OK so I did a version of Dancing in the Dark and it was very stripped back just guitar and vox and I thought it might need livening up or maybe that was the point of it being stripped back. I'm a bit er limited as to what to do to liven it up as I can't play any instruments so I thought I'd give some harmonies a go on the basis that I can always delete them. Well they were quite hard to do and it was all a bit scratchy which normally means it's a bad idea! Anyway, here's the version on internal mics and there's a lot of clicking in and out on the BR I should really take out at some point.

Thanks guys - I got the original idea from Amy Macdonald - I'm a big fan and she's been a huge inspiration to me starting out as she couldn't play the guitar when she first started either and a lot of her early songs are 4 chord repeats (so I used to perform a lot of them - although some aren't suitable because of the er age difference). She's also got a lot of really good 'how to play my songs on the guitar' videos on Youtube for novices like myself. My first song I learnt when I branched out on my own in May 2011 was Poison Prince and it's still very special to me. Hopefully I can play it a bit better now!

Love it, Haylie.  Nice vox and harmonies.  Thanks for posting.
