Hive Open Mic #114 - More than I can say (Leo Sayer)
My guess for this week's theme was, that there would be plenty of covers of one particular song (not that many it turns out, though, lol), so my choice fell on a song by Leo Sayer, which fits the theme just as well.
Leo Sayer was quite popular in the 70s; my partner Ray regularly does one of his songs "One man band", which is good fun.
This one is quite a simple, but effective song, which expresses a lot with only a few words. Not sure why I never learned it earlier, but there you go..
I wasn't sure I would record anything this week, as I've had yet another bug... time to stay away from people, fed up with it.. 🙄😄
Anyway, here's my croaky presentation for this week.
Thanks for listening! 😃

Oh oh, yea, yea
I love you more than I can say
I'll love you twice as much tomorrow
Oh love you more than I can say
Oh oh, yea, yea
I miss you every single day
Why must my life be filled with sorrow
Oh love you more than I can say
Don't you know I need you so
Tell me please I gotta know
Do you mean to make me cry
Am I just another guy
Oh oh, yea, yea
I miss you more than i can say
Why must my life be filled with sorrow
Oh love you more than I can say

Tis a poignant one! I remember my dad was a big Leo fan. Splendid stuff!
Oh, how cool is that! 😍
Thank you so much! 😀
This is amazing, I love the guitar lines you played, it was so beautiful.
Thank you! Glad you like it! 😀
It's good to have you participate in the open Mic this week.
It's a beautiful song and nice strumming too.
Cheers💌
Aww, that's so kind of you!
Thanks! ☺
I happen to know that Mr Sayer has been to Arlesey. A friend used to operate his music gear company from his house here and Leo popped in to pick something up.
Always enjoy hearing you perform and it's a great song. One from my childhood.

😁 haha! Arlesey really is THE place to be! That's brilliant, Steve!
Yeah, Leo is in my memory too!
It's the simple words/meanings that help when you're not familiar with a foreign language yet, and this one was a definite winner in that regard at the time!
Thanks, Steve!
I love this entry more than I can say!!!
🙌🙌
Anke girl, you are rocking!! Thank you for bringing your talent and this quality!!

Many I adjust after getting them from Google as I might change genders and such..
Still, will put it just in case.

@anna-newkey my greetings and my regards, what a great interpretation, a lot of energy in that song and the sound of the guitar is wonderful, it has been a pleasure to accompany you during this song. Best wishes.
Hi, thank you very much!
I'm so happy you like it! 😀
Delightful hearing you perform, friend. Sweetest song ever. Sending my grateful applause.
Aww, thank you, Cabe!
That means so much! 🙏😍
WoW friend, I love the theme you chose, you have a fabulous style and your guitar sounds very, very good, I must learn English there are songs that I would like to sing in that language, a giant hug ❤️
That would be lovely hearing you in English!
Just go for it! You don't need to know the language straight away, just listen carefully to a song you like and try to copy it..
You'll be great! 😍😀
You might even learn it along the way.. looking forward to it already! 🤗
Hey Anke! Brilliant! Absolutely love this :) you're an awesome singer and guitarist. Amazing tone in your voice:) I liked the croakey sound, was cool :) however, I do hope you're feeling better now!
To add - I thought that the open mic for last week was also going to be full of people covering 'more than words' - I gave it a shot (couldn't resist) and only found one other cover, was quite surprised!
Look forward to hearing more from you!:) I'll check out your YouTube :)
Hey, thank you so much!
Yes, I feel fine, just got a constant tickle going on. It's probably the big C, but I don't want to think about that. 😁
Yeah, isn't that amazing? Only a couple of covers or so?
Hope, you do it one day!
Think you'll sound great!
Nice to meet you, Joey! 😀
Yes, don't think about that ;) good to hear that you're feeling fine!:)
Yep there was only a few covers! I'm ready to start making a few more guitar videos today (it's morning here in New Zealand) but I hope you've had a great day!
Lovely to meet you too, Anka!:)
