Holy smokes, bro! I got goosebumps listening to this.

Geir is in "High Gear" from this one I guarantee you!

A brilliant and pro recording!

Agree with lg, superb original, superb cover. This is fantastic Vann, simple and very effective. Didn't hear any issues with buzzing, the acoustic sounds lovely to me.

Cheers,

Nigel

Forget the excuses about the guitar playing, this sounds great! The two guitars are working well.... good clean playing and clear acoustic sound. And your voice is perfect for this. A fine song and a fine performance... recipe for a great recording!

So very beautiful. I love the Geir original too (and even toyed with trying this one myself). You have captured the full emotion and direct honesty of the original, and both your guitar and vocal are wonderful. It's outstanding!

What a song. What a cover. This place is amazing.

Incredible Vann!

Love your vocals and your acoustic fills. This is my fav song from Geir too, and to have 2 awesome versions now makes me sickly happy.

Great Job!!

Excellent, moving song and excellent cover with some nice flourishes! I had already been humming this song ever since Geir originally posted it, and I have been dabbling in giving it a go myself, although I'm not nearly as skilled as either of the two who have done it already. Well, since plenty of rank amateurs like myself butcher Beatles songs on a daily basis, I guess it should still be ok to try it? Hey, maybe the board should do a fest some time where we pick just ONE song (preferably an easy-to-simplify-for-beginners one) and try to have as many different people cover it in as many different (including bizarre?) ways as possible?
