  • The Rim - Love it!

    I'm still looking for a song to cover on the uke that hasn't already been done.

  • @TheSingingSpinner I would imagine that there are lots.

  • I like this arrangement better than the original, it makes the words feel more powerful to me. Very pretty! I'm jealous of your ability to sing. :)

  • @CorporealPatronus It is not so much singing as croaking in an interesting way.

  • Nice version on the uke.very sincere.good stuff man.

  • @Sonofzulu1979 Thanks.

  • very pretty!!!

  • @SHUGABELLA Thanks.

  • you made the lyrics to the song really meaningful to me with your version. great performance.

  • @serpico009 Thanks very much.

  • This is the song I'd like to be played at my funeral some day, but until today I had no idea which version it should be. I am still simply blown away. Pure perfection not in spite of, but because of every imperfection.

  • Brilliant!

    Is the stocking cap an homage to The Edge?

  • I suppose so.

  • This is seriously great. Much better than the original. It leaves all of the bits of goodness of the original, but adds room for serious breathing. If I made a film, this would be on the soundtrack.
