I'm not sure of this. Not as good, and definitely not better than the original. But that's not to say that it isn't great for what it is! Because it is very well done with the style that you're doing it in and going for. But with this song, in it's original form, being sooooo amazing in melody, I just think you took away from it a bit. Even just the mood of it which is breathtaking on it's on the way Sufjan does it.
Yeah, I was definitely a bit hesitant to post this, simply because the original is so beautiful, but then again, that's why I wanted to post it. A lot of people have never heard of Sufjan, and supposedly I've turned them onto Mr. Stevens, which is GREAT. Everyone should listen to the original, because this just does not compare.
having no basis of comparison(never heard the original) i'm really impressed. great song, and surprise - my cousin has had this amazing voice all this time? :)
I loved the little hand swoop into stopping the video. Lovely voice by the way.
