Wow.. thanks for that review. I wasn't too sure how this would fare here so your appreciation is honestly valued.. 'natural and weird'... I might use that...
This is such a beautiful and touching song. I like every part of it. Singing and backing track match each other nicely. I think the music goes into the Avantgarde or Indie direction. Very special indeed, and the basssound is also really cool. Nice.
Wow... Thankyou Pillow. This means a lot to me as you have written two of my favourite songs on this site and I have sung your praises to friends who are also in agreement that you have a special talent. Your thoughtful review is greatly appreciated.
Hi JB.... Without wishing to repeat myself, I very much appreciate the attention you seem to be paying to my tracks, it still comes as something of a surprise to me when others enjoy the stuff I create.
Thanks for the review and yet another fave....
Regards
This is absolutely lovely. "Soothing" is another word that comes to mind. I've heard three of your tracks now, and I really like your sound.
I don't normally do this, but I felt an honest connection to this song, so I might as well - I think you may like one of my tracks called "Imperfect" that's sort of similar to this one, but much quieter if that's possible.
Again SGN, thanks for the review... I really like the use of the word 'lovely', it's not used often enough! I'm 'chuffed' that you found a connection with this song, makes it all worthwhile. Peace

The best rock song I've heard on this site. To be fair, I haven't heard that many, but this is really, really good. The bassline, the atmosphere, the vocals - all excellent. Just love the mood of this.
Thanks abnerbesares... Your review is appreciated.
Yes, it is now clear why I picked up on your track... I really should make clear that some of the acoustic guitar was played by my friend 'DrustIV'... Check him out on this site
Thank you for your kind words...I'm pleased you like it... A special thanks for the praise for my vocal.. I've only recently decided to believe in myself and give it go. The female vocalist is very, very special and I feel honoured to work with her.
Peace
Hey JB... Thank you once again for your kind words... Your appreciation of my 'canon'(!) genuinely brings me joy. Today I shall wear a smile....

2nd review as more thoughts struck:
Backing is dark, almost Goth, atonal disturbing, total deconstruction of the original, stripped of the confetti and candy floss, this is a menacing, brooding take on something, more Dexter (involvement in the macabre and digging it) than any love story boy/girl thing. Modern brutalism of the bass is superb, reminding me of a slowed down Clash, Paul Simenon quasi Dub bass via Jah Wobble, in post-modern minimalism. Drums with shakers, tambourine and percussion sound good, especially crack of the snare, but more editing out to give light & shade and let those scything chops of electroshock guitar do their work. Also reminds me of Portishead.
2. Her Vocals! Why is she not famous already? This is Sandy Denny's evil twin sister, some PJ Harvey in there too, but then again, totally original; the vocals will stand more of the backing doing less, but the backing is fine in itself. Spine=chilling voice
What a mean bass line; it drives the piece along, I like that chugging guitar that comes in half way through that fleshes out the notes. Vocals are great - what a voice. Hard to classify into genre but amazing stuff and a firm favourite of a song I would never have believed I would listen to with any great pleasure until now. The dark side of desire

John... Thanks for your considered review and the fav. This track is one of my personal fav's... I wasn't sure what reaction it'd get given it's origins ... A guilty pleasure made public. I'm really impressed by the words of encouragement that flow here. Thanks again
Agree to Jamscience, this song is catching you, no chance to escape. Absolutely great stuff! Very good progressing.
Definite shades of Björk in there :). Good job!
Thanks a lot hirogenium... I'm humbled by your review... to have it compared to the genius that is Bjork pleases me. AM Bird will be so pleased her vocals are going down well here.

Hi, saw this in the top window and the title caught me. After the intro I was thinking w.t.f! but as the tune progressed I was hooked. Its so off the wall its on the ceiling!lol! wicked bassline underpinning the track and tasty vox as well. Would have liked to heard a bit more of AM Bird as she got a little lost in the mix a couple of times but this is the best cover of a cap and T song ever. definite shades of Sonic Youth in there. Well done!
