I like how you always try and make everything sound like your own, and as far as doing a cover, that is a great quality. However, personally, I love the original too much to really get into this version. But thats just me I guess.

Vocals were solid. Sometimes you can get a little mono-tone, or at least make it seemed a little forced. But solid over all.

Keep doing covers. You always make them interesting (in a good way)

Thanks a lot! I am trying to work on original stuff too though... I just can't do it...

and the original is spectacular. All of give up is spectacular. I was going to do Sleeping in as well, but that would be three covers from one album and that seems a little excessive.

I like it a lot, i was always looking for a way to play this song on the guitar but never could do it, so kudos.

You sing with so much more presence than you used to. Do you record these with the macbook camera? I have been trying to figure out how to do that for ages.
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

yeah i do, just open imovie hd and then under video preferences you can choose an input and just select the isight. then on the main screen theres this little button below the video and when you click it the isight's capture pops up in the window and you can just hit record.

and thanks
