I kind of agree with Ceez. Like the playing style though, but I do think if you slowed it down it could be so powerful.

thanks for the feedback. maybe i'll give it a go a little slower. check out some of my other stuff.

The playing is good and you have a really great, expressive voice. However, I don't like the vocalization of the song. I know you're probably trying to make the song your own... but I think your choice of vocalization hurts the performance.

With that almost Tom Waits-esque voice you have, should be able to really nail the loneliness and desperation of this song. I'd slow it down a little... use that wonderful voice to drive home the emotion of the song. Just my opinion... thanks for the vid

thanks for the feedback. constructive comments. i'll still figuring out how to make this my own, entirely. tell me more about what you mean about the vocalization. just slow it down?

You fucking piece of shit. Take a beautiful song and absolutely trash it thinking you're so cool. Either write and do your own songs or throw that God damn guitar into a dumpster and jump in after it head first.

[edknndy]

[tomtknox]

What a voice! Love your take on this song......

[DickWiseman]

Nice! You've got a very Tom Waits/Boss feel...well done.

Let me know what you think of my version: "The Only Living Boy in NY"
