"Always Remember Us This Way"
Song History:
"Always Remember Us This Way" is a song from the 2018 film A Star Is Born starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. It's part of the movie's soundtrack and was originally sung by Lady Gaga. This song is a cover version done by Peter Hollens.
Sound:
The original song is a piano-driven country ballad pushed along by Lady Gaga's raw, powerful vocals.
The version featured in this post is the cover made by Peter Hollens. And because it'snPeter Hollens, the song is sung acapella. There is no trace of any musical instrument. Just the smooth and powerful vocals of Peter Hollens and his team.
Impression:
I never saw the movie. I really did not watch it. I only came across the song because I'm a fan of Peter Hollens and I always save his songs in Spotify. I know that he mostly do covers butI'm a big fan of acapella. For me it's one of the most challenging music genres and any artist who does acapella gets my respect.
Anyway, back to the song. I haven't heard the original yet so I cannot really make a comparison. But I will say this: Peter Hollens is impressive in this song. The raw emotion in the song was conveyed effectively. And his powerful vocals really suited the song. What I love about Peter Hollens is his unbelievable control. This song shifts from gentle to soft to powerful and back again. His control was evident here. And the back up vocals was amazing. Especially the ones in charge of the music effects. It's so hard to believe that everything was done vocally.
Anyway, this version of the song by Peter Hollens is available in Spotify. For those who have not heard it yet, take a look below.
