Great version

[ekim53]

BTW, I love coffee too!

[ekim53]

Yes he does. Personally, I think the song is done too fast also. It's a romantic song and needs to be worked in this fashion. To sing it this fast, the singer who has a lot of good attributes needs to really be on top of the words. She sounds like she's trying to "catch up" and has some phasing problems and pitch problems because of this. Good musicians though...just needs some adjustments and a "take 2".

The dude in the back with the clarinet is my Gramp's

i really like the singers tone, something about it is just so hmmm smooth. perfect for this style. The only reason people dont like the vocals is because you cant really sing it at that speed. but then again this is also not professional recording. violinist is a god obv, singer and violenist make the band for me lol

[Djavizz]
