Hello there. I got a beyerdynamic tg x 48 mic this week and this is the first song I recorded using it. I'm little flu today, so my voice is not that good, but overall It sounded ok for me. The guitar player is myself.

Good effort, M. I love your guitar playing. And the guitar break sounds something like I would do, only better. :)

First time you sing "darling, darling" you are hanging too low. The way you did it the second time was much better, starting from a lighter intonation. Keep that lighter intonation.

Pronunciation. The song is sung by an american. When we say mountain, it sounds like "mount-in." Rather than mount- ayhn. Just remember that americans are quite lazy in pronunciation of English. :lol:

Abosolutely wise decision to key this song lower than the original and I really enjoyed your low notes. They add a dimension that adds romanticism that is not present in the original. You have created a totally valid version by lowering it.

Overall perception, totally romantic, right in your sweet spot. I could really imagine slow-dancing with my wife while you sing this. And then, after the song, the romantic evening continues and the description of that stops here ....

Thanks James, always nice words. I need to improve my english pronunciation because I don't have a reference of speaking, I hear brazilians, english and north american people speaking english so it makes me crazy.

Well, my name is not James but I think you meant well.

I'm sorry, I was talking with another guy called James in another forum, I just made some confusion.
