do it your own way...why wouldn't i just go listen to jon sing it? give me a reason haha your great just be different. i have a low voice too but seriously this is really low
dude im sorry but your trying too hard to be jon foreman,, with the hair shirt and matching soundhole cover,, not to mention the voice,, which is great,, but i really think itd sound better if you developed it around your own tone..
I've never heard anyone sound anything close to Jon Foreman. He's brilliant and you're being compared to brilliant--that's awesome, Dominic. I love your arrangement and it's clear you are very talented.
Great effort but the vocals can be a bit "pitchy" and it kind of takes away from an overall great arrangement. There are times when it's spot on and other times where I'm grinding my teeth.
You do well trying to sound like Jon. I don't know if that is your natural voice or if you are trying a bit harder to emulate Jon's voice. Yet, if you are changing your voice, that might be where the pitch issuses come in.
Still, way to come up with your own instrumental take on it! Keep at it, man!
If I didnt hear switchfoot's version of this song on the hello hurricane teaser. I would've thought this was jon foreman's voice, still cant believe its not jon foreman singing
Also, why is there so much gain on every instrument and vocal it makes it sound way too dirty and and degrades the quality of the recording. Try getting a master limiter for your recording program too, it will def help man!
You don't understand my comment, this is too good of a song and band to really cover such a great song such as this, he is off pitch in this like every 5 notes and it is really hard for me to listen to it, I mean musically sure it is ok. I am not trying to be a jerk, I'm just critiquing the quality of it. Sorry if you disagree with my opinion sir, I am entitled to it and you yours.
What are you talking about? The good songs ARE the ones that you are supposed to cover. There is no song that is TOO good to be covered? Are you kidding me? He's not singing off tune. Listen to his voice, he's amazing. Do you really think he wouldn't realize that? He's changing the song, the whole point of a cover is to create your own version of the song, not sing it note by note and create a copy of it...and I agree with wayne I'd like to see you post a cover.
I'm all for peace and love. And I love the effort put into the cover. It has high production quality, but really...the vocals are consistently flat. Evan is right. You do have an interesting and pleasing tone to your voice. That really is more than half the battle. Keep working and I'm sure you'll get it where it should be.
This is terrible, not trying to discourage you and your music but just make your own stuff and please don't ruin a great song by a great band. The guitar sounds good in the recording and that is the only good thing I have to say.
:S The song isnt even out yet! He hasnt ruined the song, Just because your opinion is that he wrecked it. Not everyones is. Just because 1 person thinks that he should shoot someone, does that mean everyone does? No? kthnx.

I don't know what's everyone talking about. I liked your version a lot actually.
The only think I didn't entirely like was the fact that sometimes at the end of certain sentences you wouldn't entire pronounce/reach the note.
But other than that it's a great cover.

i personally like the switchfoot version better, but if id heard this first i would probably love it... it's just because im used to the original

Very monotonous! This song is suppose to give hope to others and not sharing their grievances. I'd term this as the perfect "funeral song".

This cover is brilliant. Sounds very professional. You do kind of sound like Jon, especially during the bridge. Nice work.
