Thank you for submitting your cover. It's cool that the contest motivated you to finally put down the riffs you first learned when you picked up a keyboard for the first time . Good luck!

This is really nice. It works as a piano song.

Any chance that old cheap Yamaha did the feedback squeal during a rest...?
What I like most about this song, and I definitely love it, is that although you obviously have very capable audio production skills you didn't "reach too far" with the production of the track... Your quality is great, but even more importantly you preserved that authentic bedroom feel that I love so much about a well-executed fan-cover... So often (myself included) amateur producers try too hard with their productions and their tracks end up losing the ability to convey the emotionality as exemplified in songs such as Meladori Magpie, which demonstrate how powerful simple, humble arrangements can be... well done...

Hey that's a great cover for sure but the mix isn't good.
Your shoud reduce the reverb on the main piano, increase the volume of the vocals and separate the vocal track in the stereo from the others instruments.

I don't know what AppleHead is talking about... I think you should make the track mono...
Maybe it's your monitors AppleHead.. What brand/model of monitors are you listening through...?

I'm listening through laptop monitors
maybe it sounds bad

AppleHead, is this the target sound you're talking about.... :razz

Excellent work!! Love the mix, vocals and piano!

yup, I heard reminiscences of Mellon Collie in there. Nice song

Im surprised by few slightly negative comments here. I am really impressed by the quality and feel of this cover and can tell the time you invested. Honestly, any song off of siemese dream is killer to me and i find myself in this groove. Keep it up man

yeah, Berbaker... this song is absolutely playalistacal... I'll be listening to this cover for years to come... even if I have to deviously capture the stream... hopefully it won't come to that... PUBLISH THIS...!

I keep going through these entries and am enjoying all of them. This song still makes an impact

QUOTE: daddy does it better

There are certain songs which have been covered and submitted during this competition that have assuredly made me realize I would have given up from the gate, had the competition been to cover that particular song... among these, this cover is the greatest... I remember, as if yesterday, listening to this song rebelliously and contrary to airline rules, on my cassette Walkman... simply because I knew to hear this while ascending from the ground into the clouds was to outshine any repercussions a flight attendant might administer... a singular moment in time I will never forget... and though my reflection is likely juvenile and falls discounted upon onlookers, that moment built for me a sensual platform from which this song would forever stand... this cover is of the few that returns me to that original place... that individual place in the world important to only to me...

I'm afraid you're 11 days late. The voting ended on March 16 and the winners were announced for the first two categories on March 17. We are still awaiting word from Billy Corgan regarding his vote for the final category.

If anyone cares to hear a remaster of this cover, here ya go:
