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.
Sorry I missed this one earlier in the month. It's a real beauty. Love the flowy feel to this. Feel like I'm sitting on the back of a car, listening while the ocean is off in the distance...
@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.
@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!
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 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! :)
10 years ago (April 3rd, 2008) I joined alonetone. Here is a rerecorded version of the first song I ever posted to alonetone. The song is "Girl is On My Mind" by The Black Keys
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!

Nice take....I like this better than the original...

Kind of pure and clear, like your other songs. Nice version
Nice, Tom. Simple and effective

Nice version Tom. Great voice you have there buddy!
Lovely breezy stuff - and your voice sounds beautiful.
Thank you for the kind words, @Eshar!
I really enjoyed listening. Thanks for sharing.
@JohnnyStone Thanks for listening!
@TheProods Thank you!
This is an AMAZING cover, Tom!
Like it
Thanks! @TheProods
Very cool!

Enjoyed this but would have liked the vocal up in the mix a bit. Good lyrics

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!

Thanks, Steve! It was fun trying to make the two guitars work and I'm glad the enjoyment extended beyond just me.
@theproods I'm very glad to hear that you're out there supporting some of the artists who inspired me so much!
Love this one; it’s great seeing you back on alonetone! :)
Glad you enjoyed it, Steve! I had some fun with this one. ;)
...you pretty much just described my life @fudetusk
Thanks @fudgetusk! By the way, that gum you like is going to come back in style.
@fudgetusk: Thanks for the kind words!
@fudgetusk Thanks for the kind feedback; I've really enjoyed my ten years here and I'm hoping for at least ten more!
Thanks, Steve! Atmosphere and emotion are definitely what I'm going for here!
I enjoyed what you did here, Steve! I can imagine this being the soundtrack to a remixed Road Runner cartoon.
