Just wanted to share this guitar cover I did yesterday =)
This is a really nice song.. I heard it on the radio for the first time on Thursday, and immediately thought, "Whoa whoa.. what is this song and who sings it??" (yes. I'm shamefully behind on the current American music scene ><)
The beat and the harmonies in the original song are pretty amazing.. although I couldn't quite replicate that with guitar, I tried to do what I can ^^
I should listen to the radio more, perhaps..
Thanks so much for listening!!

i've never heard the original, but the lyrics are really nice. i've always loved listening to your covers, because the simple combination of acoustics and your voice is so memorable.
i hope to hear more from you soon! <3

I like your version better than the original, more soothing and just a better vocal rendition ^^

oasis - Aww thanks! I'm relieved to hear that, because I wish I could've put a bit more attitude into it... if I could get up and dance or something XD Maybe it's harder getting really into the groove while sitting down lol (excuses excuses) *cough* but I'm really happy you like the simple acoustics ^^
visuelz - Thanks for the Awesome Award!! I'm honored

ICD - Doris =D I've been listening to some of your various works lately, and I just wanna say that you've improved and grown so much!! And loving the variety you sing, from Korean to Chinese to Japanese ^^
The autotune "doooown~ doownnn~" part XD umm it made my voice tired doing that part haha. I wanna try autotune someday for fun =P

how you been? i'm glad you're still singing. this sounded really good, its nice hearing you again. your voice sounds more refined and controlled now. <3
it's kind of ironic actually, i am in the midst of remixing this song myself. i removed lil wayne's awful excuse for a verse and also jay sean's 2nd verse and filled those parts with some rap of my own. i just need to record it now.
best regards, cheers!
