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.

A really cool contrast between crunchy verses and catchy choruses, Steve! Big thumbs up!

Thanks, Steve! It's been really therapeutic to play around with these Sea Change songs and it's cool you're enjoying listening to that catharsis (not everyone would be so keen on listening to the more emotional stuff, so I appreciate you taking the time to listen!)

Thanks @theProods! This was a fun collab with Dokdoktor, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Amazing stuff, Steve! You have a real knack for combining catchy beats with creative soundscapes. Looking forward to hearing more!

I really like the mix of sounds you have going on here, Steve! The highest complement I know to pay is to say that it reminds me of a mix of AC Newman's "Town Halo" and Buckethead's best album, "Population Override" (which also tells a sci-fi story across several instrumentals). That said, you obviously have your own muse and it's one I appreciate.

Cool experimental sounds you have here, Steve! I really appreciate how you never rest on your laurels by relying on a formula. Instead you push your sounds in new and exciting ways--it's quite inspirational. So what's this one about? Does h/phones suggest we should be listening to this with headphones to get the desired effect? I can def see how this would be even more impactful w/ headphones!

Yes! Brings back a lot of childhood memories of playing video games late into the night. I'm not afraid to admit I rocked out to video game songs when I was a young kid. Eventually I discovered guitar based music when I was 12 and went down that rabbit hole, but I still get big time nostalgia when I hear stuff like this. As a side note, I hear echoes of Anamanaguchi in what you have here, so you might check them out for similar vibes (if you're looking for further inspiration in this direction).

Thanks for listening to my Beck covers, Steve! I've been listening to a lot of his Sea Change album lately and I've set up a goal of learning the whole album. I've been pretty busy lately and so recording them has been a slower process than I had initially hoped, but I'm glad you have enjoyed the few songs I've posted so far! Thanks, as always, for your encouraging words!

Fun song, Steve--found myself doing some air guitar on this one! Would love to see the lyrics displayed somewhere because it was harder to make out some words and I'm always interested in lyrical content whenever you step outside the instrumental realm. Looking forward to more songs!

Thanks for the kind words, Steve! These last three songs ("Golden Age," "Memory Lame," and "Therefore I Am") are all different kinds of songs for me and I wasn't sure how they'd be received, so I'm glad you liked them!

I've been pondering which part of this song to single out as my favorite, but what I think like more than anything is how well it all combines to be more than the sum of its parts. Great job, Steve!

@sistersavage Thanks so much! I was kind of going for the sort of song you might listen to on your headphones in the dark -- so I'm glad it was received that way.

Thanks for the kind feedback, Steve! This one was a bit of challenge as the chords are a bit obscure, but it was a fun one to record nonetheless.

Thanks again for offering the opportunity to collab on this song with you, Steve!

Fun stuff, Steve! This one really has an inspiring edge to it, kinda like a "We Will Rock You" by Queen.

Thanks for the kind feedback, Steve! I enjoyed playing around with lyrics to this one to suit the sentiments that were floating around in my head at the time, so I'm glad that it turned out suiting me 'cause that is what I was going for!

This is astonishingly good! I think you are being too humble in saying you *just* patch a few sounds together.

Thanks for the kind words, Steve! I'm glad you appreciated the backing vocals at the end of the song--I was trying to replicate a tension of ideas (and impulses) so I wasn't exactly sure how that part was going to be received. It's cool that you noted that part and thought it enhanced the song (which is what I was going for!)

Flawless -- you're really starting to hit your groove with songwriting, Steve!

It was tricky to figure out how I wanted to strum it because the Dawes version has several layers and that forced me to do my own direct version, which, to my surprise, ended up sounding better to your ears. High praise--thanks, Steve!
