Don McLean | And I Love You So | Performed by Vincent van Hessen
Climbed 670 meters in the Bukhansan national Park in South Korea, with guitar, gear and all to realize this video recording. Is the toughest video recording venture I've ever undertaken, physically. I was sure the view would be amazing up there... But as one can see, there isn't much to see. The guy watching me perform this Don McLean cover of 'And I Love You so' , was pretty flabbergasted, seeing someone perform music at such a height. He's remark at the : " Oh Leally heavy" is a precise description of the general sensation that day. So heavy my whole body hurt.

I've known this song since I was a toddler, loved it since I was a young teenager.
Recently decided to create a cover for this song by Rod Stewart which most buskers usually,
do not even consider performing.
Hope you like
Vince

Woke up before dawn to shoot this video with a perfect sunrise to create the metaphor of the color yellow as a decor to this humble video .
YELLOW written by Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion AKA Coldplay from their debut CD 'Parachutes'.
was a CD I played in a loop on my nightly drives during my busking tour years between 2013 and 2015.
This cover ended on my covers CD
'Vincent van Hessen-Traveling'.
is probably an ode to all those nightly travels.

SYSTEM CRASH
In the year 1999 a new logistic problem presented itself for the first time in human history as the technological world just embraced utilizing the aid of computers more and more by then.
The Year 2000 problem, also known as the Y2K problem, the Millennium bug,, is a class of computer bugs related to the formatting and storage of calendar data for dates beginning
in the year 2000. Problems were anticipated, and arose, because many programs
represented four-digit years with only the final two digits — making the year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900.
An imminent danger of a global SYSTEM CRASH. Was looming large.
In earlier personal computers, attempting to write data to hardware addresses outside the system's main memory could cause hardware damage, so the problem seemed unforeseen.
September 11th occurred in 2001, and this piece was recorded on September 12th 2002.
Just before swiping, filming and social media on Smartphone, the danger of a crashed system was always present.

"Everybody's Talkin'" is a song written and recorded by singer-songwriter Fred Neil in 1966. The best known version of the song was recorded and performed by Harry Nilsson.
Harry Nilsson's version is an absolute masterpiece an Evergreen greener than White Widow grass.
I always loved this song since I can remember myself.
It's very hard to compete with the original version of the song which was featured as the theme song in the film Midnight Cowboy in 1969.
And this very modest attempt to cover 'Everybody's Talkin', was recorded live into a video cam in Mitzpe Ramon (Hebrew: מִצְפֵּה רָמוֹן, lit. Ramon Lookout; Arabic: متسبي رمون) a town in the Negev desert of southern Israel.
The name Ramon comes from the Hebrew "Roma'im" meaning Romans. It is situated on the northern ridge at an elevation of 860 meters (2,800 feet) overlooking a sizable erosion cirque known as the Ramon Crater.
It's not an easy song to cover as the vocals require the skills of a voice virtuoso such as Harry Nilsson which is extremely hard to match, and the guitar finger picking riff is not one of the easiest to perform.
The song was recorded in over 14 takes and this video was referred to as:
'Everybody's Talkin' Take 12 during video recording, in which a little gag takes place:
