For the Departed (Shayfer James cover)

For the Departed

Song by Shayfer James
Cover by Tony Alighieri

When playing Dark Cabaret, I’m legally required to wear a dark beret.
Also had to transpose it up a key. Just because I can sing that low doesn’t mean I can do it WELL

If you can tell I wasn't born a boy, no you can’t

Fun fact: that percussion you hear? There’s a tambourine under the piano and I’m kicking it.

Its rlly cool how your voice sounds kinda like the exact opposite as Shayfer James's voice but it gives the exact same vibes as him, but also rlly impressive

[shinekitten]

ok your voice is so cool though??? and the beret and the wig? impeccable.

[PointofLearning]

As the fiddler on that very tune, may I say I love what you're doing? Rock on!

[imbispo]

You just managed to get such a nice mix of new feelings to this already great song, oh i loved it! Hope you continue doing theese covers!

[Valeryp]

This song is an instant earworm :D
Just remember to not overstrain (overstrech? you know what I mean) your voice!
How did you manage to make your hair look like that anyways? I was worried initially you cut those beautiful curly threads 😅
Sorry, it's an insomniac 2 AM, I'm rambling like a grandpa, I should be sleeping. Take care of yourself and what you are. 💜

Great cover and great outfit too. Very epic

[PaleRook]

Incredible video! The fact you were kicking a trampoline adds just that little flavor that’s enough for me to make this memorable, youve earned a sub.

Im extremely impressed. I have never met anyone who was capable of playing the piano and singing so well. Most people ive met either had one or the other but this guy has both and thats honestly crazy.

Ive talked to this guy in person as well. This is literally one of the sweetest people youll ever meet. He's very silly, humble, compassionate, and pretty relatable too. They often say dont meet your heros(or favorite artists) in person cause they can turn out to be a dick, but this dude is truly the exception! :))

[GardenOf-Eden]

Absolutely amazing cover! You manage to capture the concept and meaning of the song so well for me, despite having a significantly different approach and voice to the original. The original spoke of longing for "before" and a grim acceptance that hes come too far to stop. Your version is more haunting somehow, I imagine a man who's lost it all and has become resolute to see it through to the end - no matter the cost

[kelteiphigenia]

You're so underrated. This needs more attention!!!

[minimusician]

Why did I think you were cosplaying Ranpo at first? 😂 Great cover!!!!

[cats-a-lot]

THIS IS AMAZING!!! Your voice is amazing and your outfit matches the song so well

[ahmadassad]

shayfer james and tony . it can't get any better :D

[Mike-gzgy]

That was amazing!!! The delivery, your ensemble, and percussion were perfect!!! Love it!!

[nicolassantos]

Thank you kindly for the cover, i really apreciated it.

[toxicmelon]

This is a brilliant rendition of a brilliant song from a very talented artist by a very talented artist. Whoo what a mouthful XD Love it! Keep up the great and original work :D

[MacaronTrash]
