2. This was recorded pretty much on the fly so don´t bother to point it out, i know how crappy the sound is :)
3.I just wanted to record this as a way to thank Roy for hanging out there and writing amazing sonngs. Not matter how much I listen to them I just don´t seem to be able to delete his songs from my crappy 1GB MP3 player.

[TouchOfGreatness]

That was very nice. Your English was quite perfect enough! Thank you.

[mrfoxtalbot]

You are too kind :)

Thank you for commenting.

[ArianneHermida]

I think you should record this song in Spanish or whatever may be your first language. That would be amazing.

[mrfoxtalbot]

I don´t think I am qualified to undertake the task of translating this song and it wouldn´t make much sense in spanish either, but muchas gracias for your comment anyway :)

[niakitten]

Very cool!

[mrfoxtalbot]

Thanyou!.

Your video was one of the things that inspired me to record it :)

[ERICALOC]

you are amazing marry me! lol

[Davisplays]

Gato aplastao sound.

[niakitten]

Oh, wow! That's so sweet. Thank you!

[mrfoxtalbot]

It is an honor to have you commenting on my unworthy cover of your beautiful song :)

It is also great that, at least, you try to speak a little spanish! ("I had to learn to speak french, spanish, hindi and dolphin" ...that line makes me laugh every time).

Gracias Roy, keep it up, please!
