this is an awesome version of The Boxer - really liked it! This piece was always one of my favs from Simon & Garfunkel and is on my dreamers list (talk about it in 10 years - ha ha ) and you did so well, added your own flavour to it, but still hear the reference to the original. Itās the first record of yours I heard and must admit, you have a lovely voice to listen to - I will check out some more for sure! Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Thanks everybody by the way.
I love that song and Paul Simon songs in general
Indeed, I take songs apart and I put them together again in my own style.
Never felt anyhing for carbon copyāing songs; Iāve got software for that
Yeah ā¦looking backā¦I donāt want to sound too posh or elitist.
Iāve been doing this for years and the only competition is with myself.
And Iāve done better on that first verse
Iāve been singing this for quite a while and it took me some years to be stable in that pitch range.
singing a lot expanded my range and stability a lot, even before I took a few coaching classes.
I would probably do that if I want to deliver something like a demo to sell my act or something but this is exactly what recording practice is about; hearing what I canāt hear when playing and singing! I always encourage others to do it too. Recording the guitar seperately as extra track gives you something extra when rendering it as a track in your DAW.
Lieven that was the bomb! Awesome playing, really great quality of the recording, donāt know the original so canāt say I was able to pick wrong timing or anything as such to me sounded fab!
Wonderful. I like your own spin on it, but itās also true to the spirit of the original. Why canāt we see you? It would add another dimension to the performance. But I really loved this. Thank you.
Incredibly well played and sung, Lieven, loved it!
It was one of my fatherās favourite songs and your cover brought back many emotions for me.
Really impressive! Thanks for sharing
This is so very beautiful Lieven, so much emotion in your singing, and the playing too is quite impressive! A most enjoyable listening indeed, thanks for sharing it!
I can just repeat what others have already said - this was absolutely fabulous .
I love this song and hope that someday I will be able to play and sing it as well .
Thanks a lot for sharing your version of this song. It was a real treat .
