....which is in itself a cover of the original tune by The Youngbloods.

My version does not have lyrics, because that's just about the only instrument I can't really record.

This is not the final mix, and you might need to turn it up because I'm mastering it next weekn, but you get the gist. It's kind of weird that my last song for my undergrad and the one I'm most proud of is a cover. C'est la vie.

Feedback would be much appreciated! Cool


Hope you enjoy the slideshow....

I like it, kinda soothing somehow. And I especially enjoyed hearing the prominent role you gave to the keys too.

I'm not familiar with the song, but I think your arrangement is great!  Very rich in texture.

Eh, if you want to get it somehow through other means go ahead, but I'm not making it available for download because it is a cover and I don't own the rights.

Lovely.
It's a very good song but I think Ian Matthews' version is a lot better than Plant's. It's also earlier, I think.The album I have is from1976.
