what do you guys think?

This doesn't sound like the version I am familiar with.

the bass sounds about a 1/2 step off to my ears. (starting around 0:44)

yes on purpose, to create sonic spacing.

Don't get me wrong, but it seems like you took the lyrics and set it to original music.  If I am right, I think you did a disservice to your music by not taking credit for it.  Yes, the rhythm of the lyrics in your song parallel the older version, but unless my tinnitus has made me tone deaf  too (which I am not discounting as a possibility), your melody, chords, and overall arrangement are uniquely your own. (I could be wrong on this, though.)

I like the way you created a new version of this old classic.  The ending is a little long for my taste, but everything else is dope.  I really enjoy your covers!

Excellent. Really, really nice reimagining. Understated yet powerful. Great vox. Great arrangements/playing by all the instruments, lots of interesting rhythm section turns. I would love to hear this on the radio????

Nice.  I like the rather sparse piano accompaniment.

Thanks

Had to check this out, my uncle used to play the original version on the accordion ha. Really enjoyed where you took this. As for the mix, to me the vocals got a bit lower when the full music came in. And overall the sounds are dark tones total opposite of the old version, which is interesting and expressive. Nice job.

Pristine carving work here. Everything is nice in the mix. Video fits the feel you were looking for.

That was on purpose as it's a dark empty feel.

It's cool that your uncle used to play the original version of the accordion! The change in sound tones, especially considering the accordion price, is intriguing and adds depth to the music.
