This is a great pitch for that amazing voice! So good

Thanks, Steve! And I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stuff -- long or short, it's always fun and interesting.

This is good. I don't know the song, but I like your version.

Like the melody here Tom. Nice job!

I had a fun time recording it, so I’m glad you enjoyed it, Steve! And you should def try a Chili Peppers-esque song when you get the time. I’d be very interested to hear your take on a song in that style.

Interesting cover. I was thinking of doing a Chili Peppers style number. This is good, just you and the guitar. It sounds really cool. Not an easy song. Well done Tom!

Indeed this song was surprisingly challenging to sing and play because that famous riff requires a bit of a stretch and on top of that I tended to play it too fast (a common problem I have). But I'm glad it turned out okay even though it was something I probably recorded a little too hastily. All that said, many thanks for listening to my stuff, Steve!

@TheProods Even though I sometimes like experimenting with different sounds, I inevitably come back to the stripped down sound. Thanks for encouragement!

More good music, gotta let the voice fly without the effects sometime...great pipes!

Good effort! This isn't an easy song, but the tone of it sounds just right.

Thanks for unearthing and commenting on this older song, Steve! I don't think anyone had listened to it until you so it's nice that it finally got an audience.

This was a fun one to sing. I'm glad you liked it, Steve!

Thanks, Anna! As you might guess, I'm also a big fan of the minimalism of solo acoustic music. That kind of music is what inspired me to pick up a guitar in the first place.

nice song

I like it, I always enjoy the acoustic songs, coz they're so natural

Like this version. Catchy song!

Nice cover Tom : )

Nice song. You've managed to do your own backing vocals too. Good job!

From Pulp Fiction too? Powerful song, comes across well Tom. Well done!

Thanks, Steve! It's a song I covered from the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack and I thought its vibe worked well for the new mic/guitar setup I'm trying out.

@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!

@thetworegs: Thanks! This one is one of the few I have recorded that turned out better than I could have hoped. Glad to hear that someone else enjoyed it.

Thanks Ken! I felt a little unsure whether to post this one as I could never get the guitar to not sound horribly out-of-tune. Nice to know that my singing sort of cancelled out the less than perfect guitar tone...

I'm more musician than lyricist, just so you know, but I'm def looking forward to hearing whatever you got for me to sing over. I'll give it my best shot!
