[korkeycat]

It was really good mate, u just scared me a bit the way u looked at ME ! ha ha ...well done......

[mike6459]

I was on a decongestant at the time for my stuffy nose...I think the drug made me a little crazy

[crimewave66]

Good try . not a bad voice . only critic is your key and phrasing changes mid sentence

[hiyou2468]

[SidGrey]

translates to acoustic pretty good.

[mike6459]

[brincat93]

Was this song did for tall bald men??? ;)

The vid answer in my opinion is sweeter but I like how you sing and you don't have the too much strange accent the other man has

[lummo]

wonderful! not just a beautiful rendition, also a tribute to a wonderful, forgotten song. thank you!!!!!!!

[TinyChicken123]

hi mike - super cover - absolutely great - can you send me the tabs?

[rurrekrurrek]

Hi Mike!I would never thought that it is possible 2 cover this song!But you did it Fucking awsome!Thank you!

[shavedeyeball]

great song, great haircut

[mike6459]

I like to keep the hair out of my eyes so i can see the fret board

[YardbirdTX]

*(picks jaw off floor!)*

That is a beautiful cover of Nightporter!

........im speechless....great stuff bro!

[jheych]

That was excellent ! I had quite forgotten how innovative and unique this song is. Thanks for reminding me!It is so simple but yet the vox adds something . Would love the chords if you feel kind to try it myself ..Well done my friend

[dermotoblong]

thats great though get on!

[kashmir130]

Like the guitar treatment very much. But this song has to be sung with feeling.

Sylvian's Japan began life by covering loads of Motown - was not good, in fact bad material badly covered. Then came Life in Tokyo and the rest is history - thankfully.

I could send you my Nightporter vocals if you'd like.

[mike6459]

post your version

[Aifor70]

Good come back! When I was younger, I had some "bragging jazz guitarist" listening to me practicing a song I wrote & he sacastically responded, "Oh... thrash metal." As if it were beneath him. I played the riff that I wrote & then held the guitar out & said here, play it. The jack-ass responded with, "Oh, I can't play it." I retorted with wel then, shut the f@#k up! If you can't play what I'm playing don't put me, or the music down as if it is beneath you!" Let kashmir130 post his version!

[DerSisko123]

great

[ROBOgirlie]

wow

[BloggStandard]

David Sylvian AND Ron Paul... what next Alex Jones?! I must be dreaming! Amazing... good cover - thanks (like the T-Shirt too)

[mike6459]

re: Ron Paul....As a Canadian I consider Ron Paul a "World Citizen" and a statesman.

[lewid003]

Terrific!I know ive already said it but im gonna say it again.Please lets hear Ghosts!Sure you can do it justice!

[mike6459]

currently working on a slightly up temple easy acoustic version of Forbidden Colors

[krafty70]

there`s always the danger to destroy anything if you do a cover... but your`s is very nice... like it.

[mike6459]

I totally agree with you re: covers...it's a chance one always takes...interesting enough Sylvian did a cover...It Will Never Happen Again by Tim Hardin on his latest tour which he did some real justice to

[lilackitsune]

can you give me the chords??

[catablackmetal]

sounds very good on guitar!

nice work ;)

[RobinErrece]

u seem quite happy at the start lol! very nice cover man
