Here is my very humble version of a truly amazing song.
I wanted to learn this song the first time I heard it.
Sorry about the recording Geir - my acoustic really sucks. It's buzzing more than Cheech and Chong.
P.S. - Thanks for posting the chords, or else I would have never figured them out. Those "thumb" chords damn near killed me.
Nice job Vann. And great song choice.
thats a hell of a cover of a hell of a song. Very nice. The guitars sound very nice to me. And of course, great singing. Where is my Bic lighter, I need to hold it high over my head.
Great job Vanncad! I beautiful version, very pure and moving.
Great version of this really cool song! Think G will love it! ;)
Vann-tastic cover!! Probably my favorite Geir song ~ Luv it! You did a great job covering!
what a great day , i woke up to hoop covering a greeny song now as i get ready for bed van the man puts up a cover of geir. it doesnt get any better than this.
this is one of my favourites by geir but van yo the man, a stunning rendition of a stunning song.
i think i'll stay up late now.
WOW Vann I am truly honored by this !!
I LOVE it !! You have a powerful voice and this is just fantastic ....
If it's a buzzing guitar, then you've made the most of it for sure, cause I think the guitars sound perfect !!!
WOW .... on my third listen now .. this is so great !!!
Thank you Vann!! You really made my day !!!

Now Thats a Friendship!!!!
This is a Superb Version of this Song Vann!!!!!!
I Love your Acoustic Bro!!
It aint easy Playing Like G.... You do it Amazingly Well!!!!!!!!
Awesome!!!!!!
Wow, another stunning cover.
This is really well played and the spirit of the song shines through, it's fantastic that we have so many talented writers and musicians.
this may just slip onto the new MP3 player..
And remember music is not Geirs first language....
Brilliant guys.
Holy smokes, bro! I got goosebumps listening to this.
Geir is in "High Gear" from this one I guarantee you!
A brilliant and pro recording!

Superb cover of an amazingly superb song!
Bravo!

Agree with lg, superb original, superb cover. This is fantastic Vann, simple and very effective. Didn't hear any issues with buzzing, the acoustic sounds lovely to me.
Cheers,
Nigel
Forget the excuses about the guitar playing, this sounds great! The two guitars are working well.... good clean playing and clear acoustic sound. And your voice is perfect for this. A fine song and a fine performance... recipe for a great recording!
So very beautiful. I love the Geir original too (and even toyed with trying this one myself). You have captured the full emotion and direct honesty of the original, and both your guitar and vocal are wonderful. It's outstanding!
What a song. What a cover. This place is amazing.
Incredible Vann!
Love your vocals and your acoustic fills. This is my fav song from Geir too, and to have 2 awesome versions now makes me sickly happy.
Great Job!!
Stunning rendition. Love it all. Guitars aound great to my strange hen ears.

Excellent, moving song and excellent cover with some nice flourishes! I had already been humming this song ever since Geir originally posted it, and I have been dabbling in giving it a go myself, although I'm not nearly as skilled as either of the two who have done it already. Well, since plenty of rank amateurs like myself butcher Beatles songs on a daily basis, I guess it should still be ok to try it? Hey, maybe the board should do a fest some time where we pick just ONE song (preferably an easy-to-simplify-for-beginners one) and try to have as many different people cover it in as many different (including bizarre?) ways as possible?

If you're asking me it, it's absolutely ok .... :D
