Feeling Good
......continuing our series of songs that should never be attempted to be covered, the current Mrs Daryl1968 and I covered this one. It was a labour of love that took nearly 18 months from Mrs D saying 'we should cover this one' to what you hear. Enjoy.... http://soundcloud.com/elizabeth-greenway/feeling-good-24-bit-master

Daryl, this is a beautiful recording in every way. Is this the same voice that covered "Titanium" not so long ago? You two make quite a team. Bravo.

and, oh yeah, well done! very professional, classic recording with a beautiful voice. that said, I am somehow missing some twist or edge...don't get me wrong, it is great, but it is not touching me. I think it is lacking a little bit of something different...to make it special and stand out a little more.

very nice cover..... in every way. Nothing like a big band backing track..... lots of work went into getting that right.
I enjoyed this. I never heard this before so I'm simply going on what you have done with this.

Gutsy. :) And very well done too! Elizabeth's beautiful voice really shines, as usual. Backing tracks really capture the mood of the original. Fantastic work guys. :)

Great work and arrangement, I liked the brass lines in the background! Very skillful and the style is spot on. No real string section? The singer has a fantastic voice, it must be fun to do stuff like this together.

The main body was excellent, made me fell like I was in a hip version of "Casablanca", the mix, production are well put together and a perfect voice for that tune, a sleazy and funky mix. Even Bogart would love it!!

OOOOh, I think I like this a lot!!! Mrs. Daryl has a beautiful voice!! I like this style a lot too, what would you call it, "cabaret"? But with modern touches. This reminds me a lot of a Jon Brion production. The kind he used to do for Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple. This could be a radio hit under the right circumstances. I could see Miley Cyrus singing this (as she disrobed) Lol. But seriously, I am enjoying this song very much. Thanks for sharing Daryl!!!
