True, not bad at all.

I pulled up Perry's version to hear the difference. And listening to them back to back you can really tell what a truly unique quality Perry has to his voice. Mr. Perry was definitely at the front of the line when they were handing out the best vocal pipes. Love the demo, but would love to hear a cleaned up version of that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8Nf6ElI048

This cover is alright, but it isn't Perry.

Enjoyed it myself

Check out the band Raine and their version also - better than the Jidhed version. Album's called "Peace".

I didn't like it that well, to be honest.

Jidhed's album "Full Circle" is pretty good. "Lost Angels" is one of the weaker tracks on it.

In comparison to Perry's its too slowed down otherwise it'd probably be really good. On the plus, the sound is cleaner, Perry's a little grittier.

Haven't heard the Raine version yet.

Here's a couple other tracks off Full Circle

Even with shitty quality, the vocal and song are still impressive. And I'm no Loon, but this was the wrong way to tackle that song.

You got that right

Does anyone know why Perry never released this song instead of selling the rights? Or, whoever the writer was selling the rights? A little tweaking here and there and this would have gotten a lot of radio play..on both secular and Christian radio.

Perry is great but, given the context of the song and Christian overtones, this would have been a great solo song for guys like Michael Sweet or John Schlitt. Those dudes would have crushed this song on Christian radio.

Just listened to this. It's hard to listen to Perry's voice singing this and then Jidhed. He sounds a LOT like Augeri in several parts. Not bad.

I love Jim J. nothing comes to close to the vox he put down on the first Alien (1988) album. good stuff tho.

Anyone know who wrote this track?
A comment under the Perry-sung version of 'Lost Angels' over on YouTube, (since deleted), claimed Perry wanted writing credit for this track for doing nothing but lending his vox to it.
As a result, it was never officially released.
Not to diminish the man, but the rumor of Perry demanding writing credit for doing nothing except singing is not new.
Can anyone shed some light?

I found this comment there:

TexasRokker wrote:

WRONG! He didn't write the song. He never owned any rights to it. He provided vocals on another person's composition. He wanted to release it, but claim co-writing when he did none of the writing. The person who wrote it refused. That's why you will never see it released.

I have the Jidhed cd (stored away in a box somewhere). If I can find it I'll see what it says for credits. I'm curious as to what happened as well. Explains a lot though, a great track not being released is uncommon.

Appreciate it. Thanks.

This was the product description for Full Circle on Amazon.com

Full Circle is a great introduction to the amazing talents of Jim Jidhed. The melodic rock songwriting on this album, and Jidhed's vocals are stellar, and to top things off - the whole thing sounds amazing. So credit where credit is due: Tommy Denander deserves a standing ovation alongside Jim for "Full Circle" as a whole.

Good stuff, reminds me of Bon Jovi or an edgier Richard Marx.

Cliff's CD 'solo' is prolly his best, Kalia is the most amazing tune.

I, for one, feel that an exceptional vocalist, this being Perry, who can make a song a hit BECAUSE of his vocals, has a right to call the song his, along with the composer. Sinatra contributed to the writing of only seven of the many, many songs that he made famous with his vocals. " for doing nothing except singing," has got to be the understatement of all things Perry.

I dont care how good a singer someone is, if they didnt write the track, then they didnt write the track.

Show me where Perry demanded writing credits for something he didn't write and I will agree with you but I refuse to accept hearsay.

Well I agree with you. But I'm just arguing against your point.
