Once I Was. Tim Buckley cover. Richard Hort

Once i Was is one of my friends' favourite songs and his brother does it very well. But his brother doesn't have a camera or is too lazy to upload it so i thought i'd do it. And if Chris takes his hand off the plough de francaise and looks me up it'll be a nice surprise. I understand this all means nothing to about six billion of the population and i truely class myself with them.

I like this best among the covers I've seen/heard of this song. Your laid-back, slow and meditative reading works pretty well, though at a cost of some of the pathos and drama of Tim's original. pwaltersabc has a recent cover that seems to reach a little more for that, and kind of hints at a melody exploration that is also intriguing but just is too tentative and uncertain to really get there. (but take a look!). thanks for sharing, and go tape your friend's brother!
