About this music
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/

Thanks Deepak !!...Yup It was tough man :).... I am glad you understand that… I corrected the lyrics.
Well Musically…its tough…too sing at that high scale…So i wud say good attempt…
but i really didn’t enjoy a lo ike ur other uploas…
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 :)
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…
my rating 5/5..Good stuff !! Sumit..sounded great..just a little feedback..whats the bitrate of the files u are uploading ? i think the mix in general couldve been better ! i loved your voice !! seems like youve been consistently practising !
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 :)<br/><br/>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 :)Hi Sumit, I absolutely like your voice. suits this kinda numbers. you may just have to practice a bit more for this!
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 :)
Ya prateek I know what you mean :).. I will try to do a better job next time.
hey, i really love this song, so since i play guitar, i know each and every original note of this song… there are lotsa mistakes in this… anyways good try…1 question for u dear.. can u rap?
