Love this song Rene; nice one.

That song suits your style a lot! It also shows your versatility, that you can make ballads and more upbeat tunes work equally well.

 

[mexicanyella]

Not only that^^^, but your voice! You represent Cat Stevens’ vocal timbre really nicely, while playing with the phrasing in a fun way.

Really nice job!

Those notes seem like it would be a hard one to sing well and u did a wonderful job as usual. We'll call u mr. smoooth. .

I dont think i ever heard that one. I guess I should listen to the original.

Your voice suits his music well. Good to hear too because cat stevens in in my top 5 favorites of all time yet I never hear him mentioned anymore and that saddens me. Nice to see someone else who loves his music.

Hi @FortyEight ,
You are so awesome, and so much appreciated.
The notes are very deceptive, they are actually easy to sing, like a regular folk song, and thanks for the superb compliments!
I am so glad that I was able to deliver this classic to your musical ear!!!
Love your response!!!
With love and respect,
Rene

Hi @fender4life ,
I simply love Cat Stevens, grew up with his songs!!!
Glad to hear from you, and your wonderful comments!!!
I feel the same way, about his getting underground, and not being mentioned in the music scene anymore!!!
Thanks you for your support and love!!!
Respectfully,
Rene

Hi Rene, Covid is not too bad over here. You only have to wear a mask in the doctors, pharmacy and on the buses, so can't complain.
Fond regards my friend.

Dude. This is an excellent take on this song. I'm legit jealous of your vocal talent.
