Awesome

Fine fine guitars. Beautiful multi octave acrobatic singing and a great earworm factor. Who was the drummer?

This has such great "American indie folk rock" energy, I love it. Really really great job covering your friend's work. And I feel lucky to have listened to this

Very tasteful cover of a really solid original. I went ahead and listened to the original inspiration and your take really hits the mark.

Very cool and nice vibes…i agree that your vocals here is one of your best performances so far. I also like those slidong guitars in the middle eight (or is it actually a chorus?). The short guitar solo also works fine. Great!

Love that opening melody. A very cool song! I’m sure the original artist would be proud of your cover. I’m having a great time with it too.

The voice indeed sounds great. A nice traditional rock arrangement, a great tribute!

Nitpick: the guitar is quite out of sync with the drums at times, not sure what happened there.

Awesome vocals!  Catchy melodies and love when it changes up at the 1:39 mark. A hopeful and anthemic song.  I'm glad you were able to cover it after so many years.

Nice cover! I am vibing with the sounds you're putting from 1:40. I don't know why but it reminds me of the beach boys though it does not really sound anything like them. Maybe the voice harmonies or the positive vibe? Not sure why but enjoying it!

Thanks!  I always found it rather catchy

That's my old friend the virtual drum kit.

Thanks for listening!  Bob's a great singer, so I had to try my best to even sort of live up.

Thanks!  I felt some pressure to try to give a little something extra to the singing this week.  Back in the early 00's, we used to hang out a lot and pass a guitar around and sing songs we wrote to each other.  Cfurrow and I had a lot of crossover in our music taste.  I remember a few big disagreements on certain bands with Bobby, but there was also a decent amount of common ground as well.  Regardless, I'm sure we all influenced each other as well.  Those were some fun times.

Seems like an apt description.  We definitely were following the folk tradition of singing songs with an acoustic guitar.  Additionally I listened to a ton of indie rock back in the day and have always enjoyed psychedelic sounds.  The swing probably weaseled itself in there somehow.

Thanks!  You guys laid out a great blueprint to follow.

Thanks for listening!  It's a pleasure to cover some great material.

Thanks!  I wasn't sure if I could do it justice, but I wanted to give it a try.

Yeah, I don't know if there's a true chorus to the song, but it works well!  I tried to capture the feel of the original guitar solo without doing an exact replication of it.

I had a chance to get his reaction.  I think he was thrilled to hear a cover version of his song.  I agree, there is something neat about that.  Thanks for listening!

Thanks!  I will take a closer listen to those guitars and maybe try to adjust for future mixes.

Thanks for listening!  I'm not a huge covers guy, but I felt the urge to do this one.

Thanks!  It doesn't feel like it was that long ago when I first heard it, but it's really been a bit of time.  It was really nice to revisit this song though.

I know my friend Bobby is a huge Beach Boys fan, so it wouldn't surprise me if a little of that vibe found its way in here.  Thanks for listening!
