This is beautifully done! Mix is very good as is, and you did a fine job of putting your own stamp on this.

Very nice version. If it was me I would probably try some bigger pads for background and the use that as a foundation for the instrumental break with some nice crisp FM sounds on top.

Thanks for the comments guys. Steen, I'll give that idea a try and see how it goes. I was also thinking of doing a cello solo or something in the category.

This is one of those songs that I have always enjoyed for its apparent simplicity. I find your cover to be very sympathetic with some nice additions and twists. The use of the narrative from Judie is a very nice touch. Nice job thanks for sharing

Nicely covered, really enjoyed this. I actually think the spoken recording works really well.

Nice version - always loved this song.
I do miss a 'big' moment as per the original when drums kick in

That was really nice... "Dream pop" seems about right. I really liked the "reverse" vocal lead-ins in the chorus and how the choir patch worked during the breakdown section. I also liked the spoken word sample - for me it would probably be one of those "hard to hear anything else in its place now" things.
