Nice job man.
I thought you kept a fairly decent rhythm and captured this tone of this song well. A few glitches here and there, but for the most part nice job on the guitar.
Good vocals. To be honest, I can tell that you just learned this song as it seems at numerous points you don't know where you want to take your voice. I'd like to hear this again once you become more comfortable with it.

Good song choice, Springsteen is the man. I like this a lot, especially the nah nah nah part, you did some cool things with the panning i think. The guitar is cool and i can hear the multiple layers though not as well as i would like to. Possibly try panning them L and R a bit.
I would work on your phrasing a little bit and also you need to enunciate your words a little better. Springsteen can get away with slurring but he is the boss. Open your mouth more and try not to let your words run together as much.
Overall a very enjoyable cover to listen to, good job!

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

Runswithbuffalo... thanks for your critique- i guess its pretty obvious that i was trying to emulate him in this song, and you're right he really can pull it off. its amazing to be able to feel the emotion he emits just by the way he says thing and thats a gift that is owned by him alone. i think i might go back and mess with the panning in the layers a little so you can hear a little bit better what i was doing. the real song sounds like a synth orchestra, so i was playing around with ways to make my guitar sound a little spacey. i used three tracks for the music.
1 was me strumming the chords and i used an effect on cool edit called awash in bass which basically just rotates the chord out and makes it sound a little deeper.
2 was a clean acoustic guitar with a little reverb
3 was the bass, i tried to make this subtle- cause i just wanted it to be an acoustic track, but sometimes bass adds a certain level of drama to a song that i like.
thanks again for the listen

Hell, Bruce has said many times that Dylan is one of his biggest inspirers. But Springsteen's lyrics are top notch, most of the time.

Hehe...point taken. It's a matter of preference then. (Like most things are...)RunsWithBuffalo wrote:While i love dylan, the thing i love about springsteen is the working class point of view he writes from, Dylan, especially later in his career was much more of an elitist poet.
The thing I love about Bob though is that he can make you feel emotions so vividly while the music and lyrics are so abstract. I agree he can be an elitist, but not till after Desire, I don't think.
