hmm..it's ok I guess...don't really like the beat on his version of depend on you though
and his Japanese sounds a bit ... I dunno...off?

and the step you rmx, I guess it's ok, since he didn't change too much
but again I don't find it that interesting to listen too.

he did an ok job with the two songs..
but too bad for him the original is just too damn good

There's no point in doing a remix or a cover that sounds exactly the same as the original, though. Then you're just setting yourself up for failure and harsher criticism for lack of originality and inability to accurately recreate a classic.

I actually hate the groove of the original and 10th Anniversary versions of Depend on you. It's overly simple and flat and hardly syncopated at all. To me, that's just kind of jarring for a contemporary pop song. Bentley Jones' groove and arrangement are fantastic!

After listening to it more often, I think he did a pretty good job though,

but I still think it's still missing something, musically I think it's still euro poppy sounding..
I still find it a lil too simple, lacking depth... not saying it's bad, although it sounds like I am lol
I think he should have taken it further as a rmx, I think it's still quite close to the original, it wouldn't hurt if he did ..again imho

Basically (I think) what I'm saying is: make a good cover or rmx the hell out of it,
give me a kick in the pants and don't make forget it..or something?

but..I think that's kinda what you said Evolusean...?? (sorry I'm sleepy)

I'm not too fond of the 10th anniversary version of Depend on you,

but speaking as a musician, nothing beats a (good) live performance


*p.s. I'm kinda half asleep right now and probably can't remember half of what I wrote,
so please forgive me if I'm offending any of you in any way.. + any typo's ty

He's SO good! Even though it has a little slang on some parts.

here is the lyric

Depend on Me.

I searched the night for some time to kill,but all I can find are stars.
And the wake of my biggest mistake, we will all lay down my heart.
I stumbled on no memories like a ghost that I forgot.
And now I’m lost on empty streets that keep getting dark.

Oh I don’t know who you will become;
I don’t know where you’ll be.
All I can promise you is history
the future’s a place where we cannot be.
When all is said and done,
I will be free and when I’m gone you’ll come to depend on me,
and some will see you stand alone into a lode.

The rain upon the window pane is a hundred whispering words;
they tell me where the door is to leave and how I should learn.

Oh I don’t know who you will become; I don’t know where you’ll be.
All I can promise is you wont hurt me,
just close your eyes that’s where i ll always be.

When all is said and done,
I will be free and when I’m gone you’ll come depend on me,
And that’s how you’ll see you stand alone into a lode.

And when all is said and done, I will be free and when I’m gone you’ll come depend on me, you’ll make a path that we must tread into the land.

Oh I don’t know who you will become;
I don’t know where you’ll be.
All I can promise you is history the future’s a place where we cannot be.
Although I know it’s true ‘bout me and you.
I can’t deny that I depend on you.
Now I have found you let me down never again.

When all is said and done,
I will be free and when I’m gone you’ll come to depend on me
and that’s how you’ll see you stand alone into a lode.

And when all is said and done,
I will be free and when I’m gone you’ll come to depend on me.
You’ll make a path that we must tread into the land.
