Oh man, I dinnit comment yet?
 
I will.... soon.

And with all of that said? Again! So much, I appreciate anyone who takes the time to listen, and drop a note. Those with good ears who can help are appreciated "even more!" 
 
I used to think I knew it all? Now, I understand how little I actually know...
 
I do like to sing? And thanks to all for your kind words on my performances. It really is my passion... I sang in choir from 1st grade through 12th? Lettered in it as a Madrigal. Then in bands, then in church, now in the living room. But I do love it so. Not sure how many years are left, hopefully several. I am blessed to have a partner (Mr. Markno999) that I can sing with. He is truly talented.... And I am so fortunate to have such a partner to collaborate with, much respect to Mark even though he did not play on this, I am blessed to have him as a colab partner. 
 
And the fact that my son is picking up music? He's learning to play guitar and keys... It makes me really proud... And he's so talented? It's raw yet, but I can see it/hear it... I hope I can be there for him for a few more years, he's only 11 and a boy needs his father (IMO) 
 
Again, I want to sincerely thank everyone for your comments, suggestions, and support. I really appreciate this forum "REALLY" and there are so many talented people here who I tip my hat to? Thank you all. 
 

Ed, regardless of our differences? *you know what they are :-) I value your talents and abilities! :-D And hope you can forgive my transgressions... They are many.

WHAT? That beautiful girl playing the fiddle was/is only 14!!?? I'm sorry sir, she appeared to be in her early 20s... I don't envy you. The azz kickings you'll need to administer? You'll need to beat people about their head and shoulders, and then move on to their Prell. Again, my sincere apologies. I try not to be creepy? Or at least to disguise my creepiness? I don't want to be "in your face creepy?" I'm sure you are very proud, she's very beautiful, and very talented. VERY talented. 

Sorry about that, Robbie, it was a minor case of Communication Breakdown.    The girl in the video is not my daughter, that's Lindsey Stirling - http://www.lindseystirling.com/
 
My daughter is a big IDs fan so tends to find anything and everything related to them.
 
So... continue with the son-in-law thing. 

Piano sounds like it's in a different room to me.
 
Bass seems a little muddy to me. If you need a "good" bass player I might know Juan.
 
I don't know the tune so I can't comment on the arrangement but I suspect you tried to stick close to the original.
 
Hand claps are good.
 
Good effort Robby. I'm sure your son will love singing it.

Ok, whew! I'm glad I'm not a perv! (as far as you know...) Lindsey is "amazing..."

If you played that Warwick fretless? You would never go back to that Alembic... It would ruin you for any other bass!
 
Ed, thanks very much sir. It is a bit muddy? :-)

Nobody commented on the synths? I worked hard on those, to make them sound like the cover. Those and the drums (damn drums took the longest, I hate the drums... ) But I love the keys? And the bass most of all, and the guitars... The vocals come natural, I like them too. I believe the bass is the soul of the song...
 
There are other important parts? But the bass is the soul IMO.... If I couldn't play the bass? I would try to get you to play it Ed.
 ==============================
The boy said I "over sang" this one? I told him I disagree? This song requires "emotion?"  He felt that my "emotion" was over singing? I don't believe that's so... 
 
It's time to begin isn't it? 

Hup!

well done version.. sounds good

Thanks Big Mac! And everyone else who's commented, I sincerely appreciate that you took time out to stop by. I did this one for the boy, and he was very happy with his version so, "he shoots, HE SCORES!" The fact that others liked it is icing on the cake, thank you all very much. Now I'm actually working on a bluegrass tune?
