Absolutely spectacular, dude. I love this song, and I love the way you perform it. I play myself, and I've got videos up, if you care to see what I do...but damn, I wish I could execute this song like you do. Major kudos.
Hey man fantastic job. Really thin/"airy" vocal style just like Colin! Guitar part seems simple enough to play but has some cool elements. Keep it up!
Really well sung and played. 10/10 for execution. My only small criticism is that its a bit clean and straight up n' down. Maybe add a little more colour. Fall a little behind the beat in the vocals or strumming. Add your own touch to it.
this is great man. you nailed it. but if i must nit-pick, the only thing i can think to say is i wish your vocals were turned up. either that or you should have sang louder.
this version actually makes me happier than colin hays (dont get me wrong the original faultless) but the fact that you are a bit younger makes this version optimistic/hopeful/sweet.. i really like this
I am pretty sure I've learned this in a different tuning than you. Could you kindly reply with the tuning you are using? BTW incredible job, powerful performance and is that not what we as performers strive for?
Thanks so much for the reply. Gonna try it your way too if not for any other reason, yours seems to cover less of the neck in the chordings. Oh and the single note within the chords sounds cleaner in this tuning. Thanks again...
Well Done - you have did that so well that i have saved to my favourites - Colin is the man when it comes to songwriting - if you can get a hold of his latest album - its brill
Collin would be proud of that performance.;)
