Sorry Alfredo :-[ ..... Tho I broke my thumbnail, I just couldn't keep away from this.
Bought a thumb-pick and ... well it't not the same as the nail that's for sure ... I think I need to practice more before I get used to it. .... Started out simple, but then I just kept on adding ... maybe too much ... oh well ... it was fun ;D

What a splendid version, Geir. Great vocals as usual. The harmony vocals are stellar.
I don't think you have overdone the arrangement at all.
I love it.

Great version Geir. I love the whole thing, the backer, the vocal, the backing vocals. That organ...
Looking forward to the Alfredo / ORH version...
Still may be room for a Siouxsie and the Banshees style version, though.

Whoa!
A real stunner, Geir - your Travis picking sounded pretty good to me (better than mine, that's for sure!). Really big and clear production, too - this rocks!

Kitchen sink is in on this one and all wonderfully combined. The Hammond sound kills me.
Fantastic post.

Brilliant Geir,I love your vocals on this.
When I listen to this I can see where jeff lynne got his 10538 overture from,and when I listen to 10538 overture I can see where paul weller got his changing man from.
I guess there's a sub conscious element that runs through the very heart of music that morphs and creates all kinds of different stuff.
I love the runs on this track and the fact that your recorded it all on the br is outstanding.
Well done.
