Taking a break from musicals to do this one - taking me back to my childhood summers at the beach (Huntington Beach/Newport Beach) when this song was a big hit.
this really good. the backing track , with that heavy bass was anything but sunny, leaving it up to you to brighten the day , and that you did with your vocals that swept me up up and away. fantastic job .
I really dig this. I love what you did with the vocals and I also really like the drum sound.
Overall it gives off a very eerie feeling that I appreciate, especially combined with the somewhat voyeuristic feeling video. There’s a Tom Waits-ish-ness to it all and I always love that.
Oh yeah. I remember that song on the radio. You covered it well, but in a new and interesting way. Gotta love the Kinks.
Great orchestration of this song. Great work. Videos a lot work, well done.
Love this song! Great cover, Kathy - your vocals, with the spacey fx, work really well in the context of the dislocated vibe of the lyrics. The little piano accents also add an excellent bit of additional ear candy. Nice one
I always think this is a challenging melody to sing as it jumps about so much, especially the ‘love to live so pleasantly’ bit, but you have smashed it!
My cousin used to play this on his electric guitar back in the day. He was soooo good! He worked at going pro for a while, but you know…
