Great cover, thought this was exceptionally well done

Cool

An exceptionally good cover! The instruments were beautifully done and the arrangement was amazing. Your vocal tone is so similar to McCartney that I had to stop and check to see if I hit a wrong link. The mix is lush and pristine. Fantastic job on one of my favorite Beatles songs!

One of my fav Beatles songs and this cover is amazing!

Thank you!  I've been wanting to cover this since, well since the 60s!

Thanks Kevin.  Wow!  With my voice I never thought I would be compared to Paul - thank you very much for that.

What can I say, absolutely first class, and you can rival McCartney anytime.

Thank you very much!  Fortunately this was in my tiny vocal range for the most part.  I got lucky!

Steve,
Great performance! Amazing how close you came to the original song. And a great concept bringing an old Beatles' song to life with the AI images.  You might try some Ken Burns style zooms and pans for added interest but just my opinion. I like this one a lot.

I thought it was great!  Really well done cover.  And the images in the video were the icing on the cake, really helping the lyrics hit home.

Thanks Bjorn - you are right - I always intend to try and get more creative with the videos, but seems like the learning curve is just high enough to slow me down!  Especially after all the time spent on just getting the audio right!  Thanks for listening.

I only listened to it to hear you botch the octave plus a minor 3rd interval (the 2nd, "Where do.....").

But you nailed it!

Hahaha - usually I'm a stickler for that type of thing.  Your comment reminded me of the horror I felt watching a version of 'The Weight' and the three singers did a  major third for the harmony on 'And' totally missing the best part of the song, the ADE harmony.

The lonely people!

They are those left behind when their partners and friends die simples.

Always brave to cover a Beatles song nicely done Steve.

Extremely well done.  You captured the essence of McCartney’s vocals for sure.  Love the instrumentation, very well done.  This is up there as one of my McCartney favorites as well.

Happy that you could post this as a cover.  I’ve got a cover of Come Together that I’ve done, but I really never know what to do with it, as most of the internet music sites say, “no covers”.
