I messed up the guitar in the last chorus but I couldn't be bothered doing it again.

beautiful,

a greatly underrated songwriter.

i met Edwyn a few times back in the day, first time was at josef k's final gig at maestro's in Glasgow.

 i tripped over billy sloan's stookie and spilled my beer on Edwyn's brothel creepers, he was cool about it lol.


he is a really nice guy.

anyway i digress, brilliant Chunk you are one talented individual yersel. lang may yer lum reek.

Don't speak about about spilling drinks on people. I've done it twice in 2 weeks.
Maybe we could try this next time at the folk night

Not familiar with the original but I'm digging this, chunk. Great plucking on your guitar (I didn't hear any mistakes), and your voice is in fine form.

...another great cover from you, Chunk.
No one is expecting perfection, but a simple and sincere expression of feeling; you have achieved that beautifully, here.
Great post.
There is a beautiful symphony playing within us all..

Not a song I'm familiar with, but then again, the only Edwyn Collins song I know is "A Girl Like You". This is a really lovely song & you play & sing it beautifully well. Can't say I noticed the mistake either. Beautiful stuff!!

Me too, although he was a big part of Orange Juice, I believe.  He was the support act when I saw Pulp back when A Girl Like You was big back in the nineties.

I had to double check actually, I though someone had slipped a Simon & Garfunkel song in.  Great performance, great singing.
