Thanks for listening and for the support, Steve! The simultaneous fingerpicking and singing was hard to get down perfectly, so I'm glad it turned out okay.

@sistersavage -- thanks for the kind words, Tess!

Suits your style well. Tom will be applauding from heaven I reckon. Good job!

Beautiful acoustic song Tom. Great performance!

LOVE your tone! Another beaut.

Love the songs you choose to cover - this really suits your ethereal style - very haunting.

Wonderful and fitting tribute...

Took me about a decade of singing alone in my bedroom before I was brave enough to record anything! I'm glad it sometimes sounds good enough to listen to. Thanks for your kind feedback, Steve!

Really nice sound and feel to this. Wish I could sing as well as you Tom! Great!

The reverb I get in my apt definitely added a nice flavor to this song. I've been playing this tune in one form or another for at least 15 years, so I thought it'd be cool to record it in the new place to see how it sounds in novel surroundings. As always, thanks for the support and kind feedback, Steve!

Atmospheric sound and great vocals Tom! The chord syncing sounds difficult but you made an excellent job of it. Great job!

Had to revisit this one…your best!

Nice song, new to me. Like the live sound and fretboard squeaks, creates a mood and an atmosphere. Great vocals! The chord syncing sounds tricky, but you've made a very special performance here Tom. Excellent!

Thank you for listening and for the kind words, @sistersavage!

Very nicely done. Great energy in that music.

I definitely tried to go for a natural approach and that has its pros and cons. There are a few word salads in this song that I stumbled through but at least it's authentic and authenticity was key with this one. Thanks, as always, for listening and providing the kind feedback, Steve!

Nice song, Natural and stripped back, it's very well performed Tom.

Thanks, as always for listening and for the kind feedback, Steve! It's kind of scary to strip everything away and really expose one's voice and playing. So it's kind of a relief that what I did here still turned out sounding okay.

Cool. You can perform very well without a bag of tricks Tom, and I think that's proper talent. Excellent!

Very sweet and good tempo Tom.

Keith House or The Roadhouse from Season 3 of Twin Peaks? Mystical.

Quite possibly tied with The Simpsons "Dr. Zaius" as the best Planet of the Apes inspired song ever!

Great stuff -- I particularly appreciate the lyrics and the guitar solo!

I'm late to the party on this one, but had to comment to say that I think you really did a great job making this song your own -- bravo!

Enjoyed this one!

Yes, I'm back! I actually didn't go anywhere. I just am slower to get things learned and recorded these days. But I'll keep posting songs as I finish them. Thanks for the encouraging words, Mike!

Wow -- love it!

@isband Seems this one might be my first recording to get the Voldemort treatment

They say "you are what you eat." I find this to be true because as soon as I bought some ready-to-eat apricots, I was ready to eat apricots. My favourite thing about these ready-to-eat apricots is that they were in a resealable bag, because sometimes you aren't ready-to-eat apricots enough. Maybe next time you'll buy some ready-to-eat apricots.

Thank y0u for the kind words and for the listen, @tonycee and @isband!

Thank you for the kind words @tonycee!

Took me a "long long time" to discover this song, but I'm so glad I was finally able to thanks to the amazing third episode of "The Last of Us." Thank you for the kind words, Colleen!

I'm so happy to learn that you plan to take a look at the originals, c}{imps! I'm just here trying to honor my favorite songs and it's a true compliment if I can do well enough to make someone want to hear the "real" version. (-:

I like all four of your songs! The layered vocals on this one are particularly cool. :)

A nice "pick me up" in these uncertain times! The bongos and other percussive sounds are nicely juxtaposed with the simulated jet sounds. Cool stuff!

Thanks for the encouraging words, Tess! Authenticity is definitely what I'm going for with these songs.

@SisterSavage: As always, thank you for listening and thank you for your kind words, Tess!

Inspiring!

I had a lot of fun listening to this one. The subtle use of sitar and the chugging rhythm guitar are two cool things (of many) that jump out at me. Nice work, Steve! :)

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