Dropping this to F would probably be perfect for you instead of starting in A. I had a problem with King of pain by the police until I heard Alanis Morisette do a cover of it and she dropped the song 3 notes. Finally I was able to sing it without going too deep or too high. I know you probably want to stay true to the original key but remember, the musicians can change to suit the singer a lot easier than vice versa. your voice is spot on by the way. If anyone ever says otherwise... jealousy lol
Great job. What key did you sing it in? The chorus is indeed ball-busting. Harmony helps even it out a bit, but it's a stretch for any performer. What note do you top out at in this song?
Andy McKee does a greta instrumental cover of this song. If you haven't heard it I would strongly suggest looking it up on YouTube, I think you'd really like it.
great cover, added to my favorites. This is possibly my favorite cover ive been able to find. You have a fine voice sir, dont let the high note comments bother you.

@JoshaHoudt ahh well im not getting paid for it and if a few peeps like it then thats good for me :) although I do agree with you don't look to much into it my friend, its just music and take it light heartedly
surely the high notes are worth it for the silly expressions on my face eh ;)
@babs2002ukus dude idk what joshhoudts voice is like but i have ZERO vocal skills and would KILL for even just yours. i thought it was a very well done cover.
@babs2002ukus I think you did very fine on the chorus. As the notes are at the high end of your scale, they weren't over it, though. Good job! You got a great voice, dude!
@babs2002ukus dude you did fine on the high notes. you were on pitch and everything. obviously you're not gonna belt out that G, but you hit it fine, and the harmony sounded nice. don't worry about that kid.

@Aleksand89 , oh right. I cannot criticise people if it's not their fault they're not good at something. How foolish of me! Tell me though, are mistakes ever one's own fault? Nobody WANTS to do something wrong... 8-)
Oh, and also: Dude, you 21, judging by your nickname. Don't you think the days of calling people names, also on the internet, should be behind you by now?
@JoshaHoudt well i'd say everything in your face but i couldn't, anyways didn't meant anything bad, just that i know what's it's like not being able to hit high notes, i have a fucking deep voice too, just listen to this guy :D
@JoshaHoudt I have to disagree, no offense. He can handle the high notes. He just didn't put enough heart into it. He just needed to open up a bit more and really belt out that chorus!!
Good effort, it's hard to reach the high notes in the original key, unless you or a beautiful lady dips her hands in a bucket of ice and squeezes your scrotum. That's the only way I could possibly sing the high notes.

I love your sound man. Very talented. Can you tell me what series that axe is your playing. Also, how about your system. What do you have there? Mic...Beta or Sure? Mixer? Speakers/Amps? Thanks!
(Sorry, my english is terrible) I love that song and the way you sing it, you've got a great voice! Congratulations from Madrid (Spain) and thank you for this version.
Thank you, Sir. I really enjoyed this cover. Sometimes I like to hear a quieter version of a popular song. That way, you can really feel what the song is trying to say! Good job.
well done mate!, im a great fan of Toto, and you sing this really well! ignore prats that comment on here cos they seem to have no life if you look at the history of there comments enywhere haha!. keep up the good work.. id like to see you try and play land down under by men at work if you could! :)
Jimmy here from NY. Great chord changes. Low vocal range for you. Maybe use a capo? Keep playing!! Too bad your so far away. We could jam. Peace. Jimmy
OMG!! MICHAEL J. FOX?? i love back to future!!! (y) i didn't read the comments, but i'm sure, that someone else did this joke before...i know :P by the way, nice cover man!!!....now the power of lovee!! yeeah!!
