Sway (Bic Runga cover)

Hi everyone! This song was super popular back in my college days, and I’ve wanted to cover it for a long time. But I didn’t realize how tough it actually is—it’s way up in my vocal range and has tons of different chord changes: verses, pre-choruses, choruses, a bridge…Took me hours and hours of practice and a bunch of recording takes to get it down to a semi-shareable version.

Great playing and singing Oleg! :slight_smile:
I am sure it took some time to get it done, but it has payed off. You look relaxed and comfortable and most importantly, you enjoy the song.

I really enjoyed that. The guitar sound didnt come through very strong when listening through my phone but the vocals do and that was really nice singing.

Great work Oleg. I remember this song well, lovely melody. You actually made it look easy, and I am very jealous of your comfortable barre chord work :musical_notes:. Really nice vocal by the way :+1:

I see - your standards are rather high! :slight_smile: The"semi" is out of place in my opinion! Very nice playing and very nice voice too!

Thank you, John. The vibrato was not intentional, it just happened somehow :slight_smile:

Thanks, Ian! Yeah, when I’m recording, I usually go for a quieter guitar and louder vocals—but I might’ve overdone it this time and the guitar ended up a bit too quiet.
