Love Is Like Oxygen (Sweet) - Cover by John Scott

Hi All! Had time for another Tuesday Tuneage video. Thanks again so much for those who liked/subscribed/shared already. I really appreciate you! For those who didn't l would love if you did this time and share like crazy! I would love to get a bunch of folks listening just for the fun of it! Also if you want to be notified of new Tuesday Tuneage videos you can hit the Notify button beneath the video. I'd love it if you did!

All vocals and guitars performed by me. Plus some arranging of key and synth parts.

As I mentioned previously, if we can get up to 50 subscribers on my Youtube channel I am thinking of opening up for a request. Now keep in mind, I have to be able to sing and play it and I can't do everyone's request. But it would be fun to pick one to do. If you have a request that for me to consider please leave it in a comment on this video page on Youtube. If we get to 50 I'll pick one to do!

Why I picked this song:

1. When I first heard this song on the radio in 1978 it felt like I had just discovered Rock and Roll. I was in the early stages of trying to teach myself to play guitar. Those first loud hard chords ringing out in the beginning of the song caught my ear quickly. And the best part…I COULD PLAY THEM hahaha. Easy but soooo cool. Rock and Roll!!

2. Brian Connolly’s voice really caught my ear on this song. Especially in the more laid back verses of the song. There is quite a story behind that track. Brian, by some accounts, led a bit of a Rock and Roll life style. He was beaten pretty badly including damage to his throat which made it so that he couldn’t sing for quite some time. In fact his voice was never quite the same after. Yet he came in and laid down this track. Magic. Rock and Roll!

3. Our band from High School, One Way, used to perform this song so it was really fun to pick this song up again. In fact certain members of One Way have actually gotten together in the last year and jammed this song. Fun! However, I have never had a chance to perform this song with all of the key and synth parts. Plus the background vocals were a hoot on this. Holy High Notes Batman!

I hope you enjoy my rendition of Love Is Like Oxygen!
