly enjoyed this. This is one of my favorite Amy Winehouse songs you did a good job capturing this with your own warmth and tone and throwing in Anthony Hamilton's Charline... (another favorite) at the end was good story telling.

[jordeminnis]

He just has fun with it. That’s what I LOVE! That’s what I appreciate!! 😅🧡

[moniqueguerrero]

when the music relaxes and calms your nervous system. What y’all know about that? 💆🏻‍♀️ Amy would be proud.

[nayellyflores]

This is magic
his voice is a whisper to the heart, and it's so moving

[Vivi.L.icious]

Oh! My! God!!! I have goosebumps all over my body! This is one of my whole life favorite tunes and the way you sing it touches me in such a special way. Your voice is breathtaking and it hits me again and again ! ❤

[britfudge]

I listen to this song everyday. Multiple times a day. When I wake up, on my lunch break and it’s the first song I put on when I’m home. Absolutely in love.

[rdudareis]

[cynthiaalvarez]
