This is my acoustic cover of "Simply The Best" and my tribute to the one and only Tina Turner 🖤 I played it on a hand made 12 string acoustic guitar, that was built by my dad and also added some vocal harmonies. Audio recording and mixing was done in Cubase 12. The cinematic video for this acoustic cover of "Simply The Best" by Tina Turner was shot on the Lumix S5 camera (in V-log profile) using Lumix S 85mm & 35mm f/1.8 lens, ND Variable filter and Black Mist Filter 1/8. During filming I also used hazer to create a bit softer (cinematic) look. The video was then color graded in Davinci Resolve 18 without using any of the external plugins.

Lyrics:
I call you when I need you, my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need

Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love like you know what it means
Mmm, and it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, baby

You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead

In your heart, I see the star of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place

You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart,
Baby, I would rather be dead

Each time you leave me, I start losing control
You're walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh baby, don't let go

You're simply the best,
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart,
Baby, I would rather be dead
You're the best
