Sorry I missed this one earlier in the month. It's a real beauty. Love the flowy feel to this. Feel like I'm sitting on the back of a car, listening while the ocean is off in the distance...

@doktordoktor - Thanks! I know my voice isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so I appreciate the feedback. Keeps me motivated to keep playing, recording, and singing.

Thanks so much for stopping by to listen and provide encouraging words, @peppermintsky! I feel like you've been listening to my stuff longer than almost everyone here, so I feel honored that you keep coming back to listen.

Nice version Tom. Great voice you have there buddy!

Lovely breezy stuff - and your voice sounds beautiful.

Thank you for the kind words, @Eshar!

I really enjoyed listening. Thanks for sharing.

@JohnnyStone Thanks for listening!

@TheProods Thank you!

This is an AMAZING cover, Tom!

Like it

Thanks! @TheProods

Very cool!

@castratibrothers: thanks for the feedback. I tend not to notice if my vocals are too low in the mix (unless it's super obvious) so it helps to have a fresh set of ears point such things out. And I'm glad to hear you liked the lyrics -- I encourage you to check out the original version by The Verve Pipe because their version is far superior to mine!

Enjoyed this but would have liked the vocal up in the mix a bit. Good lyrics

@Guest: Thanks for the kind words; it's always a welcomed sight when people take the time to listen and comment on the stuff I post here.

Dig the crickets, nice.

Good one...

@TheXinkies: Thanks for the encouragement! Joining a band would be great. Maybe one day...

Dude, you need to get a band together, You have a great voice!

Thanks, as always, for all the kind words, Steve! I'm not a 100, though sometimes I feel that way, haha! I've spend the last two decades almost constantly listening to and learning about music. I don't have much of a "life" outside of school and music and so that's probably why my musical interests seems so varied.

Thanks @GregConnor!

Thanks, as always, for the encouragement, Steve! I thought about making this song longer, but I decided to take a page out of one of your books (cuz you are versatile enough to have many metaphorical books) by going with something short, sweet, and straight to the point. That said, next time I suspect I'll do something longer.

It's really impressive how you have so much going on here and yet it all fits together nicely. Def another one of yours that is a fav of mine!

Glad you loved it, Steve! I about strained my vocal chords singing it, but it was definitely worth it to do justice to such a classic.

Thanks, Proods! I actually tried to play and sing this one in a more understated way so I'm glad it still turned out good.

This is really awesome - my only complaint is that I wished I had heard it sooner! It would fit perfectly between Jeff Beck's "My Thing" and "So What" songs off his 2003 album, Jeff (which is his best album, imo). Excellent work, Steve!

Thanks, Steve! And I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stuff -- long or short, it's always fun and interesting.

I had a fun time recording it, so I’m glad you enjoyed it, Steve! And you should def try a Chili Peppers-esque song when you get the time. I’d be very interested to hear your take on a song in that style.

Cool stuff, Steve! I really like how you have an interplay between playful and profound moods.

Indeed this song was surprisingly challenging to sing and play because that famous riff requires a bit of a stretch and on top of that I tended to play it too fast (a common problem I have). But I'm glad it turned out okay even though it was something I probably recorded a little too hastily. All that said, many thanks for listening to my stuff, Steve!

@TheProods Even though I sometimes like experimenting with different sounds, I inevitably come back to the stripped down sound. Thanks for encouragement!

Love it! You're getting better and better with every song. The charging riff you have here reminds me a bit of the last few minutes of the song "Buckethead's TV Show" by Buckethead. (The downside to listening to as much music as I do is that everything reminds me of something else, haha).

You quite skillfully merge different kinds of styles in this song. If I might offer a suggestion: it would have been nice if your vocals were a little higher in the mix near the beginning of the song -- I was trying to catch the lyrics but they were obscured by the music. Other than that one very minor critique, this is one of your strongest songs, Steve!

I like everything about this song. Well done, Anna!

Thanks for unearthing and commenting on this older song, Steve! I don't think anyone had listened to it until you so it's nice that it finally got an audience.

This was a fun one to sing. I'm glad you liked it, Steve!

Thanks, Anna! As you might guess, I'm also a big fan of the minimalism of solo acoustic music. That kind of music is what inspired me to pick up a guitar in the first place.

Thanks, Steve! It's a song I covered from the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack and I thought its vibe worked well for the new mic/guitar setup I'm trying out.

This song is a nice reprieve from all the "doom and gloom" this month has visited upon many of us. I definitely found myself tapping along with the beat and doing some air guitar (when no one was looking)! Fun stuff, Steve!
