Lovely vocals. Well performed as usual Tom. I'm sure most of us can relate to this subject.

Another song, not sure who Jim is criticising again. Clever lyrics, and I think you deliver them simply and yet effectively. Good work!

Nice version Tom. Don't know the song or whether it's literally about another person, or religion, or what? It's sad, but I like it.

@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.

Smashed it. Great late night feel.

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.

Moody and deep, enjoy the guitar tone and your expressive vocals Tom.

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!

Lovely vocals. Great expression in your voice, this number suits you well, good work Tom!

Nice job Tom. I haven't heard this song before, but I can sense the emotions you convey in the lyrics. The quick chord changes sound tricky. Well done!

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!)

Lovely tone, a nice depth created, and great vocals add up to a really good sound here Tom. Like the way you have added an extra dimension with accompanying vocals. Well done!

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!

This sounds tricky to strum and sing at the same time. I like the rhythm you give it, and vocals are good too. I had a look at Dawes playing it, and I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. I prefer your version Tom, more direct and effective I reckon. Good job!

Thanks so much, Steve! The chorus was particularly tricky to pull off, but I'm reasonably happy with the way it turned out and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Multi layered this time Tom.like the extra guitar coming in. It sounds great. Not easy song to carry off but you have done a very good job. Super!

Thanks, Bookey! Every passing year I grow in my appreciation for Elliott Smith. I recorded another song of his recently, so check it out if you like.

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.

I haven't heard this song. It sounds great though. You always surprise me with the range and amount of material you work with. I don't know how you have experienced so much music. Are you a hundred years old?

Lovely version. Emotional and well expressed and executed. Cool!

I enjoyed what you did here, Steve! I can imagine this being the soundtrack to a remixed Road Runner cartoon.

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!

Cool upbeat vibe on this one, Steve! Fun stuff!

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!

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!

Digging this one, Steve! The melodies, chords, and drums blend nicely with each other. Super cool closing solo too!

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!

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!

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

Sounds like you've stumbled onto a vibe that would fit right in on the new Blade Runner movie's soundtrack; great work here, Steve!

Rad stuff, Steve! It sounds like you're exploring new and exciting territories with your last few songs. Looking forward to hearing what comes next. :)

A trance inducing tune -- engaging stuff! Nice work here, Steve!

A menacing vibe to parts of this one and yet there is some rays of hope that shine through every once in awhile. Quite epic. Makes me think of some of the current events that have been going on in my country recently. Excellent work here, Steve!

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!

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.

I really like how you took the essence of what Buckethead did with this song and funneled it through your lens!

Fun stuff, Steve! I love the speaker rattling bass and the crisp drum sound you got going on here. I'm tempted to craft some lyrics and melodies to this one, once I finish moving.

Thanks, Steve! I tried to go real lo fi on this one -- no overdubs. I figured I was due for some optimism in my song choices after recording all of Beck's Sea Change.

You definitely did a great job capturing Buckethead's propensity to mix in improv with more structured songs (in this case, "Jowls"). It would be super cool to hear you try out "Scraps," should you feel the desire to give another Buck song a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvUGTmaKWTg
