Nothing Compares To You - Passenger, The Once & Stu Larsen

hello everyone - here is the 5th video in our american tour series .

a few months ago when i first came up with this cover song idea - i started to go through the cites and venues that we would be passing through . as soon as i saw that we were playing First Avenue in Minneapolis my mind immediately shot to one artist . there is no one like him . he’s an icon and undoubtedly one of the most unique and technically gifted musicians that has ever lived …. he is of course …..

JUSTIN BIEBER ….. sorry Justin ….. just joking :-)

PRINCE is originally from this city and made this venue famous by playing it a bunch of times and also shooting scenes here from his movie “purple rain” - it was pretty surreal to be playing this song in a dressing room that he must have been in so many times .

this one has a very different feel to the other videos - Bryan (www.bdosreis.com) decided to shoot it in black and white and i think it gives it a really great quality . also geri is taking the lead for this one as it was Sinead O’Connor’s version that became such an enormous hit . i need to say that vocally this is possibly one of the most difficult songs that we could have picked and geri absolutely nailed it . she is a phenomenal talent as are phil and andrew so please if you haven’t done so already - please check out The Once and their new record “departures” !!

anyway , enough of the shameless plugging of my mates haha .

really hope you enjoy this and (sorry …. here i go again) the amount of shares doubled last week and i can’t thank you all enough . please if you like it then do us a huge favour and hit the share button - can’t tell you how much each one means !

loads of love . mike !!

ppps thanks also to stu larsen , simon kemp , james scott , russ materson , chris vallejo , dan medland , thomas stein , prince , sinead o’connor and justin bieber ;-)

It's been seven hours and fifteen days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

And nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

I can put my arms around every boy I see

But they only remind me of you

I went to the doctor and guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said, girl you better try and have fun

No matter what you'll do

But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, Mama

In the back yard

All died when you went away

And I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you
