Let's face it... if it was a dude doing this same quality of cover most of you pathetic guys would slam it. No offense to mental because anyone trying to learn Neil's songs is ok with me.

Enjoyed hearing your version of Neil's song.

Keep playing, darlin.

You have a gentle beauty that shines through in your video.

Love your accent.

Zee

[mentalmoomin]

Thankyou Zee : ) I really appreciate that .. Many thanks : ) xxx

[ToLetTheWorldBe]

Very Awesome, I should send you my version. Keep it up.

[mentalmoomin]

Wow thanks ! :).. and for the subscription !! .. You should send me your version ! xxx

[14thSonofBrahman]

as long as you are paying respect to neil it doesnt matter weather or not you strum or finger pick... plus when you're cute and have a great voice it extra doesnt matter. keep up the grand work.

[mentalmoomin]

Thats a fantastic comment :).. thankyou ! xxx

[fasterthanbolt]

Very nice job!!! Thanks for sharing this great Neil's one. Peace

Paolo

[mentalmoomin]

Thankyou Paolo !! :) xxx

[uncleparsnip]

nice - and you can strum it if you want to

ignore thompson

[mentalmoomin]

I love you :).. Thankyou .. I really enjoyed doing this as it was for my friend .. I just did my best :) xxx

[thompson1260]

Sorry I didn't mean it in a disrespectful way. He has a great voice, obviously. Just in my opinion it takes too much away from the song when it is strummed as the picking is what makes it so unique. Sorry if I offended..

[uncleparsnip]

no problem thompson - no one is offended.

A song can be played how ever the person playing it wants to play it.

Neil picks it, I pick it, most other guitarist pick it....mentalmoomin strums it.

no problem.

[mentalmoomin]

:) All good :)... I very much appreciate your support my friend xxx

[mentalmoomin]

Hey dont worry :).. Was happy to have your comment :) xxx

[thompson1260]

You have a great voice, but this song is not meant to be strummed.

[mentalmoomin]

Thankyou ..yeah I guess but Im not that good with my guitar..only recently learned a basic pick.. xxx

[Noisefield]

covered this one 2. It's so a touching song. Good job!

[mentalmoomin]

I loved your cover!!..will comment... xxx

[manutdman1957]

Nice cover..havn't heard it from a women before...btw. prefer you with your hair down.

Tried "Old Man" from Neil?

give it a go.

[mentalmoomin]

Do you know Old Man is my one TRUE fave of his... I love his work but that one sticks in my head and tuggs my heart SO hard... Hmmmmmmmm thought provolking !! xxx

[rdevicsaint]

[Turquoisevoice]

Awesome tune about heroin. Me and my friend used to get drunk and sing this till the early hours of the morning.

[mentalmoomin]

Its a real beautifully tragic number... Lots of respect for Neil Young.. what a guy xxx

[MusicalWebNote]

@@===* very nice @@===* *****

[mentalmoomin]

hey thankyou :)... Love your creative writing !! :) xxx

[robibm2003]

This version just doesn't have the depth of melancholy and foreboding that the Neil Young original does. This just didn't work.

It happens. Not all songs are right for all singers.

[mentalmoomin]

Hi.. Well it was a request and Im happy I fullfilled that request.. My friend likes it .. thats all that mattered to me at the time :).. thankyou xxx
