    I enjoyed this cover. Nice harmonies and solid music. Very nice.

    The vocal harmonies are really nice, the piano didn't work for me though it sounded really heavy up against such a delicate song. I guess that's the thing about doing covers, sometimes the expectation around how it 'should' sound leaves little room for adding something original.

    There's something really special here vocally though, it evoked almost a folk style treatment harmonically. Do you have a history singing folk music?

    you did a good job with a song I despise...but I'm old enough to remember the MJ dong the original....which tempted me to run over small animals with my bike...


    good work!

    Yep, it was an awful movie but I like the song. Never sung folk before, but I do love listening to it. I wanted to give it like a lullaby feel for my sister who has trouble getting to sleep but does it easily when she hears this song. I did the harmonies cos I thought MJ's version sounded almost empty and lacking.
