Thank you for submitting for the contest. We now have two unique takes on Spaceboy to listen to. It's interesting to hear different takes of some of the songs. This, Luna, Plume, Daydream. Though I think it will be make people's jobs even harder when choosing their favorite, especially if it comes down to deciding which version of a song they like better. That's 26 entries. I wonder if we will get to 30 by the end.
Good luck to you and everyone has submitted

I like the decaying effect on the acoustic and the scary little organ thing during the chorus. Also that slightly different chord change in the verse is a great touch. Really nice man.

PermalinkThis is very beautiful and you can tell that it was made with real love and respect for the original. The vocals are fantastic and the the acoustic guitar sounds gorgeous. You certainly have an ear as to the essence of the song and have retained that while putting a unique twist on it! Good luck in the competition.

I disagree... I thought the Theremin patch (scary organ sounds) was annoying in what otherwise was a nice cover... It worked for Brian Wilson in Good Vibrations... but not here...

Mostly instrumentals since that is what I used to make. Fairly new to songwriting but I have several being worked on.
I'm glad some of you liked it. I can understand the theremin being annoying. I always remembered it from annoying halloween decorations. I had the mellotron section all worked out just like the album but then I didn't want to do the exact same thing so I picked theremin since its spaceboy and the theremin is . . infamously? known for its use in bad sci fi space movies.
