Just subscribed! love your voice, got a loverly jazzy tone. Would love to see what you think of my new original tune, I only just started up my channel. Off to check out more of your vids!
Just this question - did you play this in the original 1-step-down tuning or in the standard tuning? (Or was it a different tuning from either of those?)
Nice cover choice! You and this song...fit. It really brings out the nuance of your voice. I love elliott smith, but between you and me, I think you sing it better. Really lovely.
So Cool. You keep turning me on to new music. People I like and never would have found them with out your covers. I found you when you did your user two point oh vid. I just keep coming back for more. I love the simple video work you do, even the crazy you left your jacket at my house, that was in my head for days.
Awesome job mate, you sound like Neil Finn on this.

Great cover...did the song justice and gave it your own twist.
And I dig the Heavier Things poster in the back. Good taste overall.
