Nice acoustic sound. I like the vox

I like the dour strumming and the dark vox

Very nice! You capture the emotion of this song and it comes across so well Tom.

Thanks, Steve! It was fun trying to make the two guitars work and I'm glad the enjoyment extended beyond just me.

Great song and performance Tom. Vocals good and enjoyed the two guitars : )

@theproods I'm very glad to hear that you're out there supporting some of the artists who inspired me so much!

I purchase the songs you sing.

Glad you enjoyed it, Steve! I had some fun with this one. ;)

Nice acoustic cover, your voice and guitar strips the song back and gives it some soul!

Melancholic but engaging and beautiful at the same time

...you pretty much just described my life @fudetusk

Thanks @fudgetusk! By the way, that gum you like is going to come back in style.

@fudgetusk: Thanks for the kind words!

@fudgetusk Thanks for the kind feedback; I've really enjoyed my ten years here and I'm hoping for at least ten more!

Thanks, Steve! Atmosphere and emotion are definitely what I'm going for here!

Impressive cover Tom! Great atmosphere and emotion shows through here. Very nice!

My aunt gifted me a 12 string guitar for Christmas and so I had fun trying it out for this song; I'm glad it turned out okay. As always, thanks for listening and for the encouraging words, Steve!

Nice cover Tom. I think your voice is great for this song. Great sound!

I'm glad to hear that what I recorded turned out sounding authentic. That "heart on my sleeve" vibe was definitely what I was going for. Thanks for the kind words, Steve!

Like this a lot. You express the feeling very convincingly and bring the words to life. Great!

@JohnnyStone Thanks for listening!

@TheProods Thank you!

Thanks! @TheProods

@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!

@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.

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

@ColleenDillon, @peppermintsky, @TheProods: Thank you for taking the time to listen and provide the kind feedback! Much appreciated!

@peppermintsky Your tone is one of the best on this site, so your words of encouragement are definitely a confidence booster! Thank you!

@TheProods: Thanks! Sometimes it's nice therapy to just give a good yell in a song.

@slkrell, @greg, and @theproods: Thank you so much! I thought of a special someone when I was singing it which maybe explains why it resonates. Since you like it, you might check out Brandi Carlile's version too.

@tdg7 -- thank you for the kind words! I recommend, if you have the desire, to go check out J. Tillman's version; it is far superior to mine.

@kavin -- thanks for the feedback! I improvised this with my brother several years ago so I wish I could still remember how I played it. But I'm glad that you and others are enjoying it!

@GeneEricMann Thanks for your kind words, in particular with regards to my vocals. I know I'm not a gifted singer, but what I lack in skill, I try to make up for in sincerity.

@justinotterguy: Thanks! I think it turned out pretty well. I suggest you check out Low's version, which inspired my version: http://youtu.be/Qy_bQq2sAoA

@TheRoseSerumSextet: Thank you for the kind words. Not many are brave enough to listen to my more improvisational stuff, so I do appreciate it!

@nazarevox: Thank you for listening and the encouraging feedback, Marcelo!

Thanks Ken! I was inspired by Madi Diaz's version. So if you like this version you might check out her version because it's pretty rad.

I don't resonate with the lyrics as much right now, but I anticipated this shift when I called it "the blues" instead of its actual title "street of dreams." So that title change may be why you haven't heard the original. Oh ...and thanks for your kind words of encouragement, Ken!

Thanks Ken!

Thanks, Ken -- I know my voice is not everyone's "cup of tea" so I appreciate it -- high praise coming from another musician such as yourself! At some point I would like to do something studio proper, but that might not be for another few more years as I will probably be pretty busy with school for at least a little while longer. There’s a nice studio in town that is relatively cheap, it’s just a matter of me sitting down and putting together some songs worthy of investing that kind of energy into it. I suppose if I were collaborating with someone it would kind of force me to take it more seriously, but either way it’s on my list of things to do, for sure!
