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!

This is a new one for me. Nice melody, played and sung very well as usual.

Stretching out those vocal chords again Tom. Very good!

Yes to ES always

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 like Syd Barrett joined Guns N' Roses for a day to rewrite (and sing) their song "Coma." Cool stuff!

Tapping my toe to the rhythm guitar on this one - you're definitely onto something here!

Thanks, Dok! I appreciate the appreciating!

Liking the guitar on this one!

Thanks @doktordoktor! I think you definitely picked up what I was going for on this one. Cool to have the final product received in the way I intended.

Thanks, Colleen! I'm surprised that people are enjoying this one because it is so casually done. I guess it goes to show that simplicity is often the best route.

Sounds like something off an 80s John Carpenter soundtrack. Very cool!

@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.

Thank you for the kind words, @Eshar!

@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.
