Great version, and ace vocal performance.

Re the key thing, was this a keyboard playing decision, or a vocal comfort/range decision? The reason is, if its a question of avoiding those pesky black notes, I have an interesting trick I do occasionally :-)

Mosts electronic keyboards can be tuned, so if you are playing in Bb for example, you tune the C on the keyboard to Bb and, voila, no black keys to worry about. You simply play in C, but actually playing in Bb. Simple I know, but it works :-)

The sensitive side of this song... very different than the Geir's version, but the two are great!

Love your vocals!!!

Good idea to use the piano, it gives a "classic ballad" and classy dimension to the cover

Beautyful job!!!

This number has got the goods and it's a model recording to boot...
Great work!
