Excellent work as always. If I have one quip it's that your voice almost seems wasted on this song. It's a beautiful song but doesn't have what i'd call a dramatic vocal part.

Please don't take this to mean to go and cover "Welcome to the Jungle"...

I've learnt lately that you dont necessarily need to sing with your balls out all the time. I find that it's just as much fun to put a ton of emotion into a really quiet song.

Agreed. It's quite apparent in this recording. I might add that a good voice can never be wasted.

Fine work, Miguel. Keep it up and good luck with your continued pursuit of a music career. You have what it takes. Just keep refining. Sounds like there might be a bit of a clip around 2:40-2:46 ("Mama tried..."). The vocals don't seem to blend as well as the rest of the song. Another tiny nitpick: guitar seems a bit awkward at 4:04-4:05. Just trying to give you some specifics other than "Wow, great, you're fantastic," which you and everyone else already knows. All in all, another keeper.

Be excellent to one another.

Thanks Brian. That's the kind of crit i'm looking for.
I'm surprised you heard clipping between 2:40-2.46 though. I thought it was much more apparent at 3:02. On the "She broke down..." part.

I bought a compressor to try and reduce those but clearly I haven't learnt how to use it to it's potential yet. :lol:

Thanks again.

dude, another amazing cover. i really could listen to your stuff all day, i'd like to once you get an album going ;)

you really went low on this one. i personally like your voice a bit more when it's higher. it almost seemed like you may have struggled a bit on the lower notes. not that you didn't hit them, just seemed like you had to work for it more. but there was one low verse that absolute money. 2:10 - 2:14. i don't know why, but that one line just seemed like perfect studio work. there were others but that's the one that really stuck out in my mind. i just spent 3 minutes trying to find it haha.

i liked the harmonies. i think the back up could have been just a bit louder. not enough to take over, but i think it could have been just barely louder. the back up at 4:00 was better. it was perfect volume.

freaking awesome. another keeper. i'm not sure you have posted one that i haven't kept. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: two thumbsup
