Reminiscent of the anti-war protest songs of the 60's, unfortunately it is also relevant in today's world.  I think this is one of Tharek's finest (this and 'In a Day')
It's amazing, watching you grow in your craft, Mr. 'T'. 
Keep on keeping on!  ;)

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy.

hooperman you have gone and blown me away again love the harmonies reminiscent of csny at their finest.

my jaw is on the floor once again. straight to the piepod.

Just fantastic!!! From those opening chords on the guitars I had goosebumps ... and then the harmonies come and blew me away !!

Back at the keyboard I can only say : fmgwabp ..... You've made a fantastic version of this fantastic song.

hooper you should make a cd of your tributes, i'd buy it no problem.

holy smokes this is good! cant wait to hear this in my pickup. oh yeah! hey i'm typing like jim

killer tune

Again, testimonial to how good a song this is, your treatment makes this ready for radio (in the late 60's).  This would have been  a monster hit back in the day.  Heck, its a monster today.

Killer, absolute killer! Love the chorus-y vocals and CSN&Y harmonies, the guitars are excellent and the haunting strings add a lovely delicate touch. And it's a real WOW as the harmonies build. Crystal clear production just makes this even more of a joy. Fabulous.

Cheers,

Nigel

Damn Hoop, this is fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. There's nothing in this song that doesn't fit, its perfection.

great tribute.

 I am at a Loss for words......

Hoop...

This is Freaking Awesome.............


I am gonna go and collect my thoughts.... so I can respond properly....

Your production skills never ceases to amaze me Hooper, and those harmonies..wow!!!

I loved Tharek's original, one of my favourites of his, and you have provided a cover of a standard that this great song truly deserves...it is simply wonderful.

I am getting goose bumps listening to this, so can't imagine how Tharek is feeling!!

Outstanding Hooper!

Top-class production, playing, performance, guitar sound, harmonies....everything!
This sounds really good.

I think you left "T" speechless.

Great song "T"!
Great cover Hooper!

Oh man Hoop! It's incredible. You really know how to deliver a song. This one lends itself to you so well and you don't disappoint.

Tharek, you must be overwhelmed. Like seeing your words in print or your play on the stage.

Your song is beautiful my friend.

What a team. It's taken my breath away.



 

Unbelievably amazing cover , pure ear candy , well written T

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said....
Except maybe for Bravo!

Hooper....


Thank you for Doing This....

This is how I wanted the song to sound.... But I haven't got the skill or equipment...




You Are Amazing Bro...








Listening to this fill's me with a Joy that stops me in my tracks....

Then I listen to the Power you have put behind the words and I sit backin Awe..


Utterly Amzing Hoop!

I stuck this on in the Car today.....
I had to pull over to listen because I got a bit emotional...

The only thing that could Counter-act the effects was playing this in conjunction to Th FCUK cover by Vann, Mark and Geir...... But then that made me all soppy as well...


Thank you Bro....


It is my birthday weekend......   This is one of the best gifts I have ever recieved...

Also, I wouldn't be able to do half what I can do these days if it wasn't for your advice..


You have a true Gift Ken...  You Spread a lot of Love around this World.


Peace My friend


Tharek (OsCKilO.....Tear in Eye) :)

Did I Say I Freaking Love you man!!!!!!!!

I must of been blind not to see this!! And now i hear this and it sounds absolutely beautiful to my ears.

Great job on another Tharek classic Hooper!!

Everything you two fellas touch turns to gold - great cover of a great song!

Fantastic version of the great tune!! Sounds so 60's and those harmonies... WoW!!

man that was good. Love the feel, the guitar, the harmonies! I kept thinking how great would it be if 'we' ran the world. The masses rising up against the few and making their feelings heard. Yea, I'm feelin the 60's, just not stoned.

I can sure solve that problem for you Pamala  ;D

How the hell did I manage to miss this?! Ken takes things to a new level again. This is the aural bliss that happens when you take a GREAT song and throw Hooper's performance and production brilliance into the mix. It's like smoking some pungent, heady hash with Crosby Stills and Nash in a sunny californian cornfield c.1970, lol (now wouldn't that be great?!).

Having had the Hooper treatment on one of my songs, I know the feeling that Tharek would have got listening to this for the first time (whilst wondering why we can't make them sound like this ourselves!!!). But that's the Hooper magic.

Wow.

Me and Mike were Talking about that yesterday.....

It is hard to describe......



It is Almost Like going to a shop, giving a cashier a £20 note to pay for some cigs, then Getting £200 back in change.....

i had a dip in the songcrafters tributes forum and this caught my ear again, fanbloodytastic.

Big Ugly Melon Pie

i love this one hoop..........................

bin having a dig round in the songcrafters tribute fest,
https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?action=festival;sa=TributeFest

that had to be the best fest, lots of fabulous stuff here, and lots of love.

we should do another.

this needs bumped, as someone once said "one of my favourite artists covering one of my favourite artists" brilliant.

Great bump of a great cover of a great Songcrafter's song by another great Songcrafter. Did I mention it's great? :)

But seriously, love the CSNY vibe I hear, and man - the playing and production are just stellar.

on this day bump for tharek and hooper. i miss you both.

Bump

And a very timely one, too. Stellar cover of a compelling song from two of Songcrafters' finest.
