Cover of Into The West

My version of Into The West. I'm not a professional, and it's done in my home with only my microphone and my piano. I am NOT Annie Lennox, I do not try to sound like her. I have my own voice, and my own style, so please, if you're going to critique me, please do so while keeping that in mind. Thank you.

Lyrics:
Lay down your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling,
you have come to journey's end.
Sleep now. Dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling from across the distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon will see all of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
you're only dreaming.

What can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come
to carry you home.
And all will turn to silver glass.
A light on the water,
all souls pass.

Hope fades into the world of night
through shadows falling
out of memory and time.
Don't say we have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.

And you'll be here
in my arms
just sleeping.

What can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come to carry you home.

And all will turn
to silver glass.
A light on the water,
grey ships pass
into the west.

... Was not expecting that XD

My gods, you sound so ... ok, dare I say it, 'sweet'.

... You can murder me if you want to. I want a clean recording of this!

And I want your piano fingers.

@Skaerin

Ha! My SkaiTwin. ^_^ I'm very glad you like it, though I still think it's rather icky. And you can record a clean recording if you ever get your rear over here! <3

[jpppen]

Not bad. Just lose a bit of the echo. It is taking to much away from your voice! Nice job!

[ScentOfMommy]

@jpppen

The trouble is, I'm very insecure about my voice, so I don't think it sounds good withOUT the echo. LOL

[ravie88]

I was pleasantly surprised...I like your voice, I wish the recording was better quality though.
