welli just had to hear you again! after seeing you commented on mine, i had to come hear the only versian i have ever heard of this song, only heard Cats take once, i just love your cover of this!
thank you to awsonja1955 for this send, which i was sent recently by another friend too, Tilly220,and i didnt realize how much this song fits me! hmmmm.. i will think about singing it,but dont know it well enough .. but very much enjoyed this, i didnt hear it as good last time i was here as i was in quite a diff emotional state, which changes how i perceive a song bigtime!this was did absolutely so very beautifully and love this!
(Well I did leave a comment yesterday, but I see it didn't post.)
Not only is the song itself just wonderful, but your singing and playing are PERFECT for it.
Every song I've heard from you has been nothing short of EXCELLENT; not only your singing and playing, but also the sound quality in these videos you've posted.
ih ave to admit i only listened part way when i commented earlier and didnt know the song at all before this... and after finally having more time to listen and all... well darn my comment was no where worthy of your song.. this issssssssss absolutely awesomely fantastic!! love it very much so!
Thanks goldhat, I'm self-taught by ear, I'm not a very technical player. This is tuned down 1 step, 'finger picked' with 1 finger lol. It's all basic chords - intro Em-A, then Em-D-C-D-Em-D-G, etc. I tried to imitate the timing of a piano.
well, I finally made the leap to software recording over the last 4 months or so but before that it was an 8 track ADAT. Stick to your guns on reel to reel analog man, I think that's cool. Most of the software stuff is just for those of us that don't play so well anyway ! haha.
Ah Wow !!! I saw you had posted this as I got up for work at 6am but couldn't listen to it til I got home!! Couldn't wait to hear it and I never thought for a minute it would be as beautiful as this!! This is my fave Cat Stevens song, and now I remember why. How wonderful. Vlogged and ***** Thankyou from across the Atlantic!!
Thanks Tilly, I was hoping you would like it. I guess we both like sad songs lol. And thank you for putting this on your page, I'm glad you think it's worthy.
nice work........where can i get the instrumental version?
