(A Taste of Honey Cover) My entry for the July 2012 CBC Challenge.

Queen of the Cover Songs...
This is something I'm doing just for fun -- to live out a lifelong dream since the age of around 7 or so when I realized that I could carry a tune (without the use of a bucket!) and it didn't sound bad. Much love and thanks go to those in my SoundClick family (and now beyond!) who helped to encourage/challenge me to spread my wings to try this out and continue to take it to the next level. Without your kind support I'd still be just a listener (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Lyrics
SUKIYAKI ======= It's all because of you I'm feeling sad and blue You went away now my life is just a rainy day I love you so How much you'll never know You've gone away and left me lonely Untouchable memories seem to keep haunting me Of love so true That once turned all my gray skies blue But you disappeared Now my eyes are filled with tears I'm wishin' you were here with me Soft with love are my thoughts of you Now that you're gone I don't know what to do If only you were here You'd wash away my tears The sun would shine And once again you'd be mine all mine But in reality You and I will never be Cause you took your love away from me If only you were here You'd wash away my tears The sun would shine Once again you'd be mine all mine But in reality You and I will never be Cause you took your love away from me, baby You took your love away from me

Very Beautiful!!!! This recording is tugging at my heart. Excellent vocals and backing. This is wonderful. It's rare I ever do this. But I put this recording on my face book page. It's just so wonderfully done. Had tears in my eyes as I listened to it.

Brilliant vocals sung with much feeling and a great mix you just keep getting better and better.
Another beautiful vocal, Mary! You sound so wonderfully Asian on this classic song. I just love the emotions which you have expressed so expertly on this classic song. And the mixing and mastering by Wayne are also outstanding. This recording is very professional from your singing to the backing to final production. BRAVO BRAVO. And thanks for the dl.

An incredible vocal performance of a tradition timeless classic. I have to agree with Rodica. Reminded me a bit of The Carpenters. Simply wonderful Clare.
