"Careless Whisper" Hook covers Wham (George Micheal) for LI2016Fest

[Hook]

I did this last night and probably should have done it again because of the 1st falsetto section but I love the accidental background. My teenagers had a bunch of friends over and right as I was about to start they came out to jump on the trampoline (I was on my back porch by a fire). I love the way they all go inside half way through the song and I'm let in silence. Then at the end you can hear them inside excluding me...the 43 year old Dad.

Man where do you find all the time to record? You have no bounds where you record either whether it's a car or on the porch like that movie Begin Again where they record outdoors all over the city.

This is a tough song to cover, but you captured it marvelously with the background.

Finally found some time to check out what I've been missing in the past few weeks & what a way to come back! This is superb, mate... Your vocals are (as always) just amazing. The way you sing is so full of feeling & I would never have believed that this song would work with this treatment, but you've proved me wrong in style! Brilliant!

[IanR]

Brilliant.  I love the field recording of the local fauna.

[ODH]

Brilliant recording Hook, lovely

[Oldrottenhead]

gosh! that sounds so much like my house. if i hadn't my headphones on , i would have been sticking my head out from my cupboard/cavern and telling them to shut up "i am recording" lmao. brilliant in so many ways. sounds a happy house.

They should make a film about you called the recording man 
You are all over that area of yours man,shopping malls ,car parks,gardens.
Your a star mate.
Nice version,love the background,makes it real.
If me and old rottenhead sat outside to record we would get hypothermia

I dig it, great performance that was not overshadowed by the kids in the background - Always thought George Michael was a great songwriter and got sold short later in his career.
