The “Cover Version” Gank (Part 1) : Alex Goot
Minggu, Juni 08, 2014I think Piano is a beautiful and elegant instrument..and Men Pianist is very Charming. Just Like Him :)He is the example of Youtube Artist, self-driven, self-promoting, aside from his musicianship, relying on modern messaging and technology to get heard.
Alexander George Gut (Alex Goot) was born on March 15, 1988. Poughkeepsie, New York. He is a very talented guy, bacause he's not only a singer, he's also a song-writer and multi instrumentalist for (of course) piano, accoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, drum, accordion and other instruments.
Goot, began his carrer when he was 16, under his own website, re-arranged and distributes some of his music to the world. His YouTube channel, under the name of GootMusic has about 1.800.000 subscriber (wikipedia.com), and his video have been viewed over 200 milion times.
GootMusic has making video collaboration (of course, cover version songs) with another Famous YouTuber, such as Kurt Schneider, Sam tsui, Chrissy and Againts The Current, Megan Nicole and others. GootMusic has produce more than 90 Videos! Wuiiidddiiihhh... and has released three volumes of songs "I Wish I Wrote" with some of the versions of his channel on YouTube.
But His 4th debut album "Wake Up Call" has been released this year!

and here are some of Alex Goot cover version songs that I Choose for you. Which in my opinion, is better than the Original ones =)
Lighters (Bad meets Evil ft. Bruno Mars), ft Chad Sugg and Luke Conard
we're all right where we should be
with my arms out wide, i open my eyes
and now all i want to see..
is a sky full of Lighters...

Kenapa yang satu ini??
karena..menurut saya sih, inti dari sebuah cover version song adalah kemampuan si artis dalam mengarransment lagu sehingga terdengar beda dari versi originalnya. Nah.. kalo di lagu aslinya, kan Eminem teriak-teriak (yaaa biasa deh gayanya doi ng-Rap..kek orang marah-marah).. and i was like "Apaan sih, Em?".. tapi di video ini, part yang dibuat Rap, dinyanyikan dengan lebih lembut.hehe.
Jadi menurut saya sih..Well done, Goot!
How To Save A Life (The Fray), ft. Kurt Schneider
The reason why i choose this one is because the simplicity of the video. The backgroud setting, the wardrobe, is just as simple as that, but the song itself is amazing.
Goot banyak melakukan kolaborasi dengan Kurt Schneider, begitu pula di video ini, dan seperti biasa selalu deh ada unsur electrical instrument yang ditambahkan kedalam lagunya, jadi lebih hidup...dan alasan lainnya, karena ini salah satu lagu fav saya juga sih. hehe.
"Somewhere along with the bitterness, than i would have stayed up with you all night. Had I known how to save a life..."
Lightning, Alex Goot Music
see? bukan hanya jago cover lagu orang, Goot juga punya lagu yang di tulis dan arransment sendiri!
Here's the lyrics :
"Lightning"
No matter how hard I try,
I can’t escape that gaze tonight,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
I’m hypnotized by the way she moves,
Baby girl please help me soothe,
Imma take you to the sun and the moon,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Yeah,
And I’ve been catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can’t catch lightning,
Catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can’t catch lightning,
No, I can’t catch lightning,
She’ll make you believe anything she wants,
Make you think that you’re the one,
She will keep you there,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
She’s way up in the atmosphere
